Les "avatars du moi" chez Paul Auster : autofiction et métafiction dans les romans de la maturité

Thevenon, Marie 23 November 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Entre autobiographie et fiction, le terme " autofiction ", inventé par Serge Doubrovsky, est un " genre " qui s'est surtout épanoui à la fin du XIXe siècle avec " la transposition en fiction des fragments d'une expérience " (Hubier), devenue de plus en plus populaire au fil du temps. La recherche entreprise dans cette thèse porte sur la forme contemporaine de ce mélange entre autobiographie et fiction que l'on trouve chez Paul Auster. Le corpus principal est composé de ses romans dits de la " maturité ", publiés entre 1991 et 2008 : Leviathan, The Book of Illusions, Oracle Night, The Brooklyn Follies, Travels in the Scriptorium et Man in the Dark. C'est ainsi la question de l'évolution de l'autofiction mais également de la métafiction chez cet auteur qui est examinée dans cette thèse. Divisé en trois parties, ce travail porte dans un premier temps sur les repères spatiotemporels dans les romans de Paul Auster avant de se concentrer sur les éléments métafictionnels présents dans les romans du corpus. Dans la première partie, une distinction est faite entre deux espaces : l'espace intérieur et l'espace extérieur et la façon dont ces deux espaces cohabitent. Dans une deuxième partie, la thèse s'intéresse aux repères temporels, qu'ils soient d'ordre mémoriel ou en rapport direct avec la structure du récit. La thèse examine le rôle que jouent certains repères empruntés à l'Histoire contemporaine dans l'histoire personnelle des personnages, en observant qu'ils occupent une place toujours plus importante au fur et à mesure que l'oeuvre austérienne progresse, en particulier à partir des attentats du onze septembre. Enfin, c'est la mise en scène de l'écriture chez Paul Auster et la façon dont elle alimente l'autofiction en mettant l'accent sur l'identité d'écrivain de notre auteur qui est traitée : l'emploi du langage, l'évolution des supports d'écriture chez les personnages, la description de la méthodologie du travail de l'écrivain mais également l'intratextualité qui met en avant le lien entre tous ses romans.

Paul Auster's representation of invisible characters in selected novels

Gous, Joané Facqueline January 2012 (has links)
In this dissertation I argue that invisible characters, as they appear in Paul Auster’s novels, serve a very specific function within the interpretative framework of a text and that they should be considered to play a functional role, in order to arrive at a more holistic interpretation of the text and a more accurate analysis of said texts. I argue that Auster knowingly includes these characters in his novels as part of his narrative technique, in order for them to serve specific functions and to contribute to the structure of postmodern fiction. I make use of a contextualized close reading of five of Auster’s novels and attempt a hermeneutic interpretation of these novels to arrive at a hermeneutic circle when combining these novels into an integrated whole, individual, work of fiction. Certain parallels can be drawn between Auster’s various novels and these parallels contribute to the various motifs and themes found throughout his work. The importance of space in Auster’s novels is also highlighted with emphasis on liminality which serves as an instigator for transgression to occur between different fictive worlds. / Thesis (MA (English))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.
