French is essentential because the school system demands it : Une étude sociolinguistique sur les attitudes envers le français aux Seychelles

Brändström Nyström, Maja January 2018 (has links)
This study takes off in is its confirmation of the result of previous research: within the population of the Seychelles, the general attitude towards the French language is negative rather than positive. Such a state of affairs is uncommon to find in postcolonial countries, where the occidental languages tend to be highly esteemed. Through qualitative interviewing of Seychellois teachers, this study examines the reasons for said negative attitudes, combining the result of the interviews with sociolinguistic and postcolonial theories on language, attitude and identity. As reasons for the negative attitudes, the study points out the lack of domains in which to make use of French, as well as inadequate identification opportunities. The colonial heritage plays an active role in the shaping of linguistic attitudes in modern day Seychelles.

Écriture et identité aristocratique dans l’oeuvre de Barbey d’Aurevilly / Writing and aristocratic identity in Barbey d’Aurevilly’s work

Sorel, Elise 25 November 2016 (has links)
Notre thèse entend explorer de manière approfondie les modes de relation, problématiques et paradoxaux, de Barbey d’Aurevilly à l’aristocratie, en posant l’hypothèse que cette conscience identitaire est au fondement de sa conception et de sa pratique de l’écriture. Après avoir saisi l’idée que l’auteur se fait de l’identité aristocratique, dans une dynamique évolutive, et avoir décrit avec précision ce qui constitue pour lui les traits d’un aristocrate idéal, nous interrogeons plus particulièrement la manière dont il cherche à mettre en scène cette identité dans son style de vie et dans ses écrits. Comment concilier cette identité avec son statut d’écrivain ? Attaché à une posture aristocratique d’Ancien Régime qui privilégie la tradition de l’amateurisme et une esthétique de la négligence, Barbey d’Aurevilly légitime pourtant son écriture, de manière paradoxale, par le déploiement d’ethé aristocratiques, différents en fonction des genres abordés. Ces ethé donnent légitimité à ses prises de parole, en même temps que leur nature foncièrement ambivalente libère l’écrivain de contradictions personnelles en lui permettant de se réclamer de modèles prestigieux. Nous explorons enfin plus largement la manière dont une telle posture aristocratique influe sur sa conception de l’écriture et de la littérature, à travers une étude poétique et stylistique. / Our thesis intends to explore, through an extensive study, Barbey d’Aurevilly’s problematic and paradoxical ways of relationship to aristocracy, setting the hypothesis that this identity conscience lies at the basis of his conception and his experience of writing. After having grasped the idea that the author has developed about aristocratic identity, following evolutive dynamics, and having precisely described what constitutes for him the features of the ideal aristocrat, we mean to question more particularly the way he tries to assert this identity in his style of life and writings. How is it possible to conciliate this identity with one’s status of writer ? Attached to an aristocratic posture, dating back to the Ancient Regime, which privileges the amateurism tradition and aesthetics of negligence, Barbey d’Aurevilly legitimates nevertheless his writing art, paradoxically, by the display of aristocratic ethé, different according to the various genres involved. These ethé justify his discourses ; meanwhile their fundamentally ambivalent nature sets the writer free of his personal contradictions and enables him to invoke these prestigious models. Finally, we explore more largely the way such an aristocratic posture influences his conception of writing and literature, through a poetical and stylistic study.
