{"title":"Le désir monstrueux dans l’oeuvre dramatique de Marie NDiaye","authors":"Johanna Biehler","doi":"10.47743/aic-2022-1-0014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47743/aic-2022-1-0014","url":null,"abstract":"Marie NDiaye’s literary work is at times considered as an example of magical realism, a kind of realism whereby one of the structural elements does not quite fit within an otherwise true-tolife world, which therefore unexpectedly triggers the magical. In NDiaye’s dramatic works (in particular Hilda, Les Grandes Personnes and Toute vérité, the last one written in collaboration with Jean-Yves Cendrey, her husband), this “magical” element transpires in the characters’ desires. These “abnormal” (sexual perversion, narcissistic perversion) and out of the ordinary desires turn characters into monsters, even though, in a world where magic and reason are conflated, monsters are not necessarily defined in the traditional way. In addition, the exploration of devious phenomena leads to quasi clinical descriptions of behavioural disorders, such as BPD (borderline personality disorder), which takes Marie NDiaye’s works to a blurred border where magic and psychiatry can happily coexist, and where each reader/spectator can see a monster according to his/her own desires. L’œuvre de Marie NDiaye est parfois décrite comme relevant du « réalisme magique », un réalisme dont un élément ne trouve pas sa place dans cet univers proche du quotidien et cela de façon inexplicable, ce qui fait surgir la magie. Dans ses textes dramatiques (et tout particulièrement Hilda, Les Grandes Personnes et Toute vérité, ce dernier écrit en collaboration avec son époux, Jean-Yves Cendrey), l’élément « magique » se retrouve dans les désirs des personnages. Leurs désirs sont considérés comme anormaux (perversion sexuelle, perversion narcissique) et ces désirs hors normes transforment les personnages en monstres, même si le monstre n’est pas toujours celui que l’on croit dans un univers où magie et raison se confondent. L’exploration de ce phénomène de déviance se rapproche aussi de certains tableaux cliniques concernant les troubles du comportement, comme la personnalité-limite, amenant l’œuvre de Marie NDiaye à une frontière trouble entre la magie et la psychiatrie, où chaque lecteur/spectateur peut voir un monstre selon ses propres désirs.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70888098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dystopia, which is a novel of ideas, is populated with monsters, the proponents of the tyrannical regime of Oceania, who aimed at absolute control not only of people’s bodies, but also of their minds, mainly through the ‘rationalized’ artificial language called Newspeak, which was meant to make all other forms of thought impossible. The importance of Newspeak in the construction of the argument of this novel is not only literary, but also linguistic; thus, Nineteen Eighty-Four is also considered Orwell’s chief work of linguistics, one which has had lexicological effects in inspiring a host of further creations including doublespeak, teenspeak and nukespeak, besides the popularization of several slogans, including ‘Big Brother is watching you’. In fact, language was one of Orwell’s major concerns. This paper argues that from a linguistic viewpoint Newspeak is a monster in itself, completely frozen as it is, immune to change and other semantic processes, thus going against the principles on which any natural language is based.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70888293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore the textual and social tensions the figure of the female reader as a threatening force produced in the nineteenth century, this paper focuses on a sagacious heroine civilizing a bestial hero representative of the fairy-tale genre. Though certainly ahistorical, Jane subverts the fairy-tale game of submission and dominance, inviting contemporary readers to see her as a participant in the cons truction of social meanings and challenge conflicting assumptions around her seemingly dark double and physical inferiority. Touching as it does on female experience within domesticity, this study submits findings consistent with the idea that the home – the locus of Victorian well-being – can easily adjoin a horrific Gothic site of incarceration and terror, populated by male tyrants and colonized monsters. For Jane Eyre and other reading heroines confined to such places as symbolic prisons or intellectual hospitals, books turn out to subsume plentiful underlying supplies of vitality.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70887805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Lectura naște monștri – creaturile livrești ale Angliei victoriene","authors":"Mădălina Elena Mandici","doi":"10.47743/aic-2022-1-0007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47743/aic-2022-1-0007","url":null,"abstract":"This paper deals with the context in which the monstrously distorted textual encounters of the four female characters – Catherine Earnshaw, Maggie Tulliver, Dorothea Brooke and Dinah Morris –and the printed word seen as a dangerous entity occur. Emily Brontë and George Eliot bring to the forefront their heroines’ library tour of fictional choices to raise red flags related to 19th-century anxieties about women readers who begin to incarnate the texts read in solitude. The drastic change of reading patterns in the 19th-century involves, by extension, women’s habituation with unguided reading for pleasure instead of domestic duties. Within the same social context denying the existence of a sophisticated female reading public, there is a spectacular growth and diversification of texts penned and read by women. The two novelists themselves, both of whom assume a pen name, remain hesitant about the disclosure of their public persona. Much of the fascination that the embedded intertexts of Wuthering Heights, The Mill on the Floss, Middlemarch and Adam Bede hold over the female characters is linked with their quest for personal exploration and expansion. The aim of this paper is to illuminate women’s conflicting contribution to hermeneutical events which, in the nineteenth-century, not only appall and paralyze readers with fear, but also admonish, instruct, and entertain the audience. Această lucrare are în prim-plan contextul care înglobează întâlnirile textuale monstruos distorsionate dintre patru personaje feminine – Catherine Earnshaw, Maggie Tulliver, Dorothea Brooke and Dinah Morris – şi cuvântul scris, văzut ca entitate periculoasă. Emily Brontë şi George Eliot realizează un tur al bi bliotecilor ficţionale deţinute de eroine pentru a semnala anxietăţile secolului al XIX-lea cu privire la transformarea lecturii colective, intensive în practică individuală şi extensivă. Modificarea drastică a tiparelor de lectură aduce cu sine deprinderea femeilor cu lectura necălăuzită, de plăcere, în defavoarea obligaţiilor casnice. În acelaşi context social care neagă existenţa unui public cititor feminin rafinat, textele citite şi semnate de femei încep să sporească şi să se diversifice. Cele două romanciere adoptă, la rândul lor, pseudo nime literare, fiind constrânse să-şi ascundă identitatea publică. O mare parte din fascinaţia pe care referinţele intertextuale încorporate de La răscruce de vînturi, Moara de pe Floss, Middlemarch şi Adam Bede o au asupra personajelor feminine este legată de căutarea unui mijloc de explorare şi expansiune. Scopul acestei lucrări este să clarifice contribuţia controversată pe care femeile au adus-o actului hermeneutic care, în secolul al XIX-lea, nu numai că frapa şi inducea frică paralizantă în cititori, dar totodată sfătuia, educa şi delecta audienţa.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70887932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They express terror and instinctive repulsion. By associating the sea monsters with the waves, one can argue that, for instance, the malignant representations of the mermaid – wave is the animation of the sea water, same as the waving of mermaid’s hair represents an animation of her seductive power – evoke seafarers’ phantasmas connected to the image of a fatal woman. Saint Augustin defined the monster as a deviation from the norm. Therefore, monster can be seen as the Other, as the alterity of the human condition. In the medieval period, man was terrified by the immensity of the maritime spaces, and this feeling was reflected in stories about sea monsters, but the development of the maritime field made that terror be transformed in curiosity. In the present essay we’ll focus on the development of the theories related to sea monsters and we’ll argue that these monsters are nothing but ways in which we perceive the world around us and demand us to reassess our cultural assumptions towards differences and force us to tolerate any forms of expression.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70887681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the distribution of the sensible refers, broadly speaking, to who is allowed to speak, what is visible and what remains invisible within a perceptual framework, this article offers an analysis of narrative voices that allow readers to get a glimpse of Mr Hyde’s mysterious identity and his relationship with respectable Dr Jekyll. Their silences also speak of the true nature of this monster, special attention being given to the reasons why narrative voices fail to provide a full account of events. Consequently, what is said by various characters in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and what is left unsaid guide the study that ultimately attempts at determining the aesthetico-political regime the novella —written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886— belongs to.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70888311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When Holmes is sent to investigate, he discovers that the mother is innocent of the charge and was, in fact, only trying to protect her baby, but the horror and abjection of the mother figure devouring her child supersedes the horror of the vampire. The paper argues that motherhood equals, multiplies and even replaces the monstrosity of the vampire. In spite of the mother’s ultimate innocence, her status as foreigner and Other (both female and Peruvian) marks her as an indeterminate threat. In order to explain the marginality and peril of the foreign mother, the paper will also turn to postcolonial theories, relating them to theories of gender, race and motherhood.","PeriodicalId":30923,"journal":{"name":"Acta Iassyensia Comparationis","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70888021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
