[pt] Esta dissertação é um estudo experimental que busca investigar a construção da referência de expressões nominais inseridas em contextos discursivos. Um dos objetivos foi analisar se falantes nativos do português brasileiro fazem uso de informações dadas no contexto para interpretação de expressões nominais definidas. O outro objetivo foi verificar em que medida presença de traços de personalidade esquizotípica em falantes normais interfere na integração de informações contextuais na construção da referência. Para realizar a investigação, foi conduzido um teste de linguagem acompanhado de dois questionários psicométricos para medir traços gerais de personalidade esquizotípica e traços de desordens do pensamento. O experimento foi conduzido com adultos universitários do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados indicam que no geral os falantes do português brasileiro têm preferência por interpretar uma expressão nominal definida como se referindo a uma única entidade, mas são sensíveis às informações dadas no contexto, de modo que a referência de uma expressão nominal definida pode ser uma classe de indivíduos quando o contexto fornece informações ostensivas nessa direção. Correlações entre os resultados do teste de linguagem e os resultados dos questionários psicométricos sugerem que falantes com baixas habilidades para conversas e afeto constrito apresentam possibilidades interpretativas mais restritas, especialmente quando o contexto favorece referência a um único individuo. Embora, a investigação conduzida sobre a relação entre linguagem e esquizotipia seja preliminar, os resultados encontrados indicam possíveis interferências de traços de personalidade esquizotípica na construção da referência pela linguagem. / [en] This thesis is an experimental study to investigate how the reference of nominal expressions is built within a discourse context. The first goal was to analyze how native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese use contextual information in interpreting definite descriptions. The second goal was to determine whether or not traces of schizotypal personality can interfere in the integration of contextual information in building reference. The linguistic experimental study was accompanied by two psychometric scales. The psychometric scales were used to measure general traits of schizotypal personality and thought disorders. The participants in the experiment were adult native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese from Rio de Janeiro, and the results showed that in general the participants had a significant preference for interpreting a definite description as referring to a single entity. However, they were sensitive to contextual information and reference to a group of entities (king reading) was licensed when the context was favorable. Correlations between the linguistic results and the results of the psychometric scales suggest that speakers with low conversational ability and constricted affect are more restrictive in their interpretation choices, displaying a greater preference for reference to a single entity, especially in contexts favoring single entity reference. Although this is a preliminary investigation, our experimental findings indicate that traits of schizotypy can interfere in how reference is built within language.

This is a postmodernist dissertation contextualised within the new epistemology. The dissertation's descriptive methodology mirrors a personal journey from intrapsychic to ecosystemic psychology which operates within the domain of language and narrative discourse. As such it is founded on the principles of ecosystemic rather than Newtonian thinking. A conversation between various participants constructs the dissertatioi1 through polyphony and academic dialogue. This is then deconstructed through the use of metalogue thereby allowing the dissertation to operate simultaneously on a number of different levels. As it is a postmodernist text, the structure is in a sense an 'anti-structure' in that it is indirect while it is still acknowledged as a construction. In this way it is constructed and deconstructed in terms of its own premises. Expectations in terms of conventional dissertation formulae are challenged without negating academic requirements. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marisa Ester Aldecoa.pdf: 726730 bytes, checksum: 42b047f4259441a5764a6b2fb5d9e2af (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-05-09 / This is a master s degree research that has as a goal to discuss the processes of educational planning and of the continued formation of the teachers of Ensino Médio, involving the aspects of group work from the part of the educators/teachers, the moment of registering, the teaching and pedagogical coordination s knowledge and the construction of the teaching autonomy. This work aims to answer the following questions: Why is it so hard to make the work of planning, the exchange of experience, the group study happen in the school, even when there are paid hours for that? Why isn t the time destined to planning, to the exchange of experience, to the evaluation of the pedagogical work and to the continued formation well enjoyed/taken advantage of in the school? State and municipal government and even many proprietors of private institutions generally put down the educator s throats their projects, not asking for their contribution and the most important, not asking for the involvement on the elaboration process. Are the teachers, when resisting the planning process, reacting to this authoritarian way of initiating politics? If not, what are the reasons that take the teacher to reject the changes in his/her practice? What are the questionings that teachers make considering the planning/plan? The dissertation has as a general objective to analyze the answers presented in the explanatory survey made at the beginning of the research, with four teachers of the same Ensino Medio private school and relate them to the bibliographic studies presented from several authors that study this subject. It still intends to focus on the how teachers can use better the process of the group work to a reflexive movement of the act of educating; on the how much the provided and paid hours can contribute to the discussions about the teaching-learning-evaluating process. As a methodological procedure, besides the initial interview, there was a bibliographic study made on the importance of the word based on Freud s studies and, also, the importance of the multi-referential approach for allowing a plural and more human look on the educational processes. Studies on the concepts attributed to the curricular planning politics: the planning and the teaching plan practices built daily. As results, even if they are temporary, we point to: the documents that were built collectively, in an organized space that was provided by the managers of the school; the construction of memory and authorship, the reflection of practices, the visibility of the work and the pedagogical result. The work still considers the importance of continued formation, planned in paid and guaranteed moments provided by the institution, the importance of the construction of knowledge: teachers and pedagogical coordinator and the history of the practices of registering the plans as inherent aspects to a pedagogical project and that must be recognized, valued and stimulated by the institution s politics.(AU) / Trata-se de uma pesquisa de mestrado que tem por objetivo discutir os processos de planejamento educacional e de formação continuada do professor de Ensino Médio, envolvendo aspectos do trabalho coletivo dos educadores/professores, o momento do registro, os saberes docentes e do coordenador pedagógico e a construção da autonomia docente. O trabalho visa responder às seguintes questões: por que é tão difícil que o trabalho de planejamento, a troca de experiência, o estudo conjunto aconteçam na escola, mesmo quando são destinadas horas remuneradas para esses fins? Por que as horas destinadas ao planejamento, à troca de experiências, à avaliação do trabalho pedagógico e à formação continuada não são bem aproveitadas na escola? Muitos governos estaduais e municipais e mesmo muitos mantenedores de instituições privadas, geralmente "enfiam goela abaixo" dos educadores os seus projetos, não solicitando dos mesmos a contribuição, e o que é mais importante, o envolvimento no processo de elaboração. Os professores, ao resistirem aos processos de planejamento, estão reagindo a essa forma autoritária de desencadear políticas? Se não, que razões levam o professor a rejeitar mudanças em sua prática? Quais questionamentos fazem os professores em torno do planejamento/plano? A dissertação tem como objetivo geral analisar as respostas apresentadas da sondagem exploratória realizada no início da pesquisa, com quatro professores de uma mesma escola de Ensino Médio da rede particular, e relacioná-las aos estudos bibliográficos apresentados a partir de diversos autores estudiosos no assunto. Pretende, ainda, enfocar o "como" os professores poderiam utilizar melhor o processo do trabalho coletivo para um movimento reflexivo do ato de educar; o "quanto" as horas previstas e remuneradas poderiam contribuir para as discussões sobre o processo ensino-aprendizagem-avaliação. Como procedimento metodológico, além da entrevista inicial, foi realizado um estudo bibliográfico sobre a importância da palavra a partir dos estudos de Freud e, em seguida, da abordagem multirrefrencial por permitir um olhar plural e mais humano sobre os processos educacionais. Foram apresentados estudos sobre os conceitos atribuídos às políticas de planejamento curricular: o planejamento e o plano de ensino - práticas construídas no cotidiano. Como resultados, mesmo que provisórios, apontamos para: o trabalho coletivo no espaço organizado e garantido pelos gestores da escola; a valorização da memória e autoria docente, para a reflexão de práticas, a visibilidade do trabalho e o resultado pedagógico. O trabalho ainda considera a importância da formação contínua, planejada em momentos remunerados e garantidos pela instituição, a importância da construção dos saberes, docentes e do coordenador pedagógico e a historicidade das práticas de registro dos planos como aspectos inerentes a um projeto pedagógico e que devem ser reconhecidos, valorizados e estimulados pelas políticas institucionais.(AU)

Dentre os inúmeros recursos que engendram esse desafio, destaca-se aqui a gaucherie, procedimento discutido pelo crítico Roland Barthes e que atua com um viés crítico e irônico, atribuindo ao objeto artístico um proposital aspecto de "rebaixamento", ou, como o prório nome sugere, um caráter de "desvio" por ser "canhoto", "torto", e, por extensão, aparentemente "desajustado", "mal feito". Nesse sentido, esta tese discute especificamente o funcionamento da gaucherie na literatura, buscando evidenciar que essa sensação de "desvio" ou "rebaixamento" é atingida a partir de um trabalho com a linguagem calcado na exploração da fala coloquial, do discurso do senso comum, de imagens que assimilam as categorias contra-sublimes, como o grotesco, o kitsch, o mau gosto e as manifestações do riso (comicidade, paródia, carnavalização), dentre outros recursos. Para tanto, são analisados textos dos autores brasileiros Dalton Trevisan e Hilda Hilst, e dos portugueses José Cardoso Pires e Adília Lopes. Tais obras revelam tratar-se de um procedimento marcado pela extrema consciência na inserção desses aspectos, o que culmina em um movimento autorreferencial, pois a obra expõe à discussão o seus próprios mecanismos de construção. Com isso, são gerados curiosos efeitos de ironia, visto que o texto convida o leitor a lançar um olhar crítico e sintonizado com o modo peculiar como essas produções leem a própria arte, relativizando as noções pré-concebidas acerca do fazer literário / Abstract: Comtenporary Art presents itself as a stage for experimentations and intensification of strategies of aesthetic elaboration that promote the questioning of artistic manifestation and make it problematic. Among the innumerable resources that engender this challenge, here we emphasize gaucherie, a procedure that is discussed by the critic Roland Barthes and acts as a critical and ironic bias, attributing to the artistic object an intentional aspect of "lowering", or, as the name itself suggests, a character of "deviation" because it is "left-handed", "crooked", and, by extension, apparently "maladjusted", "rough". Accordingly, this thesis specifically discusses how gaucherie works in literature, trying to make evident that this sensation of "deviation" or "lowering" is achieved as a result of a work with language based on the exploration of colloquial speech, the common sense discourse, images that assimilate the counter-sublime categories, such as the grotesque, kitsch, bad taste and the manifestations of laughter (comicality, parody, carnivalization), among other resources. In order to do so, texts written by the Brazilian authors Dalton Trevisan and Hilda Hilst and by the Portuguese authors José Cardoso Pires and Adília Lopes are analyzed. Such literary works reveal it is a process marked by the extreme awareness in the insertion of these aspects, which culminates in a self-referential movement, for the literary work introduces to discussion its own construction mechanisms. Thus, curious effects of irony are created, given that the text invites the reader to cast a critical eye to it, a critical look that is in tune with the peculiar way in which these productions read their own art, making relative the preconceived notions about literary manifestation / Doutor

À l’heure actuelle, les occasions de « rencontrer » des hommes du passé (ou du moins leurs représentants) se multiplient : l’exposition d’archéologie ne présente plus seulement des objets, mais fait découvrir au visiteur le mode de vie des anciens habitants d’un lieu ; les reconstitutions historiques font « revivre » des hommes du passé et mettent en scène courses de chars, artisanat et autres gestes « ancestraux » devant les yeux du public ; et enfin, les guides de monuments historiques prennent les traits de personnages-types, favorisant l’immersion et l’attachement au lieu. De la même manière, les émissions de télévision sur l’archéologie semblent de plus en plus effacer le scientifique et les vestiges du dispositif ; proposant ainsi une relation plus directe au passé et à l’homme du passé (c’est le cas par exemple de docufictions comme Homo Sapiens de Jacques Malaterre). Cette recherche questionne ainsi la relation au passé, proposée par les émissions de télévision sur l’archéologie. Comment ces films peuvent-ils créer une relation à la fois scientifique et symbolique au passé et à « l’autre » ? Quels sont les effets de cette nouvelle forme de médiation qui feint de s’effacer ? À l’inverse, quels sont les effets de l’affirmation du dispositif de médiation (dans les documentaires et les reportages) ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous avons adopté une démarche « feuilletée », en « entonnoir ». Un corpus de référence réunit d’abord toutes les émissions sur l’archéologie, diffusées entre 1995 et 2008, sur la télévision hertzienne française. Son analyse statistique permet de dégager des tendances générales quant à la représentation de l’archéologie à la télévision. Ensuite, l’analyse sémiopragmatique d’un corpus test de 13 émissions sur Pompéi, mène à la constitution d’un modèle d’analyse de la médiation du passé et d’un outil permettant la systématisation du recueil de données sur un grand nombre d’émissions. Enfin, un troisième corpus de 51 émissions permet la vérification de ce modèle et aboutit à l’identification de quatre types de construction de la relation au passé. L’apport de l’étude est triple : 1) elle génère des connaissances sur l’objet de recherche lui-même, c’est-à-dire sur les représentations les plus courantes de l’archéologie à la télévision ; 2) elle propose une méthodologie et un modèle d’analyse de la médiation fondés sur des outils issus de la sémiopragmatique ; 3) enfin, d’un point de vue théorique, la recherche permet d’envisager la médiation, non comme un lien sociétal ou un « entre-deux », mais comme une stratégie de modulation de la distance, possible notamment grâce à l’intervention de « figures » de médiation. Ces figures sont des éléments référentiels qui cristallisent des représentations sociales et qui ont des rôles à jouer dans l’énonciation et la narrativité de l’émission / At present time, the occasions of “meetings” with men from the past (or at least with their representatives) multiply: the archaeology exposure does not only present the objects anymore, but makes discover the visitor, the lifestyle of the former inhabitants of a place; the historical reconstitutions make “relife” the men from the past and put in stage horse races and ancestral gestures in front of the public eyes; and finally, guides of historical places take the appearance of characters, supporting the immersion and the attachment to the place. In the same way, the TV shows about archaeology seem to erase the scientist and the vestiges of the device, offering a more direct relation to the past and to the man from the past (for example the docudrama Homo Sapiens, by Jacques Malaterre). This research questions the relation to the past, built by the television programs about archaeology. How these devices can create at the same time, a scientific and a symbolic relation to the past? Which are the effects of this new form of mediation which pretends to be erased? On the contrary, which are the effects of the affirmation of the mediation device (in the documentaries and reports)? To answer these questions, we adopted a “laminated” method, in “funnel”. A corpus of reference joins all the programs about archaeology, diffused between 1995 and 2008, on french hertzian television. Its statistical analysis makes it possible to draw the general tendencies of the representation of archaeology on television. Then, the semiopragmatic analysis of a test corpus of 13 emissions about Pompeii, leads to the constitution of an analysis model of the mediation to the past and to the constitution of a tool, allowing the analysis of a great number of films. Lastly, a third corpus of 51 emissions allows the checking of this model and leads to the identification of four types of construction of relation to the past. The contribution of the study is triple: 1) it brings knowledge about the object of research itself, about the most common representations of archaeology on television; 2) it proposes a methodology and an analysis model of the mediation based on tools coming from the semiopragmatic; 3) finally, from a theoretical point of view, this research makes it possible to consider the mediation, not as a “social bond” or a “interval”, but as a strategy of modulation of distance, thanks to the intervention of “mediation figures”. These figures are referential elements which crystallize the social representations and which have roles to play in the enunciation and the narrativity of the program

Consacré à deux recueils et à un roman parus en 2011, Arvida de Samuel Archibald, Atavismes de Raymond Bock et Il pleuvait des oiseaux de Jocelyne Saucier, le présent mémoire interroge la représentation de territoires régionaux dans la littérature québécoise contemporaine. Il propose que le territoire exploré par ces fictions soit en fin de compte plus imaginaire que réel, d’où l’adoption du concept de « régionalité » emprunté à Francis Langevin. Le premier chapitre présente l’histoire des régionalismes littéraires français et québécois et s’attache à la façon dont le corpus étudié s’en distingue et s’en inspire, entre autres par des allusions intertextuelles. Il procède ensuite à l’analyse des univers intertextuels des fictions associées à la notion de bibliothèque imaginaire. Le second chapitre explore les questions d’héritage, de mémoire et de filiation par l’entremise d’analyses textuelles, lesquelles relèvent des difficultés de transmission et d’appropriation du souvenir. Enfin, le troisième chapitre porte sur les rapports complexes qu’entretient le corpus avec le réalisme littéraire, en mettant en scène des univers à la fois familiers et étranges sur le plan référentiel. En découle une forme de distanciation qui s’accompagne du motif de l’éloignement, tout en empruntant des éléments à l’inquiétante étrangeté freudienne. / Drawing from two collections and one novel published in 2011, Arvida by Samuel Archibald, Atavismes by Raymond Bock, and Il pleuvait des oiseaux by Jocelyne Saucier, this thesis explores the representation of regional territories in contemporary Quebec literature. It proposes that the territories described by these works of fiction are more imagination than reality, as Francis Langevin’s concept of “régionalité” suggests. The first chapter addresses the history of French and Quebecois regionalism, emphasizing how the examined corpus distinguishes itself and draws inspiration, in large part by way of intertextual allusions. This leads to an investigation of the intertextual universes of fictional works associated with the notion of the imaginary library. The second chapter explores questions of heritage, memory and filiation by way of textual analysis, revealing the challenges associated with the transmission and appropriation of memory. Lastly, the third chapter explores the complex relationship between the corpus and literary realism, situating universes both familiar and foreign on the referential plane. Thus results a form of detachment which takes shape as a thematic pattern of remoteness, borrowing Freudian elements of disquieting strangeness.

L'objecte d'aquesta tesi ha estat el de defensar, a partir de l'exemple de l'obra de Francis Ponge, la plausibilitat referencial del llenguatge poètic, supòsit tot sovint rebatut a causa d'una radicalització del tòpic de l'autoreferencialitat poètica i per un planteig en suma restringit del concepte de la referencialitat. Però que un poema es constitueixi en tant que específica configuració significant no hauria d'implicar un menyscabament de la seva capacitat de representació, perquè si la poesia és creació mitjançant el llenguatge, tot allò que jutgem poètic no dimanaria sinó de la mateixa idiosincràsia de l'expressió verbal. Així doncs, hem argumentat, en primer lloc, l'efectivitat referencial del llenguatge ordinari per tal d'il·lustrar tot seguit la del poètic i, en particular, la que explicitaria el verb de Francis Ponge, atès que la poètica d'aquest autor es caracteritza, precisament, pel fet d'obstinar-se en una convençuda referencialitat: la que l'impel·lí a dirigir-se envers les coses; la que el dugué a submergir-se en les paraules. El objeto de esta tesis ha sido el de defender, a partir del ejemplo de la obra de Francis Ponge, la plausibilidad referencial del lenguaje poético, supuesto a menudo rebatido a causa de una radicalización del tópico de la autorreferencialidad poética y por un planteamiento en suma restringido del concepto de la referencialidad. Pero que un poema se constituya en tanto que particular configuración significante en modo alguno implicaría un menoscabo de su capacidad de representación, porque si la poesía es creación mediante el lenguaje, todo lo que juzgamos poético no dimanaría sino de la propia idiosincrasia de la expresión verbal. Así pues, hemos argumentado, en primer lugar, la efectividad referencial del lenguaje ordinario para ilustrar a continuación la del poético y, en particular, la que explicitaría el verbo de Francis Ponge, pues la poética de este autor se caracteriza, precisamente, por obstinarse en una convencida referencialidad: la que lo impulsó a dirigirse hacia las cosas; la que lo condujo a sumergirse en las palabras. / Starting from Francis Ponge's work, this PhD thesis argues for the referential plausibility of the poetic language. This assumption has often been contested partly because of the cliché of poetic self-referentiality and partly because the concept of referentiality has had an extremely restricted approach. This thesis suggests that, on the contrary, a poem's capability of becoming a particular and significant configuration does by no means imply a lessening of its representative force. Indeed: if poetry is creation by means of language, everything we judge as poetic stems solely from the idiosyncrasy of verbal expression. Thus, the thesis argues for the referential efficiency of ordinary language to then illustrate the referential efficiency of the poetic. It focuses in particular on the verbum as put forth by Francis Ponge. This author's poetics is best characterized by its persistence in a convinced referentiality, which leads Ponge to address things, and which takes him to sound the depths of words.

The study interrogates the context reflectivity of postcolonial Shona popular music in Zimbabwe. It also explores the extent to which the legal environment in which the same music is produced, disseminated and consumed affects expressivity and artistic precision. The study is inspired by the New Historicism theory which assumes that every work of art is a product of the historical moment that created it and can be identified with the cultural and political movements of the time. The same is believed of popular music. The study is also beholden to the Marxist literary tradition for its assessment of the discourse of politics and socio-economic issues in popular music. For all the analysis, an Afrocentric eye view informs the thesis. Being qualitative in perspective, the research mainly uses the hermeneutic research design as an operational framework for the interpretation of lyrical data. Hermeneutics, as a method of textual analysis, emphasizes the socio-cultural and historic influences on qualitative interpretation. Postcolonial Shona popular music is purposively sampled and critically studied using the hermeneutic method to tease out latent social and political nuances in lyrical data. Interviews are roped in as alternative opinions to validate hermeneutic data. The research observes that the legislative environment in which Zimbabwean popular music is composed is, on paper, very conducive for the art but in practice severely restrictive. The constitution allows the artiste sufficient space to sing any subject but confessions by some critics alert on the incidences of some censored products. Even against that backdrop artistes have gone on to compose politically suggestive music. However, from the first decade of independence, the tendency for the artiste has been to flow with the meta-narrative or hegemonic discourses of the state, while in the later decades the artiste sounds critical of the nationalist government. Realising the power of music to articulate serious national issues; among other prescriptions, the study recommends that government creates a flexible and democratic legislation that allows for unbounded creativity and consumption of artistic products. / African Languages / D.

L’objectif de la présente recherche est double: il s’agit dans un premier temps de proposer une autre lecture de Mein Jahrhundert de Günter Grass à partir des manuscrits en adoptant une perspective génétique au plus près du texte. À partir d’un corpus d’étude restreint, mais représentatif, recelant des documents sources explicites et montrant les différentes phases rédactionnelles nous avons mis en évidence un certain nombre de procédés caractéristiques de l’écriture grassienne et de phénomènes tant endogénétiques qu’exogénétiques révélant le recours à une intertextualité protéiforme déclarée ou dissimulée. Cette entreprise descriptive et interprétative s’est ensuite doublée d’une démarche herméneutique destinée à vérifier si l’ouvrage satisfait aux ambitions didactiques affichées par l’auteur en matière de transmission de l’Histoire, une transmission à finalité civique visant à prévenir ses bégaiements. En optant pour la polyphonie et le récit par le bas Grass entend également combler les lacunes du discours historiographique officiel. À l’issue d’un travail de recherche des sources avérées ou hypothétiques, nous avons mis en évidence que Grass a essentiellement recours à des sources journalistiques lui permettant d’ancrer le récit dans la réalité historique et d’inscrire son livre dans une veine populaire. La présence d’une matière documentaire implicite souvent dense requiert toutefois un savoir extratextuel de la part du lecteur, ce qui va à l’encontre d’une écriture populaire de l’Histoire, même si plusieurs degrés de lecture sont possibles. Le recours à la polyphonie prétendument garant d’une narration pluriperspective est un leurre en raison du marquage axiologique négatif de certains narrateurs laissant transparaître la position idéologique de l’auteur. Le choix des narrateurs, qu’ils soient empruntés à la réalité historique ou fictifs, comme celui des événements s’inscrit dans un système de valeurs univoque faisant constamment référence au discours épitextuel de l’auteur qui peut faire figure d’intertexte. L’écriture de l’Histoire s’appuie ainsi sur une rhétorique de la répétition polymorphe et transversale qu’elle soit autotextuelle, thématique, picturale ou concerne les procédés narratifs, ce qui accrédite la thèse d’un haut degré d’autoréférentialité de l’ouvrage et d’une perception autocentrique du siècle. / Our research has a dual aim: first to offer a new reading of Mein Jahrhundert by Günter Grass from the manuscripts and from a genetic perspective while remaining as close as possible to the text. Using a restricted but representative corpus of studies with explicit source documents and pointing to various phases of writing, we have highlighted a certain number of procedures which are characteristic of the way Grass wrote, as well as phenomena of both an endogenous and exogenous nature which show his recourse to declared or hidden proteiform intertextuality. This descriptive and interpretative undertaking was then doubled with a hermeneutic approach aimed at establishing whether the work fulfils the didactic ambitions the author asserts regarding the conveying of History with a civic agenda aimed at overcoming the author’s stuttering. By opting for polyphony and a narrative from below, Grass also intends to fill gaps in the discourse of official historiography. After researching proved or hypothetical sources, we were able to demonstrate that Grass essentially uses journalistic sources which allow him to anchor his narrative in historic reality while writing his book in a popular vein. The presence of often dense implicit documentary material nevertheless makes far‐reaching extra‐textual knowledge on the part of the reader necessary, even if various layers of reading are possible.Recourse to the polyphony which is put forward as a guarantee for a narration from differing perspectives is misleading because of the negative value judgements of certain narrators revelatory of the author’s ideological position. The choice of narrators, whether borrowed from historic reality or fictional, just as the choice of the events is part of an unequivocal value hierarchy which constantly refers to the author’s epitextual discourse, which may be read a an inter‐text. The writing of History thus is based upon a rhetoric which consists of polymorphous and transversal repetition, ranging between autotextual, thematic, and pictorial and absorbed by narrative procedures. This corroborates the hypothesis that the work is highly self‐referential and based upon a self‐centred perception of the century.
