Nous proposons dans cette thèse une analyse et une comparaison des trajectoires intellectuelles et des postures politiques d’Octavio Paz, Gabriel García Márquez et Mario Vargas Llosa, pour ainsi faire un apport à l’histoire intellectuelle de l’Amérique Latine dans la deuxième moitié du XXème siècle. Pendant les années soixante, l’intellectualité latino-américaine fut marquée par la Révolution cubaine et le contexte politique mondial des années soixante : la Guerre Froide, la Guerre du Vietnam, l’invasion de Prague et les manifestations dans différents pays. Paz, García Márquez et Vargas Llosa furent de grands acteurs de cette époque, c’est par le biais de cette thèse que nous les comparons en tant qu’intellectuels aux postures différentes. L’objectif principal de ce travail est donc de comprendre les trajectoires et les participations intellectuelles des trois écrivains latino-américains, dans le cadre de l’histoire intellectuelle latino-américaine et française (concepts et théories au XXème siècle). Pour cela, nous analysons et comparons leurs formations idéologiques, les relations savantes qu’ils ont entretenues, leur prise de position par rapport à quatre conjonctures (Révolution cubaine, Coup d’État au Chili, Sandinisme au Nicaragua, et l’EZLN au Mexique) et leur représentation de la figure de l’intellectuel. C’est ainsi que nous montrons comment, en Amérique Latine on peut observer une participation intellectuelle accrue à la fin du XXème siècle, ce qui permet de proposer une « régénération de la cité lettrée ». / We propose in this thesis an analysis and comparison of intellectual paths and political postures of Octavio Paz, Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa, which it allows to understand Latin America’s intellectual history in the second half of the 20th century. During the 1960’s Latin American intellectuals were marked with Cuban revolution and world’s political context: Cold War, Vietnam War, Prague’s invasion and student protests around the world. Paz, García Márquez and Vargas Llosa were part of this period, that’s why with this work we compare them as intellectuals and they have different postures. The main objective of this thesis is to compare their intellectual involvement, within the context of Latin American and French intellectual history (concepts and theories in 20th century). For this reason, we analyze and compare theirs ideological formations, intellectual conjunctions and disjunctions, involvement in four conjunctures (Cuban revolution, Coup d’État in Chile, Sandinism in Nicaragua and EZLN in Mexico) and theirs intellectual figure’s representations. Therefore we show that in Latin America we find intellectual involvement at the end of the 20th century, which allow us to propose a “lettered city’s regeneration”. / Con esta tesis proponemos un análisis y comparación de las trayectorias intelectuales y las posturas políticas de Octavio Paz, Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa, para hacer un aporte a la historia intelectual en América Latina en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Durante los años sesenta la intelectualidad latinoamericana estuvo marcada por la Revolución Cubana y el contexto politizado a nivel mundial: la Guerra Fría, la Guerra de Vietnam, la invasión de Praga y las manifestaciones estudiantiles en diferentes países. Paz, García Márquez y Vargas Llosa fueron parte de esa época, por lo que por medio de esta tesis se les compara como intelectuales y tuvieron posturas distintas. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es comprender las trayectorias y las participaciones intelectuales de los tres escritores, en el marco de la historia intelectual latinoamericana y francesa (conceptos y teorías surgidas en el siglo XX). Se analizan y comparan sus formaciones ideológicas, conjunciones y disyunciones intelectuales, su participación en cuatro coyunturas (Revolución Cubana, Golpe de Estado en Chile, Sandinismo en Nicaragua y EZLN en México), su representación de la figura intelectual y los matices intelectuales de los tres escritores. Por consiguiente, se mostrará que en Latinoamérica puede observarse una participación activa del intelectual a finales del siglo XX, lo que conduce a proponer una “regeneración de la ciudad letrada”.

Denna studie undersöker och belyser sambanden mellan ryske författaren Boris Pasternaks erhållande av Nobelpriset i litteratur (1958) och spridningen av dennes författarskap. Syftet med studien är dels att definiera Nobelprisets roll som kulturspridare, men också att problematisera kulturprisers komplexa funktioner och inflytande över kulturell produktion. För att göra detta har två områden analyserats: Pasternaks utgivning på svenska samt dennes förekomst i svensk dagspress mellan 1953–2013.   I analysen påvisas Nobelprisets starka konsekrerande effekt på ett författarskap såväl som prisets förmåga att på lång sikt kanonisera en författare. I enlighet med Englishs teori om hur kulturpriser verkar som medium för kapitalutbyte, framgår det också i analysen hur flera involverade intressenter kapitaliserat på Pasternaks pris genom att växla in kulturellt, ekonomiskt och medialt kapital. I analysen förtydligas dessutom hur kulturprisapparaten skapar och förstärker kulturellt värde, och hur dess inflytande därmed inte inskränker sig till den kulturella scenen utan också har möjligheten att påverka den allmänna politiska opinionen. / This study explores and sheds light upon the relations between Russian author Boris Pasternak’s Nobel Prize in Literature (1958) and the subsequent proliferation of his authorship. The study’s aim is partly to define the Nobel Prize and its role as a distributor of culture, but also to problematize the complex nature of cultural prizes and their influence over cultural production. In order to do this two areas have been analysed: Pasternak’s publication in Swedish and his occurrence in Swedish daily press between 1953–2013.   The analysis exemplifies the strong consecrating power of the Nobel prize, as well as its ability to, in a longer perspective, solidify an author into a literary canon. In line with English’s theory on how cultural prizes have come to serve as forums for capital intraconversion, it is also evident in Pasternak’s example how several of the involved parties have capitalized on the prize by trading cultural, economic and medial capital. Furthermore, the analysis concretizes how the cultural prize apparatus produces and reinforces cultural value, and consequently not only influences the cultural scene, but also has the potential to sway public political opinion.

The aim of this thesis is to present an annotated literary translation of two short stories (L'arbre Yama a Barsa, ou barsaq) from the collection Histoire du pied et autres fantaisies by French author and Nobel Prize for literature winner J. M. G. Le Clézio. The first part of this thesis contains a translation of the two short stories. The second part, a commentary on the translation, includes information about the choice of the text, the author and his work, main stylistic and thematic features of the two translated texts, a list of main translation problems and strategies to solve them, the choice of the translation method and conception, the reception of Le Clézio's work in Czech literary context and an analysis of a survey among Czech publishers.

自2003年布達佩斯宣言公佈起，國際間學術文獻開始開放取用的趨勢。於此背景下，本研究以諾貝爾生物醫學獎近十年23位得主為研究樣本，評比在商業資料庫(SCIE、Scopus)及開放取用系統(生物醫學類：Pubmed、Highwire；綜合類：Google Scholar)的文獻收錄狀況，除了比較其內部重複性與完整性，並交叉比對五個資料庫與系統的重複性、獨特性及完整性，同時也觀看能否取得全文的比率，來了解現今開放取用文獻的狀況，進而觀察開放取用系統和商業資料庫兩者是否可以互補，或是開放取用系統有代替商業資料庫的可能性。 研究結果顯示五個資料庫及系統的檢索形式多元。針對作者檢索而言，Scopus最完善，資料收錄也較齊全；SCIE及Pubmed兩者則是檢索結果最為相似。如果以學術出版收錄而言，則是Highwire較完整；至於Google Scholar的獨特性較高。整體而言，開放取用系統比商業資料庫的全文收錄比例高，但Scopus是收錄最多全文的資料庫。本研究同時也發現PNAS是五個資料庫與系統之重複來源及獨特來源。另外，使用PubMed及Highwire檢索生物醫學文獻會比Google Scholar來得專業。 根據研究結果建議，商業資料庫可考慮將網路開放資源納入收錄範圍，以便妥善整理及應用網路資源的書目及全文。開放取用系統則應改善索引書目之正確性及著錄完整性。另外，針對圖書館的服務宜採取以下之因應措施：(1)加強推廣商業資料庫之正確檢索方式及使用時機；(2)教導如何正確使用開放取用系統的檢索模式；(3)平衡商業資料庫和開放取用系統的使用，以達成圖書館經費的合理運用。 本研究後續可延伸至生物醫學領域的臨床及實證醫學上，以了解生物醫學中兩個最具時效性的學術文獻系統是否達到開放取用的立即性及實用性。再者，使用者對開放取用的滿意度研究是學術出版界急欲了解的課題，也是後續研究可加強努力的方向。 / The International Scholarly Communication has gradually forwarded open access system since the publication of Budapest Declaration in 2003. Under this research background, this study uses biomedical Nobel Prize winners in recent years for the study of 23 samples of appraisal in the commercial database (SCIE, Scopus) and open access systems (biomedical categories: Pubmed, Highwire ; Comprehensive: Google Scholar) literature collection status, in addition to comparing repeatability and integrity of its internal and cross-comparison of the five databases and system repeatability, uniqueness and integrity, while also viewing the ability to obtain the ratio of text to understand current status of open access literature, and then observe the open access systems and commercial databases whether the two can complement each other, or open access database system instead of commercial possibilities. The results showed that five databases have different retrieval systems in many different forms. For the purposes of retrieval, Scopus collections are more complete; SCIE and Pubmed are the most similar two databases in the search results. Inclusion academic publishing purposes, Highwire is the most complete one. For Google Scholar, the collection’s uniqueness is the highest. Overall, comparing the open access system with commercial database, open access system contains a high proportion of full text. Scopus is the most one of full text collections. The PNAS study also found that five of the duplicate database and system sources and unique source. In addition, the use of PubMed and Highwire retrieved biomedical literature is more professional than Google Scholar. According to the study results suggest that commercial databases can be considered included in the scope of network resources into the open, in order to properly organize network resources and application of bibliographic and full-text. Open access system should improve the accuracy and bibliographic indexing bibliographic completeness. In addition, for the library service should take the following measures in response to: (a) enhance the promotion of commercial database retrieval methods and the use of proper timing; (2) to teach the proper use of open access system retrieval mode; (3) Balance Business open access database and use of the system, in order to achieve rational use of library funds. The follow-up research of this study can be extended to the field of clinical and biomedical evidence-based medicine research. The follow-up research results can be used to understand the biomedical literature’ timeliness, whether the system reaches an open access immediate or practicality. Furthermore, users' satisfaction with open access scholarly publishing research is also an anxious subject to know, and the follow-up study will strengthen efforts.
