A Thousand Words: Responses to Photographs

Gonzalez, Stephanie 01 January 2007 (has links)
It has been said many times that a picture is worth a thousand words. This familiar proverb describes the idea that complex stories can be told with just a single image and can give you as much or more information than a written or spoken text. One picture. One thousand words. It is in this limited space I have written. This thesis is a collection of prose written in response to photographs/images that have been taken, created, or found, and has been influenced by the combination of the visual and textual mediums of my disciplines (digital media and creative writing): striking images with textual commentary. While observing these photographs, readers bring with them emotional baggage, preconceived notions, memories and feelings. The written commentary (e.g., stories) attached to the photographs adds a new dimension to what the reader sees. The natural ambiguity of a photograph lends itself to conflicting interpretations, all of which enhance the work and bring us closer to a new and deeper meaning via textual-reader interaction.

Vernon Lee (Violet Paget,1856-1935) : une odyssée scripturale entre romantisme et modernité / Vernon Lee (Violet Paget,1856-1935) : the odyssey of a writing between romantism and modernity

Thue-Tun, Marie-Carmen 27 November 2010 (has links)
Vernon Lee est une femme de lettres d'origine britannique, dont l'œuvre éclectique est située dans le contexte historique et socio-culturel de l'Angleterre victorienne de la fin-de-siècle dite «décadente» (1880-1914). La problématique de cette thèse est axée autour de deux fils conducteurs : d'une part, le regard que Vernon Lee porte sur la société de son époque, et d'autre part, son intérêt pour les récentes découvertes dans le domaine des Sciences humaines. Les années 1890 représentent une ère de transition entre le Romantisme et le Modernisme. On peut donc parler d'héritage romantique en ce qui concerne l'inspiration et l'imaginaire des écrivains victoriens de la fin du XIXème siècle. La littérature de la Décadence privilégie les thèmes mythiques, en particulier le mythe de la Femme fatale. L'esthétisme et l'éthique sont au cœur de l'œuvre de Vernon Lee. Écrivain et témoin de son époque, elle utilise son écriture pour défendre la condition féminine. C'est avant tout une écriture avant-gardiste, orientée vers le Modernisme. En effet, les récentes découvertes scientifiques (notamment la linguistique, la psychologie et la psychanalyse) influencent son écriture, lui permettant d'accéder au mieux à l'intériorité de ses personnages. / The 1890s are considered as a period of transition between Romanticism and Modernism. Therefore, we can refer to a romantic legacy of the fin-de-siècle Victorian writers' inspirition and imaginative universe. The Literature of the Decadence favours mythic themes, especially the myth of the "Femme fatale". Estheticism and ethics are the main concerns of Vernon Lee's work. As a writer and a witness of her time, she makes the most of her writing in order to stand up for the woman's emancipation. It is an avangardist writing, which is steered towards Modernism. Besides, she is influenced by the recent discoveries in the field of Social Sciences.

Le motif improbable ˸ le récit d’enquête français contemporain, Thierry Beinstingel, Emmanuel Carrère et Jean Rolin / The improbable motive ˸ contemporary narrative inquiry by Thierry Beinstingel, Emmanuel Carrère et Jean Rolin

Lecomte Dauthuille, Sylvaine 26 March 2018 (has links)
Le récit littéraire au tournant du XXIe siècle peut se présenter sous la forme du récit d’enquête. Cette thèse se propose d’examiner ce modèle tel que le mettent en œuvre Thierry Beinstingel, Jean Rolin et Emmanuel Carrère. La pratique de ces trois écrivains pourrait permettre de mieux repérer l’esthétique et les enjeux de cette modalité narrative en émergence. Dans ces récits, le narrateur se trouve d’abord privé de vérité par un récit autoritaire, contre lequel il reconquiert son autonomie perceptive. Sa liberté retrouvée se manifeste par l’entrée dans l’enquête. Le narrateur élit alors un objet de recherche, un motif aléatoire ou improbable, personne, projet, objet, territoire et entreprend le récit de son exploration. À partir de ce prétexte, il interroge donc le sens de sa présence au monde et s’observe percevant, lisant, interprétant et réagissant. Sa liberté se traduit alors par son implication sensible et réflexive. Entre récit de réalité et fiction, ces récits volontiers digressifs opèrent aux confins de la narration, de l’essai et de l’investigation journalistique. Un tel modèle met en œuvre une attitude ou un ethos de chercheur hésitant et perplexe. Cependant, se construit en arrière-plan une dynamique à la fois narrative et réflexive, au cours de laquelle l’énonciateur entre dans l’observation intense du monde présent, y conduit librement sa réflexion au moyen, entre autres, de la dérive essayistique, renouvelle le discours critique sur l’état de société et propose des modalités de reconstruction imaginaire du monde, réaffirmant une liberté créatrice, voire une capacité insurrectionnelle contre la prétention du monde tel qu’il est à être le seul possible. / Literary narrative forms at the dawn of 21st century sometimes take the form of an enquiry. The present thesis aims to examine in detail this narrative technique as practised by Thierry Beinstingel, Emmanuel Carrère et Jean Rolin. The way they use it could help to understand and identify the aesthetic qualities and purposes of this emerging narrative mode. In these stories, the narrator feels his own thoughts as locked inside an authoritarian doxa which he must first overcome to recover his freedom of perception. He can then become involved in the enquiry, which can be understood as a phenomenological way to be aware. He then selects an arbitrary or improbable motif as the goal for his quest, which may be a person, an object, a project, an area, and undertakes to tell the story of his own inquiry. From this starting point, he begins to question the meaning of his existence and to observe himself making sense of, reading, thinking about and reacting to things. Between fiction and nonfiction, these frequently digressive tales often border on novels, essays or investigation journalism. The narrator always looks puzzled, hesitant and does not seem to trust his own approach. Yet in the background we witness the emergence of a dynamic both narrative and introspective through which the narrator becomes an acute observer of the world around him. He follows freely his train of thought through among other things the use of the essay form to drift from an idea to the next, finding new means of expressing the critique of social problems, creating novel ways of building new fictional worlds and perhaps even managing to rebel against the idea that there is no alternative to the world as it exists.
