Adultery and Fidelity in the Lais of Marie de France
Using both literary and historical analysis, I will examine contrasting depictions of adultery and fidelity within the lais written by 12th-century poet Marie de France. A lai is a type of narrative poem, ranging in length from 118 to 1184 lines. Many of Marie de France’s lais follow the literary trope known as courtly love; however, the reader is encouraged to sympathize with different characters depending on the lai. In some lais, the reader …
La Princesse Adrosis Fille De L'Empereur Hadrien: Sainte Et Martyre, Laila Fares
La Princesse Adrosis Fille De L'Empereur Hadrien: Sainte Et Martyre, Laila Fares
Showcase of Faculty Scholarly & Creative Activity
Le présent ouvrage est l’ensemble de leçons hebdomadaires que j’enseignai il y a quatorze ans. Le vif intérêt que témoignèrent mes étudiants à la princesse Adrosis m’avait encouragé à poursuivre l’histoire en prose, au-delà du petit poème que j’avais composé en 2003 au jour de sa fête célébrée au synexaire copte le 18 Hathor. Les questions de compréhension et de réflexion qui suivent chaque leçon peuvent servir dans un but didactique ou ludique. Vous pouvez en faire une activité de loisir ou d’enseignement pour l’édification et le développement spirituel de vos étudiants. L’histoire de la princesse Adrosis relève de l’histoire …
God, Nature, And Man In Justine, Kayley R. Roberson
God, Nature, And Man In Justine, Kayley R. Roberson
Georgia College Student Research Events
In the French Enlightenment writer the Marquis de Sade’s best-known novel, Justine, issues surrounding God, nature, and humankind pose significant problems for the protagonist of the story. Sade’s materialist philosophical work affirms his belief that nature is the most influential factor in the lives of humans and that God does not exist. Sade states that violence, immorality, and vice derive from nature and exist as the basic instincts of man. He argues that these temptations must be praised rather than forbidden. While Justine, the virtuous title character, faces corruption at every turn, she refuses to concede victory to the depravities …
Twenty-First Century Representations Of Albert Camus’S “L’Hôte”, Roland R. Buchta
Twenty-First Century Representations Of Albert Camus’S “L’Hôte”, Roland R. Buchta
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
Albert Camus, an Algerian-born French writer, philosopher, and winner of the 1957 Nobel Prize in literature, had a significant impact on 20th-century world literature and philosophical thought. Even today, Camus’s essays, novels, plays, and short stories remain relevant and compelling. More recent adaptations of his work incorporate such important themes as the meaning of life and death, French colonialism and practices, and basic human rights. This presentation examines the short story L’Hôte (Eng. The Guest) (1957) from Camus’s the Exile and the Kingdom collection, as well as the graphic novel L’Hôte (2009) by Jacques Ferrandez, and the …
From Debussy To Duke: A Look At The Role Of Music, Race, And Sexuality In The Works Of Dany Laferrière, Kendall Smith
From Debussy To Duke: A Look At The Role Of Music, Race, And Sexuality In The Works Of Dany Laferrière, Kendall Smith
Celebration of Learning
Music is used every day as a way of expression. Dany Laferrière, a Haitian born author, uses music in his works to give the reader an idea of racial stereotypes of the black man and white women. The two books that will be the focus of this paper are Comment faire l’amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer (How to Make Love to a Black Man Without Getting Tired) and Vers le Sud (Heading South), which use jazz and classical music, respectively. Jazz music, specifically Duke Ellington, is used to show men’s and women’s sexuality through the lyrics and history …
La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou
La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou
South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)
La société algérienne pendant et après la guerre de révolution a subi des changements significatifs et de divers ordres. Les Enfants du nouveau monde d’Assia Djebar en est une très forte illustration. La tradition socioculturelle algérienne recommande à la femme algérienne le port du voile. En faisant ressortir la thématique du voile dans la tradition maghrébine, Djebar montre à travers son roman la façon dont la situation s’applique à la femme algérienne. Aussi, une métaphore du voile et du dévoilement ressort de sa description du rapport de pouvoirs entre la femme et l’homme; entre la femme et le pouvoir sociopolitique …
La Représentation Des Femmes Dans Perceval, Lisa Ames
La Représentation Des Femmes Dans Perceval, Lisa Ames
Syracuse University French Colloquium
Perceval ou le conte du Graal de Chrétien de Troyes est un poème qui trace le développement d'un des chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Ce poème inclut aussi le récit d'un autre chevalier: Gauvain. Pendant beaucoup de ces épisodes, les deux chevaliers rencontrent et aident de nombreuses filles ou femmes. La fonction de la présence de ces femmes ainsi que ce qu'elle disent aux chevaliers est pluridimensionnelle. Cette étude va alors souligner quelques cas où les femmes ou bien leur discours a une fonction spécifique dans le poème.
Comme Pas Deux: France In The Sixties, Barbara Opar
Comme Pas Deux: France In The Sixties, Barbara Opar
Syracuse University French Colloquium
Many of the iconic images of the life and times of the sixties are associated with the United States. But France nonetheless was subject to some of the same cultural changes as the rest of the world. In certain ways, France paralleled what was happening in the rest of the world; in other ways the changes were different, or slower or occasionally even took place faster.
La Rivalité Et La Collectivité Féminine Dans Le Misanthrope De Molière Et Dans La Déclaration Des Droits De La Femme Et De La Citoyenne D’Olympe De Gouges, Gabriela Paris
Syracuse University French Colloquium
La période avant la révolution française s'appelle l’Ancien Régime, système politique en France qui prend fin en 1789, l’année de la révolution. En plus, la monarchie absolue contrôlait le pays de manière despotique. C’est dans cet environnement de tension que Molière, dramaturge français du 17e siècle, écrit Le Misanthrope en 1666. Dans son oeuvre théâtrale Le Misanthrope, il critique les moeurs sociales qui caractérisaient la France de l’époque. Molière évoque un questionnement social qui se voit de manière préliminaire dans son oeuvre. En revanche, De Gouges, qui écrit en 1791, expose des questionnements plus élaborés que ceux de Molière.
Georges Bataille, Philosopher Of Laughter, Troy M. Bordun
Georges Bataille, Philosopher Of Laughter, Troy M. Bordun
Modern Languages and Literatures Annual Graduate Conference
Why is it that when we laugh – not at jokes or to patronize – but when we laugh ecstatically and drift away from the self that seemed to constitute the majority of waking life, we feel free, at ease? And why is it, asked Georges Bataille, that after this ecstatic moment we come back to the mundane everyday with the feeling of a new and ineffable knowledge about human existence?
In this paper I present Bataille on laughter and its merits as a philosophical project. Laughter is an experience to be theorized and a praxis aiding in our pursuit …

An in-depth look at the original production of Jean Giraudoux's play Tiger at the Gates, how it had become such a famous performance, and how some of the intents of the playwright were not easily translated from French to English.
