'Un soir, ils allerent au theatre...' Scenes de theatre dans les romans francais et canadiens-francais (1871--1949).

摘要

The theater scene, key element of several novels yet unexplored, questions the bounds between the medium and the oeuvre within. Supported by a corpus made of French and French Canadian novels published between 1871 and 1949, this work argues the recurrent specificities of the theater scene, whatever the time, the aesthetics or the place from which the novelist writes. Becoming a privileged topos for the text that operates " a return on itself ", the questions of reflexivity and specularity enlighten what theater can do to the text. From a sociocritic reading articulating social and art matters, our study on the theater scene covers not only the dramatic art's aspect but also the theater aspect thought as a social classification tool. The costume, the body of the artist, the lights, but also the theatrical spaces, the category of public and the society life happening in the theater hall are, if anything else, some facets our work would like to point out. The prism of the theater scene once revealed goes beyond the interiority of art and the exteriority of the social behavior through and thanks to the body. Between what Andre Belleau calls the " code " and the " parole (speech)", the theater scene embodies both aspects, links them both tight and goes past them thanks to the bodies that are both eroticized and socialized.
