Making Known Again: The Rhetorical Function of Anagnorisis in Georges Perec'sLa disparition
This article proposes that the main trope of Georges Perec's novel, La disparition (1969), is anagnorisis, or a scene of literary recognition. Though Perec borrows a classical trope described by Aristotle, his novel stands out in that it is not a character that the reader must recognize but an unexpected and unannounced void, namely, the absence of the letter E from the entire text. Framing this exercise in literary constraint as a modernist myst…
Ubu roi, Cyrano de Bergerac et l'affaire Barrès: Les trames intertextuelles d'une révolution avant-garde
In 1921, André Breton organized a "revolutionary tribunal" to judge the égotiste turned nationalist Maurice Barrès. Despite its declared target however, the "Affaire Barrès"'s most startling revelation was the avant-garde's unwitting complicity with the reactionary arrière-garde, a relationship that becomes apparent in the intertextual networks that constitute the trial. As a theatrical event, the faux tribunal evoked Edmond Rostand's creation of…
A Strange Child of Paradise: The Artistry of Arletty's “Self” in Les enfants du paradis
This essay argues that the French actress Arletty, née Léonie Bathiat, engaged in a multifaceted and complex form of selfhood that profoundly influenced her role in the classic film of the French occupation period, Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise, dir. Marcel Carné, France, 1945). Adopting Marcel Mauss's categories of the human mind, the author maintains that the relationship between Arletty's person, her star persona, and her functi…
The Impossibly Many Loves of Charles Swann: The Myth of Proustian Love and the Reader's "Impression" inUn amour de Swann
Much in Marcel Proust's Un amour de Swann-notably its position in the Recherche and the title itself-suggests that we might derive from the tale of Swann's love for Odette a general "law" about love, applicable throughout the Recherche. Yet far from conveying a clear account of Swann's passion, the story presents nine different falling-in-love scenes, which, it seems, contradict the prevailing view that Swann's tale is a relatively "easy" section…
