L'œuvre de Joyce Mansour est la trace foudroyante, voire inquiétante, du principe surréaliste des « vases communicants» : imprégnation de l'écrit par les blessures de la vie tapies dans l'inconscient; empreinte du désir, de la mort, d'un souffle vital indomptable, mais désespéré. Parallèlement, elle témoigne de l'emprise du visuel sur son écriture de chair en érigeant ce « miroir du désir» qui installe une résonance intime entre sa poésie et les œuvres de ses amis artistes. Dans leurs collaborations, ils se subliment, s'exaltent, se commentent, s'illustrent les uns les autres. À leur façon, ils partagent les mêmes angoisses, commettent les mêmes transgressions, exercent la même liberté. L'art et l'écrit se répondent. Cette thèse cherche à suivre le parcours symbiotique entre les images, les mots et la vie, qui traverse l'œuvre de Joyce Mansour. Il se révèle dans la collection d'œuvres d'art océanique qu'elle a constituée avec son mari, Samir Mansour ; dans les Objets méchants qu'elle crée à partir de matériaux récupérés, glanés ou achetés au BHV ... et qui expriment un besoin d'exalter la vie quotidienne, en extraire son essence afin d'échapper au piège de l'ennuie; dans les affinités électives entre elle et ces artistes qui nourrissent ses œuvres, comme elle nourrit les leurs. Ce « miroir du désir» est à la fois singulier - l'expression de la destinée d'une poétesse hantée par la mort et ses traumatismes - et collectif, puisqu'il semble répondre au paysage fantasmagorique d'une génération assoiffée de liberté, mais hantée, comme Joyce Mansour, par les charniers des guerres successives et révoltée par la non-vie des vivants. / Joyce Manour 's work is a striking, sometimes anguishing example of Breton's concept of « communicating vessels » : the subconscious's hidden wounds seep into her writing leaving traces of desire, death and an inextinguishable yet desparate will to live. Parallel to this, the very visual, camal nature of her words provides a « mirror of desire » which enables the intimate echoing between her poetry and the works of her artist friends. Through their collaborations, they sublimate, enhance, comment on and illustrate each other. Each in their own way, they share the same anguish. commit the same transgressions, exercise the sa me freedom. Art and poetry connect deeply. This thesis aims to follow the symbiosis between images, words and experiences which characterises Joyce Mansours work. It reveals itself in the collection of Oceanic art she built up with her husbanc, Samir Mansour ; in the Objets méchants she created using material gleaned from scrapyards or bought at the BHV ... which express a need to intensify daily life, seek its essence in order to escape tedium ; in the elective affinities she shares with with the artists that enrich her works, as she does theirs. This « mirror of desire» is both personal - an expression of the poetess' s destiny, haunted by death and its traumas - and collective, as it seems to reflect the phantasmagorical landscape of a generation hungry for freedom, but haunted, like Joyce Mansour, by the mass graves of successive wars, and in rebellion against the non-life of the living.

Nesse trabalho, a incidência da prisão para além de seus limites físicos e institucionais é problematizada a partir da exploração e confrontação de dois contextos sociais distintos: a Catalunha e São Paulo. Os vasos comunicantes que conectam a prisão a outros territórios sociais, bem como as experiências de diversos agentes que fazem a mediação entre o mundo prisional e a sociedade mais ampla, são questões abordadas através de uma perspectiva analítico-descritiva, visando evidenciar a produção de um multifacetado campo social estruturado ao redor e através das instituições prisionais. Explorando diferentes trajetórias que se conformam nesse campo é possível problematizar algumas das circunstâncias do processo de massificação do encarceramento, assim como outras importantes alterações recentes no dispositivo carcerário contemporâneo. / This work intends to problematize the impacts of prison beyond its physical and institutional limits. Such aim is achieved through exploration and confrontation of two different social contexts: Catalonia and São Paulo. The communicating vessels, which connect jail to other social territories, and the experience of several agents, that provide mediation between prison and the rest of society, are questions treated through an analytical-descriptive perspective, intending to show up the production of a multifaceted social field that is structured around and through prison institutions. Exploring different paths in this field, it is possible to problematize some circumstances of mass imprisonment process, as well as recent changes in the penal contemporary mechanism.
