The search for identity in the narrative stylistic and poetic study

2016

This dissertation deals with the quest for narrative identity in four distinct narratives: Le Premier Homme, by Albert Camus; Les Oliviers de la justice, by Jean Pélégri; Ébauche du père, by Jean Sénac; and Outremer, by Morgan Sportes. The authors of these narratives belonged to the community of French people born in Algeria and, later on, to that of the pieds-noirs. The texts examine mainly the end of French Algeria. This accounts for the reference to the years 1954-1962, among other periods of time, and to the tragic consequences these years led to, including exile and uprooting. The designation “French Algeria” in itself contains at least a dual reference to identity, if not referring to…

André Brink and the Afrikaner Heritage

2004

This paper shows how André Brink, dissident Afrikaans writer, tried to write against his heritage. The most visible strategy consisted in redefining Afrikanerdom as dissidence and as africanity. The notion of betrayal was systematically reversed so that the Afrikaners who supported the Afrikaner regime were presented as the real traitors. Yet dissidence was not an easy position for Brink and both he and his heroes had ambivalent positions.

Don Quichotte au féminin : Charlotte Lennox, The Female Quixote

2011

Cette lecture de The Female Quixote (1752) de Charlotte Lennox se propose d'examiner la manière dont le texte source, Don Quichotte, est intégré dans une tradition fictionnelle anglaise déjà complexe, fondée sur le mélange de la romance et du roman réaliste. Elle dégagera également les différences qui ne peuvent manquer du simple fait que le héros est ici une héroïne : le fait qu'Arabella, l'héroïne en question, rêve ses aventures plutôt qu'elle ne les vit, le fait que le comique est au frais des personnages masculins qui l'entourent plutôt qu'au sien et le fait qu'elle représente en fin de compte l'idéal moral auquel tout un chacun se devrait d'aspirer. Cet avatar féminin de Don Quichotte …

2017

Textes réunis et présentés par Sylvie Crinquand; National audience; Le roman de Richard Aldington reflète le scandale que fut la Première Guerre mondiale en puisant aux sources classiques de l'imaginaire européen et révèle l'ambivalence du mythe de la modernité en suggérant que la crise de la filiation créée par la Grande Guerre est également inhérente au Modernisme.

Identité et espace chez André Brink: Looking on Darkness, Rumours of Rain et Imaginings of Sand

2007

This article explores André Brink's conception of identity in terms of space. Examining three novels which all revolve around a first-person narrator exploring his/her own identity, Looking on Darkness, Rumours of Rain and Imaginings of Sand, it shows that Brink's conception of identity is both spatial and familial: characters try to become "rooted" in South African soil, but this rooting process is achieved only in the post-apartheid novel, Imaginings of Sand. A brief comparison with Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon tries to shed light on the source of Brink's spatial conception of identity.

"For beyond this trading community lies family life" : filiation et écriture dans Crossing the River

2016

This paper examines the relationship between filiation, affiliation and writing in Crossing the River. First, it examines the diversity of literary genres incorporated, revisited and juxtaposed in a novel often defined by its polyphonic structure. This analysis leads to a study of the ways in which family ties, and particularly the links between parents and children, are staged in the text through a complex pattern of repetitions and inversions. The echoes which connect, and sometimes oppose, the various parts of the novel suggest that repetition and inversion are the tools through which family identity is constructed throughout the novel. The reason behind these textual strategies may also…
