“Ce Viol Brutal… La Fit Ensuite Se Mépriser”: Rape Culture In La Curée, Juliana Starr

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

Ces derniers temps, la notoriété internationale du mouvement #MeToo et d’événements hautement médiatisés tels que l’épidémie de viols en Inde et le scandale des agressions sexuelles à Liberty University a suscité un renouveau d’intérêt au sujet du viol et de la culture du viol – celle-ci étant définie comme un environnement dans lequel le viol est prévalent et où les violences sexuelles faites aux femmes sont normalisées et excusées dans les médias et la culture populaire. Le roman La Curée (1871) d’Émile Zola, qui dépeint le viol de Renée Béraud du Châtel, âgée de 19 ans, et ses conséquences durant …

Contact, Christine M. Stevralia

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

A year after Alyssa Milano’s tweet launched the #MeToo movement, survivors of sexual assault are being called ‘accusers’ in the media, and public opinion is swinging in favor of guilty men. #MeToo raised awareness but not understanding. What is rape? What is consent? As evidenced by the #MeToo movement and the backlash against it, clearly, as a society, we don’t know. Contact is a work of Creative Nonfiction that uses scenes and details from the narrator’s personal experiences to illuminate the micro-negotiations that occur in sex and seduction.

Sino Evil − See No Evil: Graphic Violence In Octave Mirbeau And Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

La fiction naturaliste est une source particulièrement fertile en représentations de la douleur et des attaques cruelles susceptibles d’être endurées par le corps humain. Si Le Jardin des supplices (1899) d’Octave Mirbeau en est un exemple relativement connu, Le Dragon impérial (1869), un bestseller de Judith Gautier, fille aînée de Théophile Gautier, est voué aujourd’hui à une obscurité relative. Cet essai s’attache à corriger cette situation en examinant la parenté particulière et jusqu’ici inexplorée qui unit les deux auteurs. Il s’avère que tous deux accordent une position proéminente au sang, à l’horreur et au macabre et qu’ils envisagent la violence …

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

Publié cinq ans avant le célèbre roman Germinal, la nouvelle moins connue L’Inondation (1880), dans laquelle le je-narrateur observe du haut d’un toit l’inondation de la Garonne qui eut lieu en 1875, résonne de manière particulièrement significative aujourd’hui chez les habitants des côtes de la Louisiane et du Mississipi, en raison de sa ressemblance frappante avec quelques-uns des récits filmographiques de l’inondation castastrophique provoquée par l’ouragan Katrina en 2005. L’un de ces films est le documentaire Trouble the Water (2008), dans lequel la rappeuse en herbe Kimberly Roberts dirige son caméscope de vingt dollars sur elle-même et ses voisins bloqués …

La Prostitution Dans La Culture Française Du Dix-Neuvième Siècle: Classe, Sexe, Et Contagion, Kelsey Callahan

Senior Honors Theses

The creation of the French Penal Code of 1791, which failed to address the legality of prostitution, and the social climate of nineteenth-century France led to the rapid development of sexual commerce. The spread of syphilitic diseases soon became a serious crisis, and the fault of the spread of syphilis and disease was quickly ascribed to purchasable women. Other social crises of the time, such as problems with sewage and the spread of disease and decay also came to be associated with prostitution. My thesis will examine ways in which male artists of the time used literature and painting to …

Less Is Gore: Graphic Violence In The Fiction Of Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

The exceptionally beautiful Judith Gautier (1845–1917), daughter of Théophile Gautier and Italian opera diva Ernesta Grisi, was raised in the epicenter of Europe’s literary and artistic avant-garde. Among the weekly visitors to her parents’ home were Flaubert, Baudelaire, Delacroix, Dumas, Taine, Mallarmé, Puivis de Chavannes, and the Goncourt brothers. She became a best-selling novelist, an early champion of Richard Wagner, a successful journalist, musicologist and art critic, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and the first woman elected to the prestigious Goncourt Academy. She was instrumental in introducing Europeans to both Chinese and Japanese poetry. Yet, despite these fascinating …

A 'Picture Perfect' Banlieue Artist: Abd Al Malik Or The Perils Of A Conciliatory Rap Discourse In France, Olivier Bourderionnet

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

This paper concentrates on the media representation of the young rapper Abd Al Malik, whose recent albums Gibraltar (2006) and Dante (2008) have been largely embraced by the Parisian elite. Along with the cultural legitimation that affords Malik’s articulate rap discourse access to a mainstream audience, questions regarding cooptation, authenticity and identity politics reveal strong divides in the French public sphere, as well as the general sense of a preordained space assigned to rap artists in the media. Malik’s artistic vision, successfully blending rap and the most aristocratic of chanson, while asserting a strong multicultural identity, comes across as …

Dancing Into The Spotlight: Louise Bertin And La Esmeralda, Juliana Starr

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

The field of musicology lags far behind literature and the visual arts in the study of its women practitioners. Indeed, it has been nearly forty years since art historian Linda Nochlin published her ground-breaking study, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" with its remarkable parallel implications for women composers. This essay attempts to address this question by studying the life and work of Louise-Angelique Bertin--the only composer to collaborate directly with Victor Hugo on an opera, the earliest French composer to write an opera based on Goethe's Faust, an artist in the middle of the biggest political and …
