“Ce Viol Brutal… La Fit Ensuite Se Mépriser”: Rape Culture In La Curée, Juliana Starr Jan 2021

“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 …

Sino Evil − See No Evil: Graphic Violence In Octave Mirbeau And Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr Jan 2018

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 Dec 2014

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 …

Less Is Gore: Graphic Violence In The Fiction Of Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr Jan 2013

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 May 2011

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 Jan 2009

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 …


Displacement In French/Displacement Of French: The Reggae And R’N’B Of Tiken Jah Fakoly And Corneille, Olivier Bourderionnet Jan 2008

Displacement In French/Displacement Of French: The Reggae And R’N’B Of Tiken Jah Fakoly And Corneille, Olivier Bourderionnet

Foreign Languages Faculty Publications

This paper examines the work and situations of two francophone singer-songwriters from Africa, Tiken Jah Fakoly and Corneille, through the notion of displacement. I attempt to answer important questions regarding language, identity, and the social role of the African pop artist in France and the francophone world. Tiken Jah Fakoly and Corneille embody the mediation between publics from two continents and the global music industry in a particular geopolitical context. They also belong to a generation of artists whose productions signal a shift in French popular music representations of Africa and Africans. Discussing these artists’ choice to sing in French …
