Roberto Bolaño in Context
Vernacular, unacknowledged multilingualism, and esoteric code
This essay focuses on the idea that the vernacular (conceived as a context-dependent relation between socially unequal languages) can sometimes enable a form of communication that excludes the socially superior non-speaker, a kind of secret language or “dark tongue” (Heller-Roazen), of which parables, whose quotidian appearance serves both to reveal and conceal an esoteric message, provide a template. As a language shared by the disenfranchised y…
Quelque chose de rouge”
Franais English L'criture de Flaubert dans Salammb est gouverne par un principe analogue au tableau vivant, qui tire le roman vers les arts visuels et les arts du spectacle. Le tableau vivant, pratique culturelle qui atteint sa plus grande popularit au cours du Second Empire, traverse la fois le thtre, la peinture, la photographie et la sculpture, arts avec lesquels l'criture de Flaubert entretient une relation d'imitation ou de rivalit. La quest…
Entre psychiatrie et philosophie
À partir d'« Adieu » de Balzac, histoire d'un traumatisme de guerre et d'une expérience thérapeutique radicale, on analyse la manière dont le texte hésite entre le discours clinique (place du savoir médical, en particulier les fondateurs de la psychiatrie moderne, Pinel et Esquirol), l'intuition scientifique (à certains égards déjà proche de Freud), et le symbolisme ambigu qui justifie l'inclusion de la nouvelle dans les Études philosophiques don…
Anecdotes, Faits Divers, and the Literary
Anecdotes, Faits Divers, and the Literary Dominique Jullien (bio) Anecdotes, the dictionaries tell us, are narratives that concern a singular event. They are supposed to be memorable or at least interesting.1 Although they are supposedly based on real life, they are not considered fit to be a serious basis for a philosophical discussion or scholarly elaboration, though they could open the way for one. In fact, one could apply to the anecdote what…
Travestissement et contre-pouvoir dans le roman-feuilleton
Le motif du prince déguisé, dérivé de l'orientalisme et des Mille et Une Nuits (le calife Haroun al-Raschid s'y promène déguisé en marchand dans les rues de Bagdad à la recherche d'aventures et de torts à redresser) sert dans le roman populaire à proposer un modèle de contre-pouvoir qui subvertit les institutions en place. Touché par la misère du peuple, et décidé à remédier personnellement à l'injustice sociale, l'archiduc Rodolphe de Gerolstein…
Echenoz's Modern-Day Mystics
Echenoz's Modern-Day Mystics Dominique Jullien University of California, Santa Barbara Back in 1988, in an article on Echenoz published in a special issue of Yale French Studies devoted to contemporary French novelists, I wrote: "Although the Médicis prize awarded to him for his second novel, Cherokee, has begun to familiarize the public with his work, Jean Echenoz is still a new name in contemporary French fiction. No critical studies are availa…
Bug-Jargal
Bug-Jargal: Revolution and its Doubles Hugo's first novel, which we know mainly in its later 1 826 version, shows an ambivalence and fascination with the notion of Revolution, and a pessi- mistic vision of inconclusive heroic sacrifice, which link it with a similarly ambivalent novel of the Revolution and similarly inconclusive figure of heroic self-sacrifice, Hugo's last, Quatre-vingt treize (Ninety-three
La Cuisine de Georges Perec
Cooking and Georges Perec Beyond the importance of food and eating in Perec's works, appears an analogy, between the art of cooking and that of writing, which owes much to Proust - not so much to the edibility of Proust's work, which has to do with the melding together af many ingredients whereas Perec's work is about lists and separate elements, as to the figure of the artist as ascetic, even anorexic, cook
Cynthie ou la réécriture de l'élégie dans les Mémoires d'outre-tombe
Cynthie : Rewriting Elegy in "Memoirs from Beyond the Grave". Chateaubriand, displacing this invocation from the time of its composition (his tenure as embassador in Rome), to his return to Paris from a failed mission in Prague in 1833, points to a reading beyond the pastiche of elegy to its deep affinity with death - an epitome of the "Memoirs
L'érotisme spirituel dans La Chartreuse de Parme
Spiritual eroticism in the charterhouse of Parma : Fabrice and Saint Jérome. When Fabrice sends Clelia's uncle a fine edition of Saint Jerome's Works (his anotations have ned the chaplain 's copy) she asks to compare the copies, and reads Fabrice's love in his pious glosses. However, Saint Jerome is in himself important to the novel
Of Stories and Women
in its reader, seducing her away from her virtuous needlework. A Gallehaut, that book, and he who wrote it, too: one of the most famous pairs of lovers in Western literature, Paolo and Francesca of Dante's Inferno, bear witness to love being a literary emotion, since they fall in love because they read a love story, and not vice-versa. Reading of Lancelot and Queen Guinevere's adulterous love affair, they act out the story in real life, kiss when…
