Redefining the Self: Life Writing, Fairy Tale and Fantasy Fiction in Amélie Nothomb's Métaphysique des tubes.
No full textThis thesis primarily focuses on Amélie Nothomb’s Métaphysique des tubes (2000), an autobiographical rewriting of her earliest childhood in Japan. However, elements of other her novels are considered where relevant, in particular Le Sabotage amoureux (1993) and Biographie de la faim (2004). The work begins by analysing the literary genres of autobiography, ‘autofiction’ and the autobiographical novel, examining the blurred boundaries between these. I compare how various scholars, including but not limited to Laureline Amanieux, Mark Lee and Susan Bainbrigge, come to classify Nothomb’s Métaphysique des tubes as belonging to one of these above genres, before discussing why the novel evades a single definitive literary classification. Nothomb’s fractured sense of self, studied at length throughout this thesis, is mirrored into the foundational structure of the novel, as Nothomb combines fragments of each genre, mixing in fairy tale and fantasy fiction to secure her own idiosyncratic literary style. I proceed in the second chapter to compare Nothomb’s work with Beaumont’s version of La Belle et la Bête, highlighting echoes between characters in both tales and introducing the significant Nothombian themes of hyperbolic beauty, the presentation of the Beast in all its guised forms, as well as the central role of water. I also examine psychological devices of the fairy tale as explained by Bruno Bettelheim and Adam Phillips, how these aid childhood development, and potential reasons for their inclusion in Nothomb’s writing. In the third chapter I undertake a short comparative study of Métaphysique des tubes and Barrie’s Peter Pan to reveal that what appears to be an idyllic childhood is in fact tainted by loss and mourning. The lexis of adventure fuses with destruction as it becomes apparent that both Pan and Nothomb as protagonist have paradoxically lost their true childhood by attempting to remain eternally in it. In relation to this, I look at the salvational role of storytelling in both novels, and provide evidence to suggest that Nothomb as both author and protagonist come to find, understand and stabilise their identity through reading and writing literature. The conclusion begins by asking whether there are additional literary genres into which scholars have placed Nothomb’s autobiographical works, leading me to analyse briefly the possibility of postmodernist and feminist writing in relation to her work. Nothomb does not merely rediscover and redefine herself through literature, but she also questions modern society’s standards concerning physical appearance. Previously studied themes of hyperbolic beauty, ugliness and eating disorders come back into play when I re-examine these themes in connection with Nothomb’s challenging of the contemporary ideals of beauty. At this stage I consider similarities in Angela Carter’s postmodernist approach to literature and its significance to and similarities with Nothomb’s work. Furthermore, I provide additional examples of these themes relating to beauty by turning to Nothomb’s newer novel, Une forme de vie (2010), which grapples with obesity, depression and suicidal ideation, all of which appear, to varying degrees, in Métaphysique des tubes. My thesis intends to show that Nothomb intentionally writes Métaphysique des tubes so that it defies one clear-cut classification. Her work grows in richness and depth precisely through her playful de- and reconstruction of various literary genres, sub-genres and movements, as well as pastiching of fragments of fairy tales and fantasy fiction. Métaphysique des tubes becomes at once beautiful and beastly as she creatively redefines her own identity and successfully questions contemporary society and culture in a novel that all the while refuses to be tamed

Amélie Nothomb’un romanlarında kimlik sorunsalı
No full textÖZET “Fransızca edebiyatın aykırı çocuğu” diye adlandırılan Belçika asıllı Amélie Nothomb, ilk romanı Katilin Temizliği’nin 1992’de yayınlanmasının ardından büyük bir başarı yakalar. Gerek kurgusal gerekse özyaşamöyküsel yapıtlarında herşeyden, ama özellikle kendinden bahseder. Kendini karakterleriyle o denli özdeşleştirir, tıpkı Flaubert gibi, “Pétextat Tach, o benim” açıklamasını yapar: ilk romanının baş kişisi. Bu çalışmanın başlıca amacı, kimlik sorununu, Nothomb’un kurgusal yapıtlarında değil de, kendisini temel alarak yazdığı, yani sırasıyla Le Sabotage amoureux, Stupeur et tremblements, Métaphysique des Tubes, Açlığın Biyografisi ve Ne Âdem Ne Havva gibi özyaşamöyküsel yapıtlarında incelemektir. Söz konusu özyaşamöyküsel yapıtlar sadece Nothomb’un kimliğini ortaya koymakla kalmaz, ayrıca okur için mutluluklarla olduğu kadar hüzünlerle de zenginleştirilmiş etkileyici bir okuma zemini oluştururlar. Kendini Boru Tanrı olarak gördüğü Japonya’da, bir çocuk olmanın verdiği tümlük duygusunun bilincinde olduğu çocukluk yıllarından söz eder. Dünyanın dört bir yanında – Çin, ABD, Laos, Bangladeş, Birmanya ve son olarak kendi ülkesi Belçika’da - yaşadığı sürgün günlerini anlatır. Bu yapıtların incelenmesi yoluyla amaçlanan, Amélie Nothomb’un – çocuk, küçük kız, kendi bedeni içinde mutsuz ergen ve nihayet yazar olarak – okuruna, kendi hayatının farklı evrelerinin ekseninde oluşturduğu kimliğini nasıl sunduğunu ortaya çıkarmak ve anlamaktır. Bu amaçla yazarın beş özyaşamöyküsel yapıtındaki kimlik sorunu, çeşitli sosyal bilimler kuramlarının ve yazarın yapıtları üzerine yapılmış daha önceki çalışmaların ışığında ele alınacaktır.Ulusoy, Ömer, The question of identity in the novels of Amélie Nothomb, Master’s Thesis, Advisor: Prof. Dr. Nedim Kula, 177 p. ABSTRACT “L’enfant terrible of literature in French” Amélie Nothomb, of Belgian origin, became a success after the publication of her first novel The Hygien of the Assassin in 1992. She talks about everything but especially about herself both in her fictional works and in the autobiographical ones. She identifies herself with her characters to such an extent that she declares, just like Flaubert did, “Pétextat Tach, that’s me”: the main character of her first novel. The main objective of the present study is to analyse the question of identity, not in her fictional works but in those which she based on herself, that is to say, her autobiographical ones such as Loving Sabotage, Fear and Trembling, The Character of the Rain, The Life of the Hunger and Tokyo Fiancée, respectively. These autobiographical works not only reveal her identity but also constitute a fascinating ground for reading, rich in happiness as well as in sorrow. She speaks of her chilhood years when she feels herself as the Tube God, knows the plenitude of being a child in Japan, as well as of her first exiles to the four corners of the world: to China, USA, Laos, Bengladesh, Birmania and finally to Belgium, her own country. Through the analysis of these works, the aim is to extricate and understand how Amélie Nothomb – child, little girl, adolescent uncomfortable in her body, adult and finally author – presents to her reader the different stages of her own life around which she has constructed her own identity. To this end the question of identity in the five autobiographical works of the author will be studied with reference to various theories of social sciences and to the previous studies based on her works
Funghi parigini di Amélie Nothomb

Si vuole mostrare come il testo sia prova di un certo engagement dell’autrice e come la poetica di Nothomb si sia mantenuta intatta anche in una forma diversa da quella del romanzo e che anzi, alcuni aspetti, come l’ironia, ne risultino esaltati
Mirrors in the Text: Amélie Nothomb’s Mercure
No full textIn Belgian author Amélie Nothomb’s 1998 novel Mercure , the multitudes of physical, figurative, and narrative mirrors invite a reflexive reading of the text. While numerous critics have focused on the intertextuality in Mercure —its most obvious manifestation of reflexivity—the novel’s intratextuality has not been analyzed as extensively, and none of these manifestations has been analyzed specifically as an instance of narrative reflexivity. Guided by the theme of mirrors and mirroring, the purpose of this article is to recast in terms of narrative reflexivity some of the extant critical analysis of Mercure , to uncover other as yet unexplored realizations of reflexivity, and to bring them together in a cogent system
