La quête du silence dans le théâtre de Claudel et de Beckett

Author(s): Dimitri Roboly / Language(s): French Issue: 13/2014

Claudel et Beckett sont de ceux pour qui l’éloquence se cache dans les non-dits, au point que leur théâtre devient le lieu par excellence de l’effacement du mot au profit de la pensée. L’insuffisance des mots torture le créateur qui se fraie un chemin vers le symbolisme du manque linguistique. The eloquence of Claudel and Beckett hides under the non-said, to the point that their theatre becomes the place par excellence of the effacement of words at the profit of thought. The insufficiency of words tortures these creators who devise a path towards the symbolism of linguistic lack.

This article presents the variations of travel in the Novels of Patrick Deville, published by Seuil since Pura Vida: life and death of William Walker in 2004.

ФУНКЦИЈА МАТЕМАТИЧКИХ ПОЈМОВА У ПОЕЗИЈИ ЕЖЕНА ГИЈВИКА (ЗБИРКА ПОЕЗИЈЕ EUCLIDIENNES, 1967)

Author(s): Katarina Z. Milić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 58/2015

Ce travail se propose d’examiner la question du langage poétique d’Eugène Guillevic dans cinq poèmes choisis du recueil Euclidiennes publié en 1967 („Point”, „Centre”, „Droite”, „Triangle isocèle”, „Triangle équilatéral”), en se concentrant particulièrement sur le dépassement formel et sémantique de son cadre poétique initial, aussi bien que sur la stylisation de l’expression poétique se basant sur l’inscription et l’incorporation des notions et des termes du langage scientifique, à savoir le langage mathématique. Notre but est de motrer, en choisissant une perspective sémiotique, le processus de transcodage des données appartenant au langage mathématique au langage poétique, de même que la fonction et le rôle des entités mathématiques agissant en tant que les signes-symboles dans une situation poétique. Dans la poésie de Guillevic on s’avise de deux tendances importantes- l’une consiste à rapprocher et à associcier deux systèmes de signes éloignés et à rendre complexe le processus même de la signification, et l’autre consiste à libérer la poésie d’une obligation de signifier et de toutes les fonctions traditionnellement attribuées à toute œuvre artistique pour en venir à un dévoilement de ses procédés littéraires et à une constitution libre et autoréférentielle.

Entre deux patries : poly-altérité et réflexions identitaires chez l’auteur francophone Spyros Tsovilis

Author(s): Olympia G. Antoniadou / Language(s): French Issue: 6/2014

Spyros Tsovilis, a contemporary writer of the Hellenic diaspora, is a particularly significant case of immigration literature based on a situation of exile and construction of identity. His first novel, Les Carnets de garde, describes the return of a young man to Greece in order to do his military service, where he takes notes during his guards and permissions. This experience accentuates the phenomenon of distance, as identified by a double exile. The novel raises universal questions, beyond the author's personal destiny. Spyros Tsovilis questions the human condition in a globalized world, through the personal experience of a man torn between two homelands, France and Greece, but finally belonging to Europe. Against all expectations, the novel Spyros Tsovilis does not describe the return home as a moment of joy and relief, but rather as a moment of conflict. "The return to home appears as a kind of “dysnosty”, a term composed of the greek prefix dys- (" hard ") and nostos (" return "). The experience of the "double return" described in the novel Spyros Tsovilis is a kind of deeply contradictory movement despite its apparent linearity and has a double spatial and temporal dimension; its evocation therefore raises the physical limits of the movement in which it is originated, and it is moving to a starting point.

Panaït Istrati, un francophone d’avant-garde

Author(s): Frédérica Zêphir / Language(s): French Issue: 6/2014

: Althoug he was always found his inspiration at the root of popular tradition, asserting both his identity and the importance of this rumanian origins, Panaït Istrati nevertheless wrote in French. Of Greek origine on his father’s side, fighting for universal love and the triumph of liberty, justice and truth, he has chosen to express his ideas in the only language which somehow represented his Greek-Rumanian heritage. Thus he created in his works a world of his own, between 2 cultures and 2 languages. At the time, intellectuals were seduced by the french littérature which conveyed the ideas of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, stemming from the Siècle des Lumières. Istrati is definitely a leader in the French speaking world.

Plagiat et réécriture (ex)centriques chez Gérard de Nerval

Author(s): Elena Mihaela Andrei,Mariana-Diana Câșlaru / Language(s): French Issue: 4/2016

In this paper, we try to show the relationship between plagiarism, rewriting and writing in the case of Nerval. To write on the others means, for this author, to let himself be read through the papers of the others. The plagiarism, the movement and the replacement of the words, the misappropriations of the senses (a single changed letter – music in tunic – is enough, at Nerval, to change an episode of orgy in an episode of platonic love), the estrangement of the original text (the author changes the real data, invents and mystifies a lot) are constants of the nervalian writing. Nothing is more constant in the work of Nerval than the practice of rewriting (under all the forms that this one takes, worth knowing, the re-use, the adaptation, the deletion, the omission, the quotation, the collage, the loan, the allusion, the compilation of several books, the condensation, the adaptation or the closeness of inspiration) and the plagiarism at the same time. All these techniques make of the work a real textual mosaic, as if there was really no weakness, at Nerval, between reading and writing or between writing, rewriting and plagiarism. Basically, the originality of this author consists in its effort of assembling the loans and even in the contesting of the originality.

Du roman exotique à l’interprétation (dés)exotisante : les romans « japonais » d’Amélie Nothomb et leurs lectures

Author(s): Przemysław Szczur / Language(s): French Issue: 5/2017

Taking issue with the thesis about the end of exoticism in contemporary literature, the author of the article analyses the permanence of exotic discourse in Amélie Nothomb’s “Japanese” novels: Fear and Trembling, The Character of Rain and Tokyo Fiancée. The Belgian novelist seems to appeal to the exotic because of the dynamics of her identity: it allows her to distance herself from the idealized country of the childhood. The exoticization of Japan by the author is often reinforced in readings of her novels. However, her novels also possess some de-exoticizing potential, activated in other interpretations. So, exoticization and de- exoticization seem to be equally dependent on the identity of the novelist and of the readers.

INTERFÉRENCES LITTÉRAIRES EUROPÉENNES À LA NAISSANCE DU ROMAN ÉPISTOLAIRE FRANÇAIS

Author(s): Krisztina KALÓ / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2009

It is a well-known fact that the beginnings of the Frenchepistolary novel go back to the second half of the 17th century. The literaltranslations and the free interpretations of some major or minor foreignnovels not only facilitated the birth of the genre in France, but it seemsthat they also determined its success during the 18th century. Havingstudied the sources of some French masterpieces, such as Persian Lettersof Montesquieu and Julie or New Héloïse of J. J. Rousseau, we found oneor more correspondences translated from European languages, especiallyfrom Italian, Spanish and English. In this article we trace back the mostimportant literary influences in Europe in the field of epistolary fiction toshow how these interferences contributed to the birth of the genre inFrance.

Želja za pisanjem

Author(s): Roland Barthes / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 23/2018

Još prije desetak godina bio bih mogao održati na temu književne kritike aktualno i živo predavanje. Ta je kritika tada bila bogata i raznovrsna: marksistička (Lukacs, Goldmann), tematska (Bachelard, Sartre, Richard), strukturalistička ili zapravo semiotička (jer su strukturalisti stricto sensu samo Dumezil, Benveniste i Levi-Strauss), i to sa svoja dva ogranka Naratologija i analiza Figura (često s jakim utjecajem psihoanalize) – neke od tih kritika danas su utrnule, druge su srećom još vrlo produktivne - ali, najčešće u individualnom smislu: svatko se bavi svojim radom, ali kao i na mnogim drugim područjima francuskog kulturnog života današnjice - više nema neke kolektivne, sustavne snage koja bi omogućila značajniju sintezu književnih komentara.

THE PROTAGONISTS OF “THREE WOMAN IN A MIRROR” BY E.E. SCHMITT FACING THE CHALLENGE TO BE A WOMAN-SUBJECT

Author(s): Simona-Mihaela Marica (Ilieș) / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 13/2018

The novel "Three Women in a Mirror" by E.E. Schmitt presents three side-by-side female destinies facing a challenge that will shape them from then on. Wishing to evolve as a subject if you are woman is not an externally encouraged endeavour in neither of the periods described in the novel. But, between the acute lack of opportunities and the unconditional freedom to affirm oneself as an individual, the protagonists will, sometimes, have to choose between multiple options and will surprise us with their decisions. The scientific undertaking of studying the issues posed by this novel entails resorting to the analytical and text interpretation method. The theoretical basis consists of Alain Touraine's essays on the emancipation of women, as well as the three female types described by Gilles Lipovetsky in the essay "The Third Woman". In my attempt to uncover the underlying ley lines beneath the three protagonists' life decisions, I have noticed that the fear of being on one's own is almost impossible to manage now, in the era of all possibilities, while during the previous eras, which clearly defined and restricted the role played by women in society, allowed for rather brave, saving options.

TRISTAN TZARA AND THE PERSPECTIVES OF DISCOVERING THE POETIC SELF

Author(s): Daniel Voicu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 11/2017

The cultural image of the writer from the avant-garde period is also constituted by the nature of the creative subject. This, although not obviously, can be spotted from certain angles. Thus, in the case of Tristan Tzara, the self is not decisively detached from the person of the author, so that in the opera can be deciphered certain aspects related to the biography, either by historical context or by ethnicity. All of this only creates a picture of the subject behind the poetic discourse.

VOYAGES EXTERIEURS ET INTERIEURS DANS LE PAYS DE MARIE DARRIEUSSECQ

Author(s): Serenela Ghiţeanu / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2019

The deterritorialization and one of its effects, the diasporic identity, are common on all continents. Back to her country of origin, a country half-real half-invention, the narrator of Marie Darrieussecq's “The Country” is in quest of herself and finds roots and links through the dead people in her family, then through the living ones, the child in her womb and also through the strange mother tongue that she has to learn again as an adult. Thus, a dead language becomes more important than the French language that she adopted, a small country becomes the new "Home" (and "Homeland" as well?) over Paris and the hologram of a beloved person that is dead is pursued, then rejected. An unexpected spiritual voyage is beginning to take shape, between the fringes of memory and the keen perception of the present.

LA GUERRE DES MENTALITES DANS LE ROMAN LES DESORIENTES D’AMIN MAALOUF

Author(s): Anca Porumb / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2019

Our study aims to analyze the novel The Disoriented by Amin Maalouf to see how the genius of the author is able to describe the Eastern and Western societies, separated by a deep fault line.The first part, entitled War, the source of all evils, focuses on the tragedy of the war which kills the most beautiful feeling, the friendship, as well as the loss of identity of the characters who have fled into exile. The second part, The gap between East and West, insists on the dialogue between Adam and Nidal, which offers readers the image of the contemporary Eastern society. The two parts of our analysis will have as common point the interest on the narrative perspective and the technique of writing, which make the novel highly successful.

Аллюзии и игра в романе Владимира Набокова «Король, дама, валет»

Author(s): Natalija G. Vladimirova,Ekaterina S. Kupriyanova,Joanna Mianowska / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2019

This article examines the diversity and variability of the game, as well as the allusions of Anderson and Flaubert (the novel “Mrs. Bovary”), which play a defining role in the poetics of the novel. It is established that being the forms of a secondary artistic conventionality, they led to the rejection by the author of a logocentric principle and correspondence of literature and life, as Nabokov repeatedly stated emphasizing their non-equivalence. The novel “the King, the Lady, the Jack”, the least studied from this point of view of the socalled “Russian” novels is chosen for research. As a result of the study the game is profiled and systematized, its ontological and agonistic varieties are identified, a poetological role of the game in meaning-making and plot creation is assessed as well as transitions from the real artistic world to the interim world of human semblance (the process of “necrosis” of the main characters, turns them into puppets, mannequins, wax figures in a shop window and Museum of criminology).

Воображаемая и реальная визуализация французскими путешественниками Казани как российского востока (1839 г.)

Author(s): Andrei A. Kouznetsov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2018

The paper is devoted to the perception of Kazan and Kazan province as the Russian East by French travelers. Astolphe de Custine and André Durand traveled to Russia in 1839. Custine, following the results of his visit to Russia, wrote the book “Russia in 1839” (La Russie en 1839). Duran captured the images of Russia in lithographs. The relevance of the research is due to the widespread opinion of Custine’s work as the beginning of the collective dislike of the West for Russia. The scientific importance is determined by the source study of the correlation of texts and artistic images on one topic. The study was performed to find out the impressions that Custine could get from Kazan as the oriental locus of the Russian Empire. As a means of verifying the alternative history hypothesis, nine Durand’s lithographs of Kazan were used. The results of the study include: the evolution of Custine’s ideas about Russia from the embodiment of the East to the phenomenon on the border of Asia and Europe; Custine’s emotional and intellectual discomfort as the cause of the hypercriticism of his book; Custine’s refusal to visit Kazan as a missed opportunity to see the eastern nature of Russia; Durand fixing the Islamic, Tatar realities in Kazan and Kazan province. The results obtained are important for the formulation and solution of the following problems: source study of synchronous and monocultural representations of textual and graphic visualization; research on Custine’s book “Russia in 1839” in connection with Durand’s lithographs; study of Kazan local history and everyday life.

Gospođa Edwarda

Author(s): Georges Bataille / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 24/2019

Sam autor Gospođe Edwarde skrenuo je pažnju na ozbiljnost svoje knjige. Zapisi na temu seksualnog života tretiraju se međutim obično olako, pa mi se zbog toga čini dobro da se na tome zadržim. Ne jer bih se nadao - ili kanio - išta promijeniti. Nego od čitatelja svog predgovora tražim da razmisli načas o tradicionalnom stavu prema užitku (on u igri spolova doseže ludi intenzitet) i prema boli (nju smrt umiri, istina, ali prvo dovede do najgoreg). Okolnosti nas u cjelini vode k tomu da od čovjeka (od čovječanstva) stvaramo sliku koja je daleko od krajnjeg užitka i jednako od krajnje boli: uobičajene zabrane pogađaju, jedne, seksualni život, a druge smrt, pa su oboje formirali sveto područje, područje koje spada u religiju. Kad su ozbiljan aspekt dobile jedino zabrane koje se tiču okolnosti nestanka bića, a one koje se tiču okolnosti nastanka - svaka genitalna aktivnost - shvaćene su olako, počelo je ono najmučnije.
