It discusses the importance of care and respect, as well as connection and exchange, as exemplified by Barbara. The tribute argues that a deep curiosity about people and about the past characterized Barbara's life and work. It draws on memories from Barbara's friends and the author's own personal relationship to show how, in both big and small ways, Barbara shaped academia and its people. It highlights how modern-day universities could benefit from taking a closer look at Barbara's exceptional professional and personal legacy.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"27 1","pages":"88 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43051622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes a Decadent theory of self-destruction that decentres the physical act itself. Suicide, in Decadence, functions as a type of escapism, mobilising the idea of death without actually engaging with it. By exploring works of Decadent authors such in the French tradition, this article extrapolates a Decadent positionality to suicide; by casting decadence as indefinitely deferring the instantaneous into the eternal, suicide becomes an abstract horizon, rather than an existential threat.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"27 1","pages":"67 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45999620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review sets aside the standard sub-disciplinary categories in order to envision a laboratorium, a space of multiple confluent and contiguous lines of exploratory work. In this space, more fluid thematic connections surface between projects irrespective of their focus, their methodology, or their scale, revealing some of the major transversal routes of research across the recent past and the present, and, speculatively, into the future.

In both authors, landscape is integrated with a subjective geography; nevertheless, while Ruskin absorbs objective topography into a personal narrative, Proust's sense of communality allows his landscapes to transcend the dimension of a mere solipsism. Finally, the exploration of Ruskin's and Proust's landscape writing testifies to a spatial shift based on the increased awareness of the fracture between the self and the world in modernist literature.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"27 1","pages":"50 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49610496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper argues that Quicherat should be recognized as the founder of French dress studies, and that his book, Histoire du costume en France, depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'à la fin du XVIIIe siècle (1875), is a key text that established a method, theory, and framework for understanding dress history.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"26 1","pages":"263 - 281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41603358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Fashion’s Soft Power in Nineteenth-Century France: Introduction","authors":"Susan Hiner","doi":"10.1080/14787318.2023.2166860","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14787318.2023.2166860","url":null,"abstract":"Fashion and power have been inextricably linked in France at least since sumptuary laws were enacted in the Middle Ages to regulate the consumption and display of wealth and grandeur. As Montaigne astutely pointed out in his essay entitled ‘Des lois somptuaires,’ however, as with anything governed by desire, interdiction only enhanced fashion’s power, and sumptuary laws in France lost their teeth well before the National Assembly abolished them in 1793 (Fairchilds, 2000 419). By the nineteenth century, sumptuary laws had long been replaced by fashion’s own laws; endlessly changeable rules dictated by the oracles of a fashion press vying for advertising revenues were anxiously followed by a public of women and men eager to situate themselves within a shifting social landscape. Distinction was the new, more nuanced bras de fer, and fashion was its velvet glove. Fashion’s soft power thus functioned not only as the foreign policy tool of France’s political and economic will, as it had been so deftly deployed by French monarchs for centuries to ensure the success of domestic production and colonial expansion, but now it had also penetrated the domestic zone to shape French society, politics, national identity, gender roles, and history itself. The term ‘soft power’ originated as a political theory used to explain how attractiveness and forms of cultural branding can co-opt, influence, and dominate social and national behaviours. While it may have its roots in the discourse of diplomacy, the term can also be fruitfully applied to an exploration of the ways in which fashion operated on people and shaped their behaviour, especially in the nineteenth century, when more ostensible power structures had been relegated to the realm of the ‘ancien.’ The machinations of soft power worked through the nineteenth-century French fashion system in a variety of ways, from military optics and gender politics to commercial alliances and emerging national discourses, sometimes empowering those with marginal or dubious power, but sometimes also consolidating or reflecting the regulatory powers that be. This special issue of Dix-Neuf adopts the concept of ‘soft power’ to elaborate an important vector of influence and potential resistance in nineteenth-century France: fashion discourse in its multiple forms, whether material, linguistic, visual, or epistemological. For, as the articles published here show, fashion details—from accessories and undergarments to the cut of a coat, easily overlooked but omnipresent in literature, visual and material culture, political strategy, commercial enterprise, and even historical constructions of nationhood—intersected with and shaped in key ways the evolving","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"26 1","pages":"187 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48467518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corset exemplifies the novels' concerns with good form — good form meaning both the ideal feminine silhouette and the code of bourgeois propriety. The corset abets a series of reproductive failures in the narratives and thus incarnates contemporary fears about fashion—induced dénatalité. Zola ultimately condemns the hypocrisy of social attitudes that deemed pregnancy “indecent” and underscores the danger of placing intractable constraints — whether sartorial or cultural — on the maternal body.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"26 1","pages":"243 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42109379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholarly discussions, however, have sidestepped the novel’s exploration of soft power. Clorinde Balbi, Rougon’s spurned lover, demonstrates an ability to persuade through non-coercive means by deploying a peculiar arsenal of sartorial strategies including wearing wrinkled or muddy clothing. In Le Mal propre (2008), Michel Serres argues that through dirt we appropriate space and that it ‘signe la volonté de puissance.’ Clorinde’s clothing from her urban sojourns visibly manifests her appropriation of Parisian space. Dirt, in other words, is an instrument of soft power.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"26 1","pages":"234 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49586971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a powerful tool of social discrimination, they could reveal much about the wearer’s class, character, habits and morals. Novelists and playwrights soon recognized gloves’ potent symbolism: many literary examples portray gloves as agents of seduction, corruption, deceit or humiliation.
