  • De Sade's Theatrical Passions
    06.puchner 4/19/05 2:28 PM Page 111 Martin Puchner Sade’s Theatrical Passions The Theater of the Revolution The Marquis de Sade entered theater history in 1964 when the Royal Shakespeare Company, under the direction of Peter Brook, presented a play by the unknown author Peter Weiss entitled, The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.1 Marat/Sade, as the play is usually called, became an extraordinary success story.2 By com- bining narrators with techniques developed in a multi-year workshop entitled “Theater of Cruelty,” Marat/Sade managed to link the two modernist visionaries of the theater whom everybody had considered to be irreconcilable opposites: Bertolt Brecht and Antonin Artaud. Marat/Sade not only fabricated a new revolutionary theater from the vestiges of modernism, it also coincided with a philosophical and cul- tural revision of the French revolution that had begun with Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s The Dialectics of Enlightenment (1944/69) and found a preliminary culmination in Michel Foucault’s History of Madness (1972). At the same time, the revival of Sade was fu- eled by the first complete publication of his work in French (1967) and by Roland Barthes’ landmark study, Sade Fourier Loyola (1971).3 Marat/Sade had thus hit a theatrical and intellectual nerve. Sade, however, belongs to theater history as more than just a char- acter in a play.Little is known about the historical Sade’s life-long pas- sion for the theater, about his work as a theater builder and manager, an actor and director.

    A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Matthew Bridge All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge This doctoral dissertation looks at several readings and interpretations of the works of the Marquis de Sade, from the eighteenth century to the present. Ever since he was imprisoned under the Old Regime following highly publicized instances of physical and sexual abuse, Sade has remained a controversial figure who has been both condemned as a dangerous criminal and celebrated as an icon for artistic freedom. The most enduring aspect of his legacy has been a vast collection of obscene publications, characterized by detailed descriptions of sexual torture and murder, along with philosophical diatribes that offer theoretical justifications for the atrocities. Not surprisingly, Sade’s works have been subject to censorship almost from the beginning, leading to the author’s imprisonment under Napoleon and to the eventual trials of his mid-twentieth-century publishers in France and Japan. The following pages examine the reception of Sade’s works in relation to the legal concept of obscenity, which provides a consistent framework for textual interpretation from the 1790s to the present. I begin with a prelude discussing the 1956 trial of Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in order to situate the remainder of the dissertation within the context of how readers approached a body of work as quintessentially obscene as that of Sade.

  • Enlightenment Notes
    The Enlightenment Definition: The European intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries emphasizing reason, science, and individualism (rather than tradition and revelation) as the primary sources of truth and as the catalyst to human flourishing. This epoch is also known in intellectual history as the “Modern Era” or the “Age of Reason.” Why is it called the Enlightenment? Humanity was progressing away from the authority, tradition, and religious superstition (i.e. Christianity) of the “Dark Ages” and into the light of an age of unbridled human progress. What lead to the Enlightenment? -The Renaissance in the 14th -17th centuries lead to the rise of the liberal arts called “humanism.” It was a “rebirth” (what the French word, “renaissance” means) of classical learning. The Renaissance focused on studying the classics of ancient Greece and Rome, going back to the original sources of classical learning (“ad fontes”), and proliferation of the arts. -The Reformation had weakened the stranglehold of the Roman Catholic Church on society. But the radical strictness of Protestant orthodoxy was seen as too legalistic and depressing. People wanted to move away from the Catholic Church but not toward the confines of Protestant morality. -Europeans were tired of all the wars and fighting between Protestants and Catholics. From their perspective, Christianity had led to nothing but authoritarian warfare. -New innovations in science and philosophy. Worldview in the Pre-Modern, Modern, and Post-Modern era Pre-Modern Era Modern Era Post-Modern Era (Enlightenment) Truth Objective: Revealed Objective: Reasoned Not objective: Only by God to or discovered in an attempt to gain science power Approach Supernatural Rational Nonrational Authority Church/Tradition Reason None Humanity Corporate Individual Undefinable Highest Subject of Theology Science Sociology and Study Politics: Power Structures Highest Value God Humanity Self Select major players and how they contributed to the worldview of the modern era.

  • The Idea of ''A Turning Point'' and the Specific Features of the Time
    THE IDEA OF ''A TURNING POINT'' AND THE SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE TIME Laurence VANOFLEN, Lecturer in Literature and Philosophy, Paris Nanterre University Part 1 – Continuity and new openings To finish off this course, let's dwell on the final decades of the 18th century. For a long time, it was seen as a waiting time between the Enlightenment struggles and the advent of romanticism. It was a time of change towards creative and, for a long while, misunderstood activity. Under the devaluing label ''pre- romanticism'', Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Bernardin de Saint-Pierre would announce the arrival of a weaker version of a romanticism to come. For the last thirty years, we've preferred to talk of a turning point in the Enlightenment. This image underlines both the continuity and the deep splits taking place. They did not boil down to revolutionary upheavals, even if they were often accelerated or brought to light by the sudden collapse of the Ancient Regime. All the philosophers were dead by 1789, Voltaire and Rousseau in 1778, Diderot in 1784, but the publication of their work continued and remained a reference for revolutionaries. Their successors carried on their work right up to the Empire by way of new intellectual institutions, the Institute being one of them. Condillac's sensualism, or atheism among the more radical, is taken on by ideologists who, after Condorcet, took charge of the practical application of scientific methods in society. As such, they gathered anthropological and medical knowledge. They studied mental patients, the deaf, the mute, even uncivilised children so as to better understand brain function.

  • Materialism, Instrumental Reason, and Hostile Enlightenment
    Materialism, Instrumental Reason, and Hostile Enlightenment The Marquis de Sade as the Antithesis of the Enlightenment Mykyta Storozhenko Florida Atlantic University Introduction The aim of this paper is to tie together the Enlightenment ideas regarding Materialism and Instrumental Reason with Pierre Saint-Amand’s thought in his “Hostile Enlightenment” article. The paper will be a quadripartite, and will include the following: (1) a description of Julien Offray de la Mettrie’s materialist philosophy and his rejection of Cartesian reason, as well as a discussion of his ideas’ relevance and influence; (2) a description of the Marquis de Sade’s philosophy, particularly his materialism; (3) a reading of Pierre Saint-Amand’s “Hostile Enlightenment” with a particular focus on his thoughts regarding Sade; (4) a conclusion, in which I will argue that Sade is a direct representation of the Enlightenment giving birth to its own antithesis. Section 1.1 Julien Offray de la Mettrie’s Materialism and Rejection of Cartesian Reason In his “Man a Machine,” Julien Offray de la Mettrie offers up a materialistic and mechanistic account of man so radical that it “shocked even some of the most irreligious of his fellow philosophes.”1 But what is it about his mechanistic and materialistic account that is so radical, shocking, and repulsive to his fellow philosophes? To understand just how far- out his philosophy was, I am going to offer an interpretation of his “Man a Machine.” I will first address his metaphysical materialism, and then his empiricist method

    1 Section 0679 | Number 16673 Instructor: Roger Maioli ([email protected]) Zoom meeting times: Wednesdays, periods 9–11 (4:05 PM–7:05 PM, Eastern time) Office hours: by appointment Course description In 1789, when Britain was still dealing with the repercussions of the American Revolution, a different upheaval erupted closer to home. In its egalitarian principles and troubled development, the French Revolution evoked both excitement and revulsion among British observers. For some, like Mary Wollstonecraft and Tom Paine, the revolution in France provided an opportunity for finally bringing the rights of men and women to the forefront of British political debate. For others, like Edmund Burke and Hannah More, the Revolution was a threat to the moral and religious fabric of British society. In waging war on one another, each side in this debate developed a different narrative of the events taking place in France, portraying the revolution either as the triumph of progressive values against centuries of oppression, or as the catastrophic end of institutions that had slowly evolved through the wisdom of the ages. The issues at stake in narrating the French Revolution were many: Is there such a thing as universal human rights that cut across class boundaries? Should women share space with men in the public sphere? Should the ideal of freedom be extended to the victims of slavery? What is the role of religion in modern secular societies? Is violence justifiable in the name of a greater good? These questions lie at the center not only of the political pamphlets of the age but also of its imaginative literature.

  • Chapter 4 Sade and the French Revolution
    Chapter 4 Sade and the French Revolution Monarchist or republican? ‘What am I?’ Sade wrote in 1791 to his lawyer, Gaufridy, ‘aristocrat or democrat? Please tell me . because I know nothing any more.’ This seemingly heartfelt plea suggests a genuine sense of confusion on the part of the now former marquis and citizen of the new French republic, although it has to be said that he was writing to a man whom he knew to be a monarchist. Whichever response to Sade’s own question the reader may favour, there are plenty of arguments to be marshalled in support. Many have accused Sade of unabashed political opportunism in the Revolution. After all, throughout his life, Sade was capable of behaving like any other feudal lord of the manor, pulling rank when it suited him. Moreover, Sade’s tendencies towards self-dramatization are never too far below the surface, and the theatre of revolution certainly provided him with ample opportunities to role-play. Indeed, days before the Bastille was stormed, Sade is said to have harangued the street crowds from his cell, urging them to rise up and revolt – perhaps the most theatrical of all episodes in his very theatrical life. Sade consciously dramatized this event, turning it into a founding moment of the French Revolution for the sake of the Revolutionary Tribunal, casting himself in the lead role of ‘liberator’ of the Bastille.
