This interdisciplinary study adds to earlier approaches by examining the ways in which Zola’s novel anticipates strands of contemporary behavioural finance, notably in its analysis of the psychological and social conditions behind ‘irrational exuberance’ and a speculative stock-market bubble. A few avenues are explored, inspired by Robert Shiller’s Irrational Exuberance: precipitating factors, amplification mechanisms, news media, individual investor psychology, herding. The novel reflects contemporary thinking from behavioural finance, but goes further, in its greater human depth, its humour and complexity. Moreover, the novel displays, beyond behavioural finance, a conjunction of financial exuberance with bodily, philosophical, and artistic jouissance, further anticipating modern times.","PeriodicalId":43650,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH STUDIES","volume":" 45","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291669","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}

Bergson emphasizes the nature of laughter as a travelling sound, whose echoes fleetingly define the borders of a social group. This helps us articulate why laughter is associated with experiences of both exclusion and inclusion, especially for non-heterosexual individuals. However, Bergson’s work also opens the fraught question of who is laughing with whom in the case of Colette and Willy’s popular co-authored novels. I argue that both authors have a role in offering — and seeking to retract — parodic subversions of normative heterosexuality, which nevertheless remain available for new and unexpected groupings of readers. I also emphasize the importance of laughter in Claudine’s experience of sexuality, suggesting that it may reveal more than her often-cited desiring gaze.","PeriodicalId":43650,"journal":{"name":"FRENCH STUDIES","volume":" 40","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135292468","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}
