Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have bean used, the quality it heavily dependant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round Mack mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper le ft hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equaf"sections With a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

To agree with or to refute such criticism, one must explore the polyvalent components of "text” and "reading." Initially, let us explore the most basic definitions of these terms and their application to Sollers. On the •one hand, "text" is a succession of signs united within specified boundaries. In the case of Sollers, there are seven such texts which appeared from 1957 to 1 9 7 3» Le dgfi (1957). Une curieuse solitude (1958), Le pare (1961), Drame (1965). Nombres (1968), Lois (1972), and H (1973)* Each of these seven texts, traditionally understood to be creative fiction or narratives, is a closed entity in itself, differing considerably from its successor(s) and/or predecessor(s). Sollers him­ self has remarked that "chaque texte a sa propre logique et ces logiques sont d i f f e r e n t e s . W h i l e presenting the logical variations of the Sollers texts, we will also trace the development of a common consciousness which has produced and is producing these seven texts through three main stages» 1) 1957-1959* 2) 1960-19675 3) 1968-1973. These three stages demonstrate just what Sollers has identified as the movement of the"Tel Quel GroujJ' through the yearsi "Toute notre action peut ^ 2 se dSfinir par un changement d'axes de references." These changes of orientation proceed from Sollers within traditional narrative (1957-1959)» to Sollers the experi menter (1960-1967)1 to Sollers the revolutionary (1968-1973). On the other hand, let us postulate that reading is, in its most primitive sense, a confrontation of a text with an exterior consciousness. Traditionally in Western civilization, reading has also implied focus­ ing one's attention upon a written word, deriving meaning or meanings from what is inscribed, and appro­ priating a written message to one's consciousness. However, Joseph Bya, at the Colloque Cluny II in April 1970, has observed a problem in this Western conception of reading* "Nous savons que, s'il n'est pas de lecture totale, il n'est pas non plus de lecture innocente. Entre texte et lecture s'Slevent et se proflrent toutes sortes de paroles -- des mediations -- qu'il nous est impossible de tout 3. fait c o n g S d i e r . T h e s e mediations are often presented as privileged readings or interprets tions of a text for its readers. Philippe Sollers has given many such theories and critiques which provide insights into his creative texts. However, we will concern ourselves herein only with those of his theories that enable us to understand the dialectic of text and reading in his seven texts produced thus far. These mediations will become increasingly crucial from Le pare (1961) through his subsequent works. Reading the texts of Sollers in their chronological sequence through the three stages previously mentioned is not merely a simple task of consuming a text through reading. The "common consciousness," which will be developed within the seven texts of Sollers, is also a developing ideology about reading and epistemology. This common consciousness of the heterogeneous roles of those seven Sollers texts and their readings may offer us many in­ sights into our own abilities to "read" anything at all in this last quarter of the twentieth century.

Silverman Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies and Jewish Studies Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Thomas A. Hale Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of African, French, and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of French and Francophone Studies Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern European History Jennifer Boittin Assistant Professor of French, Francophone Studies and History and Josephine Berry Weiss Early Career Professor in the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Over the past several decades, the cultural phenomenon of the villages du livre has exploded throughout the Hexagon. Taking their cue from the original book town, Hay-on-Wye, in Wales, rural French communities once in danger of disappearing have reclaimed their economic future and their heritage. Founded in 1961, Hay-on-Wye has served as a model for other towns to establish a used book trade, organize literary festivals, and promote the practice of traditional book arts that include calligraphy, binding, paper-making, and printing. In the French villages du livre of Bécherel (Bretagne), Montolieu (Languedoc), Fontenoy-la-Joûte (Lorraine), Montmorillon (Poitou-Charentes), and La Charité-sur-Loire (Bourgogne), ancillary enterprises such as museums, bookstores, cafés, and small hotels now occupy buildings that had stood vacant for years.

Bernard Pivot, le journaliste littéraire, animateur, concepteur vedette d’émissions aussi célèbres qu’Apostrophes ou Bouillon de culture et aujourd’hui de Double Je les a rencontrés et leur a demandé de parler de leur expérience personnelle. Comment et pourquoi ont-ils appris le français ? Que pensent-ils de cette langue ? Quelles sont les relations entre leur langue maternelle et cette seconde langue, cette seconde personnalité ?

French novelists, meanwhile, have increasingly turned to first person narratives; autobiographies and especially autofictions continue to dominate current publication lists. Equally concerned with identity questions, these same texts have often been accused of solipsism, and their authors described as narcissists of little talent. In this dissertation, I argue that the debates surrounding national identity and the problematic construction of a written personal identity are, in fact, intimately related.

Accordingly, the depiction of real literary figures in visual media like photography or the cinema has become more and more frequent, leading writers to take part, more or less voluntarily, in modern celebrity culture. Through the study of visual artefacts created around French writers between the 1850s and the present, this project seeks to examine the role of visual culture in the fashioning of writers’ artistic and social identities. The writers considered, Charles Baudelaire, Colette, Romain Gary and, to a lesser extent, Frédéric Beigbeder, lived through times when the world of visual media was undergoing major changes due to the advent of new technologies, respectively, photography, cinema and television.
