    Paris, New York, and Post-National Romance

    Sex and the Series: Paris, New York, and Post-National Romance Dana Heller / love Paris every moment, Every moment of the year I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris? Because my love is here. —Cole Porter, / Love Paris This essay will examine and contrast two recent popular situation comedies, NBC's Friends and HBO's Sex and the City, as narratives that participate in the long-standing utilization of Paris as trope, or as an instrumental figure within the perennially deformed and reformed landscape of the American national imaginary. My argument is that Paris re-emerges in post-9/11 popular culture as a complex, multi-accentual figure within the imagined mise-en-scene of the world Americans desire. The reasons for this are to a large degree historical: in literature, cinema, television, popular music, and other forms of U.S. cultural production, from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century and into the twenty first, Paris has remained that city where one ventures, literally and/or imaginatively, to dismember history, or to perform a disarticulation of the national subject that suggests possibilities for the interrogation of national myths and for 0026-3079/2005/4602-145$2.50/0 American Studies, 46:1 (Summer 2005): 145-169 145 146 Dana Heller the articulation of possible new forms of national unity and allegiance. These forms frequently find expression in the romantic transformation of a national citizen-subject into a citizen-subject of the world, a critique of the imperialist aspirations of the nation-state that antithetically masks those same aspirations under the sign of the disillusioned American cosmopolitan abroad.
  • Enlightenment Walking Tour 4

    Enlightenment Walking Tour 4

    France and Paris were changed dramatically by the Enlightenment and ensuing French Revolution. Likewise, many of the monuments and buildings you’ll see on this walk were “reinvented” during the 18th century. The Panthéon, where this walk starts, began as a church sponsored by an absolute monarch and ended the century as a monument to the country’s most famous Enlightenment figures. The place de la Concorde, where the walk ends, saw one monarch celebrated with a statue and another executed on the same site. Saint-Sulpice and Saint- Thomas-d’Aquin were transformed from churches to secular “temples” and back to churches again. And the Palais du Luxembourg, Hôtel de Salm, and Palais Bourbon, homes at the beginning of the century to royalty and aristocrats, ended the century as homes to the country’s newly created democratic institutions. In addition to showcasing neoclassical buildings and monuments, the walk also provides an opportunity to wander through part of the Saint-Germain des Prés quarter, one of the city’s most lively and interesting neighborhoods. Start: Panthéon (Métro: Maubert Mutualité) Finish: Place de la Concorde (Métro: Concorde) Distance: 3 miles Time: 3 - 4 hours Best Days: Any day Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Religion and Philosophy Politics and Economics The political and economic situation in 18th-century France provided fertile As the 18th century began, France’s monarchy and the Catholic church ground for Enlightenment philosophers (know as “philosophes”) who (known later collectively as the “ancien régime”) were at the apex of their believed that natural “scientific” laws could be applied to social, economic power and glory.

Nothing is more fantastic, nothing is more tragic, nothing is more superb.” « Qui regarde au fond de Paris a le vertige. Rien de plus fantasque, rien de plus tragique, rien de plus superbe. » ― Victor Hugo, Introduction to Paris-Guide, Part III, 1867 “To stray is human; to saunter is Parisian.” « Errer est humain, flâner est parisien. » ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables III, 4, i Note: To get Hugo’s joke, you need to understand the French pun. “Errer” means both “to err” and “to stray, or get lost” and “errer est humain“ is as familiar as our “to err is human.” Course Description: One might argue, as slate.fr has, that Victor Hugo is Paris. A great Romantic poet and world-renowned novelist and social-justice fighter, Victor Hugo dominated nineteenth-century Paris. Students taking this BIS-affiliated J-Term course, “Victor Hugo’s Paris” will explore the City of Lights from literary, historical, artistic, biographical and cultural perspectives.

    Today, Friday, April 10Th, We Wake up in Paris! Paris Will Be Our Home for the Next 2 Days

    Today, Friday, April 10th, we wake up in Paris! Paris will be our home for the next 2 days. I am tingling with ex- citement! Have I told you that Paris is my favorite city in the world!! Paris is separated, both geographically and politically, into twenty arrondissements which are organized on a map in a spi- ral fashion like the shell of a snail. Each arrondissement is numbered with the most central (around the Louvre) numbered 1 and then increase progressively until the furthest and most east arrondissement, which is numbered 20.. You will also notice references to the Left and Right banks which separate Paris into the ar- rondissements north of the Seine (Right Bank/Rive Droite) and the area south of the Seine (Left Bank/Rive Gauche). These terms are from the Middle Ages and reference direction based on a downstream orientation. To help further define geography, hotels, museums, restaurants and other establishments usually reference the metro station(s) which is closest to the establishment. (for example, M-Invalides, M-Ecole Militaire). Paris has a terrific Metro system and many of the sites, such as Versailles, outside of the city also have train service from Paris. There are simple apps you can download to your phone for the Metro. The distance from the center of Paris (the Louvre) to most of the tourist’s sites in any direction is about 1.5 miles so if you prefer to walk, you might not use the Metro at all. The bus system, RER, is a little more complicated but once you get the hang of it, it is a great way to get to your destination.

    WALK 2 | Jardin du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 km 7 8 10 9 N U = Underground Metro Station = Optional route Emerging from the Metro station, you will be on Boulevard Saint Germain. Go to Place Saint Germain des Prés. Pass by the café Les Deux Magots, and in the middle of the plaza across from the church, you will find a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 7 Place St. Germain des Prés, 6th Arr. This fountain is near the entrance to the old abbey church, Saint Germain des Prés. In warm months, the fountain is surrounded by outdoor seating for nearby cafes and restaurants. One 7 cafe is Les Deux Magots, made famous by its former clientele - lost generation writers, surrealist artists, and existentialist philosophers. Today, the cafe attracts tourists and those who want to feel they rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of long dead French intellectuals. Perhaps Hemingway or Sartre drank from this Wallace Fountain after they had too much to drink at Les Deux Magots. Saint Germain des Prés is the oldest church in Paris with parts dating back to the sixth century. If you have time, look inside. Undergoing renovation, it is slowly being restored to its original glory. Cross Boulevard St-Germain and walk south on Rue Bonaparte until you arrive at Place Saint-Sulpice. In the square and across the street from the town hall of the 6th arrondissement is a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 8 Place Saint-Sulpice, 6th Arr. At the southwest corner of the square stands the fountain.

    FRENCH AND EXPATRIATE LITERATURE/NYU Fall 2018 Prof Claire de Obaldia Instructor Office hours Tues/Thurs 10 :30-11 :00 Instructor Email Address [email protected] COURSE INFORMATION Course number and section ? Course Title : French and Expatriate Literature Course Description This course explores the connections between major French and American expatriate writings of the Modernist period and beyond. As the site of unprecedented cosmopolitanism and creativity, early 20th-century Paris saw the emergence of artistic and intellectual movements that were to have a considerable impact on Western culture to this day. The texts we will be looking at (memoir, autobiography, novel, poem, and essay) reflect a shared sense of inner and outer exile inherent in the modern condition. They deal explicitly with the experience of living and writing on the margins, of belonging or not belonging, of otherness and estrangement in relation to class, gender, sexuality, language, and to Paris as a specific urban environment. Co-requisite or prerequisite ? Class meeting days and times : Tues/Thurs 9 :00-10 :30 Class room number ? COURSE OVERVIEW AND GOALS Upon Completion of this Course, students will be able to : ● Explore the impact of a specific time, place, and culture on writing ● Be familiar with a variety of modes and styles of writing around characteristically 20th- century themes and issues ● Be able to formulate relevant questions and hold multiple perspectives ● develop and refine analytical skills through the practice of close reading and commentary, but also through a broadening of connections and perspectives COURSE REQUIREMENTS Attendance, Preparation and Participation Includes abiding by NYU Attendance Policy (see below), being up to date with the assigned reading, preparing each class in advance, and catching up in case of a missed class.
