Queer Not: Medieval Romance's Toll On Queerness, Kyle Gaydo 2023 Seton Hall University

Queer Not: Medieval Romance's Toll On Queerness, Kyle Gaydo

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

How does a contemporary audience handle medieval queerness? What, exactly, constitutes medieval queerness, and how does the medieval literary genre of romance impact it? This thesis attempts to grapple with these questions, and many more, utilizing the 13th-century Old French romance Le Roman de Silence by Heldris de Cornuälle. Medieval romances are particularly fruitful for this analysis because, on one hand, the genre consistently re/turns to cisheteronormativity, and, on the other, because scholarship generally has not applied queer theory to the study of romance. Silence follows Silence, a young Englishwoman who is raised as a boy to protect her family’s …


Entre Rêve Et Résignation – Références Intertextuelles Dans Les Chemins Qui Montent (1957) De Mouloud Feraoun, Inès Kremer 2023 Université Duisburg-Essen, Allemagne

Entre Rêve Et Résignation – Références Intertextuelles Dans Les Chemins Qui Montent (1957) De Mouloud Feraoun, Inès Kremer

Journal of Amazigh Studies

Résumé :

Malgré la présence évidente et continue des références intertextuelles dans les romans de Mouloud Feraoun, celles-ci n’ont été que rarement étudiées. C’est notamment dans son troisième roman, Les chemins qui montent, que les renvois à la littérature orale de la Kabylie comme à l’œuvre romanesque et philosophique d’Albert Camus se prêtent particulièrement à une analyse approfondie. Ils révèlent la résignation profonde du protagoniste qui se refuse à la révolte métaphysique au sens camusien, révolte rendue impossible par la condition coloniale.

Mots clés : Feraoun, intertextualité, Camus, et littérature orale kabyle

Abstract:

Despite the importance of intertextual references …

Inalienable For Whom? Activism And The Politics Of Decolonial Restitution In French Museums, Alexandra Byrne 2023 William & Mary

Inalienable For Whom? Activism And The Politics Of Decolonial Restitution In French Museums, Alexandra Byrne

Undergraduate Honors Theses

This thesis will interrogate the relationship between French museums, activists, and the government as it relates to postcolonial restitution of cultural heritage, often stolen from its country of origin under uncertain or exploitative circumstances. I will seek to understand 1) how museums address colonialism and restitution in their public rhetoric, 2) the legal and geopolitical barriers to restitution, and 3) the role of activists. I construct a theory of a pyramid of pressure, theorizing that museums push restitution issues beyond their galleries to larger legal and geopolitical barriers, but that these barriers are now being questioned by increased activism. I …

« Monologue » : Une Femme Rompue Impactée Par Les Atteintes Sociétales, Sloane Larsen 2023 College of the Holy Cross

« Monologue » : Une Femme Rompue Impactée Par Les Atteintes Sociétales, Sloane Larsen

World Languages Student Scholarship

“Monologue,” an essay from Simone de Beauvoir’s THE WOMAN DESTROYED, is a rambling and disjointed account of motherhood, madness, and chagrin. The short story is told by a mother named Murielle, a woman who has lost everything, including her daughter Sylvie, by suicide. Simone de Beauvoir, the author of this story, is considered the “mother” (Kruks and Coryell) of second-wave feminism and is well-known for her fight for equality between the sexes. In “Monologue,” de Beauvoir sheds light on the difficulties mothers face and proposes a reflection on life, femininity, and descent into madness. De Beauvoir incorporates her feminist theories …


Evaluating The Efficacy Of The Christian Reformational Transcendental Model Of Art Criticism As A Literary Theory Through Albert Camus’S The Stranger, Elizabeth Miller 2023 Abilene Christian University

Evaluating The Efficacy Of The Christian Reformational Transcendental Model Of Art Criticism As A Literary Theory Through Albert Camus’S The Stranger, Elizabeth Miller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The subfield of art criticism and theory within Christian reformational philosophy, a descendent of the neo-Calvinist theology developed through the work of Dutch Reformer Abraham Kuyper and others, is becoming increasingly diverse. Recently, scholars such as Leland Ryken, Glenda Faye Mathes, and Philip Graham Ryken have built upon twentieth-century theologian Francis Schaeffer’s worldview approach by popularizing a transcendental model of art criticism, an approach that applies the transcendentals of truth, goodness, and beauty to works of art. However, the transcendentals, while widely discussed in the fields of philosophy, theology, and, to a lesser extent, art theory, have not been explicitly …

Figures Du Père Et Parenté Littéraire Dans La Vie De Saint Alexis Et Le Livre De La Cité Des Dames, Marie Bellec 2023 University of Pennsylvania

Figures Du Père Et Parenté Littéraire Dans La Vie De Saint Alexis Et Le Livre De La Cité Des Dames, Marie Bellec

Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture

Cet article examine la figure paternelle dans trois récits de la vie des saints, La Vie de Saint Alexis, « Sainte Marine » et « Sainte Euphrosine » dans Le Livre de la Cité des Dames, de Christine de Pizan. Les pères respectifs des saints incarnent certaines attentes sociales et familiales, ils exercent notamment sur leurs enfants une pression pour qu’ils se marient. Les contraintes ne sont pas les mêmes selon le genre des saints : alors que la piété d’Alexis l’empêche de convoler, l’oppression sociale se déplace vers celle du genre pour nos hagiographies au féminin.

L’Année De Bacchus D’El Mostafa Bouignane Entre Devoir De La Mémoire Et Exaltation De La Vie, Abdelkbir Jourji

Dirassat

This study will discuss the approach to the structure and narrative composition of the novel entitled L'année de Bacchus by Mostafa Bouignane, published by Virgule Editions in 2020. This text adds to a series of stories of which Bouignane constructs a narrative universe to reveal the nature of man who, even submissive and reduced, remains capable of regaining his freedom and leading a peaceful life. Thus, our study will propose an analysis of the ideological and historical dimension of this text representative of the literary experience of the author, then at the end the questioning of his human and moral …


Performance Et Rituel Au Maroc: Un Mariage Incestueux, Zineb Amrani 2023 Doctorante, Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines, Université Ibn Zohr, Agadir, Maroc

Performance Et Rituel Au Maroc: Un Mariage Incestueux, Zineb Amrani

Dirassat

Confined to religion, mythology and the field of the supernatural, the performative dimension of ritual practices was neglected. Looking at ritual through the prism of Performance Studies means shifting the gaze to the context, gesture, play and communication rather than focusing on the cognitive dimension of actors and the textual dimension of Aristotelian theater. It is therefore in order to understand this conceptual effervescence that breaks with the cartesian doctrine, opposing the cognitive and the social, on the one hand, and the cognitive and the action, on the other hand, that we have chosen to devote the present article to …


Mise En Scène D’Un Espace En Devenir: De L’Espace Défraichi À L’Espace Métamorphose, Ismail MADANI ALAOUI 2023 Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines, Agadir, Maroc

Mise En Scène D’Un Espace En Devenir: De L’Espace Défraichi À L’Espace Métamorphose, Ismail Madani Alaoui

Dirassat

This study takes an interdisciplinary approach. It calls on semiotics, geography and communication. And according to R. Barthes who says “whoever would like to outline a semiotics of the city should be at the same time semiologist (specialists in signs), geographer, historian, urban planner, architect and probably psychoanalyst”. To carry out this study, we have chosen the city of Guelmim as an example of analysis. We start from a corpus of images to see to what extent does the semiotics of space account for the intelligibility of the city? Can it be perceived as a significant and attractive approach in …


La Traduction Des Expressions Idiomatiques Par Équivalent Idiomatique, Chakib LBAIDI, Amal ARRAME 2023 ESRFT, Tanger, Maroc

La Traduction Des Expressions Idiomatiques Par Équivalent Idiomatique, Chakib Lbaidi, Amal Arrame

Dirassat

Fixed expression and idioms are part of the translated discourse. They are ready-made constructions that summarize an idea or a concept by using outstanding formulas. Translate these expressions is a big challenge for the translator. Thus, a well done translation does not mean mastering the linguistic skills of both languages, since the text does not contain just linguistic facts. It is also about culture, emotions, connotations, style and the author’s genius. Formulaic language often presents significant issue in translation just as well as finding a fixed expression as equivalent.

The skill of communication is a notion that attracts attention of specialists. They believe it is the most important element of learning foreign languages. In fact, the main objective of teaching is achieving effective communication and being able to use the appropriate linguistic form to each situation.
