Au début des années 1880, un grand nombre de traductions malaises de romans chinois émanant de descendants de Chinois (appelés en malais peranakan) parurent aux Indes néerlandaises sous la forme d’ouvrages imprimés. Nous avons choisi d’en étudier deux, parues simultanément pendant les années 1910-1913, à un moment où la communauté chinoise d’Insulinde essayait de repenser son identité culturelle et politique, sous les angles littéraire, philologique, historique et sociologique. Il s’agit de deux traductions complètes du Sanguo yanyi 三国演义, le plus remarquable des romans historiques chinois traitant de la période des Trois Royaumes. Une analyse textuelle, nous a permis de constater que les traducteurs des deux Sam Kok (titre abrégé couramment utilisé en Indonésie pour désigner le « Roman des Trois Royaumes »), qui n’avaient pourtant qu’une éducation chinoise du premier degré et une connaissance du malais en usage dans les milieux urbains de Java, mais une grande volonté, ont réussi à exprimer toutes les valeurs littéraires et culturelles du Sanguo yanyi. Afin d’examiner l’impact des Sam Kok sur communauté chinoise, nous les avons replacés dans leur contexte historique et dans l’ensemble des traductions parues pendant les années 1880-1910. Nous sommes parvenue ainsi à montrer que grâce à ces traductions, et particulièrement celles du « Roman des Trois Royaumes », les peranakan ont pu obtenir une certaine compréhension de l’histoire et de la culture du pays de leurs ancêtres, lesquelles constituaient aussi une partie de leur passé. / In the early 1880s, the descendants of Chinese immigrants (called Peranakan in Malay) achieved and printed a large number of Malay translations of Chinese novel in the Dutch Indies. We chose to study two translations published simultaneously during the years 1910-1913 when the Chinese community of Insular Southeast Asia was trying to rethink its cultural and political identity from the literary, philological, historical and sociological angles. The research is about two complete translations of the Sanguo yanyi 三国演义, the most remarkable Chinese historical novels that depict the period of Three Kingdoms. Through textual analysis, we found that although the translators of two Sam Kok (abbreviated title commonly used in Indonesia to refer to the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”) had some rudimentary Chinese education and knowledge of the language Malay used in the urban areas of Java, they exhibited a great willingness to express all the literary and cultural values of the novel Sanguo yanyi. In order to examine the impact of Sam Kok on the Chinese community, we have put them in their historical context and compare them with other Malay translations published during 1880-1910. Consequently, we are able to assert that, through those translations, especially those of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the peranakan have acquired some understanding of the history and culture of their ancestral country, which also constituted their past.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to an increased awareness of how students perceive the subject of history and how they approach the subject of increasing their awareness, through meeting historical characters in novels and film. I am seeking the answer to what opinions students have about studying history, what experiences they have of novels and film as a means to teaching the subject and how they look at material that give life to the thoughts and feelings of historical people, aiming to increase historical awareness. The study is based on qualitative interviews with 15 students in secondary school, The interviews are based on open questions and originate from sociocultural perspective, with its base in phenomenology. The result indicates that students perceive that studying the subject is mainly about historical facts. Several students, and especially students with Swedish as a second language and students with language difficulties, mention that the subject is linguistically difficult, with hard to understand words and phrases. This seems to obstruct an increased awareness of history. The teachers role is considered important. Their capability to interact, explain and clarify is important to bring the subject alive. Students can see the benefits of novels and film to increase historical awareness and many wish for more of that kind of tuition to increase interest and perception. However, many find it difficult to see how this will fit in the time schedule. / Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med ett ökat medvetande angående elevers upplevelser av ämnet historia och om hur de ser på att öka sitt historiemedvetande genom mötet med gestaltande stoff via film och skönlitteratur. Frågorna jag söker svar på är vilka uppfattningar elever på grundskolans senare år har om ämnet historia, vilka erfarenheter de har om skönlitteratur och film i undervisningen, samt hur de resonerar om att använda skönlitteratur och film som en väg mot ett ökat historiemedvetande. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med 15 elever från grundskolans senare år. Intervjuerna bygger på öppna frågor och utgår från sociokulturellt perspektiv samt med en fenomenologisk ansats. Resultatet visar att eleverna upplever att historieämnet främst handlar om faktakunskaper. Flertalet elever, och då särskilt elever med svenska som andraspråk samt elever med språkliga svårigheter, lyfter fram att ämnet är språkmässigt svårt med många ord och begrepp, vilket verkar försvåra vägen mot ett ökat historiemedvetande. Lärarnas roll anses viktig och då främst genom interaktion med eleverna för att förklara och förtydliga men även som den som berättar och levandegör innehållet. Elevernas tankar om skönlitteratur och film som ett medel för att nå ett ökat historiemedvetande är splittrade och även om de flesta kan se fördelen med fiktiva berättelser samt att många önskar mer av den typen av undervisning för att öka intresset och förståelsen, har de svårt att se hur det ska hinnas med.

Esta tese tem a preocupação de examinar as diferenças e similaridades entre as Novelas amorosas y ejemplares (1637) e sua segunda parte, Desengaños amorosos (1647). Também busca elucidar a conexão entre os inflamados discursos que denunciam os constructos culturais que sustentam a superioridade do homem e a inferioridade da mulher e o trágico fim das personagens femininas de Desengaños amorosos. Ainda, analisar como se organiza e apresenta a defesa da mulher, traço marcante das coletâneas, que foi discutida pela crítica do século XX a partir das diretrizes do feminismo. Apoiando-se nos tratados de arte poética vigentes no século XVII, nos tratados de conduta, nas doutrinas filosóficas, políticas e religiosas que norteavam as práticas sociais e as artes do período, esta pesquisa mostra os aspectos que distinguem e, concomitantemente, unem as duas coletâneas. Com este suporte, distingue a função dos discursos de moldura e dos contos, assinalando sua coerência. Além disso, demonstra que a defesa da mulher se expressa por meio do elogio à virtude e o vitupério dos vícios, de acordo com os padrões éticos e religiosos da Contra Reforma, mas também em consonância com as reivindicações das mulheres da Espanha seiscentista. Mediante a análise da moldura e de dois contos de cada coletânea, a tese faz notar a complexa organização estrutural da obra ao indicar como o significado de cada conto se enriquece quando perfilado aos demais de sua coletânea e, sucessivamente, quando se somam Novelas e Desengaños. Tal disposição revela que a obra de Zayas segue um projeto de unidade. Seu cuidadoso planejamento e diligente execução tornam patente que a escritora compete com a invenção de seus contemporâneos, com vistas a granjear a autorização da escrita feminina e o consecutivo ingresso da mulher no círculo dos autores profissionais. Confirmando as freqüentes denúncias de Zayas sobre a depreciação da mulher nas belas letras da primeira metade do século XVII, a tese propõe que a contista faz de sua obra uma réplica ao difundido modelo das pícaras, celestinas e cortesãs. Conseqüentemente, ao representar mulheres que são exemplo de virtude e homens que são motivo de desengano, por causa de seus vícios, a engenhosa autora inverte os paradigmas e incita o leitor a rejeitar a generalizada difamação da mulher, apresentando-lhe persuasivas razões para respeitá-la e dignificá-la. / This paper focuses on the examination of the differences and similarities existing in Novelas amorosas y ejemplares (1637) and its second part, Desengaños amorosos (1647). It also tries to illuminate the connection between the heated arguments that denounce the cultural conventions supporting mans superiority, womans inferiority, and the tragic end of the female characters in Desengaños amorosos. Moreover, it analyzes how the defense of the woman is organized and presented, such defense is a remarkable trait of the collections of writings that had been discussed by the 20th. Century critics, bearing in mind the feminist conductress. Supported on the treatises about ars poetica present in the 17th. Century, on the treatises about behavior, on the philosophical, political and religious doctrines that guided the social practices and the arts of such period, this research shows the aspects that distinguish and, at the same time, join both collections. With this support, it highlights the function of the frame speeches and tales, emphasizing its coherence. Besides, it shows that the defense of the woman is expressed by means of praise to virtue and invective against vices, according to the ethical and religious patterns of the Counter-Reformation, but also relating to the 17th. Century Spanish womens demands. By means of the analysis of the frame and of two short novels of each collection, this paper brings to mind the complex structural organization of the work, while showing how the meaning of each short tale is enriched when it is placed alongside the other stories of its collection and successively, when Novelas and Desengaños are added to. Such organization reveals that the works by Zayas follow a project of unit. Her careful planning and attentive execution makes it clear that the writer competes against the invention of her contemporaries, aiming to receive the authorization of the womens writing and the consequent admission of the woman in the circle of professional authors. Confirming Zayas frequent accusation against womens detraction in the belles-lettres of the 17th. Century first half, the thesis proposes that the short-story writer makes up her own work as a response to the widespread model of female picaroons, celestinas (panderesses) and courtesans. As a consequence, when representing women who are examples of virtue and men who are a reason for disillusion because of their faults, the ingenious writer inverts the paradigms and encourages the reader to reject the generalized slander against women, presenting persuasive reasons for respecting and dignifying them.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contextualizar a novela exemplar \"Rinconete y Cortadillo\" no conjunto da obra de Miguel de Cervantes, bem como analisá-la estabelecendo o diálogo com alguns gêneros literários de sua época, como a picaresca e o teatro. Será examinada a trajetória do texto desde sua menção no Dom Quixote de 1605 até a sua publicação entre as Novelas Exemplares em 1613. Serão estudados os diversos discursos presentes na composição da obra, considerada a grande aproximação de Cervantes à literatura picaresca. Ao incorporar elementos do gênero dramático à narrativa, o autor realiza, com comicidade, uma interessante aproximação aos temas cotidianos, assim como a comédia o fazia. Será possível observar como \"Rinconete y Cortadillo\" expõe, de maneira cômica e satírica, algumas máculas e vícios da sociedade sevilhana dos séculos XVI e XVII. / The objective of this work is to contextualize Rinconete y Cortadillo exemplary novel within the works of Miguel de Cervantes and analyze it by establishing a dialogue with some of the literary genres of its time, namely the picaresque novel and drama. This current dissertation examines how the text evolves since it was first mentioned in Don Quixote (1605) until its publication among the Exemplary Novels in 1613. I will analyze the several forms of speech pervading the novel in light of Cervantes propinquity to the picaresque literature .By incorporating into the narrative drama-related elements, the author brings his work to deal more closely with everyday topics, as comedy has been used to. Thereby one can notice how Rinconete y Cortadillo displays, both comically and satirically, certain vices and blemishes present in the 16th- and 17thcentury Sevillan society.

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Région Aquitaine - INRIA : ITIPY. Ce projet vise à terme l’extraction automatique d’itinéraires à partir de récits de voyage du XIX ème et du début du XX ème siècle. Notre premier travail fut de caractériser le corpus comme échantillon du français, par une étude contrastive d’une part de données quantitatives et d’autre part de la structure des récits de voyage. Nous nous sommes ensuite consacrée à l’étude du temps, et plus particulièrement à l’analyse automatique de la sémantique des temps verbaux du français. Disposant d’un analyseur syntaxique et sémantique à large échelle du français, basé sur les grammaires catégorielles et la sémantique compositionnelle (λ-DRT), notre tâche a été de prendre en compte les temps des verbes pour reconstituer la temporalité des événements et des états, notions regroupées sous le termes d’éventualité. Cette thèse se concentre sur la construction d’un lexique sémantique traitant des temps verbaux du français. Nous proposons une extension et une adaptation d’un système d’opérateurs compositionnels conçu pour les temps du verbe anglais, aux temps et à l’aspect du verbe français du XIX ème siècle à nos jours. Cette formalisation est de facto opérationnelle, car elle est définie en terme d’opérateurs du λ-calcul dont la composition et la réduction, déjà programmées, calculent automatiquement les représentations sémantiques souhaitées, des formules multisortes de la logique d’ordre supérieur. Le passage de l’énoncé comportant une éventualité seule au discours, dont le maillage référentiel est complexe, est discuté et nous concluons par les perspectives qu’ouvre nos travaux pour l’analyse du discours. / This work has been lead in the frame of the ITIPY project which goal was to automatically extract itineraries from travel novels from the XIX th century and from the beginning of the XX th. Our thesis work is close to the text understanding task in the information retrieval field and we aim at building a representation of meaning of linguistic utterances, leaning on the compositionnality principle. More precisely, the itinerary extraction supposes to temporally represent displacement and localization events or states (that we actually call eventualities) of a traveler as far as we understand it through discourse. Working on an automatic parser for syntax (in categorial grammars) and semantics (in λ-DRT), we focused on the building of an semantic lexicon for tense in French. We actually characterized our corpora as a sample of French language, by the means of a quantitative and qualitative analysis as well as a study of the internal structure of this genre. The main contribution of this work deals with tense and aspect semantic processing of the event expressed by tensed verbs, and with its modelling. In this respect, we propose an adaptation and an extension for French from XIX th century to nowadays of a lexicon originally produced to deal with English verbs. This formalisation is operational, for it is defined in λ-calculus which composition and réduction, already implemented, calculate automatically semantics représentations, high order logic formulas. Transition from a single event uterrance to a whole discourse which contains a complex referential network is discussed and allows us to define the limits of this hereby work.

La fin du XXe siècle et le début du XXIe siècle ont vu renaître le débat sur les rapports entre l’histoire et la littérature, entendue comme fiction, dans le sens d'un effacement des frontières entre les deux. Partant de ce postulat, notre étude, à la croisée de ces deux notions, a pour objectif de montrer les liens qui existent entre l’histoire centraméricaine contemporaine et la fiction dans les romans de l’auteur honduro-salvadorien Horacio Castellanos Moya. En effet, l’histoire de plusieurs pays d’Amérique centrale, marquée par des années de dictature, de guerres civiles et de violences politiques ou économiques, a eu un impact considérable sur de nombreux auteurs de la région. L’œuvre fictionnelle de Horacio Castellanos Moya en porte des traces évidentes. Pour les déceler, comprendre leurs enjeux et la manière dont elles figurent dans les romans, l’étude a été divisée en trois grandes parties. La première traite les données biographiques de Horacio Castellanos Moya en tant qu’homme et écrivain ; la deuxième, des principaux faits historiques thématisés et la dernière de leur mise en scène dans l’œuvre. / The late twentieth century and early twenty-first century have seen revived the debate about the relationship between history and literature, understood as fiction, in the sense of a blurring of boundaries between the two. Based on this premise, our study at the crossroads of these two concepts aims to show the links between contemporary Central American history and fiction in novels of Honduras-Salvadoran author Horacio Castellanos Moya. Indeed, the history of several Central American countries, marked by years of dictatorship, civil wars and political or economic violence has had a significant impact on many local authors. The fictional work of Horacio Castellanos Moya bears evident traces. To identify, understand their issues and how they appear in the novels, the study was divided into three main parts. The first deals with the biographical data Horacio Castellanos Moya as man and writer; the second, the main historical facts themed and the last of their stage in the work.

Charles Bukowski devoted his writing career to turning his own life into poetry and prose. In poems and stories about his experiences as one of the working poor in post war America, and in those depicting his experiences as a writer of the American underground, Bukowski represents himself as both a literary and social outsider. Bukowski expresses an alternative literary aesthetic through his fictional persona, Henry Chinaski, who struggles to overcome his suffering in a world he finds absurd, and who embarks on a quest for freedom in his youth to which he remains committed all his life. This thesis examines Charles Bukowski's autobiographical fiction with a specific emphasis on five novels and one collection of short stories. In the novels, Post Office (1970), Factotum (1975), Women (1978), Ham on Rye (1982) and Hollywood (1989), and in a number of short stories in the collection Hot Water Music (1983), Bukowski explores different periods of Chinaski???s life with a dark humour, revealing links between Chinaski???s struggle with the absurd and those aspects comprising Bukowski???s alternative aesthetic. The thesis focuses on such aspects of Bukowski???s art as the uncommercial nature of his publishing history, his strong emphasis on literary simplicity, the appearance of the grotesque and Bukowski???s obsession with nonconformity, drinking and sex. These aspects illuminate the distinctive nature of Bukowski???s art and its purpose, which is the transformation of an ordinary life into literature. This thesis argues that Bukowski illuminates possibilities that exist for individuals to create an identity for themselves through aesthetic self-expression. The thesis traces the development of Chinaski's non-conformist personality from Ham on Rye, based on Bukowski's youth in Los Angeles during the Depression, to Hollywood, Bukowski's ironic portrayal of Chinaski's brush with the commercial film industry. Through meeting the many challenges he faced throughout his life with defiance, honesty and an irreverent sense of humour, Bukowski invites readers to identify with his alternative world view. The thesis argues this particular aspect of his writing constitutes his most valuable contribution to twentieth century American fiction.

台灣少年小說的起步相較歐美各國遲緩，晚至1960年代才出現首批本土少年小說單行本，1990年代質量均佳的作品相繼出版，少年小說才深獲肯定。本研究旨在探討1960到2010年台灣地區少年小說出版發展的歷程，以及影響台灣少年小說出版發展的重要事件與因素，並且進一步探析少年小說書目歷年成長的變化情形。 本研究以歷史研究法為主，根據文獻史料分析，台灣地區少年小說出版發展可區分為四個階段：1960－1973年孕育萌芽期；1974－1987年成長茁壯期；1988－1996年交流拓展期；1997年迄今蓬勃發展期。台灣少年小說的出版發展與政治開放、經濟繁榮、社會多元化以及文化與教育水準的提升等社會變遷有密切的關係。最後挑選出台灣少年小說出版歷程中具有指標性意義的16件大事。 本研究兼採書目計量法，對台灣地區出版的少年小說創作出版品之出版年代、出版社、作者等書目資料進行統計分析，以供未來相關研究參考之用。研究結果歸納：(1)台灣少年小說出版量在1990年代急速成長；(2)1990年代以來大陸少年小說作品數呈現穩定的成長；(3)前十名重要的少年小說出版社：依序為九歌、文房、民生報社、幼獅、小魯、福地、小兵、台灣省政府教育廳、富春以及聯經出版社；(4)前五名重要的大陸少年小說出版社：依序為民生報社、九歌、聯經、風雲時代、小魯以及麥田出版社；(5)前十三名重要的少年小說作者：依序為李潼、沈石溪、管家琪、郭妮、李光福、溫小平、張之路、曹文軒、李淑真、黃海、鄭宗弦、周姚萍以及張友漁；(6)前六名重要的大陸少年小說作者：依序為沈石溪、郭妮、張之路、曹文軒、周銳以及秦文君；(7)少年小說作者生產力與80/20 定律驗證並不相符；(8)台灣少年小說出版發展歷程與出版年代的書目成長變化二者可相互呼應。 綜合研究結果，歸納建議：(1)對兒童書目資料庫的建議：早日成立一座國家兒童圖書館，專門負責建置兒童讀物書目資料庫；(2)對兒童圖書編目的建議：應將少年小說與故事書分開獨立編目，便於兒和童少年選讀適合自己的作品；(3)對出版社的建議：應採計畫出版；鼓勵作家展現本土風情的創作，培植寫作新秀；創作和翻譯作品並重，既可觀摩優秀作品又可滿足讀者需求；(4)對作者的建議：多閱讀優良中外少年小說作品，拓展國際視野；從歷史鄉土中尋找題材，持續不斷磨練寫作技巧，提升作品的品質；(5)對圖書館的建議：圖書館應竭盡所能搜羅優良的本土少年小說作品，並且定期舉辦閱讀推廣活動；(6)對相關研究者的建議：研究結果可供兒童文學界、出版社或圖書資訊服務單位作為參考。 / The start of Taiwan juvenile novels was comparably slower than European and American countries. It was as late as the 1960s when the first batch of local single-volume juvenile novels came out. Juvenile novels started to gain recognition until the 1990s when novels of high quality and high volume have been published. The study aims to discuss the process of publishing development for Taiwan juvenile novels between 1960 and 2010, and the important events and influence factors of the publishing development in Taiwan juvenile novels. The study further analyzed the changes in the growth of bibliography for juvenile novels over the years. The study is based on historical research. According to literature review and historical data, the development of Taiwan juvenile novel publication is divided into four periods: Nurturing Period from 1960-1973. Growing Period from 1974-1987. Exchange and Expansion Period from 1988-1996. Booming Period from 1997-current. The publishing development of Taiwan juvenile novels is closely related to the social changes in political opening, economic prosperity, social diversity, and enhancement in the cultural and educational level of the overall environment. The resercher Picked up 16 major events with indicators of significance in the developing process of publication in Taiwan juvenile novels. The study also employs Bibliometrics to conduct statistical analysis on bibliographical data including the year of publication, publisher and authors of juvenile novels published in Taiwan. The result will be used for reference in related studies in the future and is inferred below: 1.The amount of publication for Taiwan juvenile novels showed rapid growth in the 1990s. 2.The number of Chinese juvenile novels appeared in steady growth since 1990. 3.The top ten important juvenile novel publishers include the followings: namely Chiuko, Winfortune Co., Ltd. , Min Sheng Newspaper, Youth, Tien-Wei Publishing Company, Winfortune Co., Ltd., Xiaobin Publishing Company, The Department of Education, Taiwan Provincial Government, Fu Chun Publishing Company Limited, and Linking Books. 4.The top five important Chinese juvenile novel publishers include the followings: namely Min Sheng Newspaper, Chiuko, Linking Books, Storm and Stress Publishing, Tien-Wei Publishing Company, and Rye Field Publishing Company. 5.Top ten important juvenile novelists include the followings: namely Tong Li, Shixi Sheng, Jiaqi Guang, Ni Guo, Guangfu Li, Xiaoping Wen, Zhilu Zhang, Wenxuen Cao, Shuzhen Li, Hai Huang, Zhongxuen Zheng, Yaoping Zhou, and Youyu Zhang. 6.Top ten important Chinese juvenile novelists include the followings: Shixi Sheng, Ni Guo, Zhilu Zhang, Wenxuen Cao, Rui Zhou, and Wenjun Tai. 7.80/20 Rule is inapplicable to the distribution of juvenile novelists’ productivity. 8.The process of publication in Taiwan juvenile novels correspond with the changes in growth for the year of publication in bibliography. The proposed guidelines are summarized as follows. 1.Recommendation for children’s bibliographical database： Establish a national children’s library soon possible which bears the major responsibility of building the bibliographical database for children’s books. 2.Recommendation for children’s library cataloguing： Juvenile novels and story books are recommended for separate and independent cataloguing so that children and youths could select the books suitable for their own reading requirement. 3.Recommendations for publishers: Publication should be planned and authors are encouraged to exhibit the creativity of local style while incubating the new talents in writing. Emphasize both on creativity and translated works that could offer observation of excellent works as well as satisfying reader needs. 4.Recommendations for authors： Read more excellent Chinese or foreign juvenile novels, expand international horizon, search for materials from history of localness, continue to discipline on writing skills, and improve work quality. 5.Recommendation for libraries：Libraries should do the best they could to collect outstanding local juvenile novels and hold reading promotional activities on a regular basis. 6.Recommendations for relevant researchers： The research results could be offered as reference to children’s literary circle, publishing companies or library information service units.
