La criminalité féminine est interrogée dans cette thèse sous l'angle de l'épistémologie clinique. La référence d'épistémologie clinique est ici celle de la théorie de la médiation initiée par Jean Gagnepain. Cette thèse envisage la criminalité féminine en mettant en perspective la biologie, la psychopathologie et la sociologie. En premier lieu est envisagé la spécificité du féminin dans la sexuation et la sexualité, puis dans le crime. La thèse est que les gemes féminin et masculin sont structuralement épicènes, et que la différence sexuelle biologique est réintroduite conjoncturalement dans le politique. Le politique dans la majorité des pays et des civilisations hormis l'ancienne Egypte et les pays scandinaves, ont toujours inscrits la femme en situation de minorât et d'insolite, voire de personne incomplète. La construction de savoir sur le féminin induit d'analyser les conditions anthropologiques de l'élaboration. Suit un recensement des modes de construction du féminin dans l'antiquité, à travers les mythes et la condition sociale de la femme. Cette perspective permet une comparaison de la détermination du féminin, ainsi que du masculin, et au-delà des modes mythiques et scientifiques de la détermination anthropologique. La deuxième partie propose une analyse située dans l'institutionnel prenant en charge la femme criminelle. Institutionnel que Jean Gagnepain nomme pouvoir modulaire, regroupant le didactique, le thérapeutique et le juridique. La troisième et dernière partie est consacrée aux illustrations cliniques des hypothèses

A partir des deux romans d'Ángeles Mastretta, Arráncame la vida et Mal de amores - dont la publication est séparée par un écart de dix ans - nous nous attachons à montrer comment le personnage féminin répond à un projet spécifique de représentation et d'écriture. Notre étude met en relief aussi bien la variété des personnages constituant le " personnel " des deux romans que les constantes nous permettant d'établir un " système de personnages " qui répond à l'exploration d'une thématique chère à la romancière : le statut de la femme dans la société, ses possibilités d'action ainsi que les relations de couple, qui occupent une place importante dans l'œuvre romanesque de Mastretta. La première partie de cette analyse met en évidence la suprématie du personnage féminin dans l'espace textuel qui lui est consacré, tout en démontrant l'importance des personnages masculins dans la construction de figures féminines transgressives. La deuxième partie de cette étude propose d'examiner comment les figures romanesques s'inscrivent dans un espace et une Histoire essentiels à la construction et la représentation d'un nouveau regard portant aussi bien sur des espaces traditionnellement hostiles (présents dans les textes pour être subvertis) que sur la retranscription de faits fondamentaux de l'histoire mexicaine, proposant un nouveau regard sur l'Histoire. Enfin, la troisième partie s'attache à souligner l'originalité d'une écriture qui, sous l'apparence de la légèreté et la simplicité, produit de nombreux effets de sens grâce à l'humour et à l'ironie, au mélange de genres littéraires et aux références à la culture populaire.

Seppur premiata da una fortuna minore rispetto a quella occorsa alle opere narrative, la produzione teatrale di Svevo rappresenta una parentesi determinante della sua carriera letteraria: il triestino, infatti, ci ha lasciato un corpus teatrale significativo, composto da tredici copioni, distribuiti su un arco biografico che si estende dal 1880, anno dell’Ariosto governatore, fino ad arrivare, con La rigenerazione, agli anni immediatamente precedenti alla morte. Si consideri, inoltre, che quella per il teatro fu una passione che accompagnò Svevo per l’intera esistenza, sia come frequentatore di spettacoli tanto in Italia quanto all’estero, sia come critico per le più importanti testate triestine. Per questi motivi, è parso opportuno in questo lavoro di ricerca tornare su un tema – quello delle commedie di Svevo – meno considerato dalla critica. Nella prima sezione della tesi, intitolata Svevo e il teatro, dopo un rapido profilo della critica e della storia delle rappresentazioni, si è cercato di delineare i confini del rapporto che unì Svevo al mondo del palcoscenico. Nella seconda sezione di del lavoro, intitolata Trasgressione, ribellione e falsificazione nel teatro sveviano, sono state prese in analisi le pièces del triestino; le commedie sono state raggruppate in base a tre nuclei tematici: trasgressione, ribellione e falsificazione. / Although rewarded by a minor fortune than that which occurred to the novels, Svevo’s plays are a determinant parenthesis of his literary career: in fact, the writer has left thirteen commedies, distributed over a biographical arch which extends from 1880, the year of Ariosto governatore, up to, with La rigenerazione, the years immediately preceding his death. Consider, too, that the theater was a passion that accompanied Svevo for the whole of life, both as a frequenter of shows in Italy and abroad, both as a critic for the most important newspapers in Trieste. For these reasons, it seemed appropriate in this research back on a theme - that of Svevo’s plays - less regarded by critics. In the first section of the thesis, entitled Svevo e il teatro, after a short outline of the criticism and of the history of representations, we tried to delineate the borders of the relationship that joined Svevo to the world of the stage. In the second section of the work, entitled Trasgressione, ribellione e falsificazione nel teatro sveviano, were taken into analysis the plays; comedies were grouped according to three themes: transgression, rebellion and forgery.

Early modern representations of witchcraft have been the subject of considerable recent scholarship; however, three significant aspects of the corpus have not received sufficient attention and are treated independently here for the first time. This dissertation will examine how witchcraft imagery invited discourse concerning the reality of magic and witchcraft and suggested connections to contemporary issues through the themes of the witch’s violent autonomy, bestial passions, and unnatural interactions with the demonic and the dead. These three themes address specific features of the multifaceted identity of the witch and participate in a larger discussion that questioned the nature of humanity. Analysis of each issue reveals a complex, ambiguous, and often radically open treatment of the subject that necessitates a revision of how witchcraft imagery from this period is understood. Each understudied aspect of witchcraft imagery is explored through a series of case studies that have not appeared together until now. Previously unexamined artworks with inventive content are introduced and canonical pictures are examined from new perspectives. These images were created in the principal artistic centers, the Italian city-states, the German provinces, and the Low Countries, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the controversy over witchcraft was at its peak. Although they are few in number, these highly innovative images are the most effective and illuminating means by which to access these themes. These works of art provide valuable insights into important issues that troubled early modern society. Chapter 1 reveals how witchcraft imagery produced in the Low Countries is concerned with the witch’s violent rejection of the social bonds and practices upon which the community depends for survival. Chapter 2 examines how the figure of the witch was used to explore concerns about the delineation and transgression of the human-animal boundary. Chapter 3 exposes an interest in the physical possibility of witchcraft; artists questioned the ability of witches and demons to manipulate the material world. Issues include the witches’ capacity to reanimate dead bodies and create monstrous creatures. Together these images demonstrate active and meaningful engagement with the theories, beliefs, and practices associated with witchcraft.

在這篇研究阿蘭達蒂•洛伊《微物之神》之再現與踰越的論文中，筆者所要探討的主題有二，第一點旨在分析作者如何透過雙胞胎女孩的稚氣觀察去敘事，呈現出印度南方小鎮中，一家族興落的故事。筆者藉由霍米•巴巴的殖民學舌和含混將小說中的後殖民景狀加以探討；第二點以佳亞特麗•史碧娃克的第三世界女性觀點，探討小說中阿慕的踰越社會加諸於女性之限制。尤其在殖民後的印度，女性的角色並未因解殖民而提高或改善，故其跨越性別邊界及限制之舉，實為後殖民女性自覺與自我定位之肯定。 第一章筆者將阿蘭達蒂之生長背景及寫作過程作簡要之介紹。第二章筆者將後殖民印度之文學情況與阿蘭達蒂之寫作特色做一連結及闡述。第三章筆者提出霍米•巴巴之殖民學舌及含混敘述小說中重要之片段。第四章筆者以佳亞特麗•史碧娃克於文章「賤民能否發言？」中對第三世界女性所受之同質化等之不平對待，引出小說中作者所要表達的議題。以小說中阿慕為例，筆者闡述後殖民女性應有超越束縛之意識，並進而達成自我的定位。第五章，筆者對《微物之神》之標題做出自己之見解，並總論此篇研究所欲達到之景境。 / In the study of Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things, I focus on two essential aspects: representation and transgression. The first concern lies in the author’s linguistic and literary presentation that is closely related to Homi K. Bhabha’s colonial mimicry and hybridity in the novel. My second concern is related to Gayatri C. Spivak’s postcolonial feminist thoughts and Ammu’s transgressive behaviors. In the first chapter, I offer an epitome of the thesis. The themes of biology and transgression expressed by the author testify to the postcolonial tasks of demolishing the authorized norm and praising the indigenous aesthetics. The literary and sexual transgressions in and of the novel illustrate the abatement of confinements and the liberation of the mind and body. The second chapter of the thesis discusses literary issues in postcolonial India that are closely related to Arundhati Roy’s novel and writing. In the third chapter, I further develop Homi K. Bhabha’s theories of mimicry and hybridity that accentuate literary strategies in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things. The fourth chapter has deeply explored on Gayatri C. Spivak’s postcolonial feminist thoughts and analyzed the transgressors that break up the social bonds in the novel. In the final chapter, I explain the novel’s title with the stress on indigenous aesthetics and the ensuing change of little discourse.

Esses aspectos dizem respeito à desarticulação da forma romanesca tradicional e do discurso linear e lógico, e ainda aos posicionamentos ideológicos e comportamentais do protagonista. Para nortear esta análise, utilizamos a teoria da carnavalização de Mikhail Bakhtin, teórico que observa as manifestações literárias tendo em vista as transgressões verificadas durante as festividades carnavalescas, que estabelecem uma “vida às avessas”, na qual inexistem as regras cotidianas e as relações hierárquicas vivenciadas no universo “extra-carnavalesco”. Nesse sentido, buscamos vislumbrar a referida obra de Campos de Carvalho enquanto objeto literário transgressor e dessacralizador, na medida em que a perspectiva narrativa reflete a visão de mundo de um narrador supostamente “louco” que (re)cria uma realidade inusitada, o avesso da “normalidade”, um mundo, segundo nossa hipótese, carnavalizado. / This dissertation is an analysis of the transgressive aspects in A lua vem da Ásia, by Campos de Carvalho. These aspects are related to the disarticulation of both the traditional novel structure and the linear and logical discourse, as well as of the ideologic and behavioural positions of the main character. This analysis is based upon Mikhail Bakhtin`s carnivalization theory, whose examination of literary manifestations is carried on with regard to the transgressions observed during the carnival festivities, which establish a ‘wrong life’ in which everyday rules and hierarchical relations experienced in the ‘extracarnival’ world are inexistent. Thus we consider Campos de Carvalho`s book as a transgressive and desacralizing literary work, in the sense that the narrative perspective reveals the world of a supposed ‘lunatic’ narrator who (re)creates an unusual reality, the opposite of ‘normality’: in our proposal, a carnivalized world.

C’est parce qu’il existe historiquement un fonds commun, le christianisme, que les films de Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) peuvent communiquer par l’intermédiaire du sacré avec les films d’Andreï Tarkovski (1932-1986). Leurs carrières de cinéastes débutent presque au même moment, au début des années 1960, et dans le même pays, l’Italie. Le premier film réalisé par Pier Paolo Pasolini, Accattone (Accattone, 1961), est projeté pour la première fois à la Mostra de Venise le 31 août 1961, là-même où L’Enfance d’Ivan (Ivanovo detstvo, 1962) de Tarkovski recevra l’année suivante le premier « Lion d’or » de l’histoire du cinéma soviétique. La religion n’occupe cependant pas la même place dans la vie sociale italienne, où le catholicisme est religion d’État jusqu’en 1984, que sous un régime athée fondé sur la « Séparation de l’Église avec l’État et avec l’École » en vertu de la loi du 23 janvier 1918. Nous formons l’hypothèse que leurs poétiques engagent respectivement une fonction critique à l’égard d’un pouvoir ayant autorité sur le sacré. Cette charge critique s’exercerait pour Tarkovski à l’encontre de la politique athée et matérialiste du régime soviétique, que ce soit à la fin du gouvernement de Krouchtchev (1953-1964) ou celui de Leonid Brejnev (1964-1982) sous lequel il évolue principalement en tant qu’artiste soviétique. Dans le cas de Pasolini, cette charge critique s’exercerait à l’encontre de la religion catholique et de son alliance politique avec la Démocratie chrétienne. Dans les deux cas, il s’agit d’investir et de s’approprier l’opposition fondamentale entre le sacré et le profane pour redéfinir leur frontière et leur répartition dans l’espace et le temps. Le parcours que nous suivrons s’échelonnera en trois parties. La première est axée sur la façon dont les réalisateurs ont respectivement actualisé au cinéma un paradigme de l’incarnation pour élaborer des figures christiques. Par leur intermédiaire, les réalisateurs nouent respectivement des rapports avec la liturgie, tantôt pour briser l’identification constituée historiquement sur « le » Christ de l’Église, tantôt pour réintroduire le culte et la tradition orthodoxes refoulés par le régime soviétique. Dans une deuxième partie, nous interrogeons la façon dont la représentation des corps et des sexualités mettent en tension le sacrilège et le sacré. Il faudra penser la dialectique du sacré et du profane avec des autorités ayant pouvoir de sanctionner la représentation des corps. La troisième partie, enfin, appréhende le sacré et le profane comme deux catégories opposées contribuant à la reconfiguration politique de l’espace et du commun. Nous analyserons l’emploi de traditions chrétiennes et la relation fondée sur la sanction qui unit des peuples « saints » à des formes de souveraineté politique se présentant elles-mêmes comme des autorités sacrées, séparées du commun des mortels / Because there exist historically a common culture, Christianity, that the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) can communicate with the films of Andreï Tarkovski (1932-1986). Their careers of filmmakers begin almost at the beginning of the years 1960, and in the same country, Italy. The first film carried out by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Accattone (Accattone, 1961), is shown for the first time at Mostra of Venice on August 31st, 1961, where the Childhood of Ivan (Ivanovo detstvo, 1962) of Tarkovski will receive the following year the first “gold Lion” of the History of the Soviet cinema. The religion does not occupy however the same place in the Italian social life, where Catholicism is religion of State until 1984, which under a Soviet regime based on the “Separation of the Church with the State and the School” since 1918. Their poetic respectively engage a critical function with regard to a power having authority on Sacred Christian. This criticism would be exerted for Tarkovski against the atheistic and materialist policy of the Soviet regime, under the government of Krouchtchev (1953-1964) and Leonid Brenev (1964-1982). In the case of Pasolini, this criticism would be exerted against the Catholic Church and to its political alliance with the Christian-Democracy. In both cases, it would be a question of investing and of adapting the fundamental opposition between the Sacred and the Profane to redefine their border and their distribution in space and time

The dissertation presents and explores a mode of literary studies, which bypasses the question of literary value, and instead aims to assess how and where creative writing challenges hegemonic norms (that is, its political value). In so doing, it reflects on the practice of literary studies per se, and the mechanism(s) by which discourse can impact on subjecthood. The exploration entails the application of certain theoretical tools (concepts) in a reading of a literary work. The primary concepts employed are: performativity, subjectivity and gender. The dissertation seeks to read Muriel at Metropolitan (Tlali 1994) as a performative act, that is, a discursive event which re-enacts the practice of fictional writing and thereby extends (and possibly changes} the convention of crealive writing. If it is true that creative writing is performative, that it partake in the making of the individual, then it is important to study such writing in order to discover the consequences for the subject / English Studies / M.A. (English)

The object of this research are the public reports written by the mayor Gracialiano Ramos, in the years 1929 and 1930, and sent to the governor of Alagoas State. These documents have achieved great impact at the time, due to the ironic and daring tone present in the texts, indicating a violation of the genre of report writing. For the analysis, it were defined the figures of rhetoric according to Quintiliano de Calahorra, and their incidence in these texts, paying attention to the transgressions committed by the manager-writer. To achieve our goals, the methodology used was the analysis of standardized text and textualization, proposed by Bhatia, with the analysis of expression, as proposed by Laurence Bardin. / Esta tese se propõe a investigar o gênero relatório, a fim de conhecer seus traços constitutivos, seu contexto situacional e a função sócio comunicativa que exerce em sua comunidade discursiva. Forma o objeto desta pesquisa os relatórios públicos escritos pelo prefeito Graciliano Ramos, nos anos de 1929 e 1930, e enviados ao governador do estado de Alagoas. Estes documentos alcançaram grande repercussão na época, devido ao tom irônico e ousado presente em seus textos que indicam uma transgressão da escritura do gênero relatório. Foram definidas para a unidade de análise as figuras de linguagem, na perspectiva de Quintiliano de Calahorra e sua incidência nestes textos prestando atenção nas transgressões praticadas pelo escritor gestor. Para alcançar os objetivos, a metodologia adotada foi o da análise da padronização de texto e textualização proposto por Bhatia, que compartilha com o da análise da expressão, de Lawrence Bardin.
