All Things Commune: The Communal Imaginary in Twenty-First-Century French Fiction & Poetry

Pettman, Andre Luke January 2024 (has links)
This dissertation, All Things Commune: The Communal Imaginary in Twenty-First-Century French Fiction & Poetry, is animated by two fundamental questions: How can life be led differently, together? And, what is French literature’s radical political potential? Over the course of this project, I argue that twenty-first-century French literature is a site of radical political imagination, and, in certain cases, a veritable form of radical political practice. Through close readings of works by a diverse set of authors – including Jean Rouaud, Yannick Haenel, Virginie Despentes, and Jean-Marie Gleize – I reveal a countercurrent of twenty-first-century French literature bound up in a radical politics that is invested in imagining alternative forms of community that are autonomous from the French state, capitalism, governance, and traditional political structures. I read these literary works in light of theories of community developed by collectives such as Tiqqun and Le Comité invisible and critical theorists like Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Rancière. All Things Commune demonstrates how reading these authors and theorists together reveals a shared imaginary of alternative communal life and radical Leftist politics, which I place under the rubric of destituent power. All Things Commune insists on the profound continuities between contemporary French literature, history, and politics. Overall, this project questions the narrow political frameworks through which twenty-first-century French literature continues to be read and demonstrates how radical politics appear in unexpected ways in a period of literature sometimes reduced to the reactionary or the apolitical.

"Poéthiques" de l'événement dans les oeuvres de Claude Simon, Jean Rouaud, Jean Follain, Jacques Réda, François Jacqmin et Eugène Savitzkaya

Parent, Sabrina 08 November 2006 (has links)
Dans le cadre des études littéraires, la notion d’événement a le plus souvent été abordée sous l’angle narratif. Cette étude ne rejette pas cette perspective, mais elle considère que l’on ne peut s’y limiter. L’événement est ainsi appréhendé dans le champ élargi des sciences humaines (historiographie, philosophie analytique, phénoménologie, etc.) afin de mieux saisir sa spécificité dans le texte littéraire. Les questions relatives à l’événement –qu’il soit historique, naturel ou quotidien– sont abordées dans les textes narratifs et poétiques :qu’est-ce qu’un événement pour l’écrivain –romancier (Simon, Rouaud, Savitzkaya) ou poète (Follain, Réda, Jacqmin) ?Quels sont les procédés linguistiques auxquels il recourt pour l’écrire ?Quelles sont les visées éthiques de l’écriture ?Le but ultime de notre investigation consiste en effet à proposer une « poéthique » (Pinson) pour chacun de nos auteurs, c’est-à-dire une interprétation relative à la portée éthique de leurs textes. / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation langue et littérature / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
