Werbe","doi":"10.1353/frf.2020.0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/frf.2020.0003","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article examines how Charlotte Delbo, a concentration camp survivor and resistance member, employs a structure of comparison in Les Belles lettres (1961) and in Mesure de nos jours (1971). In the former, Delbo recirculates letters about the Algerian War that were published in the French media between 1959-1961. In these letters, World War II is frequently invoked as a point of reference, setting up a structure of juxtaposition between it and the conflict in North Africa. While event and event are compared in Les Belles lettres, testimony and testimony are compared in Mesure de nos jours, a volume comprised of brief testimonial vignettes describing the process of reintegration in France after the Holocaust. Although Les Belles lettres is generically and thematically distinct from Mesure de nos jours, its composition offers insight into the ways that Delbo stages comparison as a process.While the benefits and drawbacks of drawing comparisons between the Holocaust and other events have been subject to extensive debate, this article explores acts of comparison with regard to Holocaust literary testimony, a genre predicated on a certain degree of incomparability by virtue of its mission to communicate personal experience(s). Through a close-reading of juxtaposition and cross-reference in Mesure de nos jours, I argue that Delbo offers a conceptual apparatus for integrating disparate and conflicting recollections into a single continuous act of memory. I contend that the staging of contrasting dialogue in Mesure de nos jours not only accounts for, but builds contradiction and discrepancy into the form of testimony itself, thus allowing for difference to enrich, rather than diminish, what it means to bear witness.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"53 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43756669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rosenberg","doi":"10.1353/frf.2020.0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/frf.2020.0002","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:The tactile experience plays a major role in Paul Valéry's work. In Valéry's view, touch, or tactility takes part in the aesthetic experience not only at the immediate level, as an actual sensation, but also at the imaginary level, as a virtual experience which shapes human perception and consciousness. The very movement of the hand and the body, and its interaction with objects, endow the creative action with contingency and unpredictability. This notion of tactility is used by Valéry to emphasize the fragmented and discontinuous nature of the creative process, which eludes prior models and intentions. Most originally, Valéry frames touch as endowing matter with a certain temporal sequence or rhythm, rhythm which then proceeds to \"infect\" the recipients of the work. The article draws on late 19th and early 20th century discourse on tactility and temporality, in the domains of poetics, science, and technology, in order to contextualize Valéry's ideas and to stress their synthetic value and their originality. Special attention is given to Valéry's essay on Degas, as a piece which showcases this notion of tactility, both at the explicit level, in Valéry's analysis of Degas' work and method, and at the formal level, as a way to participate and pursue the painter's immanent rhythm.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"33 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41471599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Names have nonetheless been privileged as that which humanizes the experience and subsumes affectless questions of scale to the personal. Writing at a time when AIDS was transitioning from a fatal epidemic to a chronic disease, Catherine Mavrikakis uses a fictocritical approach in Deuils cannibales et mélancoliques (2000) to relay for readers the receding experience of AIDS as an epidemic. A singular name, Hervé, an intertextual reference to the work of Hervé Guibert and Mavrikakis' own scholarship on Guibert's AIDS writings, functions as an indexical sign. Through repetition and conferral upon multiple (mostly HIV-positive) characters, Hervé – as name – becomes the metonymic means by which the coldness of numbers and the weight of mass tragedy are made appreciable, for the name acquires new semantic meaning through disassociation with individual characters. Breaking with conventions of naming and characterisation, Mavrikakis' complex and confusing text challenges readers to make sense of the interplay of names and numbers, individuals and groups, in memorial practices for what has become an endemic tragedy.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"67 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41804267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Verbalization and Corporality in the Poetry of Christian Prigent","authors":"Peter Poiana","doi":"10.1353/frf.2020.0007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/frf.2020.0007","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:The poetry of Christian Prigent focuses on the act of articulation involving both the body as a site of muscular movements and language as a codified system. This act is captured in the figure of the œuvide as a conflation of œuvre / œuf and vide insofar it conforms to the structure of desire and the void that lies at its centre. The study aims to gauge the significance of the œuvide by taking into account Prigent's theoretical and critical writings, including his explicit reference to Lacan. It proceeds by introducing two concepts that Prigent does not often refer to, namely full speech and imaginary excess, with the aim of showing how the melding of verbalization and corporality functions in Prigent's now substantial body of poetic work. Full speech appears in its association with the void around which Prigent's poetry gravitates in line with the negative logic of desire, and imaginary excess accounts for the role of the fantasized body and the constant interplay of body parts in the context of a poetic strategy that seeks to foreground the physical site of verbal emission. The notion of sceptical Cratylism is introduced to round out the analysis, specifically by demonstrating how Prigent, in presenting his version of verbal embodiment, avoids reducing the body to either the rule of representation or the idea of nature.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"111 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48718852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Les Années serait dès lors à lire aussi comme le récit de son propre avènement. Cet aspect se manifesterait tout particulièrement par l'importance croissante des références à la Recherche proustienne, qui consiste en l'histoire de sa propre émergence.Abstract:This articles examines the ambivalent passages which separate, in Annie Ernaux's Les Années, the photographic descriptions from the narration. It supports the idea that these undefinable passages reveal, apart from he book's stated aim – constituting the autobiography of an era – another crucial issue allowing us to read Les Années as the story of a vocation as a writer. We should then read Les Années as the story of its own birth. This dimension becomes apparent in the book with the growing importance of references to Proust's Recherche, which tells the story of it's own emergence.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"83 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47335049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plusieurs critiques, dont Eve Sedgwick, distinguent dans ce blason de la fontaine une allégorie de la lecture. Cet article commence par une analyse de l'ekphrasis de ce jet d'eau dans la Recherche, puis contraste la lecture de Georges Poulet, qui recourt également à l'image de la fontaine, et celle d'Eve Sedgwick, notamment en ce qui a trait à la notion de temps. Contrairement à l'universalisme existentialiste de Poulet, Sedgwick introduit un point de vue typiquement féministe et queer. L'auteur ensuite démontre comment cette autre allégorie de la lecture et de la Recherche s'inscrit dans le prolongement du travail de Paul de Man. Enfin, l'auteur met en évidence comment le blason de la fontaine chez Sedgwick s'appuie sur ses lectures précédentes de Proust dans Epistemology of the Closet et fait écho à une autre allégorie : celle du placard de lecture. On peut ainsi retracer les métamorphoses de la théorie queer. La lecture par Sedgwick de l'allégorie de la fontaine met en évidence comment la théorie queer mène d'une critique systématique des caractérisations normatives de la sexualité à une déconstruction du sujet moderne qu'elles présupposent.","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"45 1","pages":"17 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/frf.2020.0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47843885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
