Although the Maximes as we know them are the original work of the duc of La Rochefoucauld, Jacques Esprit and Mme de Sable contributed to the first versions of the text. At one time, the three friends even talked of regrouping their contributions in one volume. However, little by little, the "common collection" seems to contain only the reflexions of La Rochefoucauld, and Mme de Sable and Jacques Esprit decide to become writers in their own right. So, while the marquise chooses also to write "maximes", Esprit prefers a moral treatise on the falseness of human vertus, La Faussete des vertus humaines. Having become writers, Esprit and Mme de Sable nonetheless produce second-rate works, while only La Rochefoucauld produces the masterpiece known as the Maximes. Our study traces the phenomenon of the artistic literary work which emerges from what began as a collective effort. Through a historical, thematic and stylistic approach, we establish different elements which contribute to the fundamental originality of La Rochefoucauld's Maximes.

In 1750, the architect Giovanni Niccolo Servandoni built a Temple of Love in Gennevilliers, just north of Paris for the notorious libertine, the Duc de Richelieu. The new social freedom gained by the decline of the ancien regime gave birth to a democratic space that first appeared in the theatre and a personal freedom which changed the currents of thought on love. Servandoni's work as a painter, theatre designer and engineer of spectacles are promoted in the theory of Jacques-Francois Blondel and later Nicolas Le Camus de Mezieres as prime examples of architecture in their theories of sensation. Libertine love, read through the literature of the time, clearly understands the limit of sensation and the "terrible state/loss of freedom" produced by real love. By general consensus an agreement to operate within the realm of sensation governs the ethics of libertine love and architecture. Servandoni's Temple of Love provides an ironic statement on love in the eighteenth century.

Pour dépasser les limites inhérentes à la déconnexion des disciplines ou celles imposées par les sources, les périodes ou les sites, cette thèse propose une approche pluridisciplinaire et diachronique de la question de l'approvisionnement en pierre des chantiers médiévaux et modernes. Grâce à la confrontation de bâtiments d'origines et de fonctions différentes, ce travail cherche à décortiquer les processus de choix et réseaux d'approvisionnement en pierre, pour envisager le rapport des hommes à une ressource naturelle. / In order to go further limits inherent to subject disjunction, or those imposed by sources, periods or sites, this thesis emphasises a multidisciplinary and diachronic approach of stone supply on medieval and modern building sites. Thanks to the confrontation of buildings with different origins and functions, this work tries to dissect process of choices and stone supply network. It finally considers connection between people and a natural ressource.

La présente thèse est une discussion sur l’aspect de roman-critique de l’œuvre de Marcel Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927). Tout d’abord entamée sous forme de fragments critiques intitulés le Contre Sainte-Beuve, elle se voit, au cours de la rédaction, transformée en un roman. Cette évolution est clairement visible à travers les nombreuses réflexions sur la littérature présentes dans l’œuvre, mais quelle en est la signification ? Notre hypothèse est que l’intérêt de Proust est passé du discours monologique de la critique à celui de la description romanesque des mœurs autour de la littérature. Afin de la justifier, nous examinons les divers aspects des personnages qui parlent de la littérature : nous analysons la manière dont ils évoquent Mme de Sévigné, le duc de Saint-Simon, Victor Hugo et Honoré de Balzac, les quatre écrivains les plus fréquemment mentionnés. Nous comprenons ainsi, que les opinions manifestées par les personnages représentent la réception de chacun des auteurs en question, réception liée à leur caractère et rôle dans le roman. Nous constatons donc que Proust fait avant tout une description de différentes attitudes concernant la littérature sous forme de roman, que la démonstration de ses propres opinions sous forme d’essai critique. / In this thesis, we discuss the aspect of “critique-novel” of Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927). Proust originally undertook this novel as a series of fragments of critique that are titled le Contre Sainte-Beuve, but in the process of writing, the uncompleted fragments slid to a novel. This origin partly accounts for the plenty of references to literary works in this roman. Then, what is the point of the transformation from a critique to a novel? Our hypothesis is that this transformation occurs due to the transition of Proust’s main interest—from the monological narration of the critique towards the dialogical and descriptive discourse of the novel of manners, in which characters are concerned with literature in their own way. In order to demonstrate the hypothesis, we examine various aspects of characters who talk of literature in the novel, analyzing their opinion for four most frequently referred authors, Madame de Sévigné, duke de Saint-Simon, Hugo and Balzac. This approach has enabled us to find that the characters’ opinions represent the reception of the authors in question, and that the opinions have a role of typifying and situating the characters in the plot. Therefore we can conclude that Proust chose to draw the behavior of people around literature with the form of novel instead of simply stating his own idea.

De retour de ses voyages en Ethiopie, l’explorateur scientifique basco-irlandais, Antoine d’Abbadie, fit appel, en 1864, à l’architecte Eugène-E. Viollet-le-Duc pour édifier sa demeure. Le restaurateur de Notre-Dame de Paris et son collaborateur, Edmond Duthoit, qui fut en charge du suivi du chantier et de la décoration, proposèrent une œuvre originale, voire délirante, rare par son homogénéité stylistique et à l’image des goûts éclectiques de son commanditaire et de son épouse. Pour la construction du château d’Abbadia, ils puisèrent dans des sources d’inspiration associant le Moyen Age, la science, la religion, l’Orient et l’Ethiopie, composant dès lors un véritable métissage artistique. Cette thèse s’intéresse non seulement aux modes d’expression de ces influences, mais elle tente également d’explorer les motivations, les significations et la raison d’être d’une telle mixité sur le plan historique et social. La masse des archives permit, enfin, de mettre en lumière l’important réseau des acteurs, notamment des artistes et artisans renommés, qui participèrent à la construction d’Abbadia. L’étude de cette singulière demeure s’articule donc autour des personnalités affirmées de ses commanditaires tout en resituant le château au sein de l’histoire de l’art et de l’architecture du XIXe siècle. / When he came back from his travel in Ethiopia, the bask-irish scientist explorer, Antoine d’Abbadie, appealed in the architect Eugène-E. Viollet-le-Duc in 1864 in order to build his castle. Notre-Dame de Paris’ restaurator and his associate, Edmond Duthoit, in charge of the construction site and decoration, proponed an original and delirious work, rare from its stylistic homogeneity and in the image of its owner’s and his wife’s eclectic tastes. As for the château d’Abbadia’s building, they drew in several inspirations which associated Middle Ages, science, religion, Orient and Ethiopia, which therefore composed a true artistic interbreeding. This thesis consists in studying these influences’ modes of expression, and besides, it tries to explore the motivations and the meanings of such a mixity on historical and social viewpoint. At last, the massive archives permitted to highlight the important web of the actors, in particular well-known craftsmen and artists, who participated to Abbadia’s building. So the study of this singular home is built around its owner’s assertive personalities while setting the castle in 19th century’s history of art and architecture.
