Title: La decheance matriarcale chez Zola: "L'assommoir" et "Germinal".
Creator: Alaoui, Sanaa Ismaili, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: 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. 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...
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.

Title: La metamorphose de l'amour dans l'oeuvre de colette.
Creator: de Lima, Edwige Verdier., Florida Atlantic University, Munson, Marcella L.
Abstract/Description: 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. 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...
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.

Title: LA RELATION MERE-ENFANT CHEZ DURAS. (FRENCH TEXT).
Creator: DIAFERIA, MICHAELA., Florida Atlantic University, Hokenson, Jan W.
Abstract/Description: The relationship between the mother and the child in Duras is most fully developed in the novels La Vie Tranquille (1944), Un Barrage contre le Pacifique (1950), Les Petits Chevaux de Tarquinia (1953), Moderato cantabile (1958), and L' Amant (1984). The relationship is intense, initially joyful but ultimately alienated. It dramatizes the feminine needs of the mother and the filial needs of the child, always in conflict.

The relationship is intense, initially joyful but ultimately alienated. It dramatizes the feminine needs of the mother and the filial needs of the child, always in conflict. It weakens, as the mother undergoes personal trials, and, as the child grows older, love turns to hate and despair. This study of the novels reveals a consistent structure: the mother-child relationship in Duras is repeatedly depicted as an enslaving experience, comparable in its passionate development to a foredoomed love affair.

Title: De Freud a Cixous: Une autre perspective sur Dora l'hysterique. (French text).
Creator: Feldman, Marie., Florida Atlantic University, Hokenson, Jan W.
Abstract/Description: Cixous rejects the conclusions reached by Freud in the "Dora case" and rewrites the analysis without changing the sequence of events. In her play Portrait de Dora (published in Paris in 1976) Dora incarnates the injustices suffered by women within the family. The importance of the play is that it shifts responsibility from Dora to the entire society to which she belongs. Cixous's Dora becomes the symbol of woman who has overcome anguish and shattered the traditional "jougs et censures"...

Abstract/Description: Twelfth century French feudal culture witnesses the codification of new marriage laws and a rapid rise in popularity of the Cult of the Virgin Mary, with correspondingly renewed attention being paid to women by ecclesiastical intellectuals of all sects. Of particular interest to these churchmen was the duty of the medieval wife to bear children.

Show moreTwelfth century French feudal culture witnesses the codification of new marriage laws and a rapid rise in popularity of the Cult of the Virgin Mary, with correspondingly renewed attention being paid to women by ecclesiastical intellectuals of all sects. Of particular interest to these churchmen was the duty of the medieval wife to bear children. The Lais of Marie de France, a late twelfth-century text, often focus explicitly on motherhood (both biological and symbolic) and therefore allow a deeper examination of the new cultural representations of women in the dual role of spouse and mother. The Lais further highlight the symbolic role of the child as guarantor both of a woman's social value and of the validity of the love relationship based on the tenets of fin'amors instead of formal marriage.
