Vodoun Et Littérature Au Bénin, Guy Ossito Midiohouan

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Comme chez tous les peuples africains, la vie des peuples du Bénin en général est très fortement marquée par le sens du sacré. Cette réalité se traduit, dans le sud du pays, plus précisément dans l'aire aja qui comprend le Gun, les Fon, les Toli, les Ayizo, les Xwada, les Xwla ou Popos, les Aja eux-mêmes, les Waci et les Gen, par l'omniprésence des manifestations de la culture de ces peuples. Il va donc de soi que leur littérature en donne des représentations dont la présente étude se propose de saisir les contours et les variations.

Réinvention De Perpétue Dans Tanga : De Mongo Beti À Calixthe Beyala Ou Les Tracées D'Une Tradition Littéraire Camerounaise, Cilas Kemedjio

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

La stature intellectuelle et littéraire de Mongo Beti fait de lui le contrepoint à partir duquel la notion même d'une tradtion littéraire camerounaise devient possible. L'émergence de Calixthe Beyala, écrivaine de la post-indépendance, permet de définir le réseau intertextuel qui donne cohérence aux tracées littéraires camerounaises. La ville cruelle et la tragique condition féminine sont les références qui traversent toute la littérature camerounaise, signalant l'identité irréductible de chaque écrivain, mais posant aussi les jalons d'un espace littéraire camerounais.

Vers Une Typologie Des Actualites Televisees Sur L'Abc (Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Australie Occidentale) Et Sur France 2, Maryleen C.H. Troubat

Theses : Honours

This thesis is a comparative study of the evening news on the public television channels ARC (Western Australia) and France 2. It also investigates the notion of television news in Australia and France. Television news has become a dominant source of information for most people in developed countries. We propose to study the characteristics of the evening television news on ARC and France 2 and examine news as specific discourse and the different ways it is transmitted to the audience. This work also explores the use of sources, reports and interviews. Our study also uses recent French theories in discourse …

Autor De L'Excentricité De Phileas Fogg Et Du Captaine Nemo, Peter Schulman

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

[Premier paragraphe] Pour l'excentrique "décadent" du XIX siècle, le mariage de la modernité avec la technique aboutissait à une crise de névrose et de caprice emblématique de la retraite (Des Esseintes à Fontenay-les-Roses dans Á rebours de Huysmans) ou, comme c'était le cas d'Anatole Baju, le fondateur de la revue Le Décadent, à l'avant-garde de son temps, Phileas Fogg et le capitaine Nemo sont plutôt représantatifs d'une synergie des notions d'innocence et de fantaisie de l'excentricité anglaise avec les inventions et les appropriations de territoire de la France au XIXe siècle.

Language Attrition In French-Speaking Missionaries, Peggy S. Mauerman

Theses and Dissertations

Patterns of language loss were analyzed in twenty-five returned French-speaking missionaries who had spent from one-and-a-half to two years in a French-speaking environment and who had returned to the United States from four months to five years ago. The subjects were given a written vocabulary test and an oral interview to determine their proficiency in the language. The results of this study showed that the patterns or change in particular language forms varied according to each language form. Some categories showed an obvious pattern of loss while some varied from year to year, with no pattern of any kind in …

The Fench Writers In The Seventeenth Century: The Literary Works Of Corneille Converted And Stabilized The French Language, Bernard Raphael

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in partial fulfillment of requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1932, argues that the literary work of Pierre Corneille converted and stabilized the French language during the seventeenth century. It surveys the major literary institutions and figures shaping French letters during this period, including the Salon de Rambouillet and its role in refining literary taste, and the founding of the French Academy under Richelieu and its work compiling the French dictionary. Corneille's development of French classical tragedy is examined in detail, particularly through "Le Cid," with attention to his treatment of the …
