Université De Montréal Peter Pan Contre Le Héros Victorien : La Université de Montréal Peter Pan contre le héros victorien : la poétique du recyclage dans le Cycle de Kraven de Xavier Mauméjean par Sabrina Riel Département des littératures de langue française Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté au Département des littératures de langue française en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maître ès Arts (M. A.) en littératures de langue française Août 2015 © Sabrina Riel, 2015 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Ce mémoire intitulé : Peter Pan contre le héros victorien : la poétique du recyclage dans le Cycle de Kraven de Xavier Mauméjean présenté par : Sabrina Riel a été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Michel Pierssens _________________________ président-rapporteur Jean-Philippe Beaulieu _________________________ Directeur de recherche Marcello Vitali Rosati _________________________ Membre du jury Résumé Le Cycle de Kraven de Xavier Mauméjean met en place un réseau référentiel qui repose sur le recyclage systématique d’éléments historiques et littéraires. Afin de bien saisir le fonctionnement de ce cycle narratif, il importe de se pencher sur cette dynamique référentielle exacerbée relevant d’une poétique du recyclage (au sens de réutilisation) qui se manifeste par l’emprunt de nombreux référents historiques et littéraires, que le récit modifie à divers degrés. Au moyen de la notion de recyclage, des travaux sur la récupération de l’Histoire par l’uchronie et d’études sur le steampunk, esthétique dont relève le Cycle de Kraven, ce mémoire examine les effets de ce recyclage sur le fonctionnement du récit, mais aussi sur le lecteur. En effet, par un imposant mélange de références authentiques et fictives, le Cycle de Kraven cherche à mystifier le lecteur qui se trouve au centre d’un fourmillement intertextuel brouillant les frontières entre Histoire et fiction. Une réflexion sur le paratexte vient compléter l’analyse du Cycle de Kraven, puisque préface, notes en bas de page, liste de livres et bon de commande contribuent grandement à la création d’un effet de mystification. Mots-clés : uchronie, steampunk, fantasy, science-fiction, recyclage, Xavier Mauméjean, paratexte. Abstract Cycle de Kraven, from French author Xavier Mauméjean, establishes a referential network based on a systematic recycling of historical and literary elements. In order to fully understand how this narrative cycle works, one needs to look into these exacerbated referential dynamics which depends on a poetics of recycling. This manifests itself through the borrowing of multiple historical and literary referents, modified at various levels throughout the story. Through the notion of recycling, works on the recovery of history through uchrony and studies on the steampunk genre – being Kraven's primary aesthetic – this dissertation looks into the effects this recycling has on the story's working, as well as on the reader himself. Indeed, through its impressive blending of genuine and fictional references, Cycle de Kraven bemuses the reader who finds himself or herself exploring a intertextual universe where history and fiction may hardly be differed from one another. A study on the paratext concludes this analysis of Cycle de Kraven since elements such as the preface, the footnotes and the purchase order form contribute to the befuddlement of readers.

L’Empire britannique doit faire face à une nouvelle menace : Peter Pan. À la suite d’un accident scientifique, les Êtres Imaginaires, issus des histoires de James Matthew Barrie, sont apparus dans les jardins de Kensington, en plein cœur de la ville. Le garçon qui ne voulait pas grandir a rapidement rejeté la société anglaise en s’alliant avec des savants fous et de dangereux criminels dans le seul but de semer le chaos. Pour contrer cette menace, le gouvernement britannique a créé la Ligue des héros, sous la direction de sir Baycroft. Cette Ligue, composée de « super agents » parmi lesquels on compte Lord Kraven surnommé le Sauveur de l’Empire, son assistant English Bob, Lord Africa (alias Tarzan) et le Maître des Détectives (alias Sherlock Holmes), combat les alliés de Peter Pan afin de rétablir la paix en Grande-Bretagne (qui traverse des périodes de crise avec la Première Guerre mondiale et la grève ouvrière de 1926), mais aussi à l’étranger. En effet, Peter Pan recrute ses alliés de plus en plus loin; la Ligue doit combattre en dehors de son territoire, en Chine, où les héros se retrouvent en plein cœur de la Révolte des Boxers, ainsi qu’en Russie post-révolutionnaire. Londres, 1969. Un vieil homme n’ayant aucun souvenir de son passé est amené chez sa fille dont il ignorait l’existence. La lecture de comics américains sera une révélation pour lui : tous ces méchants excentriques et ces aventures tumultueuses lui semblent étrangement familiers. C’est grâce à Captain America, auquel il se compare, que le vieillard se souvient qu’il est en fait Lord Kraven. Congelé comme son compatriote américain, il aurait perdu la mémoire à son réveil, des années plus tard. Que fait-il en 1969? Participe-t-il malgré lui à un complot gouvernemental, tel que celui concernant la (fausse) mort de Paul McCartney? Il l’ignore, mais il est prêt à tout pour le découvrir. Londres, date inconnue. La ville est envahie par des extra-terrestres venus d’un autre monde, apportant avec eux une maladie mortelle, la Consomption, qui a exterminé presque

In 2000 he created online stories about Boilerplate, a mechanical soldier at the turn of the previous century, that garnered international media coverage. Most recently, Paul collaborated with Anina on the unique illustrated historical/science fiction books Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel (expanding on his earlier short stories) and Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention .

Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel , ostensibly the biography of a 19th-century robot soldier, is an illustrated hardcover book that deftly blends historical fiction with science fiction. It dramatizes formative events at the dawn of the 20th century through tales of the robot and its inventor, Archibald Campion, who thinks his machine can “prevent the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations.” Boilerplate charges into combat alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, builds railroads in Africa, makes silent movies, and more, all while hobnobbing with the likes of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla.

The modern comic derives from what many term "the golden age," specifically with the introduction of Superman. The "man of steel" triggered a fascination with comic book heroes; heroes who took flawed forms in the 1960s. Today, the comic serves not only as a vehicle for super-heroes, but also as a channel for political thought, education, alternative culture, and critiques of society. Contemporary interest in the comic trade, spurred by conventions and independent distribution, fosters a creative environment in which new genres and edgy content drive the scene.
