Banal/Queer/Spectacular: Reframing Blue Is The Warmest Color, Sophie Frank
Banal/Queer/Spectacular: Reframing Blue Is The Warmest Color, Sophie Frank
Comparative Literature M.A. Essays
In this essay, I interrogate visual representations of a lesbian love story in Jul’ Maroh’s graphic novel Le bleu est une couleur chaude and its film adaptation by director Abdellatif Kechiche, La vie d’Adèle : Chapitres 1 et 2. By studying the diegesis of each work’s opening scene, I reveal that the graphic novel embodies Barthes’s concept of a writerly text, or one that requires its reader to produce its meaning, while the film, as a readerly work, constructs a passive viewing experience for its audience. I argue that each author’s narratological approach exemplifies the particular manner in which they …
A Tale Of Two Nations’ Histories The Application Of Literary Fairy Tales As A Firsthand Account Of History, Nicholas Gottlob
A Tale Of Two Nations’ Histories The Application Of Literary Fairy Tales As A Firsthand Account Of History, Nicholas Gottlob
Honors College Theses
Fairy tales are often thought to be solely for children as a means of education and entertainment. The literary fairy tale provided a medium that allowed authors to express their opinions under the guise of a story. This has not always been the case as literary fairy tales have been utilized as political instruments by authors and intended for a highly educated audience. Using fairy tales as a facade provided protection for authors, as outright criticisms against those in power usually resulted in dire consequences such as imprisonment or even death for the objector. The literary fairy tale provided a …
Cambodian Family Albums: Tian's "L'Année Du Lièvre", Angelica P. So
Cambodian Family Albums: Tian's "L'Année Du Lièvre", Angelica P. So
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
This article explores how Franco-Cambodian cartoonist Tian’s graphic novel, L’année du lièvre [Year of the Rabbit], represents second-generation postmemory in the form of, what I call, a “Cambodian family album,” or a personal-collective archive. The album serves to convey to subsequent generations: 1) the history of the Cambodian genocide, 2) the collective memories of pre-1975 Cambodia preceding the Khmer Rouge takeover of Phnom Penh, and 3) the Cambodian humanitarian crisis and exodus of the 1970s-1990s. The conceptualization of the family album is derived from the literal translation, from Khmer into English, of the term “photo album” – “book designated for …

A Lyrical Comparison Of Suzanne And Its Translation, Natalie Sadler
A Lyrical Comparison Of Suzanne And Its Translation, Natalie Sadler
The Corinthian
This paper compares Leonard Cohen’s song Suzanne and its French translation by Graeme Allwright. It takes translation principles into account, by relying on translator Antoine Berman’s “Twelve Deforming Tendencies of Translation.” In his reliance on the instrumental model, which tries to find equivalence and treat the translation as a reproduction of the original, Allwright’s translation misinterprets several important elements in the original, namely the relationship between the speaker and the Suzanne character. In Cohen’s original, the character Suzanne is expected to follow the speaker and is changed by his “superior” intellect, while in Allwright’s version Suzanne is likened to a …
The Shadow Of Dante In French Renaissance Lyric: Scève's Délie, Alison Baird Lovell
The Shadow Of Dante In French Renaissance Lyric: Scève's Délie, Alison Baird Lovell
Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture
This book presents an interpretation of Maurice Scève's lyric sequence Délie, object de plus haulte vertu (Lyon, 1544) in literary relation to the Vita nuova, Commedia, and other works of Dante Alighieri. Dante’s subtle influence on Scève is elucidated in depth for the first time, augmenting the evident allusions in Délie to the Canzoniere of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Scève’s sequence of dense, epigrammatic dizains is considered to be an early example, prior to the Pléiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of Petrarch's vernacular poetry, in a time when imitatio was an established literary practice, signifying the poet’s …

Nous souhaitons proposer dans cet article une réflexion sur l'écriture des articles scientifiques, en défendant l'idée que les textes rendant compte de recherches doivent être considérés comme des textes à part entière, c'est-à-dire comme des environnements ayant leur propre cohérence, qui échappe en partie à leurs auteurs. En partant de cette hypothèse, nous adoptons pour notre propre article une forme qui donne une large part aux jeux d'échos entre des citations, issues de textes volontairement très différents.

Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher
Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher
Al Jinan الجنان
Notre volonté d’intégrer le texte littéraire dans les cours universitaires de français langue étrangère a permis de le didactiser selon la perspective actionnelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons élaboré un modèle didactique basé sur l’étude du roman » L’école de la guerre » d’Alexandre Najjar, un écrivain libanais d’expression française. Plusieurs activités langagières et artistiques ont été présentées avec succès par les étudiants dans le cadre d’une manifestation culturelle. Les résultats positifs de l’évaluation de ce projet montrent les prémisses d’un changement de représentation du texte littéraire.

L’Écriture De L’Inconscient Dans Les Désaxés(2004) Et Not Tobe(1991) Chez Christine Angot, Rana Faysal
Al Jinan الجنان
Cette étude consacrée à l’oeuvre de Christine Angot prend appui sur des questions renvoyant à un problème qui se partage l’espace littéraire : l’écriture de l’inconscient. Nous nousproposons d’aborder cette question à la lumière de la psychanalyse. Il s’agira moins d’étudier l’univers romanesque de l’auteur dans Les Désaxés et Not To Be, que d’éclairer, à travers la lecture de ces récits, certains problèmes relevant de la lecture psychanalytique en général
Not Your Average Rose: Cultural Inversion In Pizan’S 'City Of Ladies', Alex Donley
Not Your Average Rose: Cultural Inversion In Pizan’S 'City Of Ladies', Alex Donley
Montview Journal of Research & Scholarship
This research addresses Le Livre de la Cité des Dames—translated into English as The Book of the City of Ladies—as an outstanding work of proto-feminist literature from 1405. It is written by a woman, in defense of women. Christine de Pizan plays the central character in her own work, in which she combats misogyny with a revised account of history. She battles prevalent ideals of courtly love and gender inequality as things that are not merely repulsive or immoral, but wholly heretical. Rather than focusing on historical accuracy, de Pizan uses the literary power of her narrative to …

Rewriting The Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau And The Art Of Translation, Christopher Clarke
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
While the literary oeuvre of French author Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) has been extensively studied, his work as a literary translator has been largely overlooked. Queneau was a prominent member of the French literary avant-garde, but also a literary translator for two decades (1934-1953), and his writing was greatly influenced and impacted by his readings and translations of Anglophone writers. This dissertation provides insight into the role of translation in his conception of writing and language, and the inseparability of the different facets of his career as a writer, literary translator, and publisher. I examine his personal linguistic and literary history …

Le Journaliste/Ecrivain : Reporter Ou Reformateur ? L’Exemple De Franchir La Mer De Wolfgang Bauer, Hasna Bouharfouche
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Suite à l’essor industriel et technologique, le monde devient la scène de plusieurs crises environnementales, sociales et humanitaires en parallèle avec la course aux armements. Les répercussions de ces crises se traduisent entre autres par des changements démographiques dramatiques dans certaines zones du monde, notamment au Moyen-Orient (la Palestine, l’Iraq et la Syrie à titre d’exemple. Le Liban auparavant durant la guerre civile), à cause des déplacements forcés et des nombres des émigrés. Ces déplacements attirent les médias du monde qui tentent de par leur « responsabilité sociale » de parler et de comprendre ce genre de crise, et tout …
In The Wake Of Medea: Neoclassical Theater And The Arts Of Destruction [Table Of Contents], Juliette Cherbuliez
In The Wake Of Medea: Neoclassical Theater And The Arts Of Destruction [Table Of Contents], Juliette Cherbuliez
Literature
In the Wake of Medea examines the violence of seventeenth-century French political dramas. French tragedy usually appears as a passionless, cerebral genre that refused all forms of violence. In the Wake explores the rhetorical, literary, and performance strategies through which violence persisted. The mythological figure of Medea, foreigner who massacres her brother, murders kings, burns down Corinth, and kills her own children, can serve as a paradigm for this violence. Paradigmatic also of the refugee who is welcomed yet feared, who confirms our concept of the social while threatening its integrity, Medea’s presence is this book’s organizing principle. An alternative …

Bernard Palissy: Early Career - Securing Patronage And Mimicking Nature In A Moment Of Crisis, Karissa Bailey
Bernard Palissy: Early Career - Securing Patronage And Mimicking Nature In A Moment Of Crisis, Karissa Bailey
LSU Master's Theses
Early in 1562, France was experiencing a state of high religious tension between Protestants and Catholics that would precipitate the outbreak of the Religious Wars on March 1. A week before, Bernard Palissy, a Huguenot potter, wrote a letter to his Catholic patron from prison inBordeaux where he was being held on charges associated with an iconoclastic incident in his home city of Saintes. This letter would later be published as a dedication letter for the pamphlet Architecture et Ordonnance, which featured the description of a grotto commissioned by Anne de Montmorency, Palissy’s patron, seven years earlier. This thesis analyzes …

D'Une Violence L'Autre. Scénographie Des Rapports De Hiérarchie Et De Domination Dans La Préférence Nationale De Fatou Diome, Olga Hel-Bongo
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Figures of vulnerability abound in contemporary francophone novels. Be it children soldiers, Black women in Monenembo and Kourouma's fictions, abused children or prostitution in Marie NDiaye, Fiston Mwanza and Fatou Diome's novels, the vulnerable subject, far from undergoing torments of a decadent and miserable life due to a situation of lack, often shows or hides a strength that often sharpens on contact with violence. Fatou Diome uses silence and writing to express the character's resistance to violence. For instance, the feminine subject sets up barriers around the self to counter the adversity of a world often depicted as intolerant, undifferentiated …

Figures De Vulnérabilité Et Résistance Dans Une Si Longue Lettre De Mariama Bâ, Moolaadé D'Ousmane Sembène Et La Grève Des Bàttu D'Aminata Sow Fall, Kasereka Kavwahirehi
Figures De Vulnérabilité Et Résistance Dans Une Si Longue Lettre De Mariama Bâ, Moolaadé D'Ousmane Sembène Et La Grève Des Bàttu D'Aminata Sow Fall, Kasereka Kavwahirehi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article is about figures of vulnerability and resistance or "vulnerability in resistance" in A so long letter by Mariama Bâ, Moolaade by Ousmane Sembène and La grève des bàttu by Aminata Sow Fall. It aims to show that no one can be locked in their vulnerability. The individual, even the most vulnerable, is always more than his vulnerability that he can mobilize as a resource in the organization of resistance against the institution or the unjust norms of which his vulnerability is the product. If one recongnizes "porosity of the subject with regard to the social", which porosity means …
Généalogie D'Une Banalité De Sinzo Aanza. Le Roman Des Moins-Que-Rien Et Des Héros Médiocres, Justin Bisanswa
Généalogie D'Une Banalité De Sinzo Aanza. Le Roman Des Moins-Que-Rien Et Des Héros Médiocres, Justin Bisanswa
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This study looks at vulnerability in its full complexity through an analysis at the interstice of sociology and rhetoric of the book Genealogie d'une banalite by Sinzo Aanza. The inhabitants of the poor neighbourhood of the Bronx decide to overcome their misery by digging under their dwellings, in search of copper to sell to the Chinese. This access to money brings them to relish in certain pleasures. The characters live in an enclosed environment that, through the instability of their representation, becomes the space of multiple enigmas: social, sexual and emotional. These characters provoke a condensation of meaning leading to …
Vulnérabilité Et Isolement Dans Rosie Carpe De Marie Ndiaye, Amélie Michel
Vulnérabilité Et Isolement Dans Rosie Carpe De Marie Ndiaye, Amélie Michel
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article focuses on the topic of vulnerability and the ambivalence of the heroine's strategies of resistance in Marie NDiaye's novel Rosie Carpe. The analysis of Rosie's detachment, oblivion and fantasy demonstrates how memory, consciousness and imagination can become areas of resistance in front of an unbearable reality. As a matter of fact, Rosie proposes an inner reconfiguration of the reality which, by its oversights and alterations, gives her the possibility to escape suffering, obligation and sin. This way, she widens the gap with herself and the world in order to protect herself. Paradoxically, this gap condemns her to apathy …
L'Imaginaire À L'Épreuve Du Carcéral : Le Pouvoir Des Mots Dans Cette Fille-Là De Marssa Bey Et La Voyeuse Interdite De Nina Bouraoui, Chedli Jedidi
L'Imaginaire À L'Épreuve Du Carcéral : Le Pouvoir Des Mots Dans Cette Fille-Là De Marssa Bey Et La Voyeuse Interdite De Nina Bouraoui, Chedli Jedidi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The article analyzes the (re)configuration of space towards female resistance in Cette fille-là by Marssa Bey and La voyeuse interdite by Nina Bouraoui. The two authors portray deviant female characters who refuse to be caught up in the social enclave governed by patriarchal law. In these works, the assertion of identity is interdependent on the unfolding of space which opts for denouncing or liberating the voice, the body and the feminine individuality. By convening the imagination along with the female memory, these marginal identities engage in bending the confinement and freeing the speech. Clothed in presumed fragility and weakness, this …
Monde Étrange/Étranger-Monde : Chant D'Une Heureuse Fragilité Dans Cacophonie De Ken Bugul, Anaïs Metoukson
Monde Étrange/Étranger-Monde : Chant D'Une Heureuse Fragilité Dans Cacophonie De Ken Bugul, Anaïs Metoukson
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This paper analyzes the psychological vulnerability of a wandering and traumatized feminine character in Ken Bugul's novel Cacophonie. It is argued that vulnerability, presented both as a creative and destructive force, is conveyed using an aesthetic of strangeness. Disturbances accumulate on the figurative, event and semantic levels, maintaining an hesitation between supernatural and natural explanations of the narrative process. However, those same troubles also allow a diving into the pain of a lonely spirit. Ultimately, this psychic maze offers a breakaway, given as a consented and redefined fragility. Through the willing choice of death, the never-ending agony of the character …
