Dans un contexte postmoderne où la perception du réel est affaiblie, les arts mimétiques, auxquels la littérature ressortit, sont désormais à même de proposer une nouvelle lecture du monde, géocritique, où interviennent la théorie littéraire, la géographie culturelle et l’architecture. Actuellement, le roman semble tout englober et, en focalisant notre étude sur la représentation de l’espace qu’il propose, nous sommes conscient de réduire sa portée. Mais il nous procure, outre le plaisir de lecture, des réponses claires et décisives à la question du traitement de l’espace dans la littérature policière, dans notre cas spécifique dans le roman noir contemporain. Notre ouvrage se situe donc dans le domaine de la géocritique afin de définir une «compossibilité» entre l’espace référentiel et sa représentation fictionnelle dans les romans noirs de Lorenzo Silva, Patrick Raynal et Massimo Carlotto. Dans cette perspective, la géocritique peut devenir un véritable modèle d’analyse pour le roman noir, fournissant un support actif en connaissances potentiellement utiles lors de la production des processus narratifs. En tant que champ d’investigation qui mêle à la fois une étude anthropologique, la sociologie, la géographie, la philosophie et la cartographie, la géocritique nous donne la possibilité de transcrire l’expérience des lieux (modes de perception et de production de l’espace) évoquée par nos auteurs dans leurs romans et, en même temps, d’enrichir le vocabulaire du «lexique spatial» à travers la création de nouveaux concepts. Les œuvres de notre corpus (El alquimista impaciente, La estrategia del agua, Nice-est, Un tueur dans les arbres, Nord-est, Arrivederci amore, ciao), chacune selon sa mesure, introduisent des éléments d’hétérogénéités qui contribuent à rendre plus manifeste la perception sensorielle, ou sensuelle, que les auteurs ont de l’espace. / In a postmodern context where the perception of reality appears weakened, mimesis is now able to introduce a new interpretation of the world we live in. This new perspective is analyzed by Geocriticism where various studies such as literary theory, cultural studies and architecture are applied. Currently the literary fiction includes vast amount of themes, but we concentrate our study in spatial representation. Even though the novels give us the pleasure of reading, moreover they provide us the main answer to the representation of space regarding crime fiction, specifically the contemporary noir genre. Our work is related to Geocriticism in order to define an interaction between referential space and the fictional representation of crime novels of Lorenzo Silva, Patrick Raynal and Massimo Carlotto. Geocriticism in this context is capable to become an ideal model of analysis providing full acknowledgement support to form different narrative modes. Furthermore, integrating the study of anthropology, sociology, geography, philosophy and cartography, it gives us a chance to interpret with ease the living spaces evoked by the authors in their novels. At the same time, Geocriticism enriches our lexicon via the creation of new concepts. The novels presented in our thesis (El alquimista impaciente, La estrategia del agua, Nice-est, Un tueur dans les arbres, Nord-est, Arrivederci amore, ciao), will introduce heterogeneous elements emphasizing the sensorial perceptions which the authors have of space.

Vladimir Giorgio Scerbanenco naît à Kiev en 1911, s’installe en Italie à six mois et meurt à Milan en 1969. Auteur d’une centaine de romans, de plusieurs nouvelles et de nombreux articles, il pratique avec aisance tous les genres littéraires, véritable « machine à écrire » qui n’obtient qu’une gloire assez brève auprès du public et de la critique avec ses romans noirs de la fin des années soixante. Le protagoniste récurent y est alors Duca Lamberti, un jeune médecin expulsé de l’Ordre pour avoir pratiqué l’euthanasie qui devient une sorte de détective privé travaillant aux côtés de la police de Milan. Dans ces romans, pour la première fois en Italie, il ne s’agit pas seulement de résoudre une énigme, mais plutôt de représenter et comprendre la sphère des souffrances individuelles dans ses déterminations sociales plus larges, qui pèsent fatalement sur la possibilité d’expérimenter rationnellement la réalité. A la forme toujours égale des romans policiers, Scerbanenco ajoute des éléments référentiels nouveaux qui nous placent face au paradoxe continuel du couple dialectique « répétition/innovation ». En effet, c’est avec ces romans violents reposant sur ce personnage, Duca Lamberti, que la littérature de masse, grâce à l’accumulation hyperréaliste des éléments les plus évidents de la contemporanéité, commence à montrer la transformation rapide de la vie quotidienne italienne. / Vladimir Giorgio Scerbanenco was born in Kiev in 1911, but moved to Italy as a child and died in Milan in 1969. Author of more than a hundred novels, several short stories and numerous articles, he practiced all literary genres and reached a brief critic and public success only with his hard boiled novels from the late sixties, who see as a recurrent protagonist Duca Lamberti, a young doctor expelled from the Order for practicing euthanasia who becomes a sort of private detective, working with the Milan police. For the first time in Italy, these novels are not only about solving an enigma, but rather representing and understanding the sphere of individual suffering amid its wider social determinations, which inevitably compromise one’s opportunity to rationally experience reality. Scerbanenco added new referential elements to the formal identity of the detective novel that leave us facing the continuous repetition of the dialectic couple « repetition / innovation » paradox. Indeed, thanks to the hyper-realistic accumulation of the most evident elements of contemporaneity, it is with these novels, centered on the character of Duca Lamberti, that mass literature begins to reveal in a violent form the rapid transformation of the Italian daily life.

My research focuses on complexities of film noir which stems from two ancient genres: danse macabre and revenant stories.

Thus, this study aims to understand the context of noir film, considering to update the genre and based on its constitution, on the one hand supported by death, violence and crime, and secondly, hedonism and the femme fatale. It is intended as a further check up to contextualizes the film called neonoir point, as of theoretical orientations (using authors like James Ellroy; Heredero Carlos and Antonio Santamarina; Alain Silver and James Ursini; Luiz Nazario; and Marcia Ortegosa) and analysis of proposals, the possibilities of considering the continuity of noir film, as a classic noir film. From the methodological support of film analysis, based mainly on Aumont and Marie (2004), and Vanoye and Goliot-Lété (1994) proposed that the analysis of the movies The maltese falcon (John Huston, 1941), Gilda (Charles Vidor, 1946), Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) and Lost highway (David Lynch, 1997). Among the key findings, indicates that noir can be considered both contemporaneously through what is usually called neonoir - when taking into account a wealth of information on rearranged noir movies upgraded according to technology, culture, politics, and that still may belong to other genres - such as through a spread less classifiable, in which some elements are realized in several movies, which are not identified as neonoir. / Encontra-se uma rica oferta de possibilidades de estudo a respeito do cinema noir, considerando-se inclusive a escassez de pesquisas no país a seu respeito. Dessa forma, este estudo propõe compreender a contextualização do cinema noir, considerando a possibilidade de atualização do gênero e tendo por base sua constituição, por um lado amparada pela morte, a violência e o crime e, por outro, pelo hedonismo e a figura da femme fatale. Pretende-se verificar ainda como se contextualiza o cinema chamado neonoir e apontar, a partir das orientações teóricas (utilizando-se autores como James Ellroy; Carlos Heredero e Antônio Santamarina; Alain Silver e James Ursini; Luiz Nazário; e Marcia Ortegosa) e de análise propostas, as possibilidades de se considerar o cinema neonoir como continuidade do cinema noir clássico.A partir do suporte metodológico da análise fílmica, com base principalmente em Aumont e Marie (2004), e Vanoye e Goliot-Lété (1994), propõe-se a análise dos filmes Relíquia macabra (The maltese falcon – John Huston, 1941), Gilda (Charles Vidor, 1946), Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) e Estrada perdida (Lost highway – David Lynch, 1997). Dentre as principais conclusões, indica-se que o noir pode tanto ser considerado contemporaneamente através do que se convenciona chamar neonoir – ao se levar em conta uma riqueza de elementos noir rearranjados em filmes atualizados de acordo com a tecnologia, a cultura, a política, e que mesmo assim podem pertencer a outros gêneros –, como através de uma disseminação menos classificável, em que alguns elementos são percebidos em filmes diversos, que eventualmente não são identificados como neonoir.

This paper will provide a comprehensive account of the making of the University of New Orleans Graduate Thesis film The Cobbler and the Diamond. The first part will cover the filmmaker’s intentions, the development of the story, and the screenwriting process. The second part will break down the preproduction and planning phase, with an emphasis on the collaborations between the director and other members of the film’s cast, crew, and other concerned parties. The third part will describe the seven-day shoot of The Cobbler and the Diamond, the fourth will cover post production, and the fifth and final part will evaluate the success of the finished work, both as a fulfillment of the initial intentions of the filmmaker, and as a work of art in its own right.

A three-year study was conducted at a commercial vineyard site in California’s Edna Valley AVA to evaluate the physiological and agronomical effects of the timing of cluster thinning on Pinot noir (clone 115) grapevines. Vines were thinned to one cluster per shoot at three selected time-points during the growing season (bloom, bloom + 4 weeks, bloom + 8 weeks), and fruit from each treatment was harvested and made into wine. Across all growing seasons, yield decreased 43% in thinned vines relative to un-thinned control vines. No effect of cluster thinning or interaction with growing season was found in vine shoot diameter, internode length, fruit zone light level, or cluster weight. Growing season significantly affected more fruit and wine parameters than did cluster thinning treatment, with interactions between treatment and growing season found in fruit Brix, titratable acidity, and anthocyanins, as well as wine anthocyanins and wine b* (yellow component). For example, bloom + 8 and bloom + 12 thinning treatments advanced Brix in 2017 but had no effect in 2018. Cluster thinning treatments increased berry anthocyanins by 43% in 2017 and by 103% in 2018 relative to the control. Similarly, cluster thinning increased berry total phenolics by 87% in 2017 and by 140% in 2018 relative to the control, with no significant differences found between the different thinning treatments. However, the levels of anthocyanins and total phenolics were generally not affected by cluster thinning treatment in the resulting wines. The fact that different cluster thinning treatments resulted in nil or minor effects on fruit and wine suggests that the vines tested were at or below a balanced crop load prior to the application of cluster thinning. Edna Valley AVA could likely support higher crop loads than 3.2 on the Ravaz index without negatively impacting fruit or wine composition and reducing crop load below that level is unlikely to increase fruit or wine quality.

La présente thèse analyse deux romans et un essai de Mudimbe, dont l’œuvre exploite les enjeux de l’héritage colonial sur la conscience de l’intellectuel africain. Composé de romans sous la forme d’un monologue, notre corpus présente un « Je » (ancien colonisé) qui met en procès un « Autre ». Si cet « Autre » peut prendre plusieurs formes (le colonisateur, l’Occident, la femme occidentale, le missionnaire, et même l’Afrique), il reste que les rapports que le sujet postcolonial entretient avec ces différentes formes d’altérité ont en commun d’être marqués négativement. Le travail consiste à déterminer ce qui préside à ces rapports négatifs à l’Autre, rendant toute relation intersubjective presque impossible. L’hypothèse principale est que l’expérience coloniale serait à l’origine du déséquilibre du « je », lequel impacte sur la relation à l’Autre. Cependant, l’analyse montre qu’il est plus approprié de dire que le rapport à l’Autre est biaisé par deux déterminismes : l’histoire coloniale et le déterminisme social. Entre les eaux représente l’Autre par le christianisme ou le marxisme et L’Écart par l’histoire ou la psychanalyse, L’Autre face du royaume (essai) le représente par l’ethnologie, science coloniale. Toutefois, après avoir essayé de prendre ses distances avec ce qui représente l’Occident, sans vraiment y parvenir, le sujet postcolonial déroute le lecteur en refusant d’embrasser son Afrique. Au final, le sujet postcolonial, loin d’idéaliser l’Afrique ou d’en faire un paradis à retrouver, ou de se confondre au maître occidental, ne renie ni l’un ni l’autre. Il ouvre ainsi la voie à une identité hybride.
