Following the original, Scarron narrates the adventures of a cross-dressing heroine who becomes a trusted aide-de-camp to the emperor, but eventually gives up all her (male) titles and military rewards to marry the man she loves. Upon marrying her, the latter in turn replaces her as viceroy of Valencia. The main narrator ostensibly delegates the function of translator and narrator to one of his male characters, whereas in Part One (1651), he asserted, through metaleptic devices, that he was the actual author of the tale as the reader read it. Scarron, who, as a translator, was familiar with Zayas as well as other early seventeenth-century Spanish novella writers, introduced changes which ultimately contribute to the containment of the potential threat posed by powerful female characters. In the process, he effectively restores the male-dominated hierarchy the protagonist risked undermining. Whereas cross-dressing and the connection with the Orient of the protagonist, abducted to Fez before she returns to Spain in man’s clothing, seem to point to unstable identities, the insertion of Le Juge de sa propre cause ultimately promotes a return to the norm.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"156 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106814Z.00000000047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65824542","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}

En effet, à la lecture des commentateurs de Racine, l’on ne peut que rester perplexe face à l’image antithétique qui émerge de l’héroïne de la pièce, décrite tour à tour comme une bonne mère ou une mauvaise mère; une femme déconnectée de la réalité qui vit dans le passé ou un être rusé; la veuve fidèle d’Hector ou une coquette, voire une amoureuse (secrète) de Pyrrhus.

Dès leur arrivée, cette clientèle autochtone va s’enrichir de celle des jeunes filles de colons. Ces deux populations d’élèves vont présenter aux religieuses des problèmes de nature bien différente au fil des années. Nous allons, dans cette étude, nous pencher sur quelques difficultés majeures rencontrées par les ursulines dans leur œuvre éducative. Certaines difficultés découlent de la nature de leur mission, le fait par exemple qu’elles soient cloîtrées dans un pays encore essentiellement inexploré. D’autres trouvent leur origine dans la méconnaissance par les sœurs des mœurs amérindiennes et de la psychologie autochtone. Une difficulté supplémentaire découle du fait que les religieuses ne comprennent pas bien l’esprit des filles des colons, des jeunes filles qu’elles vont rapidement trouver très déniaisées et libertines. En réalité, beaucoup des difficultés rencontrées par les ursulines vont reposer sur des malentendus culturels et, en particulier, un malentendu linguistique en ce qui concerne la communication avec les autochtones, un malentendu linguistique qui va compliquer l’effort d’évangélisation.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"109 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106814Z.00000000044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65824363","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}

However, the fullest expression of this heterosocial paradigm can be found not in the novels for which she remains most well-known, but in the Conversations, her final published literary output. This article analyzes the description of a particular object, a lady’s fan, found in the Conversations’ chapter on friendship (1686). When we see the fan in both its historical and literary context, we see that the Conversations are also quite possibly the chef d’oeuvre of Scudéry’s literary career, the point at which, for the first time, her life-long concerns about the power of women to participate in the sociable world of the seventeenth-century letters unfold from within the frame of philia rather than of eros. The ‘friendship’ fan diverts readerly attention from Scudéry’s novels as it gestures toward a new, self-sustaining and self-renewing form of mixed-gender sociability. Through it, Scudéry artfully fashions a ‘new’ and ‘pleasing’ life in and of words for seventeenth-century women.","PeriodicalId":88312,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth-century French studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"17 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0265106814Z.00000000035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65823574","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}
