L'Auteur Dramatique Et La Conscience Professionnelle (1610-1640), Heather N. Kirk

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

This dissertation falls within the scope of a number of socio-literary studies published since Alain Viala’s La Naissance de l’écrivain (1985). According to Viala, the “author” is the professional incarnation of the writer (in the mechanical sense of “scribe”). He is recognisable by his participation in the Republic of Letters and his validation by the various socio-political structures of his era (academies, salons, paying public, critics, printers). To be considered an author, or a professional man of letters, one must successfully emancipate oneself from purely intellectual milieus in order to build networks that allow for competition. Contrary to Viala’s assertion …

The Politics Of Wounds, Jonathan Nash

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

What configuration of strategies and discourses enable the white male and settler body politic to render itself as simultaneously wounded and invulnerable? I contextualize this question by reading the discursive continuities between Euro-America’s War on Terror post-9/11 and Algeria’s War for Independence. By interrogating political-philosophical responses to September 11, 2001 beside American rhetoric of a wounded nation, I argue that white nationalism, as a mode of settler colonialism, appropriates the discourses of political wounding to imagine and legitimize a narrative of white hurt and white victimhood; in effect, reproducing and hardening the borders of the nation-state. Additionally, by turning to …

L'Écriture Du Non-Voilement Chez Les Romancières Francophones De L'Afrique Au Sud Du Sahara, Yolande Batia

La plupart des lectures proposées sur les textes des femmes d’Afrique au Sud du Sahara de la deuxième génération s’inscrivent en effet dans le paradigme du dévoilement, c’est-à-dire de la critique sociale, aux côtés de la problématique identitaire individuelle largement soulignée. Force est de constater cependant que l’écriture de ces romancières, pour le volet de la critique sociale, comporte aussi un aspect qui va bien au-delà du « dévoilement ». En mettant au jour la réalité que vit la femme dans la société, l’écriture se fait l’expression de la part de cette réalité qui ne fait pas l’assentiment dans le …

Esquisse D’Une Grammaire Du Plaisir, Alexandre Sophie Frantz Sannen

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Traditionally, scientific research about pleasure in French literature has been conducted along two paths. The first being historical and based on a thematic uniting. The second path has been through the field of literary reception. Boosted by a modern logos, these approaches have confined their analysis to a heritage of historic speech and an ethos considered to be universal. It is now time to examine these paradigms and to analyse pleasure from a morphological perspective.

From this standpoint, two questions can be raised. Why is the pleasure a sign whose circulation activates the operability of fiction? Which structure, specific to …
