L ʹAutre côte: la mémoire collective dans trois romans d ʹAmin Maalouf.Bagot, Catherine Ann January 2009 (has links)
The other side: collective memory in three novels by Amin Maalouf Collective memory is an expression which is used to describe the way in which societies reflect on their past and ensure their unity in the present. This thesis aims to show how narrative in general, and in particular in the novels of French Lebanese writer, Amin Maalouf, plays a crucial role in the transmission of collective memory. The thesis demonstrates that narrative fulfills this function in three ways. Firstly, narrative gives meaning to past events. Secondly, narrative changes and evolves over time. Lastly, narrative ensures a continual exchange between individual and collective memory. Thus, in its capacity to sustain aspects of individual and collective memory, narrative expresses the values that unite society. Central to our analysis of narrative in the work of Amin Maalouf is the concept of "l'autre côté" or "the other side". This is the expression used by Maalouf when referring to his passion for forgotten or uncomfortable aspects of Western and Arab cultural heritage. By informing the contemporary reader of the shared past, Maalouf strives to build bridges of understanding between the two groups. Maalouf's novels explore themes of origins, of exile and of memory. In the three novels we examine, the narrative is centered on the life of the hero who, endowed with exceptional qualities, is tested by the political and religious challenges of his time. The personal qualities of the hero, revealed in his dealings with the crises which form the particularity of his time, determine the orientation of collective memory. The first novel, Léon l'Africain, published in 1986, is based on the life of Hassan al-Wazzan who lived in Spain, Africa and Rome in the early sixteenth century. Hassan tells the story of his family, and of the political circumstances which led to the expulsion of the Arabs from Spain. The second novel, Les Jardins de lumière, published in 1991, examines the life of the poet, doctor and philosopher named Mani who lived in the third century A.D. In the Epilogue of the novel, the narrator states his intention of challenging the misconceptions and distortions concerning the life of Mani. In the third novel, Le Rocher de Tanios, published in 1993, the narrator sets out to find the truth concerning the events surrounding the birth, life and disappearance of the young man named Tanios, who lived in the narrator's village in Lebanon at the beginning of the nineteenth century. / Thesis (M.A.) - University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2009

Identité, théâtralité et statut anthropologique de la fiction narrative dans "The New York Trilogy" de Paul Auster et "La Polka, la fabrique de cérémonies, solo d’un revenant" de Kossi Efoui / Identity, theatricality and socio-anthropological status of the narrative fiction. The case of Kossi Efoui and Paul Auster.Mounienguet M'bérah, Yannick 24 October 2012 (has links)
Ce travail porte sur les conditions d’élaboration d’un savoir anthropologique à partir des formes discursives du roman contemporain et la représentation du personnage qui en découle. Il dresse un statut de ce savoir en mettant ces formes en relation avec le contexte socio-anthropologique qui détermine leur émergence, renvoyant le phénomène esthétique à sa réception et à sa signification sociale.Ainsi, par le concept de théâtralité, nous désignons un bouleversement de l’identité du roman ainsi que la modalité par lesquelles la crise du personnage s’énonce en « refigurant » l’image de l’individu et de la société. Les trois parties de la thèse répondent à la triple articulation de la méthode socio-anthropologique du Texte. La première partie revient sur les influences mutuelles entre littérature et anthropologie et montre, à partir du concept de mimésis, que la fiction propose à son tour une vision de l’homme. La seconde partie localise deux niveaux de théâtralité dans le roman : celle qui met l’identité de ce dernier en crise et l’autre qui réélabore la mimésis en « représentant » un personnage de roman totalement morcelé. La troisième partie, enfin, cherche à établir des correspondances entre cette double crise du roman et du personnage et les figures de l’homme. / This work concerns the conditions of elaboration of an anthropological knowledge from the discursive forms of the contemporary novel and the representation of the character which this one sets up. It raises a status of this knowledge by putting these forms in connection with the socio-anthropological context which determines their emergence, referring to the aesthetic phenomenon of its reception and its social significance. So, the theatricality concept indicates a disruption of the novel identity as well as the method by which the character crisis expresses itself, "refiguring" the vision of human being and the society. The dissertation is divided in three parts all in accordance with the triple articulation of the Text socio-anthropological method. The first part’s dealing with the mutual influence between literature and anthropology. With the mimesis concept, that first part shows that the novel proposes its own vision of the human being. The second part localizes two levels of theatricality in the novel: the one that puts the identity of that one in the crisis and the over that re-elaborates the mimesis by representing a character totally split. The third part tries to establish correspondences between this double crisis of the character and human beings.

Previous issue date: 2013-03-21 / This study aims to analyze the representations of work and consumption present in the narratives of overcoming bodily traumas, which were part of the collective of life stories of "ordinary people" included at the end of each chapter of the soap opera Viver a Vida (Rede Globo, 2010) and made available on the website Portal da Superação. The theoretical framework that supports this research is based in discussions about the relationship between communication, work and consumption, as well as sociocultural and media contexts on which such statements were made. The methodology applied to the research is the analysis of the discursive approach, combined with the visual analysis and theories of narrative. / Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as representações de trabalho e de consumo presentes nas narrativas de superação de traumas corporais, que fizeram parte do conjunto de histórias de vida de pessoas comuns apresentadas ao final de cada capítulo da telenovela Viver a Vida (Rede Globo, 2010) e disponibilizadas no Portal da Superação. O quadro teórico que dá suporte a esta pesquisa é baseado nas discussões acerca das relações entre a comunicação, o trabalho e o consumo, assim como do contexto sociocultural e midiático em que tais discursos foram produzidos. Como metodologia aplicada ao corpus da pesquisa, utiliza-se da análise do discurso de linha francesa, combinada com a análise audiovisual e teorias sobre a narrativa.

Miscegenated Narration: The Effects of Interracialism in Women's Popular Sentimental Romances from the Civil War YearsBeeler, Connie 05 1900 (has links)
Critical work on popular American women's fiction still has not reckoned adequately with the themes of interracialism present in these novels and with interracialism's bearing on the sentimental. This thesis considers an often overlooked body of women's popular sentimental fiction, published from 1860-1865, which is interested in themes of interracial romance or reproduction, in order to provide a fuller picture of the impact that the intersection of interracialism and sentimentalism has had on American identity. By examining the literary strategy of "miscegenated narration," or the heteroglossic cacophony of narrative voices and ideological viewpoints that interracialism produces in a narrative, I argue that the hegemonic ideologies of the sentimental romance are both "deterritorialized" and "reterritorialized," a conflicted impulse that characterizes both nineteenth-century sentimental, interracial romances and the broader project of critiquing the dominant national narrative that these novels undertake.

L’Anecdote ou la fabrique du petit fait vrai. Un genre de récit miniature, de Tallemant des Réaux à Voltaire (1650-1756). / The Anecdote : the making of small true facts. A miniature genre, from Tallemant des Réaux to Voltaire (1650-1756).Abiven, Karine 17 November 2012 (has links)
L’objet de cette thèse est de montrer les spécificités de l’anecdote, comme micro-récit à prétention véridique, à partir du milieu du XVIIe siècle. Ce genre de récit a alors connu un essor notable dans les discours émanant des milieux mondains et savants ; au même moment, il devient une des modalités de l’écriture de l’Histoire dans les Mémoires de cour. En constituant un corpus d’échantillons issus de Mémoires, de Vies et d’Ana (recueils de pensées et d’anecdotes), nous dégageons un prototype de cette séquence textuelle. Malgré son air de famille avec l’exemplum, la facétie ou l’apophtegme, l’anecdote s’en distingue par la rétention à la véridicité. Cette propriété s’avère décisive dans une période où l’écriture historique et biographique connaît une reconfiguration rhétorique, à la faveur d’une attention accrue à l’individu et au détail authentique. Mais d’autres traits inhérents à l’anecdote entravent ce souci du vrai. Parce que son usage vise à susciter un affect (rire, surprise), elle est attirée par les formes de l’invention (fiction, plaisanterie, satire). Elle est par ailleurs faite pour circuler, dépourvue de véritable auteur : issue d’un discours oral, elle est transmise par l’écrit, puis souvent extraite en recueils et compilée. En vue d’établir une poétique et une rhétorique de ce genre, nous examinons ses caractéristiques langagières, ses modalités de circulation, et sa manière paradoxale de construire un discours vrai sur l’individu. Nous espérons ainsi contribuer à une histoire des formes, en montrant que l’anecdote prend le relais d’anciens genres de récits brefs à la fin de la première modernité. / The purpose of this work is to define the characteristics of the anecdote, understood as a short non fictitious narrative, from the middle of the 17th century. In that period the anecdote enjoyed a wide popularity amongst scholars and high society, while it became an historiographic form in Memoirs of the court. The analysis of a series of examples taken from Memoirs, Lives and Ana (i.e. collections of thoughts and anecdotes) enables us to outline a textual pattern. In spite of the likeness it bears to the exemplum, the jest and the apothegm, the anecdote differs by its claim to truthfulness. This particularity appears to be essential in the context of a profound transformation of historical and biographical rhetoric, which evolves towards a deeper interest in the individual and the authentic detail. However this aspiration to truthfulness is limited by other characteristics of the anecdote. Insofar as it aims to provoke an emotional reaction (such as laughter or surprise), the anecdote is also linked to more inventive forms (for instance fiction, joke, satire). Besides it is designed for circulation and doesn’t belong to a single author: its oral origin is altered by the process of writing, collecting and compilating. To describe a poetic and rhetoric of this genre, we intend to analyse its linguistic characteristics, the paths of its circulation, and its paradoxical way of producing a truthful statement on the individual. Our work takes part in the history of literary forms and aims to show that the anecdote has replaced ancient forms of brief narratives in early modern French literature and historiography.

Histoires de mariage- Une contribution à l’histoire des formes narratives à la Renaissance : le mariage dans la fiction narrative française (1515-1559) / Marriage stories- A Contribution to the History of Narrative Forms during the Renaissance : Marriage in the French Narrative Fiction (1515-1559)Dion, Laetitia 09 February 2012 (has links)
Les études consacrées à la représentation du mariage dans les textes narratifs au XVIe siècle cherchent le plus souvent à mettre en rapport l’image du lien conjugal construite par les récits avec les débats de l’époque. Nous avons voulu combiner cette approche, relevant davantage de l’histoire des idées, à une analyse des formes littéraires en nous interrogeant sur le rôle joué par le thème du mariage dans les évolutions du genre narratif à la Renaissance.Nous menons notre enquête sur un ensemble de douze fictions narratives en prose, de composition française, écrites entre 1515 et 1559. Durant cette période, le mariage se trouve au cœur de nombreuses controverses théologico-politiques et les regards portés sur la vie conjugale se modifient. En nous appuyant sur un travail de contextualisation historique, nous croisons une approche thématique avec une réflexion sur la poétique narrative pour étudier la structuration des intrigues, la construction des personnages et les dispositifs didactiques et herméneutiques des textes. La comparaison de nos récits à d’autres œuvres – contemporaines ou antérieures, françaises ou étrangères – fait apparaître, au cours de notre période, un renouvellement de la matière narrative autour du mariage. L’accent mis sur certaines situations matrimoniales et les enjeux spécifiques qui leur sont associés à l’époque se révèlent être un ferment favorable à l’apparition de structures narratives innovantes. Le mariage joue en particulier un rôle déterminant dans l’orientation des récits brefs vers le genre de l’histoire tragique et dans l’apparition de formes romanesques originales à travers lesquelles on voit s’élaborer le genre du roman sentimental. / In most cases, studies devoted to the representation of marriage in narrative texts of the 16th century aim to link the image of the marriage bond as elaborated in the narratives to the controversies of the time. In order to show how the theme of marriage has played a part in the development of the narrative genre in the French Renaissance, we have decided to combine such an approach, which is rather based on the history of ideas, with an analysis of literary styles.We have conducted our survey on a set of twelve prose narrative fictions written in French between 1515 and 1559. Marriage was then at the heart of many theological-political controversies and married life started to be seen in a new light. Basing our work on historical contextualization, we have intertwined a thematic approach with a reflection on narrative poetics so as to study the plot structure and characterization as well as the didactic and hermeneutic systems of the texts. Comparing these narratives with other literary works – contemporary or prior, French or foreign – has enabled us to highlight a renewal of the narrative matter related to marriage themes during that period. The emphasis put on certain matrimonial situations and the related specific challenges in those days created favourable grounds for the advent of innovative narrative structures. Marriage stories have particularly contributed to orienting short stories towards the style of tragic stories and to giving birth to original novelistic forms in which the early stirrings of the style of the sentimental novel can be seen.
