Starting with the wigs at Vaubyessard, then moving to the solitary wigmaker in Tostes, who serves as a double for Emma, then to the wigmaker in Rouen, and to Emma’s wig at the masked ball, I argue that wigs’ sartorial function and material composition place them at the intersection of – or rather in the crack between – metaphor and metonymy. As such, they serve as clues to the production of the ‘livre sur rien.’","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"25 1","pages":"36 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14787318.2021.1875971","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46850373","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}

We consider courtship and seduction in the novel in the context of nineteenth-century theories of evolution. Darwin’s The Descent of Man revised the theory of natural selection to account for aesthetics in mate selection. With its focus on fashion and mating, Au Bonheur is a laboratory for Zola’s ideas about competition and display in human coupling.","PeriodicalId":53818,"journal":{"name":"Dix-Neuf","volume":"24 1","pages":"341 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14787318.2020.1859345","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47102703","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}
