Abstract

L’élégance insolente et la sensualité du XVIIIe siècle rajeunissent sous sa plume, rehaussées par une touche de poésie toute personnelle. Son oeuvre en retire une grande liberté de pensée et de langage, comme un léger parfum de scandale. Musset joue en virtuose des sous-entendus du discours libertin puisant dans un riche intertexte qui va de Marivaux à Louvet de Couvray, en passant par Crébillon fils et Laclos. Il en retient notamment l’art de jouer avec le lecteur, en vue d’établir avec lui un rapport tout à la fois de complicité et de défi. Pris dans les chassés-croisés de la séduction et du retrait, de l’aveu et du déni, ce discours postule l’ambivalence entre cynisme et sentimentalisme. Il suggère une secrète parenté entre double sens libertin et ironie romantique. Ainsi, de la reprise au dépassement du modèle hérité du siècle des Lumières, l’oeuvre de Musset trouve la voie de son originalité et de son charme.

Abstract

Much of the previous scholarship on Russia's literary discourses of sexuality and eroticism in the Silver Age was built on applying European theoretical models (from psychoanalysis to feminist theory) to Russia's modernization. This book argues that, at the turn into the twentieth century, Russian popular culture for the first time found itself in direct confrontation with the traditional high cultures of the upper classes and intelligentsia, producing modernized representations of sexuality. This Russian tradition of conflicted representations, heretofore misassessed by literary history, emerges as what Foucault would call a full-blown “bio-history” of Russian culture: a history of indigenous representations of sexuality and the eroticized body capable of innovation on its own terms, not just those derivative from Europe.

Abstract

In the age of Enlightenment the concept of night evolved from being a time of dread to a time for pleasure. Between the start of the Régence (1715-1723) and the French Revolution the nocturnal and the erotic became intrinsically connected : shadows and darkness were reconfigured as the object of the philosophes' fascination, while night was increasingly experienced as the realm of the self. Nowhere is this paradigmatic shift better recorded than in French libertine literature of the long eighteenth century. Marine Ganofsky delves into the night scenes of libertine fiction to analyse how the idea of night was reimagined and represented by writers ranging from Crébillon to Sade. Her original analysis of erotic encounters in pornographic novels, gallant stories and sensual fairy tales reveals how they capture the period's emancipation from superstitions and traditions. The nocturnal settings of these libertine narratives were the primary means of staging men and women's hitherto hidden sexual encounters and innermost fantasies, and ultimately illustrate the conquest of night-time terrors in favour of social encounters and amorous intimacy. Libertine nocturnal scenes reflect above all the Enlightenment's re-invention of shadows less as an obstacle than an incentive to discover the mysteries they harbour. Through her innovative research Marine Ganofsky presents the erotic nights of libertine fiction as a sign that the siècle des Lumières, free to enjoy the charms to be found in, or under, the cover of darkness, was also the siècle de la nuit.
