Polachek </li> </ul> <h2>________</h2> <p>Ce numéro rassemble douze études présentées lors du “Séminaire Marguerite de Navarre” qui eut lieu en ligne entre février et mai 2022. Ce colloque international, lancé à l’occasion du 530<sup>e</sup> anniversaire de la naissance de la sœur de François I<sup>er</sup>, avait pour but de croiser différentes perspectives de recherche sur la reine et son œuvre, dont l’intérêt ne cesse de croître avec le temps, grâce aux générations de seiziémistes qui ont mis en évidence son rôle crucial dans le monde des lettres de la Renaissance. Malgré le nombre de contributions au domaine par d’éminents chercheurs pendant les dernières décennies, il reste toujours beaucoup à dire sur les études margaritiques, y compris la langue et le style, la poétique et la rhétorique, la pensée religieuse et la spiritualité, l’influence et le rayonnement, sans perdre de vue les dimensions historique et culturelle de l’action de celle qui était en son temps nommée la “perle des Valois.”</p> <p>Les articles réunis ici empruntent différentes voies critiques pour examiner les œuvres de la reine et pour rendre hommage à la mémoire de Robert D. Cottrell (1930–2021), auquel les études margaritiques doivent tant. Dans le premier article, Nancy Frelick se penche sur les contributions de Bob Cottrell en analysant diverses approches psychanalytiques aux œuvres spirituelles et profanes de Marguerite de Navarre. Elle souligne le fait que, pour le chercheur américain, la lecture psychanalytique ne s’avère jamais biographique ou personnelle, mais plutôt textuelle, signalant les aspects rhétoriques et structurels des écrits de la reine, comme l’emploi de l’anaphore et du chiasme dans ses poèmes spéculaires dévots, <em>Le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse</em> et le <em>Miroir de Jhesus Christ crucifié</em>. De plus, les théories lacaniennes dont se sert R. Cottrell pour évoquer le désir d’accéder au divin dans la poésie religieuse de Marguerite <strong>[End Page v]</strong> confortent l’inspiration tant spirituelle qu’éthique de toutes les œuvres de la sœur de François I<sup>er</sup>.</p> <p>Le deuxième article, par Isabelle Garnier, se voue au rapport entre la correspondance (de 1521 à 1524) de Marguerite d’Angoulême, duchesse d’Alençon (la future reine de Navarre) et de son conseiller spirituel, Guillaume Briçonnet, et la première œuvre poétique importante de l’autrice, le <em>Dialogue en forme de vision nocturne</em>, qui daterait de 1524.

Abingdon/New York: Routledge, 2021, 453 pp. <p>Since 1959, when theatre director Ariane Mnouchkine founded the earliest incarnation of her company—then called the Association Théâtrale des Etudiants de Paris—the Théâtre du Soleil has created large-scale worlds and new ways of being in community on and offstage. In her acceptance speech for the 2019 Kyoto Prize, Mnouchkine described the troupe through the metaphor of “the ship, the boat, the skiff,” and offered:</p> <blockquote> <p>But still I knew that the ship would not travel if every member of the ship did not feel worthwhile, wonderful, and fulfilled, even amidst the dangers and sacrifices that the journey would necessarily demand of us at the beginning. Only at the beginning, I believed then. Now I know that this journey requires the best and deepest within each of us until the very end. Nothing can be taken for granted. Love, friendship, the audience’s respect, must continue to be cultivated every single day.<sup>1</sup></p> </blockquote> <p>Inextricable from Mnouchkine, the Soleil is known for the company’s soaring vision and stage practices which attempt to shatter Eurocentric boundaries, their long performances (a single performance can exceed ten hours), <strong>[End Page 224]</strong> commitment to puppetry, music, and dance as a way to tell epic histories, location at the Cartoucherie enclave on the eastern outskirts of Paris, international training, travel, and storytelling, and lively sumptuous and delight-filled performances both on and offstage, which include Mnouchkine herself tearing tickets and serving meals. The Soleil is a political project. The artists contribute to advocacy work, while the Soleil’s building provides shelter for refugees and <em>les sanspapiers</em>. Soleil members participate in protest actions. And the company collaborates with artists in places of crisis, such as their 2005 residency in Kabul. The company operates with a goal of “love” and “respect” and the belief that “Theatre, like art in general, is one of those places that can really improve our world, like an orange grove.”<sup>2</sup></p> <p>The Soleil’s longevity, the size and scope of their productions and vision, and the vast number of people who have inhabited what Mnouchkine calls this “little galaxy of the sun”<sup>3</sup> makes the project of writing the company’s history to date a daunting one.

New York: Bloomsbury Academic, 2020, 213 pp. <p>The poet and critic Jean-Michel Maulpoix, one of the authors whose work is given close attention in <em>Poetry’s Knowing Ignorance</em>, draws a sharp distinction between the writer and the academic. “The former writes starting from himself, [from] <em>seeking</em> and ignorance taken on,” he says, “whereas the professor requires at every moment sure references and well-established knowledge.” <strong>[End Page 219]</strong> It is one of the signal features of Joseph Acquisto’s admirable book that the author manages to combine the best traits of both: on the one hand, a searching quality and a wariness of facile or rigid conclusions, and on the other, an evident familiarity with his material that inspires the fullest confidence.</p> <p>Acquisto sets out to trace a line of thought in and about French poetry over the past two centuries, a line that has its seeds in German Romanticism and that consists in seeing ignorance not as a defect for poetry to overcome, but rather as a generative force, perhaps even a necessary condition for lyric in the modern age. After an introduction that deftly circumscribes a field of inquiry whose very nature is to resist being pinpointed, <em>Poetry’s Knowing Ignorance</em> proceeds with a handful of case studies, most of which are in the form of pairings. Chapter 1 shows how Baudelaire’s writing allows for a more nuanced conception of knowledge—and hence of poetry—than one finds in Hugo’s verse; Chapter 2 probes the unsuspected suggestiveness of Novalis’s claim that “poetry is poetry,” and leans in particular on various assertions by Paul Valéry; Chapter 3 finds Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot advancing kindred notions of poetry as a form of <em>non-savoir</em> that is constantly positing its own impossibility; Chapter 4 takes Philippe Jaccottet and Jean-Michel Maulpoix as exemplars of a distinctly modern poetry that emerges, not in spite of doubt, but within and because of it. The final chapter, meanwhile, opens out onto a broader reflection on the shared precariousness of poetry and community. Here the author mainly relies on the philosophical writings of Jacques Rancière and Jean-Luc Nancy, while also tightening the Bataille-Blanchot knot from two chapters earlier.</p> <p>Acquisto’s book is based on the premise that since the early 19th century, “poetry” has become an increasingly amorphous concept that has ceased to inhere solely in actual poems, thereby intensifying what he calls poetry’s “definitional impulse.” This accounts for the paradoxical fact that a book whose apparent focus is poetry should contain relatively little in the way of recognizab","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138581191","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}

Drawing on the scholarship of Robert Cottrell and Isabelle Garnier among others, the article first situates this specific instance of repetition within a broader framework of Marguerite’s use of repetition in her poetry and her prose and its relationship to her understanding of how human discourse can engage with the divine. The article then argues that while the word <i>bien</i> has an ostensibly positive meaning, Marguerite undermines its positive valence both in her use of it as an adjective of degree and as a noun by associating it with a broad range of both positive and negative human traits and dispositions. Thus, in the <i>Heptaméron</i>, the word <i>bien</i> comes to lose a fixed valence and comes to symbolize human discourse’s inadequacy to articulate the fundamental nature of the good, which for Marguerite is the <i>souverain bien</i> represented by God. However, Marguerite’s frequent repetition of the word <i>bien</i> in the <i>Heptaméron</i> also serves to cut through the polyvocal <i>bruit</i> of human discourse represented by the <i>devisants’</i> stories and debates, offering the reader an opportunity for meditation on the inadequacy of human discourse to represent the <i>souverain bien</i>, which can be seen as a strategy emanating from the tradition of negative theology.</p></p>","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138580971","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}

In this sentimental education for women, the heroine constantly metamorphoses as she learns: far from a figure presented as unambiguously vicious or virtuous, she evolves in a gray area rich in multiple virtualities and never ceases to amaze the reader with her speeches or her attitude. In fact, Marguerite de Navarre offers here one of the most beautiful portraits of a woman in the entire collection, a portrait in movement and a multifaceted one nourished by four different literary models—the <i>mal mariée</i>, the virile woman, the cunning woman, the lady’s advocate—which reflect the tensions of her (proto-)feminism.</p></p>","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138581043","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}

Cottrell’s significant contributions to Marguerite de Navarre studies, particularly his use of structuralist psychoanalysis, in interpreting both her spiritual and secular texts. While such an approach might seem anachronistic, Marguerite herself has been described as a fine psychologist <i>avant la lettre</i>. Her writings even had an influence on the seminars of Jacques Lacan, who confessed that the <i>Heptaméron</i> inspired him throughout his seminar on the ethics of psychoanalysis. One of the striking aspects of Cottrell’s body of work is that, for him, reading with psychoanalysis never means reading biographically: unlike some other critics, he always focuses on analyzing texts rather than the lives of their authors. Thus, we explore some of the rhetorical strategies he underscores, such as Marguerite’s use of anaphora and chiasmus, which appear to have a kind of mimetic function in her devotional mirror-poems, <i>Le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse</i> and <i>Miroir de Jhesus Christ crucifié</i>. We also analyze Cottrell’s use of Lacan’s three registers—the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real—to illuminate the desire for union between human subject and divine Object in these spiritual mirrors. Finally, we consider promising avenues opened up by Cottrell’s readings, namely the theatricality and performativity of Marguerite’s works, some of which he likens to spiritual exercises. Without a doubt, one of Cottrell’s greatest contributions is to have treated all of the queen’s writings not only as equally important, but also as flowing from a deeply spiritual source.</p></p>","PeriodicalId":42174,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH FORUM","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138581190","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}

As a corollary, I will explore what is at stake when this female uniting of forces is replaced by succumbing, often unwittingly, to competing allegiances that comprise the patriarchal strictures that characterize the world in which these protagonists circulate. The lack of female bonds characterizes <i>Nouvelle</i> 45, and the consequences, albeit recounted in a comic register, are telling. As for the comic, my goal is to focus primarily on the narrative devices that Marguerite mobilizes that transform a rape story from one that elicits terror and horror (for that, we need to turn to <i>Nouvelle</i> 2) to one that has all the markings of a text designed to spark the reader’s laughter and amusement.

The collection could not be considered pornographic or even obscene by today’s standards or those of its time, and if Marguerite foregrounds erotic desire, it is because it is an indelible part of the postlapsarian human condition. However, erotic desire becomes an end in and of itself in illustrated <i>Heptamérons</i> beginning with the <i>fin de siècle</i>. From this point on, the majority of illustrated <i>Heptamérons</i> may be classified as erotica: material designed to provide sexual stimulation but accompanied by more or less lofty artistic ambitions and marketed to wealthy men with bibliophilic inclinations. In other words, there exists alongside the tradition of scholarly editions of the <i>Heptaméron</i> a tradition in which the collection essentially becomes high-class pornography.
