Some String or Another: Fiction and Nonfiction Stories of Connection, a creative thesis, explores patterns of change in stories from the perspective of connection and disconnection. The preface examines the effects of temporal disconnection, the relationship of conflict and connection to narrative rhythm, and the webs of connection formed during the process of creation. Included in the body of the work are six fiction stories, one metafiction story, and two nonfiction essays.

Mémoire en recherche-création / Sombres coulisses est un roman policier dans lequel il n’y a pas de cadavre. Suivant un duo de policiers, le récit se déroule dans une école de théâtre à la mauvaise réputation, suite à la disparition d’une élève. L’école privée, milieu hermétique aux allures de secte, ne permet pas aux policiers de mener l’enquête telle qu’ils l’entendent ; mais bientôt, d’autres élèves sont portés disparus. Contenant peu de violence physique, ce roman se concentre sur la violence psychologique présente dans notre société et interroge la place de la violence dans le roman policier contemporain. Avec une intertextualité entretenue par l’intrigue et de nombreuses références à des pièces de théâtre, ainsi que par des métadiscours sur le milieu de l’art contemporain, ce roman a pour but de faire ressortir l’utilisation de la violence. Entre enlèvements et jeux de dupes, ce roman propose une plongée dans l’univers théâtral et artistique. L’essai qui le suit, Représentation de la violence dans le roman policier français contemporain : Travail soigné de Pierre Lemaitre et Sharko de Franck Thilliez, s’articule également autour des questions de la représentation de la violence. À partir de la définition que propose de ce concept Yves Michaud, l’essai tente de comprendre la place de la violence, physique et psychologique, dans deux romans d’auteurs français, Franck Thilliez et Pierre Lemaitre. La violence est alors abordée sous différents angles : violence qui structure le récit par un jeu de rythme de l’histoire et du récit, violence artistique et visuelle, ou encore violence ouvrant un métadiscours, ainsi que sur une réflexion sur sa place dans l’art. La violence est utilisée de différentes façons, ce qui en fait un élément incontournable du roman policier. / Sombres coulisses is a crime novel in which there is no corpse. Following a duo of policemen, the story takes place in a theater school with a bad reputation following the disappearance of a student. The private school, a hermetic, cult-like environment, doesn't allow the police to investigate as they see fit but soon other students are reported missing. With little physical violence, this novel focuses on the psychological violence present in our society and questions the place of violence in contemporary crime fiction. Through intertextuality maintained by the plot and numerous references to plays, as well as metadiscourses on the contemporary art world, this novel aims to highlight the use of violence. Between kidnappings and deception, this novel offers a dive into the world of theater and art. The essay that follows, Représentation de la violence dans le roman policier français contemporain: Travail soigné de Pierre Lemaitre and Sharko de Franck Thilliez, also focuses on questions of how violence is represented. Based on Yves Michaud's definition of the concept, the essay attempts to understand the place of violence, both physical and psychological, in two novels by French authors: Franck Thilliez and Pierre Lemaitre. Violence is approached from different angles: violence that structures the narrative through a play on the rhythm of the story and narrative, artistic and visual violence, or violence that opens up a metadiscourse, as well as a reflection on its place in art. Violence is used in different ways, making it an unavoidable element of the detective novel.

For the accomplishment of this dissertation the bibliographic research method was used in an analytic-deductive way. Initially we demonstrate the trajectory, construction and evolution of Literature to the Work of Literary Art. Next we draw an overview of Children's Literature; From its genesis to contemporaneity, questioning its existence as subgenre of literature, genre for a specific reader or subliterature. This subject is treated with theoretical support from the critics Nelly Novaes Coelho, Antonio Candido de Mello e Souza and Regina Zilberman. We also present the works and their authors, the body of this dissertation. Symbols and myths are analyzed in the mitochristic view under the aegis of the imaginary theory of Gilbert Durant and Gaston Bachelard in order to understand the question of mythic actualization and its influence on the aesthetic effect. The rhythms and images, with the theoretical support of Paul Valéry and Octavio Paz, are analyzed as an agent of seduction, as a poetic instrument and as significant resources that accentuate and favor the occurrence of the aesthetic effect. At the end of the research we report three real cases that show the concretization of the aesthetic effect. The Theory of Aesthetic Effect discussed in this paper was founded on Wolfgang Iser. / Nesta pesquisa discorremos e analisamos o imaginário através da construção, transformação e, ou desconstrução dos símbolos e mitos, bem como analisamos os ritmos e imagens possibilitando a realização do efeito estético no poema narrativo A História da Aranha Leopoldina de Ana Luísa Amaral e a narrativa poética A Moça Tecelã de Marina Colasanti. Para realização desta dissertação utilizou-se o método de pesquisa bibliográfico de forma analítico-dedutiva. Inicialmente, demonstramos a trajetória, construção e evolução da Literatura à Obra de Arte Literária. Em seguida, traçamos um panorama da Literatura Infantil da sua gênese à contemporaneidade, questionando sua existência enquanto subgênero da Literatura, gênero para um leitor específico ou subliteratura. Esse assunto foi tratado com suporte teórico dos críticos Nelly Novaes Coelho, Antonio Candido de Mello e Souza e Regina Zilberman. Apresentamos, também, as obras e suas autoras, corpora desta dissertação. Símbolos e mitos foram analisados na visão mitocrítica sob a égide da teoria do imaginário de Gilbert Durant e Gaston Bachelard a fim de compreendermos a questão da atualização mítica e sua influência no efeito estético. Os ritmos e as imagens, com suporte teórico de Paul Valéry e Octavio Paz, foram analisados como agente de sedução, como instrumento poético e como recursos significativos que acentuam e propiciam a ocorrência do efeito estético. Finalizando a pesquisa, relatamos três casos verídicos que evidenciam a concretização do efeito estético. A Teoria do Efeito Estético discutida neste trabalho foi fundamentada em Wolfgang Iser.
