L'impact du cinéma dans le roman francophone d'Afrique noire

TEGOMO, Guy 26 July 2010 (has links)
In this thesis, I am interested in studying how African writers incorporate cinema in their works while focusing on the impact of Western and Asian films on the African public. My corpus includes writers such as Abdoulaye Sadji (Maïmouna), Ousmane Sembène (Les Bouts de bois de Dieu), Sylvain Bemba (Rêves portatifs), Tierno Monénembo (Cinéma), Henri Lopes (Le Pleurer-Rire) and Alain Mabanckou (African psycho and Verre Cassé). I use criticism by Freud, Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jean Bellemin-Noël, Christian Metz, Frantz Fanon, Achille Mbembe, Paulin Soumanou Vieyra and others to analyze, through the mechanisms of alienation, of depersonalization and corruption of the imaginary, the transmutation that cinema lovers in the African novel undergo. By « transmutation », I mean the process which leads to the expulsion of the individuality of some characters. This transformation will be manifested by an overactive imagination, by the exaltation of the most extravagant fantasies and by the violence inherent to the characters that now, in a perverse way, strive to reproduce in their social world the fictional world of movies that they have watched and which are fully disconnected from their environment. As these characters do not manage to draw the line that separates cinematic facts from their illusions, the narrative will suggest the confusion between cinema and "reality". Therefore, the loss of direction and other dealings will lead to personality disorders and criminal behaviors. / Thesis (Ph.D, French) -- Queen's University, 2010-07-23 13:33:45.297

La biographie historique en bande dessinée : une histoire alternative. Une étude de cas sur Louis Riel.

Demers, Hugo 09 April 2012 (has links)
Par une étude de cas portant sur les représentations de Louis Riel en bande dessinée, cet essai tente de comprendre comment les différentes composantes, constitutive du médium, sont mise en œuvre pour effectuer la mise en forme du discours historique de genre biographique. Quelle est donc la nature de ce discours? Est-il possible de lui accorder une quelconque légitimité historique? En analysant le parcours historique de la bande dessinée et son traitement en tant qu’objet culturel je vais démontrer que le médium continue de porter les stigmates de son passé et que les préjugés à son encontre constituent un obstacle à la reconnaissance de la crédibilité de son discours. La bande dessinée serait un art mineur, un sous-genre littéraire destiné, de par son essence, à traiter sur un ton léger et amusant les différents sujets qu’elle aborde. Pourtant, en prenant en considération les questionnements de nature épistémologique sur la discipline historique et plus particulièrement ceux sur le processus de mise en forme du discours biographique, on constate que la bande dessinée possède les composantes nécessaires pour soutenir une narration historique. En analysant à la fois sa forme et son contenu et en dressant des éléments de comparaison avec l’historiographie de Louis Riel, je vais démontrer que la bande dessinée constitue un médium postmoderne présentant un discours historique original et crédible.

Illegitimacy in the Mid-Victorian Novels of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins

Hansen, Tessa Louise January 2006 (has links)
The fiction of Dickens and Collins abounds with references to the illegitimate. In the mid-Victorian period there is an increase in illegitimate characters and circumstances which relates both to the topicality of the issue and to events in the authors individual and collaborative private lives. Illegitimacy addresses personal and social anxieties in four major novels of the 1850s and 1860s: Bleak House (1852-53), Little Dorrit (1855-57) by Dickens and The Woman in White (1860) and No Name (1862) by Collins. Dickens analyses illegitimacy in Bleak House psychologically and socially through Esther Summerson, but her narrative reveals contradictions between Dickens challenge of contemporary attitudes towards the illegitimate and his subscription to the moral code behind the views. In Little Dorrit Dickens confines his study of illegitimacy to character in order to examine the psychological consequences of illegitimacy on the individual. The novel suggests that illegitimacy is another form of social and legal imprisonment. In contrast in The Woman in White Collins exploits the sensationalism surrounding illegitimacy by using it to create an exciting plot at the inception of the sensation genre. His suggestion in this novel that bastards are legally blank and able to reconstruct their identity is continued in No Name; this later novel directly challenges the laws defining and controlling illegitimacy. While Collins never matches Dickens integration of social and moral issues into the novel s structure, the older author appreciated Collins strength in creating detective narratives. Illegitimacy was relevant to the private lives of both Dickens and Collins in the period. While the authors always tried to keep their public and private lives separate, their romantic relationships reveal a personal motive for discussing the plight of the illegitimate in their novels. There is a distinct possibility that Dickens had an illegitimate child with his mistress Ellen Ternan while Collins had three illegitimate children with Martha Rudd. The novels articulate the tension between what Dickens and Collins the authors were trying to achieve and what the novels themselves disclose.

Sites of similarity, sites of difference: constructing Canada in the graphic narrative

Leadbetter, Shandi 31 May 2011 (has links)
Canadian superhero comic books represent a politically significant opportunity to study popular conceptions of national politics, cultures, and identities. Canadian superheroes are 'others' in the shadow their American neighbours, but embrace this 'Not-American otherness' as a central factor defining Canadian national identity. The diversity of Canadian multiculturalism collapses into a monolithic white/male/Anglophone identity produced in the tensions created by the binary relmionship between 'self-as-other' and 'American' articulated by the texts, creating one universalised and naturalised "Canadian" identity. This thesis seeks to politicise existing surveys that ignore the political implications of the comic book texts, and to critique other problematic methodologies in the comics discourse: tendencies towards canon-building, and resistance to interdisciplinary methodologies. I forward a social/cultural/political analysis that draws equally on my multiple backgrounds and subject positions as a university-educated art historian, a popular culture critic, a Canadian, and a (feminist) reader and fan of superhero comic books. / Graduate

Where do the pictures fit in the overall picture? : graphic novels as literature

Hardy-Vallée, Michel January 2007 (has links)
Numerous artists and scholars advocate a literary consideration of graphie novels. However, their arguments seldom present a clear analysis of what makes graphie novels literary, let alone a clear definition ofliterature. This thesis seeks to fill in these explanatory gaps by arguing for the literary consideration of graphie novels, understood as a genre within comics, on the basis of an institutional theory of literature. As this theory posits a shared practice of production and appreciation of artistic value, the value of a literary work is not exclusively tied to the linguistic medium. On the contrary, pictures can significantly contribute to the particular value that literature affords. Nevertheless, the particular use of pictures in graphie novels exemplifies artistic conventions that are conceptually distinct from those of literature. A literary analysis can therefore explain partially, but not exhaustively, the artistic value of graphie novels. / De nombreux artistes et acteurs du milieu académique défendent une considération littéraire du roman graphique. Cependant, leurs arguments offrent rarement une analyse précise de ce qui rend le roman graphique littéraire, encore moins une définition claire de la littérature. Le présent mémoire vise à combler ces lacunes en justifiant la considération littéraire du roman graphique, défini comme un genre de la bande dessinée, sur la base d’une théorie institutionnelle de la littérature. Comme cette dernière postule une pratique partagée entre artistes et audiences de production et d’appréciation d’une valeur artistique, la valeur de l’ oeuvre littéraire n’est pas exclusivement déterminée par son texte. Néanmoins, l’usage particulier des images dans un roman graphique démontre la présence de conventions artistiques qui sont conceptuellement distinctes de celles qui gouvernent la littérature. Une analyse littéraire du roman graphique peut donc expliquer partiellement, mais non pas totalement, sa valeur artistique.
