- The role of the writers in the Ballets Russes.
- Creator
- Pionzio, Martine Francoise., Florida Atlantic University, Hokenson, Jan W.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

The reading of Nadja may seem effortless at first, given that the novel's two hundred pages include fifty pages of illustrations. These pictures are of two kinds, photographs and drawings.

Show moreThe reading of Nadja may seem effortless at first, given that the novel's two hundred pages include fifty pages of illustrations. These pictures are of two kinds, photographs and drawings. Breton's different expressive modes, verbal and graphic, combine two opposite worlds, the written reference to the real Parisian places and the surreal sphere depicted in the avant-garde portraits and drawings. One of the primary surrealist technique is to mix different elements, such as illusion, the fantastic, and the dream in order to create a new world, free of any banal reality or logic to transport the reader out of mundane time-space. Therefore, the readers' problem is to determine whether these pictures are a graphic enhancement supplementing the verbal text, or on the contrary, a disjunctive element added to disturb the reader and to confuse the understanding of the verbal text with graphic enigmas.

- Abstract/Description

Like most nineteenth-century French realists, Maupassant's interest in positivistic models of the human being, from Darwinian evolution to the new psychologies, led him to scientific readings, detailed documentations of "milieu," and contemporary subjects which he then treated with literary techniques drawn from both the realist Flaubert and the naturalist Zola. It is in extending these techniques to the fantastic, however, that Maupassant achieves an original and highly effective amalgam...

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.

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.

Critics of Beckett's trilogy (Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable) have long puzzled over the profusion of bilabials in the characters' names: Molloy, Moran, Malone, Macmann. They all share a common initial. "Les Tripedes de la Trilogie" attempts to offer yet another interpretation: with its three bases, the letter M suggests in the context of the trilogy a man and his stick, reminiscent to Beckett of the three-legged "animal" in the riddle of the Sphinx.

They all share a common initial. "Les Tripedes de la Trilogie" attempts to offer yet another interpretation: with its three bases, the letter M suggests in the context of the trilogy a man and his stick, reminiscent to Beckett of the three-legged "animal" in the riddle of the Sphinx. The omnipresent stick, in both its physical and symbolic functions, is shown to be the crucial instrument keeping the unstable Beckettian creatures briefly upright in their "struggle for life." As an extension of the body, it allows them to fight and to survive. As a cylindrical rod, it acquires metaphysical associations with divine or supernatural power.

As one of the founders of the realist novel, Balzac is praised for having invented returning characters and interwoven chronologies that serve to challenge the decadent social mores of his time, but critical discussions of Balzacs's work continue to neglect his use of satire in social criticism. Different modes of satire occure in his LePere Goriot (1835), Le Bat de Sceaux (1829), Gobseck (1830), La Maison Nucingen (1837), Le Depute dArcis (1847), and La Femme abandonnee (1822), which...

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.

Show moreThis study examines the representation of women in Emile Zola’s famous series Les Rougon-Macquart. Critics have described Zola’s novels and their presentation of women as misogynist, yet this judgment obscures many of the textual details establishing the female protagonists’ relationships to industrial capitalism and the rapidly changing social landscape in late nineteenth century France. This study reexamines the narrative synthesis between Zola’s naturalist “objective” narrator and his female protagonists. It also highlights one particular pairing that of Adelaide Fouque and her opportunist daughter-in-law, Felicité Puch: Whereas Adelaide, the biological matriarch of the family who figures in each of the twenty novels, does not have an active voice, Felicité as maternal protectrice of the family speaks frankly, even aggressively. Zola uses this pairing to link one generation to the next, a key structural element of his naturalist project. Ultimately, Zola’s representation of women is more complex than might otherwise be understood.

- 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.
