A study of the use of colour terms in the six major collections of short stories by Horacio Quiroga

Claraso, Mercedes January 1977 (has links)
The thesis examines the use Horacio Quiroga makes of colour and pattern related to colour in the six main collections of his short stories. As no previous systematic study of any aspect of Quiroga's style appears to have been made, it was decided to list and examine in their context all references to colour (including objects and substance of a characteristic colour, as also references to light and dark). A spot check was made on five contemporary Latin American authors in order to ascertain whether the findings were in any way unusual, and it was found: 1. That colour and pattern are closely interconnected, and 2. that black and white play an overwhelmingly large part in Quiroga's use of colour. In Part III the findings are discussed, and reasons for the unusual features sought. Biophysicological factors may be involved in his black and white view of the world, and the very large number of references to glaring light can perhaps be explained along these lines. Quiroga's tendency to polarize, seen also in other aspects of his writing, is considered to be one of the reasons for the predominance of black and white in his colour references, while at the same time it seems clear from what Quiroga has written on the art of writing that he deliberately restricted his colour range for artistic reasons. This capacity to work within the limitations of monochrome links his work (as do other aspects) to the cinema of his day, in which he was intensely interested. Finally, in addition to yielding the above statistical information which throws new light on Quiroga the man and the artist, the study makes it abundantly clear that Quiroga was not, as is so frequently claimed, indifferent to matters of style, but rather that both in theory and in practice he gave much thought to this aspect of his craft.

FONCTION DES COULEURS DANS "LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR" ET "LA REGENTA".

SIMON, IRENE. January 1983 (has links)
The subject of our dissertation is the analysis of the function of color and of light and shadow in Le Rouge et le Noir and La Regenta. By function we mean the study of chromatic symbolism in these novels; each being a closed world in which the meaning depends neither on the author's personal existence nor on the external circumstances of the novel. The author then becomes a narrator who likewise only exists in his creation, and the historical circumstances of his era or time can only serve as references if they are explicitly or implicitly mentioned in the work. Colors therefore form a meaningful and coherent system in each work, and the object of our study is thus to explain and to compare the color systems of the two novels in question. There are three distinct functions in the chromatic schemes of Le Rouge et le Noir and La Regenta: an historical function, a social function and a religious function; each of which is analysed respectively in the three chapters of our dissertation. Each function also corresponds to two different reading levels in each novel: an historical and social level, as well as a religious level. The historical and social level, treated in the first two chapters, consists of a diachronic and synchronic study which manifests itself in the affective relationships which the characters maintain with the past, and in their capacity to adapt to both he political regime and to the system of individual and social values of their era. The religious level, treated in the third chapter, consists of an analysis of the importance given to the symbolic figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary in the creation of the characters. This religious symbolism accounts indirectly for each narrator's concept of the function of literature and the power of the book to right an historical situation which seems unacceptable to them. Thus, it is in the relationship between religion and language that one best perceives the narrator's point of view and the ultimate message of his work.
