Abstract

Mort il y a trente-cinq ans, Jean Genet est une figure majeure de la littérature du XXe siècle, et cela malgré une écriture controversée - mêlant classicisme, érotisme et pornographie provocatrice -, dépeignant l'univers carcéral et homosexuel de ce début de siècle. Nous tenterons alors, par le biais de ce travail, d’étudier et de comprendre les conceptions même de la "masculinité" et a fortiori de la "virilité", afin de démonter toute l'ambiguïté de l'univers genetien. Pour y parvenir, nous relirons les cinq premiers romans de l'auteur au prisme enchanteur de la sainte virilité, en proposant également une inévitable analyse moderne de l’homosexualité masculine.

Abstract

The Decision Between Us combines an inventive reading of Jean-Luc Nancy with queer theoretical concerns to argue that while scenes of intimacy are spaces of sharing, they are also spaces of separation. John Paul Ricco shows that this tension informs our efforts to coexist ethically and politically, an experience of sharing and separation that informs any decision. Using this incongruous relation of intimate separation, Ricco goes on to propose that "decision" is as much an aesthetic as it is an ethical construct, and one that is always defined in terms of our relations to loss, absence, departure, and death. Laying out this theory of "unbecoming community" in modern and contemporary art, literature, and philosophy, and calling our attention to such things as blank sheets of paper, images of unmade beds, and the spaces around bodies, The Decision Between Us opens in 1953, when Robert Rauschenberg famously erased a drawing by Willem de Kooning, and Roland Barthes published Writing Degree Zero, then moves to 1980 and the "neutral mourning" of Barthes' Camera Lucida, and ends in the early 1990s with installations by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Offering surprising new considerations of these and other seminal works of art and theory by Jean Genet, Marguerite Duras, and Catherine Breillat, The Decision Between Us is a highly original and unusually imaginative exploration of the spaces between us, arousing and evoking an infinite and profound sense of sharing in scenes of passionate, erotic pleasure as well as deep loss and mourning.

Abstract

Cette dissertation cherche à établir les conditions qui permettent à une relation BDSM d’échange de pouvoirs de produire des effets politiques d’émancipation. À partir de la théorie butlérienne de la performativité des corps, je montre que ce dispositif culturel de réitération parodique permet la resignification d’identités, de rôles et de pratiques. Une brève recherche à travers l’histoire clinique du sadomasochisme montre quelles sont les racines culturelles de certains comportements sexuels, avec en leur centre le modèle masochiste du contrat. Par une reprise de la critique féministe de la théorie du contrat social, je montre le potentiel transgressif du contrat BDSM ainsi que ses limitations. Avec le travail de Robin Bauer et un roman de Jean Genet, je pose que les effets produits sur la subjectivité dans l’intimité peuvent avoir des effets politiques publiques. This dissertation aims at establishing the conditions allowing a power-exchange BDSM relationship to produce political effects of emancipation. From Butler’s theory of performativity of bodies, I show that this cultural dispositive allows a parodic reassigning of identities, roles and practices. A brief research through the clinical history of sadomasochism shows the cultural roots of certain sexual behaviors, centering around the notion of the masochistic contract. Through an uptake of the feminist critique of the social contract theory, I show the transgressive potential of the BDSM contract and its limitations. With Robin Bauer’s work and a novel by Jean Genet, I argue that the effects produced on the subjectivity in a private context can have public political effects.

Abstract

Do killers, artists, and terrorists need one another? In Crimes of Art and Terror, Frank Lentricchia and Jody McAuliffe explore the disturbing adjacency of literary creativity to violence and even political terror. Lentricchia and McAuliffe begin by anchoring their penetrating discussions in the events of 9/11 and the scandal provoked by composer Karlheinz Stockhausen's reference to the destruction of the World Trade Center as a great work of art, and they go on to show how political extremism and avant-garde artistic movements have fed upon each other for at least two centuries. Crimes of Art and Terror reveals how the desire beneath many romantic literary visions is that of a terrifying awakening that would undo the West's economic and cultural order. This is also the desire, of course, of what is called terrorism. As the authority of writers and artists recedes, it is criminals and terrorists, Lentricchia and McAuliffe suggest, who inherit this romantic, destructive tradition. Moving freely between the realms of high and popular culture, and fictional and actual criminals, the authors describe a web of impulses that catches an unnerving spirit. Lentricchia and McAuliffe's unorthodox approach pairs Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment with Martin Scorsese's King of Comedy and connects the real-life Unabomber to the surrealist Joseph Cornell and to the hero of Bret Easton Ellis's bestselling novel American Psycho. They evoke a desperate culture of art through thematic dialogues among authors and filmmakers as varied as Don DeLillo, Joseph Conrad, Francis Ford Coppola, Jean Genet, Frederick Douglass, Hermann Melville, and J. M. Synge, among others. And they conclude provocatively with an imagined conversation between Heinrich von Kleist and Mohamed Atta. The result is a brilliant and unflinching reckoning with the perilous proximity of the impulse to create transgressive art and the impulse to commit violence.

Abstract

"Northern Arts is a provocative exploration of Scandinavian literature and art. With intellectual power and deep emotional insights, writer and critic Arnold Weinstein guides us through the most startling works created by the writers and artists of Scandinavia over the past two centuries ... Weinstein uses the concept of "breakthrough"--Boundary smashing, restlessness, and the exploding of traditional forms and values-- as a thematic lens through which to expose the rolling energies and violence that courses through Scandinavian literature and art. Defying preconceptions of Scandinavian culture as depressive or brooding, Weinstein invites us to imagine anew this transformative and innovative tradition of art that continually challenges ideas about the sacred and the profane, family and marriage, children, patriarchy, and personal identity."--Back cover.
