From Shell To Center: Gaston Bachelard And The Transformation Of Domestic Space In The Nineteenth-Century French Novel, Emily Pace
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation will look at the house-occupant relationship in four major French novels of the long nineteenth century: Balzac’s Le Père Goriot (1835), Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (1856), Zola’s Thérèse Raquin (1867), and Proust’s “Combray,” from Du côté de chez Swann (1913). Each of these novels relies heavily on the use and description of interior and domestic space, and the manner in which the characters in each novel inhabit and relate to this space is a reflection of the specific and evolving cultural landscape of the moment when these works were composed, I argue, as well as of the particular obsessions …

Litterature Quebecoise Et Problematique Identitaire: Poetique De L'Exil, Veronique Lamothe Bell
Litterature Quebecoise Et Problematique Identitaire: Poetique De L'Exil, Veronique Lamothe Bell
Masters Theses
This thesis is an analysis of problematic identity in French Canadian literature ("Quebecois literature"). I propose to study this issue through two works, the first written by a French-Canadian writer, Jacques Poulin, and the second, created by an Arab author who immigrated to Quebec, Wajdi Mouawad. My investigation demonstrates how the unique context of Quebec's writing explores identity while highlighting a status that is reminiscent of exile. The metaphor of identity, adjoined to the literature from Quebec, as represented by Poulin’s "Volkswagen Blues" (1984) manifests itself in the works of Mouawad, particularly in the play "Incendies" (2003) and the novel …
Configurations Spatiales Dans Terre Des Hommes Et Le Petit Prince D’Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, Annelise Bright
Configurations Spatiales Dans Terre Des Hommes Et Le Petit Prince D’Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, Annelise Bright
Masters Theses
Saint-Exupery asserts that man’s empire is the interior. In lieu of this assertion, we aim to delimit certain spaces of the intimate geography of the writer. The first level of this study thus consists of identifying the spatial configurations which organize the two major works of maturity belonging to Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Terre des hommes and Le Petit Prince.
We consider the spatial configuration a vast field, a constellation rich in referential diversification to which belong multiple intimate spaces.
The second level consists of detailing the intimate spaces belonging to this spatial configuration. From the tremendous density of Saint-Exupery’s work, …
Utopia Of Equality In Monsieur Vénus: Roman Matérialiste: Transgressing Gender Lines Or Transgressing Social Lines?, Ennio A. Nuila
Utopia Of Equality In Monsieur Vénus: Roman Matérialiste: Transgressing Gender Lines Or Transgressing Social Lines?, Ennio A. Nuila
Masters Theses
When the first edition of the novel by Rachilde, née Marguerite Eymery, Monsieur Vénus: Roman Matérialiste was published in Brussels in 1884, it was deemed pornographic and therefore banned. A revised edition was published in1889. The novel deals with gender inversion themes and the crossing of social boundaries. The novel’s main characters, Jacques and Raoule, belong to different social strata. Raoule is an aristocrat and Jacques is a florist. In the novel Rachilde presents Raoule as a strong woman who wants not equality but rather the privileges that men have.
In Jacques and Raoule the author conflates the drama and …

An Omen Of Things To Come: Translated From The Original Text "L'Ombre Des Choses À Venir" By Kossi Efoui, Amber Vandivort
Masters Theses
An Omen of Things to Come follows the story of a young man, recently entered into adulthood while he recounts the horrible histories, his own and those of his comrades and acquaintances, that have followed him through childhood, war, and the rediscovery of his father. He draws you into the story through first person narrative and allows you to walk alongside him and relive his past. His personal experiences open the readers eyes to the violence, disappearances and uncertainty that surround people in a time of war: in particular how these atrocities affect the lives of abandoned children and those …
