The Elllipse in Expression: Merleau-Ponty's Literary Gap
Raymond-Barker, Susannah ; Mouze, Létitia (advisor) ; Coignard, Anne (referee)
In the early 1950s, Merleau-Ponty underwent a 'turn' towards a philosophy that was less interested in the transcendental subject and more interested in global ontological questions. By modifying postsaussurean theories of an invisible 'différence' that dynamises the operation of speech, Merleau-Ponty was able to do an analysis of the ideal-empirical entanglement of being. This masters thesis aims to analyse the links and the blind spots that dynamise the latent operativity of the flesh of the world and of the operative speech of literature which expresses it, as well as the aesthetic crises that these chiastic blind spots can provoke in the author. Key words: Merleau-Ponty, chiasm, writer.

Truth and alterity, their articulations in the Foucauldian analysis of the technics of the self
Charlebois, Philippe ; Sibertin-Blanc, Guillaume (advisor) ; Mouze, Létitia (referee) ; Buhlmann, Pierre (referee)
At the end of the manuscript of the last lesson of Courage of the truth, we can read this enigmatic declaration: "there is no establishment of the truth without an essential position of otherness; the truth is never the same; there can be truth only in the form of the other world and the other life" In this dissertation, we will analyse the relation between alterity and truth in the Foucauldian analysis of technics of the self. In order to do so, we will start with an analysis of the Foucaldian methodology used in his last years, especially what he means by alethurgic analysis. Then, we explore the necessity of an other for the manifestation of truth of the subject, for example, the necessity of an other for the ascetic practice of the self. Finally, we explain in which way the truth, in order to appear as such to the self, need to adopt an excentric position which, in its incarnation, will result in the other life. Key words: Foucault, alterity, technics of the self, truth
