Abstract

Starting from the premise that the study of quarrels—and especially those involving women—has much to gain by considering conflicts that do not involve an appeal to a public, this essay focuses on the case of Madeleine de Souvré, marquise de Sablé (1599–1678), who articulated a theory of conflict in her “Maximes” and was involved with several high-profile controversies through her friendships with François de La Rochefoucauld and the nuns of Port-Royal de Paris. In her theory and practice of conflict, Sablé develops an art of ambiguity that strives for both individual agency and interpersonal harmony. Throughout her maxims, she lays out explicit strategies for managing conflicts but is caught between an emphasis on gaining an advantage over one’s adversaries and, at the other extreme, finding a middle ground with them. But conflicts from her life suggest a different art of ambiguity: through her involvement with the first readers of La Rochefoucauld’s Maximes and her relations with the nuns of Port-Royal, Sablé aims to preserve her own viewpoint and her friendships at the same time. These ambiguities lead to the hypothesis that she faced gendered limits that pushed her to search for ways of making her opinions more palatable and, ultimately, of allowing them to coexist with diverging opinions.
“与活人同住”
从研究争吵——尤其是涉及女性的争吵——通过考虑不涉及公众诉求的冲突可以获得很多好处这一前提出发,本文将重点放在马德琳·德·苏弗尔斯的案例上,萨布尔斯侯爵夫人(1599-1678),她在她的《准则》中阐述了一种冲突理论,并通过她与弗朗索瓦·德·拉罗什福科德和巴黎皇家港的修女们的友谊参与了几次备受瞩目的争议。在她的冲突理论和实践中,sabl发展了一种模糊的艺术,力求个人能动性和人际和谐。在她的格言中,她列出了管理冲突的明确策略,但在强调获得对对手的优势和在另一个极端找到与对手的中间立场之间陷入了困境。但她生活中的冲突暗示了一种不同的模棱两可的艺术:通过她与拉罗什富科的《格言》的第一批读者的接触,以及她与罗雅尔港修女的关系,sabl旨在同时保留她自己的观点和她的友谊。这些模棱两可导致了一种假设,即她面临着性别限制,这促使她寻找让自己的观点更容易被接受的方法,并最终允许它们与不同的观点共存。
