Une grande partie des œuvres lyriques composées au XVIIe siècle par Lully et ses prédécesseurs ne se sont maintenues au répertoire de l’Opéra de Paris jusqu’à la fin du siècle suivant qu’au prix d’importants remaniements : les scènes jugées trop longues ou sans lien avec l’action principale furent coupées, quelques passages réécrits, un accompagnement de l’orchestre ajouté là où la voix n’était auparavant soutenue que par le continuo. -

La procédure se passe dans l’indifférence générale et, ni la famille du condamné, ni celle de ses victimes n’a fait le déplacement pour assister à l’exécution. Seul le journaliste d’un minable tabloïd local est venu assister au «spectacle». Pourtant ce qui ne devait être qu’une formalité va rapidement devenir un véritable cauchemar pour Karl Raven, le directeur de la prison. Alors qu’on lui demande s’il a quelque chose à dire avant de mourir, William se met à raconter sa vie, et se lance dans un récit incroyable et bouleversant. Raven s’impatiente et appelle le Gouverneur Brodeck pour obtenir l'autorisation d'exécuter William. Mais comme la loi ne précise rien sur la longueur des dernières paroles et que le Gouverneur Stieg Brodeck, au plus bas dans les sondages, ne peut prendre aucun risque à un mois des élections, on décide de laisser William raconter son histoire jusqu’au bout. -

Translated by Richard Wilbur Directed by Makaela Pollock
Translated by Richard Wilbur Directed by Makaela Pollock All original material copyright © Seattle Shakespeare Company 2015 WELCOME Dear Educators, Tartuffe is a wonderful play, and can be great for students. Its major themes of hypocrisy and gullibility provide excellent prompts for good in-class discussions. Who are the “Tartuffes” in our 21st century world? What can you do to avoid being fooled the way Orgon was? Tartuffe also has some challenges that are best to discuss with students ahead of time. Its portrayal of religion as the source of Tartuffe’s hypocrisy angered priests and the deeply religious when it was first written, which led to the play being banned for years. For his part, Molière always said that the purpose of Tartuffe was not to lampoon religion, but to show how hypocrisy comes in many forms, and people should beware of religious hypocrisy among others. There is also a challenging scene between Tartuffe and Elmire at the climax of the play (and the end of Orgon’s acceptance of Tartuffe). When Tartuffe attempts to seduce Elmire, it is up to the director as to how far he gets in his amorous attempts, and in our production he gets pretty far! This can also provide an excellent opportunity to talk with students about staunch “family values” politicians who are revealed to have had affairs, the safety of women in today’s society, and even sexual assault, depending on the age of the students. Molière’s satire still rings true today, and shows how some societal problems have not been solved, but have simply evolved into today’s context. -
MILLER, CHRISTOPHER L. the French Atlantic Triangle: Literature and Culture of the Slave Trade
Universidade Estadual de Goiás Building the way - Revista do Curso de Letras da UnU-Itapuranga THERE ARE NO SLAVES IN FRANCE!?! MILLER, CHRISTOPHER L. The French Atlantic Triangle: Literature and Culture of the Slave Trade. Durham & London: Duke University Press, 2010, 572 p. ISBN: 9780822341512. Thomas Bonnici Departamento de Letras / Universidade Estadual de Maringá The history of the 20 th century has shown how difficult it is for a nation to accept its past and to come to terms with shameful and degrading events practiced in centuries gone by. If even mere apologies are not easily wrenched from post-war Spain and Germany, Australia and New Zealand and the treatment of the Aborigines and Maoris, Latin America and its dictatorship periods, South Africa and its Apartheid policies, just to mention a few, can one imagine the healing processes required for more in-depth reconciliation? More than two hundred years had to pass so that whole nations would grapple with their slave-haunted history. London, Bristol, Birmingham and other British cities are only now accepting their long-term involvement with slavery, the slave trade, transatlantic economy, plantation system, enrichment on slave-produced goods. And Africa has still a lot of research to undertake to understand its almost endemic participation in different slave trades and in the selling of its children to Europeans. If Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and Brazil are highly touchy on what they consider a taboo subject, how does France fare in the fray with more than one million Africans in 3,649 recorded trans-Atlantic voyages sent to its Caribbean colonies of Martinique (1635), Guadeloupe (1635), Guyane (1663) and Saint-Domingue / Haiti (1697) during from the 17 th to the early 19 th centuries? Christopher Miller, professor of African-American Studies and French at Yale University, provides readers interested in the history of slavery within the context of literature with a breakthrough book. -
Exoticism and the Jew: Racine's Biblical Tragedies by Stanley F
Exoticism and the Jew: Racine's Biblical Tragedies by Stanley F. Levine pour B. Ponthieu [The Comedie franchise production of Esther (1987) delighted and surprised this spectator by the unexpected power of the play itself as pure theater, by the exotic splendor of the staging, with its magnificent gold and blue decor and the flowing white robes of the Israelite maidens, and most particularly by the insistent Jewish references, some of which seemed strikingly contemporary. That production underlies much of this descussion of the interwoven themes of exoticism and the Jewish character as they are played out in Racine's two final plays.] Although the setting for every Racinian tragedy was spatially or temporally and culturally removed from its audience, the term "exotic" would hardly be applied to most of them. With the exception of Esther and Athalie, they lack the necessary 'local color' which might give them the aura of specificity.1 The abstract Greece of Andromaque or Phedre, for example, pales in comparison with the more circumstantial Roman world of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Titus Andronicus, to say nothing of the lavish sensual Oriental Egypt in which Gautier's Roman de la Momie luxuriates. To be sure, there are exotic elements, even in Racine's classical tragedies: heroes of Greco-Roman history and legend, melifluous place and personal names ("la fille de Minos et de Pasiphae"), strange and barbaric customs (human sacrifice in Iphigenie). Despite such features, however, the essence of these plays is ahistorical. Racine's Biblical tragedies present a far different picture. Although they may have more in common 52 STANLEY F. -
A History of Women's Political Thought in Europe, 1400-1700
This page intentionally left blank A HISTORY OF WOMEN’S POLITICAL THOUGHT IN EUROPE, 1400–1700 This ground-breaking book surveys the history of women’s political thought in Europe, from the late medieval period to the early modern era. The authors examine women’s ideas about topics such as the basis of political authority, the best form of political organisation, justifications of obedience and resistance, and concepts of liberty, toleration, sociability, equality, and self-preservation. Women’s ideas concerning relations between the sexes are discussed in tandem with their broader political outlooks; the authors demonstrate that the development of a distinctively sexual politics is reflected in women’s critiques of marriage, the double standard, and women’s exclusion from government. Women writers are also shown to be indebted to the ancient idea of political virtue, and to be acutely aware of being part of a long tradition of female political commentary. This work will be of tremendous interest to political philosophers, historians of ideas, and feminist scholars alike. jacqueline broad is an Honorary Research Associate in the School of Philosophy and Bioethics at Monash University.

Early Modern Women Philosophers and the History of Philosophy
Early Modern Women Philosophers and the History of Philosophy EILEEN O’NEILL It has now been more than a dozen years since the Eastern Division of the APA invited me to give an address on what was then a rather innovative topic: the published contributions of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century women to philosophy.1 In that address, I highlighted the work of some sixty early modern women. I then said to the audience, “Why have I presented this somewhat interesting, but nonetheless exhausting . overview of seventeenth- and eigh- teenth-century women philosophers? Quite simply, to overwhelm you with the presence of women in early modern philosophy. It is only in this way that the problem of women’s virtually complete absence in contemporary histories of philosophy becomes pressing, mind-boggling, possibly scandalous.” My presen- tation had attempted to indicate the quantity and scope of women’s published philosophical writing. It had also suggested that an acknowledgment of their contributions was evidenced by the representation of their work in the scholarly journals of the period and by the numerous editions and translations of their texts that continued to appear into the nineteenth century. But what about the status of these women in the histories of philosophy? Had they ever been well represented within the histories written before the twentieth century? In the second part of my address, I noted that in the seventeenth century Gilles Menages, Jean de La Forge, and Marguerite Buffet produced doxogra- phies of women philosophers, and that one of the most widely read histories of philosophy, that by Thomas Stanley, contained a discussion of twenty-four women philosophers of the ancient world. -

On Philosophical Style Michèle Le Dœuff and Luce Irigaray Virpi Lehtinen UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI ABSTRACT Irigaray and Le Dœuff diagnose the problem of woman and philosophy in terms of love. The differing solutions to the problem can be found in their styles. Irigaray’s style is loving and dialogic, transforming the inherent structure of love and reminding us of the traditional feminine position defined by men. Le Dœuff’s style is critical and pluralistic and relates to her perception of the feminine way of philosophical writing. These styles take into account the undervaluation of the feminine in the apparently ‘neutral’ practices of philosophizing and surpass the traditional or unreflected notions of the feminine style. Ultimately, the con- sciously ‘subjective’ styles, with the inherent aims of self-reflectivity and openness for other persons and texts, prove necessary when striving for truth and objectiv- ity.
