Ficção de formação na era audiovisual : Salinger e Anderson & Wilson

Rollo, André Corrêa January 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur une étude comparative entre le roman L'Attrape-Coeurs (1951) de J. D. Salinger et le film Rushmore de Wes Anderson. (1998). Les deux récits dialoguent avec la tradition du genre romanesque connu sous le nom Bildungsroman (roman de formation ou roman d'apprentissage). En dépit du fait que les romans d'apprentissage ont continué d’être écrits, la forme a subi de nombreux changements pendant et après la période historique appelée modernisme. Parmi les principaux caractéristiques il y a les faits racontés dans un court laps de temps et la surligne sur le narrateur en première personne. Nous appelons ce genre de narration « fiction de la formation » parce qu’elle peut s'adresser au récit de cinéma et au récit écrit, selon le concept de "fiction" traité par Robert Stam. Nous avons découvert le terme «ère audiovisuelle » après avoir lu un article écrit en 1966 par le critique littéraire et historien austro-brésilien Otto Maria Carpeaux (1900-1978). Carpeaux avait supposé que la peinture (spécialement l’abstraite) dépasserait la littérature de l'importance dans la vie culturelle. Le plus important c’est qu’il a réalisé que les nouveaux médias audiovisuels (cinéma et télévision) sont vennus a être considérés et étudiés (ou rejetées) par les universitaires et les critiques. Ce phénomène avait déjà été décrit par Umberto Eco en Italie. Dans l’Ére Audiovisuelle et Après Modernisme c’est impossible d'écrire le développement d'un personnage de la manière habituelle, car les effets de la vie urbaine et la perception de la nouvelle imagerie ont été ressentis par l'écrivain et par le public. Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer la persistance du thème de la maturité dans la fiction de nos jours. Les résultats ont indiqué Salinger comme un diviseur dans ce genre de littérature et Wes Anderson et Owen Wilson des scénaristes importants d'un genre nouveau, "le cinéma de la formation". / Esta tese é um estudo comparativo sobre O apanhador no campo de centeio (1951), de J. D. Salinger, e o filme Rushmore (1998), de Wes Anderson. Ambas as narrativas dialogam com a tradição do gênero de romance conhecido como Bildungsroman (romance de formação ou romance de aprendizagem). Ainda que romances de aprendizagem continuassem a serem escritos, a forma sofreu muitas mudanças através do e após o período histórico chamado Modernismo. Entre as principais características estão os fatos narrados em um curto espaço de tempo e o destaque sobre o narrador em primeira pessoa. Chamamos esse tipo de narração de "ficção de formação" por que pode abordar tanto o filme como a literatura, de acordo com o conceito de "ficção" como tratado por Robert Stam. O termo "era audiovisual" foi cunhado depois de lermos um artigo escrito em 1966 pelo historiador e crítico literário austro-brasileiro Otto Maria Carpeaux (1900-1978). Carpeaux defende que a pintura (especialmente a abstrata) ultrapassaria a literatura em importância na vida cultural. O mais importante é que ele percebeu que os novos meios audiovisuais (cinema e televisão) passaram a ser considerados e estudados (ou rejeitados) por professores universitários e críticos. Esse fenômeno já havia sido descrito por Umberto Eco, na Itália. Na Era Audiovisual e Após Modernismo é impossível escrever o desenvolvimento de um personagem da forma habitual, porque os efeitos da vida urbana e da percepção do novo imaginário foram sentidos tanto pelo escritor como pelo público. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a permanência do tema do amadurecimento na ficção dos dias atuais. As conclusões indicam Salinger como um divisor de águas nesse tipo de literatura e Wes Anderson e Owen Wilson como importantes realizadores de um gênero cinematográfico, o "cinema de formação". / This thesis is a comparative study on J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye (1951) and Wes Anderson’s movie Rushmore (1998). Both narratives dialogue with the tradition of the novel genre known as Bildungsroman (novel of formation or novel of apprenticeship). In spite of the fact that novels of apprenticeship kept on being written, the form suffered many changes through and after the historical period called Modernism. Among the main features are the narrated facts in a short amount of time and the highlight on the first person narrator. We call that kind of narration “fiction of formation” for the reason it may approach both movie narrative and written narrative, according to the concept of “fiction” as treated by Robert Stam. We coined the term “audiovisual era” after reading an article written in 1966 by the Austro-Brazilian historian and literary critic Otto Maria Carpeaux (1900-1978). Carpeaux supposed that painting (specially the abstract one) would surpass literature in importance in cultural life. The most important thing is that he realized that the new audiovisual media (cinema and television) came to be considered and studied (or rejected) by the academics and the critics. That phenomenon had already been described by Umberto Eco in Italy. In an Audiovisual and After Modernism era is impossible to write the developing of a character in the usual way because the effects of the urban life and the perception of the new imagery were felt by both, writer and public. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the continuance of the theme of coming of age in fiction in the current days. The results indicated Salinger as a watershed in that kind of literature and Owen Wilson as an important screen writer of a new movie genre, the “cinema of formation”.

Propaganda and Poetry during the Great War.

Leadingham, Norma Compton 12 August 2008 (has links) (PDF)
During the Great War, poetry played a more significant role in the war effort than articles and pamphlets. A campaign of extraordinary language filled with abstract and spiritualized words and phrases concealed the realities of the War. Archaic language and lofty phrases hid the horrible truth of modern mechanical warfare. The majority and most recognized and admired poets, including those who served on the front and knew firsthand the horrors of trench warfare, not only supported the war effort, but also encouraged its continuation. For the majority of the poets, the rejection of the war was a postwar phenomenon. From the trenches, leading Great War poets; Owen, Sassoon, Graves, Sitwell, and others, learned that the War was neither Agincourt, nor the playing fields of ancient public schools, nor the supreme test of valor but, instead, the modern industrial world in miniature, surely, the modern world at its most horrifying.

L'articulation des perspectives objective et subjective en éthique chez Bernard Williams et Thomas Nagel

Binet, Yanick 24 August 2021 (has links)
Ce mémoire s'interroge sur la façon appropriée d'articuler les perspectives objective et subjective en éthique. Il évalue et compare les réponses respectives de Bernard Williams et de Thomas Nagel. Williams refuse de considérer la perspective subjective comme la seule acceptable en morale à cause du danger que cela représente pour l'identité personnelle et le savoir éthique forgé dans une communauté. Il propose plutôt que la morale soit basée sur des règles substantielles reflétant l'anthropologie propre à un groupe d'appartenance. Nagel met l'emphase sur une tension irréductible entre les perspectives, autant au niveau des choix individuels que politiques. Aussi, même s'il favorise la prédominance des exigences morales objectives, il ne néglige pas les préoccupations subjectives et propose des moyens de diminuer la tension perspectuelle. J'esquisse finalement un moyen de dépasser Williams et Nagel dans la réconciliation des perspectives et l'accroissement de la motivation morale, en ayant recours au dialogue intersubjectif.

Crisis, Shell-Shock, and the Temporality of Trauma: Cultural Memory and the Great War Combatant Experience in Owen, Graves, and Barker

Kelly, Dylan 01 May 2014 (has links)
The year 2014 will mark the centennial of the outbreak of World War I in August 1914. This historic anniversary will likely provoke several discussions from all fields in the humanities concerning the Great War's significance on contemporary culture through history, visual art, and in the case of this essay: literature. In light of this event, any serious discussion among scholars should undeniably begin with how the war continues to be represented today through a thorough, contemporary analysis of its many key literary texts. This essay will examine, in this regard, how past and contemporary discourses in literary theory-primarily concerned with how an individual combatant subject attempts to construct and understand their own traumatic experiences through poetic and literary discourse-can continue to incite discussion on why literature of the Great War and its influential role in defining how it has come to be understood in our cultural memory remains relevant even today. Under the guiding influence of Paul Fussell's classic The Great War and Modern Memory, I will discuss how three important works-a poetry collection, a memoir, and a modern work of historical fiction-all contribute to how the war has become represented as a tragic rupture in history that reversed the idea of human progress and left an entire generation disillusioned in its aftermath, regardless of the historical veracity of this legacy. The texts I will be examining include: select poems of Wilfred Owen, Goodbye to All That by Robert Graves, and Regeneration by Pat Barker. In addition to this, I will conclude with an analysis of how a contemporary reading of these texts can contribute to a larger discussion of the crisis of historicity in our current post-modern cultural landscape.

The marriage between sciences and the state in George Orwell's Nineteen eighty-four, Anthony Burgess's A clockwork orange and Owen Gregory's Meccania: the superstate

Kebsi, Jyhene 18 April 2018 (has links)
Nineteen Eighty-Four de George Orwell, A Clockwork Orange d'Anthony Burgess et Meccania: The Superstate d'Owen Gregory révèlent trois régimes oppressifs qui manipulent la science dans le but de contrôler leurs populations. Les auteurs dénoncent la déshumanisation et l'esclavage générés par cette collaboration politico-scientifique. Ainsi, cette étude va explorer les dystopies susmentionnées en analysant leur critique du mariage politico-scientifique. Je vais montrer que la coopération entre les politiciens et les scientifiques est destinée à contrôler les individus et à pénaliser les éléments dissidents. Je vais examiner les mécanismes politico-scientifiques de surveillance et de punition, tout en montrant que les politiciens usent de la science pour assurer la continuité et la stabilité des régimes tyranniques. Finalement, je vais souligner la capacité de l'écriture à dévoiler les abus politico-scientifiques, et à prévenir une coalition entre la connaissance scientifique et le pouvoir despotique.

Duas representações de família : "Os Glass", de J. D. Salinger, e "Os Tenenbaum", de Wes Anderson & Owen Wilson

Rollo, André Corrêa January 2006 (has links)
O presente trabalho analisa o tema das famílias desajustadas no sistema ficcional norte-americano. Os corpora estudados são os contos sobre a família Glass, de J. D. Salinger, e o roteiro do filme The Royal Tenenbaums, escrito por Wes Anderson e Owen Wilson. O enfoque comparatista aqui desenvolvido é duplo: de um lado, o diálogo temático entre a obra dos diferentes autores, de outro lado, a investigação sobre os modos em que os contos de Salinger e o filme dialogam com as demais artes. Desta forma, a leitura crítica aqui efetuada rastreia as estratégias intertextuais e inter-artísticas presentes nos corpora. A análise temática é desenvolvida a partir da definição de um conceito de desajuste. A inadaptação pode ser vista como uma inadequação ou reação do indivíduo ao grupo ou comunidade a que pertence, aos pensamentos, valores e modos de agir desta. Tanto os Glass quanto os Tenenbaums são irmãos que, quando crianças, foram destacadamente brilhantes em atividades comumente desempenhadas por adultos. Ao amadurecer tornaram-se pessoas problemáticas com dificuldades de relacionamento pessoal. Para chegar à síntese da leitura comparativa visualizamos três elementos comuns em ambos os corpora: o conflito do indivíduo com o mundo; a dificuldade da comunicação pessoal (além de discorrermos sobre as estratégias da comunicação ficcional) e a dificuldade em lidar com a instabilidade. Ao final, examino como tais problemas são superados pelos personagens. Além disso, também tentamos descrever como tais obras inserem-se na tradição ficcional norte-americana de produção obras cujo tema principal são as problemáticas relações familiares. / The present work analyses the theme of maladjusted families in the American fictional system. The corpora consists of the short stories about the Glass family, by J. D. Salinger, and the screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums, written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. The comparative approach here developed is twofold: on the one hand, a thematic dialogue between the different authors' works, on the other hand, a research about the ways in which Salinger's stories and the film dialogue with another arts. Thus, the critical reading searches the intertextual and interartistic strategies present in the corpora. The thematic analysis is developed from a definition of a concept of maladjustment. Maladjustment can be seen as an individual's inadequacy or reaction to the group or community to which he/she belongs, to the thoughts, to the values and ways of behaviour. Both Glass and Tenenbaums are siblings which, when children, were outstandingly brilliant in activities mainly fullfilled by adults. Coming of age they become problematical with difficulties in personal relationship. To summarize the comparative reading we highlight three elements in common to both corpora: the individual's conflict with the world; the difficult of the personal communication (besides the strategies of fictional communication) and the difficulty in deal with instability. Finally, I examine how such problems are overcome by the characters. Besides this, I also try to describe how such works are inserted in the American fictional tradition of producing works whose main theme is the problematic family relationship.
