Ars moriendi v delu Marguerite Yourcenar : doktorska disertacija
Osterman, Tina, 1982-
The present dissertation analyses the theme of ars moriendi in four novels written by Marguerite Yourcenar: Mémoirs d'Hadrien (1951), L'OEuvre au noir (1968), Anna, soror... (1981) and Un homme ...obscur (1982). All four novels share the common theme of death and of finding a way to cope with it - be it through intimate confession (Hadrien), alchemy (Zénon), incest (Anna and Miguel) or passive indifference towards life (Nathanaël). It is through the thematic structure of ars moriendi that Yourcenar is trying to find in each novel a unique form of dying under the characters' different perspectives. Ars moriendi, as the central theme of the dissertation, reveals the importance of approaching death as a way to decipher the world and the universe in which the characters live. Account is taken of the chronological as well as of the thematic perspective of Yourcenar's work, from her earliest to her final novel. This account-taking reveals the different phases that the author has gone through both in her writing as well as in the philosophical development of the central theme. The author's profound interest in history and classical themes is also analysed in order to emphasize the value and the universal aspect of her writings. The thematic and partly deconstructive method used in the dissertation is an apt methodological approach since it is closest to how Yourcenar refers to her own work. The deconstructive method is also a way to question the logocentric system of thinking. The opposites and antitheses of life and death, as well as of the individual and the universal, are analysed in each novel in order to highlight the relativity of all ontological models. The dissertation also aims to demonstrate the subversive elements that the characters (Hadrien, Zénon, Anna and Miguel, Nathanaël) possess in their individual ways of thinking and acting in the world. The subversiveness found in each novel has a highly deconstructive effect on the established ontological and metaphysical system canonised by Western culture and philosophy. The subversive rhetoric used by Yourcenar is often in the guise of a classical formal structure which often masks the difficulties of such themes as death, love, incest and anarchy. Her authority as a classical author bespeaks the apparent stability of traditional values which she then, step by step, deconstructs in her novels. This is Yourcenar's preferred way of questioning all of the well-established concepts, principles and ideas that have been shaped by Western metaphysical thought. The extremes between life and death reveal the hidden conflicts inherent in the authority and autonomy of a person. The dissertation strives to reach an overall perspective of Yourcenar's work by references to her other works which additionally illustrate the great vision of her complex creative and philosophical literary universe. The mystic component present throughout her novels is also taken into account and interpreted in the light of the ars moriendi theme. The ultimate aim of the analysis is to show how in the four novels and their context all five protagonists (Hadrien, Zénon, Anna and Miguel, Nathanaël) systematically undergo an ontological transformation that resembles that of a spiritual journey. The eschatological perspective of all five individuals is finally applied at the end when these characters face their death.
