Corpus Intactum: La Subversion Corpotextuelle Féminine Des Constructions De Dualité Et D'Objectivité Du Discours Colonialiste Dans "Le Pied De Momie" Et "Le Roman De La Momie" De Théophile Gautier, Hannah R. Swan
Scripps Senior Theses
In “Corpus Intactum,” I explore the possibility for the subversion of dominant orientalist narratives in Théophile Gautier’s short story “Le Pied de momie” and his later novel, “Le Roman de la momie”. I propose that Gautier’s works demonstrate the beginnings of colonialist critique, but that his capacity for subversion is ultimately hampered by the constraints of popular orientalist discourse. I argue, nevertheless, that through a figurative conflation of the feminine mummified body with the text that at once writes her and exists within her own narrative, Gautier is able to subvert the systems of domination within orientalist academic discourse. The …

Jean Cocteau: Orpheus Narcissus, Gordon Elliott Walker
LSU Master's Theses
Over the course of thirty years, the poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau created a singular artistic project he called the Orphic trilogy: Le Sang d’un poète (1930), Orphée (1950), and Le Testament d’Orphée (1959). This trilogy is marked by an Orphic pattern of a poet’s journey into an underworld to confront death. I will show that Cocteau’s invention is to have Orpheus be in love with death, for death to be an attractive and irresistible force to the poet. Simultaneously, Cocteau avails himself of the Narcissus myth, the man in love with his own reflection. Orpheus and Narcissus converge in …

[Introduction To] The Other Rise Of The Novel In Eighteenth- Century French Fiction, Olivier M. Delers
Bookshelf
The rise of the novel paradigm—and the underlying homology between the rise of a bourgeois middle class and the coming of age of a new literary genre—continues to influence the way we analyze economic discourse in the eighteenth-century French novel. Characters are often seen as portraying bourgeois values, even when historiographical evidence points to the virtual absence of a self-conscious and coherent bourgeoisie in France in the early modern period. Likewise, the fact that the nobility was a dynamic and diverse group whose members had learned to think in individualistic and meritocratic terms as a result of courtly politics is …

Du Mythe Au Dialogue: Sade Et L'Érotisme Surréaliste, Olivier M. Delers
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
Avec la peinture, la photographie et le dessin, le surréalisme parvient progressivement à s'éloigner d'une conception trop idéologique du travail de Sade et à engager un dialogue à la fois esthétique et politique entre l'univers érotique surréaliste et la représentation sadienne d'une sexualité qui s'affranchit de toute norme sociale. Man Ray, par l'étendue et la variété des sujets qu'il traite, fait office de figure centrale dans ce mouvement du mythe au dialogue. De ses portraits « imaginaires » du Marquis, à l'illustration du roman Aline et Valcour, aux photographies de figurines en bois faisant référence à des thématiques sadiennes, …

The Corinthian
Pendant la révolution de 1789, de nombreux changements sociaux, politiques, et intellectuels ont eu lieu. Au début, les hommes étaient de la partie dominante de la révolution, mais il y avait une forte voix féminines dans la révolution. La Déclaration des Droits de la Femme et du Citoyen par Olympe de Gouge et De la Littérature Considérée dans ses Rapports avec les institutions sociales par Germaine de Staël sont deux textes importants qui symbolisent cette voix. Sans nombreux droits naturels sous l’absolutisme et les premières années de la révolution dominées par les hommes, les femmes écrivains français étaient les vraies …

Le Jeune Dreams Of Moose: Altered States Among The Montagnais In The Jesuit Relations Of 1634, Drew Lopenzina
English Faculty Publications
This article explores ruptures of colonial representation in the 1634 contribution of Paul Le Jeune to the Jesuit Relations, particularly in regard to Le Jeune’s intense antipathy to the faith Native Americans placed in dreams and dream interpretation. Native peoples had highly ritualized frameworks for interpreting dreams that stood in stark opposition to the expressed evangelical agendas of the Jesuits. The Montagnais, with whom Le Jeune wintered in 1633–34, used dreams to speak to manitous, who would assist them in finding game and other endeavors. Dreaming itself, with its claims to prophetic vision, was a phenomenon that threatened to override …

Troubadours, Taxidermy, And Transcendence: Reading Flaubert’S “Un Cœur Simple” With Sand’S “Les Ailes De Courage”, Kate Bonin
Modern Languages and Cultures Faculty Work
Gustave Flaubert’s famous tale “Un cœur simple” (1877) is in very close dialogue with a recent tale of his friend George Sand’s: “Les ailes de courage” (1872). Both works share an interest in the “éducation littéraire” and in the moral development of their illiterate main characters. Drawing on the eighteenth-century Rousseauistic concept of “l’enfant de la nature,” both Sand and Flaubert ask how a naïve or unschooled protagonist, attempting to make sense of his or her experience, responds to the weight of received culture: an intertextual relationship that merits more detailed study than it has previously received.

Scripps Senior Theses
Cette thèse analyse la relation entre la préservation des jardins historiques et l’identité nationale. Pour les français, leurs jardins historiques sont une source de fierté. Cette thèse va analyser comment cette place d’importance dans la narrative nationale peut influencer la préservation des jardins historiques. Les trois sites de Vaux le Vicomte, le Potager du Roi à Versailles, et Champ de Bataille servent de mieux comprendre le rôle de l’histoire dans les efforts de préservation. Vaux le Vicomte illustre l’importance de la préservation sur comment nous percevons les sites historiques. Cette site était en tres mauvais état mais avec beaucoup d’efforts …

La Jeunesse Et La Quête De Soi Un Scénarimage D'Un Remake, Brenda C. Crosby
French
Students most often see films as a consumable and not a resource from which one can learn about themselves and others. Students make a ten-image storyboard demonstrating a cultural adaptation, “une transposition culturelle”, for an American audience of one of the films. Non-historical films are better suited to this storyboard for a remake project. The cultural adaptation must demonstrate a very clear connection to American culture, experiences, and sensibilities, remain true to film’s original intent, and changes must be clear and logical. The characters’ roles, role of society and/or culture, setting (time and space), and ending must be clear and …

Poetry Inspired By Art, Brenda Crosby
French
The activity is part of an Art, Beauty, and Aesthetics unit. First, students read a short text about the notion of the window, and how looking through a window frames or changes our perspective. Students then read and analyze Charles Baudelaire’s prose poem “Les fenêtres”. Students are provided copies of teacher selected paintings and photographs, each of which features a window. In class, they write any words that the image evokes for them. From this initial writing, they write an original poem inspired by the painting or photo. This activity encourages vocabulary development, close observation of one work of art, …

Examining Prejudice And Discrimination Using Moi, Raciste!?, Brenda C. Crosby
French
This activity can be included in units related to, for example, WWII and personal identity. The inspiration for the activity comes from the book Moi, raciste!?, published in 1998 by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities. This book of a series of cartoons, each examining the themes of racism, discrimination, and prejudice. Students are given the charge of updating the book by creating a new page that reflects the current challenges related to racism. The publication is available in English as well. The documents provided are for an advanced high school French class.
