This thesis entitled "Le discours francais sur l'Amerique latine revolutionnaire (1950--1985)" proposes to analyze about thirty texts published in France during the mentioned period in order to extract the primary axis around which the hexagonal representations and discourses which examine Latin America articulate themselves. The corpus gathers chiefly novels and political essays, but it also includes anthropological essays, journalistic commentaries and testimonies. This is a study that relies on the theory of social discourse and on imagology. / This investigation, which perceives itself as an overview of the images elaborated by the French social discourse on Latin America, examines closely the historical moments when there are determinant discursive mutations. Therefore, from 1950 to 1961, a first manner of apprehending the Latin American other is identified. This period was described as a moment of transition during which the French discourse goes from a discursive frame which emphasizes on the theme of nature to a discursive frame which privileges the power relations between social agents. From 1962 to 1974, Latin America becomes for the French writers a geographical region upon which one pours off revolutionary aspirations. The axioms of third worldism, primary discursive formation enhanced by this period, run through the whole of the texts at various degrees. Also, this thesis aims to reveal the figures and spaces which emerge from this whole of contradictory representations. From 1975 to 1985, one witnesses the decomposition of the discursive formations and representations established during the two previous decades. Indeed, several discursive formations during these ten years question not only third worldism and its revolutionary impulses, but also the function of the intellectual. / On a more general basis, this study examines the history of ideas in France from 1950 to 1985. One of its implicit goals is to describe the rules which diversify, give coherence, integrate, exclude, and legitimate a "new" idea in the French social discourse.

This dissertation focuses on a critical approach to Latin-American children's literature, its evolution and its particular issues. It is based on the analysis of Colombian realistic fiction for children and young adults. The aim of this work is to show how Colombian children's literature has established some particular features that make it distinguished in Latin-American children's literature. The methodology is based on literary studies along with specifications of children's literature theory in perspective with the Colombian political and social situation during the twentieth century. The dissertation adresses elements from literary analysis: The narratology (V. Propp, and G. Gennette) the literary criticism (M. Bakhtin, and the concept of ideology) plus cultural studies in Latin America (Á. Rama). The research takes theoretical concepts from children's literature, related to pedagogy (T. Colomer), aesthetics (M. Nikolajeva), ideology (P. Hollindale) and historiography of children's literature in Latin America: A. Rodriguez, 1993, 2010; M. Muñoz, 2009; B. Robledo 1997, 2012 & L. Borrero, 2001. The first part of this dissertation is an analytical approach to the concepts and characteristics of Latin-American children's literature, it focuses also on Colombian children's literature evolution...

El tema a tratar, la relación entre el discurso historiográfico y la realidad, por una parte, y la nueva novela histórica y la ficción, por otra, tiene tanto en la literatura como en las ciencias literarias y culturales un carácter tópico. Diversos autores, desde Aristóteles, Cervantes y Diderot hasta Balzac y Flaubert, Borges, Robbe-Grillet y Calvino se han ocupado reiteradamente con el, al parecer, siempre actualísimo fenómeno de la relación entre ficción y realidad.:Introducción al problema. - Las tesis principales de la "nueva historiografía" y "metahistoriografía". - La reelaboración de la historia: historia como construcción semióticopragmática y estrategia de hibridización. - Resumen

La elección de los autores y obras aquí estudiados se debe a que son parte de una experiencia, epistemología y concepto de arte "orillas", de los "márgenes", entendido como una perenne oscilación, travesía y recorrido entre los dos lados de las orillas/márgenes. Los autores elegidos son habitantes de varios mundos, al menos de dos, y este "entremedios", esta producción en las intersecciones, es lo que marca su escritura, discurso y performances, en definitiva, su forma de producción.:El naranjo como figura de los pasajes transculturales. - Cartografías de la Otredad: "Cross-Cultural-Border-Land" : Guillermo Gómez Peña, Gloria Anzaldúa y Alberto Kurapel. - Resumen
