Ce travail, qui entend rompre avec une vision assez intuitive de "l'effet du Coup de dés" au XXe siècle, cherche à établir son "archive", selon une double perspective : celle de l'archivistique d'une part, qui passe par un recensement des références positives au poème, entre 1897 et 2007, principalement dans le domaine français ; celle de l'archéologie d'autre part, qui implique une tentative d'interprétation des interprétations. Après un panorama de la réception immédiate, nous décrivons le processus d'institutionnalisation progressive du texte, à travers les différents "discours" qui ont pu être tenu (première partie). Puis, afin d'illustrer la dimension polymorphe de cette réception, nous évoquons les différentes transpositions du poème en dehors du domaine poétique : mises en images, mises en scène, mises en musique, mises en concept, mises en page. Il s'agit alors de décrire des "pratiques", qui ont la particularité d'éclairer le poème, tout en étant éclairées par lui. Nous esquissons ensuite l'héritage proprement littéraire du Coup de dés – les reprises formelles – en posant la question du genre (deuxième partie). Cette recherche s'achève sur un bilan critique dégageant les grands conflits d'interprétation, tout en montrant la double dimension du texte, à la fois aporétique et épiphanique. / This work, which intends to break with a fairly intuitive vision "effect of Un Coup de dés" in the twentieth century, seeks to establish his "archive", according to a dual perspective : that of “archivistic” on the one hand, which leeds us to identify positive references to the poem, between 1897 and 2007, mainly in french, that of the “archaeology” on the other hand, which involves the interpretations’ interpretations. After an overview of the immediate reception, we describe the gradual process of text institutionalization, through the various "speech" that have been held (first part). Then, to illustrate the multifaceted dimension of this reception, this work deals with differents transpositions of the poem outside the realm of poetry : image, stage, music, theory, and philosophy. We describe then "practices", which have shed light on the particularity of the poem, while being informed by him. Before concluding, we outline the proper literary legacy of Un Coup de dés - the formal rewrites - by addressing the query of genre (second part). The research concludes with a critical assessment highlighting the major interpretation’s conflicts, while showing the double dimension of the text, both aporetical and epiphanic.

Nas primeiras décadas do século XX, em um contexto cultural caracterizado por experimentações, redefinições e rupturas, no qual se desenvolveram as chamadas vanguardas artísticas européias, arquitetura, cidade e cinema estabeleceram entre si diferentes formas de interlocução, inclusive a criação de arquiteturas e cidades destinadas exclusivamente para os filmes. Estreitamente vinculadas às problemáticas de seu tempo, estas arquiteturas e cidades ficcionais dialogaram diretamente com as experimentações realizadas no âmbito artístico e arquitetônico das vanguardas, além de configurarem um veículo direto de comunicação com o público de massas. A partir de três filmes produzidos no cinema europeu do período entreguerras - Aelita (Yakov Protazanov, URSS, 1924), Metropolis (Fritz Lang, Alemanha, 1927) e Things to Come (Daqui a Cem Anos, William Cameron Menzies, Inglaterra, 1936) - este trabalho analisa estas arquiteturas e cidades cinematográficas, seus processos de concepção, produção e difusão, assim como suas interlocuções com o contexto cultural vigente. Através de artifícios intrínsecos à linguagem e à narrativa cinematográficas, estas obras incorporam em suas visões de cidade muitos dos aspectos da metrópole do início do século XX, assim como das propostas arquitetônicas e urbanísticas desenvolvidas naquele período, configurando espaços de problematização e articulação de idéias, tratando de questões como: a vida na metrópole e as ambigüidades e contradições impostas ao habitante metropolitano; as novas tecnologias, e as formas como estas impactavam o cotidiano e incitavam a imaginação; as experimentações formais das vanguardas artísticas e a busca pela superação dos limites entre arte e vida; as novas concepções de arquiteturas e cidades, e seu intuito de criar novas lógicas de organização espacial e urbana, que poderiam contribuir para a criação de um novo homem e uma nova sociedade. / In the first decades of the twentieth century, in the cultural context of the European Avant Gardes, architecture, city and cinema had established between themselves different forms of dialogue, including the creation of fictional architectures and cities destined exclusively for the films. Through the analysis of three films - Aelita (Yakov Protazanov, USSR, 1924), Metropolis (Fritz Lang, Germany, 1927) and Things to Come (William Cameron Menzies, 1936), this work seeks to identify the ways that these cinematographic architectures and cities, developed for the European cinema in the interwar period, had reflected, reformulated and released for the masses such issues as: the life in the metropolis and the ambiguities and contradictions imposed to the metropolitan inhabitant; the new technologies, and the ways they impacted the daily lives and incited the imagination; the formal experimentations of the avant-gardes and the pursuit of overcoming the boundaries between art and life; the new conceptions of architectures and cities, and its intention to create new logics of space and urban organizations, which could contribute to the creation of a new man and a new society.

La garde républicaine, entre 1871 et 1914, corps de gendarmerie atypique, constitue une unité militaire mixte, regroupant des formations à cheval et d’autres à pied, dont le service essentiel est municipal. Les objectifs de cette thèse sont de préciser sa filiation avec les unités qui l’ont précédée, de définir ses spécificités en terme d’organisation, de fonctionnement et d’infrastructures, de décrypter et de disséquer son service intérieur et municipal afin de le confronter à celui des autres régiments de l’armée et légions de gendarmerie, de situer la place de ces « gardiens de la cité » au sein de la gendarmerie de l’époque et de la comparer à celle tenue par notre actuelle garde républicaine.En trois parties, cette thèse détaille successivement :- les composantes de la garde, infanterie et cavalerie, son organisation régimentaire et son administration, ses différents rouages et sa composition, son recrutement, sa symbolique et ses uniformes ;- sa vie quotidienne, sa formation militaire et municipale, ses casernes, sa discipline ;- la police de la voie publique à Paris et les forces qui l’assurent, l’influence du préfet de police sur la garde, ses différents services, son utilisation au maintien et au rétablissement de l’ordre.L’hypothèse de travail est de constater à quel point la garde républicaine de la Belle Époque diffère de l’actuelle garde, si proche d’elle par ses silhouettes, ses représentations, ses traditions, son implantation, si éloignée par son unique vocation de garde présidentielle, protectrice des institutions de la République. / The Republican Guard, between 1871 and 1914, an atypical unit of the French Gendarmerie (military police), is comprised of joint military forces, combining horseback and foot patrols, which is mainly on duty in the city of Paris. The goals of this thesis are to specify its connection to the previously existing units, describe its specific character in terms of organization, operations and infrastructures, to decipher and dissect its domestic and municipal service in order to compare it with that of other French military regiments and Gendarmerie legions, to define the role of these “guardians of the city” within the Gendarmerie of this period and compare it with that of our current Republican Guard.Divided into three parts, this thesis consecutively examines :- the components of the Guard’s infantry and cavalry, its regimental organization and administration, its various inner mechanisms and composition, its recruitment, symbolism and uniforms;- its daily life, military and municipal training, barracks and discipline;- the public roadway police in Paris and the forces which ensure it, the influence of police headquarters on the Guard, its role in maintaining and reestablishing order.The working hypothesis is to show how different the Republican Guard of the Belle Epoque is compared to the current Guard, so similar to it in its shape, performances, traditions, and establishment, so far-removed in its sole purpose of presidential guard, guardian of the French Republic’s establishments.

La notion d’orphisme est née à la veille de la Première Guerre mondiale. Forgée par Guillaume Apollinaire, elle lui sert à désigner l’art nouveau et audacieux de ses amis-peintres, notamment ceux réunis autour de Robert Delaunay. Cependant, dès cette époque, le terme, utilisé de manière imprécise par le poète, pose problème. Depuis, les controverses se multiplient et durant le siècle qui nous sépare de l’invention de ce nom tout ce qui touche à l’orphisme a été remis en cause, jusqu’à son existence même. Prenant position contre cette attitude, nous proposons dans cette thèse d’envisager la production et les conceptions artistiques de l’époque sous un angle nouveau. En nous défaisant des étiquettes traditionnelles de nombreux « -ismes », nous prenons – selon la suggestion d’Apollinaire – le mythe d’Orphée comme un outil permettant de réanalyser l’art du début du XXème siècle. Cette relecture (des parcours des artistes, de leurs sources d’inspiration, des rapports entre différents centres artistiques et acteurs de la scène artistique), ainsi qu’une analyse comparative des œuvres ont pour but de démontrer que ce que nous appelons l’« orphisme » ne fut pas un concept artificiel, appliqué de manière parfaitement arbitraire à la somme des trajectoires – quelques peu accidentelles et indépendantes les unes des autres – de différents artistes, mais plutôt une évolution logique et cohérente, dont l’ampleur et l’impact sur la postérité ne furent jamais appréciés à leur juste valeur. En utilisant le mythe d’Orphée comme fil conducteur structurant notre analyse, nous mettons donc en évidence les grandes lignes de l’évolution du phénomène auquel Apollinaire a donné le nom d’orphisme : les origines et l’interprétation du terme et de la conception mêmes, le contexte historique et artistique de l’apparition et de l’évolution du mouvement, les rapports entre ses différents acteurs, les sources d’inspiration des artistes et enfin une évolution stylistico-chronologique de cette tendance. / The notion of Orphism was born on the eve of the World War II. Forged by Guillaume Apollinaire, it served him to describe a new and bold art of his friends, especially those concentrated around Robert Delaunay. However, the notion was already troublesome back then: ill-defined and unclear, it was used by the poet in a vague way. Since then, the controversies continue to mount and in a century that elapsed since the invention of the notion, everything concerning Orphism is questioned, even its very existence. Contesting this negationist approach, we propose in this thesis to analyze the artistic production and conceptions of this period under a new light. We are distancing ourselves from the traditional labels of “-isms” and we are using the Orpheus myth – as suggested by Apollinaire – as a tool which allows us to reanalyze the art from the beginning of the 20th century. This new analysis – of artists’ career paths, their fascinations, relationships between different artistic centers and between people involved in this avant-garde – and the comparative analysis of artworks serves to prove that what we call Orphism is not an artificial concept, applied in an arbitrary manner to the somewhat accidental and independent career paths of different artists. On the contrary, Orphism is a logical and consistent evolution, whose true importance and impact was never fully appreciated. By using the Orpheus myth as a guiding thread, we are bringing to light the main lines of the evolution of Orphism: the origins and interpretation of the notion and the conception, the historical and artistic context in which the movement was born and was evolving, the relationships between its actors, artists’ inspirations and, last but not least, the stylistic evolution of Orphism over the time.

Entre les décennies 1960 et 1980 émergent les courants de l’« art de la performance », du « happening », du « body art », de l’« art corporel » ou encore de l’« art de l’action », qui désignent les démarches des nombreux plasticiens qui font directement intervenir le corps, souvent leur propre corps, dans leurs travaux. À travers les productions des acteurs qui soutiennent ces courants le corps est fabriqué comme un sujet légitime d’attention et de valeur. La thèse décrit l’émergence de ces courants artistiques pendant la décennie 1970 en soutenant qu’ils peuvent et doivent être interrogés comme des phénomènes sociaux. En effet, jamais auparavant autant d’acteurs des mondes de l’art visuel n’avaient décidé simultanément de se tourner vers le corps lui-même, et de le mettre à l’œuvre, à l’ouvrage, à l’épreuve. Interroger leurs productions du point de vue du corps peut permettre de dérouler de comprendre en profondeur la présence incisive et percutante du phénomène. Ces courants viennent poser des questions cruciales à l’anatomie du travail créateur : rapports sociaux de sexe, interactions avec les spectateurs, engagements politiques, marchandisation. L’étude, sociohistorique, focalise autour de trois scènes (France, côtes est et ouest des États-Unis) à partir d’un corpus d’archives documentaires (entretiens, critiques, essais, manifestes, notations, photographies). La thèse comprend un volet d’enquête qui mesure la reconnaissance de ces pratiques, un second volet d’histoire institutionnelle et intellectuelle qui décrit les savoir-faire et les modalités d’énonciation liés aux actions et aux événements et enfin, une topographie qui résume les modèles du corps produits par les gestes les raisonnements des artistes et de leurs commentateurs. / « Performance art », « body art » and « happenings » appeared on the art scene between the 1960s and the 1980s. The human body was at the heart of these artistic movements, to the extent that many artists embodied their own works. Within such creative processes and productions, the body undeniably became a legitimate subject of attention and value. This dissertation describes the initial stages of the art movements aforementioned, and argues that they must be analyzed as sociological phenomenons. Never before had such a larger of artists within the same time period decided to focus on the entity of the body itself, to use and misuse it so intensely. Observing their approaches through the lens of the body allows us to voice critical questions about the anatomy of a creative work - gender relations, interactions with the viewers, political commitments, and marketing. This sociohistorical research studies three landmark art scenes of the time (France, the east coast, and the west coast of the USA), by delving into a documentary material of archives (interviews, reviews, essays, manifestos, notations and photographs). The thesis begins with a sociological inquiry which measures the visibility of these artistic movements ; it is followed by a history of the institutional and critical apparatus which described the atistic skills and statements at work within body actions and happenings ; lastly, the dissertation presents a topography of the workings of the body, drawn from the artists’ performances and theoretical stances, as well as art critics’ viewpoints and analyses.

Chris Marker é um cineasta que realizou documentários políticos pouco convencionais ao longo de quase sessenta anos de carreira. Depois de uma militância ativa e inserida no coração de acontecimentos cruciais na França e na Europa, e de uma carreira literária como editor, ensaísta e romancista, natural que seus filmes, vistos isoladamente, provoquem as mais equivocadas interpretações. Esta pesquisa procura, através de um levantamento de seus filmes e escritos, dos debates que foram se travando sobre a vida nacional francesa e mundial, sempre retomando os fios dos acontecimentos decisivos do período do Front Populaire (1936), da ocupação da França pelos nazistas e das lutas de Resistência buscar uma interpretação para muitos dos aspectos aparentemente desconcertantes de sua filmografia. Ao longo dos capítulos a pesquisa aborda, a partir de documentação esparsa em textos, declarações, debates, frases de filmes, os elementos biográficos \"enigmáticos\" de que se tem conhecimento, dada a discrição do cineasta sobre a sua pessoa. Em seguida o momento crucial da entrada de Marker, com 16 anos, no liceu em Paris e turbulências do ano de 1936, na França, discorre sobre o Front Populaire. Depois foca o nascimento de uma corrente, da qual Chris Marker participa, influenciada pela filosofia personalista de Emmanuel Mounier; e depois sua passagem pela revista Esprit e posteriormente a sua integração nas lutas da Resistência. Seguindo os passos do futuro cineasta, aborda o impacto da Resistência na vida militante e a formação dos cineclubes no meio operário com a Associação Peuple et Culture. Toda esta trajetória é permeada por comentários e análises de cenas dos futuros documentários. Por fim a pesquisa, aborda a problemática do cinema militante, analisando L\'ambassade (1973), filme de solidariedade com a Unidade Popular chilena e contra o golpe de Pinochet e o curta sobre o editor François Maspero. Os últimos percalços de nosso percurso busca construir um debate sobre A. Medvedkine e V. Maiakóvsky e a profanação da arte moderna, procurando investigar como na obra de Chris Marker coincidem cinema militante, cinema experimental, cinema ensaio e cinema documentário. / Chris Marker is an intriguing filmmaker who produced unconventional political documentaries over almost sixty years. After an active militancy, and inserted in the heart of crucial events in France and Europe, and working on a literary career as an editor, essayist and novelist, it is natural that his films, viewed in isolation, could cause the most equivocal interpretations. This research seeks, through a detailed analyses of his films and writings, to work with the debates that were important on the French national and global life of his time. Always thinking about the decisive events of the Front Populaire in the period (1936), the occupation of France by the German Nazis and the participation of Marker in the struggles of the Resistance. All of this puzzeled elements seek an interpretation for many of the seemingly confusing aspects of his filmography. Throughout the chapters of this research, we seek to approach, with this documentation, texts, statements, debates, films phrases, the enigmatic biographical elements of his uncanny formation. Marker is known by the discretion about himself. Working on his years of youth and formation, we see that when aged 16, in high school in Paris and the 1936 year in France, discussing at length the Front Populaire, we seek to work about Chris Marker influence by the personalist philosophy of Emmanuel Mounier and then by Esprit and later in it\'s integration in the struggles of resistance. Following in the footsteps of the filmmaker, this work discusses the impact of this years in his militant life, including the training of workers film clubs. All this history is permeated by scenes and debates of his future documentaries. Finally, the research addresses the issue of militant cinema, analyzing L\'ambassade (1973), the solidarity with the Chilean Popular Unity and the struggle against the totalitarian latin american dictatorships, and a short film-portrait of the editor Maspero. We end our research with a debate on A. Medvedkine and V. Mayakovsky and the profanation of modern art, trying to investigate how the work of Chris Marker coincide with militant cinema, experimental cinema, film essay and documentary cinema.

Esta dissertação procura interpretar a obra dos poetas contemporâneos brasileiros Roberto Piva e Claudio Willer tendo em vista a tradição que invocam em suas produções, a qual aponta para as matrizes teóricas do romantismo e se desenvolve na modernidade sendo radicalizada pelas vanguardas históricas, pelo surrealismo e pela geração beat. O texto se foca na relação entre poesia e práxis vital no intuito de ressaltar como os poetas aqui estudados elaboram uma poética ao mesmo tempo em que negam tal intento. / This dissertation seeks to interpret the work of the contemporary Brazilian poets Roberto Piva and Claudio Willer in view of the tradition that they invoke in their productions, which points to the theoretical frameworks of romanticism and it is developed throughout modernity being radicalized by historical avant-gardes, surrealism and beat generation. The text focuses on the relation between poetry and vital praxis to highlight how the poets studied here develop a poetic while at the same time deny such intent.
