Abstract

Jean Genet. Une écriture des perversions est la première étude consacrée entièrement au sujet de la perversion dans l’œuvre de Jean Genet (1910-1986). Ce sujet – primordial pour Genet – est ici analysé selon trois perspectives à la fois distinctes et profondément liées : les perversions morales, les perversions sexuelles et les perversions textuelles. Voleur, pédéraste et écrivain, Genet attaque la société dite « normale » en arborant ses « perversions » au grand jour. En même temps, il subvertit la dichotomie perversion/normalité et chante la gloire de ceux qui osent se libérer du discours normatif. Car, comme il le dit lui-même, Genet ne voit pas double : il voit « le double des choses ».

Abstract

Du roman au théâtre : avec le temps, les écrits de Jean Genet deviennent de plus en plus théâtraux, les dialogues, presque totalement absents dans son premier roman, prennent de la vigueur au point de réduire la narration aux didascalies. Il réécrit sans cesse ses textes. Mais Genet devient un « poète de la scène » plus qu’un simple dramaturge, il fait voler en éclats la scène traditionnelle et, à travers une utilisation particulière du langage, son théâtre devient une machine de guerre contre le théâtre institutionnel. Ce poète est également un engagé éthique, prenant parti pour la cause palestinienne. Toujours sous le contrôle de son créateur, cette œuvre en perpétuel remaniement, tout à la fois autobiographique et politique, interpelle au plus intime d’eux-mêmes lecteurs et spectateurs par la force subversive que, dans ses éclats lyriques, elle met en jeu.

Abstract

Jean Genet is a writer known for contradictions in his life and in his creative endeavours. As a playwright, he has been classified in various categories: as a part of the Theatre of the Absurd, as a representative of the rights of the gay community, as a spokesperson of the Palestinian cause, and so on. His comments about his life and works further complicate things.This book frees Jean Genet's plays from the overpowering Sartrean perspective, and offers an interpretation that reveals the otherwise hidden spaces of the prison, brothel or the maid's garret ingrained in them.

Abstract

Race and Sex across the French Atlantic is a critical reconceptualization of the contributions of France and the French-speaking world to race relations in the continental United States. Radically re-evaluating the work of French and Francophone cultural icons such as Jean Genet, Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon and Dany Laferriere, this book makes use of untapped historical archival records that link these writers to important African-American political activists and intellectuals such as Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin and the Black Panthers, and even to the white American writer Norman Mailer.

Abstract

Known for her far-reaching examinations of psychoanalysis, literature, and politics, Jacqueline Rose has in recent years turned her attention to the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most enduring and apparently intractable conflicts of our time. In Proust among the Nations, she takes the development of her thought on this crisis a stage further, revealing it as a distinctly Western problem. In a radical rereading of the Dreyfus affair through the lens of Marcel Proust in dialogue with Freud, Rose offers a fresh and nuanced account of the rise of Jewish nationalism and the subsequent creation of Israel. Following Proust's heirs, Beckett and Genet, and a host of Middle Eastern writers, artists, and filmmakers, Rose traces the shifting dynamic of memory and identity across the crucial and ongoing cultural links between Europe and Palestine. A powerful and elegant analysis of the responsibility of writing, Proust among the Nations makes the case for literature as a unique resource for understanding political struggle and gives us new ways to think creatively about the violence in the Middle East.

Abstract

When Jean Genet, the enfant terrible of the French theater, died on April 15, 1986, he left a rich and controversial literary legacy. Genet, a homosexual and ex-convict, wrote about events and in a language that could ruffle the complacency of the most sophisticated reader. His work can be seen as a struggle of the social outcast to be heard from beyond the borders of the dominant, heterosexual culture. This challenging book tracks the effects of this struggle in Genet's novels, plays, film, and political essays by means of a general semiotics of performance. By staging a dialogue between Genet and writers such as Derrida, Bakhtin, Metz, Ricoeur, and Benveniste, Laura Oswald pursues the question of performance in the form of a debate rather than that of a closed theoretical system. Her approach puts into play relations between semiotics and philosophy and provides a means of understanding the relationship between Genet's poetics and his radical politics. By focusing on the role of the double in Genet's literary imagination and by reading Genet with his "others" in the realm of theory, Oswald comes to grips with the overriding concerns of a man whose life in literature was never very far from his life as prisoner, as outcast, as self-proclaimed exile.
