La coprésence de langues dans le roman antillais contemporain / The pluri-language writing in the contemporary west indian novel

Stampfli, Anaïs 04 July 2016 (has links)
La coprésence de langues dans le roman antillais contemporain. Le roman francophone est souvent considéré comme le lieu d’enjeux stratégiques concernant la coprésence d’usages de langue(s). À cet égard, les Antilles présentent une situation tout à fait originale dans laquelle une “cacophonie” pourrait être envisagée comme un moyen d’expression des différentes tensions (narratives, énonciatives ou linguistiques) qui habitent le texte, avec toutes les conséquences que cela peut entraîner pour les lecteurs potentiels. Il s’agit pour les rédacteurs de L’Éloge de la créolité d’aller à l’encontre des attentes de clarté du lecteur pour préserver sans altération aucune une identité multiple. Cependant, d’autres auteurs antillais francophones tels que Simone Schwarz-Bart, Maryse Condé et Daniel Maximin, ne partagent pas le point de vue des signataires de l’Éloge. Bien que leur écriture soit marquée par une certaine présence créole, ils considèrent que l’identité linguistique antillaise ne peut pas se réduire à une confrontation du créole et du français. Pour ces auteurs, il ne s’agit pas de reconquérir le français en le créolisant. Par conséquent, ce travail de thèse consistera à analyser la structure linguistique du roman antillais francophone en prenant autant en compte les différents partis pris des auteurs ainsi que la réception et les transpositions tentées par les traducteurs. Cette étude propose une mise en perspective de l’écriture en coprésence de langues en mettant en relation les œuvres des auteurs antillais contemporains avec des tentatives antérieures de superposition de langues et des écritures créolisées issues d’autres sphères linguistiques. Ces recherches permettront de saisir les influences et la portée de l’écriture en coprésence de langues des romanciers antillais contemporains. / The Pluri-language Writing in the Contemporary West Indian NovelThe francophone novel is often regarded as field of strategic issues as to the pluri-language writing. In this respect, West Indies offer a very peculiar situation in which “cacophony” could be considered as a way for various strains (narrative, enunciative and linguistic) to express themselves within the textual frames, with many consequences for the potential readers. For the writers of In Praise of Creoleness, it means deceiving the reader’s expectations of clarity to preserve unaltered a multiple identity.Nevertheless, other West Indian francophone writers such as Simone Schwarz-Bart, Maryse Condé and Daniel Maximin, do not share this point of view. Although their writing is marked by a certain Creole presence, they assert that West Indian linguistic identity can not be summarised in the confrontation of Creole and French. According to them, the point is not to reconquer French through creolization.This thesis thus aims to analyze the linguistic structure of West Indian francophone novel with respect both to its different writers’ stances, its reception and the transpositions tempted by the translators.This study proposes a contextualization of the plurilingual texts through a confrontation of the works of the contemporary West Indian authors with the previous overlapping languages attempts and creolized writings stemming of the other linguistic spheres.This research will allow to seize the influences and impacts of the pluri-language writing of the contemporary West Indian novelists.

Essays on Bank Opaqueness

D'Udekem D'Acoz, Benoit 02 September 2020 (has links) (PDF)
Opaqueness is inherent to financial institutions but contributes to the fragility of the banking system. The archetypal assets held by banks, loans, have a value that cannot be properly communicated outside of a banking relationship (Sharpe 1990; Rajan 1992). Because they are relationship specific and raise adverse selection concerns, these assets are illiquid (Diamond and Rajan 2001). However, these assets are financed with liquid deposits; uncertainty about their value can cause depositors to withdraw their funds and banks to topple (Calomiris and Kahn 1991; Chen 1999). Additionally, the combination of opaqueness and leverage creates moral hazard incentives, exacerbated by government guarantees, as well as other agency conflicts that are detrimental to stability (Jensen and Meckling 1976).This dissertation presents three original contributions on the consequences of bank opaqueness. The first contribution concerns financial analysts. We show that, unlike in other industries, the most talented sell-side analysts are no more likely than their peers to issue recommendation revisions that influence bank stock prices. However, star analysts appear to maintain influence by uncovering firm-specific bad news that induces sharp negative revaluations of bank stock prices. In the second contribution, we find that the persistence of bank dividend policies increases with agency conflicts between shareholders and managers and decreases in the presence of large institutional shareholders who have an incentive to monitor banks and to mitigate agency conflicts. Our third contribution assesses the competitive distortions in bond markets since the recent reforms of the European Union bank safety net. We find that nationalized systemic banks, and those that benefit from high bailout expectations, do not benefit from funding advantages compared to their peers. Our findings also suggest that bailout expectations for these banks have diminished, consistent with new regulatory frameworks enacted after the financial crisis being effective.Overall, our findings suggest that opaqueness presents formidable challenges for public authorities but that its consequences can be mitigated by credible regulation. / Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
