Book excerpt: The Endless Theory of Days: The Art and Poetry of Gérard Titus-Carmel seeks to set forth the case for the special, multiple genius of a man who, despite the experience of a biting melancholy resulting from loss, despite an ‘indefectible feeling of estrangement from the world’, despite, too, the corrosive sense of art’s, of languages’s, deceptiveness, has never lost sight of a curious duty to the shadows that haunt and that, with now a strangeness that smiles, yet beckon toward ‘the very place, finally clarified and recognised, of pure evidence. [The place,] that is, where beauty is named’. This place, Gérard Titus-Carmel may feel, lies no doubt impossibly beyond the strict locus of his art and his writing, but it is a place he has struggled with dignity and unceasingly deployed energy to bring to a semblance of incarnation in a vast plastic and poetical oeuvre that has stirred, and will continue to stir, the minds and hearts of all those – from Derrida and Bonnefoy, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Pascal Quignard to Jacques Dupin and Marie-Claire Bancquart, and countless others – who have witnessed its exquisitely solemn unfolding over, today, more than forty years.

Download or read book Pleasure and Pain in Nineteenth Century French Literature and Culture written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sade at one end of the nineteenth century to Freud at the other, via many French novelists and poets, pleasure and pain become ever more closely entwined. Whereas the inseparability of these themes has hitherto been studied from isolated perspectives, such as psychoanalysis, sadism and sado-masochism, melancholy, or post-structuralist textual jouissance, the originality of this collaborative volume lies in its exploration of how pleasure and pain function across a broader range of contexts. The essays collected here demonstrate how the complex relationship between pleasure and pain plays a vital role in structuring nineteenth-century thinking in prose fiction (Balzac, Flaubert, Musset, Maupassant, Zola), verse and the memoir as well as socio-cultural studies, medical discourses, aesthetic theory and the visual arts. Featuring an international selection of contributors representing the full range of approaches to scholarship in nineteenth-century French studies – historical, literary, cultural, art historical, philosophical, and sociopolitical – the volume attests to the vitality, coherence and interdisciplinarity of nineteenth-century French studies and will be of interest to a wide cross-section of scholars and students of French literature, society and culture.

Book excerpt: Paul Dooz, dont on sait seulement qu'il a étudié et travaillé avec différents ressortissants étrangers, est resté très marqué par la période noire du terrorisme dans les années 1985-1986. Lorsque l'imam Jimenoz, chef du Mollaland, prononce la sentence qui condamne l'auteur d'un essai controversé sur le climat de son pays, les services anti-terroristes français sont sur les dents. Pour parvenir jusqu'à l'auteur, l'ambassade du Mollaland décide alors de recruter trois malfrats charentais.Déjouant les pronostics, ces trois pieds nickelés vont gagner la confiance de Rosanna, la fille de l'éditeur, au point d'occuper son domicile avec l'aide d'un oncle farfelu et d'une brochette de cousines délurées.Mais la situation de complique fortement : si l'ambassadeur du Mollaland en France sabote secrètement les efforts de ses compatriotes pour appliquer la sentence, la maison d'édition va être rachetée par un prête-nom, qui aura ainsi les mains libres pour trouver l'auteur abhorré.
Download or read book The Reclining Nude written by Emma Wilson and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a sensuous evocation of images of the reclining nude, claims a female-identified pleasure in looking. Agnès Varda, Catherine Breillat, and Nan Goldin are re-imagining images of female beauty, display, (auto)eroticism, and intimacy. The reclining nude is compelling, for female-identified artists in the ethically adventurous, politically complex feminist issues it engages.
Download or read book A French Song Companion written by Graham Johnson and published by Oxford : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A French Song Companion is an indispensable guide to the modern repertoire and the most comprehensive book of French melodie in any language. Noted accompanist Graham Johnson provides repertoire guides to the work of over 150 composers--the majority of them from France but including British, American, German, Spanish, and Italian musicians who have written French vocal music. The book contains major articles on Faure, Duparc, Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc, as well as essays on Bizet, Chabrier, Gounod, Chausson, Hahn, and Satie, and important reassessments of such composers as Massenet, Koechlin, and Leguerney. The book combines these articles with the complete texts in English of over 700 songs, all translated by Richard Stokes, making it also a treasury of French poetry from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. The translations alone will prove invaluable to music lovers and performers; combined with the biographical articles, they become the ideal map for exploring this exciting and diverse repertoire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’aforisma “Come un uomo pensa nel suo cuore, così egli è” non solo abbraccia l’interezza dell’essere di un uomo, ma è così completo da arrivare a toccare ogni condizione e ogni circostanza della sua vita. Un uomo è letteralmente ciò che pensa, poiché il suo carattere è la somma totale di tutti i suoi pensieri. Come la pianta sbuca dal seme, e non potrebbe esistere senza di esso, così ogni azione di un uomo sbuca dai semi nascosti del pensiero, e non potrebbe essersi manifestata senza di essi. Questo vale ugualmente per quelle azioni dette “spontanee” e “non premeditate” così come per quelle che vengono eseguite intenzionalmente. L’azione è il fiore del pensiero, e la gioia e la sofferenza sono i suoi frutti; pertanto un uomo raccoglie i frutti dolci e amari delle sue stesse coltivazioni. L’uomo è qualcosa che cresce secondo una legge, e non qualcosa di creato per artificio, e causa ed effetto sono tanto assoluti e costanti nel regno nascosto del pensiero quanto nel mondo del visibile e delle cose materiali. Un carattere nobile e Divino non è una cosa di favore o di fortuna, ma è il risultato naturale di uno sforzo continuato nel pensare rettamente; l’effetto di un’associazione con pensieri Divini nutrita a lungo. Un carattere ignobile e bestiale, allo stesso modo, è il risultato dell’albergare continuamente pensieri abietti. L’uomo viene fatto o disfatto da sé stesso; nell’armeria del pensiero forgia le armi con cui si distrugge; inoltre fabbrica gli attrezzi con cui costruisce per sé palazzi celesti di gioia e forza e pace. Con la giusta scelta e la vera applicazione del pensiero, l’uomo ascende alla Perfezione Divina; con l’abuso e l’errata applicazione del pensiero, scende sotto il livello della bestia. Tra questi due estremi vi sono tutti i gradi del carattere, e l’uomo ne è il creatore e il padrone. Di tutte le belle verità attinenti all’anima che sono state ristabilite e portate alla luce in quest’epoca, nessuna è più allietante o feconda di divina promessa e fiducia, più di questa: l’uomo è il padrone del pensiero, il modellatore del carattere e il creatore e plasmatore delle condizioni, dell’ambiente e del destino. Poiché è un essere di Potere, Intelligenza e Amore, e signore dei propri pensieri, l’uomo detiene la chiave per ogni situazione, e contiene all’interno di sé quell’azione trasformante e rigenerante con cui può fare di sé ciò che vuole. L’uomo è sempre il padrone, anche nel suo stato più debole e abbandonato; ma nella sua debolezza e nella degradazione è il padrone sciocco che mal governa la propria “casa”. Quando inizia a riflettere sulla propria condizione, e a cercare diligentemente la Legge su cui si fonda il suo essere, allora diventa il padrone saggio, che dirige le sue energie con intelligenza, e che foggia i propri pensieri verso esiti proficui. Tale è il padrone che ha coscienza, e l’uomo può diventare così solo scoprendo dentro di sé le leggi del pensiero; la cui scoperta è del tutto una questione di applicazione, autoanalisi ed esperienza. Solo cercando e scavando tanto si ottengono l’oro e i diamanti, e l’uomo può trovare ogni verità connessa al suo essere se scaverà a fondo nella miniera dell’anima...
