    Catherine Hoffmann ESQUISSE D'une VISION FANTASTIQUE

    Catherine Hoffmann ESQUISSE D’UNE VISION FANTASTIQUE DANS A DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME D’ANTHONY POWELL La séquence romanesque A Dance to the Music of Time, généralement définie comme une vaste fresque de la société anglaise de 1914 aux années 1970, semble, à première vue, appartenir à la tradition du roman de mœurs et s’ins- crire dans la veine du réalisme comique. Or, la lecture de l’ensemble de l’œuvre révèle la présence de nombreux « ingrédients » fantastiques, indices de l’existence de forces obscures, difficilement cernables, agissant sous la sur- face de l’univers narratif. Certains personnages troubles — mages, voyants, pervers — appartiennent très manifestement à cette catégorie. Ils ne traverse- raient cependant le texte que de manière très anecdotique si leurs aventures ne se déroulaient dans un décor soigneusement mis en place par le regard du narrateur, Nicolas Jenkins. Le narrateur-personnage est d’abord, essentielle- ment, un descripteur dont la vision du monde et la relation qu’il en donne passent nécessairement par un réseau complexe de mémoire d’œuvres anté- rieures, réelles ou imaginaires. 1 Les descriptions que fait Jenkins des divers lieux de l’action ne sont donc pas de simples adjonctions au récit mais forment des éléments constitu- tifs d’un projet esthétique global dont les emprunts à l’univers fantastique sont l’un des aspects. J’étudierai ici cet univers, tel qu’il apparaît dans Dance, selon trois axes: premièrement la typologie des lieux et le lexique qui en caractérise l’évocation; deuxièmement, le phénomène des transpositions, déformations et transformations; et enfin l’élaboration d’une vision dynamique le long des lignes de la perspective et de la verticalité.

For more information contact [email protected] Configurations of Imperialism and their Displacements in the Novels of Joseph Conrad Miriam Marcus Queen Mary Westfield College Ph . D. 9 ABSTRACT This thesis examines certain configurations of imperialism and their displacements in the novels of Joseph Conrad beginning from the premise that imperialism is rationalised through a dualistic model of self/I*otherN and functions as a hierarchy of domination/subordination. In chapters one and two it argues that both Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim configure this model of imperialism as a split between Europe/not-Europe. The third and fourth chapters consider displacements of this model: onto a split within Europe and an act of Ninternalu imperialism in Under Western Eyes and onto unequal gender relations in the public and private spheres in Chance. Each chapter provides a reading of the selected novel in relation to one or more contemporary (or near contemporary) primary source and analyses these texts using various strands of cultural theory. Chapter one, on Heart of Darkness, investigates the historical background to British imperialism by focusing on the textual production of history in a variety of written forms which comprise the diary, travel writing, government report, fiction.

Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 27 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781472545015.ch-005>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 27 September 2021, 09:38 UTC.

Certainly, an unprecedented proportion of voters participated in general elections and belonged to the three main political parties at this time. These parties were moreover often rooted in local popular cultures. The Young Conservatives, for example, had in excess of 150,000 members, many of whom enjoyed a vibrant collective social life that encompassed sports of various kinds and even holidays to Spain.1 In spite of this most Britons’ relationship with Westminster politics was hardly intimate, certainly not before 1939 nor during the 1950s, and as the latter decade gave way to the 1960s and 1970s it became increasingly distant.2 Hitherto Labour and the Conservatives had found class a useful means of mobilizing support and while they continued to employ class-based appeals, the rising salience of other forms of identity meant they became less effective.3 The established working- and middle-class communities in which the parties had found a niche were being transformed and replaced by the self-conscious individualism of a new kind of suburbia.
