  • Éffondrements: Frédéric Beigbeder’s Windows on the World

    Open AccessLawrence R SchehrARTICLEFrench Cultural Studies2010

    Frédéric Beigbeder’s Windows on the World uses the fictional conceit of a narrator telling events post mortem in order to describe what happened on 11 September 2001. In doing so, he approaches the events using what is culturally known, and attempts to develop a new episteme for these events by means of the known, in distinction to those who might penetrate the Lacanian Real and those recounting the events from an apocalyptic point of view

  • Mine Shaft Gap: Vigipirate and the Subject of Terror

    Lawrence R SchehrARTICLESouth Atlantic Quarterly2008Cited by: 1

    The French warning system against possible acts of terror, called Vigipirate, is a color-coded plan for raising awareness of the citizenry of France and a program of precautionary activities and policies. Each of the four stages of the alert-yellow, orange, red, and scarlet-offers increased security but also brings into question enduring values in Republican France, including the sovereignty and freedom of each individual, his or her independence…

  • The Last Straw

    Lawrence R SchehrARTICLESubStance2004

    Here are four ways to start an article. One is to take a keyword and look it up in a dictionary. By engaging its meaning, especially its denotative meaning, the critic can pinpoint a moment and a nexus within a system. Scrutinizing its connotations, its changes over time, or its multiple, if not contradictory meanings, the critic can begin to destabilize that point, not necessarily to deconstruct it, as things would have been said in the seventie…

    Marcel Henaff, Lawrence R SchehrARTICLESubStance1998

    might first evoke figures of libertine executioners, the cruel despots of the Marquis's tales (Saint-Fond, Noirceuil, Blangis, Brisa-Testa) or figures of massacring courtesans (Juliette, Clairwil, Olympe, Mme Durand). Such a conjunction might also evoke the extraordinary meeting between a man and a historic moment, between a writing and an event: Sade left the Bastille on 4 July 1789 because of the riot, later became an active militant of the Rev…

  • Mirbeau's Ultraviolence

    Lawrence R SchehrARTICLESubStance1998

    SET IN A MYTHICAL CHINA, Octave Mirbeau's 1899 novel Jardin des supplices is a sustained narrative in which scenes of bloody torture are set against a story of a decadent love affair between the narrator and the female protagonist, Clara. The novel is divided into three sections, of which the first is a frontispiece, consisting in the main of reworked material from Divagations sur le meurtre (1896) and loi du meurtre (1892).

Partant de la constatation des differences d'approches qui existent, dans les deux pays, autour de la question de la litterature et de son traitement critique et theorique, l'A. plaide pour des etudes et des reflexions tenant compte du facteur contextuel, q…
