In the context of post-World War I disillusionment, rising Fascism, and post-World War II calculations of those who vied for power, he also criticized bad faith iterations of History. However, a number of texts in his Feuillets d’Hypnos ('Leaves of Hypnos,') published in 1946 and written during his participation in the Resistance, assert an alternative history in which aesthetic, ethical, and political experience were linked. With the post-war return to the usual order of political institutions, the practice of this alternative history ended, as Char had predicted. It has its afterlife in his writing, however, which posits the continued creation of a shared, common aesthetic experience. Jacques Rancière’s “dissensus” can helpfully illuminate this, in that it designates multiple moments when people make themselves seen or heard against the expectations of the societally controlling “distribution of the sensible.”","PeriodicalId":30962,"journal":{"name":"Studies in 20th 21st Century Literature","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135987623","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}

In response to Chris Bongie’s call to re-evaluate Condé’s engagement with popular literature, I contend that popular literacies can be just as useful as more arcane cultural knowledge for interpreting this and other novels by Condé. Previous studies of Condé’s use of popular devices in Célanire cou-coupé approached the novel as an example of the Todorovian fantastique. In positing the eponymous Célanire as a supernatural creature of horror, I set aside the epistemological ambiguity of the fantastique, but this move in fact generates new questions about the meaning of the violent acts attributed to Condé’s protagonist. While Célanire cou-coupé’s horror narrative evokes broader forms of anti-colonial or anti-patriarchal counter-violence, there are limits to an allegorical reading of Célanire’s violence, and, consequently, potential limits to the pleasures typically associated with horror texts.","PeriodicalId":30962,"journal":{"name":"Studies in 20th 21st Century Literature","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77008377","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}
