A politics of memory : cognitive strategies of five women writing in CanadaThompson, Dawn 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to develop a counter—memory,
a cognitive strategy that provides an alternative to the
most prevalent mode of political action by members of
minority or subaltern groups: identity politics. It begins
with Teresa de Lauretis’ semiotics of subjectivity, which
posits the human subject as a shifting series of positions
or habits formed through semiotic and cognitive “mapping”
of, and being “mapped” by, its environment. De Lauretis
maintains that the subject can transform social reality
through an “inventive” mode of mapping. The first chapter
of this study is a semiotic analysis of the memory system at
work in Nicole Brossard’s Picture Theory. It argues that
Brossard’s use of holographic technology is an invention
that attempts to alter women’s maps of social reality.
Quantum physicist David Bohm has also employed the hologram
as a theoretical model. By merging Brossard’s holographic
memory with Bohm’s theory of a “holomovement,” this study
develops an epistemological strategy that alters not only
the map of reality, but also the dominant representational
mode of cognitive mapping.
This enquiry then moves on to other novels written in
Canada which have a strong political impetus based on
gender, nationality, ethnicity, race and/or class: Margaret
Atwood’s Surfacing, Marlene Nourbese Philip’s Looking for
Livingstone, Beatrice Culleton’s In Search of April Raintree
and Régine Robin’s La Ouébécoite. Through textual analysis,
it attempts to establish that although these novels make no
mention of holography, each of them employs a memory system
that inscribes itself holographically. That holographic
memory provides an alternative political strategy to the
“identity politics” at work in each of these texts. Each
text, in turn, like a fragment of a hologram, adds another
structural and political dimension to the hologram. The
processual structure of the holographic theory provides a
ground for alliances between different political agendas
while resisting closure. As an epistemological strategy, it
promises to alter both the method and the ground of
knowledge. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

De l'intime au collectif : pratiques féministes de déconstruction dans Journal intime de Nicole BrossardGascon, Audrey-Ann 05 1900 (has links)
Ce projet de maîtrise portera sur le Journal intime (1984) de Nicole Brossard, une œuvre singulière et peu connue de cette autrice majeure de la littérature féministe québécoise. Dans Journal intime, deux mécanismes animent le texte : la construction d'un sujet féminin écrivant et l'édification d'une communauté d'écrivaines sororales autour de la diariste. En brossant un portrait historique et esthétique de « l'écriture au féminin » (Boisclair, 1984 ; Lamy, 1984 ; Smart, 1988), j'examinerai la façon dont Journal intime s'inscrit dans l'œuvre de Brossard et, plus largement, dans le paysage littéraire et féministe québécois. En m'appuyant sur des notions de la poétique des genres (Auger, 2017 ; Hébert, 1983) et sur l'histoire des pratiques du journal intime au féminin (Didier, 1976 ; Roey- Roux, 1983), j'étudierai la façon dont Brossard utilise ou détourne les codes génériques et les pratiques conventionnelles du genre diaristique pour se construire une identité de sujet féminin écrivant, afin de transmettre son expérience sensible du monde. Je m'intéresserai également, à partir des notions de liminarité (Biron, 2000) et de sororité (Delaume, 2019 ; Ledoux-Beaugrand, 2013) à la manière dont se constitue dans le Journal intime une communauté de créatrices, basée sur la solidarité littéraire, artistique et politique.
Dans une visée féministe, Brossard inscrit sa pratique d'écriture dans ce que Lori Saint- Martin appelle le « métaféminisme », mouvement des années 1980 au Québec, particulièrement en littérature, qui se propose de « réécrire les métarécits patriarcaux » (Saint-Martin, 1992). J'avance l'hypothèse qu'en construisant une communauté de femmes et une filiation intellectuelle horizontale (Biron, 2000) plutôt que verticale, Brossard participe à la réécriture des métarécits patriarcaux de la société québécoise en y inscrivant un récit collectif féminin, voire féministe, à la fois individuel et collectif, ancré dans cette communauté intellectuelle féminine. Il s'agira de montrer comment, dans le journal de Brossard, l'individuel peut s'allier à la communauté, comment l'intime peut servir de tremplin vers le collectif et le social, afin de comprendre ce que cette ouverture implique pour le « féminin » et les « femmes » dans la société québécoise. / This master's thesis will focus on Nicole Brossard's Journal Intime (1984), a singular and little-known work by this major author of Quebec feminist literature. In Journal Intime, two mechanisms animate the text: the construction of a female subject and the building of a community of sororal writers around the diarist. By painting a historical and aesthetic portrait of “feminine writing” (Boisclair, 1984; Lamy, 1984; Smart, 1988), I will examine how Journal Intime fits into the work of Brossard and, more broadly, into the literary and feminist landscape of Quebec. Based on notions of genre poetics (Auger, 2017; Hébert, 1983) and on the history of feminine diary practices (Didier, 1976; Roey-Roux, 1983), I will study the way Brossard uses or diverts the generic codes and conventional practices of the diaristic genre to build an identity as a female subject writing, in order to transmit her sensitive experience of the world. I will also be interested, based on the notions of liminarity (Biron, 2000) and sisterhood (Delaume, 2019; Ledoux-Beaugrand, 2013), in the way in which a community of creators is constituted in the Journal Intime, based on literary, artistic and political solidarity.
In a feminist perspective, Brossard inscribes her writing practice in what Lori Saint- Martin calls “metafeminism”, a movement of the 1980s in Quebec, particularly in literature, which proposes to “rewrite patriarchal meta-narratives” (Saint-Martin, 1992). I put forward the hypothesis that by building a community of women and a horizontal (Biron, 2000) rather than vertical intellectual filiation, Brossard participates in the rewriting of the patriarchal meta-narratives of Quebec society by inscribing a collective feminine, even a feminist narrative, both individual and collective, rooted in this female intellectual community. The aim will be to show how, in Brossard's Journal intime, how the individual can unite with the community, how the intimate can serve as a springboard towards the collective and the social, in order to understand what this openness implies for the “feminine” and “women” in Quebec society.

Une poétique du personnage dans cinq romans québécois contemporains au féminin (1980-2000) : métaféminisme et postmoderneOprea, Denisa-Adriana 12 April 2018 (has links)
Ce travail a comme objectif de montrer le fonctionnement et de préciser le statut du personnage dans cinq romans québécois contemporains au féminin. Par le biais d'une approche poétique et psychosociologique, sont analysés Le sexe des étoiles (1987), de Monique Proulx, Copies conformes (1989), de Monique LaRue, Baroque d'aube (1995), de Nicole Brossard et L'hiver de pluie (1990) et La danse juive (1999), de Lise Tremblay. Le personnage est situé à la charnière d'une problématique double. En premier lieu, il relève du métaféminisme, c'est-à-dire d'un féminisme autre, distinct des courants de la deuxième vague. Il sous-tend une image nouvelle de la femme, de l'homme et de leurs rapports. Son fonctionnement témoigne d'un déplacement dans la définition des rôles sexuels et de genre. Dans le métaféminisme, le féminin et le masculin tendent à devenir des entités impures, poreuses, empruntant l'une à l'autre. Le personnage féminin métaféministe apparaît comme une femme libre et libérée. Sujet de son être et de son faire, elle revalorise l'amour, le couple et la maternité, tout en cherchant l'accomplissement professionnel et l'affirmation de soi au plan social. Sur un fond de remise en question des paramètres traditionnels de la masculinité, le personnage masculin métaféministe se présente comme changeant, en devenir. Il peut apparaître soit comme vulnérable, incapable de répondre aux attentes de la femme, soit comme équilibré, véritable « homme nouveau ». En second lieu, dans les romans étudiés, le personnage est issu d'une problématique postmoderne. Dans cette perspective, une double série typologique est mise en évidence ici : une série qui se revendique du postmoderne du décentrage et une série qui participe du postmoderne du vide. Le personnage du décentrage est impur et en devenir. Il perturbe la binarité du système de sexe et de genre et met de l'avant une ontologie provisoire et performative. Il s'appuie sur une conscience et sur une subjectivité nomades. Il est fragmenté et décentré, se refusant à la causalité et à la téléologie. La / le nomade est l'archétype de l'identité postmoderne. Le personnage du vide est éclaté, désubstantialisé, excessif et marginal. Il est le reflet d'un temps trouble, que dominent à la fois le désabusement et l'urgence de vivre, le mépris de la vie et la soif de sens, le manque d'« énergie vitale » et la tentation du geste. Dans les romans étudiés, le personnage relève d'une « philosophie métisse », à la charnière du métaféminisme et du postmoderne. Des personnages tels la transsexuelle, l'androgyne ou la / le nomade témoignent d'une alliance entre le métaféminisme et le postmoderne du décentrage. Cette alliance s'appuie sur une remise en question des systèmes binaires de sexe et de genre, sur une pensée impure, sur une ontologie en déplacement, sur des identités provisoires et performatives, etc. En revanche, un conflit axiologique oppose le métaféminisme et le postmoderne du vide. Il peut prendre la forme de la confrontation entre une culture des femmes, ancrée sur les valeurs de l'espoir, de la solidarité, de la responsabilité, de l'art, et une culture postmoderne, que dominent les simulacres et les simulations, les non-lieux et la violence Par ce travail, nous prônons la pertinence du concept de métaféminisme au sein de l'espace critique, mais pas uniquement québécois, et une lecture plus nuancée, tant esthétique qu'épistémologique, du féminisme, du métaféminisme et du postmodernisme.

L'imaginaire des genres littéraires, de Platon à Patrice DesbiensSimard, Mathieu 30 April 2019 (has links)
La théorie des genres se trouve à l’origine même de la conceptualisation par les études littéraires de leur objet. Les théoriciens des genres ont d’abord analysé les caractéristiques internes des genres comme entités réelles. Cette approche a provoqué une crise portant précisément sur la réalité — ou l’irréalité — de ces catégories, que les chercheurs ont voulu résoudre au XXe siècle grâce à une posture pragmatiste s’intéressant aux conséquences pratiques des catégorisations génériques davantage qu’aux genres littéraires en tant que tels. En s’attardant ainsi sur les conséquences pratiques de la généricité, la perspective pragmatiste, qui domine de nos jours la génologie, a mis de côté la composante imaginaire des genres. Cette dernière s’avère néanmoins centrale pour comprendre le rapport complexe des individus et des collectivités à la littérature. Aussi cette thèse argue-t-elle que les genres littéraires, loin d’être de simples catégories abstraites, sont des représentations. Après avoir revisité la notion de genre à partir de celle de représentation, la présente recherche s’engage dans une exploration de l’imaginaire des genres littéraires. Des exemples tirés de la théorie des genres, des origines à nos jours, permettent d’observer que même les génologies construisent des représentations des genres qu’elles entendent pourtant aborder de manière objective. Ensuite, la thèse se penche sur la littérature franco-canadienne contemporaine, qui constitue un formidable laboratoire pour explorer cette nouvelle théorisation du problème des genres littéraires, montrant que les catégories génériques reflètent dans ce corpus des enjeux sociaux, politiques ou existentiels. Les analyses présentées invitent en fin de compte les chercheurs à élargir leur compréhension de la généricité et à porter attention à sa dimension imaginaire, qui n’a, jusqu’ici, jamais été introduite dans une théorisation générale de la question des genres littéraires.

Subjetividade, ideias e coisas : estudo crítico e tradução da primeira parte da Lógica de Port-Royal, I-VIII / Subjectivity, ideas and things: a critical study of the first part of the logic of Port-Royal, I-VIII and the translation of the first partPeixoto, Katarina Ribeiro January 2012 (has links)
Estudo crítico e tradução da Primeira Parte da Lógica ou A Arte de Pensar, que ficou conhecida como Lógica de Port-Royal (1683), para a língua portuguesa. O estudo volta-se para a análise dos capítulos I a VIII da Primeira Parte e visa a explicitar o caráter híbrido desse manual de lógica, estruturado com o formato dos manuais de lógica escolásticos, inspirados no Organon aristotélico, e marcado pela recepção e vigência de teses cartesianas fundamentais. Embora o legado de Aristóteles se manifeste mais do que em seu formato, a Lógica de Port-Royal deve ser lida como um manual de lógica moderna naquilo que condiciona a sua inteligibilidade: a introdução de requisitos epistêmicos na determinação do domínio da lógica. No processo de reforma da lógica iniciado no século XV, Port-Royal se inscreve não apenas na crítica da concepção de lógica como instrumento para a demonstração silogística da ciência (como já o tinham feito, por exemplo, os lógicos renascentistas), mas na defesa da lógica como reflexão prática epistemicamente orientada, caracterizada pela tomada do juízo como ação mental definidora do domínio lógico. A presença de exigências epistêmicas deriva, em Port-Royal, da leitura de Descartes e do debate deste com Antoine Arnauld. Teses fundamentais do cartesianismo são arregimentadas para o projeto lógico de Port-Royal: a prioridade do pensamento sobre a linguagem; o desprezo da linguagem e da imaginação; a tese de que o uso de palavras derivaria da função, a um só tempo cognitiva e lógica, do juízo como definidora da lógica e, condicionando todas essas, a tese fundadora do cartesianismo enunciada na proposição Penso, logo sou. É a leitura arnauldiana do cogito cartesiano, defende este estudo, que dá a ver como se pode pensar o cartesianismo em lógica. A análise dos primeiros oito capítulos é temática, e a perspectiva reformista da Lógica de Port-Royal é apresentada no estudo da transição dos capítulos III para o IV, e do V para o VI, bem como do VII para o VIII. No capítulo VIII, o estudo se detém sobre o peculiar tratamento port-royaliano dos termos complexos. Em seguida, volta-se ao que configura o pressuposto subjetivo dessa concepção de lógica e à expressão representativa desse pressuposto, apresentados nos capítulos I e II da Primeira Parte do manual, onde os requisitos epistêmicos de uma lógica de ideias são apresentados e onde o caráter representativo dessas ideias obtém sua vestimenta gramatical (sujeito, predicado e adjetivo), veiculando determinações lógicas (coisa, modo da coisa, coisa modificada). Por fim, o estudo busca, na correspondência que Arnauld manteve com Descartes, em 1648, a origem e o fundamento da concepção de cogito que estará em vigor em Port-Royal, de maneira explícita, a partir de 1662. / Critical study and translation of the First Part of Logic or the Art of Thinking, known as Port- Royal Logic (1683), for the portuguese language. The study is focused on the analysis of chapter I to VIII of the First Part and aims to clarify the hybrid character of this manual of logic, which has the structure of scholastic logic manuals, inspired by the Aristotelian Organon, and the reception and effectiveness of key Cartesian theses. Although the Aristote’s legacy is far more importante than the shaping of the manual structure, the logic of Port-Royal should be read as a manual of modern logic in what conditions its intelligibility: the introduction of epistemic requirements in determining the domain of logic. In the process of reformism in logic started in the fifteenth century, the Port-Royal Logic is inscribed not only in the critic of the conception of syllogistic logic as a tool for the demonstration of science (as, for example, the renaissance has done), but also with the defense of logic as a kind of practical reflection epistemically oriented, characterized by tacking the judgment as the mental action by excellence, which defines the logical domain. The presence of epistemic requirements is derived from the impact of Descarte’s philosophy on Port-Royal and from his debate with Antoine Arnauld. Fundamental thesis of Cartesianism are regimented to the port-royalian conception of logic, as the priority of thought over language, the contempt of language and its origin, imagination, and, conditioning all these, the founder of Cartesianism thesis as stated in the proposition I think, therefore I am. The study argues that interpretation of the Cartesian cogito by Antoine Arnauld, mostly, offers a way to think Cartesianism in logic. The analysis of the first eight chapters is thematic, and the reformist perspective in Port-Royal's Logic is presented to study the transition of the III chapter to the VIII. Then, back up to the defended position, that is the assumption that the conception of subjectivity, of knowledge and the representative expression of this assumption are presented in Chapters I and II of the First Part of the manual. In these chapters are established the requirements of an epistemic logic of ideas and of the representative character of these ideas, which get its grammatical outfit (subject, predicate and adjective), conveying logical determinations (a thing, a manner of a thing and a modified thing). Finally, the study seeks in the correspondence that Descartes maintained with Arnauld, in 1648, the origin and the foundation of the concept of cogito which will be in force in Port-Royal, explicitly, from 1662.

Israeli military fiction: a narrative in transformationRubinstein, Keren Tova Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
The current study investigates changing attitudes to militarism within Israeli society since the tumultuous decades following 1948. Events leading to the current state of Israeli society will be traced in order to illustrate the way in which change occurs. The shifts in Israeli history and society during these decades will be examined alongside developments in Israeli literature. Accordingly, eight works of fiction have been selected to lie at the heart of the study. These works, all of which centre around the Israeli military experience, convey an erosion of personal, national, and ideological certainties. The analysis of these works demands three areas of exploration: the depiction of the soldier in the civilian setting, the depiction of the soldier as he interacts with other soldiers in the military sphere, and ‘post-Zionist’ military fiction produced in recent decades. These three areas of exploration entail an interrogation of gender, nationalism, and ‘post-Zionism’ in contemporary Israel. The works examined in the third chapter contain commentary not only upon the social reality of their authors, but also upon the way in which Israeli literature engages with the issues that inform its existence.

L’auteur au temps du recueil : repenser l’autorité et la singularité poétiques dans les premiers manuscrits à collections auctoriales de langue d’oïl (1100-1340).Stout, Julien 04 1900 (has links)
Cette thèse entend proposer une analyse originale du phénomène connu mais polémique que constitue l’introduction de la notion d’auteur dans la littérature de langue française au Moyen Âge. Il s’agira d’essayer de contribuer à repenser la signification poétique, culturelle et historique de ce moment particulier où l’auteur – c’est-à-dire l’attribution d’un texte ou d’une série de textes à un nom propre donné – s’est imposé pour la première fois comme un critère structurant et primordial dans la production et surtout la transmission des textes de langue française dans les manuscrits médiévaux. Usant du concept foucaldien de fonction-auteur, des théories de la réception et du paratexte, ainsi que de la « Nouvelle Codicologie », l’approche déployée ici aborde l’auteur en tant que construction textuelle et éditoriale signifiante au sein d’un corpus de recueils littéraires de langue d’oïl où la volonté de construire des figures d’auteurs par les éditeurs de ces ouvrages est à la fois claire et indiscutable. Partie à l’origine d’un examen systématique de la tradition manuscrite d’environ 320 noms de poètes de langue d’oïl actifs entre 1100 et 1340, l’analyse se concentre principalement sur 25 manuscrits contenant des collections auctoriales dédiées à 17 poètes, dont le nom est associé avec insistance à une série de textes copiés les uns à la suite des autres. Parmi ces auteurs, on trouve les célèbres Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf et Adam de la Halle, mais aussi Philippe de Thaon, frère Angier, Guillaume le clerc de Normandie, Pierre de Beauvais, Philippe de Remi, Gautier le Leu, Jacques de Baisieux, Geoffroi de Paris, Jean de l’Escurel, Baudouin de Condé, Jean de Condé, Watriquet de Couvin et Nicole Bozon.
La présente analyse tente de nuancer et de dépasser la lecture répandue selon laquelle ces manuscrits à collections auctoriales individuelles constitueraient, de concert avec les fameuses biographies de troubadours et les chansonniers de trouvères, souvent présentés comme leurs « ancêtres », les débuts balbutiants d’une vaste épopée de l’avènement de l’« auteur moderne », annonciateur tout à la fois d’une « subjectivité littéraire », d’une « esthétique autobiographique » et d’un contrôle accru des auteurs historiques, réels, sur la transmission manuscrite de leurs propres œuvres. Tout en offrant une mise à jour contextuelle et matérielle – données originales à l’appui – concernant la dimension collaborative de la genèse de ces recueils et le caractère modulaire de leur transmission, on montrera qu’ils sont le fruit d’un dialogue nourri avec le modèle livresque latin et pluriséculaire de l’auctor – qui est à la fois un auteur, un garant de la vérité (auctoritas) et un ambassadeur prestigieux de la grammaire –, ainsi qu’avec l’antique exemple d’œuvres dites « biobibliographiques », qui décrivent la vie et l’œuvre d’auteurs illustres et exemplaires, comme le fait le De viris illustribus de saint Jérôme. Les manuscrits étudiés usent à répétition de ce modèle ancestral de la biobibliographie (« la vie et l’œuvre ») pour mettre en scène un face-à-face entre auteurs de langue d’oïl et auctores. Or cette mise en regard s’avère d’autant plus intéressante que, contrairement à ce qu’on observe pour les troubadours, considérés très tôt comme de nouveaux auctores illustres en langue vulgaire, dignes de cautionner l’excellence de la poésie et de la grammaire d’oc, elle ne prend pas uniquement, en français, la forme d’une imitation ou d’une adaptation de modèles anciens. En fait, l’analogie avec les auctores donne lieu à des exercices savants, autoréflexifs et parfois ironiques sur la fabrique éditoriale, poétique et épistémologique du type d’auteur et d’auctoritas qui peuvent (ou non) être bâtis dans des recueils en langue d’oïl, idiome qui était encore dépourvu à l’époque (1100-1340) de véritable grammaire, et où fleurissaient en revanche les genres littéraires de divertissement comme le roman, où l’on explorait la porosité des frontières entre le vrai et le faux, entre le bien et le mal. Plus qu’un pas pris dans la direction d’un sacre inéluctable, l’« invention de l’auteur français » à laquelle procèdent les recueils étudiés est un geste pétri des incertitudes et des interrogations de ceux qui le posaient, et qui en mesuraient la profonde vanité au regard de Dieu et de la mort. / This thesis aims to provide an original analysis on an often studied yet controversial issue: the introduction of the notion of authorship in French language medieval literature. The objective here is to reconsider the poetic, cultural, and historical signification of the particular moment when the author – understood here as the attribution of a text or of a series of texts to a proper noun – first became an essential structuring criteria in the production, and more importantly, in the transmission of French-language texts through medieval manuscripts. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of fonction-auteur, theories of reception and of the paratext, as well as New Codicology, this thesis will consider the author as a signifying textual and editorial construction within several literary collections written in langue d’oïl, in which the editors clearly and undeniably sought to construct figures of the author. Based on the systematic examination of the manuscript tradition of approximately 320 names of langue d’oïl poets, who were active between 1100 and 1340, this analysis will focus primarily on 25 manuscripts containing authorial collections dedicated to 17 poets, whose names are strongly associated with a series of texts that are copied one after the other. Among these authors are the famous Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf and Adam de la Halle, as well as Philippe de Thaon, frère Angier, Guillaume le clerc de Normandie, Pierre de Beauvais, Philippe de Remi, Gautier le Leu, Jacques de Baisieux, Geoffroi de Paris, Jean de l’Escurel, Baudouin de Condé, Jean de Condé, Watriquet de Couvin and Nicole Bozon.
This thesis attempts to question and ultimately discard the common conception according to which the manuscripts containing individual authorial collections constituted – along with the famous biographies of the troubadours and the chansonniers of the trouvères, often considered as their « ancestors » – the timid beginnings of the rise of the « modern author », himself a prequel to « literary subjectivity », « autobiographical aesthetics » and an ever stronger control exerted by actual empirical authors over the manuscript transmission of their own works. While offering contextual and material updates – supported by original data – regarding the collaborative process that went into the creation of these collections, as well as the modular aspect of their reception, this thesis will show that these collections were formed through a rich dialogue with the centuries-old latin model of the auctor – who is at once an author, a guardian of truth (auctoritas) and a prestigious ambassador of grammar –, as well as with the antique tradition of « biobibliographical » texts, dealing with the life and works of famous and exemplary authors, such as De viris illustribus, by saint Jerome. The manuscripts studied here repeatedly used this ancient model of biobibliography (« the life and works ») in order to stage a competition between authors writing in langue d’oïl and auctores. This confrontation is particularly interesting when one considers that – contrary to what may be observed in the case of the troubadours, who were quickly seen as the new illustrious vernacular auctores, worthy of vouching for the excellency of langue d’oc poetry and grammar – , we are not simply dealing here with a form of imitation or adaptation in French of ancient models. In fact, the analogy with auctores allows for autoreflexive and sometimes ironic learned exercises, dealing with the editorial, poetic and epistemological creation of the type of author and auctoritas in manuscript collections in langue d’oïl, an idiom which at the time (1100-1340) lacked a true grammar, yet was used in various literary genres meant for entertainment, such as romance, which explored the evanescent barriers between truth and lies, good and evil. Rather than a small step in the long path towards an inevitable coronation, the « invention of the French author » undertaken by these collections constitutes an action that reflects all the uncertainty and interrogations of those who undertook it, while being fully convinced of its utter vanity in the eyes of God and death.
