9.2 Abstract In this Master's thesis we have attempted to interpret Émile Ajar's novel La Vie devant soi using knowledge based on the psychoanalytic theory of trans-generational transmission. This theory assumes that a person who has been the victim of a traumatic experience cannot consciously refer to it, either through embarrassment or due to the fact that the trauma cannot be referred to verbally. However, he or she can refer to such traumas subconsciously in hints or symbols, precisely because expressing traumas, or their symbolisation in words, is the most effective therapy. If the trauma is not erased, it is transferred further trans-generationally. We consider Émile Ajar's La Vie devant soi to be a suitable work for applying the above- mentioned theory, not only due to the extraordinary life story of the author, but also as concerns the novel itself. Émile Ajar is a pseudonym of the well-known author Romain Gary (born Roman Kacew) who created the character of Émile Ajar in order to write freely regardless of what was expected of Gary as an established author and moreover, a well-known supporter of de Gaulle. As Gary's play on identities was brought to light only after his death, he was the only author to have ever been awarded the Goncourt Prize twice - the second time as Émile Ajar in La Vie devant...

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 246-258) Presents readings of six novels which depict something of the nature of war trauma. Collectively, the novels suggest that the attempt to narrativise war trauma is inherently problematic. Traces the disjunctions between narrative and war trauma which ensure that war trauma remains an elusive and private phenomonen; the gulf between private experience and public discourse haunts each of the novels.

This project begins by examining current trends in the study of medieval literature, particularly in the area of medieval literature dealing with religious conflict. Literary review demonstrates that since the late 20th century, critical examination of medieval literature has been dominated by postcolonial analyses. A dedication to postcolonial analyses, in effect, has stagnated the field of medieval literary analysis, particularly in regard to those texts representing religious differences. By focusing examination on two seminal medieval texts, "The Prioress's Tale" from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and the anonymous Song of Roland, this dissertation argues that traditional, postcolonially-inspired analyses are ineffective and inconsequential for modern, post-9/11 audiences, particularly high school students. More substantial and authentic readings are revealed through an application of Jeffrey Jerome Cohen's monster theory, a hypothesis articulated in his essay "Monster Culture (Seven Theses)" (1996) which, when coupled with conventionally psychoanalytic concepts of psychical reality and jouissance, reveals that the cultural creation of monsters is unchanging across time and culture. By illustrating this phenomenon through the Christian creation of Jewish and Muslim monsters, through literary examinations of "The Prioress's Tale" and Song of Roland respectively, this project hints that the same cultural forces feeding monster creation in the Middle Ages are alive in our modern age in the creation of terrorist monsters. The project culminates by arguing that the most effective way to teach literature of the Middle Ages to post-9/11 students is to focus on literature ripe with religious conflict in order to tap into affective connections to be found between modern students and the people of the Middle Ages. This is a bond best forged through a discussion-driven approach to literary instruction. / A future for medieval studies -- Monster Jews in the creation of the Christian psychical reality -- The necessity of Saracen monsters in the formation of the Christian self -- The future of medieval studies : teaching The prioress's tale and Song of Roland in contemporary high school classrooms. / Department of English

Emma Bovary é a heroina do romance de Gustave Flaubert que termina se suicidando. Este dissertação surgiu a partir de inquetações profissionais que me conduziram a pesquisar pelo viés da Linguística, psicanálise e Literatura, e formular como objetivo geral a errância do desejo e da palavra em Madame Bovary, especificando a relação errante de Emma Bovary com a palavra e a errância do desejo através dos processos metaforonímicos. Esta pesquisa é teórica-empírica e a metodologia que elegemos persegue o rastro freudiano da análise da obra literária Gradiva - uma fantasia pompeiana, cujo título ficou conhecido como Delírios e Sonhos na Gradiva de Jasen (1907 [1906]). Como a investigação teve por alvo da pesquisa uma obra literária, se fez necessário analisar em duas vertentes diferentes: uma que pudesse contemplar essencialmente o aspecto literário, e pela outra vertente, pesquisamos estes mesmos eventos nos campos da Linguística e da Psicanálise. Emma Bovary personifica a figura de uma histérica que, guiada por um não querer saber, tem sua vida calcada na repetição, no retorno dos significantes, como se andasse em círculos, numa espécie de jogo metaforonimico, em busca daquilo que é faltoso, impossível de ser assimilado. Da saída da casa dos pais parao convento, do retorno para o lar paterno; do casamento com Charles Bovary aos adultérios; e das mudanças de cidade em cidade, foi de onde extraímos material para analisar o significante morte, que no romance desliza sobre os significantes cemitério e veneno. A errância com a palavra não permitiu Emma suturar um ponto de basta, ainda que sua avidez pelos romances pudesse propiciar este bem. Na errância do desejo, a deriva, Emma embriaga-se, evenena-se nas paixões, e desliza para o suicídio.

Há nestas narrativas, enquanto exercícios de rememoração, uma grande riqueza que nos permite compreender a trajetória social de indivíduos que sofreram a experiência - única - do trauma. O encarceramento como o centro de suas vidas, o evento que no bem e no mal marcou toda a sua existência. Esse novo modo de fazer literatura - que pode ser chamado de literatura carcerária e/ou das prisões - emerge nos anos 1980, ganhando visibilidade principalmente no início dos anos 1990. Atualmente, vem tendo êxito no mercado editorial, despertando e dividindo o interesse da crítica cultural pelo tema. Portadoras de um teor testemunhal - como as obras de escritores que tratam da experiência judaica nos campos de concentração (Lagers) durante a 11 Guerra Mundial, e de escritores latino-americanos que narram a violência sofrida durante as ditaduras nos anos 1950/60/70 -, tais autobiografias são, antes de tudo, o testemunho do Sobrevivente da Era da Catástrofe, como pode ser resumido o breve século xx / Abstract: This work consists of an analysis of auto-biographical accounts written by individuais who have undergone traumatic experiences with reality in correctional facilities in contemporary Brazil (1970-2000). These accounts, as exercises in recollection, contain a great wealth of material and enable us to better understand the social history of individuais who have undergone a unique experience of trauma. The trauma, in this case, is the experience of imprisonment as the center of their lives, the event that, for better or for worse, marked their entire existence. This new mode of literary production - known as prison literature - arose in the 1980s and took on greater visibility in the early 1990s. It has been successful on the editorial market and aroused the interest of cultural critics of the topic. It has also been the object of some controversy. These autobiographies are similar to the writings of Jews who described their experiences in concentration camps (Lagers) during World War 11, and like a number of Latin-American writers who described the violence they were subjected to during the dictatorships of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Above ali else, the accounts are the testimony of Survivors of the Era of Catastrophe, as the brief 20th century might be called. / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

This dissertation arose from professional inaccuracies that led me to search for the bias of Linguistics, Psychoanalysis and Literature and formulate as general objective the wandering of desire and word in Madame Bovary, specifying Emma Bovary's errant relationship with the word and Wandering of desire through metaphorical processes. This research is theoretical-empirical and the methodology we choose pursues the Freudian trace of the analysis of the literary work "Gradiva - a Pompeian fantasy", whose title was known as "Deliriums and Dreams in Gradiva de Jasen" (1907 [1906]). As the research was a literary work, it was necessary to analyze in two different aspects: one that could essentially contemplate the literary aspect, and the other side, we investigated these same events in the fields of Linguistics and Psychoanalysis. Emma Bovary personifies the figure of a hysteric who, guided by a not wanting to know, has her life based on repetition, on the return of the signifiers, as if she walked in circles, in a kind of metaphorimic game, searching for what is lacking, impossible to Be assimilated. From the departure of the parents' house to the convent, the return to the paternal home; Of marriage with Charles Bovary to adulteries; And from city-to-city changes, it was from which we extracted material to analyze the significant death, which in the novel slips over the significant graveyard and poison. The wandering with the word did not allow Emma to suture a point of sufficient, although its avidity by the novels could propitiate this good. In the wandering of desire, drifting, Emma becomes drunk, even in the passions, and slips into suicide. / Emma Bovary é a heroina do romance de Gustave Flaubert que termina se suicidando.
