Como gesto de resistência ao colonialismo e em relação às assimetrias impostas pelos centros homogênicos, em face do poder político das metrópoles europeias, escritores de margens periféricas assumiram um papel protagonista na luta pela libertação de seus países. Os sistemas literários que floresceram ao longo desse período de luta anticolonialista também estreitaram relações entre esses escritores, cujas ideias circularam pelas metrópoles e pelos territórios colonizados. No caso dos territórios africanos colonizados por Portugal, se em 1975 alcançaram a independência após mais de uma década de conflito armado, o mesmo não ocorreu com as ilhas antilhanas sob a dominação francesa exceto o Haiti, cuja independência se deu no século XIX. Desse modo, considerando essa diferença histórica, convocamos neste trabalho textos de reflexão do escritor martinicano Patrick Chamoiseau e o do moçambicano Mia Couto, cujos desempenhos como intelectuais, na cena global da informação, os colocam em destaque na busca por respostas capazes de discutir as tensões político-culturais próprias da contemporaneidade. Assim, propomos, pelo método comparativo e por critérios metodológicos dialéticos, analisar os ensaios Lintraitable beauté du monde adresse à Barack Obama (2009), uma coautoria de Patrick Chamoiseau e Édouard Glissant, e E se Obama fosse africano? (2009c), de Mia Couto, procurando destacar as estratégias de revisão epistemológica de conceitos eurocêntricos, bem como as de inserção do pensamento de margem na cena política global. Em um segundo movimento analítico, propomos confrontar três linhas de força que se apresentam nos romances Texaco (1993b), de Patrick Chamoiseau, e Jesusalém (2009b), de Mia Couto, quais sejam, as representações da memória, do feminino e do espaço. Entendemos tais representações como importantes elementos do campo de articulação de forças políticas direcionado à construção de projetos identitários na Martinica e em Moçambique, em relação com o sistema planetário. / As a gesture of resistance to colonialism and in relation to the asymmetries imposed by hegemonic power centers, facing the political power of the European metropolis peripheral writers played a significant role in the struggle for the liberation of their countries. Throughout this period of anti-colonialist struggle, booming literary systems also resulted in strengthening the relations between their authors whose ideas circulated in the European metropolis as well as in the colonized territories. Concerning the African territories colonized by Portugal, if they conquered their independence in 1975 after more than a decade of armed struggle, the same did not happen to the Antillean islands under French domination- with the exception of Haiti, which conquered its independence in the nineteenth century. Thus, considering this historical difference, we highlight in this work written reflections of the writer Patrick Chamoiseau from Martinique and Mia Couto from Mozambique whose performances as intellectuals in the global arena information stands out in searching answers that could be able to discuss the political and cultural tensions that are characteristic of our contemporary world . Thereby, through comparative analysis and dialectical approach, our aim in this work is to analyze two essays: Lintraitable beauté du monde adresse à Barack Obama (2009), co-authored by Patrick Chamoiseau and Édouard Glissant; and E se Obama fosse africano (2009a), by Mia Couto. At doing so, we also make an effort to foreground strategies to review Eurocentric epistemology and the marginal thoughts in the political global scene. In a second analytical deployment, this work attempts to identify and confront three guiding principles in the novels of the two writers Texaco (1993) by Patrick Chamoiseau and Jesusalém (2009b) by Mia Couto: the representations of memory, of the feminine and the space. We regard those representations as important elements of the field of the forces of political articulations aiming the construction of identity projects in Martinique and Mozambique in relation to the planetary system.

Dans le présent mémoire, nous avons voulu démarquer le parcours de Patrick Straram le Bison ravi des divers mouvements auxquels il fut associé et montrer l'inscription de sa trajectoire particulière dans son roman La faim de l'énigme. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à la biographie et à l'herméneutique, préférant la plupart du temps donner la parole à l'auteur plutôt qu'à ses commentateurs. La ligne suivie par sa trajectoire s'est peu à peu définie à mesure que la pensée des groupes auxquels Straram a été associé se précisait. L'hypothèse de départ était que Straram, bien qu'il soit associé à l'Internationale lettriste, à l'Internationale situationniste et au mouvement contre-culturel, proposait une réflexion différente de celle de ces mouvements. L'analyse de sa pensée et de ses pratiques a démontré que Straram était irréductible à tous groupements idéologiques et que ses textes ne cadraient jamais complètement dans aucun genre. Nous avons voulu mettre en évidence que c'est dans ses pratiques de la vie quotidienne, comme la dérive, l'expérience du jeu et les excès en tous genres, que Straram pouvait être lié à ces groupes, et non pas dans ses réflexions qui ont toujours débordé leurs cadres théoriques. Sa pensée a toujours été décalée d'une ligne éditoriale stricte. Elle est par essence marginale, tout en ayant absolument besoin d'un groupe pour s'exprimer, sinon elle deviendrait purement individualiste et perdrait de sa force. Straram semble chercher à exprimer l'individualité à l'intérieur d'un collectif. Le constat général qui s'est imposé est que sa pensée n'est pas centrée, mais éclatée, donc plurielle. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Patrick Straram le Bison ravi, Internationale, Lettriste, Situationniste, Contre-culture, Autobiographie.

FLAT! immerses us into the life and mindset of a Flat-earther who eagerly evangelizes the discoveries he and other Flat-earthers claim to have made. With his car clad in flat-earth messages, he travels around the country provoking discussions with curious bystanders and debating scientists. While he thrives in this pursuit, it is not without its costs.

In 1860, Patrick County. like the rest of Virginia and much of the South. wavered uneasily on the brink of secession. In a county where large planters were few, secession was not overwhelmingly popular. Slaveholding families, however, constituted almost one quarter of the white population in Patrick, as they did across the South, and when Virginia seceded. Patrick Countians flocked to serve in the Confederate Army. Although situated in Virginia, Patrick managed to escape physical decimation from war. In fact, no battles occurred in the county and Federal troops only invaded the county once in four years. Nevertheless, the Civil War came home to Patrick in a variety of ways: men were killed, livestock and crops impressed, and farms destroyed. With its prosperity of the 1850's disrupted by the war. Patrick's agricultural output dramatically decreased, industry failed, and labor shortages ensued. Despite the changes the Civil War brought to Patrick, the highest echelon of Patrick's social structure changed little. Those white men who had been well off before the war continued to flourish and continued to own the most and most valuable real estate. Small farmers before the war generally remained small farmers. Free blacks did not gain much status over the decades, and freedmen owned scarcely any land nor personal property; neither group by 1880 had achieved literacy. In Patrick County the rich stayed rich and the planters remained the most influential. / Master of Arts

Ce mémoire porte sur la signification et le fonctionnement du lieu dans Un dimanche au cachot, de Patrick Chamoiseau. Le roman s’organise en effet autour d’une figure spatiale : la ruine d’un cachot. La fusion de l’espace et du temps, l’entremêlement des trames narratives, l’écriture en palimpseste et la métaphorisation sont autant de moyens qui participent à l’élaboration d’une poétique chamoisienne du lieu. À partir de la notion de chronotope, de Bakhtine, la présente étude s’efforce de démontrer que le cachot constitue le centre organisateur des différents éléments du livre : personnages, présence de l’Histoire, style, structure narrative et postures énonciatives, ainsi qu’une métaphore de l’écriture et l’incarnation du roman lui-même.

The process of metaphrasis denotes the translation of a work of art from one medium into another. Opera is fundamentally an adaptive art form and contemporary opera has increasingly turned to the novel as the sophistication and range of the resources of modem music theatre have expanded. This dissertation will examine the contemporary operatic adaptation of five works of fiction. The method employed is a comparison of fictional and operatic discourse and an analysis of the translation of fictional narrative into operatic narrative. Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights poses particular narrative problems for operatic adaption while Herman Melville's Billy Budd is characterised by its intrusive narrator and a pervasive ambiguity. Joseph Conrad's novel, Under Western Eyes, exemplifies many of the narratological complexities of modernism, whereas Patrick White's Voss, a seminal postcolonial text, offers the operatic adaptor opportunities for the transcendence of language through music. The final chapter of this study will examine Henry James's tale, liThe Aspern Papers II , which incorporates many of James's reflections on literature and the literary life. The postmodernist operatic adaptation transmutes this self-reflexive fictional work into an opera profoundly concerned with the ontology of opera itself. This study will test the thesis that opera's affinity lies with the novel rather than with drama: that the fundamental narrative mode of opera is diegetic rather than mimetic. The main theoretic thrust proposes that the orchestra in opera performs a similar function to the narrator in fiction. As fictional characters exist only through the medium of their 'text' therefore, it will be argued, operatic characters exist only as part of their 'musical' text. Fictional narrative, while frequently conveying the impression of mimesis is essentially diegetic; operatic characters appear to possess a similar autonomy to their counterparts in drama, but can be seen as analogous to those in fiction and as a function of the diegesis of operatic narrative. Operatic characters are 'created' by the orchestral-narrator and have their being only as part of this narrative act. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1994.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2013-2014. / Mon mémoire de maîtrise porte sur la gestion du timbre comme genèse à la composition de trois œuvres originales : 1) Halocline – 11’45’’ – pour flûte, clarinette, percussions, violon, alto et violoncelle; 2) Le mot juste – 9’30’’ – pour orchestre symphonique; 3) Profondeurs de champ – 16’30’’ – pour orchestre de chambre. Après la présentation de mes préoccupations artistiques, des origines et objectifs de mon travail de création, j’expose l’ensemble de mes recherches préliminaires. Finalement, les œuvres sont sommairement analysées de manière à mettre en lumière des modes de gestion du timbre ayant menés à la composition des œuvres. Ceux-ci tirent leurs origines de réflexions sur des concepts génériques du timbre. 1) Halocline : combinaisons de timbres – l’orchestration traditionnelle; 2) Le mot juste : emprunt de la structure du syntagme « le mot juste » pour la gestion du timbre – la phonétique; 3) Profondeurs de champ : catégorisation de timbres – les techniques instrumentales avancées.
