    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2012 Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Diane Hoeveler Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature," in L'obsession à l'œuvre: littérature, cinéma et société en Grande-Bretagne. Eds. Jean- François Baiollon and Paul Veyret. Bourdeaux: CLIMAS, 2012: 15-32. Publisher Link. © 2012 CLIMAS. Used with permission. Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Perhaps it was totally predictable that the past year has seen both the publication of a major book by Lennard Davis entitled Obsession!, as well as a new two player board game called "Obsession" in which one player wins by moving his ten rings along numbered slots. Interest in obsession, it would seem, is everywhere in high and low cultures. For Davis, obsession is both a cultural manifestation of what modernity has wrought, and a psychoanalytical phenomenon: in fact, he defines it as a recurring thought whose content has become disconnected from its original significance causing the dominance of repetitive mental intrusions (Davis 6). Recent studies have revealed that there are five broad categories of obsession: dirt and contamination, aggression, the placing of inanimate objects in order, sex, and finally religion2 Another recent study, however, claims that obsessive thoughts generally center on three main themes: the aggressive, the sexual, or the blasphemous (qtd. Davis 9). It is that last category - the blasphemous - that I think emerges in British gothic literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly as seen in the persistent anti-Catholicism that plays such a central role in so many of those works (Radcliffe's The italian, Lewis's The Monk, and Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer being only the most obvious).

    SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE (ICLC DRAFT DOCUMENT) BOOK I *********************************************** THE EARLY SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE ************************************** THE FRENCH REVOLUTION of 1789-1815: A SYNARCHIST INTERNATIONAL EXERCISE IN PURGATIVE VIOLENCE ************************** by Pierre Beaudry LEESBURG VIRGINIA, JUNE 2005 1 DEDICATION. This book is dedicated to the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) worldwide, and particularly to the French LYM, who deserve to know the truth about French history and world affairs. Previous generations of French citizens had settled their accounts with their immediate past history by either going to war, or by getting involved into absurd coups d'Etat, however, they never knew why they were doing so. My generation of Bohemian Bourgeois (BoBos) has not done that; it didn't care to do anything for history, nor for the future generations. It was only interested in lying and in taking care of "Me, Me, Me!" The problem that the youth of today are face with is that the truth about the French Revolution, about Napoleon Bonaparte, about the synarchy, about the destruction of the Third Republic, or about Vichy fascism, has never been told. So, either the truth comes out now, and finally exorcises the French population as a whole, once and forever, or else the French nation is doomed to repeat the same mistakes of the past, again and again. 2 BEASTMAN BONAPARTE 3 SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE (ICLC DRAFT DOCUMENT) BOOK I *********************************************** THE EARLY SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE ************************************** THE FRENCH REVOLUTION of 1789-1815: A SYNARCHIST INTERNATIONAL EXERCISE IN PURGATIVE VIOLENCE ************************** 1.1 THE ORIGINAL MARTINIST CULT OF LYON . ………………………………18 1.2 INTRODUCTION 2.2 RELIGIOUS FANATICISM OF THE MARTINIST CULT 3.2 THE GNOSTIC HERESY AND THE MARTINIST SYNARCHY 4.2 THE CATHARS 5.2 WHAT IS MARTINISM? 6.2 THE CHARACTERISTIC OF LOUIS-CLAUDE DE SAINT-MARTIN.

  • UNIVERSITY of PITTSBURGH Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures
    UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures Russian 2301. Pushkin, Lermontov, and the Ethics of Appropriation Fall 2010 CL 2321, Wed 2.30-5.25 Jonathan Platt [email protected] Office: CL 1421A, phone: 412-624-5714 Hours: Mon 3.00-5.00 or by appt. While this course provides a useful survey of the major works of Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov, our primary focus will be these authors‟ engagement with and appropriation of a range of Western European themes, motifs, genres, and aesthetic strategies. We will consider these acts of appropriation from a variety of theoretical perspectives in an effort to understand how Pushkin and Lermontov‟s texts incorporate a common European inheritance in different ways. At the heart of our discussions will be a concern with the ethics of appropriation. We will ask what the creative acts of borrowing, imitation, and quotation reveal about the subject positions Pushkin and Lermontov define in their works. Our interest in the ethical core of aesthetics will also be reflected in the works covered in the course—most of which deal with the dynamics of self and other, love and death, desire and transgression. Readings: Readings for the course will be made available (as links or attached files) on Courseweb as the semester progresses. Readings marked (R) are recommended, but not required. I will make an effort to provide both the original and a English or Russian translation of all French and German readings. Please have copies (either printed or electronic) of the required readings with you for reference in class.

  • L'histoire Du Festin De La Mort En Littérature Produit Celle Des Démons Aussi
    L’histoire du festin de la mort en littérature Mémoire de fin d’études au Département de littérature française de l’Université Sophia présenté par Ayae SUZUKI 2009 Introduction Le XIX e siècle en France est l’époque où la culture de gastronomie s’épanouit d’un seul trait. Ce phénomène est pour ainsi dire le produit de l’histoire : lors la révolution en 1789 les nobles exilés laissèrent leur cuisiniers particuliers qui ouvrirent plusieurs restaurants à la capitale Paris pour faire des repas somptueux affranchis du monopole de la classe privilégiée. Les hommes du jour se pressent alors dans les restaurants de première classe telle que Rocher de Cancale ou Véry. Et de plus les bourgeois montants ont envie d’imiter « les splendeurs des rois 1» au travers du dîner, comme Balzac le décrit dans Le Cousin Pons (1847). La puissance financière passe du faubourg Saint-Germain où habitent les nobles de famille illustre à la Chaussée d'Antin où s’établissent les parvenus. Leur festin fait évoquer celui de Trimalcion peint dans le Satyricon de Pétrone. Le temps est sous le règne de Néron. Un affranchi Trimalcion donne un festin avec un faste comme celui des rois et avec des voluptés abominables. Au sein du festin, un esclave apporte un squelette en argent. C’est le memento mori 2 qui « est destiné à rappeler au buveur et au jouisseur l’inéluctabilité de la mort, donc la nécessité de jouir de la vie 3 ». Cette pensée épicurienne dans la Rome antique est renouvelée par certains jeunes gens de Paris du XIXe siècle.

In Germany he explored all popular traditions in regard to Faust, even dow^n to the puppet- plays. The oldest Faust-book of 1587, which he read in connection with his translation of the First Part of Goethe's Faust, is printed at the end of his translation of the Second Part of this poem (1840). Gerard de Nerval cherished for many years the project of a French adaptation of the Faust legend. He left behind a manu- script fragment of a Faust play, containing the first act and the beginning of the second act. The manuscript is interrupted at the point where Mephistopheles counsels Faust to forget Margaret for the beautiful courtesans of antiquity, Helena,^" Cleopatra^^ and Aspasia.^^ Gerard de Nerval abandoned the project of finishing this play of Faust when a copy of Klinger's work already mentioned finally fell into his hands. This philosophical novel was well known to the French public. It was translated into French six years after its first publication and again in 1808 and 1823. Among the drama- tizations of this novel in France may be mentioned les Aventiires de Faust et sa descente aux enfers by de Saur and de Saint-Genies, which was produced for the first time in 1825, and M.

He responded to, borrowed from, and adapted parts of t11e works of Maria Edgeworth, Harriet Lee, Madame de Stael, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth lnchbald, Hannah Cowley, Joanna Baillie, Lady Caroline Lamb, Mary Robmson, and Charlotte Dacre. The influence of women writers on his career may also be seen in the development of the female (and male) characters in his narrative poetry and drama. This essay focuses on the influence upon Byron of Lee, \nchbald, Stal!l, Dacre, and Lamb, and secondarily on Byron's response to intellectual women like Lady Oxford, Lady Melbourne, as well as the works of male wrtters, such as Thomas Moore, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth, who affected his portrayal of the genders.

  • Berlioz, Hoffmann, and the Genre Fantastique in French Romanticism
    BERLIOZ, HOFFMANN, AND THE GENRE FANTASTIQUE IN FRENCH ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Francesca Mary Brittan August 2007 © 2007 Francesca Mary Brittan BERLIOZ, HOFFMANN, AND THE GENRE FANTASTIQUE IN FRENCH ROMANTICISM Francesca Mary Brittan, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2007 Taking Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique as its focus, this dissertation explores the idea of a musical fantastic in nineteenth-century France. It offers a series of new readings of Berlioz’s first symphony that trace the work’s connection to literature, politics, visual art, and science, reconnecting it with the broader culture of the fantastic that evolved in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Europe. Drawing extensively on nineteenth-century criticism, it identifies Berlioz as one of the key exponents of the genre fantastique, a musical category closely tied to the works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Jacques Callot, Victor Hugo, Salvator Rosa, and Dante Alighieri, and theorized in major journals and dictionaries of the period. Chapter One begins by gathering together Berlioz’s own commentary on the musical fantastic, examining its implications for form, syntax, and orchestration. It goes on to look at reception of the Symphonie fantastique, tracing theories of the musical fantastic as they emerge in the nineteenth-century press and at broader notions of fantastic genius that permeate Hoffmann’s tales and French contes fantastiques. Chapter Two examines relationships between Berlioz’s symphonic program and emerging French psychiatric theory, identifying the idée fixe at the center of the work as the primary symptom of a pseudo-scientific disease called monomania.
