Ce travail de recherches interroge l’ensemble des activités artistiques menées par Jean-Philippe Toussaint à l’aube du XXIe siècle. Ces activités déterminent un corpus composé des différentes publications, expositions, installations qui tissent entre elles des liens explicites et implicites. Cette trame immatérielle fonde notre corpus, notre « texte » d’étude étant ainsi constitué de cet entrelacs de propositions artistiques. Ce questionnement convoque plusieurs perspectives que l’on peut distinguer quoiqu’elles soient interdépendantes. La première considère l’inscription de cette œuvre dans une époque déterminée et sa revendication de contemporanéité. La deuxième prend appui sur une réflexion sur les supports, les médiums de la production artistique de Jean-Philippe Toussaint, leurs spécificités, leurs liens participant tout autant de la complémentarité que de la tension. La troisième se réfère à la dimension réflexive de cette œuvre composite qui se donne à voir, qui « s’expose » dans tous les sens du terme, au point de prendre le risque du dévoilement. Notre étude se centre sur une période, 2000-2015, de maturité créative inaugurée par les premières expositions de photographies (Chapitre XII, Bruxelles ; CASO, Osaka), la rédaction de l’opus I, Faire l’amour (publié en 2002) du cycle M.M.M.M. et la publication du recueil Autoportrait (A l’étranger) qui rassemble des textes rédigés à la fin des années 90. Les réalisations artistiques toussaintiennes des années 2000-2015, fictions, essais, catalogue, vidéos, films, expositions, installations, quoique variées établissent toutes une relation avec ses propres écrits, le livre et la lecture ; elles témoignent d’une homogénéité qui repose sur l’omniprésence de l’image scripturale et visuelle, ou plus exactement DES images, qui se superposent, se complètent, s’annihilent, dans des mouvements de synergies comme de conflits. Aussi ces images sont-elles au cœur de notre questionnement qui éclaire la poétique de Toussaint telle qu’elle se manifeste dans ses réalisations et s’exprime dans ses propos. La primauté du regard est ainsi une constante (« La main et le regard, il n’est jamais question que de cela dans la vie, en amour, en art. » La Vérité sur Marie, 2009) qui circule dans toute l’œuvre. Le regard est central car voir, c’est aussi, pour Jean-Philippe Toussaint, penser et rêver, l’image participant tour à tour, et parfois simultanément, de la perception, de l’analyse et du fantasme. / This research work questions the ensemble of the artistic activities conducted by Jean-Philippe Toussaint at the dawn of the 21st century. These activities determine a corpus composed of different publications, exhibitions and installations which forge implicit and explicit links in between themselves. This immaterial framework serves as the basis for our corpus, our study “text” thus being constituted of this interlacing of artistic propositions. This questioning convokes several perspectives that can be distinguished even though they are interdependent. The first perspective considers the place of this work in a defined period and its claim of contemporaneity. The second leans on a reflection on the supports, the media of Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s artistic production, their specific features, their links pertaining equally to complementarity and to tension. The third one refers to the reflective dimension of this composite work displaying itself, “exposing” itself in every sense of the word, to the extent of taking the risk of unveiling. Our work centers on a period, 2000-2015, of creative maturity inaugurated by the first photographs exhibitions (Chapter XII, Brussels; CASO, Osaka), the writing of the opus I, Faire l’amour (published in 2002) of the cycle M.M.M.M. and the publication of the collection Autoportrait (A l’étranger) gathering texts written at the end of the nineties. The toussaintian realizations of the years 2000-2015, fictions, essays, catalogue, videos, films, exhibitions, installations, although varied, all establish a relationship with his own writings, the book and the reading; they demonstrate a homogeneity based on the omnipresence of the scriptural and visual picture, or more precisely PICTURES, which are superimposed on each other, complete each other, annihilate each other, in movements of synergies as well as conflicts. Therefore, these pictures are in the heart of our questioning which sheds light on Toussaint’s poetics as the latter manifest themselves in his productions and are expressed in his words. The pre-eminence of the gaze is thus a permanent feature (« La main et le regard, il n’est jamais question que de cela dans la vie, en amour, en art. » La Vérité sur Marie, 2009) which circulates throughout the entire work. The gaze is central because to see is also, according to Jean-Philippe Toussaint, to think and to dream, the picture pertaining, in turns, and sometimes simultaneously, to perception, analysis and fantasy.

This study aims to investigate various and multiple viewpoints of scholars, textbook editors, elementary school teachers, and student parents on the connection issue between different editions of elementary school textbooks, so as to submit our conclusions and suggestions. The concrete purpose of this study is double: a) What are the multiple voices of the connection issue of different textbooks? b) How are these voices formed? In order to reach the above purpose, the research method is mainly qualitative method, complementing by quantitative method. The study subjects are three scholars, three editors of school textbooks, 18 elementary school teachers, and five student parents. We adopt interview method of qualitative research. According to the introductory interviews, the researchers compile preliminary questionnaire, which is distributed to 160 elementary school teachers in all the 16 counties and cities in the Taiwan area. The last open-end question allows the answerers to write down their opinions, which are then used as one part of data analysis of this study. Finally, we conduct our analysis and discussion by means of incessant comparative analysis and type analysis. Synthetically, we then produce the conclusions and suggestions of this study. The following are the conclusions we reached: 1. The connection between the formal outlines and the temporary ones of the nine-year-through consistent policy causes various connection problems of different editions years ago. Take math course for example. This course is being narrowed and regulated owing to the formal outlines' annual details, which, though brings out a converging agreement, still causes some connection problems, though fewer. Even though connection problems remain, teachers should manage to reduce the problems to the minimum when conducting their teachings, so as to make the teachings more favorably. 2. Because of poor understanding towards the present nine-year-through consistent policy curricula outlines, elementary school teachers can not explain the connection problems to the student parents clearly, which makes the latter take dubious stance towards this issue. The nature of elementary school curricula is of the class of starting point of Burner's spiral curriculum; furthermore, the teaching units are circular through the six years. Thus, the negligent and omitting elements can be redressed to some point. On the other hand, whether students' learning contents are negligent or not will be redressed by the "feedback loop" to rectify the teaching objects and complement the teaching materials. 3. Elementary school teachers with teaching experience less than five years are mostly inexperienced teachers who don't understand the curricula outlines. From our interviews we realize that all kinds of selection tests almost never touch issues concerning curricula outlines. Under this vein, the chance to understand the curricula outlines is relatively meager, which is a warning and chasm for elementary teaching staff cultivation curricula. 4. The connection problems of different elementary textbook editions have something to do with the natures of curricula or fields. Curricula of artistic ability have less connection, which might have something to do with having no tests. "Having tests" tops all the connection issues of different elementary school textbooks. 5. The connection issues of different elementary school textbooks manifest the loose joining of "theory and practice" of teaching, which is the chief cause of the long-term negligence of the outcry of elementary school teachers who really do the teachings. On the one hand, the low professional status and image of elementary school teachers partly contribute to the above phenomenon. On the other hand, many elementary school teachers hold the belief that politics is behind education. In the long run, they feel inactive to all the educational issues. 6. Transfer students have to face horizontal transfer of different editions of their textbooks. Various levels of transfer problems occur because of different transfer times during the semester. But connection problems are not unsolvable. The joint cooperation between elementary school teachers and the publishers of elementary school textbooks still can patch up the chasm of connection.

John Gwenogvryn Evans was an important figure in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Welsh Celtic Studies, because he published accurate diplomatic editions of medieval manuscripts that are still used today. He also compiled an important and detailed Report on Welsh Manuscripts for the Historic Manuscripts Commission that was of significant utility to scholars of his day, and still has uses for its detailed description of manuscripts. His extraordinary talent for accuracy in the reproduction of medieval script came to the attention of John Rhŷs, then Professor of Celtic at Jesus College, Oxford. Through Rhŷs he was exposed to the best scholarship of his day, and with the assistance of scholars such as Egerton Phillimore and John Morris Jones, he was enabled to produce work of enduring value. Due to his limited training in Welsh linguistics, and in research methodology, there were, from the start, serious flaws in his interpretation of early Welsh. Later, on losing contact with academic influences due to unwise actions, he fell into a pseudoscientific mentality more common earlier in the 19th century, seeking to find historical fact in poetry of legend and prophecy. Major errors arose from his later inclination to consider the date of a manuscript and the date of the content to be identical, and the ridicule that resulted from his 'amendments and translations' to early poetry so undermined his credibility that he never completed the full range of his intended series of texts. This study traces the origins, manifestations, and consequences of his dual nature through seven chapters. It considers the value of his solid earlier work, and balances it against the follies of his later translations, and seeks to give a fairer view of the value of his work to his own generation, and to those that followed on from him.

Le début des années 1990 constitue un tournant dans l'histoire de la bande dessinée, à la fois en termes de renouvellement des contenus et de montée en légitimité du médium. La maison d'édition L'Association, fondée en 1990 par sept auteurs, a été partie prenante de ces deux processus. Cette thèse est la première consacrée à cet éditeur et au rôle qu'il a joué dans la plus grande reconnaissance du médium. Alors que les travaux consacrés à la légitimation d'une forme artistique prennent souvent pour objet des médiateurs, celle-ci s'intéresse à des créateurs.Elle étudie la contribution de L'Association et de ses auteurs à cette montée en légitimité à travers une approche historique globale qui confronte l'analyse des revendications d'indépendance et d'alternative avec leurs traductions dans la pratique (fonctionnement interne, catalogue et livres). Pour cela, cette thèse s'appuie sur le recueil de sources orales auprès des auteurs et salariés de L'Association, sur des analyses à la fois externes et internes des œuvres publiées et porte une attention particulière au discours produit par l'éditeur. Cette thèse s'articule autour d'une première partie consacrée à l'histoire de la maison d'édition et de ses principaux auteurs, en s'efforçant de montrer en quoi ces derniers se distinguent du reste du champ de la bande dessinée, et d'une seconde centrée sur l'analyse de la politique éditoriale de L'Association, à travers l'étude de son catalogue et de ses principales réalisations. / The beginning of the 1990s was a turning point in the history of comics, both in terms of artistic renewal and in terms of the rise in legitimacy of the medium itself. The publisher L'Association, founded in 1990 by seven authors, contributed to both of these phenomena. This thesis is the first one about this publisher and the role it played in legitimising the medium. Whereas studies of the legimisation of art most often focus on intermediaries, this one is centered on creators. This thesis examines the contribution that L'Association and its authors make, by adopting a global historical approach which contrasts the analysis of independence claims with its practical manifestations (organization, title lists, and books). Therefore, our work is based on interviews from authors and workers from L'Association, on both external and internal analysis of its publications, and focuses closely on the discourse produced by the publisher. This thesis is in two parts. The first deals with the history of the publisher and its major authors, and tries to show how they distinguish themselves from the rest of the comics field. The second focuses on the analysis of the publishing policy of L'Association through a study of its title list and its main achievements.

This study consists of three main parts. Part I contains introductory matter and a presentation of the manuscript material which contains stories about Kavikumāra, one of the Buddha’s earlier lives, and a rough classification of the material. Part II contains editions and translations of some of the texts containing this story and in addition one text which is the source of a part of one text. Part III contains summaries and analyses of the main texts. Part I begins with a characterization of the avadāna literature genre followed by definitions of some terms used and a characterization of the texts treated in this study. All the known texts containing a story about Kavikumāra and their manuscript sources are enumerated. In Part II editions of some of the texts mentioned in Part I are found. Different types of editions and the relations of those types with my editions are treated. The characteristics of some of the manuscripts are described. The edition of the Tibetan translation of a part of the Sanghabhedavastu of the Mūlasarvāstivādavinaya is used as a check on Gnoli’s edition of the Sanskrit text, which is translated. The central part of this study is the synoptic editions of chapter 26 of Kalpadrumāvadānamālā and a prose paraphrase of the text and their translations. Critical editions of two more Tibetan texts and a diplomatic edition of two Sanskrit texts are also given. In Part III summaries of and comparisons between three of the main texts containing stories about Kavikumāra are made. The structure of the text in Kalpadrumāvadānamālā is described and the sources for the different parts are indicated. This text has been chosen for analysis because it is the earliest text which incorporates all the parts which are found in later texts containing the story. The relations of an extremely fragmentary text with the other texts are treated. A comparison of the stories about Kavikumāra and the Hero Story is made. The conclusion summarizes the main findings.
