{"title":"The Rat de l'Opéra and the Social Imaginary of Labour: Dance in July Monarchy Popular Culture","authors":"Olivia Sabee","doi":"10.1093/fs/knac180","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/fs/knac180","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Mid-nineteenth-century literary and theatrical depictions of rats de l'Opéra (young girls training and performing with the Paris Opéra) emphasize their physical and material hardships, dubious morals, and shapeshifting abilities. Physiologies, tell-all histories of the Paris Opéra, and vaudeville livrets each underscore these qualities of the rat in their portrayals of her, yet they also emphasize her role as a labourer. Taken together, these representations of the rat connect ensemble dancers with the idea of labour in the social imaginary, crafting an image of the ensemble dancer as physical labourer, juxtaposed with the star dancer, considered to be an artist.Abstract:Les représentations littéraires et théâtrales du milieu du dix-neuvième siècle des rats de l'Opéra (jeunes filles qui s'entraînent et se produisent à l'Opéra de Paris) mettent l'accent sur leurs difficultés physiques et matérielles, leurs moeurs douteuses et leurs capacités de métamorphose. Les physiologies, les chroniques de l'Opéra de Paris et les livrets de vaudeville soulignent ces qualités du rat dans leurs portraits, mais ils mettent également l'accent sur son rôle d'ouvrière. Mises bout à bout, ces représentations du rat rapprochent l'image des quadrilles de l'Opéra et le concept du travail dans l'imaginaire social, créant ainsi une image du quadrille (de l'Opéra) comme ouvrière, juxtaposée à celle du danseur étoile, considéré comme artiste.","PeriodicalId":332929,"journal":{"name":"French Studies: A Quarterly Review","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128922949","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":"Thinking with Spirits, or Dwelling and Knowing in the Work of Aimé Césaire","authors":"J. Allen-Paisant","doi":"10.1093/fs/knac198","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/fs/knac198","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article discusses Aimé Césaire's ethical commitment to more-than-human existence. The intention is not to read Césaire as an 'eco-poet', or through the lens of contemporary 'eco-poetics', terms which might not have meant much to him in the period from the 1930s to the 1950s, when his poetic project took shape. Even if we may today read Césaire's poetry in the light of contemporary eco-poetic and eco-philosophical thought, this article is more concerned with examining in his work a set of epistemological viewpoints that take shape around poetry and which reveal the essence of an ethical position concerning the human's relationship to the natural world. These ethical questions are central to Césaire's understanding of what Négritude was to be, and, more broadly, to his critique of imperialism and colonialism. The article therefore shows how Césaire's poetics of creativity and ethics in relation to non-human life develops in interaction with history. If the idea of poetry as possession is the glue that connects all of these ideas, it is because it shows the way they are animated by an African 'animist' sensibility that unites the sacred and the secular and intertwines mind and thought with nature.Abstract:Cet article traite de l'engagement éthique d'Aimé Césaire envers l'existence plusqu'humaine. Son intention n'est de lire Césaire ni comme 'éco-poète', ni à travers le prisme de l''écopoésie', termes qui n'auraient peut-être pas eu beaucoup de sens pour lui dans la période des années trente aux années cinquante, au cours de laquelle son projet poétique a pris forme. Même si l'on peut aujourd'hui lire la poésie de Césaire à la lumière de la pensée éco-poétique et éco-philosophique contemporaine, cet article se donne plutôt pour but d'examiner dans son oeuvre un ensemble de points de vue épistémologiques qui prennent forme autour de la poésie et qui révèlent l'essence d'une position éthique concernant la relation des êtres humains avec le monde naturel. Ces questions éthiques sont au coeur de la conception qu'avait Césaire de ce que devait être la Négritude et, plus largement, de sa critique de l'impérialisme et du colonialisme. L'article montre donc comment la poétique de la créativité et l'éthique césairiennes vis-à-vis du domaine extrahumain se développe en interaction avec l'histoire. Si l'idée de la poésie comme possession est le ciment qui relie toutes ces idées, c'est parce qu'elle montre à quel point celles-ci sont motivées par une sensibilité 'animiste' africaine qui joint le sacré et le profane et entrelace l'esprit et la pensée avec la nature.","PeriodicalId":332929,"journal":{"name":"French Studies: A Quarterly Review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125234698","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}
