- L' idee de l'amour dans le couple chez Beauvoir.
- Creator
- Grosjean, Marie-Pierre., Florida Atlantic University, Hokenson, Jan W.
- Abstract/Description
-
One of the constants in Beauvoir's work is her lifelong attention to the phenomenon of love and the idea of the couple. In her philosophy as well as in her fiction, she develops a binary concept of love. On the one hand is "authentic love," connoting respect and reciprocity; on the other is "inauthentic love," a function of conquest and annexation. Because of her adherence to the tenets of Existentialism, Beauvoir, the feminist, skillfully negotiates between the notions of love and freedom.

Daniel Defoe's seminal novel Robinson Crusoe reflects major philosophical currents of the Enlightenment and brings them to bear on diverse issues: scientific advances, new economic models, British colonialization, the relation of the Other to the self.

Show moreDaniel Defoe's seminal novel Robinson Crusoe reflects major philosophical currents of the Enlightenment and brings them to bear on diverse issues: scientific advances, new economic models, British colonialization, the relation of the Other to the self. But if Robinson Crusoe presents Friday as Other who fulfills a crucial role by helping Robinson as narrating subject successfully complete the journey of self-knowledge, Michel Tournier's postmodern revision, Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique , has a quite different teleological aim. Through constantly shifting narrative and theoretical perspectives Vendredi undertakes a forceful critique of key aspects of the Western tradition which Robinson Crusoe confidently hailed: Lockean and Cartesian reasoning, traditional framing dichotomies central to the Western tradition (Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel), modern conceptions of the thinking subject. Vendredi ultimately suggests the inability of the postmodern subject to know itself while simultaneously critiquing those Western traditions whose perspectives are founded on hegemonic globalization.

Many critical studies of Colette, drawing heavily on psychoanalytic theory in order to explicate the biographical particulars of her life which are present in her works, have sought to brand the writer as feminine archetype of the free-spirited and inconstant libertine of the early twentieth century.

Show moreMany critical studies of Colette, drawing heavily on psychoanalytic theory in order to explicate the biographical particulars of her life which are present in her works, have sought to brand the writer as feminine archetype of the free-spirited and inconstant libertine of the early twentieth century. But while such studies often note the general importance of the theme of love in Colette's works, they have tended to ignore both the larger literary metamorphosis which the theme of love undergoes and its metonymic links to the act of writing itself. Indeed, in Colette's works the letter and the mirror become privileged symbols through which the love felt by the narrator is channeled and ultimately displaced towards the act of writing and self-apprehension. Paradoxically, the act of writing is what enables Colette's narrator to enact her own liberation, it is also the act of writing in which she encounters isolation.

Although both Zola and Dickens represent the precarious situation of the lower classes of society (workers, miners, and peasants), and that representation is similarly constructed at the level of both characters and narrative, Zola's characters engage in an active endeavor to change their social conditions while those of Dickens are more resigned to their circumstances, and are rather oriented toward individual moral accomplishment.

Show moreAlthough both Zola and Dickens represent the precarious situation of the lower classes of society (workers, miners, and peasants), and that representation is similarly constructed at the level of both characters and narrative, Zola's characters engage in an active endeavor to change their social conditions while those of Dickens are more resigned to their circumstances, and are rather oriented toward individual moral accomplishment. The tones of the discourse of the characters, closely reflects the implicit political posture of the narrators, in Zola's Germinal and La Terre, and in Dickens's Hard Times and Our Mutual Friend . Both writers oppose social injustice, while leaving the reader toward differential solutions, politico-economic in Zola and socio-moralistic in Dickens.

- Abstract/Description

Unlike the courtesan of romantic fiction, depicted as a sentimental and pitiful victim of social mores, the courtesan of French realism is rendered through the eyes of the nineteenth-century male bourgeois as a commodity to be consumed. Her body is objectified and fetishized, just as is her milieu of pleasure designed as legitimate compensation for the social delimitation of sexuality to reproduction.

Her body is objectified and fetishized, just as is her milieu of pleasure designed as legitimate compensation for the social delimitation of sexuality to reproduction. Through different direct and indirect narrative modes, Balzac as well as Flaubert and Zola often dehumanize, even demonize the courtesan for her power over male senses, overtly rendering her a scapegoat for society's decaying values and an open threat to patriarchal control over financial patrimony, the family, and the church.

Critical studies of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels, while explicating in detail the characterological functions of the women characters, including Gervaise in L'Assommoir and la Maheude in Germinal, have neglected the thematic functions of matriarchy in those texts as in the cycle as a whole.

Show moreCritical studies of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels, while explicating in detail the characterological functions of the women characters, including Gervaise in L'Assommoir and la Maheude in Germinal, have neglected the thematic functions of matriarchy in those texts as in the cycle as a whole. The decline of the matriarch is a prominent component of Zola's naturalistic scheme for the Rougon-Macquart , manifests not only in the increasing corruption of the progeny across the cycle, but primarily in the monographic depictions of the matriarchs themselves. Working-class mothers in particular embody the conflictual tensions of gender inequities and socio-economic deprivations that lead them to produce child-workers to support the family, typically becoming ever more negligent, on the model of Gervaise. Specifically in Germinal, Zola's largely negative conception of the fictive matriarch begins to change. This shift is sustained in subsequent texts of the cycle: the matriarch still suffers almost total loss (of husband, children, position), but she attains a new insight into the socio-economic system that so devours her offspring, and a new lucidity about her position within it.

- Abstract/Description

In histories of European Modernism, it is almost axiomatic that the first performance of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris in 1910 was an aesthetic watershed, culminating earlier experiments by Symbolists and Cubists and forecasting later Modernists' radical syntheses of French arts and literature. Yet the role of French writers in the productions of the Ballets Russes has been neglected by literary critics and historians. Nijinski's choreography of L'Apres-midi d'un Faune stands as...

Yet the role of French writers in the productions of the Ballets Russes has been neglected by literary critics and historians. Nijinski's choreography of L'Apres-midi d'un Faune stands as the theatrical culmination of Mallarme's poetic. The ballets Sheherazade and The Rite of Spring find a counterpart in the literary work of their admirer Proust, and Cocteau's achievement with the Ballets Russes in Parade serves as apprenticeship for his own later literary work while pointing the way to Surrealism and other avant-garde movements in France.

Show moreFrench literature has undoubtedly exerted a marked influence over Haitian letters. Since the Middle Ages, notable elements of the fantastic, such as loups-garous and talking animals in lais and fables, all the way to the unheimlich narratives of the nineteenth century, are also present in Haitian works with strong overtones of the oral traditions of slave narratives. However, Haitian literature, given its syncretic nature, offers not just an array of talking animals and “magic realist” episodes, but a unique “fantastic being,” the zombie. In turn, these figures have made their way not just into the Haitian folkloric tradition, but infused with political undertones, have become pivotal metaphors for contemporary Haitian writers on the island, as well as for those who write in the diaspora, to explore the nation’s oppressive governments. This dissertation traces the origins of such figures and their creative reincarnations today.
