Salomé danse-t-elle ? Enquête sur les représentations littéraires et chorégraphiques d'un mythe féminin aux XIXe et XXe siècles / Does Salome dance? Investigating literary and choreographic representations of a feminine myth in the 19th and the 20th century

Dariane, Cynthia 02 December 2013 (has links)
Depuis toujours, Salomé hante les esprits et se profile dans les créations artistiques. Elle évolue selon les siècles, changeant selon l’humeur des artistes, assouvissant leur désir créateur. Cependant, ce sont les artistes symbolistes et décadents qui vont donner à la danseuse biblique son véritable essor et l’imposer comme une véritable figure archétypale, avec la danse au cœur de cette recréation. L’art de Terpsichore s’empare également de Salomé et les techniques scéniques et chorégraphiques permettent l’affirmation de nouvelles idées sociales, de courants de danse novateurs ainsi que le développement de nouveaux savoir-faire artistiques à travers la figure de la fille d’Hérodiade. Notre travail va porter non pas sur Salomé dans l’absolu, mais sur sa danse en tant que telle, et plus particulièrement sur la façon dont elle est retranscrite dans les textes et sur scène. Il s’agira donc de se demander, à travers la figure de la danseuse, quelles sont les connivences entre les deux langages, celui du corps, des gestes, et celui des mots. En quoi Salomé arrive-t-elle à conjuguer influence artistique et révolution socioculturelle ? / Salomé has always been haunting our minds and sneaking into artistic creations. She evolves through the centuries, changing with artists' state of mind and meeting their creative desire. However, symbolist and decadent artists are those who gave the biblical dancer her real take-off, imposed her as a true archetypal figure, with dance at the heart of the recreation. Terpsichore's art also takes hold of Salome and stage and chorography techniques enable the assertion of new social ideas, innovative dance trends and the development of new artistic know-hows through the myth of Herodias. This work tackles not Salome in absolute, but rather her dance, and more specifically the way it is expressed in writings and on stage. We shall see, through the figure of the dancer, what complicity bond the two languages, that of the body and the moves, and that of the words. How does Salome mix artistic influence and social and cultural revolution?

Negotiating Identity in the Transnational Imaginary of Julia Alvarez's and Edwidge Danticat's Literature

Kerby, Erik R. 13 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
The increased contact between nations and cultures in the globalization of the twenty-first century requires an increased accountability for the ways in which individuals and countries negotiate these points of contact. New World and Caribbean Studies envision the cross-cultural and transnational encounters between indigenous, European, and African peoples as important contributors to a paradigm within which identity in relation offers an alternative to identities rooted in national and filial frameworks. Such frameworks limit the ability to construct identity without relying upon static representations of history, culture, and ethnicity that tend to privilege one group over another. In the literature of Edwidge Danticat and Julia Alvarez, however, a fictional space is created that rewrites national histories and problematizes rooted identities through their novels' characterization. This fictional space is a transnational paradigm that—in the vocabulary of the critical theories of Édouard Glissant, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, and David A. Hollinger—explores the effects of cultures founded on ideas of relation and affiliation rather than on rooted socio-cultural legitimacy and ethno-political authority. Danticat and Alvarez's characters engage in a process of present living that allows them to negotiate their experience of diaspora and maintain a stable construction of identity in relation.

Mýtus o Narcisovi ve francouzské literatuře přelomu 19. a 20. století / Myth of Narcissus in French literature at the turn of the 20th Century

Kučerová, Magdalena January 2014 (has links)
Mgr. Magdalena Kučerová Dissertation work: Myth of Narcissus in French literature at the turn of the 20th century ABSTRACT: This dissertation thesis based on knowledge of French myth criticism deals with the issue of myths in literature, which is a specific manifestation of human symbolic imagination. In its most general level the work studies the definition of a myth and its social function as well as the matter of opposite notions regarding to the mythos and logos, which have gradually more and more differentiated along with the development of European thinking. The myth of Narcissus has probably been one of the oldest myths in European culture. In its most renowned and most comprehensive form, the myth first appeared in the third book of Metamorphoses by Ovid, which has served as an inspiration for remakes by many later authors. The story of a young man who fell in love with his own reflection on the surface of the water contains a great variety of semantically strong structures (mainly the motifs of a mirror, narcissistic love, passively superior character of a hero, or the final metamorphoses into a flower), which are analysed in this study. The author of this study outlines the interpretational evolution of the myth of Narcissus in French literary history...

L'Anti-Salomé, représentations de la féminité bienveillante au temps de la Décadence (1850-1920) / The Anti-Salome, representations of benevolent femininity in the Time of Decadence

Daouda, Marie Kawtar 12 December 2015 (has links)
À la charnière entre deux siècles, Salomé fait office de lieu commun inévitable de la littérature et des arts. Cependant, aux côtés de la femme fatale, s'affirme la présence discrète mais tout aussi inévitable de la féminité fragile et bienveillante, formée sur le modèle de la princesse de conte et de l'héroïne de roman gothique, mais surtout sur celui de la vierge et martyre du roman édifiant, qu'il soit antiquisant ou contemporain. Parfois discrète jusqu'à l'illisibilité, cet archétype n'est légitimé dans sa fonction bienveillante que par un sacrifice. La signification religieuse du bouc émissaire reste à la fois lisible et efficace dans les structures narratives du roman, mais aussi dans le détail de l'écriture de ces personnages. Les figures mariales, magdaléennes ou féeriques sont soumises à la même épreuve de destruction, par laquelle l'édification qu'elles symbolisent se fait littéralement construction de sens, juxtaposition d'éléments esthétiques disparates mais efficaces par lesquels un personnage en vient à représenter allégoriquement la création artistique elle-même. En reliant le milieu du XIXe siècle aux années 1920 et en mettant les plus connus des héritiers de Baudelaire en perspective avec ceux dont le nom commence à peine à revenir à la postérité, l'enjeu de la recherche est d'établir dans quelle mesure ces représentations de la féminité bienveillante relèvent d'une permanence, d'un monument – au sens de monumentum – où la fin de siècle va non seulement contempler la mort d'une époque révolue, mais concentrer tout ce qui sert, à l'aube du XXe siècle, à théoriser l'art idéaliste. / At the crossroads between two centuries, Salome plays the part of a mandatory commonplace in art and literature. Nevertheless, next to the femme fatale and just as unavoidable, stands a fragile and benevolent form of feminity, molded in the cast of the fairytale princess and theGothic novel heroine, but inspired above all by the Virgin and Martyr of the edifying novel, be it antique or contemporary. As it might be discrete enough to become unreadable, this archetype's benevolence cannot be legitimated without a sacrifice. The religious meaning of the scapegoat remains just as obvious and as efficient in the novels' narrative structure, as well as in the detailsthrough which such characters are built. Marial, magdalenian and farylike characters must undergo the same destruction trial, through which their edifying meaning becomes a litteral building-up up meaning, by juxtaposing dissimilar and yet efficien aesthetic elements which turn the character into an allegory of artistic creation. By linking mid-19th century and the 1920es and by weaving a link between the most famous of Baudelaire's heirs and the ones whose name is just merging out of oblivion, the purpose of this study is to analyse how much these representations of benevolent femininity must be seen as a permanence, as a monument – or as a monumentum – where late-19th century will not only gaze a the death of a declining era, but concentrate all what will be used to theorize idealist artistic movements on the edge of the 20th century.
