Roberto Saviano : la représentation des pouvoirs criminels mafieux et le conflit entre justice et littérature
No full textLes hors-la-loi, ainsi que les aspects exceptionnels et obscurs de leurs vies, sont, le plus souvent, l’apanage des romans policiers ou noirs ainsi que celui de la presse. En revanche les délits à caractère mafieux semblent faire exception puisque nous les retrouvons dans une littérature définie par Vincenzo Consolo comme « ambiguë ». Au début des années deux-mille en Italie ce panorama se complique et Roberto Saviano, avec la publication, en 2006, de Gomorra – ouvrage décrivant les dynamiques de pouvoir de la camorra, la mafia napolitaine – bouleverse le paysage littéraire italien. Nous étudierons quelle représentation de la camorra donne cet écrivain pour en mettre en évidence le discours original et complexe et pour analyser les implications très fortes de la réception de son écriture. Ceci nous amènera ensuite à réfléchir sur le conflit entre loi juridique et loi littéraire qui semble caractériser de manière inédite la production littéraire contemporaine.Outlaws’exceptional and obscure lives are, most often, related to detective stories or noir fiction novels as well as newspapers. Mafia crimes seem to be an exception since we find them in a literature that Vincenzo Consolo has defined as “ambiguous”. At the beginning of the 21st century in Italy this overall picture seems to become more complicated and in 2006 Roberto Saviano upsets the Italian literary panorama with Gomorrah – a book that describes the power dynamics of the camorra, the Neapolitan mafia. We will study how this author represents the camorra in order to highlight his original and complex discourse and in order to analyze the very strong implications of the reception of his writing. This will then lead us to focus on the conflict between legal law and literary law that seems to characterize in a new way the contemporary novel production.I fuorilegge, così come gli aspetti eccezionali e oscuri delle loro vite, sono generalmente al centro di romanzi gialli o neri oltre che della stampa. I crimini a carattere mafioso sembrano costituire un’eccezione poiché li ritroviamo in una letteratura ‘‘ambigua’’ secondo una definizione di Vincenzo Consolo. All’inizio degli anni duemila in Italia questo panorama sembra complicarsi e Roberto Saviano con la pubblicazione nel 2006 di Gomorra – libro che racconta le dinamiche di potere della camorra, la mafia originariamente legata al territorio napoletano – sconvolge il paesaggio letterario italiano. Studieremo come questo autore rappresenta la camorra per metterne in luce il discorso originale e complesso e per analizzare le implicazioni della ricezione della sua scrittura. Ciò ci condurrà a riflettere sul conflitto tra legge in senso legale e legge in senso letterario che sembra caratterizzare in modo inedito la produzione letteraria contemporanea
Tra (mis)fatto e finzione. Gomorra di Roberto Saviano nel contesto culturale italiano contemporaneo
No full textCette thèse se propose d’étudier la genèse et les transformations qu’a subies le premier ouvrage écrit par Roberto Saviano, Gomorra. Dans l’empire de la camorra, jusqu’à devenir un univers narratif non-fictionnel. Pour appréhender des narrations transversales nous faisons appel à une narratologie élargie ainsi qu’à un examen de la catégorie de la non-fiction et de ses enjeux face à un objet clivant, le crime organisé. Dans un premier temps nous reconstruisons l’hypotexte de Gomorra. La reconstitution de l’ensemble des récits et articles publiés par Saviano avant la parution de cet ouvrage fait émerger une riche production allant de fin 2001 à 2006. Elle revêt un rôle central pour l’écriture de Gomorra et permet de saisir, à travers l’étude des variances textuelles, une idée d’engagement renouvelée. Nous analysons alors Gomorra en montrant l’utilité de distinguer fiction, non-fiction et narration factuelle pour mieux saisir le rôle, politique, joué par l’imagination dans le récit de Saviano. Puis, nous étudions ses expansions textuelles et médiatiques en mettant en évidence les nouvelles formes de réceptions que l’écrivain contribue à créer ainsi que leurs limites. Ces analyses sont toujours introduites par une observation du contexte dans lequel les différents artefacts – ouvrages, pièces de théâtre et film – paraissent afin de comprendre quel est l’apport de Saviano dans la narration de la criminalité organisée. L’univers Gomorra paraît alors comme une clé de voûte essentielle dans la production culturelle remettant en question les catégories de genre narratif, d’auteur et de transmédialité.This PhD thesis analyzes the genesis and the transformations undergone by the first work published by Roberto Saviano, Gomorrah, until it becomes a non-fictional narrative world. We examine the category of non-fiction in the face of a divisive object such as organized crime and, in order to apprehend transversal narrative forms, we adopt an extended narratological approach. First, we reconstruct the hypotext of Gomorrah throughout all the short stories and articles we found published by Saviano before his first work. That brings out a rich production, going from the end of 2001 to 2006, that plays a central role in the writing of Gomorrah. The study of textual variants shows the elaboration of a writing based on a renewed idea of commitment. We then analyze Gomorrah, showing the usefulness of distinguishing between factual, fictional, and non-fictional narration for a better understanding of the political role played by the imagination in Saviano's story. Finally, we focus on Gomorrah’s textual and media expansions by highlighting the new forms of receptions that the writer contributes to create, as well as their limits. These studies are always introduced by an observation of the context in which the various artefacts – books, plays and films – were created for the purpose of enlightening what the contribution of Saviano to the narration of organized crime is. The Gomorrah world then appears as a major keystone of cultural production questioning the categories of genre, author, and transmedia storytelling

Integración de la auditoría ambiental y la responsabilidad social empresarial en el Perú: Estudio de enfoque mixto
No full textThe research consists of analyzing the level of integration between environmental auditing and corporate social responsibility in the Junín Region, Peru. The approach used combines quantitative and qualitative elements of an applied type. In the quantitative aspect, a correlational level is adopted, while in the qualitative aspect, a descriptive methodology is chosen. The data collection was carried out through surveys directed to a sample selected by opportunity (121) Member Accountants, and through interviews to (12) Auditors, allowing the application of the DITRIAC triangulation. This holistic approach contributed to improve the reliability and robustness of the research. The quantitative findings reveal a positive integration between both variables (0.598) with a p-value of ,000, significant at a confidence level of 0.05. Likewise, a significant integration was observed between the systemic dimension (0.252), business efficiency (0.481), strategic foresight (0.520) and protective role (0.568) of environmental auditing, all with p-values less than 0.05, with corporate social responsibility (CSR). In agreement with the qualitative observations, the hypothesis proposed by the author is ratified. It is concluded that the improvement of environmental auditing practices leads to an increase in CSR, thus configuring a positive integration between environmental auditing and corporate social responsibility (CSR).A investigação consiste em analisar o nível de integração entre a auditoria ambiental e a responsabilidade social das empresas na região de Junín, no Peru. A abordagem utilizada combina elementos quantitativos e qualitativos de tipo aplicado. No aspeto quantitativo, é adotado um nível correlacional, enquanto no aspeto qualitativo se opta por uma metodologia descritiva. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de inquéritos dirigidos a uma amostra selecionada por oportunidade (121) Contabilistas Membros, e através de entrevistas a (12) Auditores, permitindo a aplicação da triangulação DITRIAC. Esta abordagem holística contribuiu para melhorar a fiabilidade e a robustez da investigação. Os resultados quantitativos revelam uma integração positiva entre as duas variáveis (0,598) com um p-value de ,000, significativo a um nível de confiança de 0,05. Do mesmo modo, foi observada uma integração significativa entre a dimensão sistémica (0,252), a eficiência empresarial (0,481), a previsão estratégica (0,520) e o papel protetor (0,568) da auditoria ambiental, todos com valores de p inferiores a 0,05, com a responsabilidade social das empresas (RSE). Em concordância com as observações qualitativas, ratifica-se a hipótese proposta pelo autor. Conclui-se que a melhoria das práticas de auditoria ambiental leva a um aumento da RSE, criando assim uma integração positiva.La investigación consiste en analizar el nivel de integración existente entre la auditoría ambiental y la responsabilidad social empresarial en la Región Junín, Perú.
