Les "avatars du moi" chez Paul Auster : autofiction et métafiction dans les romans de la maturitéThevenon, Marie 23 November 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Entre autobiographie et fiction, le terme " autofiction ", inventé par Serge Doubrovsky, est un " genre " qui s'est surtout épanoui à la fin du XIXe siècle avec " la transposition en fiction des fragments d'une expérience " (Hubier), devenue de plus en plus populaire au fil du temps. La recherche entreprise dans cette thèse porte sur la forme contemporaine de ce mélange entre autobiographie et fiction que l'on trouve chez Paul Auster. Le corpus principal est composé de ses romans dits de la " maturité ", publiés entre 1991 et 2008 : Leviathan, The Book of Illusions, Oracle Night, The Brooklyn Follies, Travels in the Scriptorium et Man in the Dark. C'est ainsi la question de l'évolution de l'autofiction mais également de la métafiction chez cet auteur qui est examinée dans cette thèse. Divisé en trois parties, ce travail porte dans un premier temps sur les repères spatiotemporels dans les romans de Paul Auster avant de se concentrer sur les éléments métafictionnels présents dans les romans du corpus. Dans la première partie, une distinction est faite entre deux espaces : l'espace intérieur et l'espace extérieur et la façon dont ces deux espaces cohabitent. Dans une deuxième partie, la thèse s'intéresse aux repères temporels, qu'ils soient d'ordre mémoriel ou en rapport direct avec la structure du récit. La thèse examine le rôle que jouent certains repères empruntés à l'Histoire contemporaine dans l'histoire personnelle des personnages, en observant qu'ils occupent une place toujours plus importante au fur et à mesure que l'oeuvre austérienne progresse, en particulier à partir des attentats du onze septembre. Enfin, c'est la mise en scène de l'écriture chez Paul Auster et la façon dont elle alimente l'autofiction en mettant l'accent sur l'identité d'écrivain de notre auteur qui est traitée : l'emploi du langage, l'évolution des supports d'écriture chez les personnages, la description de la méthodologie du travail de l'écrivain mais également l'intratextualité qui met en avant le lien entre tous ses romans.

La bataille décisive / The decisive battleDanet, Laurent 14 December 2011 (has links)
La bataille décisive est une notion vague mais immédiatement intelligible par tout un chacun. Elle fonctionne à la manière d’un comprimé idéologique. Son utilisation discursive renvoie à l’imagerie populaire des exploits de grands capitaines, ou à des points chauds de rencontre entre armées titanesques, aux visages innombrables tendus par la conscience de jouer la survie de son roi ou de sa nation. La bataille décisive reste également chez les auteurs spécialisés une notion communément admise mêlant concentration géographique et accélération historique, la raison d’être de la guerre. Mais si l’on considère que les belligérants, en l’occurrence les collectivités politiques, procèdent d’uns substance psychique et non plus d’une simple structure sociale, la notion de bataille décisive prend une autre profondeur. L’être psychique collectif acquiert en effet un patrimoine archétypal absent de la politie vue comme un acteur purement rationnel. L’empirisme historique et un certain nombre d’auteurs philosophes, psychologues et anthropologues, montrent que ces archétypes seraient les pôles animus et anima siégeant dans l’inconscient collectif. Les formes politiques des collectivités exprimeraient directement ces archétypes, habituellement dilués en chacun de nous par l’écran de l’inconscient individuel. A chaque forme politique, clan, tribu, nation, correspondrait une relation spécifique entre les deux pôles. Les avatars historiques du Père Totémique freudien sont le chef, le roi, Dieu-le-Père, etc. Contre lui, les avatars de la Déesse-Mère matricielle se décantent en territoire, sanctuaire, Mère-Patrie, etc. C’est lorsqu’il y a correspondance géographique entre deux avatars, en l’occurrence lorsque le pouvoir homogène du chef correspond d’une manière nette au territoire collectif matriciel, les murs de la Cité ou les frontières de l’Etat, par exemple, que le bataille décisive apparaît à la pointe de la théorie et de la pratique. Cette perspective pourrait projeter une lumière nouvelle sur les relations internationales. Le recours à la bataille décisive marque l’intention fébrile d’annihiler définitivement l’ennemi afin de maintenir la pureté de sa matrice maternelle, originelle et performatrice. Cette angoisse de la souillure du viol, certes spatial mais également culturel, dénote le caractère sexuel collectif de la guerre, en ce sens que la guerre serait la pratique sexuelle des collectivités politiques. Cette pratique anthropologique s’avère plus profonde que la guerre elle-même. Le paroxysme de la crise internationale remplace actuellement la bataille décisive de la guerre, et corrobore en effet l’idée de pilotes archétypaux clandestins, sans que ces derniers ne soient cependant déterministes et fatals. / The decisive battle is a vague but at once understandable notion by everyone. It works in the style of an ideological tablet. Its discursive use sends back to the popular imaging of the exploits of big captains, or to the trouble spots of meeting between titanic armies, to the uncountable faces tightened by the consciousness to play the survival of his king or its nation. The decisive battle also stays at the specialized author’s a notion collectively admitted mixing geographical concentration and historic acceleration, the reason for being of the war. But if we consider that belligerent parties, in this particular case the political communities, proceed of some psychic substance and either of a simple social order, the notion of decisive battle takes another depth. The psychic collective being indeed acquires an archetypal heritage absent in the politie seen as a purely rational actor. The historic empiricism and certain number of philosophers, psychologists and anthropologists authors, show that these archetypes would be the animus and anima poles sitting in the collective unconscious. The political forms of communities would express directly these archetypes, usually diluted in each of us with the screen of the individual unconscious. In every political shape, clan, tribe, nation, would correspond a specific relation between both poles. The historic adversities of Freudian Father Totemic are the chief, the king, God-the-Father, etc. Against him, the adversities of the matrix Goddness-Mother settle on territory, sanctuary, Mother-homeland, etc. It’s when there is geographical correspondence between two adversities, in this particular case when the homogeneous power of the chief corresponds in a clear way to the matrix collective territory, the walls of the City, or the borders of the State, for example, when decisive battle appears in the forefront of the theory and of the practice. This prospect could throw a new light on the international relations. The appeal to the decisive battle marks the feverish intention to annul definitively the enemy to maintain the purity of its maternal, original and performatrice matrix. This anxiety of the stain of the rape, certainly spatial but also cultural, denotes the collective sexual character of the war, in the sense that the war would be the sexual practice of the political communities. This anthropological practice turns out deeper than the war itself. The paroxysm of the international crisis replaces at present the decisive battle of the war, and indeed confirms the idea of secret archetypal drivers, without that these last ones are however determinist and fatal.

Perceptions of the serpent in the Ancient Near East : its Bronze Age role in apotropaic magic, healing and protectionGolding, Wendy Rebecca Jennifer 11 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation I examine the role played by the ancient Near Eastern serpent in apotropaic and prophylactic magic. Within this realm the serpent appears in roles in healing and protection where magic is often employed. The possibility of positive and negative roles is investigated. The study is confined to the Bronze Age in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine. The serpents, serpent deities and deities with ophidian aspects and associations are described. By examining these serpents and deities and their roles it is possible to incorporate a comparative element into his study on an intra- and inter-regional basis.
In order to accumulate information for this study I have utilised textual and pictorial evidence, as well as artefacts (such as jewellery, pottery and other amulets) bearing serpent motifs. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Ancient Near Eastern Studies)

...And Reconcile Us With Evil : A Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film and PoliticsGellrich, Arne L January 2016 (has links)
With an eye on the current social and political situation in Europe, and with regards to the so-termed refugee crisis, this study aims to map the discourse on assumed good and evil shared among Western cultures, as represented by Sweden, Germany and the United States. The thesis takes its point of departure from essayistic reflections of the philosophical tradition and theological and religious analytical positions respectively. These are then followed by two investigative main chapters, designed along the lines of Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA). The first of these chapters studies the narratives of good and evil employed in the mainstream cinema of the past ten years in the mentioned countries. The second analysis is made up of three case studies, in turn looking at similar narratives in the campaigns of the two main competitors in the 2016 presidential race, a German protest movement against free trade agreements, and the everyday political communication of Swedish Facebook users. In a final chapter, findings from all four preceding chapters are brought together in an attempt to sketch an image of the congruences and discrepancies of narratives on good and evil in the overall discursive field. The thesis finds that the discursive field shared by the three investigated societies is largely homogenous, with certain imagery permeating all analysed orders of discourse. Many of the reoccurring images are however likely rooted in the human psyche and therefore less dependent on discourse practice. Furthermore, certain principles are agreed upon in theory while not reproduced in social practice. Themes assigned to either good or evil often seem to take on secondary functions next to assumed fixed identities of in- and out-groups. Being a qualitative study, this thesis aims at giving an overview and delivering a base for further investigations rather than providing definitive answers.
