The Education Of Girls In Nineteenth-Century French Literature: Mother-Daughter Relations And Portrayals Of Identity In George Sand And Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Christina Grace Thomas Jan 2006

The Education Of Girls In Nineteenth-Century French Literature: Mother-Daughter Relations And Portrayals Of Identity In George Sand And Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Christina Grace Thomas

LSU Master's Theses

This thesis examines the relationships between mothers and daughters against the background of education in early nineteenth-century France. This era was the first time that a large population of French girls was separated from their mothers. Because of their attendance at school, girls created an identity separate from that of the one that their mothers had helped them to create. By using George Sand’s autobiography Histoire de ma vie and Marceline Desbordes-Valmore’s poem “Ondine à l’ecole,” the process of distinguishing the daughter from the mother has been analyzed from both the mother’s perspective and the daughter’s perspective. For Sand, who …

Reconnaissance De Dette : Don Et Centre-Don Dans Histoire D'Ernestine De Marie Riccoboni, Olivier M. Delers

Qu’est-ce qu'un roman comme Histoire d' Ernestine, mineur même dans l'œuvre de Marie Riccoboni, peut-il bien nous apprendre sur l'anagnorisis aristotélicienne? Après tout, une histoire d 'amour qui se conclut par un mariage entre un riche aristocrate et une jeune orpheline au revenus modestes et d'une honnêteté indiscutable ne défraye pas la chroniq ue de l'univers romanesque du dix-huitième siècle. Deux mots pour apporter un début de réponse: ignorance et noblesse, deux mots étymologiquement liés au morphème grec 'gno' qui signifie savoir, connaissance, morphème que nous retrouvons bien sur dans anagnorisis. Histoire d' Ernestine est le récit …

L’Idéologie Du "Topicalisme" Thématique Dans Les Romans Africains : De Yambo Ouologuem À Calixthe Beyala, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

This presentation stems from the debate on the quality of the African novel each time an African work — here the novel — is awarded a literary prize. This has been the case since René Maran’s Batouala and until recently with Calixthe Beyala’s Les honneurs perdus (1996). The paper examines discursive elements both constant and new foregrounded at each period of the debate. There are two competing theories at the heart of the discussion that are trying to neutralize each other. On the one hand, there is the entrenched belief of the African continent still in need of epistemological assistance. …

Zachary Richard's "Faire Récolte": A Translation From The French, Michael D. Bierschenk Jan 2006

Zachary Richard's "Faire Récolte": A Translation From The French, Michael D. Bierschenk

LSU Master's Theses

In the second half of the twentieth century, the Cajun language, which had been entirely oral for most of its history, began to emerge as a productive literary language. One of the prominent new authors of the period was Zachary Richard, also an important Cajun musician. One of his collections of poetry, Faire récolte (Les Éditions Perce-Neige, 1997), is translated here. This thesis also includes a translator's note that briefly explores the broad themes of the poems and the methods used in translating them.


Attitudes Des Éducateurs Envers Le Français Et Le Créole: Le Cas D'Haïti, Lesly Jean-François Jan 2006

Attitudes Des Éducateurs Envers Le Français Et Le Créole: Le Cas D'Haïti, Lesly Jean-François

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Language attitudes represent a serious challenge for Haitian education policy makers. This research is the first attempt to study the attitudes of elementary school educators toward the linguistic situation in Haiti. A survey of 154 teachers addressed their attitudes toward language use, preference and choice, and their stereotypes toward other Haitian native speakers. Three instruments (quantitative questionnaire, Match-Guise-Technique, and qualitative questionnaire) were utilized and two Statistical Methods (descriptive and inference), along with Chi-Square were used in order to observe the significance of differences in independent variables. Since Haitian teachers who participated in this study were assumed bilingual, the questionnaire first …
