And, from the hearse heading down by way of Place Clichy, the little guy could look out with his big peepers and see a hackney coach going by, a bearded man in a derby, an omnibus, bare­ headed errand girls with their basket on their arm, a white percheron hauling milk cans, ditch-diggers with their trousers held up by Zouave's sashes, steaming piles of horse manure, a cabriolet automobile, quarry stone facades decorated with nymphs, haberdashery signs and those of cafe concerts. All these sights were bounced about by the conveyance, and he felt that none of this agitation was real, that all was but decor, farfelu 1 cin­ ema. Maman's bosom smelled sweet of quality soap. She spoke to him of things bleak. Sunken in dolefulness, he sat with his nose crushed up against the window. Beyond the bourgeois apartment buildings were the low stucco houses with their mansard pulley windows: the hearse was presently passing through the Charen­ ton gateway. The toddler could feel the "passing-of­ things," that mixture of well-being and ill-being "which has no name in the West," as he would put it shortly before his own death (Laz., ll5)-a passing that does not pass, one that a tollhouse can stamp but not stop. 1 2 BERTHE, OR THE SPIDER In his fifties, Malraux wrote that the same indescribable feeling procured from the works of "the Primitives" emanates from L'Octroi de plaisance, the painting that Rousseau (alias the Customs Officer) was making around 1903. It is a feeling both of the spectacle of the monotonous Re­ dundant One,2 the "eternal cycle of the Seasons," and of the "escape from the Wheel of history, giving us, too, a sense of liberation" ( VS/E, 512 *). He had barely begun to walk when Maman placed him on the ground for a moment at the entrance of a deserted Saint-Maur-des-Fosses cemetery to catch her breath. The casket was placed atop others already inside the ample grave. Things startled by the light were moving in there: earthworms, ghastly larvae, arachnids. A blind fauna that he couldn't see but that saw him: "the earth was peopled with hands, and perhaps they could have lived alone, acted alone, without men" (DW, 140). Berthe sat him on a chair in the caretaker's stifling loge. His legs dangling, he kept an eye on the tomb-granter's hairy hand: "simple, natural, yet alive like an eye: death was this" (RW, 284*; VR, 503). She inscribed into the register that having died this 18 March "at his brother and mother's house," Raymond-Fernand Malraux, born 25 De­ cember (sweet Jesus) 1902, had just been inhumed here, in this ceme­ tery, in the Lamy family vault, before Berthe, married name Malraux, his mother, and Georges-Andre, aged eighteen months, the brother of the deceased. Andre understood nothing of all this: that his father was absent from the ceremony, that the bereavement his young mother bore was overwhelming, that the little three-month-old brother was gone for­ ever, and that by his mute presence at this very instant of farewell he himself had just countersigned the first exploit of his own life. His world would remain colonized by women veiled in black, by moth­ ers lamenting dead children, by widows. In an instant he conjured up forever the picture of women silently weeping over graves, waiting for men lost and then returned when it was too late, and laughing up their sleeves. Such is the scene that the minister, at his desk in 1968, sketches for himself: "While attending the national funeral held for Anatole France, I imagined what one for Verlaine, born the same year, might have been like. But I could only think of the terrible funeral he had in actuality with his mistress screaming over the grave, 'Paul, all your friends are here!'" (ML, 589t). The bell of failure impressed itself upon him from this be­ ginning. His entire work would strive to toll this knell. In one stroke, the vision of his mother prostrated over the little casket determined the bad timing of a son never present at rendezvous. Still, why did they persist in giving birth, only to find themselves making the sign of the cross over BERTHE, OR THE SPIDER 3 graves? Spouses, lovers, sons all gone off to measure themselves against an idiotic destiny, to wrest some meaning from it, only to return the only present they could offer to the women: their remains.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

Une chose est sûre : les destins de ces deux perspectives géoculturelles du fait littéraire apparaissent intimement liés et devraient, à le lire, augurer d’un renouveau prometteur pour l’écriture narrative en langue française.

Cruz, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1996 Y20 ANDRE MALRAUX: THE ANTICOLONIAL AND ANTIFASCIST YEARS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Richard A. Cruz, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1996 Cruz, Richard A., Andre Malraux: The Anticolonial and Antifascist Years. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1996, 281 pp., 175 titles. This dissertation provides an explanation of how Andr6 Malraux, a man of great influence on twentieth century European culture, developed his political ideology, first as an anticolonial social reformer in the 1920s, then as an antifascist militant in the 1930s. Almost all of the previous studies of Malraux have focused on his literary life, and most of them are rife with errors. This dissertation focuses on the facts of his life, rather than on a fanciful recreation from his fiction. The major sources consulted are government documents, such as police reports and dispatches, the newspapers that Malraux founded with Paul Monin, other Indochinese and Parisian newspapers, and Malraux's speeches and interviews. Other sources include the memoirs of Clara Malraux, as well as other memoirs and reminiscences from people who knew Andre Malraux during the 1920s and the 1930s. The dissertation begins with a survey of Malraux's early years, followed by a detailed account of his experiences in Indochina.

    Témoignage de Gaston Palewski Gaston PALEWSKI « De Gaulle, la Grande-Bretagne et la France Libre 1940-1943 », Espoir n°43, juin 1983 Pour l’auditoire distingué qui m’écoute, le sujet de cette conférence : « De Gaulle, la Grande- Bretagne et la France Libre, de 1940 à 1943 », c’est-à-dire jusqu’au départ pour Alger et à la première mise en place des institutions provisoires en terre française, est connu dans tous ses détails. Les « Mémoires » du général de Gaulle et, tout dernièrement, le remarquable livre de François Kersaudy, en ont décrit l’atmosphère et indiqué les difficultés qui ont marqué cette période. Mais les historiens doivent fatalement s’abriter derrière les textes, les procès- verbaux, les documents qui font foi. Or ces documents révèlent tout, excepté l’essentiel, c’est- à-dire l’élément humain qui éclaire l’apparence et les dessous de l’action diplomatique et militaire. Peut-être le fait que j’ai été un témoin actif de la plupart de ses événements me permet-il d’esquisser l’étude de cet élément humain ? Je suis heureux de le faire ici, devant vous, dans ce Londres qui nous fut accueillant et que j’ai retrouvé avec beaucoup d’affection et d’émotion. J’ai rappelé déjà dans quelles conditions j’ai connu le colonel de Gaulle ; comment lors de notre premier contact chez Paul Reynaud, la vérité évidente de ses théories s’est imposée à moi et je me suis dit que je mettrais le peu d’influence dont je disposais au service de l’homme et de ses idées.

  • Who's Who at the Rodin Museum
    WHO’S WHO AT THE RODIN MUSEUM Within the Rodin Museum is a large collection of bronzes and plaster studies representing an array of tremendously engaging people ranging from leading literary and political figures to the unknown French handyman whose misshapen proboscis was immortalized by the sculptor. Here is a glimpse at some of the most famous residents of the Museum… ROSE BEURET At the age of 24 Rodin met Rose Beuret, a seamstress who would become his life-long companion and the mother of his son. She was Rodin’s lover, housekeeper and studio helper, modeling for many of his works. Mignon, a particularly vivacious portrait, represents Rose at the age of 25 or 26; Mask of Mme Rodin depicts her at 40. Rose was not the only lover in Rodin's life. Some have speculated the raging expression on the face of the winged female warrior in The Call to Arms was based on Rose during a moment of jealous rage. Rose would not leave Rodin, despite his many relationships with other women. When they finally married, Rodin, 76, and Rose, 72, were both very ill. She died two weeks later of pneumonia, and Rodin passed away ten months later. The two Mignon, Auguste Rodin, 1867-68.

Stressing the importance of incor- porating nonmaterial and ideational factors in analyses of foreign policy, two arguments are put forward in this article for an accurate explanation of Turkish foreign policy toward Alger- ian War of Independence. First, it was the conception of the West, defined not only in strategic or military terms, but also in ideational and civilizational terms that induced Turkish policy- makers to adopt insular policies regarding Algeria.

    Lili Boulanger (1893–1918) and World War I France: Mobilizing Motherhood and the Good Suffering By Anya B. Holland-Barry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 08/24/2012 This dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Susan C. Cook, Professor, Music Charles Dill, Professor, Music Lawrence Earp, Professor, Music Nan Enstad, Professor, History Pamela Potter, Professor, Music i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my best creations—my son, Owen Frederick and my unborn daughter, Clara Grace. I hope this dissertation and my musicological career inspires them to always pursue their education and maintain a love for music. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation grew out of a seminar I took with Susan C. Cook during my first semester at the University of Wisconsin. Her enthusiasm for music written during the First World War and her passion for research on gender and music were contagious and inspired me to continue in a similar direction. I thank my dissertation advisor, Susan C. Cook, for her endless inspiration, encouragement, editing, patience, and humor throughout my graduate career and the dissertation process.
