Ce travail interroge les espaces traversés dans les trois romans suivants du poète-romancier vagabond Louis-Philippe Dalembert : L’autre face de la mer (1998), Avant que les ombres s’effacent (2017) et Mur Méditerranée (2019). Le mémoire s’ouvre sur une rétrospective de la vie et de l’itinéraire littéraire de l’écrivain avant de poser les bases des enjeux critiques autour desquels la réflexion sur les espaces s’articule. Le premier chapitre intitulé « Étendue des lieux » expose le rôle actif du sujet constituant en traversée dans le lieu habité. L’analyse des représentations de la maison d’enfance, de la ville, du pays, de l’océan et de la mer ainsi que des frontières souligne alors une instabilité du « lieu ». Le chapitre « Épaisseurs de temps » présente la notion de temps en tant que conditionnement linguistique cherchant à dire la relation fondamentale de l’individu avec l’espace vécu, nommé par Dalembert le « pays-temps ». Les allers-retours de la mémoire révèlent ainsi leur portée stratégique et l’Histoire devient un amalgame d’expériences subjectives dont la transmission est dépendante de leur mise en récit(s). Le dernier chapitre, « Échos de langues », questionne la langue même de Dalembert, puis celles dans lesquelles évoluent ses personnages. Les espaces partagés que sont la prière et les chants dévoilent un imaginaire créole du monde et soulignent la corporéité du langage. Avec les penseurs de « l’entre-deux » issus de la pensée postcoloniale et de la philosophie contemporaine, ce travail est traversé par une réflexion d’ordre éthique sur l’irréductible présence du sujet constituant dans le monde sensible, traduisant une relation perpétuellement à faire. / This work interrogates the spaces crossed in the following three novels by the vagabond poetnovelist Louis-Philippe Dalembert : L’autre face de la mer (1998), Avant que les ombres s’effacent (2017) and Mur Méditerranée (2019). The memoir opens with a retrospective of the writer’s life and literary itinerary before laying the groundwork for the critical issues around which the reflection on spaces is articulated. The first chapter entitled “Étendue des lieux” exposes the active role of the constituent subject crossing the inhabited place. The analysis of the representations of the childhood home, the city, the country, the ocean and the sea as well as the borders expresses then the instability of the “place”. The chapter “Épaisseurs de temps” presents the notion of time as a linguistic conditioning that seeks to express the fundamental relationship of the individual with the lived space, named by Dalembert the “pays-temps”. The back and forth of memory thus reveals its strategic significance and History becomes an amalgam of subjective experiences whose transmission depends on their narrative(s). The last chapter, “Échos de langues”, questions Dalembert’s own language, and then those in which his characters evolve. The shared spaces of prayer and song reveal a creole imaginary of the world and emphasize the corporeality of language. With the thinkers of the “in-between” from postcolonial studies and contemporary philosophy, this work is crossed by an ethical reflection on the irreducible presence of the constituent subject in the sensitive world, translating a relation perpetually to be made.

<p><i>Children of Globalization: Diasporic Coming-of-age Novels in Germany, England, and the United States </i>is an exploration of contemporary Diasporic Coming-of-age Novels written in the context of globalized and de facto multicultural societies. Framed in the long tradition of <i>Bildungsroman </i>studies, this study illuminates the structural transformations that the coming-of-age genre has undergone in contemporary diasporic communities. <i>Children of Globalization</i> analyzes the complex identity formation of first- and subsequent-generation migrant protagonists in globalized rural and urban environments and dissects the implications that these diasporic formative processes have for the tercentennial genre. While the most traditional iteration of the <i>Bildungsroman </i>genre follows male middle-class heroes who forge their identities in a process of complex introspection to become citizens and workers, contemporary Diasporic Coming-of-age Novels represent formative processes that fit into, resist, or even disregard, narratives of nationhood. Recent changes in the global genre are the direct consequence of the intricacies of the formative processes of culturally-hybrid protagonists who must negotiate their access into adulthood and citizenship, and puzzle over sexuality and gender identity, in host societies that at times regard them with contempt and distrust. The study spans three centuries as it traces both perennial and volatile elements of the genre through its contemporary state. In doing so, it identifies thematic and structural seeds which, planted through the centuries in varied locations, have bloomed into nuanced explorations of the self in an interconnected world where regional and national definitions of identity are increasingly contested and in flux.</p><p>In order to contextualize the genre and provide evidence of its enduring malleability, the study begins in Germany, tracing what I term Proto-<i>Bildungsromane, </i>long medieval narrative poems that follow the formative processes of knights and heroes in grandiose style. Wolfram von Eschenbach’s thirteenth-century poem <i>Parzival </i>and the coeval Gottfried von Straßburg’s <i>Die Geschichte der Liebe von Tristan und Isolde </i>ponder the development of the self but too heavily rely on destiny to be considered <i>Bildungsromane. </i>Still in Germany, I illustrate the fundamental characteristics of the genre in Wolfgang von Goethe’s <i>Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre. </i>In order to showcase the flexibility of the genre, I analyze its early transformations in England in prominent works by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and E. M. Forster. The last four chapters focus on the exciting development of Diasporic Coming-of-age Novels in England, the United States, and Germany. Despite the stark differences between these societies and the particular cultural wealth of diasporic groups that have migrated there, the Diasporic Coming-of-age Novel has enabled sophisticated explorations of identity and belonging in all three countries. As the chapter summaries show, contemporary writers have used the Diasporic Coming-of-age Novel to untangle complicated formative processes, understand the expectations of their social environments, and achieve different levels of belonging and maturity.</p><p>With <i>Children of Globalization, </i>I seek to deepen our understanding of the exciting influence that contemporary diasporic movements have on the coming-of-age genre in particular and literary studies in general. Additionally, it is my hope that the exploration of Diasporic Coming-of-age Novels contributes to a capacious understanding of the important role of literature in the study of migration.</p>

Écrites dans le vague souvenir des romans d’apprentissage du début de l’ère industrielle, les œuvres de Marcel Proust, Osman Lins, Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul, Joyce Carol Oates et Roberto Bolaño reviennent avec mélancolie à une question qui marque la modernité : comment tracer l’histoire de l’arrivée dans une grande ville ? À la Recherche du temps perdu et Blonde examinent des rituels mondains au sein des capitales transformées par la guerre. L’absence d’ordre produit des fils énigmatiques, à l’image du kaléidoscope, de la spirale, du labyrinthe et de la cité de sable, ces dispositions s’appliquant à l’écriture de l’espace urbain et du récit qui y conduit. L’Énigme de l’arrivée les relie aux problématiques de la migration, de la langue mondiale et de l’empire multiculturel qui se consolide dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. L’œuvre de Lins fait converger l’urbanité, l’ésotérisme et des mondanités intellectuelles : l’imitation, la citation, la bibliographie. L’urbain devient une satire chez Bolaño : ses arrivistes et ses carriéristes, qui sont des poètes et des professeurs de littérature, appartiennent à la famille des meurtriers de masse. La nostalgie du roman d’apprentissage urbain, désormais sous le signe du regret, demande une réévaluation intégrale. Alors que la métaphore végétale indique des processus stylistiques de décomposition qui joignent la désurbanisation et l’émergence de la vie de l’esprit, l’écriture des plantes peut conduire plus largement à de nouvelles possibilités d’individuation, moins motivées par la pulsion mondaine qui caractérise les récits capitalistes, et plus discrètement marquées par l’inscription non instrumentale et involontaire, autrement violente, dans la nature. / Written with the vague memory of the novels of formation of the beginning of the industrial era, the novels of Marcel Proust, Osman Lins, Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul, Joyce Carol Oates and Roberto Bolaño return with melancholy to a question that has marked modernity: how do we record the story of the arrival in a big city? In Search of Lost Time and Blonde examine the worldly rituals at the heart of the capitals transformed by war. The absence of order produces enigmatic forms: in the image of the kaleidoscope, the spiral, the labyrinth and the city of sand, these forms arrange the writing of the urban space and the narrative that leads into it. The Enigma of Arrival links those processes to the problematics of migration, global language and the multicultural empire that has taken shape during the second half of the twentieth century. The work of Lins brings together urbanity, esoterism and elements of intellectual worldliness: imitation, quotation, bibliography. The urban becomes a satire in Bolaño: his arrivistes and his careerists, who are poets and teachers of literature, belong to the family of mass murderers. The novel of urban formation, now available only as a lost object, a target for nostalgia under the sign of regret, merits thorough reevaluation. Seeing that the vegetal metaphor points to stylistic processes of decomposition that bring together de-urbanization and the emergence of the life of the mind, the writing of plants may lead to new possibilities of individuation, less motivated by the worldly pulsion that characterizes capitalistic narratives, and bearing more discreet traces of the non-instrumental and involuntary, more violent inscription into nature.

Archiv bezeichnet eine Einrichtung, in der Schriftstücke, Dokumente, Akten und andere Zeugnisse gesammelt, geordnet, bewahrt und restauriert werden. Archive erfüllen als Verwaltungs- und Erinnerungsorte eine Vielzahl von Funktionen und sind eng mit institutioneller Macht verschränkt. Kulturwissenschaftliche Analysen zeigen, dass analoge und digitale Archive bestimmten Akteur*innen mehr Raum und Sichtbarkeit gewähren als anderen. Dabei strukturieren soziale Kategorien wie gender, race und class den Zugang zum und den Eingang ins Archiv. Eine intersektionale Heterogenisierung des Archivs wird in Teilen der Wissenschaft sowie von privaten Initiativen deshalb angestrebt, löst aber auch Kritik aus.

Cette étude porte sur le fait littéraire afro-antillais de l’ère coloniale (1920-1960). Il s’agit d’examiner les stratégies des agents à partir des cas de René Maran, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant et Mongo Beti et de percevoir comment ils se définissent leur identité littéraire et sociale. Pour ce faire, notre démarche s’articule en deux temps : (1) examiner les conditions de possibilité d’un champ littéraire afro-antillais à Paris (colonisation française et ses effets, configuration d’un champ littéraire pré-institutionnalisé, etc.) ; (2) analyser les processus de consolidation du champ, ainsi que les luttes internes qui opposent deux tendances émergentes représentées d’abord par Senghor et Césaire, ensuite par Beti et Glissant, dont les prises de position littéraires mettent en œuvre des « modèles empiriques » ; ceux-ci régulent et unifient leurs rapports au monde et à l’Afrique. This study relates to afro-carribean literature in colonial period (1920-1960). We want to examine the strategies of agents like René Maran, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant and Mongo Beti ; and we want to understand how they invente literary and social identity. Our approach is structured in two steps: we shall analyse (1) the conditions for an afro-carribean literary field to appear in Paris (french colonialism and its consequences, configuration of literay field...) ; (2) the consolidation of this field and the internal struggles between two tendances represented by Senghor and Césaire, by Glissant and Beti whose literary practice shows the “empirical model” that regularizes and consolidates their relation with the world and Africa.

This thesis examines how cultural competency operates as a regime of governmentality. Inspired by Foucauldian genealogy, institutional ethnography, and Said’s concept of contrapuntality, this thesis problematizes the seamless production of racialized bodies in relation to mental disorder. I begin by elaborating a theoretical framework for interpreting race and madness as mutually constructed ordering practices. I then analyze what cultural competence produces and sustains in a position paper published by the Ontario Federation of Community Mental Health and Addiction Programs. I argue the Federation dismisses ongoing institutional violence—suggesting it is simply the perception, as opposed to the everyday reality, of discrimination that causes problems such as low educational attainment among youth of colour. To further support this claim, I deconstruct narratives of low self-esteem, maladaptive coping, depression, and denial of mental illness in the community needs assessments of two of the Federation’s member organizations: Hong Fook and Across Boundaries.
