Download or read book Living Well with Pessimism in Nineteenth Century France written by Joseph Acquisto and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the emergence of modern pessimism in nineteenth-century France and examines its aesthetic, epistemological, ethical, and political implications. It explores how, since pessimism as a worldview is not empirically verifiable, writers on pessimism shift the discussion to verisimilitude, opening up rich territory for cross-fertilization between philosophy and literature. The book traces debates on pessimism in the nineteenth century among French nonfiction writers who either lauded its promotion of compassion or condemned it for being a sick and unliveable attempt at renunciation. It then examines the way novelists and poets take up and transform these questions by portraying characters in lived situations that serve as testing grounds for the merits or limitations of pessimism. The debate on pessimism that emerged in the nineteenth century is still very much with us, and this book offers an interhistorical argument for embracing pessimism as a way of living well in the world, aesthetically, ethically, and politically.

Download or read book Du pessimisme written by Jean-Marie Paul and published by Editions Les Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Man never ceases to wonder why he is unhappy. Although pessimism has always existed, it seems to have flourished in certain periods of our history. The end of the French Revolution and of the Empire marked the return to an Ancien Regime which left little to be hoped for. Romanticism and Schopenhauer fuelled the despair and fed upon it. Byron, Leopardi, Chateaubriand, Poe and Baudelaire sang of the depression which accompanies passions, dejection, boredom and melancholy. The history of progress is that of disenchantment. Modernity was disowned as soon as it dawned. In a world in which God is dying, and man has turned evil, syphilis, urbanisation and industrialisation leave us feeling hopeless. Sustained by the most celebrated writers, pessimism invaded the 19th century from Southern to Northern Europe. It almost comes as a surprise that Freud and psychoanalysis should have emerged so late in a society in which anguish and depression had ruled unchallenged for so long, and more so in Paris than in any other capital. The 20th century would usher in an even more devastating apocalypse than the one anticipated by writers and philosophers. Germany may have had a pessimistic mindset, but France experienced it with passion and still stubbornly cultivates it for specific reasons that the author attempts to elucidate. He examines without compromise or militantism the causes of a phenomenon that shows no signs of abating. French description: L'homme ne cesse de se demander pourquoi il est malheureux. Si le pessimisme est de tout temps, il prospere pourtant a certaines epoques de l'histoire. La fin de la Revolution et de l'Empire marque le retour a l'Ancien Regime qui ne fait pas rever. Le romantisme et Schopenhauer alimentent le desespoir et s'en nourrissent. Byron, Leopardi, Chateaubriand, Poe, Baudelaire chantent le vague des passions, le spleen, l'ennui et la melancolie. L'histoire du progres est celle d'un desamour. La modernite est desavouee des sa naissance. Dans un monde ou Dieu se meurt et ou l'homme est au plus mal, la syphilis, l'urbanisation et l'industrialisation ne laissent guere de raisons d'esperer. Porte par les plus grands ecrivains, le pessimisme envahit le XIXe siecle du sud au nord de l'Europe. On s'etonne presque que Freud et la psychanalyse soient venus si tard dans une societe ou l'angoisse et la depression regnaient en maitres depuis longtemps, et a Paris plus que dans toute autre capitale. Le XXe siecle allait apporter une apocalypse pire que celle promise par les ecrivains et les philosophes. Si l'Allemagne a pense le pessimisme, la France l'a vecu passionnement et le cultive aujourd'hui avec obstination pour des raisons specifiques que l'auteur tente de percevoir. Sans complaisance et sans militantisme, il s'interroge sur les causes d'un phenomene dont rien n'annonce la fin. Jean-Marie PAUL a enseigne l'histoire des idees et la litterature allemande aux universites de Dijon, Nancy et Angers. Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, ses livres et les nombreux ouvrages qu'il a diriges tentent de retrouver une image de l'homme telle qu'elle se construit et evolue dans la longue duree tout en affirmant des traits permanents irreductibles a la contingence des temps.

Download or read book The Family in Crisis in Late Nineteenth Century French Fiction written by Nicholas White and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Family in Crisis in Late Nineteenth-Century French Fiction, first published in 1999, focuses on a key moment in the construction of the modern view of the family in France. Nicholas White's analysis of novels by Zola, Maupassant, Hennique, Bourget and Armand Charpentier is fashioned by perspectives on a wide cultural field, including legal, popular and academic discourses on the family and its discontents. His account encourages a close rereading of canonical as well as overlooked texts from fin de siècle France. What emerges between the death of Flaubert in 1880 and the publication of Bourget's Un divorce in 1904 is a series of Naturalist and post-Naturalist representations of transgressive behaviour in which tales of adultery, illegitimacy, consanguinity, incest and divorce serve to exemplify and to offer a range of nuances on the Third Republic's crisis in what might now be termed 'family values'.

Download or read book Latin America written by Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Latin America” is a concept firmly entrenched in its philosophical, moral, and historical meanings. And yet, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo argues in this landmark book, it is an obsolescent racial-cultural idea that ought to have vanished long ago with the banishment of racial theory. Latin America: The Allure and Power of an Idea makes this case persuasively. Tenorio-Trillo builds the book on three interlocking steps: first, an intellectual history of the concept of Latin America in its natural historical habitat—mid-nineteenth-century redefinitions of empire and the cultural, political, and economic intellectualism; second, a serious and uncompromising critique of the current “Latin Americanism”—which circulates in United States–based humanities and social sciences; and, third, accepting that we might actually be stuck with “Latin America,” Tenorio-Trillo charts a path forward for the writing and teaching of Latin American history. Accessible and forceful, rich in historical research and specificity, the book offers a distinctive, conceptual history of Latin America and its many connections and intersections of political and intellectual significance. Tenorio-Trillo’s book is a masterpiece of interdisciplinary scholarship.

Download or read book Overcoming Matthew Arnold written by James Walter Caufield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening the way for a reexamination of Matthew Arnold's unique contributions to ethical criticism, James Walter Caufield emphasizes the central role of philosophical pessimism in Arnold's master tropes of "culture" and "conduct." Caufield uses Arnold's ethics as a lens through which to view key literary and cultural movements of the past 150 years, demonstrating that Arnoldian conduct is grounded in a Victorian ethic of "renouncement," a form of altruism that wholly informs both Arnold's poetry and prose and sets him apart from the many nineteenth-century public moralists. Arnold's thought is situated within a cultural and philosophical context that shows the continuing relevance of "renouncement" to much contemporary ethical reflection, from the political kenosis of Giorgio Agamben and the pensiero debole of Gianni Vattimo, to the ethical criticism of Wayne C. Booth and Martha Nussbaum. In refocusing attention on Arnold's place within the broad history of critical and social thought, Caufield returns the poet and critic to his proper place as a founding father of modern cultural criticism.

Download or read book Thomas Hardy written by Michael Millgate and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Millgate's classic biography of the great novelist and poet Thomas Hardy was first published in 1982. Much new information about Hardy has since become available, often in volumes edited or co-edited by Millgate himself, and many established assumptions have been challenged and revolutionized by scholarly research. In this extensively revised, fully reconsidered, and considerably expanded new edition the world's leading Hardy scholar draws not only upon these new materials but upon an exceptional understanding of Hardy gained from long immersion in the study of his life and work. Many large and small aspects of Hardy's life are here freshly illuminated, including his family background, his fumbling self-education as a poet, his difficult relations with his first wife and hers with his family, his sexual infatuations, his secret collaborations with aspiring women writers, his clandestine composition of his own official biography, and the memory-invoking techniques by which he sustained his remarkable creativity into extreme old age. Thorough, authoritative, and eminently readable, Thomas Hardy: A Biography Revisited is now the standard life of Hardy for a new generation.
