For this exam, we will apply the Imaginary criticism, and realize a short explanation about mythic archetypes theories from C.G. Jung, Mircea Eliade, E. Melet?nki and Gilbert Durand, theories that will lead us to make the connection between the mythic constituents and Nietzsche tragic constituents, from which we will explain how these female mythic images associated to reason and unreason mythic constituents, unrolled at the Florbela poetry, also reveal the tragic esthetic at her work / Este trabalho tem como objetivo a an?lise dos desdobramentos das imagens femininas na poesia de Florbela Espanca (1894- 1930) dos tr?s livros publicados pela poetisa Livro de M?goas (1919), Livro de S?ror Saudade (1923) e Charneca em Flor (1931, p?stuma),a partir dos componentes m?ticos femininos de Eva e Lilith que se desenvolvem no decorrer dos tr?s livros, delineando a imagem da poetisa, livre das conven??es sociais e ditames morais do s?culo XX, firmada no ?ltimo livro. Para tal exame, vamos utilizar a cr?tica do Imagin?rio e, com isso, realizaremos uma breve exposi??o acerca das teorias dos arqu?tipos m?ticos, abordando te?ricos como C.G. Jung, Mircea Eliade, E.

Tal proposta justifica-se não apenas por abordar um aspecto pouco estudado em relação à obra selecionada, mas também por possibilitar o levantamento de questões teóricas relevantes em relação ao gênero romance. A metodologia de pesquisa consiste de etapas distintas. Primeiramente, foi feito um levantamento histórico do conceito de trágico, desde o surgimento da Tragédia Grega até sua apropriação pelos filósofos do idealismo alemão pós-kantiano, com o intuito de formular uma concepção sobre o conceito de trágico. Em seguida, discute-se a possibilidade de manifestação do trágico dentro da forma romance, especificamente por meio da figura do herói; para isso, são abordadas possíveis relações entre três obras modelares da literatura moderna: Hamlet, Werther e Mrs. Dalloway. Na terceira etapa do trabalho, são analisados aspectos de O tempo e o vento que situam a obra na tradição do trágico no romance e, ainda, os elementos da narrativa que demonstram o quanto a narrativa de Verissimo pode ser original dentro dessa tradição. Conclui-se, então, que o fator de originalidade da trilogia é a forma de abordagem da questão autoral. Por meio desta, há a mediação do conflito trágico central do romance, além da busca por trazer unidade à realidade representada através do trabalho estético. Sendo assim, o romance mostra-se capaz de conciliar elementos épicos (busca da unidade) e trágicos (processo dialético representado no conflito do herói) / It is this work’s objective to analyze the presence of the tragic element in the novel O tempo e o vento (written by Brazilian novelist Erico Verissimo). The proposal is justified not only because it approaches a seldom studied aspect about the selected work, but also because it enables the surveying of relevant theoretical questions about novel as a literary genre. The research method consists in different steps. First of all it was made a historical survey about the tragic concept, since the raising of Greek Tragedy until its appropriation by the German idealistic philosophers of the post-Kant era, in order to formulate a concept of tragic. Then it is discussed the possibility of tragic manifestation into the novel’s form, specifically through the hero’s figure; in order to illustrate this possible relations, three archetype works of modern literature (Hamlet, Werther and Mrs. Dalloway) are approached. In the third step of this work some aspects of O tempo e o vento are analyzed, in order to situate the novel in a tradition of the tragic into modern novel, and still elements of the narrative which demonstrate the originality of Verissimo’s work to this tradition are also analyzed. So it is concluded that the factor of originality in Verissimo’s trilogy is the form under which the authorial question is approached. It enables the mediation of the central tragic conflict in the novel, and conveys unity to the reality represented throughout the aesthetic work. In doing so the novel shows itself capable of conciliate epic (the pursuit of unity) and tragic (the dialectic process represented in the hero’s conflict) elements

Henry de Montherlant fut un écrivain très prolifique pendant plus de cinquante ans. Son attitude désinvolte et parfois ouvertement provocatrice a agacé et créé de la confusion à propos de son écriture. Cette attitude et la variété de son œuvre dont il semble impossible d'extraire une morale claire ont contribué à l'intérêt porté à son œuvre par les critiques. D’où vient l’importance de mettre la dramaturgie de l'auteur en question pour en dégager un sens précis. Écrire pour le théâtre, genre fondée essentiellement sur le dialogue, était pour Montherlant l’occasion de maintenir sa place d’un écrivain, d’un artiste s’occupant juste de ses mots. Il a suivi un procédé spécifique qui lui a permis d’échapper aux critiques : il s'agit de dire puis de contredire, de faire puis de défaire, de construire puis de détruire ses mots au sein du texte. Notre étude expose ce mouvement ambivalent mais nécessaire pour la continuité de l’œuvre littéraire à travers les composantes essentielles du texte dramatique. Une seule vérité se dessine dans le texte de l’auteur : la destruction continuelle de tout ce qui se construit. Rien ne tient dans ce théâtre, tout s’en va, tout se jette dans le vide. Ce procédé devient un principe qui mène l'écriture de l'auteur vers le tragique comme conséquence logique. Ainsi, écrire sur le rien, le vide, le tragique, devient pour Montherlant le dernier rempart contre la mélancolie de ne rien écrire. De cette manière, l'auteur se met dans une recherche permanente de son identité littéraire en gravitant pour toujours dans l'orbite de la littérature car : « il faut sacrifier tout pour pouvoir continuer à s'exprimer ». L'auteur cherche à atteindre un but précis, celui de rester fidèle à l’image de l'artiste qu'il veut être : « je me renierai pour me retrouver, je me détruirai pour m'atteindre ». / Henry de Montherlant was a prolific writer for more than fifty years. His attitude and his provocative positions have entailed a confusion on his writing. His behaviour and the diversity of his work, from which it is impossible to extract one clear moral has aroused interests from the critics. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the author’s dramaturgy to determine one precise meaning.Writing play grounded on dialogue was an opportunity for Montherlant to establish and comfort his rank as a writer, an artist who only cares for his words. His method consisted in creating specific style which helped him to avoid criticism. In fact, the purpose is to affirm and contradict, to do and undo, to construct and deconstruct his words in the text. Our study reveals this ambiguous but necessary movement for the literary work, through the essential elements of the dramatic text. We can infer from the text of Montherlant that there is only one truth : everything which is built is intended for the endless destruction. Nothing is stable in this theatre, everything goes away and everything is doomed for emptiness. This style becomes a leading principle that drives the author’s writing logically and inevitably to a tragic dimension. Thus writing on nothing, on emptiness and on tragic, is a way for Montherlant to escape from the melancholy of non writing. From this point of view, the author’s personal quest is to seek, relentlessly, his literary identity, always gravitating in the circle of literature because: “you have to scarify everything to be able to keep on expressing yourself”. The author wants to reach a very precise goal which is to be true to himself as an artist : “I will deny myself to find me, I will destroy myself to reach me”.

Eugène Ionesco est un «nouveau classique» dont la dramaturgie est à la fois en rupture avec la dramaturgie traditionnelle et en progrès sur elle, la dramaturgie ionescienne est alors labyrinthique. Les composants de cette dramaturgie sont également labyrinthiques : la construction dramatique, les personnages, le langage, le temps et l'espace. Ce labyrinthe total mène à une absurdité totale celle de l'indécision et de déséquilibre. Pour envisager cette absurdité, l'homme ionescien a recours à la révolte, à l'indifférence et au rêve, mais il se heurte toujours à sa condition tragique d'un errant sans racines ni buts. Il ne lui reste alors que le rire, d'où la naissance d'un comique à la recherche de son identité. C'est le comique problématique d'Eugène Ionesco. L'aspect problématique de ce comique est dû aux points suivants : premièrement, sa naissance dans une ambiance labyrinthique crée l'absurde qui rend incertaine même l'humanité de l'homme. Deuxièmement, ce nouveau comique s'inspire du comique classique de Molière, mais son essence n'est plus d'instruire, de corriger ou de plaire mais de réfléchir. Troisièmement, ce comique révèle la condition tragique de l'homme par des scènes qui augmentent l'angoisse au lieu de la dissiper. Par conséquent, c'est un comique problématique soit par rapport au tragique, soit par rapport au rire qui devient, à son tour, un effet du tragique. C'est pour cette raison que ce comique reste ouvert à de multiples hypothèses même celle de son inexistence. / Eugene Ionesco is a "new classic" which is both dramatic break with the traditional drama and progress on it, the ionesco's dramatic is so labyrinthine. The components of this dramatic are labyrinthine: the dramatic structure, personages, language, time and space. This total maze leads to the utter nonsense of indecision and imbalance. To consider this absurdity, the ionescien man uses the revolt, indifference and dreams, but he still faces his tragic condition of a rootless wanderer or goals. He is left while laughing, hence the birth of a comic in search of his identity. This is the comic problematic of Eugene Ionesco. The problematic of this comic appearance is due to the following points: first, his birth in a labyrinthine environment creates the absurd makes uncertain even the humanity of man. Second, this new comic inspired by the classic Molière comic, but its essence is not to instruct, correct or pleasing but to reflect. Thirdly, the comic reveals the tragic condition of man by scenes that increase anxiety rather than dissipate. Therefore, this problematic is a comic or tragic compared to or relative to laughter becomes, in turn, an effect of tragedy. It is for this reason that this comic remains open to many assumptions even of its nonexistence.

Dans le cadre général d’une interrogation sur le renouvellement de la tragédie classique française à l’époque de la Régence (1715-1723), le travail étudie plus spécifiquement la manière dont la recherche de l’effet tragique conduit à la naissance de la tragédie philosophique. Ce travail prend appui sur l’analyse des pièces représentées à la Comédie-Française au cours de cette période et accorde une attention particulière à leur réception contemporaine dans la presse périodique et dans les brochures. Il envisage d’abord les recherches de renouvellement de la tragédie à partir de deux polémiques, la Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes et la querelle sur la moralité du théâtre, en montrant comment la réflexion sur le théâtre conduit les auteurs à chercher des effets dramatiques mieux adaptés aux attentes d’un public dont la sensibilité évolue au début du XVIIIe siècle. Il établit ensuite que la production d’un plus grand effet est liée, d’une part, à l’intensification de l’effet de terreur à travers la mise en scène du personnage odieux et, d’autre part, à la recherche d’une plus grande action grâce à l’exploitation des éléments du sacré (oracles, prêtres et chœur). Il démontre enfin que, si les impiétés relevées dans un certain nombre de tragédies ne visent qu’à la production d’un plus grand effet, l’Œdipe de Voltaire peut être considéré comme la première tragédie philosophique dans la mesure où le dramaturge met en œuvre une véritable stratégie critique et où les attaques contre la religion sont clairement perçues par le public contemporain. Le travail analyse ainsi de quelle manière les mutations qui affectent le dispositif dramaturgique dans cette quête de l’effet peuvent faire de la tragédie le lieu de la diffusion des idées qui participent de l’émergence des Lumières. Le phénomène est déterminant pour les combats philosophiques à venir ainsi que pour la transformation de la société que les philosophes vont chercher à faire advenir grâce à un support accessible à un large public. / Within the quest of renewal of the French Classical Tragedy of Regency period (1715-1723); the work closely explores the way how looking for a tragic impact leads to the philosophical tragedy birth. This work is grounded on an analysis of the French Comedy dramas performed during this period, but in the process, it gives a special attention to their contemporaneous acceptance in periodicals and brochures. First of all, the work speculates about the tragedy renewal in terms of two polemics – the dispute between Olds and News, and the dispute about theatre morality, but in this process it demonstrates how the thoughts of a theatre lead authors to the searching of the better adapted dramatic impact in view of spectators’ expectation whose sensibility is under evolution in the low of 18th century. Afterwards, the work specifies how the greater impact generating is related to a rising intensity of a great fear through a baddy on the one hand and to the searching for a greater story through numinous elements (prophecy, priesthood and choir) on the other hand. Finally, the work shows the fact how far the blasphemies found in some tragedies are calculated only to make a greater impact, on the contrary the Voltaire’s Oedipus can be considered as the first philosophical tragedy with respect to the fact when a dramatist creates the real critical strategy and to the fact when the tilts at religion are distinctly perceived by contemporary spectators. Thus, the work analyses a phenomenon how the changes related to the dramaturgical “statement” under the impact seeking can change the tragedy into the instrument for dispensing ideas which are a part of the Enlightenment birth. This phenomenon is prevailing both for future philosophical fights and for society transformation whereof philosophers will strive this via a medium available to a general audience.

A circulação de pessoas pelo mundo é facilitada, na contemporaneidade, pelos avanços tecnológicos, porém, ao mesmo tempo, sofre restrições por questões econômicas. Entende-se que a restrição ao ingresso do estrangeiro não mais pode acontecer por decisão totalmente livre do Estado receptor; isso porque as normas internacionais de direitos humanos limitam essa liberdade, ao impedir que ele decida sobre o ingresso de forma desprovida de amarras. Três teorias explicam a relação do Estado com o direito de ingresso. A teoria vitoriana, desenvolvida por Francisco de Vitória, defende que há liberdade total de circulação de pessoas pelo mundo, havendo espaço para restrição tão somente quando a circulação, comprovadamente, causar dano ao Estado receptor do migrante. A teoria do livre arbítrio absoluto do Estado, por sua vez, entende que não existe direito de ingresso e a decisão do Estado não é passível de discussão, pois faz parte do exercício da sua soberania. Atenta às mudanças ocorridas no mundo, inclusive no que tange à soberania, a teoria do controle das decisões estatais, desenvolvida nesta tese, propugna que a decisão tem de ser fundamentada e não pode ignorar os avanços dos direitos humanos e que, portanto, o Estado deve usar a lógica das escolhas trágicas para decidir sobre o ingresso, não havendo mais espaço para uma decisão sem limites. A atuação livre do Estado sofre uma releitura para que suas decisões passem por controle e suas ações sejam interpretadas sob a égide dos direitos humanos. Também experimenta restrições a liberdade dada ao Estado de determinar quem há de se ter por seu nacional, não mais adstrita à sua vontade. São emblemáticos o caso Nottebohm, no qual a Corte Internacional de Justiça impôs limites à concessão de nacionalidade, determinando que ela deve ser contínua, e o caso dos decretos de nacionalidade da Tunísia e do Marrocos, em que a Corte Permanente de Justiça Internacional também se manifestou sobre o tema. Este estudo faz uma análise de como a questão da entrada de estrangeiros é tratada em alguns países do mundo e de como o tema é vislumbrado no Brasil. O trabalho utiliza como fontes de pesquisa a revisão da literatura nacional e estrangeira, a legislação pertinente ao tema, como o Estatuto dos Estrangeiros, a Constituição Federal brasileira, bem como decisões e pareceres consultivos internacionais, além do uso da técnica do direito comparado, exame do direito comparado. / If, on the one hand, technology makes travelling easier, on the other, economic matters restrict peoples movement around the world. This thesis defends that restrictions on foreign entry cannot be let to the States sole discretion anymore. The reason for this is that international Human rights rules limit that discretion, attaching strings to the State action. Three theories explain how the States face the right of entry. First, the Vitorian theory, developed by Francisco de Vitória, defends peoples total freedom of movement around the world, while restrictions to this right would be possible only if enough evidence is shown that the migrant could cause damages to the receiving State. Second, the State Total Discretion theory holds that there is no such thing as a right of entry, and the States decision cannot be questioned, because it is the expression of its sovereignty. Last, responsive to the world changes, including on sovereignty, the theory of the Control of the States Decisions, here developed, argues that the State decision has to be justified on solid grounds, and cannot ignore the development of Human rights. Therefore, the State must use the tragic choices rational in order to decide about ones right of entry, with no room for total discretion. According to this thesis, States decisions have to be controlled and its actions must be interpreted under the Human rights aegis. Moreover, this thesis argues that there cannot be total discretion on States decision of classifying someone as a national or a foreigner. Supporting this idea are the emblematic cases of Nottebohm, on which the International Court of Justice imposed limits to the granting of nationality, upholding that this granting has to be continuous, and the case of nationality decrees of Tunisia and Morocco, on which the Permanent Court of International Justice has spoken on the subject. This study examines how the issue of foreign entry is treated in some Countries, specially in Brazil. To do so, this thesis uses as source the Brazilian and overseas literature contained on books, scientific articles and Law.

Para tanto, parte-se do convívio do pesquisador com as vítimas desde a época da tragédia e também de entrevistas realizadas com cinco delas, que perderam parentes, amigos e bens materiais. Assim, observamos as percepções sobre o fenômeno natural, mas sobretudo nos deparamos com a religiosidade que emerge no contexto do caos instaurado, das perdas e sofrimentos. Busca-se compreender a religião, como questão de sentido de vida, que conduz os indivíduos por uma outra realidade possível, apesar da fatalidade e da brutalidade da tragédia. A religião se apresenta no desejo e nostalgia por um paraíso eterno que produz esperança e força, e encoraja o ser humano a assumir a responsabilidade pela sua vida e pela dos outros. Desse modo, a pesquisa visa compreender os processos de significação religiosa de vítimas de catástrofes naturais. / This research aims to examine the religious experience of victims of the natural disaster in the Rio de Janeiro State mountainous region, in 2011. It is based on the researcher's contact with the victims since the tragedy time and also on interviews with five of them, who have lost relatives, friends and possessions. Thereby, we observed perceptions about the natural phenomenon, but above all we faced a religiosity that emerges in a context of chaos, loss and suffering. This research tries to understand religion as a matter of meaning of life, which leads individuals to another possible reality, despite the fatality and brutality of the tragedy. Religion appears in the desire and nostalgia for an eternal paradise that produces hope and strength, and encourages the human being to take responsibility for his/her life and for the life of others. Therefore, the research aims to understand the processes of religious significance of victims of natural disasters.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The central scope in this doctoral thesis refers to the comparative analysis of dilemmas in moral and legal cases in order to sustain that, genuinely moral dilemmas and genuinely legal dilemmas do not exist. Moreover, those examples which frequently are used and referred to in literature or are part of distinct systems of rules, or are mental creations which serve to evaluate or analyze a system of rules, or yet are false dilemmas (pseudo dilemmas) and, therefore, are perfectly solvable. Thus, we analyze, in Law, the arguments that lead to the classification and ruling of legal cases (in easy, difficult and tragic) and compared them with the arguments involved in moral dilemmas. We assessed whether these cases are real or just ideal, that is, if moral and legal dilemmas indeed exist. We have performed a historical overview on the influence of the main paradigm related to the theme, namely, Legal Positivism and we have presented logical problems (coherence and completeness) of the legal ruling, especially the emergence of gaps. As we have approached the theme of gaps from the vagueness of legal terms and presented the classification and solution of legal cases from Dworkin, Hart, Atienza and MacCormick. Within moral scope, we present a historical overview of the traditional view of moral problems, the interdependence between Moral and Law, we investigate the existence of moral dilemmas of soluble and insoluble type, we expose the problem of decidability of moral cases and present a taxonomy and solution to moral issues in easy, difficult and tragic (dilemmas). Eventually, we developed a comparative table with the four components of moral and legal decisions: on the deliberator, on the object of deliberation, on the decision-making process, and on the result of the deliberation. Forthwith, we describe each of the criteria related to the deliberation components in order to present points of approximation, the differences and connections that may exist among themselves. / O tema central dessa tese de doutorado refere-se à análise comparativa dos dilemas em casos morais e em casos jurídicos com o objetivo de sustentar que dilemas genuinamente morais e dilemas genuinamente jurídicos não existem. Além disso, aqueles exemplos que frequentemente são utilizados e referidos na literatura ou fazem parte de distintos sistemas de normas, ou são criações mentais que servem para avaliar ou analisar um sistema de normas, ou, ainda, são falsos dilemas (pseudo-dilemas) e, portanto, são perfeitamente solucionáveis. Desse modo, analisamos, no Direito, os argumentos que conduzem à classificação e decisão de casos jurídicos (em fáceis, difíceis e trágicos) e os comparamos aos argumentos relacionados aos dilemas morais. No âmbito jurídico, realizamos um apanhado histórico da influência do principal paradigma relacionado ao tema, a saber, o Positivismo Jurídico; apresentamos os problemas lógicos (coerência e completude) da decisão jurídica, em especial o surgimento das lacunas; abordamos o tema das lacunas a partir da vaguidade dos termos jurídicos e apresentamos a classificação e solução de casos jurídicos a partir de Dworkin, Hart, Atienza e MacCormick. No âmbito da moral, apresentamos um apanhado histórico da visão tradicional de problemas morais, a interdependência entre Moral e Direito, investigamos a existência de dilemas morais do tipo solúvel e insolúvel, expomos o problema da decidibilidade de casos morais e apresentamos uma taxonomia e solução de casos morais em fáceis, difíceis e trágicos (dilemas). Por fim, elaboramos um quadro comparativo com quatro componentes das deliberações moral e jurídica: quanto ao deliberador, ao objeto de deliberação, ao processo de deliberação, e ao resultado da deliberação. Em seguida, descrevemos cada um dos critérios relacionados aos componentes da deliberação a fim de apresentar os pontos de aproximação, as diferenças, e conexões que podem existir entre os mesmos.

Julien Green a avoué avoir recours à l’art pour y enfermer tout ce que le monde lui offrait de déplaisant, voire d’inquiétant. Son équilibre mental dépendait de cette démarche créative et cathartique. Une telle expérience a fait surgir un univers tourmenté, dominé par des forces maléfiques dont l’influence voue les êtres au tragique. Dans une logique tout d’abord conventionnelle, les figures féminines apparaissent comme l’image la plus visible d’influences néfastes. Leur drame provient de l’obsession extrême d’un corps porté à les trahir. Qu’elles soient laides ou belles, l’attachement à leur image mine l’existence des héroïnes et les voue à la déchéance, car elles deviennent le champ de bataille où les forces du bien et du mal s’opposent. Elles sont alors pour Green le support privilégié d’une réflexion qui sonde la profondeur de l’imprégnation tragique des récits de fiction.L’encadrement social et religieux apparaît comme une forme de protection de la femme face au mal auquel elle semble promise. Mais la soumission aux normes bourgeoises s’avère pernicieuse : elle enferme les êtres sur eux-mêmes et nourrit fatalement en eux les caractéristiques propices au développement d’un mal dont l’évolution se révèle incontrôlable. En dépit de la charge négative attribuée à nombreuses de ses héroïnes, Green dépasse la représentation misogyne première. La femme bénéfique, souvent imparfaite mais purifiée par les peines endurées, par son besoin de vivre dans la vérité, devient le signe discret d’une ouverture face au tragique. Par sa présence Green parvient à introduire subtilement dans ses romans l’espérance chrétienne, sans rendre son œuvre édifiante. / Julien Green admitted turning to art to encompass everything in the world he found unpleasant or even worrying. His mental well-being depended on this creative and cathartic practice. It brought to the forefront a tormented universe dominated by malevolent forces, with tragic consequences for those involved.In accordance with conventional logic, female characters are portrayed as bearing the brunt of these harmful influences. Their drama springs from an obsession with their bodies which is destined to betray them. Be they ugly or beautiful, their attachment to their image undermines them as heroines and dooms them to failure, for they become the battlefield on which the forces of good and evil are opposed. For Green they are the preferred medium through which he fathoms the depths of the tragic in his works of fiction. The social and religious setting of the novels may appear to be a form of protection for women in the face of the evil which awaits them. But their compliance to the norms of the bourgeoisie proves to be harmful: it imprisons them within themselves and, fatally, engenders characteristics which lead to the development of an evil which proves to be out of control.In spite of the negative charges against numerous of his heroines, Green rises above simple misogyny. The altruistic woman, often far from perfect, but tempered by hardships endured, becomes, by her need to live the truth, a discreet sign of hope in the face of tragedy. It is through his female characters that Green succeeds in introducing subtly the notion of Christian hope in his novels, without making his work 'edifying'.

Dans les sciences humaines, le travail du négatif est une notion qui appartient surtout aux domaines philosophiques et psychanalytiques. En tenant compte de cette filiation, sa pertinence dans le champ littéraire se révèle également effective. En effet, lorsque l’on confronte l’idée à l’œuvre romanesque de Réjean Ducharme, l’action du travail du négatif rend compte des enjeux souterrains de cette écriture. Ainsi, le texte apparaît comme le lieu de l’instabilité où chacune des composantes donne à voir son envers et où les contradictions coexistent. Dans cette dynamique, les trois catégories du récit vacillent : elles sont sculptées dans une autre matière que celle qu’on leur assigne généralement. Dans un même élan, le style ducharmien s’empare du travail du négatif en défigeant le mot, en resémantisant la phrase, en offrant à la parole le pouvoir d’avoir un impact sur le réel. Tout est conçu pour échapper à la fixité. Construits de la sorte, les romans véhiculent une vision du monde tragique. Cette dernière, à travers l’acte de lecture, se voit pétrie par le grotesque et engendre alors un fatum qui s’apparente à l’uniformisation. Cette réalité dévoile, paradoxalement, un univers en déséquilibre qui fait écho à l’étymologie du mot baroque, « perle irrégulière ». Le texte ducharmien est donc le carrefour de plusieurs esthétiques qui possèdent toutes, en leur essence, un mouvement semblable au travail du négatif. Celui-ci peut être perçu, dans tous les cas, comme un révélateur de littérarité. Il opère, d’ailleurs, de cette manière, dans d’autres œuvres francophones, notamment dans celles de Rachid Boudjedra, de Maurice Bandaman et de Dominique Rolin. / In Human Sciences, the work of the negative is a concept which mainly belongs to the philosophical and psychoanalytical fields. Taking into account this relationship, its relevance in the literary field also proves effective. Indeed, when this notion is applied to the novels of Réjean Ducharme, the action of the work of the negative reveals the underground stakes of the author’s work. Thus, his writing takes us constantly back and forth between all the opposed elements which populate it. Ducharme’s texts are a place of instability, where each component shows its hidden side and where contradictions shaped by the process of involution coexist. Within this dynamic, the narrative mode loses its equilibrium: time, space and characters are sculpted with very unusual clay. In the same spirit, Ducharme’s writing style seizes the work of the negative by loosening words, and giving a new meaning to sentences, by offering to the word the power of having an impact on reality. Everything is designed to escape immobility. Novels built on this pattern convey a tragic vision of the world; a vision which through the act of reading finds itself steeped in the grotesque and therefore generates a fatum, which is very similar to sameness. Paradoxically, this reality unveils an unbalanced world and echoes the baroque word "irregular pearl" in its etymological meaning. Ducharme’s writing is at a crossroad between several aesthetics, whose quintessential principles are similar to the work of the negative. The latter can be perceived as an indicator of literariness and can be found in some of other French works, including those of Rachid Boudjedra, Maurice Bandaman and Dominique Rolin.
