Totemism şi„metamorfoză”

CorneliaMĂNICUŢĂ,

Universitstea „Ştefancel Mare”, Suceava

Résumé: ChezSadoveanu, les sens profonds de la fiction, souvent occultés, sont signalésaussi par l'onomastique. Le nom des personnages peut être vu comme un «signe»de l'origine et des fonctions qu'il accomplit dans l'univers fictif. Lesanthroponymes peuvent indiquer l'appartenance à une communauté (famille) avecdes traits distinctifs (Venea o moară pe Siret) ou à un milieu culturel (Baltagul),ils peuvent signaler une expérience existentielle (Ochi de urs, FraţiiJderi), suivie parfois d'un convertissement spirituel (Creanga de aur, Nopţile de Sânziene). Dans tous ses cas, lespersonnages sont identifiés par un nom d'animal qui indique leur originetotémique et leur signification mythologique dans la fiction littéraire. Leurphysionomie porte des caractéristiques zoomorphes et leur comportement suggèredes analogies avec celui des animaux silvestres et aquatiques, que Sadoveanuconnaît lors de ses expérineces cynégétiques. D'autre part, les animauxpoursuivis par le chassseur sont surpris dans des circonstancesanthropomorphes, avec des attitudes et des réactions humaines. Les commentairesdu narrateur soutiennent la thèse de la relation substantielle entre lechassseur et la chasse, comme la relation homme/ animal totémique. L'argumentle plus convaincant est la célébration de Diane (nziana) dans la culture roumaine traditionnelle en tant que protectrice de laforêt, implicitement, des animaux de la forêt, dont les plus importants sontl'ours et le loup.

Mots-clés:onomastique; anthroponymes; origine totémique; animaux silvestres/aquafiques;l'ours; le loup

Lemythe d'Oedipe et ses métamorphoses

Efstratia OKTAPODA,

Université de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV),France

Abstract: The myth ofOedipus is a long disambiguation and the history of relations between myth andliterature is surely very particular. More than other myths, the myth ofOedipus has been quickly associated to a literary work so that Occidentalpeople have confounded Oedipus with Oedipusthe King or Oedipus at Colonus,and the same myth with Sophocles' tragedies. If in the past we had no otherknowledge of the myth that the literary heritage, it seems that today we assistto a renaissance of myth which gets an important meaning into the literary andpsychoanalytic collective conscience. A true metamorphose which allowsreinventing the speech on Oedipus. Gide, Cocteau, Robbe-Grillet or Anouilh: thereference to Sophocles is always accompanied to a refusal of Sophocles. Thisshowed the born of few modern Oedipus, got rid of the first myth. Gide's Oedipus (1931), Cocteau's The Infernal Machine (1934),Robbe-Grillet's The Erasers (1953)and Anouilh's Oedipe ou le roi boiteux(Oedipus, or the Lame King) (1978)show clearly the metabolism of archetypal myth.

Pygmalion désenchantÉ

Eleonora Vratskidou,

Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales,France

Abstract: From the secondhalf of the 18th century onward, Pygmalion's story has acquired a remarkableimportance for Romantic representations of the artist, functioning primarily asa myth of artistic creation. This paper presents a 19th century Greekrenarration of the myth: the poem Pygmalion, ancient myth (1869) ofDimitris Paparrigopoulos. The interest of this epic poem resides in itsinversion of the original signification of the metamorphosis found at the coreof the myth: the animation of Pygmalion's beloved statue, which traditionallyexalted the power of art to generate life, becomes here a vehicle fordenouncing art as a source of illusion and disenchantment.

Key-words:Romanticism; representation of the artist; artistic creation; illusion;disenchantment

MÉlusine: l'envol de ladragonne,

de la fÉe À la femme, ou lalittÉrature métamorphique

Myriam White-LeGoff,

Université d'Artois, France

Abstract: Metamorphosis lies at the heart of the Melusinian legend. It concernsthe passing from one kingdom to another since the fairy, appearing as a woman,can transform into a boar or, especially, a serpent or dragon. Melusine is atrue spirit of Nature, wherein lies the explanation of her ability to assume theaspects of different creatures: metamorphosis expresses the fairy's veryessence, as attested by the troubling theme of motherhood with which she isassociated. Still, transformation of the beauty is not based solely in bodilychange as Melusine is seeking a soul and aspiring to become a human woman inorder to obtain salvation. This powerful metamorphic theme both engenders andmotivates the rewritings of the legend in a variety of forms, from tale topoem, to drama or to novel, as shown by a rapid chronology. It is thus literature itself which becomes metamorphic.

MIT ŞIPRETEXT ÎN PRE-MODERNITATE

ConstantinDRAM,

Universitatea„Al. I. Cuza”, Iaşi

Abstract: The romance of Tristan and Iseult owes its success – both during theMiddle Ages and in the modern age – to the theme of love and death, associatedwith that of adulterous love, both of them being subordinated to the theme ofDestiny. The possibility of the multiple interpretations of the story, that is,the ambiguity of the narrative, is generated by the mythical motivation ofhuman behaviour, which has led to the rise of a new cultural myth, that of thetrinity Eros–magic–nature. Don Quixote (the illusion of Eros) and RobinsonCrusoe (the absence of Eros) may be seen as modern replies to the myth ofTristan and Iseult.

Femmes et métamorphoses dans les Mille et Une Nuits

Ilaria Vitali,

Université deBologna, Italie

Abstract: TheThousand and One Nights is a book rich in metamorphosesand transfigurations. Magic is a main theme and is continuouslyreverberated by the book structure of stories-inside-stories. The narrativewheel of the Arabian Nights includes the well-known djinns, but also a dazzling train of women, witches or sorceresses,which exercise the art of metamorphosis on the opposite sex. Victims of theirsupernatural and sometimes capricious power, men are changed into dogs orturned half to stone. Which is the role played by these metamorphoses in thetext? In which way these sorceresses help to develop the discourse of thesultana perched on the edge of the chasm of death? In the light of these questions, this article focuses on the relationship between women andmetamorphoses in the book of TheThousand and One Nights.

NajibREDOUANE,

California State University, Long Beach, U.S.A.

Abstract: Throughout the centuries, Tangiers has been conducive to an atmosphere of exchange where a plurality of cultures and people have met and been enriched by their diversities. Situated at the crossroads of Europe and the African continents, its geographical position, its international status and the singularity of its landscapes have captivated many travelers and explorers.Tangiers has also inspired a mysterious and deep fascination, making it an artistic inspiration for novelists, poets, painters and musicians. In this study we shall examine the various perspectives of Tangiers as represented in the entire literary work of Ahmed Beroho, a native and fervent admirer of this unforgettable city.

Leplaisir du mythe et l'autofiction

chezMarguerite Duras

Daniela CĂTĂU-VEREŞ,

Universitatea „Ştefan cel Mare”, Suceava

Abstract: The autofiction and autobiography are the two tendencies that framethe writing of writer Marguerite Duras, the two possible interpretations evokedby the literary criticism concerning her writings. Duras was telling that shelived the reality as a myth, in this way she was contesting any direct clueconcerning at her life in her writing. Understanding her work we distinguishtwo critic directions concerning her source of inspiration: either Duras hasbeen inspiring from her own life and she was writing an autobiography, or shewas considering her writing as the fruit of imaginary reality, metamorphosis,and the writer is considered as a artist of autofiction. Nothing must surprisethe reader, because it can be seen from the beginning, that this writer likesto invent, to disorientate and to make difficulty reader's thinking. Theambiguity is the keyword of the existence and her work.

Key-words: autofiction; autobiography; reality; myth; invention; ambiguity

Gros-Câlin et lamétamorphose manquée

Claudia Almeida,

UERJ, Rio de Janeiro,Brasil

Abstract: In 1974 a big litterary trick begins: Emile Ajar. Six years and four texts later, a testament book by Romain Gary stated that Emile Ajar was actually his pseudonym. Neverthless, Emile Ajar's litterary work was strong and really different from Romain Gary's books. All of the important themes treated by the forged author are in his first book, Gros-Câlin. In this article we analyse the attempts of being born - the mimicry, the moulting and the failed metamorphosis - made by the narrator in this text and their relations with the double life of Romain Gary and Emile Ajar.

«Le Poète est pareil, en sa vainepensée,

à Phoebus poursuivant Daphné surle chemin,

Et son art est l'éclat d'uneforme passée

Dont il ne garde rien qu'unlaurier dans sa main.»

L.-A.Gauthier-Ferrière

Abstract: Simon's thematicuniverse is composed of matter that is constantly being reshaped, starting withthe corruption of the existing world, to produce diverse realities which arenever fully differentiated. Not only people and objects, but the writing itselfis dismantled and reassembled, both within individual texts and in the author'swork as a whole. In the light of this all-encompassing metamorphosis, thedefinitive nature of Photography, which aims to offer a durable form to theworld, represents a paradox which the author attempts to resolve in a varietyof ways.

Métamorphose etcontamination du lecteur dans Truismes de Marie Darrieussecq

Philippe Willocq,

lInstitut Supérieur d'Enseignement Libre, Liège (I.S.E.L.L.), Belgique

Abstract: Truismes in French (or Pigtales in English), the first and most famous novel of the French writerMarie Darrieussecq, is not just a “story of lust and transformation”. The slowprocess of metamorphosis runs through it as an undermining scheme contaminatingthe multiple levels of narration.

Thereader in praesentia continues to exist throughout marks of subtleredundancies. A toying within the mind, in the narrative continuum, takes overthe sensational evidence that we, as readers, are part of the whole writing andreading process.

However,at the moment of our sensations becomes our belief, the narrator excludes thereader making him in absentia. That modifying turns achieves the brutalmetamorphosis of the reader, perhaps announcing - after what Roland Barthescalled “La mort de l'auteur” - the reader's death. Or would it be a differentway to question our whole reading behaviour and consciousness? That is what this article proposes to explore.

Key-words: lust;transformation; process of metamorphosis; reader in praesentia; writing/reading process

Quand l'Autre prend corps en moi:la métamorphose

Velichka IVANOVA,

Université Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle

Abstract. On the boundarybetween identity and difference, metamorphosis illustrates one of the possibleattitudes of the I to its inner Other. This relationship is analyzed inthree works: "The Nose" by Gogol (1883), The Metamorphosis byKafka (1912) and The Breast by Roth (1972). In these narratives,metamorphosis reveals aspects of the I that it ignores. The transformations affirmthat identity is multiple and dynamic. The confrontation with the inner Otherthreatens the protagonists with disintegration. On the other hand,metamorphosis inspires the writers and their readers. It creates fictionalsituations where they can test contradictory variants of themselves thatotherwise they would prefer to mute.

Key-words: identity/alterity;metamorphosis; multiple identity; disintegration; fictional situations

L'École des veuves, une métamorphose de la Matroned'Éphèse

Jocelyne Le Ber,

Collègemilitaire royal Kingston du Canada

Abstract: By being presented in the form of a réécrivain i.e.a writer-reader who interprets old texts, Cocteau opened the way with themodern idea that the writing is always a rewriting, even a metamorphosis, madeby words and images, sounds and of gestures. Cocteau renovates the mythicaltale of Pétrone and wrote “a very free adaptation”. He gives to the novel ofPétrone, a dialogued form, that is to say an act made up of six scenes ofunequal lengths, which he conceives like a “farce de tréteau [1]”. Cocteauadapts the ancient tale for a public of the XXth century by writing a dialogue“simple et écrit en gros caractères pour être compris de tous”.

L'obsession de la métamorphose dans un florilèged'oeuvres littéraires européennes du XXe siècle

Sébastien Bouchard,

Université Laval,Québec – Université de Rouen, France

Abstract:Many European writers of the twentieth century, taking acritical look at civilization, have either noted, denounced or wished a “metamorphosis”of man into animal. GeorgesBataille even speaks of a “metamorphosis obsession” totheorize the desire of civilized man to behave like a wild animal. This articlepresents the major ways in which such as a “metamorphosis obsession” manifestsitself in a series of twentieth century European literary works, where thisobsession has become, shall we say, evenmore obsessional. Three types of metamorphosis are discussed: assimilation(where all men are likened to animals), dehumanization (where a group of menare treated like animals) and animalization (where one believes that men mustassume their animal nature to become fully human). All three approaches aim toprove that civilization has failed to “debestialize” man, if it is not, toman's greater shame, by reducing him at the state of an inferior or domesticanimal.

Key-words: metamorphosis; obsession; assimilation; dehumanization; animalization

Lesreprésentations de l'adolescent et de l'adulte dans La Mort à Venise de Thomas Mann

Bernard URBANI,

Universitéd'Avignon, France

Abstract: Our study deals with the image of the teenager in Death in Veniceby Thomas Mann. Tadzio, the graceful, tender Polish boy on a holiday, is anambiguous, androgynous figure. His smile enthralls the sickly Aschenbach whofalls prey to a mute and desperate old-age quest while on the verge of death.

The figure of the teenager is delineated by a specific social class :beauty is matched with nobility. Tadzio is the symbol of civilization andrefinement (cf. Plato's Banquet and Phedra, Xenophon, Mercury inOdysseus, the psychopompous Hermes, etc). Culture bolsters Aschenbach's love and feeds his innermythology. The teenager becomes the mysterious hero capable of changingAschenbach's vision of ideal love. Body and desire can henceforth triumph overthe soul. Tadzio (Beauty, Purity, Passionate Love), transgressing allinterdicts, is the instrument of Venus and the old man is her prey. He drawsthe old man away from the world of reason towards the world of passion... anabortive passion inspired by the god of Love and leading him to death. Yet the young man is not important inhimself. More significant is his representation in the mind of the old manrunning after his wasted youth around the deserted streets of Venice. Desireitself matters more than the object of desire. As if transfigured by it, theold man ends up temporarily embellished by self-love rather than lust. But noone can go through their own life again; nor can we tread the wonderland ofyouth anew, even if the price to pay isutter degradation. Death alone can lead back to things past, but love itself ishelpless.

Key-words: androgyne figure; old-age quest; death; teenager; refinement; desire;mythology; interdicts

Thomas Mann und Marcel Proust als AntimoderneUnkonventionelle Einstellungen zur geschichtlichen Zeit und zurZeitgenossenschaft

Raluca HERGHELIGIU,

Universitatea„Ştefan cel Mare“, Suceava

Résumé: L'article sepropose une vision générale sur les positions que ThomasMann et Marcel Proust abordent à l'égarddu temps historique et des éléments définitoires de la contemporanéité, tout ensoulignant les penchants communs qui relèvent de leur caractère antimoderne. Apartir de la définition de l'antimoderne proposée par Antoine Compagnon (LesAntimodernes, 2005) l'auteur de l'article entreprend une analyse inéditede certains passages significatifs de la littérature et surtout des écritsautobiographiques des deux écrivains. L'attitude ironique quant aux clichés dereprésentation promus par la Révolution Française (les principes de ladémocratie y tiennent une place importante), le refus de l'idée de toute hiérarchiedans les arts, l'ignorance de la chronologie et des bouleversements sociaux(surtout chez Proust) et l'apolitisme souvent déclaré sont considérés comme destraits antimodernistes spécifiques pour Thomas Mann et pour Proust.

Résumé: Bien quel'éducation ne soit pas un thème majeur des Rougon-Macquart,elle fait partie quand même de l'attaque d' Emile Zola contre le régime duSecond Empire. Allant plus loin que les études précédentes qui ont examinéprincipalement l'éducation des jeunes filles dans l'oeuvre zolienne, cet articletraite la représentation de l'éducation dans le contexte rural. Comme lesuggère le sous-titre, la tension entre l'éducation (le plaisir desconnaissances) et la procréation (la connaissance du plaisir) reflète une desquestions les plus importantes abordéespar Zola à travers le cycle des Rougon-Macquartet les séries qui le suivent, c'est-à-dire l'équilibre nécessaire entre lathéorie et la pratique qui caractérisera les hommes et les femmes de la sociéténouvelle qu'envisage Zola.

Abstract:This study emphasizes the evolution of one of the foremost Romanian poetessafter the war, Maria Banus. If her first volume, Ţara fetelor (1937), wasobviously marked by the influence of the avant-garde, after the war Maria Banushad to pay a heavy tribute to the “socialistrealism” imported from the U.S.S.R. However, after 1960 she regained herauthentic voice and she even managed to produce some of the most important booksof Romanian poetry at the end of the century, Tocmai ieşeam din arenă(1967), Portretul din Fayum (1969), Oricine şi ceva(1972), Noiembrie inocentul (1981) etc.

Un«roman de la terre» emblématique de l'espace québécois: Trente arpents de Ringuet

Constantin Tiron,

Universitatea „Ştefan cel Mare”, Suceava

Abstract: The concept of FrancophoneLiterature was first used byGerard Tougas in his work “FrenchLanguage Writers and France” (1973).In time, the term came to be also known as Frenchlanguage literature or new literaryspaces. Getting closer to the Francophone literature means opening up tothe world, embarking on a genuine dialogue among cultures and embracing theidea of cultural globalization. Québec literature, which is a French language literature, is also knownunder the name of French-Canadianliterature. The explanation is given by the very influence that Frenchliterature has always exerted on Canadian literature. An important part ofFrancophone literature, French-Canadian literature is very popular around theworld due to a few established representatives such as Louis Hémon, Felix-AntoineSavard, Ringuet, Anne Hébert and Yves Beauchemin.

Our paper, called “Thirty Acres - Novel of the Land”, is a possible interpretation of the novel “Thirty Acres” written by Philippe Paneton, author known under thepseudonym Ringuet. The novel was published in 1938 and is considered to closethe so-called literature of the land age,a literary movement which had a long life in Québec. Those who speak about“land”, they speak about “heritage” and “traditions”. As a consequence, the aimof this stream of novels of the landis to persuade the people to remain in the countryside and thus put an end torural exodus. Ringuet's novel “ThirtyAcres” also belongs to this literary current and relates the life of afarmer named Euchariste Moisan, who deserts his nativeland in order to live in the United States. The novel holds different meanings:it is the story of a family, a psychological novel, a history of a culture andeven a bildungsroman. In other words, it is a valuable novel, a corner-stone ofthe special identity which is Québec identity, within the larger context of Francophone literature.
