L'affaire Moro : histoire et fiction / Il caso Moro : storia e finzione / The Moro case : history and Fiction

Perrone, Lia 20 October 2018 (has links)
Le 16 mars 1978, à Rome, les Brigades Rouges enlèvent l’ancien président du Conseil Aldo Moro, qui sera assassiné par les terroristes après une longue séquestration. Cet épisode a fortement marqué l’histoire récente de l’Italie, mais sa lecture reste controversée en raison des zones d’ombre qui entourent les faits aujourd’hui encore, suscitant un réel besoin de compréhension des évènements. En réponse à ce besoin, des écrivains et artistes provenant de milieux différents se sont emparés au fil du temps de l’histoire d’Aldo Moro pour en donner leur propre lecture et proposer ainsi une « autre » interprétation, qui pose un regard nouveau sur les faits. Ainsi l’affaire Moro a été transformée en objet narratif au croisement entre l’histoire et la fiction. Dans cette thèse nous étudions la transformation de l’enlèvement et de l’assassinat d’Aldo Moro en événements et en récit de ces événements. Par ailleurs, nous réfléchissons au potentiel heuristique de ces réécritures en nous interrogeant sur leurs implications mémorielles. Le premier apport critique de notre travail consiste à donner une systématisation aux narrations de l’affaire Moro produites de 1978, au lendemain des événements, à 2013, trente-cinquième anniversaire de la mort de l’homme politique : romans divers et variés, pamphlets, autobiographies, livres de mémoires, pièces de théâtre, films. Ce corpus extrêmement composite constitue désormais une « macronarration transmédiatique » organique et mérite de ce fait d’être considéré dans son ensemble. Pour définir les caractéristiques de la macronarration, nous conduisons une analyse approfondie ainsi qu’un examen comparatif des textes : en ayant recours aux apports multiples de la narratologie, nous évaluons les aspects formels des réécritures de l’affaire Moro, observons la transformation d’Aldo Moro de figure historique en personnage de fiction et étudions le dialogue transmédiatique, intra- et interdisciplinaire entre les œuvres de fiction et, le cas échéant, entre ces œuvres et les discours historiographiques et journalistiques, ainsi qu’avec les témoignages de quelques-uns des protagonistes des événements. En faisant référence aux apports théoriques de l’esthétique de la réception, nous interprétons également les relations entre l’auteur, l’œuvre et le public avec l’objectif d’approfondir et de mettre à jour la question des influences réciproques entre réécritures de l’affaire Moro et imaginaire collectif. / On March 16, 1978, the Red Brigades kidnap the former President of the Council of Ministers Aldo Moro, who will be assassinated by the terrorists after a long sequestration. This episode has strongly marked the recent history of Italy, but its interpretation remains controversial because of the gray areas that still surround the facts that need clarifications. In response to this need, writers and artists from different backgrounds have looked into the history of Aldo Moro in order to cast a new light on it and give "further" interpretations. Thus the Moro case has been transformed into a narrative object at the crossroads between history and fiction. In this thesis we study the transformation of the abduction and murder of Aldo Moro into events and their narration. In addition, we reflect on the heuristic potential of these rewritings by asking about their memory implications. Our first critical contribution is to give a systematization to the narratives of the kidnap and murder of Aldo Moro produced starting from 1978, in the aftermath of events, up to 2013, the thirty-fifth anniversary of the death of the politician: novels, pamphlets, autobiographies, memoir books, plays, movies. This extremely composite corpus is by now an organic "transmediatic macro-narration" and it deserves to be considered as a whole. To define the characteristics of this macro-narration, we conduct an in-depth analysis but also a comparative examination of the texts. By resorting to the multiple contributions of narratology, we evaluate the formal aspects of the rewrites of the Moro case and, at the same time, we observe the transformation of Aldo Moro from an historical figure to a fictional character. In addition, we study the intra and interdisciplinary dialogue between works of fiction and, where appropriate, between these works and historiographical and journalistic discourses. With regard to the theoretical contributions of the aesthetics of reception, we also interpret the connections between the author, the work and the audience with the aim of deepening and updating the question of the reciprocal influences between the rewritings of the Moro case and the collective imagination.

Eclats et absences. Fictions ethnographiques / Shards and absences. Ethnographic fictions

Huertas Millan, Laura 27 April 2017 (has links)
“Eclats et absences. Fictions ethnographiques” développe une enquête autour de la représentation ethnographique, donnant lieu à un ensemble de films où s’entrelacent l’anthropologie et la fiction : les “fictions ethnographiques”.Cette enquête sensible et pratique commence autour de la notion d’exotisme, en analysant la construction de “l’indigène” dans le “Nouveau Monde”. Ces premières recherches donnent lieu à des films mettant en scène de “jungles” in vivo et in vitro, en Europe et en Amérique, qui relient des jardins botaniques et serres tropicales aux archives de la colonisation. Ces films explorent ainsi les moments de “premier contact” entre voyageurs et autochtones. La fiction apparaît comme stratégie narrative pour faire contrechamp à une Histoire racontée majoritairement du point de vue des conquérants.L’enquête établit par la suite un dialogue avec l’anthropologie visuelle. Il s’agit d’opérer un déplacement par rapport à l’ “ethnofiction” articulée par Jean Rouch, tout en incluant les démarches le précédant et celles postérieures à lui, où l’ambigüité est de mise entre l’immersion ethnographique et la fiction. Un ensemble de nouveaux films est développé entre le laboratoire d’ethnographie expérimentale le Sensory Ethnography Lab de l’université de Harvard, la Colombie et le Mexique.Si cette recherche doctorale prends source dans l’analyse des représentations cinématographiques de “l’indigène”, elle évolue au fil du temps vers l’auto-ethnographie et l’autofiction, démarches auto-réflexives pour construire une place d’énonciation singulière. Ainsi, il ne s’agit plus de “parler sur…” une communauté (démarche propre du documentaire télévisuel), mais plutôt parler de “près d’(elle)” (en suivant les mots de la réalisatrice Trinh T. Min-ha) ou bien de “parler avec” elle (faisant écho à la formulation de l’anthropologue Eduardo Viveiros de Castro). La fiction et ses recours narratifs sont indispensables dans les films crées lors de cette enquête : elle construit un espace partagé, des laboratoires politiques pour penser l’émancipation sociale, individuelle et collective. Sol Negro (2016) et La Libertad (2017) constituent les pièces clés de cette dernière série.La création de ces oeuvres a aussi donné naissance à un ensemble d’écrits, d’articules publiés, de performances et à une exposition publique de fin de thèse, intitulée “Disappearing operations — Opérations de la disparition, Opérations disparaissantes, Opérations pour disparaître”. Cette exposition itinérante, matérielle et immatérielle, s’est déroulée entre le 30 novembre et le 15 décembre 2016, au Cinéma Le Méliès, Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, les Beaux-Arts de Paris. / "Shards and absences. Ethnographic fictions” develops a survey around ethnographic representation, giving rise to a series of films in which anthropology and fiction intertwine: the "ethnographic fictions ".This sensitive and practical inquiry begins around the notion of exoticism, analyzing the construction of "the native" in the "New World". This initial research gives birth to films staging in vivo and in vitro jungles in Europe and America, which link botanical gardens and tropical greenhouses with the archives of colonization. These films also explore the moments of "first contact" between travellers and natives. Fiction appears as a narrative strategy to counteract a History mostly told from the point of view of the conquerors.The inquiry then establishes a dialogue with visual anthropology. A displacement is made in regard to Jean Rouch’s "ethnofiction", while including the practices preceding him, and those subsequent to him, with an intrinsic ambiguity between ethnographic immersion and fiction . A series of new films are developed between the laboratory of experimental ethnography Sensory Ethnography Lab of Harvard University, Colombia and Mexico.If this doctoral research takes its source in the analysis of the cinematographic representations of the "native", it evolves over time towards forms of auto-ethnography and autofiction, self-reflexive approaches to construct a place of singular enunciation. Thus, it is no longer a question of "talking about ..." a community (a specific approach of the television documentary), but rather of speaking "close to it" (following the words of the director Trinh T. Min-ha ) or to "speak with" it (echoing the formulation of the anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro). Fiction and its narrative uses are indispensable for the films created during this inquiry: it allows building a shared space, political laboratories to think of social emancipation, on an individual and collective level. Sol Negro (2016) and La Libertad (2017) are the key pieces of the latter series.The creation of these works also gave birth to a set of writings, published articulations, performances and a public exhibition at the end of this thesis, entitled "Disappearing operations" . This traveling exhibition, material and immaterial, took place between 30 November and 15 December 2016, at the Cinéma Le Méliès, Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers and the Beaux-Arts in Paris.

In Her Place

D'Alessandro, Maria 23 May 2014 (has links)
This is a collection of short stories linked by place and subject. I rely on concrete details, rhythm and tone to create the place and setting of the Tivoli Bay, which acts as a central force in the lives of the characters. The characters are drawn to the bay and to one another by the neediness of secrets.

Himilco, and Other Stories

Hunsberger, Jonathan Caldwell 22 May 2014 (has links)
Viktor Shklovsky writes that "the technique of art is to make objects 'unfamiliar,' to make forms difficult, to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged." This collection of short fiction capitalizes on that aim, weaving together history and humor with an absurd, biographical style. "Himilco and Other Stories" includes several pieces of constrained fiction in the style of Oulipan authors, but produced with original rules and algorithms. "Zugzwang" results naturally from Donald Barthelme's form, whereas other stories capitalize on a more modern interpretation of the much-used zoomorphic narration. Most are written in the first-person perspective, though the scope and focus of each often speaks to a broad human philosophy. Stories range from the dark pine forests of Maine to ancient Tunisian deserts, and are often told by jaunty, untrustworthy narrators. Taken as a whole these stories lay bare a desperation born from absence and disrepair, fear and adolescence--eight stories that struggle to answer the question, how do we get better?
