Cette thèse a pour objet, à partir d’une réflexion sur la littérature romanesque produite sur Barcelone, Marseille et Naples depuis 1975, la définition d’un certain type de personnage utile et pertinent pour écrire littérairement l’espace urbain contemporain dans le contexte épistémologique particulier de « l’âge postmoderne ». Dans un va-et-vient constant entre critique et théorie, la thèse se donne pour but de définir les caractéristiques, fonctions et effets spécifiques du « picaro urbain », personnage de la marge par excellence. Elle s’intéresse également, à partir de cette réflexion générale établie à partir d’une perspective locale et régionale, aux discours particuliers qu’ont pu produire les écrivains sur Barcelone, Marseille et Naples par le biais de ce type de personnage. En cela, la thèse s’inscrit aussi dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, en s’intéressant aux autres discours formulés sur ces trois villes,qu’ils soient scientifiques, artistiques, performatifs ou quotidiens. / Barcelona, Marseille and Naples, territories of the picaro urbainModelling a literary speech of the marginConsidering the novelistic production on Barcelona, Marseille and Naples since 1975, thiswork aims to define a type of character who is useful to write literarily the contemporaryurban space in the specific epistemological context called “the postmodern age”. Comingand going from criticism to theory, this thesis defines the main characteristics, functions andspecific effects of the so-called “picaro urbain”. He/she reveals himself/herself to be theprotagonist of the margin “par excellence”. Given this general reflection first made about alocal and regional perspective, this work is also interested in the specific speeches producedby the writers on Barcelona, Marseille and Naples through this kind of character. In doing so,this study also adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, looking at other speeches about thosethree cities, whether they are scientific, artistic, performative or daily.

in English This MA thesis focuses on the analysis of picaresque elements and traces of the picaresque genre in chosen novels of Angela Carter, namely her two most picaresque novels: The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman (1972) and Nights at the Circus (1984). However, as I have strived to prove throughout the analysis, Carter's earlier novels from the sixties, The Magic Toyshop (1967), and Heroes and Villains (1969) are also rich in picaresque themes and motives of the journey and therefore deserve to have their place in the analysis too. In the introduction the dissertation traces the history of the picaresque from its sixteenth-century Spanish roots until its more modern and postmodern development. It also stresses that in relation to Carter's work it is important to take into account her intertextuality. In describing it Linden Peach borrows Julia Kristeva's quotation from Semiotike, Recherches pour un Semanalyse where she observes that: "Every text builds itself as a mosaic of quotations, every text is absorption and transformation of another text."1 For Carter this is especially valid - her novels are hybrid, multi-layered mosaics which use and at the same time subvert mythology, the Bible, European and English literary works, Renaissance drama (Shakespeare), fairy-stories and folk...
