Download or read book Andre Gide and Curiosity written by Victoria Reid and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive exploration of curiosity in the fiction and life-writing of André Gide (1869-1951) is an important modernist contribution to the field of curiosity in literature and cultural studies more broadly. Curiosity was a credo for Gide. By observing the world and then manifesting in writing these observations, he stimulates the curiosity of readers, conceived as virtual conduits of a curiosity once his own. Using a thematic structure of sexual, scientific and writerly curiosity, this volume identifies processes of curiosity in the life-writing (including the travel-writing) which illuminate processes in the fiction, and vice versa. Theories of fetishism, gender and sexuality are applied to Gide's corpus to illustrate his championing of a masculine curiosity of enlightenment and adventure over a feminised 'curiosité-défaillance' of disobedience and harm, and to explore objects eliciting his incuriosity. Gide's creativity is nourished by his curiosity, as close readings of his work informed by Melanie Klein's psychoanalytic writing on epistemophilia reveal. Curiosity is a rewarding, non-reductionist perspective from which the exceptional variety of Gide's subject matter, style and genre can be more coherently understood. Research draws principally on the six Pléiade volumes of Gide's oeuvre, published 1996-2009.

Download or read book L Immoraliste d Andr Gide written by Encyclopaedia Universalis, and published by Encyclopaedia Universalis. This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bienvenue dans la collection Les Fiches de lecture d’Universalis ! Bien qu'âgé de 43 ans, André Gide (1869-1951) est encore peu connu en dehors des milieux littéraires lorsqu’il publie son récit L’Immoraliste (1902). Les Nourritures terrestres (1897) sont passées relativement inaperçues et ne deviendront le bréviaire d’une génération qu'une vingtaine d'années plus tard. Au terme d'une lente gestation de plus de deux ans, L'Immoraliste paraît en mai 1902 au Mercure de France dans une édition limitée à 300 exemplaires. Dans son entourage, les avis sont partagés mais, à l'exception de quelques rejets farouches, l'accueil est globalement positif, les lecteurs se révélant peu choqués par le caractère scabreux du sujet, ou en percevant bien la dimension critique. Le livre n'en valut pas moins à Gide, au prix d'un malentendu ou d'un contresens, une réputation d'immoraliste qui n'était pas forcément pour lui déplaire. Une fiche de lecture spécialement conçue pour le numérique, pour tout savoir sur L'Immoraliste de André Gide. À PROPOS DE L'ENCYCLOPAEDIA UNIVERSALIS Reconnue mondialement pour la qualité et la fiabilité incomparable de ses publications, Encyclopaedia Universalis met la connaissance à la portée de tous.

Book excerpt: At the peak of his career, after having established himself as an accomplished writer, astute moraliste, and the foremost spokesperson of his generation for personal freedom and self-realization, Gide became aware, first, that his particular brand of bourgeois individualism was becoming increasingly irrelevant in the contemporary world and, second, that social commitment and even revolution could serve as a powerful source of inspiration and self-renewal. Over a ten-year period that began in the 1920s and ended with his public break with the Soviet Union in 1936, Gide the committed intellectual interacted with society in ways that were for him unprecedented. These essays examine the outcomes of Gide s evolving commitment to a host of controversial issues ranging from the sexual to the political, from the literary to the social.

Download or read book The Mirror in the Text written by Lucien Dällenbach and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1989-07-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mirror in the Text is concerned with the literary and artistic device of mise en abyme, the use of an element within a work which mirrors the work as a whole—like the 'play within a play' in Hamlet. In this classic study, Lucien Dällenbach provides the first systematic analysis of this device and its literary and artistic applications from Van Eyck and Velasquez to Gide, Beckett and the French nouveau roman. Alongside this wealth of examples, Dällenbach constructs his theoretical argument with elegance and clarity, assuming no previous knowledge of arcane and specialized theory, but guiding the reader helpfully through the maze of literary criticism. The result is a new conceptual field, a new grammar of the mise en abyme, and an examination of its function within the work of art and literature. The highly original study has been acclaimed as one of the most important works of contemporary literary theory. It will be of interest to all students of English and European literature, as well as to students of the visual arts.
