Weapons of the Spirit, the film, is finished, for betteror for worse. But words have always mattered to me as much or more than pictures. This transcript will in time evolve into Weapons of the SpiritThe Book. The idea is an illustrated and annotated transcriptannotated byme and by others, perhaps including you. My model, simplistically speaking, is the Talmud: I love the idea of commentariesupon commentaries. The few rough and random footnotes included in today's edition probably donot suggest what I am still wroping towards. Another model, at least for the marketing of this transcript, is thecomputer software industry, with its periodic upgrades of programs. This is release 1.1. I welcome your feedback, your comments, your questions,your criticisms. I will not answer all of those who may writeI have still not masteredmy schedule that way. But I certainly always read all that I receive, often with extreme interest. Indeed, I will especially welcome comments bearingon specific, even ostensibly minor points. I will in fact integrate some of these comments in the future updatesthat will precede final hard- bound publication. Finally, I wish to stress that a film, of course, is not meant to be read.Its words are chosen for their effect in combination with pictures, silence, sounds, and music. Anybody reading this without having seen the film will be missing muchessential and indeed quintessential material which has not here been reduced to words,or even as yet to photographs. Moreover, the interruptions that I will providemore andmore frequent as this transcript evolves, and as yet frustratingly unmediated by artfulpage layoutwill for such a reader resemble the annoying mumbling of somebody who insistson talking to you when you're obviously trying to concentrate on something else Chances are, however, that if you've ordered the transcript,you may be interested in knowing more about how the film came to be and some of the choices and influences that brought it into being.

  • (IN)CONNUE by Jennifer Ann Young
    ABSTRACT DEUIL D’UNE (IN)CONNUE By Jennifer Ann Young Contemporary French author Patrick Modiano’s novels center almost entirely around memory and the traumatic events surrounding the Occupation. Modiano has spent most of his life dealing with the guilty remorse of having been born directly following the Occupation, while hundreds of thousands of others, including his estranged father, experienced it directly. Modiano’s Dora Bruder focuses on the chance encounter with a stranger and the possibility of caring deeply for this person. The heroine, Dora Bruder, mesmerizes Modiano as he devotes six years of his life to finding out the fate of this young girl, who disappeared during the Occupation. Her fate becomes his mission. This thesis explores the possibilities of loving someone without ever having met him or her. It also further discovers the (im)possibility of mourning the loss of an unknown individual.

    PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current.

  • Proust and the Discourse on Habit
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: PROUST AND THE DISCOURSE ON HABIT Amy Ross Loeserman, Doctor of Philosophy , 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Pierre Verdaguer Department of French and Italian A la recherche du temps perdu b y Marcel Proust is replete with a discourse by the principal character, the narrator Marcel, on the subject of habit (“habitude” in French). This discourse meticulously explores the ubiquitous but concealed role that habit plays with respect to the most s ignificant aspects of life, such as emotions, cognitive processes, and aesthetic experiences, and it explicitly relates not only to the novel’s characters, but to humanity in general. The critical commentary on the novel has largely ignored this subject. This dissertation provides the only comprehensive collection and analysis of the Proustian commentary on habit in A la recherche du temps perdu. It is not by chance that habit was deeply explored in Proust’s novel or that it has been largely overlooked by the critical commentary. Historically, philosophers have paid substantial attention to habit. Habit was a focus of controversial philosophical/psychological theories in 19th century France regarding memory and consciousness, spirit and matter. Pro ust’s commentary was directly related to the prominent philosophical issues of his time. This dissertation discusses the broad meanings of habit, first as developed by Aristotle and St. Thomas; then by French essayists, through Montaigne, Pascal, and the philosophes ; and finally culminating in the great 19th century works on habit by Maine de Biran and Félix Ravaisson. It also reviews substantial contributions on habit made by other French writers and philosophers, notably Stendhal and Alfred Fouillée.
