This complex novella is the story of a man purporting to evaluate his own life. As such, it privileges modes of cognition, yet readers are often frustrated as they wrestle with a text in which the usual modalities through which a human life is given substance are undermined. Recent developments in neuroscience allow for a more precise understanding of how individuals make sense of the past and of what determines their choices and actions. This article will draw on Gazzaniga's notion of ‘the interpreter of experience’ (2018) and Smith Churchland's work on altruism genes (2011) to shed new light on the presentation of self, and on the legacy of trauma, in <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">La Chute</jats:italic> .","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145717866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows how Bruneau was inspired by Charlotte Beradt's foundational work <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">The Third Reich of Dreams</jats:italic> (1985) to collect and present a series of dreams about the contemporary experience of the neoliberal workplace. These dreams have a manifestly social content and exhibit recurrent themes, which means that they can be interpreted as a collective matrix that provides insight into the effect of work on the psyche. The dreams also have a latent content that provides access to a social unconscious. They register otherwise unarticulated and invisible dynamics, and in doing so they suggest new ways of thinking and resisting in what Hannah Arendt calls ‘dark times’. The article will also explore the ways in which Bruneau's striking use of cinematic composition adds an important aesthetic dimension to the field of social dreaming, constructing an allusive and resonant dreamscape within which affects of exhaustion, trauma and ultimately resistance can circulate.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145311019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most of the detainees perished under inhumane conditions, a handful of miraculous survivors emerged after two decades of torture and deprivation, their broken bodies serving as living archives of barbarity. The protagonists of Kamal's trilogy – mostly committed visual artists, painters or sculptors – strive to give form to the unspeakable and to sublimate horror. Through their artistic creations, they probe wounded flesh, recover a scarred memory inscribed on the body itself, and work to rehabilitate the victims by restoring to them a name, a dignity, a story. The artist, depicted as a quasi-Christ-like figure, appears to bear the burden of collective redemption, but this mission comes at the cost of devastating personal sacrifice, leading him to the edge of madness or into the depths of despair. Yet, like other Moroccan prison narratives that confront evil by giving it shape and voice, Kamal's trilogy contributes to a slow but necessary process of reconciliation between Moroccans and their history. It opens a space for memory, recognition, and healing.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145295578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the following decades, he continued to depict girls in ways that art historians and critics have widely discussed as morally problematic. There is no shortage of art historical writing on Balthus, but his work raises a relatively overlooked question for the cultural history of twentieth-century France: how to explain the extraordinary success of an artist whose works depict, in a stylized realism, sexualised scenes involving children? To respond to this question, this article first sketches the limits of interwar French society's toleration when it comes to sexual innocence and adolescence, with a focus on Balthus’s Surrealist milieu. It then interrogates how in 1934 and after, Balthus's work pushed up against those limits and yet largely avoided condemnation. It does so by setting his earlier work against the popularity of the genre of news known as faits divers, and then by examining, in relation to his later work, how his painterly style and approach to depicting adolescents continued to discourage moral questioning. As such, it seeks to approach Balthus anew in an era that demands a more direct scrutiny of any idealisation of sexual exploitation.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144341018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on psychoanalytic frameworks from Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, and Jean Bellemin-Noël, this study examines voyeurism not only as an act of observing but as a legitimate and illegitimate mechanism. This article distinguishes the ethical boundaries between the voyeurism of characters—marked by transgression and power imbalance—and that of the reader, positioned as legitimate observer who actively engages in the cocreation of the text. To illustrate these complexities, the study analyzes Marguerite Duras's <jats:italic>The Ravishing of Lol V. Stein</jats:italic> , a novel where voyeurism functions as both a narrative and thematic centerpiece. Through Lol's compulsive gaze at others and Jack Hold's controlling, voyeuristic narration, the text reveals layered interactions of observation, desire, and identity. Lol's voyeurism, driven by trauma, is contrasted with Jack Hold's manipulative gaze, which objectifies and redefines her within his narrative. Simultaneously, the reader is implicated in a layered voyeuristic act, observing not only the characters but also their acts of voyeurism. The discussion highlights the dual role of voyeurism in literature: as a means of exploring human desire and as a narrative tool that challenges the reader to reflect on his/her ethical engagement with fictional texts. By addressing these dynamics, the article provides insights into the broader implications of voyeurism in literature and its resonance with psychoanalytic and ethical discourse.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article first explores why Derrida uses the preface as a textual laboratory, then shows that, after ‘the end of the book’, the preface is both an impossible mode of writing and the only permitted mode of writing. Derrida takes Hegel as both a precursor and an adversary: Hegel sought to sublate the preface for different reasons than Derrida but had to write even more prefaces to do so. By analyzing Derrida's reading of this performative contradiction in Hegel, the article clarifies why Derrida is obsessed with the desire to incessantly preface. Finally, the article situates Derrida's ‘incessant preface’ within the broader context of the development of deconstruction, often referred to as a ‘turn’.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"158 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I analyze the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery, celebrated as Nantes’ recognition of their colonial past and France's journey to abolition. In my analysis of the Memorial, I consider what is being communicated through the memorial, and the stakes it holds for municipal and local actors in the memory scene. Utilizing a textual and visual analysis of the memorial, I analyze the choices made for the memorial, who is interpellated within its narratives, and how ultimately, the monument is a tool of disavowal for the city of Nantes even as they take steps to reckon with the role in the transatlantic slave trade. I argue that Nantes, through the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery, utilizes a humanitarian narrative to avoid guilt for its pivotal role in the slave trade and to link itself to larger Europe as a cosmopolitan, artistic city that has cleansed itself from its sins.","PeriodicalId":12398,"journal":{"name":"French Cultural Studies","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
