Orientador: Alcides Cardoso dos Santos / Banca: Iná Camargo Costa / Banca: Maria Clara Bonetti Paro / Resumo: A obra de arte dramática, diferentemente de outras formas artístico-literárias, é a que de forma mais prática e imediata estabelece uma relação entre seu realizador e o público ao qual ela é destinada. Contudo, o drama moderno, produzido a partir do final do século XIX, passou por uma série de crises e adaptações quanto à forma e ao conteúdo, decorrentes de várias mudanças ocorridas nos mais diversos setores da sociedade. Edward Albee é um dos maiores dramaturgos norte-americanos da segunda metade do séc. XX. Seguindo uma tradição que produziria grandes talentos como Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams e Arthur Miller, o novo autor surge em 1958 com seu texto, The Zoo Story, associado ao Teatro do Absurdo. A peça de forma minimalista põe em cena dois bancos de praça e duas personagens: Peter que é a própria personificação do self made man, já que está enjaulado aos ideais e aos valores burgueses de vida, e Jerry o outsider ou o transeunte permanente que não se insere nos padrões, no código moral e de valores socialmente estabelecidos. Entretanto, ou por isso mesmo, possui uma capacidade reflexiva extremamente aguçada. O objetivo é tratar de um aspecto da peça - a questão da absurvidade e da liberdade, como formas de transcender a angústia existencial e a vida sem significado em um contexto destituído de símbolos metafísicos. Analisar-se-ão os elementos relacionados a estes tópicos bem como o modo que servem de instrumento para o esvaziamento da ideologia burguesa, que culmina na crítica ácida que Edward Albee desfere ao American way of life. / Abstract: Dramatic art, differently from other literacy-artistic forms, is the one that most practically and immediately establishes a relationship between its producer and the audience it is created for. However, modern drama, produced since the end of nineteenth century, has gone through many crises and adaptations in its form and content, originated from many changes occured in the various instances of society. Edward Albee is one of the major American playwrights of the second half of the twentieth century. Following a tradition which produced gifted authors such as Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, the new author appears with his play The Zoo Story in 1958, associated to the Theater of the Absurd. The play, in a minimalist way, stages two park benches and two characters: Peter, the personification of the self made man, encaged in the bourgeois ideals and values of life; and Jerry, the outsider or the permanent transient who does not fill in the patterns, in the moral code or the established social values. However, or because of this, he has a sharpened reflexive ability. The aim of our search is to treat one aspect of the play - absurdity and freedom - a means of transceding existential anguish and life without meaning in a context deprived of metaphysical symbols. We intend to analyze elements related to these topics, as well as the way they function as instruments for the emptying bourgeois ideology which, ends up the sour criticism Albee aims at the American way of life. / Mestre

Cette thèse a pour objet de retracer l’histoire de la réception de l’œuvre d’Albert Camus en Chine et de mettre au jour l’influence qu’elle a pu exercer sur les écrivains chinois. Le processus de la réception de l’œuvre de Camus en Chine étant inséparable du processus de l’évolution politique et culturelle chinoise, il est examiné sous l’angle de la sociologie, de l’histoire politique, de la littérature comparée, et de la traductologie. L’étude met ainsi en lumière les circonstances historiques, sociales, culturelles, politiques des différentes périodes au cours desquelles l’œuvre de Camus a été reçue, traduite, publiée, et critiquée en Chine. / This thesis aims at retracing the history of the reception of the work of Albert Camus in China and exposing the influence it has on Chinese writers. The process of the reception of Camus' work in China is inseparable from the process of Chinese political and cultural evolution and is examined from the angle of sociology, political history, comparative literature, and Translatology. The study highlights the historical, social, cultural and political circumstances of the different periods during which Camus's work has been received, translated, published and criticized in China.

Au début des Carnets, exprimant ce qui le pousse à créer, Albert Camus mentionne « la nostalgie d’une pauvreté perdue ». Une nostalgie ambiguë, qui ne signifie pas un simple regret du temps perdu, mais qui se relève du « sentiment bizarre » que le fils porte à sa mère silencieuse. Elle consiste en réalité dans l’aspiration douloureuse à la tendresse, qui est liée intrinsèquement à la misère de l’existence que l’auteur a vécue dans son enfance. Dans le but de raconter son passé, il élabore sa nostalgie comme essence de sa sensibilité. Signe de complexité, une telle captivité comporte de plus le regret et la mauvaise conscience à l’égard du milieu pauvre qu’il a quitté. Quoique paraissant ambiguë, le nom de nostalgie est juste, s’agissant de la quête de l’identité au fond : dans la sensibilité déchirée s’inscrit la recherche inassouvissable d’une véritable origine de l’être. D’où le fait que, dans le contexte existentiel, la notion del’absurde s’établit sur la sensibilité nostalgique : l’homme se trouve déchiré entre sa condition limitée et son aspiration à une vie de plénitude. Il choisit de tenir sa nostalgie déchirante comme le fond de son être, son axe de vie et sa raison de vivre. Pour l’homme absurde, la création littéraire n’est pas une option, mais la volonté de lucidité et de liberté, en vue de « donner aux couleurs le pouvoir d’exprimer le vide ». L’oeuvre figure la dialectique de la présence et de l’absence, ce qu’expriment par moyens divers les romans camusiens. Enfin, le dernier Camus exprime la nostalgie de la patrie en tant que quête consciente de sonorigine, du « soleil enfoui », qui l’attire et le dirige, qu’il connaît depuis toujours. / In the beginning of Carnets, Albert Camus mentions “the nostalgia for a lost poverty” as he expresses what drives him to create. Ambiguous nostalgia, which does not mean a simple regret of lost time, concerns the “strange feeling” that the son carries toward his silent mother. In reality, it consists in the painful aspiration for tenderness, which is intrinsically bound up with the misery that the author has experienced in his childhood. In order to tell his past, he elaborates his nostalgia as the essence of his sensitivity. And as a signof its complexity, such captivity includes a regret and a sense of guilt towards the poor environment which he left behind. Despite its ambiguity, the name of nostalgia is just because it concerns the quest for identity: in the torn sensitivity, there is an insatiable quest for a true source of being. Therefore, in the existential context, the concept of the absurd is established upon the nostalgic sensibility: human beings are torn between their limited condition and their desire for a full life. They choose to hold their torn nostalgia astheir existential foundation, their life axis and their raison d’être. For the absurd man, literary creation is not an option. It embodies the will of lucidity and liberty, in order to “give power of expressing vacuum to colors”. The dialectic of presence and absence is represented in the novels of Camus in various ways. In his later years, Camus expresses nostalgia for the homeland, consciously searching for his origin; the quest after his “buried sun”. He has always known this “buried sun” which had been attracting him as his guidance.

Les années cinquante ont vu l'apparition d'un «théâtre d'avant-garde» en France, sous la plume d'auteurs tels que Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet et Arthur Adamov. Au Québec, le même phénomène s'est produit, mais l'étiquette officielle de «théâtre de l'absurde québécois» n'a pas encore été prêtée à un corpus défini de pièces de théâtre. Cette étude, dans un premier temps, effectue un repérage des caractéristiques intrinsèques aux oeuvres du théâtre de l'absurde français, plus précisément celles des quatre auteurs mentionnes ci-dessus, a l'aide d'ouvrages théoriques reconnus (notamment The Theatre of the Absurd de Martin Esslin, Histoire du «nouveau théâtre» de Geneviève Serreau, Le Théâtre du nouveau langage de Gilbert Tarrab et Le théâtre de dérision d'Emmanuel Jacquart). Les chapitres subséquents sont consacrés a 1'analyse des oeuvres dramatiques québécoises Les Insolites de Jacques Languirand et La répétition de Dominic Champagne, afin de vérifier l'occurence des mêmes traits, particuliers au théâtre de dérision, et de montrer l'existence réelle de ce type de théâtre au Québec. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Le recueil intitulé Triangle noir sur triangle blanc développe un imaginaire du désir amoureux, de la féminité et de l’intériorité. Ses poèmes succincts et dépouillés laissent place à un témoignage mélancolique qui prend forme au-delà du dicible. Expérience trouble défend l’hypothèse selon laquelle, dans La Beauté pourrit sans douleur (1989), les poèmes de François Charron, que je qualifie d’ordinaires, font surgir un sentiment d’étrangeté chez le lecteur. Après des analyses discursive et formelle, une analyse des effets de lecture et diverses considérations philosophiques et théoriques (Bégout, Freud, Rancière), j’en conclus que cette poésie à la fois ordinaire et étrange témoigne d’une conscience de l’absurde (Camus) qu’elle transmet à son lecteur. / This poetry collection entitled Triangle noir sur triangle blanc [Black Triangle over White Triangle] builds an imaginary of love desire, femininity, and interiority. Its succinct and unadorned poems give way to a wistful testimonial that takes shape beyond the realm of words. Expérience trouble [Confused Experience] supports the hypothesis that in La Beauté pourrit sans douleur (1989), François Charron's poems, which I consider ordinary, bring out a sense of uncanniness in the reader. After discourse and formal analyses, an analysis of the effects of reading and various philosophical and theoretical considerations (Bégout, Freud, Rancière), I have come to the conclusion that this poetry both ordinary and uncanny testifies to an awareness of the absurd (Camus) that it conveys to the reader.

Магистерская диссертация посвящена исследованию поэтики трансгрессии в произведениях современной уральской литературы разных родо-жанровых форм. Материалом исследования стали произведения уральских авторов, являющихся знаковыми фигурами не только для региональной, но и общероссийской литературы: роман Алексея Сальникова «Отдел», пьесы Рината Ташимова и книги стихов Александра Вавилова. В работе исследуются способы репрезентации трансгрессивных феноменов в произведениях современной уральской литературы, выявляется роль и специфика форм трансгрессии в индивидуально-авторских концепциях миромоделирования, определяются сходства и различия приемов изображение трансгрессии в произведениях разных родо-жанровых форм. / The master's thesis is devoted to the study of the poetics of transgression in the works of modern Ural literature of various genre forms. The material of the study was the works of Ural authors who are iconic figures not only for regional, but also for all-Russian literature: Alexey Salnikov's novel «Department», Rinat Tashimov's plays and Alexander Vavilov's poetry books. The paper examines the ways of representing transgressive phenomena in the works of modern Ural literature, reveals the role and specificity of the forms of transgression in the individual author's concepts of world modeling, identifies similarities and differences in the methods of depicting transgression in the works of different genre forms.

L’objectif poursuivi dans ce mémoire de maîtrise est de proposer une réflexion sur la problématique trop souvent ignorée de la « nature » de la philosophie. Défendant une position historiciste et non essentialiste, la philosophie ne pouvant être comprise, définie et expliquée qu’à partir de ses formes historiques, j’ai décidé d’étudier la présence de la philosophie dans la vie et dans l’oeuvre d’Albert Camus, surtout reconnu pour être un homme de lettres. La pensée de Camus se positionnant contre la philosophie abstraite et théorique de ses contemporains, il sera question de l’examiner à la lumière des travaux de Pierre Hadot sur la philosophie antique. La comparaison avec les Anciens sera précieuse sur plus d’un plan. Elle prouvera que Camus réactualise l’idéal de la philosophie comme mode de vie, dont les thèses directrices seront explicitées dans les prolégomènes. J’espère ainsi faire voir la possibilité d’une conception « moderne » de la philosophie ancrée dans la pratique. Le présent travail se divisera en trois parties : la première visera à clarifier le sens des concepts et des différentes parties du Mythe de Sisyphe; la deuxième tâchera de rapprocher sa philosophie de l’absurde des thèses directrices de la philosophie comme mode de vie, offrant une interprétation novatrice de son Sisyphe; la troisième exposera succinctement sa philosophie de la révolte à partir d’une analyse de L’Homme révolté, de façon à démontrer que sa morale s’inscrit aussi dans le sillage de cet idéal philosophique. / The purpose of this master’s thesis is to propose a reflection on the all-too-often ignored issue of philosophy’s “nature”. Defending a historicist and non-essentialist position since philosophy cannot be understood, defined and explained without studying its historical forms, I decided to examine the presence of philosophy in the life and in the work of Albert Camus, who is essentially known as a man of letters. The thinking of Camus, which is positioned against the abstract and theoretical philosophy of his contemporaries, will be studied in light of the works of Pierre Hadot on ancient philosophy. The comparison with the classical Greeks will be precious in many ways. It will prove that Camus extends the ancient ideal of philosophy as a way of life, which guiding theses will be presented in the prolegomena. I therefore wish to bring forward the possibility of a “modern” conception of philosophy that is anchored in practicality. This research will be divided into three parts : the first will aim to clarify the meaning of the concepts and various parts of the Myth of Sisyphus; the second will seek to liken his philosophy of the absurd to the guiding theses of philosophy as a way of life, offering an innovative interpretation of his Sisyphus; the third will briefly present its philosophy of revolt from an analysis of The Rebel in order to demonstrate that its moral can also be likened to philosophy as a way of life.

Pour Albert Camus, la littérature était à la fois une activité essentielle à son bonheur et un objet de réflexion. Afin de saisir quelle conception de la littérature et quelle vision du rôle de l’écrivain se dégagent de son oeuvre, ce mémoire aborde dans un même mouvement ses deux principaux essais, Le Mythe de Sisyphe et L’Homme révolté, et une pièce de théâtre, Caligula. Notre premier chapitre consiste dans la recherche de ce qui, pour Camus, fait de la création artistique une activité privilégiée dans l’horizon de la pensée de l’absurde et de la révolte. Dans le deuxième chapitre, les différents commentaires émis par la critique à propos de Caligula seront examinés. La pièce, malgré l’opinion dominante, ne raconte pas l’histoire d’un empereur absurde qui se révolte contre son destin. L’importance du thème de la création littéraire dans cette pièce a également été grandement sous-estimée. Enfin, le troisième chapitre de ce mémoire présente notre propre analyse de la pièce. La confrontation de la fiction avec la théorie révèle une grande concordance entre les deux aspects de l’oeuvre de Camus. L’accord n’est cependant pas parfait, et l’étude des points de friction découverts permet d’apporter des éclaircissements sur un des points les plus obscurs des essais de Camus : l’éthique du créateur placé dans une situation où il doit choisir entre tuer et mourir. / For Albert Camus, literature was both an activity crucial to his happiness and a study object. In order to understand what conception of literature can be found in Camus’ writings and the responsibilities of the writer that this definition implies, this memoir studies his two main essays, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel, and one play, Caligula. Our first chapter consist in a research of what makes artistic creation an exceptional activity in the light of Camus’ thoughts on absurd on revolt. In our second chapter, the critics’ various commentaries about Caligula are examined. In spite of what is still the opinion of a majority of critics, the play is not the tale of an absurd emperor who would revolt against his destiny. Also, the theme of literary creation has not been sufficiently studied in that play, in which it plays a determinant role. Finally, the third chapter of this memoir presents our own analysis of the play. The confrontation of fiction and theory reveals a great similarity between the two aspects of Camus’ writings. However, the match is never perfect, and the study of the friction points allows us to shed light on one of the most obscure part of Camus’ essays: the ethic of the creator placed in a situation where he must kill or be killed.

En se penchant sur L’homme révolté d’Albert Camus, ce mémoire entend évaluer la pertinence de la révolte camusienne à l’aube du troisième millénaire. Du constat de l’absurde quant à la condition existentielle de l’homme, Camus a esquissé une révolte affranchie de toute idéologie en démontant, entre autres, les mécanismes propres à la philosophie de l’histoire et au nihilisme. À partir de la critique des pensées hégélienne, nietzschéenne et marxienne, il a tenté de définir les caractéristiques inhérentes à la révolte. Rédigé au milieu du XXe siècle, L’homme révolté est marqué par les séquelles d’une histoire chaotique déjà plus que cinquantenaire. Pour autant, son propos semble être encore d’actualité. Avec la complicité de philosophes contemporains tels que Cornélius Castoriadis, Pierre Rosanvallon et Bernard Stiegler, c’est autant la pertinence de la révolte camusienne qui est ici considérée qu’une corrélation entre cette révolte et la dignité humaine. L’homme révolté a-t-il encore sa place en ce début du troisième millénaire et dans l’affirmative : quelle est cette place? / By examining Albert Camus’ L’homme révolté (The Rebel), this dissertation intends to assess the relevance of Camusian revolt at the dawn of the third millennium. From an acknowledgement of the absurd as regards the existential condition of man, Camus outlined a revolt free of any ideology by demonstrating, for example, the mechanisms innate to the philosophy of history and nihilism. Starting with a critique of Hegelian, Nietzschean and Marxist thought, he attempted to define the characteristics inherent to rebellion. Written in the mid-20th century, L’homme révolté is marked by the aftermath of chaos and destruction of that era, yet now more than five decades on, his words appear to remain relevant today. With the complicity of contemporary philosophers such as Cornélius Castoriadis, Pierre Rosanvallon and Bernard Stiegler, this paper will focus not only on the pertinence of Camusian rebellion, but also on a correlation between revolt and human dignity. Does L’homme révolté still have his place as the third millennium begins and, if so, what is that place?

This is a phenomenon of communication named here as absurd congruence (AC) for conjugating odd occurrences that, being normalized and legitimized in contemporaneity, collaborate within themselves without, nevertheless, causing strangeness. The absurd congruencies (ACs) break out in unexpected and interspaced situations and locations in the communicational metropolis, fruit of the tension between communication, culture and consumption, hypertexting the verbalimage imbrications so very much accordingly to the environment that the strangeness of what they gather is not noticed. To identify the absurd congruencies , it is necessary to practice a methodology guided by a flâneur itinerancy, both in the city and online life, navigating through an interdisciplinary biographical review (Muniz Sodré), articulating four theoretical axes: a) mediabody theory (Helena Katz e Christine Greiner); b) methodological fetishism (Massimo Canevacci); c) cyber culture studies (Mcluhan, Lemos, Shirky); and d) post-colonial studies of communication (Souza Santos, Bhabha. Fanon). Treating absurd congruencies as glocal samplings promoted by the on/ offline transcodification, the objective of this research is to propose its proliferation as a cognitive symptom of the indexed subjects we are now. The hypothesis proposes AC as a communicational event of expanded authorship in diverse materializations, a mediabody of the communicational metropolis that, as it manifests itself, reveals values already present in the very communication / Um mix de elementos comunicacionais aparentemente incongruentes vem proliferando na metrópole, a partir da vivência atravessada pela cultura digital. Trata-se de um fenômeno da comunicação aqui nomeado de congruência absurda (CA) por conjugar ocorrências estranhas que coadjuvam normalizadas e legitimadas na contemporaneidade sem, no entanto, causar estranhamento. As congruências absurdas (CA) irrompem em situações e locais imprevistos e intersticiais na metrópole comunicacional, fruto da tensão entre comunicação, cultura e consumo, hipertextualizando a imbricação verbal-imagens de forma tão acordada com o ambiente, que a estranheza daquilo que reúne não é percebida. Para identificar as congruências absurdas devese praticar uma metodologia guiada por uma itinerância flâneur , tanto pela cidade quanto pela vida on line, navegando por uma revisão bibliográfica indisciplinar (Muniz Sodré), articulando quatro eixos teóricos: a) teoria corpomídia (segundo Helena Katz e Christine Greiner); b) fetichismo metodológico (Massimo Canevacci); c) estudos da cibercultura (McLuhan; Lemos; Shirky; e d) estudos póscoloniais da comunicação (Souza Santos; Bhabha; Fanon. Tratando as congruências absurdas como sampleamentos glocais, promovidos pela transcodificação on-off line, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo propor a sua proliferação como um sintoma cognitivo dos sujeitos indexados que agora somos. A hipótese propõe a CA enquanto evento comunicacional de autoria expandida em materializações diversas, um corpomídia da metrópole comunicacional que, ao se manifestar, revela valores já presentes na comunicação
