Disenchantment and Re-enchantment: Rhetorical Tension in the Siècle des Lumières A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sean P. Killackey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Daniel Brewer DECEMBER 2020 © Sean P. Killackey, 2020 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank the members of my committee, without whom none of this project would have seen the light of day. I am deeply grateful to Dan Brewer, Juliette Cherbuliez, Mary Franklin-Brown, and Michael Gaudio for their commitment and perseverance in seeing this dissertation project through to its completion. Before this dissertation even took shape, their courses and scholarship inspired new avenues of intellectual pursuit for me. I am particularly grateful for the many conversations at workshops, in offices and hallways, and after myriad speaker events with each of them during the development of ideas that would eventually coalesce into a dissertation project. I would like to express my deep and enduring gratitude to my advisor, Daniel Brewer, who read countless revisions with patience and tirelessly gave diplomatic and insightful feedback, challenging my assumptions and posing questions that lead me to more fruitful exploration and stronger writing. His intellectual guidance for this project over the long duration is a testament to his perseverance and his passion for critical inquiry into the literature and culture of the eighteenth century. I sincerely thank Juliette Cherbuliez for chairing my committee and for her advice on the importance of working with people who “ask great questions.” Her brilliant and challenging questions impacted my thinking on this project, perhaps more than she even knows. I am grateful to her for her mentorship both in scholarly pursuits and in teaching. My long-distance thanks go to Mary Franklin-Brown who began this project with me at the University of Minnesota and endured some late hours to finish with me from Christ’s College at Cambridge in England. From allegorical thinking in the Roman de la Rose to the finer points of Foucault’s epistemology, Mary’s keen and kind guidance was invaluable and a bulwark against discouragement. From his leadership role in the Theorizing Early Modern Studies group to his course on early modern print culture and work on my committee, Michael Gaudio helped me to see interdisciplinary connections and discover the delights of engraved illustration in eighteenth- i century texts. This eventually led me to my fascination with Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint- Pierre’s complicated relationship with illustration, type face, and his printer-publisher (and future father-in-law!). Certainly, this dissertation project did not proceed without the help of a great many people and institutions. I would like to thank the Department of French and Italian at the University of Minnesota for the generous financial support during my doctoral studies, and in particular for the two summer Doctoral Research Fellowship awards which funded undivided time to work on the dissertation. My life and work have been enriched by the many wonderful friends and colleagues I have met in the Department of French and Italian at the University of Minnesota. My faculty colleagues at St. Olaf College have been a source of enthusiastic support beyond what I could have imagined. I would be remiss if I did not mention my debt of gratitude to the University Club of St. Paul for providing the perfect, convivial, and inspiring place to write. John Rupp and Stephanie Laitala- Rupp have reason to be proud of the professional staff they have put in place to run the historic property and create a space of great conversation, fine food, and a love of higher education. For keeping the caffeine flowing and the fireplace glowing, my thanks to Sue Katsiotis, Kelli McDonald, as well as Deb, Evan, Gerardo, Jacquie, Lindsey, Liz, and Paul. My final and deepest expression of gratitude is for my family. For my daughter, Brianne, who has never known a moment of her young life when her father wasn’t working on his dissertation and yet who always encouraged me and lovingly put adorable signs on the door of my home office, forbidding interruptions and “defending” my dissertation from disturbance. For my extended family who put up with me disappearing for hours during holidays and vacations to write. Finally, though I speak multiple languages, I do not have the right words to adequately express my appreciation for my wife in this matter. Ellie was the one who encouraged me to complete my doctorate when I thought it was an unfeasible dream, sharing that it was her dream for our life together too. Her unwavering support was the only thing at times that allowed me to ford raging rivers of doubt. None of this would have been possible, or hold as much joy, without her. I am eternally grateful and look forward to the next chapters in our enchanting adventure together. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my father, John Killackey, who inspired in me a love of reading and sailing, and who taught me that the grandest adventure is a life filled by discovery, imagination, and reflection. iii Table of contents Acknowledgements i Dedication iii Table of Contents iv List of Figures v Introduction Disenchantment and Re-enchantment: Rhetorical Tension in the Siècle des Lumières 1 Chapter One Tabling the Matter: The Problem of Nature Made into a Conceptual Object 24 Chapter Two Pastoral novel as re-draft of encyclopedic project: Paul et Virginie as conclusion to Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s Études de la nature 90 Chapter Three History of the Two Indies: a Singular Tale with Multiple Voices – History and Philosophy Collide in the Histoire des deux Indes 174 Conclusion Disenchantment and Re-enchantment: Rhetorical Tension in the Siècle des Lumières 243 Bibliography 267 iv List of figures Fig. 1: Detail from frontispiece to Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie.

It has removed the persuasion that there is something beyond what is offered by the evidence of our senses; it has uprooted the conviction that things are what they are, and where they are, for a reason; it has eradicated mystery, order, and purpose — and in their place, it has put nothing at all, simply leaving a gaping void.1 Figure 1: Bonaventure Louis-Prévost and Charles-Nicholas Cochin, frontispiece (detail), in Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie, 1772, engraving, Bibliothèque nationale de France. Figured in the frontispiece to Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie, Truth is staged between the opposite actions of Reason and Imagination. Reason first strips off the veil from Truth, and then Imagination re-adorns and crowns her. Figural and 1 Joshua Landy and Michael T.

Van Horn, M.A. Graduate Program in Art Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. James Sanders, Advisor Dr. Christine Ballengee Morris Dr. Sydney Walker Copyright by Susannah L. Van Horn, M.A. 2012 Abstract The purpose of my research is to offer insight into the life and work of Thomas E. Wolfe, who exhibits self-determination both as an artist and as an art educator in an Appalachian region of Southeastern Ohio. By presenting Wolfe’s life story, I make connections to the influences of culture, social experiences, regional identity, and family traditions that play to his development as an artist and art educator. My research questions focused on how he perceives himself, how others perceive his presence in the community, how his artwork is valued by his community and how his teaching practices helped develop a greater sense of community. Specifically, I was interested in which historical moments and events in his life that were important to him in recollecting his life story. In my narrative analysis of Wolfe’s life stories collected through oral history from Wolfe and 26 of his friends, family members, former students and community members, I considered selectivity, slippage, silence, intertextuality, and subjectivity to analyze his life story (Casey, 1993; Casey 1995-1996). Thomas Eugene Wolfe began making art as a child and evolved into an accomplished artist.

Fóti Professor of Philosophy Monique Yaari Associate Professor of French Caroline D. Eckhardt Professor of Comparative Literature and English Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract This study expands the concept of reframing memory through reconciliation and revision by tracing the genealogy of a liminal supernatural entity (what I term the fantastic spirit and hereafter denote as FS) through works including Ovid’s Narcissus and Echo (AD 8), Dante Alighieri’s Vita Nuova (1292-1300), Yokomitsu Riichi’s Haru wa Basha ni notte (1915), Miyazawa Kenji’s Ginga tetsudo no yoru (1934), and James Joyce’s The Dead (1914). This comparative analysis differentiates, synthesizes, and advances upon conventional conceptions of the fantastic spirit narrative. What emerges is an understanding of how fantastic spirit narratives have developed and how their changes reflect conceptions of identity, alterity, and spirituality. Whether the afterlife is imagined as spatial relocation, transformation of consciousness, transformation of body, or hallucination, the role of the fantastic spirit is delineated by the degree to which it elicits a more profound relationship between the Self and Other.

Doyle Professor of English, Science, Technology and Society, and Information Science and Technology Nancy Locke Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract This dissertation examines the ways that five contemporary artists—Mark Dion (b. 1961), Fred Tomaselli (b. 1956), Walton Ford (b. 1960), Roxy Paine (b. 1966) and Cy Twombly (b. 1928)—have adopted the visual traditions and theoretical formulations of historical natural history to explore longstanding relationships between “nature” and “culture” and begin new dialogues about emerging paradigms, wherein plants, animals and fungi engage in ecologically-conscious dialogues. Using motifs such as curiosity cabinets and systems of taxonomy, these artists demonstrate a growing interest in the paradigms of natural history. For these practitioners natural history operates within the realm of history, memory and mythology, inspiring them to make works that examine a scientific paradigm long thought to be obsolete. This study, which itself takes on the form of a curiosity cabinet, identifies three points of consonance among these artists.
  • History of Taxonomy

    History of Taxonomy

    History of Taxonomy The history of taxonomy dates back to the origin of human language. Western scientific taxonomy started in Greek some hundred years BC and are here divided into prelinnaean and postlinnaean. The most important works are cited and the progress of taxonomy (with the focus on botanical taxonomy) are described up to the era of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who founded modern taxonomy. The development after Linnaeus is characterized by a taxonomy that increasingly have come to reflect the paradigm of evolution. The used characters have extended from morphological to molecular. Nomenclatural rules have developed strongly during the 19th and 20th century, and during the last decade traditional nomenclature has been challenged by advocates of the Phylocode.

Earliest taxonomy Taxonomy is as old as the language skill of mankind. It has always been essential to know the names of edible as well as poisonous plants in order to communicate acquired experiences to other members of the family and the tribe. Since my profession is that of a systematic botanist, I will focus my lecture on botanical taxonomy. A taxonomist should be aware of that apart from scientific taxonomy there is and has always been folk taxonomy, which is of great importance in, for example, ethnobiological studies. When we speak about ancient taxonomy we usually mean the history in the Western world, starting with Romans and Greek. However, the earliest traces are not from the West, but from the East.
