Identifier	Thesis 1672
Author	Ahern, Jacquelyn J.
Title	Le voyage de J.M.G. Le Clézio en soi et dans le monde : une traversée de métamorphoses textuelles
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2002
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	It is undeniable that conflict and change are a part or life. This often produces confusion or disillusionment, which can be difficult for adolescents. The author's perception of some of the challenges which contemporary youth face may be a motivating factor in many of his writings. These challenges include an alienation from nature, consumerism, and dissatisfaction with personal identity that denies intrinsic worth. This study examines the life of J. M. G. Le Clézio and emphasizes events by which his own consciousness developed. His gradual awareness of his personal identity combined with the mastery of literary and poetic skills enabled him to present to his readers in a pleasurable manner the need for change. The study traces his steps by means of the characters and events in his novels, which are autobiographical in nature. Many biographical facts were obtained from a recent illustrated essay, and literary journals were a source to explore recurring themes, such as silence, desert, sea and sun, which correspond directly with Le Clézio's life and interests. Description of the author's sojourns in Nigeria, Mauritius, Panama and Mexico provided the important backdrop against which the author developed his own philosophy and world view. Additional literary and electronic sources interpreted the writer's works and discussed his evolving literary voice and style. Englightening conversations between the author and several journalists revealed important aspects of the author's personality and motivation so that the correspondance to his writings was easily recognized. In an earlier work, Extase Matérielle ( 1967 ), Le Clézio grappled with philosophical and existential issues. Somewhat radicalized, his new vision then appears in Voyages de l'Autre Côté, an episodic novel in an unconventionel form, and his revolutionary preference for mental evasion by means of imagination and dream contributes to his reputation as a post modern poet. The study begins by a brief investigation of the author's Breton ancestors, followed by a brief overview of his childhood in France during World War II. Early literary influences are reported, followed by a description of his voyage to Nigeria, a pivotal event in his life. This is followed by a presentation of the author's findings when he researched his ancestors on the island of Mauritius many years later. His discoveries become an integral part of his novel Le Chercheur d'or. The third chapter is a discussion of the stages of psychological development. It examines the process which leads to individuation and beyond it to the liberty of transcendance. Several characteres of Chercheur d'or and Voyages de l'autre côté exemplify these stages. Continued evolution of consciousness occurs as a result of journeys to Mexico and Panama, and the writer begins to assert his opposition to technology that harms the planet. Unjust societal practices that affect marginalized groups of people are questioned. Echos of this activist behavior appear in Le Chercher d'or. Four stories from the collection Mondo et autres histoires are analyzed. Each story concerns young searchers and dreamers whose individual rites of initiations bear a resemblance to the developmental trajectory of J. M. G. Le Clézio.
