Anatomizing America
Cet article se propose d'analyser les liens établis entre la science et la rhétorique nationaliste littéraire pendant la première moitié du XIXe siècle. La fusion de ces deux domaines encouragea de nombreux écrivains à « anatomiser » leur nouveau pays. Cette tendance, qui eut pour effet de produire des écrits plus "statiques" que des romans de type classique, a également été exploitée à des fins philosophiques par des écrivains de la Renaissance …
A Geometric Joy– »
In the first half of the 19th century, the rapid development of science in its modern form reinforced the belief that the existence of God could be proved. "Natural theology, " as it was then called, was the theoretical framework in which Emily Dickinson was taught science at Amherst College. This article traces the influence of Dickinson's scientific schooling on her poetic use of the concept of "circumference. " By calling into question the dog…
Faire parler le silence de la folie »
With the ambition of providing the United States with a national literature moving away from the "Gothic chimeras" of his English contemporaries, C.B. Brown (1771-1810) called upon science, and notably the emerging psychiatric lore, to ensure the verisimilitude of his novels. At a time when Pinel, Tuke and Rush were, according to M. Foucault, "silencing madness" by classifying mental illnesses, Brown let lunatic characters express anguish and fea…
Hawthorne au musée
This paper explores the textual and narrative strategies devised by Hawthorne to subvert the assumption underlying the conception of the past as an object to be reconstructed by historical knowledge. In a museum historically arranged, the succession of events through time can be duplicated as a succession of objects. Hawthorne 's tale represents the museum as a convenient fallacy, and offers the collection as the more adequate paradigm for the wa…
L’exil impossible
Is translation the necessary compromise and displacement in order to postpone the death of Yiddish, the language spoken by a minority in America ? While posing translation as a form of exile the Yiddish poet cannot elude today, Cynthia Ozick gives evidence that the Jewish writer must acknowledge his position in between and accept the eclipse of his mother tongue, the only way for him to live through his origins and culture
L’imagination des savoirs dans l’Eurêka de Poe
In Eureka, Poe hits on some of the fundamental features of our present view of the universe. In this essay, I investigate the way in which he appropriates the scientific knowledge of his day to elaborate a vision of the cosmos pulsating from and back into "God" or, to our limited reason, "Nothingness." Poe evinces a mixture of expertise, disingenuousness, discernment and rhetoric, but my overall contention is that he was guided by a deep, imagina…
ABC of Ezra Pound’s Science
Cet article se propose un double but : montrer la grande cohérence de la démarche « scientifique » de Pound - démarche qui, bien plus qu'une simple affaire d'habillage discursif, est au cœur de son art ; et parallèlement, rendre accessible, sous une forme succincte, les idées-force de cette science toute particulière, en d'autres termes faire un travail de vulgarisation que nous assumons comme tel et dont, à travers ses propres écrits, Pound nous…
Poe à la croisée des chemins
Against the common view of Poe as a romantic occultist, this paper attempts to describe the significance of scientific rationality as a source and model for his short fiction. Through the analysis of "Hans Pfaall", his famous early hoax, we bring to light the problematic of narrative credibility and self-evidentiality, which as J. Irwin has shown, is central to Poe's skeptical imagination. This problematic, which we also relate to the status of w…
Le spleen du maître d’école
This paper focuses on the highly ambivalent relation that Ishmael-as the narrator of the hunt -maintains with knowledge. This relation seems to be structured around two specific functions : knowledge as an implement of power and as a means of protection or resistance. It will eventually be seen how Ishmael's school-teacher's strategy proves powerless in front of his own Ahabian facet and the fascination for the white whale it entails
The whiteness of the whale, silence du chant
Chapter 42 in Moby-Dick might well be said to be Melville's most complex speculation on the unnamable. Maneuvering between explanation and illustration, analysis and incantation, question and silence, terror and mystery, the discourse proceeds forward and backward to an unlikely understanging of the « phenomenon » of whiteness. Though unveilings but reveal other veils, the narrator's logical imagination will have eventually made an eventful journ…
