I first establish that the Memoirs’ epistolary narrator (rather than the narrated subject) is the primary participant in the book’s erotic scenes, and then situate these representations of sex in relation to the writing body described by eighteenth-century penmanship manuals. While previous accounts of the early modern penman have emphasized how the writing body was produced through a pedagogy that disciplined that body into abasement, analyzing the penman in Cleland’s pornography allows me to trace how this discipline could be perverted to create experiences of pleasure. In the Memoirs, these pleasures issue from scenes of erotic play that use disciplinary instruments and pedagogic technologies to shape the body into unstable new configurations: forms that exceed the limits of supposedly fixed categories of being.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"23 1","pages":"375 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74916464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay focuses on two English versions which radically altered the tale in ways that reflected new developments in English prose fiction. Between 1688 and 1789 the picaro is first transformed into a sentimentalized protagonist who longs for the comforts of domesticity, and then into one who seems to prefigure the heroes of the nascent Bildungsroman. These transformations repeatedly cast Lazarillo anew as a forerunner of the latest trends in novelistic fiction, revealing in the process not just the abiding relevance of this old Spanish tale, but an emergent literary history of the novel that was beginning to coalesce along with the genre itself.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"112 1","pages":"399 - 417"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87627716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I compare anti-slavery writers, who stressed the grave threats facing these kinships, with pro-planter advocates, who perceived familial affection as a tool for placating rebellion. I then argue that literary accounts of slaves willing to kill themselves or their loved ones to defend kinship bonds ultimately minimize the revolutionary implications of slave violence. By isolating such bloodshed to the private, and not the public, sphere, these texts imply that slaves were primarily concerned with their domestic lives and not with their political bondage. I conclude by suggesting that these accounts of tragic heroism, circumscribed as they may be, nonetheless pave the way for increasingly political representations of slave violence towards the mid-eighteenth century.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"87 2 1","pages":"311 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89517632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Calculating Shylock: Commerce, Captivity, and the Free-Born Subject 算计夏洛克:商业、囚禁和生来自由的主体

Havard","doi":"10.1353/ecy.2019.0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ecy.2019.0018","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:This essay argues that George Granville's adaptation of The Merchant of Venice (1701) exploited the significance of imperiled liberty to Shakespeare's original play. The drama around Shylock acquired both a new shape and sharpened significance, the essay proposes, in relation to changing ideas about individual and collective freedom—questions that recent developments supplied with both acutely personal and more broadly politicized significance for early eighteenth-century theatergoers. Building upon precedents including John Dryden's Amboyna (1673) and Thomas Southerne's Oroonoko (1695), the adaptation of Shakespeare's play that held the stage for the opening decades of the eighteenth century appeared at a moment of expanding global commerce as well as the pervasive unfreedom, bondage, and violence that was the corollary of that trade. At a moment when appeals to English liberty were ever more trenchantly asserted, even as unfreedom became more pervasive and stringently enforced, the adapted play channeled the dynamics of Shakespeare's drama, this essay sets out to show, into an affirmative staging of the English subject, in which freedom appeared as an undisputed but precariously maintained birthright in ways that looked back to Magna Carta and ahead to the American Declaration of Independence.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"1 1","pages":"331 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78829868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout the long nineteenth century, the British critique of kowtow began with a defense of courtly civility and developed itself into an Orientalist discourse on civilization, placing an assumed hierarchy between the standing Victorian gentleman and the prostrating Chinese slave. Paradoxically, such imperial pedagogy lent the Chinese republicans and revolutionaries a language of articulating individual autonomy and social equality in pursuit of a modern China. Following this dialectic of ideology and utopia, the essay further examines and reassesses the dual role of Orientalism in shaping China's semi-colonial modernity.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"30 1","pages":"269 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ecy.2019.0022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72529536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After securing a safe dwelling space, Crusoe first and foremost builds what he calls his \"necessary things\"—namely, a table and chair—for he \"could not write, or eat, or do several things with so much pleasure without a table.\" By singling out writing and eating, two activities long associated with traditional humanist beliefs and attitudes, Crusoe indicates that his table will exist as an assurance of his humanity within an otherwise \"wild\" context. This article traces the concomitant construction and deconstruction of that table, which though embodying humanism on the island, eventually becomes the principal site of alterity and difference. Indeed, shortly after finishing the project, Crusoe invites not only animals to join him at the table, but also Catholics, non-Christians, and, yet more remarkably, cannibals. For Defoe the Dissenter and Crusoe the deserted, the table becomes a space in which the novel can reconsider, in proto-posthumanist fashion, the religious, humanist, and dietary discourses of its day.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"88 1","pages":"293 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73832906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
