Phenomenology in the works of Robbe-Grillet
No full textThis thesis contends that a return to a phenomenological
analysis of Alain Robbe-Grillet's film and fiction is a relevant and useful undertaking at the start of the twenty
first century, providing the opportunity to reassess Robbe-Grillet's entire oeuvre, both films and novels. It addresses the limitations of earlier phenomenological studies, analysing works not yet subjected to phenomenological analysis, and exploring important
themes into which phenomenology can provide original insights, especially since the development of new phenomenological critical theories.
The structure of this thesis demonstrates the coherence of a phenomenological approach across the works of Robbe-Grillet. The introduction contextualises the
contribution of the thesis, indicating oversights to be rectified in existing studies. The first chapter charts
the development of phenomenology highlighting areas of relevance to the insights outlined in the thesis. Chapter two demonstrates that both the phenomenological reduction, and Robbe-Grillet's formal strategies of challenging
cultural expectations, result in a "making strange" of perceptual experience, with repercussions for the subversion of conventional fictional and filmic narratives.
Subsequent chapters explore further consequences of the reduction, beginning in chapter three with the embodiment
of consciousness which impacts upon the presentation of
narrative perspective in Robbe-Grillet's film and fiction. The fourth chapter examines Robbe-Grillet's rendering of a lived experience of time, rather than an objective
measurement of it, thus analysing another consequence of embodied existence and of the "making strange" that results from undermining cultural expectations. Another mode of
bodily existence, sexuality, was neglected in previous
phenomenological studies, and is examined in the fifth chapter, in the light of feminist readings of phenomenology making a new contribution in its reassessment of the debates around cultural stereotypes and subversion. Chapter six examines the complex relations surrounding intersubjectivity, another area not previously addressed, and elucidates the problematics of Robbe-Grilletian inter-human relationships,
The thesis concludes that earlier phenomenological studies
have not fully worked through all of the implications of the phenomenological reduction in Robbe-Grillet's
works in terms of cultural subversion, nor have they accounted fully for the interdependency of various modes
of human embodiment( perception, situation in space
and time, sexuality and intersubjectivity) as they are enacted in Robbe-Grillet's narratives
L’INVISIBLE ET LE VISIBLE SELON ALAIN ROBBE-GRILLET (The Invisible and the Visible in the Work of Alain Robbe–Grillet)
No full textThe present text is an attempt to re-read Robbe-Grillet’s Jealousy in the perspective of what modern psychology calls “the theory of mind”. The author attempts to show that Robbe-Grillet’s literary procedure consists, at least in part, in presenting the characters as deprived of inner mental states, thus approaching the theory of “mindblindness”, presented in a different context, by the psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen
La capitale morale e il regime immorale : la Rsi a Milano attraverso le pagine di Repubblica fascista
No full textPoétique de la reconstruction : espace, objet et identité chez Alain Robbe-Grillet
No full textRésumé: Nous essaierons d’analyser la représentation de l’espace et des objets chez Alain Robbe-Grillet dans le cadre d’une problématique sur l’identité. Si le nouveau romancier rompt avec les modalités traditionnelles de représentation de l’univers romanesque, c’est qu’il joue sans cesse avec les signes qui permettent de déterminer l’identité des éléments du décor. Nous exposerons ainsi quelques tensions dialectiques par lesquelles l’auteur perçoit et conçoit l’espace et ses objets, afin de montrer que ses procédés relèvent d’une poétique de la reconstruction. Mots-clés: Alain Robbe-Grillet; poétique; espace; objet; identité.Abstract: We will try to analyze the space’s and the object’s representation in Alain Robbe-Grillet’s works as part of a problem about the identity. If the nouveau romancier breaks with the traditional representation forms of the novel’s universe, it’s because he plays constantly with the signs that enable to determine the identity of the décor’s elements. Thus, we will expose some dialectical tensions by which the author perceive and conceive the space and its objects, in order to show that his techniques constitute a poetics of the reconstruction. Keywords: Alain Robbe-Grillet; poetics; space; object; identity.</p
Afekt a exteriorita: Robbe-Grilletova sartrovská inspirace || Affect and Exteriority: Sartrian Inspiration of Alain Robbe-Grillet
No full textIn the present text, the author focuses on Sartre’s influence on the work of Alain Robbe-Grillet. Sartre’s text that seems to have represented a major source of inspiration for Robbe-Grillet’s writing is
a short 1939 essay entitled „Intentionality: A Fundamental Idea of Husserl’s Phenomenology“, where
Sartre refuses the idea of knowledge as an absorption of objects in subject’s interiority. In the second
part of the present paper, the author offers a close reading of Robbe-Grillet’s Jealousy to support this
view, concentrating in particular on the problem of affectivit
OS DISCURSOS DE ROBBE-GRILLET
No full textEste trabalho pretende, partindo da Análise do Discurso (FIORIN, 1999), refletir acerca de metamorfoses na poética de Alain Robbe-Grillet, autor célebre por sua participação no Nouveau Roman. Discutiremos sua vinculação ao ideário escritural moderno e autotélico, ainda que o conjunto da obra permita vislumbrar um adensamento crescente da referencialidade. Palavras-chave: Robbe-Grillet; discurso. Literatura francesa.

We analyse his vinculations with the modern writing and her auto-reference, in spite of the entirety of his work, which permits an understending of a growing referenciality. Key words: Robbe-Grillet.

GLI STATI UNITI E LA DESTRA ITALIANA NEGLI ANNI CINQUANTA
No full textThe context of the Fifties is essential to focus on the construction of democracy in Italy and the process of legitimation of the right, which takes place in those years. The relationship with the United States is central to understand the delicate balance between democracy, anti-communism and anti-fascism.
Among the issues raised, three are the main ones. First of all, we cannot consider the United States and right as monolithic blocks. Inside there are a number of differences in cultural background and political strategy in the fight against communism. In particular, there have been conflicts between Embassy and State Department: Clare Boothe Luce was very critical of the DC and, while agreeing with the criticism of the Right, never gave any support to MSI, PNM and other movements on the right. The anti-communism, therefore, has never prevailed over the anti-fascism. Likewise, the political right was very different from the "impolitical", deeply rooted in society and nostalgic of the past regime.
The second point is the substantial mutual misunderstanding between Americans and the Right. The idea that the Embassy had, in addition to non-democratic nature of MSI, was that you could create a democratic right from the monarchists. The project, however, was rejected because Covelli and Lauro feared losing their electorate. They confirmed, in this way, the choice of non-democratic. On the other hand, the monarchists, neo-fascists, the cultural right (Montanelli, for example) and some rightist businessmen had a wrong idea about U.S. According to them, anti-communism had to prevail over democracy, but the various extremist proposals were consistently declined.
In the background - third and last point - there is a country considered structurally undemocratic. Underlying this belief is certainly the weight of the fascist period, that still had a certain importance in the Fifties. But there are also many rather deep-seated prejudices about Italy and the "Latin countries" in general
