Depuis qu’en 1977, en quatrième de couverture de Fils, Serge Doubrovsky employa le mot « autofiction » pour décrire son roman, les études doubrovskiennes ont eu tendance à se focaliser sur les questions génériques que sous-tendait ce néologisme. Ainsi on a écarté un autre aspect, tout aussi important, de l’œuvre de l’auteur : celui du lien avec le lecteur qui, en plus d’être mis en scène dans chacune des autofictions doubrovskiennes, est associé dès Fils au rapport complexe, inextricable et conflictuel entre les sexes. « J’écris mâle, me lis femelle », dit le narrateur-écrivain ‘Serge Doubrovsky’ – lui qui vivra sous nos yeux une série d’histoires passionnelles avec des compagnes qui sont également ses lectrices. Repris d’épisode en épisode, le rapport entre le héros doubrovskien et sa compagne du moment rappelle les hypothèses de Doubrovsky dans Corneille ou la dialectique du héros (1963), inspirées de la dialectique hégélienne du Maître et de l’Esclave. Cette thèse s’attache donc à analyser la relation dialectique auteur-lectrice telle que mise en scène et approfondie dans l’ensemble de l’édifice autofictionnel. Après présentation et étude des mécanismes dont se sert l’auteur pour construire son Lecteur Modèle (Première partie), les trois autres sections principales de la thèse sont consacrées à l’analyse de Fils et Un amour de soi (1977 et 1982 ; Deuxième partie) ; du Livre brisé et de l’Après-vivre (1989 et 1994 ; Troisième partie) ; et enfin de Laissé pour conte (1999 ; Quatrième partie). Il s’agira enfin de montrer la portée non seulement littéraire, mais également sociale (la réflexion s’élargit à chaque épisode pour aborder les questions de la réception contemporaine de l’œuvre littéraire) et historique (le motif Maître-Esclave s’inscrit dans l’Histoire de l’Europe du XXe siècle, plus précisément la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la Shoah) du thème dialectique doubrovskien. / Since Serge Doubrovsky coined the term « autofiction » to describe his own novel on the back cover blurb of Fils (1977), doubrovskian studies have tended to focus on the literary genres issues implied by his neologism. Consequently, another aspect of the writer’s work, and a quite crucial one, was somewhat neglected: the relationship with the reader, which is not only represented and acted out by the characters in doubrovskian autofictions but also linked to a another complex, tempestuous and inextricable relationship, that of man and woman. “I write male, read myself female”, says the doubrovskian narrator, who happens to take part, under our very eyes, in a series of passionate relationships with mates that are also readers of his works. Repeated from novel to novel, the mise en scène of the rapport between the doubrovskian hero and his lady companion of the moment reminds us of Doubrovsky’s hypotheses in Corneille ou la dialectique du héros (1963), which were inspired by the Hegelian master-slave Dialectics. This study thus concentrates on the representation of the dialectical relation between male author and female reader in Doubrovsky’s autofictions. After a brief survey and description of the tools used by the author in order to construct his own Model Reader (First section), our three other principal sections will focus on the analysis of Fils and Un amour de soi (1977 and 1982; Section Two); Le livre brisé and l’Après-vivre (1989 and 1994; Section Three); and finally Laissé pour conte (1999; Section Four). We will ultimately attempt to demonstrate the doubrovskian dialectal theme’s literary richness as well as its social and historical implications – the author’s reflexion widens with each episode, touching on questions of reader-response and reception of the literary work, while the master-slave motif resonates in the History of twentieth century Europe, mainly the Second World War and the Holocaust.

Dany Laferrière, récemment admis à la prestigieuse Académie française, a produit une œuvre considérable au cours des trente dernières années. Deux de ces premiers romans, Comment faire l’amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer et Cette grenade dans la main du jeune Nègre est-elle une arme ou un fruit?, sont caractérisés par une intertextualité riche et variée. La trame narrative de ces deux romans est construite par fragments. Dans le premier texte, on retrouve un écrivain fictif qui procède à l’écriture d’un roman qu’il nomme Paradis du dragueur nègre. Dans le deuxième roman, nous retrouvons le même écrivain, mais ce dernier est plutôt employé par un magazine de la côte est afin de rédiger un reportage sur l’Amérique. Dans les deux cas, il y a une mise en scène de l’écriture par un écrivain fictif qui présente beaucoup de ressemblances avec Laferrière lui-même. Le lecteur assiste à la construction du récit qu’il est en train de lire à travers une autofiction originale. Il y a donc une multitude de ressemblances, et mêmes correspondances, entre les deux récits. Les deux romans de Laferrière s’inscrivent par leur thème, leur style et leur genre dans une « généalogie » de textes qui peuvent être regroupés en « familles » littéraires. Nous tenterons, dans le mémoire qui suit, de définir et de comprendre le rôle de ces « familles » et d’illustrer comment l’appropriation de ces textes permet à l’auteur à la fois de s’en inspirer et de s’en distancer. Il s’agira donc, dans les deux premiers chapitres, d’étudier les références intertextuelles appartenant à ces deux « familles » d’écrivains pour ensuite étudier plus particulièrement la construction de la figure de l’écrivain et de son espace littéraire à travers ces deux œuvres. MOT-CLÉS : Dany Laferrière ; intertextualité ; autofiction ; roman contemporain ; littérature québécoise. / Dany Laferrière, recently admitted to the prestigious Académie française, has produced a considerable work in the past thirty years. Two of his first novels, Comment faire l'amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer and Cette grenade dans la main du jeune Nègre est-elle une arme ou un fruit? are characterised by a rich and varied intertextuality. The thread of the narrative of these two novels is built by fragments. In the first text, a fictional writer is working on a novel titled Paradis du dragueur nègre. In the second novel, we find the same writer, but he travels through the United States in order to write a report on America. In both cases, we find staged writing by a fictional writer who has many similarities to Laferrière himself. The reader witnesses the construction of the story he is reading through an original « autobiographical novel ». In fact, there are many resemblances, even correspondences, between the two stories. Both Laferrière's novel themes, style and genre, are part of a « genealogy » of texts that can be grouped into literary « families ». We will then try, in the following research, to define and understand the role of theses « families » and illustrate how the appropriation of these texts allows the author to be inspired and to question these texts from the past. We will therefore study the intertextual references of these literary « families » in the first two chapters of our research and then study more specifically the construction of the figure of the writer and his literary space through these two novels. KEY WORDS : Dany Laferrière ; intertextuality ; autofiction ; contemporary novel ; Quebec literature.

La présente étude se propose de faire une comparaison typologie et historique d’un phénomène littéraire très présent dans l’espace littéraire français et bulgare des dernières décennies du XXe et des premières décennies du XXIe siècle, à savoir le récit personnel fictionnalisé ou mis en cause. L’émergence de ce processus a été notre préoccupation majeure, et pour cette raison nous avons choisi des romans-clés paraissant à des époques différentes : pour la sphère française, l’orientation du Nouveau roman vers une écriture autobiographique pendant les années 1980 ; pour la sphère bulgare, l’émergence d’une « nouvelle écriture » à la faveur des changements sociopolitiques à partir de 1989. L’entrée en littérature de nouvelles conceptions philosophiques touchant plusieurs autres sphères de la vie artistique, comme la déconstruction ou la pensée de la postmodernité, affecte grandement le récit qu’un sujet de l’époque ferait de sa propre vie, d’autant plus s’il est déjà écrivain. Les questions que soulèvent aussi bien les œuvres bulgares que les œuvres françaises : questions d’abord de référentialité, d’« adhésion à l’époque », ensuite de composition, de voix narratives et, en fin de compte, de prise en charge du texte comme le récit de sa propre vie, sont extensivement traitées tout au long de l’étude. Il en résulte que le doute de la parole régit tout récit, et que le témoignage d’une expérience personnelle est la seule caution de sa véracité. Le récit personnel s’éloigne des genres purement informatifs ou référentiels et prend ainsi place du côté de la littérature, des œuvres de création et de fiction. / The present study is set to make a typological and historical comparison of a very widespread phenomenon in French and Bulgarian literary fields in the last decades of XXth century and the first decades of the XXIst century: the fictionnalised or biased personal story. This phenomenon’s emergence has been our main subject of concern, and for that reason we chose key novels published in different periods: for the French domain it was the « Nouveau roman »’s orientation towards autobiographical writing in the 1980’s; for the Bulgarian domain, the emergence of a « new writing » in the wake of the change in 1989. The introduction in literature of new philosophical conceptions touching other spheres of art such as deconstruction and postmodernism affects greatly the story a subject would make of his own life, moreover if he is already a writer. The questions raised as well by the Bulgarian as by French works: first about reference to reality, historical verisimilitude, then about composition, narrative voices and finally, about taking in charge the story itself as the story of one’s life, are extensively dealt with along the study. The resulting account is that hesitation governs thoroughly the story, and that the sole fact of giving testimony of one’s life is its caution of veracity. The personal story moves away from purely informative genres, ranging to fictional literature’s side.

The corpus of research is centered on the chronicles published between 1967 and 1973, in the Jornal do Brasil newspaper and, later, collected in the book A Descoberta do Mundo (1984). For this purpose, we examine the characteristics inherent to the chronicle and how the writer works with this genre, then we grasp the issue of self-writing and analyze how the reflections about the literary work are present in the space of the chronic. The research is primarily analytical-reflexive and, in order to discuss the chronicle as genre, uses articles by Antonio Candido, Davi Arrigucci and Marlise Meyer. In order to approach the chronicle of Clarice, in particular, we use the studies by Nádia Gotlib and Walnice Nogueira. About the presence of the writer in her writing, two key theorists on the subject were favored: Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. For the studies on autofiction and metafiction, the following stand out among others: Philippe Lejeune, Diana Klinger and Linda Hutcheon, whereas in the process of creative construction, our attention will focus primarily on Octávio Paz and Leyla Perrone-Móises. In the Final Considerations, the chronicle is reiterated as a scriptural testimony of the restless and questioning profile of the author observed and analyzed throughout the research, as well as the creative and reflective mechanisms of her literary work / A partir de um estudo pontual da crônica de Clarice Lispector, em suas múltiplas faces de revelação, a presente pesquisa propõe desvendar o processo reflexivo e metalinguístico de sua escrita, passando pela presença ficcionalizada da autora, bem como por sua visão sobre o ato de criação. O corpus de investigação está centrado nas crônicas publicadas entre os anos de 1967 e 1973, no Jornal do Brasil e, posteriormente, reunidas no livro A Descoberta do Mundo (1984). Para tanto, examinam-se as características inerentes à crônica e de que forma a escritora trabalha com este gênero para, em seguida, apreendermos a questão da escrita de si e analisarmos como as reflexões sobre o fazer literário se fazem presentes no espaço da crônica. A pesquisa tem caráter, prioritariamente, analítico-reflexivo e utiliza para a discussão da crônica como gênero, artigos de Antonio Candido, Davi Arrigucci e Marlise Meyer. Para a abordagem da crônica clariciana, em específico, recorre-se aos estudos de Nádia Gotlib e Walnice Nogueira. Sobre a presença da escritora no corpo da escrita, privilegiaram-se dois teóricos chave sobre a questão: Roland Barthes e Michel Foucault. Para os estudos sobre autoficção e metaficção, destacam-se entre outros: Philippe Lejeune, Diana Klinger e Linda Hutcheon, enquanto que sobre o processo da construção criativa, nossa atenção passa a centrarse, prioritariamente, em Octávio Paz e Leyla Perrone-Móises. Nas Considerações Finais, reitera-se a crônica como um testemunho escritural do perfil inquieto e questionador da autora observado e analisado ao longo da pesquisa, assim como os mecanismos criativos e reflexivos do seu fazer literário

No. of bitstreams: 1 Graziele Maria Valim.pdf: 838024 bytes, checksum: d94e88b1bf5888dacea54f270e07b9f5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study intends to verify the approximation between the subject from the three novels of António Lobo Antunes – Memória de Elefante (1979), Os Cus de Judas (1979) and Conhecimento do Inferno (1980) – which have autobiographical traits – with the subject that appears in the book of letters of the same author, Deste viver aqui neste papel descripto: cartas da guerra (2005). This possible reading considers the common elements present in the three novels and in the book of letters: biographical data of the author and the historical-social context in which the subject of the four literary works was inserted; the assignment of the name António Lobo Antunes and the career as a psychiatrist to the central characters of the novels; and also the literary-technique presents in the book of letters. Considering that the letters threaten the limits between reality and fiction, the present study aims to verify how life and the literary work, fictional character and empirical author, merge into these four books. The research is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is based in interviews given by Lobo Antunes to Maria Luísa Blanco and others journalists that were organized by Ana Paula Arnaut, and studies of Maria Alzira Seixo about his novels, there are brief presentations of the author and the four literary works studied. In the second chapter, some concepts of literary criticism including the ones of Michel Foucault, Philippe Lejeune, Serge Doubrovsky, Diana Klinger and Leonor Arfuch about the "writings of self" were presented, with the intention of showing that Lobo Antunes goes beyond concepts of what is called autobiography or autofiction, constructing works that belong to a genre that is not yet defined by literary criticism. In the third chapter, it is related the metafictional features present in the three novels of the author and in the letters written by him during the war; the symbiotic relationship with writing and the belief in the power of literature. It was possible to observe, from the studies of Patricia Waugh, Linda Hutcheon and Gustavo Bernardo, that the author, extremely attentive to his work with the word, already problematized, since his letters, the text within the text itself, as well as the fictional reality. Moreover, rather than showing how the life and the literary work of the author are merged in the books studied, it is also intended to show that the literary project undertaken by the author, when he fuses with his literary work, is to make the literature a vehicle of affection and humanization of the reader / Esta dissertação tem como proposta investigar a aproximação existente entre o sujeito que se evidencia nos três primeiros romances de António Lobo Antunes – Memória de Elefante (1979), Os Cus de Judas (1979) e Conhecimento do Inferno (1980) – que possuem traços autobiográficos, com o sujeito que figura no livro de cartas do mesmo autor, Deste viver aqui neste papel descripto: cartas da guerra (2005). Essa possível leitura é empreendida a partir de elementos comuns presentes nessas obras: dados biográficos do autor e do contexto histórico-social em que estava inserido o sujeito das quatro obras; a atribuição do nome António Lobo Antunes e da profissão de médico psiquiatra às personagens centrais dos romances; e também dos traços estilístico-literários presentes no livro de cartas. Considerando que as missivas colocam em xeque os limites entre a realidade e ficção, o presente estudo busca verificar como vida e obra, personagem ficcional e autor empírico, fundem-se nesses quatro livros. A pesquisa está divida em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, pautado nas entrevistas concedidas por Lobo Antunes à Maria Luísa Blanco e outras que foram compiladas por Ana Paula Arnaut, e nos estudos de Maria Alzira Seixo sobre os romances, há uma breve apresentação do autor e das quatro obras estudadas. No segundo capítulo, foram expostos alguns conceitos da crítica, como os de Michel Foucault, Philippe Lejeune, Serge Doubrovsky, Diana Klinger, Leonor Arfuch, sobre as “escritas do eu”, com a intenção de evidenciar que Lobo Antunes ultrapassa os conceitos do que se denomina autobiografia ou autoficção, construindo obras que pertencem a um gênero ainda não definido pela crítica. No terceiro capítulo, são elencados os traços metaficcionais presentes nos romances iniciais do autor e nas cartas escritas durante a guerra, a relação simbiótica desenvolvida com a escrita e a crença no poder da literatura. Foi possível observar, a partir dos estudos de Patricia Waugh, Linda Hutcheon e Gustavo Bernardo que o autor, extremamente atento ao trabalho com a palavra, já problematizava, desde suas cartas, o texto dentro do próprio texto, bem como a realidade ficcional. Ademais, mais do que evidenciar como a vida e a obra de António Lobo Antunes se (con)fundem nos livros estudados, tenciona-se mostrar que o projeto literário empreendido pelo autor, ao confluir-se com sua obra, é o de tornar a literatura um veículo de afetividade e humanização de seu leitor

Para tanto, este trabalho contrasta os conceitos de autobiografia e autoficção, considerando este último como mais adequado para abranger os textos ora analisados. Além disso, correspondências e entrevistas do autor foram utilizadas para enfatizar o processo de ficcionalização que pode ser percebido em seus textos. Sugerimos ainda que o conceito de espaço biográfico permite compreender melhor como os diversos escritos do autor se relacionam entre si. São abordadas aqui as proposições teóricas de Philippe Lejeune além daquelas referentes à autoficção, termo criado por Serge Doubrovsky e posteriormente estudado por autores tais como Phillippe Vilain e Diana Klinger. Ademais, outro conceito crucial para a presente pesquisa é o de espaço biográfico, criado por Leonor Arfuch. Segundo a autora argentina, a biografia de um indivíduo é composta por uma pluralidade de textos, caracterizando, assim, um espaço textual mais amplo e complexo do que aquele pressuposto pelo gênero biográfico em si. Finalmente, a análise dos contos utilizados no presente trabalho levou em consideração as conexões possíveis entre literatura e sociedade, já que os textos de Caio Fernando Abreu eram concebidos como instrumentos políticos e ideológicos. / This dissertation aims to discuss the relations between reality and fiction identified in Brazilian author Caio Fernando Abreu's narratives “Lixo e purpurina”, “London, London, ajax, brush and rubbish” and “Garopaba mon amour”. In order to achieve such aim, this work contrasts the concepts of autobiography and autofiction, regarding the latter as the more appropriate one to encompass the narratives analyzed here. Furthermore, interviews with the author and some of his personal letters are used in this study as a mean of emphasizing the fictionalization process that can be observed in his works. It is also suggested here that the concept of biographical space allows one to better understand how several of the author's works relate to each other. This work addresses Philippe Lejeune's theories as well as those regarding the concept of autofiction, a term coined by Serge Doubrovsky and later studied by authors such as Philippe Vilain and Diana Klinger. Moreover, another concept that is vital to this research work is that of biographical space, introduced by Leonor Arfuch. According to the Argentinian author, an individual's biography is composed by an assortment of texts, therefore characterizing a wider and more complex textual space than that pressuposed by biography as a genre. Finally, the short stories used in this dissertation were analyzed taking into account the possible connections between literature and society, since Caio Fernando Abreu's texts were meant to work as political and ideological tools.

Em uma conversa com Hans Kaufmann, publicada sob o título de Subjektive Authentizität (1973), Christa Wolf afirma a necessidade de se encontrar um tipo de escrita que alcance um alto grau de realismo na apresentação de temas relevantes, mas polêmicos para o indivíduo e seu grupo. Na ocasião da entrevista a autora já trabalhava em Kindheitsmuster, publicado pouco depois (1976). Este trabalho parte da hipótese de que as novas técnicas narrativas exigidas pela autora, a qual se posiciona na ocasião contra a política cultural da RDA e o realismo socialista, seriam visíveis não apenas no romance mencionado, mas em toda sua trajetória a partir de então, e mais decididamente retomadas em Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr.Freud (2010), o qual se aproxima muito do livro da década de setenta tanto por sua estrutura e recursos narrativos adotados, quanto por tratar-se novamente da narração de experiências autobiográficas cruciais em sua trajetória. Por meio da comparação dos livros citados procura-se analisar alguns dos recursos estilísticos e estratégias literárias utilizados para configurar a experiência em dois momentos temporais bastante distintos, bem como o modo pelo qual acontecimentos pessoais e da história contemporânea são apresentados em estreita ligação. Por meio de diversas técnicas literárias e de uma determinada posição diante de si e do público, a autora cultiva uma escrita ao mesmo tempo objetiva e subjetiva, a qual traria o indivíduo para o centro do texto e produziria um tipo especial de realismo e de autenticidade por ela almejados, devendo-se, contudo, atentar para as especificidades de cada contexto. Do jogo entre subjetividade e objetividade presente nos dois textos deriva-se ainda um outro, entre a factualidade e ficcionalidade, de modo que os textos da autora se aproximam de uma tendência surgida nos anos setenta: a da autoficção. Trata-se de um conceito bastante versátil e polêmico da teoria literária, o qual deve ser primeiramente definido, para assim ver como se configura no caso específico de Wolf, cujos textos são declarados pela autora como ficcionais, mas recebidos por público e crítica como autobiográficos. O caráter ficcional de seus textos estaria antes no emprego de técnicas metaficcionais, de encenação de processos de escrita e de rememoração na obra, que na ficcionalidade dos episódios. / During conversation with Haus Kaufmann published under the title Subjektive Authentizität (1973), Christa Wolf affirms the necessity of establishing a mode of writing with the purpose of reaching a high degree of Realism and combining social polemic with thematic literary presentation. At that moment, Wolfs Kindheitsmuster was already in progress; it would be published three years later, in 1976. This dissertation has as its claim that Wolfs new narrative techniques, vindicated at the same time of the authors rupture with Socialist Realism and GDR cultural politics, are visible not only in Kindheitsmuster, but also through her entire career thereafter. In order to demonstrate that, we propose the evaluation of Kindheitsmuster in comparison with Wolfs 2010 novel Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud. In this novel, Wolf recovers some of the narrative techniques first developed in the 1970s, and, following the example of Kindheitsmuster, plunges herself into important autobiographic material. By the way of this comparison, our aim is to analyze some of Wolfs stylistic devices and strategies put in use so as to present close interconnection between historical moment and personal experience in two quite different moments. Through those devices and strategies, combined with Wolfs own public position, the author blurs the traditional boundaries between fictionality and factuality, subjectivity and objectivity, by bringing into attention her concept of subjective authenticity and a new idea of Realism as well. Behind Wolfs achievement, there is a quite specific understanding of autofictionality, based upon metafictional techniques and the mingling of literary representation and recollection processes, and which is our task to interpret.

Ken Russell (1927-2011) was a renegade talent and the self-styled enfant terrible of British cinema. His legacy as a film-maker consists of a large number of films on the lives of artists, mainly composers. But Russell’s approach to artist biography was highly unorthodox: rather than reconstruct a factual account he offered a deeply personal interpretation of artists’ lives based on his own understanding of their work. In a programmatic text for his film on Mahler (1974), Russell explained that his films ‘evolve through a stream of consciousness in which the man and the myth, the music and its meaning, time, place, dream and fact all flow and blend into the mainstream of the film itself’ and that ‘my film is simply about some of the things I feel when I think of Mahler’s life and listen to his music’.This book is an attempt to explain what that statement means and to unpack its implications for the practice of life writing. It takes a baroque approach to performance and performativity to show how Russell not simply made highly inventive films on other artists, but also constructed those films as a kind of self-portrait. Russell’s work then becomes a performance of self through art. In four chapters of detailed analysis this book reconstructs Russell’s method, from the very first films he made for the BBC in the early 1960s through his major feature films of the 1970s and 1980s. / Doctorat en Histoire, histoire de l'art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
