Abstract

The portrayal of historical atrocity in fiction, film, and popular culture can reveal much about the function of individual memory and the shifting status of national identity. In the context of Chinese culture, films such as Hou Hsiao-hsien's City of Sadness and Lou Ye's Summer Palace and novels such as Ye Zhaoyan's Nanjing 1937: A Love Story and Wang Xiaobo's The Golden Age collectively reimagine past horrors and give rise to new historical narratives.Michael Berry takes an innovative look at the representation of six specific historical traumas

Abstract

Stories of violence — such as the account in Genesis of Cain’s jealousy and murder of Abel — have been with us since the time of the earliest recorded texts. Undeniably, the scourge of violence fascinates, confounds, and saddens. What are its uses in literature — its appeal, forms, and consequences? Anchored by Alice Kaplan’s substantial contribution, the thirteen articles in this volume cover diverse epochs, lands, and motives. One scholar ponders whether accounts of Huguenot martyrdom in the sixteenth-century might suggest more pride than piety. Another assesses the real versus the true with respect to a rape scene in The Heptameron . Female violence in fairy tales by Madame d’Aulnoy points to gender politics and the fragility of female solidarity, while another article examines similar issues in the context of Ananda Devi’s works in present-day Mauritius. Other studies address the question of sadism in Flaubert, the unstable point of view of Emmanuel Carrère’s L’Adversaire , the ambivalence toward violence in Chamoiseau’s Texaco , the notions of “terror” and “tabula rasa” in the writings of Blanchot, the undoing of traditions of narrative continuity and authority in the 1998 film, À vendre , and consequences of the power differential in a repressive Haiti as depicted in the film Vers le Sud (2005). Paradoxes emerge in several studies of works where victims may become perpetrators, or vice versa.

Abstract

Prophètes, sorciers, rumeurs: La violence dans trois romans de Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly (1808 – 1889) étudie la représentation de la violence dans trois romans de Barbey d’Aurevilly. On a souvent dit de l’univers de Barbey qu’il est saturé de violence. Jusqu’ici, cependant, on n’avait jamais mis cette violence en rapport avec les discours comme la prophétie, la sorcellerie ou les rumeurs. On ne l’avait jamais lue non plus sous l’angle de la violence collective. C’est maintenant chose faite, dans une étude qui se consacre plus précisément aux rapports que ces discours violents entretiennent avec le phénomène du bouc émissaire. Cette étude fait largement appel aux sciences humaines : à l’ethnographie des sorts de Jeanne Favret-Saada, mais aussi à la sociologie des rumeurs – et tout particulièrement aux travaux de Françoise Reumaux – et, bien sûr, aux travaux de René Girard sur la théorie mimétique. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire ne prend cependant pas le pas sur la dimension littéraire des textes, qui est mise en valeur par de nombreuses analyses d’extraits et de personnages que la critique aurevillienne a peu commentés jusqu’ici. Cette étude n’intéressera pas seulement les lecteurs de Barbey d’Aurevilly, mais aussi tous ceux qu’intéressent les sciences humaines et plus particulièrement leur application aux textes littéraires.
