This thesis is concerned with Freud, Lacan and Faulkner's explorations of psychology and language, regarded as differential versions of common concerns. In the first part, using aspects of the Freudian concept of the unconscious, and reading Faulkner's stream-of-consciousness narrative in The Sound and the Fury, we find that Faulkner seeks to convey the flow of the unconscious. In the second part, we see that Lacan reads Freud through Saussure's linguistics, and renews Freudian psychoanalysis with the Lacanian concept of an unconscious structured like a language. Beyond Freud, with reference to these Lacanian notions, we find that Faulkner produces a narrative structured like a language. In the third part, through the application of Lacanian theories of narration to literary theories, and through a Barthes-inspired comparison of Faulkner's novel with Lu Xun's short story "A Madman's Diary", we see that while Lu Xun gives his readers a world of meaning, Faulkner shows them the world of the word without any meaning by creating a new narrative strategy.

Cette étude a été réalisée dans la région du détroit de Fury et Hecla (Nunavut), entre la péninsule de Melville et le nord-ouest de l’Ile de Baffin. L’analyse de carottes de sédiments de lacs situés sur la rive sud du détroit nous a permis de reconstituer l’histoire environnementale régionale depuis la dernière déglaciation. Les enregistrements biostratigraphiques et géochimiques témoignent tout d’abord d’un retrait glaciaire accompagné d’une transgression marine à partir de 8200 années cal. BP, suivant l’ablation graduelle du dôme de Foxe lors de l’optimum climatique de l’Holocène. Au cours de cette période, la connexion entre les océans Atlantique et Pacifique se serait établie et le relèvement glacio-isostatique en cours aurait initié l’isolement progressif des bassins lacustres de l’influence marine. Des analyses multivariées appliquées aux données biologiques et géochimiques nous indiquent également que les conditions climatiques chaudes se seraient maintenues entre 6000 et 3900 années cal. BP, avant que la région ne plonge dans un épisode de refroidissement associé au Néoglaciaire, tel que reflété par une diminution de la biomasse et une augmentation de l’oxygénation des bassins. Plus encore, en tenant compte des datations au 14C des unités d’isolement et de l’altitude actuelle des deux lacs, cette étude propose un modèle de relèvement glacio-isostatique régional et suggère une nouvelle limite marine ayant atteint 204 m au nord-est de la Péninsule de Melville suivant la déglaciation. / This study was conducted in the Fury and Hecla Strait region (Nunavut), between Melville Peninsula and northwestern Baffin Island. Sedimentological records of two lakes located on the southern shore of the strait allowed us to reconstruct the regional environmental history since deglaciation. Biostratigraphic and geochemical profiles initially reveal a regional deglaciation and marine transgression around 8200 cal. yr BP, following the gradual breakup of the Foxe Ice Dome during the Holocene Thermal Optimum. At that time, the connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans must have been established and the glacial isostatic adjustment gradually isolated the lacustrine basins from marine influence. Multivariate analyses conducted on the biological and geochemical datasets indicate that climatic conditions remained relatively warm throughout the 6000-3900 cal. yr BP interval, before significantly cooling during the Neoglacial period, as inferred from a decrease in biomass and increase in bottom water oxygenation. Moreover, based on the 14C-dated isolation contacts and threshold elevations of the two lakes, this study proposes a regional land emergence model and suggests a new marine limit that reached 204 m in northeastern Melville peninsula following deglaciation.

William Faulkner is famous for stating he agrees with Henri Bergson's optimistic philosophy of time, a philosophy that emphasizes human freedom and action precisely as they relate to time. However, many of Faulkner's characters are defined by their stagnant and lethargic personalities which cannot change; these characters are held immobile by an over – identification with the rich history of their mythic, southern past. This paper, through in depth explorations of Faulkner's masterpieces, Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and The Fury seeks to consider human mythmaking as the key to understanding Faulkner's difficult works. This critical approach allows us to better understand these works as conflicts between diachronic (linear or "normal") time and synchronic time (mythological or circular) time or more simply conflicts between the brute, inexorable world of fact and the human, meaning making world that is often a specious undermining of reality and change.

Tesis para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Faulkner’s fiction is pregnant with the uncontrollable forces phenomenon. These forces override human volition and prediction. In The Sound and the Fury the most important expression of these forces is Caddy as a symbol of female sexuality. In this thesis I explore how characters view this phenomenon. These phenomenon is investigated by using Ricoeur’s hermeneutical literary approach

<p>During the 1550s, a warehouse was constructed in Antwerp with funds from both the city government and a private investor. This building, the Tapissierspand, became the global center for selling and distributing tapestries of extraordinary beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, and exorbitant cost. The construction of the building indicates that the very nature of how tapestries were made and purchased was changing in the 1550s. Although Antwerp's fairs had long been convenient locations for agents to find luxury items that might please their wealthy clients, like with many luxury trades, tapestry sales were shifting from strictly commissioned sales to include on spec sales. The Tapissierspand was the ideal place for a dealer to purchase multiple already-made tapestries and load them onto the waiting ships in Antwerp's busy harbor for export and resale abroad. The city's export registers document that thousands of yards of tapestry were shipped this way. </p><p>The regulatory environment in Antwerp was much less strict than in other cities and this permitted freer interactions within guilds and across industries. The city was for this reason a desirable location for craftsmen to work and sell. But because the strict royal ordinances delivered throughout the 1530s and 1540s were frequently uninforced, workers in the industry were forced to find other ways to manage the large risk inherent in the tapestry trade. The development of the Tapissierspand in Antwerp was an effort on the part of merchants and the city to abate risk. The city could continue to entice merchants if it could provide the right opportunities and environment. However, by the sixteenth century, the constant hyper-vigilance the city had experienced throughout the fifteenth century during frequent times of war and financial difficulty shaped the way the city and its occupants viewed business. In a large sense, everything came down to risk, and how to manage it and minimize it. </p><p>At a time of upheaval and mismanagement, survival and financial success through the reduction of risk became of primary importance. Tapestry weaving carried inherent--and large--risks. Raw materials were expensive, and workshops often did not have the capital needed for on spec weaving. The purchase of on spec tapestries without any guarantees of quality or origin was risky for buyers. Thus the Tapissierspand's story is one of people seeking to maximize economic advantage and minimize risk. The Tapissierspand allowed buyers and sellers to minimize risk by facilitating exchange of knowledge, assessment of quality, negotiation of prices and commissions, and extension of credit. </p><p>This dissertation will examine the historical precedents in Antwerp that allowed the Tapissierspand to develop, and the ways in which the Pand functioned to expand trade while reducing risk for both buyers and sellers by reducing the risks inherent in the industry.</p> / Dissertation
