Este trabalho apresenta ao leitor de língua portuguesa a tradução da obra crioula Antan denfance, de Patrick Chamoiseau. Para melhor compreensão dos aspectos linguísticos e extralinguísticos do livro, desenvolvemos um estudo inicial, dividido em três capítulos, que obedece ao percurso: contexto histórico, autor e obra. O primeiro capítulo contempla a história da Martinica, desde os primeiros habitantes até a colonização francesa, evidenciando as principais consequências do movimento colonizador no que diz respeito ao ser, ao espaço e à língua. No segundo capítulo, traçamos um perfil do autor, apresentando um pouco da sua produção intelectual, sua participação no movimento literário da crioulidade e seu projeto literário, de maneira a ressaltar suas peculiaridades estilísticas. O terceiro capítulo destina-se a refletir sobre as competências necessárias ao tradutor de obras culturalmente marcadas, analisando não somente as nossas principais escolhas tradutológicas, como a característica mais elementar de Antan denfance: o enraizamento na tradição oral. / This paper presents to Portuguese-speaking readers the translation of the Creole work Antan denfance, by Patrick Chamoiseau. For better understanding of linguistic and extralinguistic aspects of this book, we developed an initial study, divided into three chapters, which follows this path: historical context, author and work. The first chapter covers the History of Martinique, from the earliest inhabitants to the French colonization, highlighting the main consequences of the colonization movement to the individuals, the space and the language. In the second chapter, we have compiled a profile of the author, where we introduce some of his intellectual production, his participation in the créolité literary movement and his literary project, in order to emphasize his stylistic peculiarities. The third chapter intends to examine the skills necessary to translate culturally marked works, by analyzing not only our main choices of translation, but also the most elementary aspect of this work: rooting in oral tradition.

The texts in this study interrogate the dominant myths which have affected the constructs of identity and history in the white Australian socio-historical context. These myths are exposed by White as ideologically determined and as operating by processes of exclusion, repression and marginalisation. White challenges the autonomy of both European and Australian cultures, reveals the ideological complicity between them and adopts a critical approach to all Western cultural assumptions. As a post-colonial writer, White shares the need of both post-colonising and post-colonised groups for an identity established not in terms of the colonial power but in terms of themselves. As a dissident white male, he is a privileged member of the post- colonising group but one who rejects the dominant discourses as illegitimate and unlegitimating. He offers a re-writing of the myths underpinning colonial and post-colonising discourses which privileges their suppressed and repressed elements. His re-writings affect aboriginal men and women, white women and the 'privileged' white male whose subjection to social control is masked as unproblematic freedom. White's re-writing of myth enbraces the post-modern as well as the post- colonial. He not only deconstructs and demystifies the phallogocentric/ethnocentric order of things; he also attempts to avoid totalization by privileging indeterminacy, fragmentation, hybridization and those liminary states which defy articulation: the ecstatic, the abject, the unspeakable. He himself is denied authority in that his re-writings are presented as mere acts in the always provisional process of making interpretations. White acknowledges the problematics of both presentation and re-presentation - an unresolved tension between the post-colonial desire for self-definition and the post-modern decentring of all meaning and interpretation permeates his discourse. The close readings of the texts attempt, accordingly, to reflect varying oppositional strategies: those which seek to overturn hierarchies and expose power-relations and those which seek an idiom in which contemporary Australia may find its least distorted reflexion. Within this ideological context, the Lacanian thematics of the subject, and their re-writing by Kristeva, are linked with dialectical criticism in an attempt to reflect a strictly provisional process of (re) construction

This study represents an exploration of White's concept of transcendence in The Tree of Man and Voss by means of a detailed account of some of the key patterns of imagery deployed in these novels. White's imagery is a key mode of expression in his work, not simply manifesting in overarching religious symbols and framing structures but figuring in constantly modulated tropes continuous with the narrative, as well as in minor, but no less significant images occasionally susceptible to etymological or onomastic reading. While no attempt is made to provide an exhaustive exploration of the tropes at work in these novels, a sufficient range of material is covered, and its metaphoric density adequately penetrated, to highlight and explore a fundamental concern in White's work with a paradoxical unity underlying the dualities inherent in temporal existence. A useful way of approaching his fiction is to view the perpetual modulations of his imagery as the dramatisation of an enantiodromia or play of opposites, in which the conflicts of duality are elaborated and paradoxically - though typically only momentarily - resolved. This resolution or coincidence of opposites is a significant feature of his notion of transcendence as well as his depictions of illuminatory experience, and in this respect White's metaphysics share an essential characteristic, not only of Christianity, but a range of religious and mythological systems concerned with expressing a transcendent reality. Despite these analogies, however, the novels at hand are not so tightly bound to Christian, or any other, meaning-making systems so as to constitute sustained allegories, and hence this study does not aim to chart a series of correspondences between White's images and biblical or mythological symbols. Indeed, a criticism often levelled at White - with The Tree of Man and Voss typically figuring in support of this claim - is that he too rigidly imposes religious frameworks on his work. An extension of this view is formulated in the Jungian critique of White's corpus offered by David Tacey, who argues that White's conception of transcendence is consistently challenged by the archetypal significance of the images he employs, which point to a contrary process of psycho-spiritual regression in his protagonists. In a fundamentally text-based approach, this study explores White's use of imagery while taking biblical resonances and archetypal interpretations into account, and suggests that, though White's images are highly allusive, they are not merely agents of imported Christian, or other traditional symbolic values. Nor do they undermine the authenticity of his depiction of the spirituality of his protagonists, or obtrude on the fabric of the narrative. Instead, the range of his images are - though often ambivalent - integral to a network of mercurial tropes which articulate and constantly evaluate a notion of transcendence through inflections and oscillations rather than equations of meaning.

The focus of this thesis has been to engage in a hermeneutic dialogue with Patrick White's novel The solid mandala, to provide an explication of the dual nature of narcissistic wounding. To this end a brief review of Patrick White's novels is given, which traces a thematic development of the hero's strivings to attain wholeness and merger with an idealized image. This struggle is understood to reflect man's strivings to return to a state of omnipotent fusion with the maternal image, be it God, nature, the idealized other, or the self. Literature which reflects the dual nature of narcissistic wounding is reviewed, and the concept of narcissism is traced from the historical roots of Freud, to current understandings of the function and experience of narcissism. Emphasis is given to understanding the experiential nature of narcissistic wounding. As such it is implied that narcissism is a normal developmental component which requires the facilitation of containment and reflection for its transformation into appropriate adult functioning. The importance of the maternal environment is discussed, together with the various theoretical conceptualizations of the consequences of failure of the environment. The hermeneutic dialogue with the novel's description of the experiences of the twins, Waldo and Arthur provides the basis for an amplification of the experience of narcissistic wounding. This amplification is used as clinical material from which a number of psychoanalytic formulations are drawn. These formulations are supported by a number of clinical examples from the researcher's own practice. There appears to be evidence for the value of focusing on the dual nature of the experience of narcissistic wounding. This focus reveals two aspects of experience, a damaged, positive, libidinal aspect and a defensive, pathological destructive aspect. Amplification of these two aspects of experience contribute to further the understanding of the conflictual experience of narcissistic wounding, and suggest the necessity for such an understanding for effective therapeutic intervention

Le feuilleton romanesque en six volumes de Patrick Rambaud, publié aux éditions Grasset sous le titre Chronique du règne de Nicolas Ier, a recueilli un grand succès auprès des lecteurs durant sa parution de 2008 à 2013. En utilisant uneapproche à la fois satirique, intertextuelle et intermédiatique, l’auteur a voulu restituer le mandat politique du président Nicolas Sarkozy. Ce dernier apparaît sous les traits d’un souverain inculte et ridicule à la tête d’un empire factice, entouré d’une Cour apeurée. Pastiche et parodie, chronique et roman, mémoire et fantaisie, cette série d’ouvrages, construite à partir d’une revue de presse, recourt aussi à la fiction, à l’imitation et à la carnavalisation. Elle fait de la chronique l’instrument d’une mise en perspective de l’actualité, et réfléchit sur les enjeux du roman dans le nouveau système médiatique où l’information et ses supports connaissent une révolution par le numérique. L’œuvre de Rambaud expose également les scénographies mises en œuvre par l’auteur, ainsi que son propre positionnement dans le champ médiatique, selon une posture vintage particulièrement originale. Se dessine ainsi le portrait d’un romancier indépendant opposé à un système politique, mais aussi d’un intellectuel dont la chronique oppositionnelle est l’arme privilégiée. / The fictional feuilleton in six volumes by Patrick Rambaud, published at theGrasset editions, under the title of the Chronicle of Nicholas I’s reign, met with a great success nearby the readers, during its publication from 2003 to 2013. By using a satiric, intertextual and intermediatic approach, the author wanted to rebuild the political mandate of President Nicolas Sarkozy. That latter appears under the traits of a stupid and ignorant sovereign standing at the head of a fictive empire, surrounded by a terrified court. Pastiche and parody, chronicle and fiction, memoire and fancy, this series of works, built up from a press review, uses fiction too, imitation, and carnivalization. It makes of the chronicle the instrument of daily news focus, and ponders on the issues of fiction in the new mediatic system in which information and its mediums meet with a revolution via the numeric device. Rambaud’s work also shows the scenographies used by the author, as well as his own posture in the mediatic field, following a vintage position particularly original. Thus, one can draw the portrait of an independent novelist opposed to a political system, and also of an intellectual whose oppositional chronicle is the favourite weapon.

En villa har fått stå modell för olika typer av experiment och redovisar olika tankar och idéer kring ämnet. / This Master Thesis project examines the opportunities with future large scale 3D-printing in the construction industry. A lot is happening with new 3D-printers and materials and we are on our way towards a revolution in the art of construction. A future world where the robots and 3D-printers will play a big role. The project examines in detail how we can use this new technique. A villa have been a model for different types of experiments and shows different thoughts and ideas around the subject.

Nous fondant sur un corpus de deux romans de Patrick Chamoiseau, Solibo Magnifique (1988) et Biblique des derniers gestes (2001), nous nous proposons, dans ce mémoire, d'examiner l' évolution de la poétique d'écriture de Patrick Chamoiseau. Complexe et inépuisable, l' oeuvre de Patrick Chamoiseau est le lieu d'une esthétisation du réel, au profit d'une intention particulière, soit celle de ± sculpter¿ l'identité. Au coeur de chacune de ces oeuvres, la figure du ± Marqueur de paroles¿ représente le centre de gravité autour duquel s'articulera notre recherche. En interrogeant les mécanismes littéraires et les stratégies discursives déployés dans le texte chamoisien, nous voulons démontrer que l' écriture est l'aventure d'une quête identitaire du Soi.

Le présent mémoire est formé de trois parties. La première consiste en un récit intitulé Tout l'hiver. Il raconte l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui se retrouve, malgré elle, responsable de sa mère mourante et d'un amoureux dépressif, alors qu'elle-même vit chaque jour avec une douleur intense et constante. Elle appréhende cette tâche dont elle ne se sent pas capable, mais en viendra plutôt à veiller deux absences, dans l'attente d'un dénouement. La deuxième partie se consacre à l'analyse des romans Infrarouge de Nancy Huston (2010) et Les cheveux mouillés de Patrick Nicol (2011) et, en s'aidant notamment des théories de la psychologie narrative, de l'intersubjectivité et de l'empathie narrative, tâche de démontrer trois choses : d’abord, que l’identité et le rapport au monde des personnages des deux romans procèdent largement du récit; ensuite, qu’une tension entre sens et expérience s’y manifeste, notamment par l’entremise des corps; finalement, que ladite tension participe du surgissement au cœur même du texte d’une certaine matérialité. La troisième partie, écrite sous forme d'essai réflexif sur le processus de création, discute, en regard des conclusions de l'analyse des romans de Huston et Nicol, des enjeux relatifs à l'écriture de la douleur.
