Ce travail a pour pour but d’étudier les œuvres de Raymond Roussel (1877-1933) et de James Joyce (1882-1941). Il consiste à mettre ces auteurs en regard l’un de l’autre, en vue de l’éclairage réciproque de leurs textes, souvent qualifiés d’illisibles. Une pareille étude n’a pas encore été menée à ce jour, bien que le rapprochement de ces écrivains semble d’ores et déjà aller de soi : on range conjointement Joyce et Roussel auprès de Stéphane Mallarmé, quand on n’apparente pas leur usage du langage à celui du schizophrène Louis Wolfson. Il s’agit d’établir quelles sont les stratégies d’écriture propres à Joyce et à Roussel, de confronter l’opacité joycienne, combien problématique, à la difficile transparence – l’apparente clarté – dont témoigne l’œuvre de Roussel. L’étude comparative de Joyce et Roussel ne saurait faire l’économie d’une réflexion sur la place occupée par le commentaire au sein de l’œuvre. Cette opération revient à questionner l’autorité critique de Joyce et de Roussel. Ces auteurs produisent des textes autonomes, lesquels parlent essentiellement d’eux-mêmes. Tout en étant gros de leur projet, ils constituent leur propre objet. L’analogie avec la machine s’impose irrésistiblement. Ces manières de machines célibataires (Michel Carrouges) sont également des œuvres ouvertes (Umberto Eco). L’imaginaire des machines relie Joyce et Roussel tout en les intégrant à un espace plus vaste comprenant aussi bien Jules Verne que Marcel Duchamp. Les machines permettent d’envisager l’écriture de Joyce et de Roussel en termes de surface et de profondeur, mais elles mettent également en lumière les paradoxes du manifeste et du caché. / This thesis aims to examine the writings of Raymond Roussel (1877-1933) and of James Joyce (1882-1941). Both writers are to be put into comparison so as to shed a reciprocal light upon one another’s works, which are often deemed illegible. Such a study has not yet been carried, although connecting the two writers seems already self-evident : Joyce and Roussel are simultaneously ranked beside Stéphane Mallarmé, when their use of language is not linked with that of schizophrenic Louis Wolfson. What is at stake is to define Joyce and Roussel’s writing strategies, to bring face to face Joyce’s opacity - with all the issues it entails - and the problematic transparency - the seeming clarity - displayed by Roussel’s work. The comparative study of Joyce and Roussel could not dispense with a pondering over the weight of commentary deriving from both canons. This amounts to questionning Joyce’s and Roussel’s authority in the field of criticism.These authors generate autonomous texts which essentially deal with themselves. While fortified by their project, they are fed on their own object. An analogy to the machine seems necessary and compelling. These bachelor machines (Michel Carrouges) are also open works (Umberto Eco). The machine imagination binds Joyce and Roussel while incorporating them into a wider space that comprises Jules Verne as well as Marcel Duchamp. Machines thus make it possible to consider Joyce and Roussel’s writings in terms of surface and depth, but they also highlight the paradoxes of the manifest and of the hidden.

[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo inicial aproximar o conteúdo bibliográfico da disciplina proxemia às aulas do curso de design de produtos da PUC-Rio, relacionando os principais autores que trataram do tema até o momento. Através dessa pesquisa, associar e resgatar a utilização de um procedimento de escrita literária do autor Raymond Roussel à disciplina. Por meio das similitudes dos temas, foi realizado um exercício empírico com embasamento teórico no ganho de conhecimento através do campo prático durante as aulas para os alunos. O objetivo final é a análise da recuperação de pequenos relatos de objetos cotidianos na vivência dos alunos em sua cidade através do ensino da disciplina proxemia. / [en] This work has as its first goal to develop an approach to the bibliographic content of proxemics subject to the classes of product design at PUC-Rio, relating the main authors that dealed with the issue until nowadays. Through this research, seek to associate and rescue Raymond Roussel s writings procedures to the subject. Exploiting the similarities of the topics, an empirical exercise was conducted with theoretical support to achieve a deeper knowledge through the practical field during classes for students. The final goal is the analysis of the recovery of small reports of daily objects in student s everyday experience in their city through proxemics discipline.

Gérard Roussel was a prominent French ecclesiastical leader in the sixteenth century and yet is little known. The Catholic, Protestant and Enlightenment historical narratives have all ignored him. A member of the renewal-minded Circle of Meaux from 1521 to 1525, he collaborated with the famous humanist, Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples, to produce an evangelical preaching manual. This study examines its emphases. When this Circle was crushed, Roussel fled to Strasbourg and admired the Reformation taking place there. Marguerite de Navarre recalled him to France and became his patron in various ways. He translated into French a children’s catechism originally published by the German reformer Johann Brenz. The translation puzzles readers today, because it is too complicated for children. This study suggests it was targeted at the royal children to influence their future rule. Roussel became the Lenten preacher in Paris in 1533, experiencing great success. John Calvin was one of his admirers. While traditionalists reacted with tumult, the crowds flocking to hear Roussel suggest that the French evangelicals were more significant in the first third of the century than is commonly understood. They offered a “third option” in France, in addition to the traditionalists and the rising Protestants. Consistently, these evangelicals sought reform of the French church and society through gospel preaching and irenic living. They strongly rejected church schism. Roussel accepted the Bishopric of Oloron in 1536, where he diligently taught, preached and modeled his irenic evangelical emphases. Calvin viciously turned on him as one practising dissimulation. Roussel prepared both a guide for episcopal visitation of a diocese and an extensive catechism for theological students that had the same goal as the preaching manual produced in Meaux. Traditionalist opposition ensured they would not be published, but we have a manuscript available. This study examines them, finding that Roussel was intent on building bridges between all reformers, both Protestant and Catholic. He avoids, as a key example, embracing any of the hotly contested positions on the Lord’s Supper that surrounded him. He instead constructed a simplified biblical Mass, consistent with much traditional piety, but clearly emphasizing gospel preaching as well. Killed in an attack by a Catholic traditionalist in 1555, his life points to the French evangelical embrace of both gospel preaching and irenic living. Recent scholarship has discovered that such irenic impulses had a greater impact on Christian society in this era than has often been recognized. This study deepens that awareness. / Graduate / 0330 / 0335 / 0320 / aschoeber@shaw.ca
