Leclezien Hybridity LECLÉZIEN HYBRIDITY: RELATIONS ACROSS GENRES, HISTORIES AND CULTURES IN SELECTED WORKS Martha van der Drift A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (French). Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by, Dominique Fisher Hassan Melehy Jessica Tanner Yolande Helm Bruno Thibault i © 2014 Martha van der Drift All rights reserved. ii ABSTRACT Martha van der Drift: Leclézien Hybridity: Relations Across Genres, Histories and Cultures in Selected Works (Under the direction of Dominique Fisher) This dissertation explores the representation of hybridity in selected works of Nobel Laureate JMG Le Clézio. More particularly, I define hybridity as the intersection of literary and artistic generic diversity, fictional and historic discourses and heterogeneous world cultures. I propose to consider the generic diversity that characterizes the author’s work as a means to mirror the cultural and historical heterogeneity of our world today. Until now, leclézien scholars have separately examined historiographical elements, representations of regional cultures and generic diversity within the boundaries of French literary theory. Indeed, these studies provide valuable stylistic, thematic and historical insights. However, by investigating these elements in concert and in the context of current discussions of hybridity in Francophone studies, my dissertation sheds a new light on the relationships between multiple genres, diverse fictive and historical discourses and geographical spaces that distinguish Le Clézio’s works. In my first chapter, I discuss the key concepts of hybridity in Francophone literary and cultural studies while also considering the ongoing debate concerning a regional or transcultural approach to Le Clézio’s works within the context of French and Francophone studies. Having established this methodological basis, in chapters two through four, I examine the intersections of genres, histories and cultures in two recent literary works, iii Révolutions (2003) and Cœur brûle et autres romances (2000) and the author’s recent exhibit at the Louvre from November 2011-February 2012, Le Musée Monde. I contend that by privileging transversal encounters between genres, histories and cultures, Le Clézio incites an engaged reader, or viewer, response to construct new, Relational histories and identities, an affective response of Relation to embrace the Tout- monde as suggested by Martiniquais writer and philosopher, Edouard Glissant. Through my research, it is my intention to underline the socio-cultural value of Le Clézio’s work in promoting intercultural understanding. What is more, my aim is to shine light on potential transversal methods for Francophone scholars who approach literary, performing and visual arts in our twenty-first century globalizing world. iv It is with much love and gratitude that I dedicate this dissertation to my late father, Howard C. Broom, whose faith, love and support continue to inspire me to believe in Life, Humanity and my dreams. “Être un individu, faire et laisser faire cet individu, c’est peut-être là le vrai chemin vers les autres […] Chaque vie doit s’achever et se résoudre indépendante, et dépendante de tous, jusqu’à l’ultime fermeture qui l’accomplit et lui donne un sens.” (JMG Le Clézio, L’Extase matérielle 257-258) v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While working on my dissertation, numerous scholars, friends and family have supported and inspired me, and I am grateful to be able to express my gratitude. Firstly, I wish to thank Dominique Fisher, my dissertation director, who has worked closely with me through the years as I have written and edited these chapters. Secondly, my thanks go out to my each of my committee members but in particular, I thank Bruno Thibault and Yolande Helm for their long-distance guidance and support. In addition, my gratitude goes out to Enio Rao, Hannelore Jarausch, Jessica Tanner and Martine Antle, my UNC mentors, who supported my academic and teaching endeavors. To my mentors at L’Association des lecteurs de JMG Le Clézio, I would like to thank you for the solidarity that you shared with me: it has been an inspiration during my research. I particularly want to thank Jean-Marie Le Clézio for his work that has inspired my dissertation and my faith in humanity. Jean-Marie and Jemia, thank you for for being who you are and for generosity and friendship. Sarojini and Issa Asgarally: thank you for your academic insights, for living Interculturality and for your unforgettable hospitality. Above all, I want to thank my family and friends for their priceless and undying support. À ma chère amie, Véronique: ton amitié est un des plus beaux cadeaux que je puisse avoir. To my brother Joseph, thank you for believing in my potential and fathering me when I needed you most. Isa and Robert, your laughter, support and love of learning have kept my vi feet on the ground. To Jazz, my grand sage, what would I have done without your wise, loving gaze as you stood faithfully by my side through the years? Sweet Samba and Miles: thank you for your patience, craziness and Springer love: je vous adore! And finally, Koen: your love and undying support has given me the strength to believe in myself when I was too tired to try. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS ....................................................................... xi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................................. xii CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................ 1 Hybridity ..................................................................................................................... 11 Hybridity and Francophone Literature ........................................................................ 12 Hybridity in French and Francophone Literary Studies ............................................. 18 Hybridity: Transgeneric Relations and Le Clézio ...................................................... 23 Hybridity: Relations of Transcultural Histories and Le Clézio .................................. 27 Hybridity: Toward an Engaged Reader Response ...................................................... 37 CHAPTER TWO RELATIONS OF HYBRIDITY IN RÉVOLUTIONS ............................... 42 Relations across Genres The “Novel” and a Hybrid Narrative Structure .................. 47 Relations of Histories and Cultures Across Genres: Mauritius, France and the Distant Algerian war, Jean Eudes, Catherine and Jean Marro ....................................................................... 53 viii Relations of Histories and Cultures Across Genres: France, England, Mauritius and Mexico, Jean Marro, Jean Eudes, Kiambé and Nezahualcoyotl ............................................... 59 Relations of Histories and Cultures Across Genres: Mauritius and France, Jean and Catherine Marro, Kiambé, Marie Anne Naour ............................................ 66 Relation and Engaging Reflection: The Interconnectedness of Histories and Cultures ...................................................... 74 CHAPTER THREE RELATIONS OF HYBRIDITY IN CŒUR BRÛLE ET AUTRES ROMANCES ....................................................................... 79 Relations across Genres : The Short Story and the Collection ................................... 83 The Collection’s Frame: Visual Writing, Cultural Crossings and the Arabesque in “Cœur brûle” ................... 92 Orality, Translation, and Metamorphosis in “Chercher L’Aventure” ........................................................................................... 94 Fictionalized realism: Reading Memories of Aging in “Hôtel de la Solitude” ............................................ 100 Fragments of daily life in the United States, Mexico, and Mauritius “Trois Aventurières” ................................................................................................. 102 Metaphysical Language, Tragedy and the Spectator “Kalima” ................................................................................................................... 105 Relation and Engaging Reflection: Modern Tragedy ............................................... 118 CHAPTER FOUR RELATIONS OF HYBRIDITY IN LE MUSÉE MONDE .................... 120 Le Clézio and the Arts: Literary Expressions ........................................................... 129 ix The Louvre: A History of Defining and Propagating Culture .................................. 137 The Rise of Scientific Authority and Cultural Elitism .............................................. 141 Cabinets of Curiosity and Ethnography Museums ................................................... 142 Surrealism and Primitivism ....................................................................................... 146 The Grand Louvre ..................................................................................................... 149 The Quai Branly Museum: Eliminating or Reiterating Cultural Hierarchies? ..................................................... 151 Visitor Mediation and Interpretation ........................................................................ 155 Relations of Hybridity: Le Musée monde ................................................................. 157 Toward a Hybrid Museology Relations Across Heritages of Art and Science

  • Le Clézio Et L'émigration : Le Tragique Du Réel
    Voix plurielles 8.2 (2011) 116 LE CLEZIO ET L’EMIGRATION : LE TRAGIQUE DU REEL Bernadette REY MIMOSO-RUIZ, Institut catholique de Toulouse Dans mon village, les vieux nous avaient maintes fois raconté la mer, et de mille façons différentes Mahi Binebine. Cannibales. Le 6 décembre 2008, Le Clézio reçoit le prix Nobel de littérature. Le discours qu’il prononce, sous l’égide de « La forêt des paradoxes » de Stig Dagerman, réfléchit à la place de l’écrivain dans la société. : « C’est la pensée pessimiste de Dagerman qui m’envahit plutôt que le constat militant de Gramsci ou le pari désabusé de Sartre. […] Alors pourquoi écrire ? L’écrivain, depuis quelque temps déjà, n’a plus l’outrecuidance de croire qu’il va changer le monde, qu’il va accoucher par ses nouvelles et ses romans un modèle de vie meilleur. Plus simplement, il se veut témoin »1. L’illusion du charisme réformateur de l’écrivain s’efface au profit de la nécessité d’une prise de parole invitant à une réflexion dans laquelle le rapport au réel s’est depuis longtemps imposé à l‘auteur : « Tout ce qui en va pas dans le sens de l’adhésion au réel n’est que remâchonnement des théories usées, abstractions, décollement »2. Sans militer dans un cadre politique, Le Clézio, même s’il ne se réclame directement pas d’un néoréalisme3 militant, prend fait et cause pour les démunis et les oubliés de l’Histoire, dont il saisit la détresse et auxquels il prête sa voix. Toutefois, il note combien sa démarche revêt un caractère dérisoire, car, ceux au nom desquels il écrit sont précisément ceux qui ne le liront jamais.

  • JMG Le Clézio Ou Une Structure Narrative Atomisée
    Anales de Filología Francesa, n.º 13, 2004-2005 ESTRELLA GREGORI ALGARRA JMG Le Clézio ou une structure narrative atomisée ESTRELLA GREGORI ALGARRA IES Miguel Ballesteros de Utiel L´écriture chez Le Clézio peut devenir dissertation philosophique dans l´ Extase ma- térielle, roman dans Désert, conte dans Voyage au pays des arbres, nouvelle dans La Fièvre, recueil de devinettes dans Sirandanes, journal dans Pawana ou document historique dans Gens des nuages. L´analyse du discours narratif leclézien est un sujet diffi cile à cerner. On dirait qu´il fuit tout classement et qu’il n´a pas du tout confi ance aux genres littéraires. Alors quand nous nous trouvons face à un texte leclézien, nous nous posons toujours la même question: S´agit-il de roman, de conte ou de nouvelle? Notre auteur semble toucher un peu à toutes les structures narratives, comme abeille qui va de fl eur en fl eur, mais il ne reste pas souvent sur une seule fl eur, sauf peut-être la nouvelle. Sera-t-elle la reine de la ruche? Qu’est-ce qui fait qu´on affi che l´étiquette de “nouvelle”, “conte” ou “roman” à un texte quelconque? Voilà une tâche que la critique littéraire a subi et c´est à elle que je vais m´adresser d´abord et ensuite à l´auteur même car Le Clézio parle dans ces préfaces de ce qu´il veut transmettre au lecteur (prologue de La Fièvre) La critique littéraire défi nit les genres littéraires d´après deux grands domaines: 1 Le domaine thématique ou le contenu du texte, le sujet ou l´intrigue dans un temps et un espace.

  • The Nobel Prize in Literature 2008
    The Permanent Secretary Press Release 9 October 2008 The Nobel Prize in Literature 2008 Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2008 is awarded to the French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio “author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization”. Biobibliographical notes Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio was born on April 13, 1940, in Nice, but both parents had strong family connections with the former French colony, Mauritius (conquered by the British in 1810). At the age of eight, Le Clézio and his family moved to Nigeria, where the father had been stationed as a doctor during the Second World War. During the month-long voyage to Nigeria, he began his literary career with two books, Un long voyage and Oradi noir, which even contained a list of “forthcoming books.” He grew up with two languages, French and English. In 1950 the family returned to Nice. After completing his secondary education, he studied English at Bristol University in 1958-59 and completed his undergraduate degree in Nice (Institut d’Études Littéraires) in 1963. He took a master’s degree at the University of Aix-en-Provence in 1964 and wrote a doctoral thesis on Mexico’s early history at the University of Perpignan in 1983. He has taught at universities in Bangkok, Mexico City, Boston, Austin and Albuquerque among other places. Le Clézio received much attention with his first novel, Le procès-verbal (1963; The Interrogation, 1964). As a young writer in the aftermath of existentialism and the nouveau roman, he was a conjurer who tried to lift words above the degenerate state of everyday speech and to restore to them the power to invoke an essential reality.

    Remembering the Island: Insularity and Memory in the Contemporary Mauritian Novel in French Ailbhe O’Flaherty BA, MA Supervisors: Dr Michael G Kelly Dr Patricia O’Flaherty Thesis submitted to the University of Limerick to fulfil the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Submitted to the University of Limerick November 2016 i ii ABSTRACT Ailbhe O’Flaherty Remembering the Island: Insularity and Memory in the Contemporary Mauritian Novel in French Since 1979 there has been a marked increase in literary production from Mauritius, primarily in French, and Mauritian authors have been gaining in popularity amongst a French-speaking readership. Yet, within the context of postcolonial literatures or francophone studies, little attention has been paid to fiction from the islands of the Indian Ocean until very recently. This thesis therefore presents a valuable study of novelists writing in the French language from the culturally and linguistically diverse island of Mauritius. It considers the impact representations of insularity and memory have had on contemporary Mauritian writing in French and the role of recent fiction in creating a sense of heterogeneous Mauritian island identity in literature. The chosen corpus is deliberately broad, comprising work by eight authors (Appanah, Berthelot, De Souza, Devi, Humbert, Le Clézio, Patel, Pyamootoo) thereby allowing for a comprehensive and holistic overview of contemporary fiction from Mauritius. Interviews were conducted with four of the novelists. The contemporary authors studied draw on the island, and memory of the island, as narrative strategies and themes and draw together the different strands of Mauritian society in order to facilitate the reconstruction and validation of a multifarious Mauritian identity in literature.
