This thesis discusses the theme of homosexuality presented in The Immoralist (1902) by André Gide and in Death in Venice (1912) by Thomas Mann. Evidence of homosexuality in the texts is substantiated in detail and the way in which the theme is approached, including how it fits into the structure of the narratives, is also examined. Given that these texts are quite complex, the resounding message of this theme can only be assessed through consideration of the novellas as whole works of art. Thus, the other major themes from each text are reviewed prior to reaching conclusions about the ‘intended’ message behind each work. This thesis proposes that The Immoralist centres on the search for the authentic self, while Death in Venice concerns the downfall of the artist from the height of dignity and fame. The role of homosexuality as a theme is gauged as it relates to these interpretations.

A obra gideana compõe-se de quatro diálogos “socráticos” em que Gide faz uma defesa da “homossexualidade”, ou melhor, de uma das várias performances dessa: a pederastia, em seu molde clássico/helênico. A fim de lograr em nosso empreendimento, valemo-nos, a um só tempo, da Desconstrução derridiana e dos Estudos Queer. Fez-se aqui uso de questões pontuais da Desconstrução derridiana para os Estudos de Tradução: a desconstrução da matriz logocêntrica dos Estudos de Tradução, a colocação em xeque da “fidelidade” ao “original” e, por fim, a questão da tradução enquanto acontecimento/jogo performático e double bind. Quanto aos Estudos Queer, buscou-se inicialmente certa elucidação acerca de noções básicas: sexualidade, sexo, gênero, orientação sexual, papel social de gênero e identidade de gênero, haja vista serem essas ensejadoras, ainda hoje, de grandes equívocos. Trouxemos ainda à baila um breve histórico dos referidos estudos, bem como alguns conceitos basilares: heteronormatividade, misoginia, homofobia e performatividade de gênero. Por fim, deitamos a pergunta: “Corydon queer?”, a fim de dar a conhecer os poucos trabalhos levados a efeito no que concerne ao “queer em tradução” e, outrossim, contextualizar, não anacrônico, a obra de Gide junto à problemática queer. Devido ao ineditismo da pesquisa, um leque se abre para posteriores trabalhos acerca do “queer em tradução”, bem como acerca do Corydon, quer seja nos Estudos de Tradução, quer seja nos Estudos Literários, quer seja nos Estudos Queer. __________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / In this dissertation, that is original regarding the conjugation of Translation Studies and Queer Studies, we proceeded to an analysis of the translation of the introduction, as well as the first and second parts of the only survivals of the work Corydon (1924), by André Gide, into Brazilian Portuguese: the first one done by Oriente Silveira (1969), and the other by Hamílcar de Garcia (1971). This Gide’s work is composed of four 'socractic' dialogues where Gide makes a defence of 'homosexuality'; in fact, one of its many facets: pederasty, in its classic/Hellenic mode. In order to reach our aims, we used Derrida's Deconstruction and Queer Studies. Punctual issues were brought: a deconstruction of the logocentric matrix of Translation Studies; to question the concept of 'fidelity' to the 'original'; lastly, the issue of translation as event/performance and double bind. Regarding Queer Studies, there was an attempt to clarify certain basic ideas: sexuality, gender, sexual orientation, social gender roles and gender identity, as these are the source of many misunderstandings up to today. Unfortunately, some of these are still found wanting and can provoke debate as, for instance, sexual orientation, these are shown to be indispensable for a better understanding of the intricate lines of Queer Studies, and likewise, of this very dissertation. Next, there was a brief overview of the history of the aforementioned studies, as well as some of its basic concepts: heteronormativity, misogyny, homophobia and gender performativity. Lastly, the question 'Corydon queer?' is asked. Due to the originality of this research, a wide range of possibilities is opened for future researches on “queer in translation” as well as on Corydon, whether in Translations Studies, Literary Studies or Queer Studies.

Face à l’incohérence apparente de la notion d’ironie, cette thèse vise, non à valoriser l’impossibilité de la définir et le protéisme de la notion, mais à construire une définition sur des principes alternatifs : attention aux traits communs plutôt qu’aux variations, aux processus longs qu’à la succession des significations, définition de l’ironie comme acte communicationnel plutôt que comme mécanique formelle. L’ironie, à partir du monde grec, est tenue pour un acte de communication, non réductible à la linguistique pragmatique : comment contrôler la socialisation en contexte dangereux, en se tenant au plus près de l’ennemi ? La résolution de ce problème dans l’échange passe par l’invention de formes, dont certaines, antiphrase en tête, s’autonomisent et deviennent des formes fixes, parmi d’autres, de l’ironie. Je m’efforce ensuite de suivre la façon dont se maintient cette définition non formelle en étant attentif, jusqu’au romantisme d’Iéna, à l’analyse de la communication à l’œuvre dans les réflexions sur l’ironie. L’œuvre fictionnelle d’André Gide, déployant une grande variété de formes d’ironie et habitée par le secret, biographique et sexuel, est relue comme remettant en jeu ce contrôle de la socialisation dangereuse et comme déployant, derrière la notion de collaboration, une réflexion sur la communication littéraire. D’autre part, l’œuvre d’André Gide est ressaisie dans la perspective d’une histoire de l’ironie au dix-neuvième siècle. L’antiphrase n’est alors pas centrale : à la figure de Voltaire s’attache l’idée de raillerie de l’idéal, qui constitue un poids sémantique déterminant l’adaptation des différentes traditions ironiques au cadre français. / Faced with the apparent inconsistency of the notion of irony, this PhD does not suggest to enhance the impossibility of defining the notion or its proteism, but to build a definition on alternative principles: the focus on common features instead of variations, on long term processes instead of the succession of meanings and the definition of irony as an act of communication rather than as a formal mechanic. Irony, ever since the Greek world, appears as an act of communication which cannot be reduced to pragmatic linguistics: how to control socialisation in a dangerous context, in staying as close to the enemy as possible? Solving this problem by exchanging supposes the invention of forms, some of which – first and foremost the antiphrasis – get autonomous and are fixed forms – but among others – of the irony. I then strive to follow the way in with this non formal definition is maintained by paying attention – until Jena romanticism – to the analysis of the communication at work in the reflexions on irony. André Gide’s fictional work displaying a great variety of forms of irony and being imbued with secret, both biographical and sexual, is read as questioning this control of dangerous socialisation and as laying out, beneath the notion of collaboration, a reflexion on literary communication. On the other hand André Gide’s work is reinterpreted in the perspective of a history of irony in the nineteenth century. The antiphrasis is the centre of perception of irony: to the figure of Voltaire is attached to the idea of taunting the ideal, which constitutes a semantic weight conditioning the adaptation of different ironic traditions to the French framework.

Nombreux sont les études consacrées ces dernières années au sujet de la réfutation. La plupart des ces études visent à remettre en lumière la réfutation dans sa structure logico-sémantique. Cette thèse tente par ailleurs à souligner que la réfutation est un art à part entier, au même titre que l’art d’argumenter, étant fondé sur la résistance aux paroles des autres interlocuteurs dans le dialogue théâtral où s’enchaînent les dimensions logique, dialogique, sémantique, rhétorique et pragmatique. L’analyse du texte théâtral nous a permis d’établir que la réfutation, malgré l’évolution sémantique du terme, est associée à la violation de la doxa sociale et son usage à travers les topoï, les figures et preuves du discours dérivé. Elle est également associée à la négation et appuyée par des connecteurs marquant l’opposition entre les points de vue du partenaire du dialogue. Cette étude aimerait donc à contribuer au débat actuel en proposant une piste de recherche dont nous avons la présomption de croire qu’elle est des plus fécondes. / Of the numerous studies devoted in recent years to the study of refutation, most have aimed to shed light on refutation in its logical-semantic structure. This thesis aims to show that refutation is a full-fledged art based, like the art of argumentation, on resistance to the words of other interlocutors in theatrical dialogue, in which the logical, dialogical, semantic, rhetorical and pragmatic dimensions combine. The analysis of theatre texts has allowed us to establish that refutation, in spite of the semantic evolution of the term, is associated with the violation of social doxa and its use via topoï, figures and proofs of derived discourse. It is also associated with negation and is supported by connectors that mark opposition among the points of view of the partners in dialogue. This study seeks to contribute to the current debate by proposing a research path that appears to have borne fruit.

Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 27 février 2023) / Le présent mémoire propose une analyse du personnage dans le roman décadent, figure centrale du récit, afin de montrer comment les auteurs de la décadence ont tenté de renouveler le genre du roman à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle et au début du XXᵉ. À rebours de Joris-Karl Huysmans, Paludes d'André Gide et Monsieur de Phocas de Jean Lorrain présentent des entités poétiques singulières et emblématiques du courant, sur lesquelles le présent mémoire se penche. Les caractéristiques individuelles partagées par des Esseintes, le narrateur de Paludes et le duc de Fréneuse, telles que leur délicatesse, leur pessimisme ou encore leur dégoût de la société, favorisent l'apparition d'un récit de soi centré sur le personnage principal, sa sensibilité et ses réflexions subjectives. Ces dispositions particulières entraînent des conséquences sur le texte. Pour épouser le flux de pensée changeant du personnage qui est également souvent le narrateur du récit, ce dernier adopte, entre autres, une chronologie éclatée, une prose mêlant plusieurs genres ou encore une narration qui se ferme sur elle-même. Ces particularités contribuent à l'édification d'un récit de l'intériorité condamné à se replier sur lui-même et à se retrouver dans un cul-de-sac narratif. Une poétique de l'échec se dégage en effet de l'ensemble des romans de la décadence dont les racines et l'héritage sont également étudiés dans ce mémoire.
