Nous proposons dans cette étude une réinterprétation de Vauvenargues (1715-1747) à travers le concept de dissimulation intermittente. Ce concept nous a permis de relier la pensée de la dissimulation chez Vauvenargues à l’art d’écrire que l’auteur utilise dans son œuvre et sa correspondance. Dans la première partie, consacrée à la correspondance avec Mirabeau, nous étudions la manière dont Vauvenargues se sert des préjugés ou, dans les termes de la dissimulation intermittente, des vérités de détail de son correspondant afin de faire illusion sur la vérité principale d’une conduite prudente, adaptée aux circonstances. Dans notre deuxième partie, nous analysons la dissimulation intermittente en tant que stratégie de lutte contre certaines formes de tyrannie intérieure (haines, préjugés) ou extérieure (lois injustes). Notre troisième partie est consacrée aux traits esthétiques de la dissimulation intermittente. Les nuances, le sinueux, l’équivoque, les digressions fulgurantes rapprochant, dans la saillie, des positions apparemment contraires sont les traits d'un art d’écrire à la fois bref et digressif. Notre thèse se conclut sur le besoin de rattacher (sur les traces de Laurent Bove) la saillie à la philosophie de la métamorphose de Giordano Bruno. Car ce qui ressort avec force de notre relecture de Vauvenargues, c'est la nécessité de l’incessante reconsidération des opinions, des préjugés, de la tradition et des lois. C’est là l’effet de pensée que l'auteur voudrait induire dans le lecteur par son art de la dissimulation intermittente. / This doctoral thesis proposes a new approach of Vauvenargues's works based on the concept of intermittent dissembling. This concept allowed us to link Vauvenargues's ideas of dissembling to his style of writing. The first part of our doctoral thesis, devoted to Vauvenargues's correspondence with Mirabeau, examines the former's way of using the latter one's prejudices or, according to the terms of intermittent dissembling, partial truths in order to disguise the main truth about a cautious behaviour appropriate to the circumstances. In the second part of our work we take a close look at the intermittent dissembling as a strategy to fight against some forms of interior (hatred, prejudices) and exterior (injustice) tyranny. Our third part is devoted to Vauvenargues's esthetics of intermittent dissembling. We demonstrate that author's sinous style of writing is both brief and based on digressions. It is also characterized by witticism (la saillie) which joins in fast-flowing digressions apparently conflicting perspectives. Following a path indicated by Laurent Bove, we establish in our conclusion a parallel between Vauvenargues's saillies and Giordano Bruno's philosophy of metamorphosis. The basis of our argument relies on the necessity of perpetual reconsideration (or metamorphosis) of one's opinions, prejudices, tradition and laws. Vauvenargues's art of intermittent dissembling is aimed to smoothly change the usual train of thought consisting of prejudices and maybe to bring the reader closer to the main truth about the necessity to continually reconsider one's ideas.

It's based on traditionals epics from the Greek and Roman poets, Homero and Virg?lio. Cam?es followes especially their structures. However, the poet insert modifications that divert his poem from parameters established by Arist?teles for the classic epic poems. These deviations are centered mainly on the narrative subject and in the point of view. We intend to show an analysis focused on digressions from The Lusiads, in which the author, himself or by tellers characters, narrates the story in order to make his complaints, reflections and exhortations. Besides, we present general aspects of Maneirismo predominant in these digressions how evidences of modernity of the poem; as one brief outlook about the poem's projection in time and around the world. These points are importants elements of consolidation of a universal permanence of The Lusiads. That's why they have had to read and to study by the centuries, according the vision of the epoch's spirit / Os Lus?adas, de Lu?s de Cam?es, s?o um poema ?pico, sobre a aventura da viagem de Vasco da Gama e hist?ria de Portugal, concebido com base nas epop?ias tradicionais dos poetas greco-romanos Homero e Virg?lio. Cam?es segue os modelos ?picos tradicionais, especialmente quanto ? estrutura. Entretanto, insere inova??es que desviam sua obra dos paradigmas do g?nero cl?ssico postulados por Arist?teles. Esses desvios se d?o principalmente pelas freq?entes irrup??es de elementos pr?prios da poesia l?rica na mat?ria ?pica, o que possibilita a participa??o do autor na obra, tanto no plano da enuncia??o, quanto no plano do enunciado, assim como a inser??o dos acontecimentos de seu presente hist?rico na narrativa, em contradi??o com as epop?ias tradicionais, cuja principal caracter?stica ? o distanciamento imensur?vel entre o tempo da narra??o e o tempo dos acontecimentos narrados. Este trabalho apresenta uma an?lise dos excursos, digress?es atrav?s das quais Cam?es assume a narra??o em primeira pessoa ou atrav?s de personagens-narradoras, para exprimir suas cr?ticas e exorta??es, queixas pessoais e sociais, e reflex?es existenciais. Apresenta ainda os aspectos predominantes da est?tica maneirista como ind?cios de modernidade do poema, bem como um breve panorama de sua proje??o no tempo e no espa?o. Esses elementos s?o preponderantes na caracteriza??o d'Os Lus?adas como obra permanente e universal, que os fazem ser lidos e estudados atrav?s dos s?culos, atualizando-se de acordo com cada estilo de ?poca

Ce document est un rapport de stage de maitrise qui portait sur la réalisation d'un jeu de 20 questions (20Q) consistant à faire deviner par l’ordinateur un objet d'une maison ou un environnement choisi par le joueur. L’ordinateur pose des questions en langue naturelle et analyse les réponses des joueurs. Ce jeu de 20Q a pour but de faire la publicité gratuite de l'entreprise d'accueil, North Side Inc. 20Q est lié au projet Bot Colony, un jeu vidéo développé par l'entreprise basé sur la capacité de conversation et de compréhension des personnages du jeu. Cette technologie est utilisée dans 20Q sous forme de digressions et aussi indirectement au sein de l'algorithme, des définitions et des liens avec les besoins humains. 20Q est présenté sur une plateforme web qui permet au joueur un accès libre et gratuit à travers le portail de Bot Colony. Pour susciter l'intérêt des joueurs et attirer plus d'internautes, nous avons ajouté un aspect de compétition avec un système de classement et de points. Nous présentons également le déroulement du stage au sein de l’entreprise. / This document is a master internship report, it involved the implementation of a game of 20 questions (20Q) the computer has to guess an object in the house chosen by the player. The computer asks questions in natural language and parses the player’s responses. 20Q aims to provide free advertising for North Side Incorporation. 20Q is related to the Bot Colony project, a video game developed by the company based on the game characters ability to use NLU for conversation. This technology is used in 20Q as digressions, and also indirectly in the algorithm for the definitions and the links to human needs. 20Q is presented on a web platform that allows the player a free access through the portal Bot Colony. In order to attract the interest of players and more users, we have added an aspect of competition with a ranking system and scores. We also present the progress of our internship within the company.
