Cette thèse explore, selon une perspective intermédiale, le rapport entre les phénomènes de remédiation et le problème de la disparition à partir d’œuvres littéraires et filmique : Un cabinet d’amateur de Georges Perec (1979), Dora Bruder de Patrick Modiano (1997) et The Prestige, réalisé par Christopher Nolan (2006). Partant du postulat qu’il existe un lien signifiant entre l’hétérogénéité énonciative des œuvres étudiées – qui convoquent différents genres, modes d’expression et médialités – et le motif de la disparition qui s’y dessine, nous posons l’hypothèse que les œuvres produisent un métadiscours traduisant le fonctionnement d’un régime d’interaction particulier que la disparition aurait la possibilité d’induire : l’hypermédiateté. En tant que contrepoint de l’immédiateté, l’hypermédiateté qualifie ce régime où les seules relations possibles ont lieu par et dans la médiation, à la manière de ce qui se joue dans les œuvres du corpus témoin. La particularité de cette approche est de considérer la disparition comme ayant une valeur productive indissociable des valeurs négatives d’absence, de retrait ou d’effacement auxquelles elle est plus généralement rattachée. La première partie pose les bases conceptuelles du projet en revisitant les théories des médias à l’aune du tournant performatif qui détermine la période « postmédiatique » de l’intermédialité. Est alors explicité en quoi il est possible de concevoir les particularités formelles des œuvres du corpus comme informant une poétique de la remédiation. La deuxième partie s’appuie sur ce cadre conceptuel pour conjuguer le problème de la disparition à celui de la remédiation, et ce, dans le but d’articuler une définition de l’hypermédiateté. Finalement, des analyses en diptyques orientées autour des concepts d’authenticité, de survivance et d’institution composent la dernière section. Le corpus témoin participe d’abord à l’édification du cadre conceptuel, contribue ensuite à problématiser l’idée de disparition et permet en dernier lieu les articulations et approfondissements qui émergent des analyses. Trois buts sont ainsi poursuivis. La visée méthodologique, d’abord, est celle de diriger notre attention vers les actions et processus plutôt que vers les objets (ce qui favorise une pensée de la médiation au détriment de celle, plus figée, du média). Le but théorique consiste à revisiter les théories intermédiales dans le contexte épistémologique actuel pour produire un discours inédit sur le phénomène formel en tentant de dépasser les logiques de l’imitation, du transfert et de la représentation. Finalement, l’objectif général est de concevoir, à partir du motif de la disparition, le rôle de la médiation dans les processus dynamiques de singularisation des objets du monde, et ce, hors du paradigme de la représentation. / This thesis will explore, with an intermedial perspective, the relation between processes of remediation and the issue of disparition drawing on three literary and filmic works: Un cabinet d’amateur by Georges Perec (1979), Dora Bruder by Patrick Modiano (1997) and The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan (2006). Based on the premise of the existence of a meaningful connection between the heterogeneity of the examined works’ structure of enunciation – convening different genres, forms of expression and medialities – and the pattern of disparition they delineate, the hypothesis we propose is that these works give rise to a metadiscourse inferring a particular mode of interaction induced by disparition: hypermediacy. Conceived as immediacy’s counterpoint, hypermediacy refers to a mode in which the only possible relations occur through mediation, as played out in the works of the sample corpus. The distinctive feature of this approach lies in the interpretation of disparition as possessing a productive aspect, indissociable from the negative aspects of absence, withdrawal or obliteration, to which it is more commonly associated with. The first part establishes the project’s conceptual bases, revitalizing media theories in the light of the performative turn, which launched the post-mediatic period of intermediality. From there is explicated in which ways the corpus’ formal properties can be considered as informing a poetics of remediation. The second part builds on this conceptual framework to conjugate the problem of disparition with that of remediation in order to articulate a potent definition of hypermediacy. Finally, the last section presents three diptych analyses oriented around the concepts of authenticity, Nachleben and institution. The sample corpus primarily contributes to the enlightenment of the conceptual framework along with problematizing the idea of disparition. Lastly, it allows in depth articulations to emanate from the analysis. Three goals are thereby pursued. Firstly, the methodological goal is to direct our attention towards actions and processes rather than objects, favoring an idea of mediation over the more static perspective of media. Secondly, the theoretical goal consists of revising theories of intermediality in the current epistemological context to create an original discourse on the formal phenomenon, with efforts to overcome the logics of imitation, transfer and representation. At last, the general objective is to produce a discourse about the way mediation participates to the dynamic processes of singularization applied to people and objects. Disparition is the prisma through which these processes are conceived in a manner that is contrapuntal to the representational paradigm.

The Poetry of Religion and the Prose of Life: From Evangelicalism to Immanence in British Women's Writing, 1835-1925&" traces a tradition of religious women poets and women's poetic communities engaged in generic and theological exploration that I argue was intimately intertwined with their social activism. This project brings together recent debates about gender and secularization in sociology, social history, and anthropology of religion, contending that Victorian and early-twentieth-century women poets from a variety of religious affiliations offer an alternative path into modernity that embraces the public value of both poetry and religious discourse, thus questioning straightforward narratives of British secularization and poetic privatization during the nineteenth century. These writers, including contributors to The Christian Lady's Magazine, Grace Aguilar, Dora Greenwell, Alice Meynell, Eva Gore-Booth, and Evelyn Underhill, turned to social engagement and immanence, a theory of divinity within the world rather than above and apart from it, to bridge a widening gap between religious doctrine and poetic theory. Appropriating the growing interest in immanent theology within British Christianity allowed women to write about the small, the domestic, the human, and the everyday while exploring the divine presence in them, thus elevating and publicly revealing experiences traditionally allocated to women's private lives. Just as the women in this study questioned the distinction between the divine and the everyday, they also blurred the generic boundaries of poetry and theological prose. As lyric poetry was increasingly identified with private experience, they used literary experimentation across the genres of poetry and theological prose to engage public debates on a surprisingly large number of issues from factory reform, to mental disability, to urban poverty, to women's suffrage, to pacifism. This project includes four chapters, each of which examines a female poet or a poetic community of women connected through the publishing world. The first two chapters focus on tensions among commitments to poetry, religion, and social reform within Anglicanism. Trapped between the desire to encounter a transcendent God and the desire to celebrate earthly ephemera and improve earthly conditions, these poets demonstrate the tension from which a poetics of immanence arose. My third and fourth chapters follow the extension of immanence in late-nineteenth-century Catholic verse and early-twentieth-century mystical verse. These writers used a growing theological emphasis on immanence to justify poetry that relied on female experience, to suggest that the divine was at home in the constantly evolving natural and social worlds, and to illustrate God's equal proximity to the mundane and the marginalized, inspiring challenges to social and institutional hierarchies.

This thesis is concerned with the negotiation of cultural and literary matters in South African public life during the period 1938 to 1960. While I begin with an exploration of the more 'orthodox' or 'academic' traditions of literary-cultural discussion in South Africa, the far more urgent preoccupation has been to explore a hitherto undocumented tradition of cultural-political debate in the South African public sphere, one which arose in the ' counter-public' circles of oppositional South African political groups. What has emerged is a rich and heterogeneous public debate about literature and culture in South Africa which has so far gone unrecorded and unrecognised. What sets this 'minority' discussion apart from more mainstream cultural discourses, I argue, is its overt engagement with contemporary socio-political issues. Articulated mainly by 'subaltern' writer-intellectuals - who occupied a precarious position in the social order either by virtue of their racial classification, class position or political affiliation - this is a cultural debate which offers a forthright critique of existing race and class norms. In these traditions, literary-cultural discussion becomes a vehicle for the articulation of radical political views and a means whereby marginalised individuals and groups can engage in oppositional public debate. In this regard, I argue, literary-cultural debate becomes a means of engaging in the kind of public political participation which is not available in the ' legitimate' public sphere. Focusing in the first instance on literary criticism 'proper', this thesis considers the distinctive reading strategies, hermeneutic practices, and evaluative frameworks which mark these alternative South African discursive traditions . Here I argue that the political, content-oriented, historical and ideological emphases of an alternative South African tradition are in marked contrast to the formalist, abstracted and moralising tendencies of more normative approaches. What the thesis points to is not only the existence of a substantial body of anti-colonial criticism and response in South Africa from the mid-1930s onwards, but also to a vigorous tradition of Marxist literary criticism in South Africa, one which predates the arrival of Marxist approaches in South African universities by some thirty years. Aside from the more traditional critical arena of literary consumption and evaluation, the thesis also considers a more general public discussion, one in which questions such as the place of politics in art, the social function of literature/culture, and the complex 'postcolonial' questions of cultural allegiance, identity and exclusion are debated at length. In this regard, culture becomes one of the primary sites of a much broader contestation of ruling class power. Regarded by many in these traditions as intrinsic to the operations of class and colonial oppression, culture also figures as one ofthe primary nodes of resistance. In seeking out these marginal South African 'subaltern counterpublics', the project has sought to retrieve a history of radical cultural-political debate in South Africa which is not available as part of the existing literary-cultural archive. In this regard, I hope not only to keep these ideas ' afloat' as a way of complicating and interrogating the present, but also seek to provide a more accurate and inclusive sense of the South African public sphere during the period under review. In particular, I offer a sense of the many competing intellectual discourses which formed the broader intellectual context out of which the dominant English Studies model was eventually constellated. I also give attention to the complex social processes by means of which certain intellectual discourses are granted legitimacy and permanence while others are discarded: what emerges in this regard, as I suggest, is gradual 'outlawing' of politics from South African cultural debates which coincides with the rise of the apartheid state. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2005.

In this sense, we start from the hypothesis that the subjectivity was fruit of the spirit of the time stuck to the development of the arts that walked faster and faster towards the formatting of the subject as mediating center and configurator of the world and of the arts. The notion of a reflective self that had arisen in political, social, and philosophical events made subjectivity appear as the essence of modernity. However, in the field of lyricism, it has slipped in the problem of the method of theories of knowledge, linked to the foundational idealism of the leap into the thinking interiority of a new ontology of the arts, to its own conception that we will call fragile beauty, The lyric was born without a lyre, within the limits of a self that experiences the present preterite of the world when it undoes its own self in unity in the materiality of the word. From this we have structured this thesis in the idealism of Fichte and Schelling, in the reflexive romanticism of Novalis and in the dialectic of Hegel like resolution of the previous idealists. The latter being the object of contestation in the position of lyrical subjectivity. Guided by the analysis of such theorists, we set out to examine the work of Dora Ferreira da Silva (1918 - 2006), demonstrating how a new subjectivity, in no way indebted to the idealists, was formed in the pages of the poet herself, her poetics being entangled by Thought, sensitivity and truth. Thus, we selected works and poems in which the question of subjectivity became visible so that we could associate subjectivity, lyrical, truth, reflection and existentiality as forms and performances of new subjectivities. / Nesta tese, pretendemos discutir a subjetividade na formação da lírica moderna, tendo em vista o seu desenvolvimento junto ao Idealismo e ao Romantismo alemão a partir do século XVIII. Neste intuito, partimos da hipótese que a subjetividade fora fruto do espírito de época preso ao desenvolvimento das artes que caminhavam cada vez mais rápido em direção à formatação do sujeito como centro mediador e configurador do mundo e das artes. A noção de um eu reflexionante que se erguera nos acontecimentos políticos, sociais e filosóficos fizeram vislumbrar a subjetividade como essência da modernidade. Entretanto, no campo da lírica, ela veio resvalando no problema de método das teorias do conhecimento, atrelada que esteve ao idealismo fundador do salto na interioridade pensante de uma nova ontologia das artes, até sua própria concepção que denominaremos de frágil beleza, ou seja, a lírica nasceu sem lira, nos limites de um eu que vivência o pretérito presentificado do mundo quando desfaz o próprio eu em unidade na materialidade da palavra. A partir disso, estruturamos esta tese no idealismo de Fichte e Schelling, no romantismo reflexivo de Novalis e na dialética de Hegel como resolução dos idealistas anteriores. Sendo este último, objeto de contestação na posição da subjetividade lírica. Orientados pela análise de tais teóricos, partimos para o exame da obra de Dora Ferreira da Silva (1918 - 2006), demonstrando como uma nova subjetividade, em nada devedora aos idealistas, foi se formando nas páginas da própria poeta, sendo sua poética enredada por pensamento, sensibilidade e verdade. Assim sendo, selecionamos obras e poemas em que a questão da subjetividade ficasse visível para que pudéssemos associar subjetividade, lírica, verdade, reflexão e existencialidade como formas e performances de novas subjetividades.

The purpose of the present work is to investigate a part of the mythical imaginary of the poet and translator from São Paulo Dora Ferreira da Silva (1918 2006). It will be done from the analysis of poems which were chosen from the book Hídrias (2004) and from some this author‟s other books. The themes of the poems which were chosen are the Greek mythology and its characters, whose stories are retold in a lyrical way by the writer. Dora Ferreira da Silva brings back the meaning of sacrality that the mythical tradition carries with itself, she also demonstrates as the man is not, definitely, a being which is formed only by the rational thought, but, otherwise, he is extremely subjective and symbolic and goes through, necessarily, the imaginary ways to constitute himself as a complete being. The theory of the imaginary, by Gilbert Durand, that values the human subjectivity and its imaginative aspect was used as a theoretical base for this work and shows how the man will be always incomplete if he does not carry with himself images, symbols, archetypes and myths, themes which are also studied by Carl Gustav Jung and Mircea Eliade, in whose fountains Durand drank and who have part of their works used as theoretical base of this study as well. The myth of Persephone is recurrent in all Dora Ferreira da Silva‟s work and she chose it as her favorite. Through the analysis of poems which have this goddess as the main character, we also investigate in this work, observing the distance between biography and fiction, the relationship that there was between the Persephone and the poet. / O objetivo desta pesquisa está em se investigar parte do imaginário mítico da poeta e tradutora paulista Dora Ferreira da Silva (1918 2006) a partir da análise de poemas retirados do livro Hídrias (2004) e de alguns outros livros da autora. Os poemas escolhidos têm como tema a mitologia greco-romana e seus personagens, cujas histórias são recontadas liricamente pela escritora. Dora Ferreira da Silva resgata a noção de sacralidade que carrega a tradição mítica e demonstra como o homem não é, definitivamente, um ser uno, formado simplesmente a partir do pensamento racional, mas, ao contrário, é extremamente subjetivo e simbólico e passa, necessariamente, pelas vias imaginárias para se constituir como ser completo. A teoria do imaginário, de Gilbert Durand, que valoriza a subjetividade humana e seu aspecto imaginativo, foi usada como base teórica para este trabalho e mostra como o homem será sempre incompleto se não carregar consigo imagens, símbolos, arquétipos e mitos, temas estudados também por Carl Gustav Jung e Mircea Eliade, em cujas fontes bebeu Durand e que têm também parte de suas obras utilizadas como base teórica deste trabalho. O mito de Perséfone é recorrente em toda a obra de Dora Ferreira da Silva e ela o escolheu como sendo seu favorito. Através da análise de poemas que têm como personagem principal essa deusa, investiga-se ainda neste trabalho, resguardando a distância entre biografia e ficção, a relação existente entre a personagem do mito e a poeta. / Mestre em Teoria Literária
