Ce mémoire se décline en trois parties. La première en est une de création où se succèdent cinq nouvelles mettant en scène des personnages en quête de leur propre présence. Dans chacune des courtes histoires présentées, la photographie prend une place centrale quant à l’incarnation de cette recherche. Suit une partie théorique portant sur la présence dans trois œuvres photo-textuelles de Sophie Calle. À leur lecture, une impression de présence émane. De quoi s’agit-il, exactement? Comment cela fonctionne-t-il? Et à quel point cette matière est-elle malléable? Cette analyse tente de répondre à ces questions en s’intéressant aux rapports entre texte et photographie dans À suivre, Gotham Handbook et Des histoires vraies, et ce, à la lumière des écrits de Roland Barthes, de Georges Didi-Huberman et de Johnnie Gratton. Puis, une réflexion sur l’écriture s’ouvre sur l’idée de l’expérience comme manière d’embrasser la présence. Je propose une poétique du corps de l’écrivain qui cherche des états de présence au monde en fréquentant des magasins de vêtements de seconde main. J’ouvre ainsi mon atelier en présentant un micro-cycle de création comportant des procédés d’épuisement des sens et menant ultimement à une expression de la sensibilité à l’expérience, si cruciale dans mon processus personnel.

The first chapter is my analysis of the work, following the model of the writers Anne Goliot-Lété and Francis Vanoye, and the second chapter discusses the critical texts, analysis and interviews connected to the film. I also discussed the difficulties related to the interpretation of movies, and I tried in my own analysis to be very close to the movie itself, despite the tentations to invent more. / A pesquisa tem como objetivo fazer uma análise estilístico-temática do filme Persona, de Ingmar Bergman, 1966. O primeiro capítulo é a minha análise da obra, seguindo o modelo dos escritores Anne Goliot-Lété e Francis Vanoye, e o segundo trata da discussão de textos críticos, de análises e entrevistas ligados à obra. Busquei nesse trabalho discutir as dificuldades ligadas à interpretação de uma obra cinematográfica, atendo-me à questão de não deixar de lado a leitura do filme em si, a despeito das tentações que certos temas e rastros estilísticos podem despertar.

En linguistique, la politesse vise la préservation de l’harmonie interactionnelle. Que se passe-t-il dans les situations où le dissensus se trouve au cœur des échanges, tel le cas de nos talk-shows ? Le rôle de l’impolitesse, de la violence et leurs rapports à la politesse dans On n’est pas couché et Tout le monde en parle ont constitué le point de départ de notre recherche. Le présent travail est une analyse du système de la politesse confronté aux défis des émissions mentionnées, défis qui nous ont amenée à explorer la dichotomie politesse-impolitesse et qui nous ont conduite à articuler ces dernières avec les notions d’adéquation au contrat de communication, de violence et de mise en scène.Afin de rendre compte du fonctionnement de ces phénomènes, deux démarches nous ont semblé nécessaires. Premièrement, abandonner la conception selon laquelle la politesse désignait les comportements jugés adéquats et l’impolitesse était conçue comme sa « contrepartie » négative. Deuxièmement, tenter de « re-conceptualisation » la notion d’adéquation aux normes tout en allant au-delà des classements rigides et des formules conventionnelles polies ou impolies.Partant de ces réflexions, nous nous sommes fixé une double ambition : dans le premier volet, nous avons voulu aménager le cadre théorique de la politesse ─ qui, appliqué à notre corpus, présentait certaines insuffisances ─, et formuler des critères pour l’évaluation des notions présentées. Ainsi, nous avons proposé, avec prudence et modestie, un cadre et des outils théoriques adaptés à nos talk-shows. Dans le second volet, nous avons analysé ─ manipulant les outils présentés et nous appuyant sur ce nouveau cadre ─, le fonctionnement du système de la politesse ainsi que les mises en scène de la parole polie, impolie et violente. / In linguistics, politeness, considered omnipresent, aims at preserving the interactional and interpersonal harmony. But what happens when conflict is at the very heart of verbal interactions, as is the case with our talk-shows? The role of impoliteness and violence, as well as their relationship with politeness in “On n’est pas couché” and “Tout le monde en parle” are to be considered as the starting point for our research. Thus, the present work is an analysis of the notion of politeness confronted to the “challenges” raised by the televised shows mentioned above, an analysis in which we explored the politeness/impoliteness dichotomy that we articulated, thereafter, with the notions of appropriateness (in respect to the communication contract), violence and representation or “mise-en-scène”.In order to give a proper account of the functioning of these phenomena, firstly, we gave up the general view according to which politeness was defined as adequate behaviour while impoliteness was seen as its negative counterpart. Secondly, we tried to reconceptualise the notion of appropriateness going beyond rigid classifications or conventionalised polite and impolite formula.Given these considerations, we established a twofold objective. On the one hand, we tried to adjust the theoretical framework of politeness that, applied to our data, presented certain deficiencies, and to come up with some evaluation criteria for the analysed notions; consequently, we modestly and prudently proposed a framework and several theoretical “tools” adapted to our talk-shows. On the other hand, we analysed ─ using the presented tools and framework ─, the mechanisms of politeness and impoliteness as well as the divers “mises-en-scène” of polite, impolite and violent speech.

I denna semiotiska analys granskas hur nakenhet i Westworlds första säsong används för att stöda en etablering av androiderna som objekt. Detta görs utifrån en analys av mise-en-scène i två sekvenser av scener där nakenscenen följs av en påklädd sådan. I analysen ses ett samband mellan nakenscenernas science fiction-kodade miljöer och teorier kring en perfekt artificiell kropp, medan de påklädda scenerna visar livfulla och känslosamma ögonblick. Detta resulterar i en nakenhet som inte kan bli osedd och som även förändrar hur tittaren ser på påklädda scener. / This semiotic analysis examines the way nudity in Westworld’s first season is used to support an establishment of the androids as object. This is done through an analysis of mise-en-scène in two sequences of scenes where the nude scene is followed by a clothed one. In the analysis a connection between the nude scenes’ science fiction coded environments and theories about a perfect artificial body can be found, while the clothed scenes show lifeful and emotional moments. This results in a nudity that cannot be unseen and even affects the way the viewer sees clothed scenes.

This dissertation explores how the concepts of ambivalence, horror, monsters and mise-en-scène can be used to interpret the ambivalent predator-monster/victim relationship of the characters Sonja Daneel, Adele and Maggie Joubert from the film Wolwedans in die Skemer (2012). In doing so, this dissertation investigates how Noël Carroll’s The Philosophy of Horror or Paradoxes of the Heart (1990) and Jeffery Cohen's Monster Theory (1996) can be used as a theoretical foundation to analyse and interpret the characters Sonja, Adele and Maggie. This research argues that within the horror genre, viewers are presented with two classic characters, namely that of the monster (often male) and the victim (often female), each with their own set of characteristics and traits that set them apart. However, I postulate that in Wolwedans in die Skemer these characteristics and traits are often blurred into one character, giving rise to a monster-victim ambivalence. This study also investigates the connection that the characters Sonja, Adele and Maggie have in relation to werewolves and to the characters of the Little Girl and the Wolf from the Red Riding Hood tales. Jones (2012:140) proposes that the wolf is the projection of her own inner predator - this suggests that the Little Girl and the Wolf can be seen as one character, a combination of victim and predator. Red Riding Hood can possibly be interpreted as recognising her inner self as the Wolf or a werewolf. A werewolf is a person who has been transformed, by force of will and desire, from a human (victim) into a predatory and monstrous wolf-like state. When women are werewolves, the traditional coding of horror - monster as male, victim as female, no longer applies. The "female werewolves" of Wolwedans in die Skemer each become, in some way, Little Red Riding Hood, Wolf, and Woodcutter fused into one. By analysing the characters Sonja, Adele and Maggie through the lens of the monster and victim with regards to the concepts of ambivalence, horror, and miseen- scène, it becomes clear that the roles of the monster and the victim in Wolwedans in die Skemer dissolve into one body, creating an ambivalent fluctuation between the two. / MA (History of art), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
