Observaremos tanto las maneras y actitudes que toman los padres al ejercer la tutela de sus hijas, como los papeles que juegan en las respectivas historias amorosas de esas dos jóvenes muchachas. En primer lugar, hemos visto que Alisa se caracteriza por la negligencia y la ignorancia cuando ejerce la tutela de Melibea. Desconoce por completo el amor y la pasión que tiene Melibea. En cuanto a Pleberio, éste también se caracteriza por la ignorancia en la tutela de su hija, pues confía mucho en las falsas excusas de ésta, lo que le permite a ella acudir a la cita secreta con su amado. Aunque propone un marido a Melibea, su intención original es tener herederos que aseguren su hacienda, para así poder morir en paz. A diferencia de los padres de Melibea, Zheng Shi, madre de Cui Yingying, se distingue por la prudencia y el cuidado al ejercer la tutela de su hija: controla todas sus acciones de acuerdo con la disciplina doméstica y el código feudal chino, de cuya doctrina y moral nos parece una verdadera representante. La anciana madre ama mucho a su hija y juega un papel decisivo en la elección del cónyuge. En segundo lugar observamos que los padres de las dos doncellas han propuesto un matrimonio con un muchacho noble para sus hijas, pero las muchachas los consideran obstáculos para su libre albedrío, para consumar el amor con sus enamorados. Por lo tanto, las enamoradas muestran, en grado diferente, su lucha por conseguir un amor que se ajuste a sus sentimientos.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"139 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1546812","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42827121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Su trabajo crítico-visual refleja el estatus contemporáneo de los emoticonos y los emoji, signos de una creciente integración de lo digital en la vida cotidiana. Entendido a la luz de la producción reciente del artista, el lenguaje analítico visual de Pere Joan funciona como una aceptación de las posibilidades formales señaladas por lo digital y a la vez como una reivindicación de la cultura analógica y la reflexión histórica. Además, la estructura innovadora de las páginas del libro pone de manifiesto la relación entre el cómic y el arte gráfico puro. Al fin y al cabo, más que una celebración de la era digital, 100 pictogramas recupera un impulso ensayístico analógico para recalcar el potencial crítico de toda imagen. Desde el minimalismo formal, eco gráfico de los emoticonos, Pere Joan hace posible una toma de conciencia histórica que simbólicamente llevará a los lectores más allá de la inmediatez sugerida por la lógica del consumo hacia una crítica de la vida cotidiana.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"180 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1546815","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47713685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against the canonical Hegelian reading of this dialogue as a symptom of the decadence of critical thinking in enlightenment philosophy, and the Frankfurt School emphasis on the systematic character of Enlightenment thought, I argue that the paradoxical and sometimes pessimistic nature of Rameau’s Nephew contains also some elements for an Enlightenment cure through its aesthetic form. By analysing the philosophical value of the pantomimes and musical performances by the character Rameau, I hope to unveil an aspect of the materialist aesthetics Diderot developed to oppose systematic thinking and the reification of thought at work in the Enlightenment movement of which he was a part.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"151 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1546813","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46923487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not all instances of coexistent minds are the same, but all overpower and control their hosts to both farcical and deadly ends but also with moral, judicial and instructive consequences. I argue that these are not the external doppelgängers of nineteenth-century fantastic literature that emerge from the host, but internal doubles that are distinguished by their difference rather than their similarity to their hosts, as a result of which Tarchetti stands out for his innovative take on the theme of the double.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"167 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1546814","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44809140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Bonsaver (Censorship and Literature in Fascist Italy, Toronto, Buffalo, London: University of Toronto Press, 2007), the novel marked the beginning of a more rigid censorship because of these reactions, although the love story between a white woman and a black man in the novel actually finishes with separation and the man’s return to Africa. The argument was highly controversial, not only because Italy was preparing for war in Abyssinia but also because of the regime’s racist and sexist attitudes towards interracial love and female authors. Here it is argued that the novel, despite its ending, was controversial in more ways than one, since the female protagonist does not accept a woman’s inferiority in marriage and refuses to give up her child as a consequence of divorce.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"101 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1507296","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46262845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the light of new information on the connections that were developed between salon life and the periodical press, this study undertakes an exploration of women’s participation in both the private sphere of the salons and in the public sphere of the press. Theoretical considerations concerning women’s position in contemporary debate will be articulated alongside three case studies: Emilia Pardo Bazán, Emilia Serrano de Wilson, and Joaquina García Balmaseda. A comparative study of their salon chronicles will help bring to light the editorial strategies that they followed and the collaborations that they established throughout their careers. These historiographically underexplored strategies will enhance our understanding of women’s contribution to the field of cultural production and will offer an insight into the increasingly globalized future of the press.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"100 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1507294","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44500888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel is also reminiscent of its precursor, ‘The Aleph,’ a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. In this essay, I briefly examine Coelho’s novel in respect to Borges’s short story and the Greek and Judeo-Christian conceptions of time. More extensively, I probe the complexity of Coelho’s depiction of time, the two modes of Aleph, and the experience of time and reincarnation by drawing upon Gilles Deleuze’s two diverse, albeit intersecting, approaches to time and its dimensions: the Chronos and Aion conceptions of time and the three syntheses of past, present, and future. As the novel delineates the contours of a shared experience of time by a Christian author and a young Muslim musician, I investigate how Aleph, in Coelho’s novel, functions as a perennial symbol of convergence and compassion among the followers of ostensibly irreconcilable religions.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"111 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1507297","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59311049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lampitt","doi":"10.1080/02639904.2018.1507295","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02639904.2018.1507295","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article analyses the role of troubadour lyric in the psychoanalytic theory of Julia Kristeva, particularly her models of the semiotic, the objet a, and the abject. This objective necessarily involves an investigation of her relationship with Lacanian psychoanalysis, and often entails the palimpsestic project of reading Kristeva, reading Lacan, reading troubadour lyric. However, rather than simply documenting the instances of Kristeva’s engagement with lyric, the article expands the textual corpus beyond the lyrics analysed by Lacan and Kristeva in order to outline various ways in which the three textual corpora might illuminate, critique, and speak (back) to each other. The first section suggests that the works of Jaufre Rudel and Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, poets neglected by Kristeva and Lacan, might offer certain compromises between the two theorists on the subject of the semiotic. Focussing on the Thing and objet a, the second section formulates readings of a lyric by Bernart de Ventadorn, exploring ways in which Kristeva’s work might be seen to converge and diverge with both Lacanian and feminist reading practices. The article’s final part argues that the lyrics of the trobairitz suggest new, feminist possibilities for the abject.","PeriodicalId":41864,"journal":{"name":"Romance Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"122 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02639904.2018.1507295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44359099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Banlieue narratives: voicing the French urban periphery","authors":"Christina Horvath","doi":"10.1080/02639904.2018.1457820","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02639904.2018.1457820","url":null,"abstract":"In the wake of the severe urban unrest that hit France in the 2000s, the banlieues have become the centre of sustained public attention as well as a narrative effervescence. Discourses produced by politicians, journalists, urban planners, social scientists, novelists, film-makers, hip-hop artists and stand-up comedians have since addressed urban marginality from a variety of angles. In mainstream media and political discourse, multi-ethnic suburban housing estates have mainly been depicted as menacing spaces that erode the cohesion of the nation and threaten both French national identity and Republican integrity. In 2005, Nicolas Sarkozy called banlieue youth ‘scum’ and ‘riff-raff’. He attributed rioting to the presence of organized gangs and promised to clean the suburbs with a ‘high-pressure cleaner’. Ten years later, in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attacks, Manuel Valls spoke about ‘ghettos’ and ‘territorial, social and ethnic apartheid’ in the French suburbs. The abrasive tone of these political discourses has contributed to the deteriorating image of banlieues in the collective imagination. Other discourses, on the contrary, have attempted to destigmatize working-class suburbs by establishing a different perspective on identity, communities, local and national belonging and urban renovation. In a context of enduring turmoil and debate it was not surprising to see the emergence of new narratives which undertook to explore the French urban periphery from within, focusing on the experience of those living on the margins and investigating their cultural practices, memory, access to political representation and affective appropriation of the urban space. These narratives, which appeared simultaneously in literature, film, music and other cultural forms, were distinctively original in their tone, aesthetics and aims. Critics acknowledged their novelty by using labels such as ‘urban’ or ‘banlieue’ in order to differentiate them from the works of previous generations. These designations simultaneously referred to the production’s geographic setting, main theme and place of enunciation, which coincided in the case of most authors. However, the labels ‘banlieue literature’ or ‘banlieue film’ have never been explicitly claimed by the creators themselves. Targeting universal rather than exclusively local audiences, they have been cautious about being assigned to a peripheral position owing to their social origins, place of residence or marginal status within what Bourdieu termed the field of cultural production in France (1993). Nevertheless, the banlieue narrative has attracted considerable scholarly attention, in particular over the last decade. It has been discussed at an array of interdisciplinary conferences focusing on French banlieues, such as Communities at the Periphery held in 2013 at the Institut Français in London or The Banlieue Far from the Clichés, organized in Oxford in 2014.
