Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1348 Copyright by Stephen Weninger 1999 ABSTRACT Many studies of the Aesthetic Movement still presume it was fundamentally an idealist over-evaluation of art. It has even been stated that the logical consummation of its premises is not only an unethical ahistoricism but fascism. This dissertation argues that these cultural productions, highly responsive to the new biologies, focused on the human body. As such, Aestheticism was no ivory-tower cult of art, but a gesture o f ideological rebellion against the era's underlying myths of determinism and human perfectibility. Chapter one demonstrates how Rossetti's "Jenny," an interior monologue of a scholar before a sleeping prostitute, foregrounds the body as such and how it subverts the courtly love tradition Rossettian texts seemingly support. The next chapter argues that the painting Dantis Amor similarly dramatizes the lover's melancholy before the intransigent body. Chapter three, a broad reading of Pater's texts, contends that his numerous images of malady and his various grotesquerie are central to his material aesthetics. His short story, "Sebastian van Storck," studied in the following section, typically critiques all philosophies which would abstract corporeality. Chapter five discusses the early modernist turn towards a healthy, masculine aesthetic, against Aestheticism's "decadent" and "effeminate " art. This reactionary strain is discerned in the new Glaskultur, from avant-garde manifestoes to fictional texts like Herbert Read's The Green Child. The important issues of social ideology raised here are the subject of the remaining pages. First, I explore the neglected links between Victorian Hellenism, the ascendant theories of "Aryanism, " and Prussian classicism. The Aestheticist body, I suggest, was an ignored counterweight to this fantasized affiliation, an imagined anatomy which would play a crucial role in the barbarity of the fascist biocracy. ii The final chapter contrasts the depth model of the body which structures nineteenth-century idealism, high modernism and fascist aesthetics with the palimpsest model favored by Rossetti, Pater and Wilde. Aestheticism attempted to work out a poetics (and by implication a politics) of the diseased, heterogeneous body as opposed to the "healthy" and "transparent" Victorian body which found new life in early modem thought and ultimately in the corporeal politics of fascism. ui In memory of my uncle Dr. Weninger Antal (1902-1993) IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express (with the usual disclaimers) my deepest thanks to my adviser, David Riede, who fostered my interest in Aestheticism and directed this work. The unfailing rightness of his comments were matched only by his unsparing kindness. I also benefited from the suggestions of the other members of my committee, Mark Conroy and Susan Williams. Wittingly or not, all usefully reinforced Pater's keen insight that we "hold our theories lightly." Debts, intellectual and otherwise, are owed to many others. Foremost among them are: Mic and Nan Billet, John Covolo, Gosia Gabrys, Elana Gomel, Marie-Paule Ha, and Jim Hsu.

  • A Politics of Regulation: Haussmann's Planning Practice and Badiou's
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by LSE Theses Online THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE A Politics of Regulation: Haussmann’s Planning Practice and Badiou’s Philosophy Antoine Michel Paccoud A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography and Environment of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2012 1 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 103,470 words (including 6,232 words of footnotes, essentially the original French versions of material quoted within the text). 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with empirically determining whether a particular political sequence can be interpreted through Badiou’s philosophy. It focuses on the public works that transformed Paris in the middle of the 19th century, and more specifically on Haussmann’s planning practice. From an epistolary exchange between property owners, Haussmann and the Minister of the Interior during Haussmann’s first years as Prefect of the Seine, the thesis draws out a political event: the playing out in a singular context of an opposition over a political practice predicated on equality.

  • The Carlyle Society
    THE CARLYLE SOCIETY SESSION 2006-2007 OCCASIONAL PAPERS 19 • Edinburgh 2006 President’s Letter This number of the Occasional Papers outshines its predecessors in terms of length – and is a testament to the width of interests the Society continues to sustain. It reflects, too, the generosity of the donation which made this extended publication possible. The syllabus for 2006-7, printed at the back, suggests not only the health of the society, but its steady move in the direction of new material, new interests. Visitors and new members are always welcome, and we are all warmly invited to the annual Scott lecture jointly sponsored by the English Literature department and the Faculty of Advocates in October. A word of thanks for all the help the Society received – especially from its new co-Chair Aileen Christianson – during the President’s enforced absence in Spring 2006. Thanks, too, to the University of Edinburgh for its continued generosity as our host for our meetings, and to the members who often anonymously ensure the Society’s continued smooth running. 2006 saw the recognition of the Carlyle Letters’ international importance in the award by the new Arts and Humanities Research Council of a very substantial grant – well over £600,000 – to ensure the editing and publication of the next three annual volumes. At a time when competition for grants has never been stronger, this is a very gratifying and encouraging outcome. In the USA, too, a very substantial grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities means that later this year the eCarlyle project should become “live” on the internet, and subscribers will be able to access all the volumes to date in this form.

    1997 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL The 1997 Sundance Film Festival continued to attract crowds, international attention and an appreciative group of alumni fi lmmakers. Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.
