The Eighth Veil: the Poetics and Aesthetics of Ambiguity in Oscar Wilde’S Salomé The Eighth Veil: The Poetics and Aesthetics of Ambiguity in Oscar Wilde’s Salomé Gerrard Carter Supervisors: Dr Bertrand Bourgeois and Associate Professor Jacqueline Dutton Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy March 2017 School of Languages and Linguistics, French Studies Program The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Oscar Wilde’s 1891 radical tragedy Salomé is infused with symbolism, decadence and erotic transgression. Ambiguity is also a key characteristic that enhances and extends the aesthetic and textual analysis of Wilde’s rare French symbolist work, and yet it is often overlooked. Through a semiotic and transtextual analysis of the poetics and aesthetics in Salomé, this thesis examines the function of ambiguity in the play and how this notion creates an open work to be actively interpreted by readers. From the perspective of the present study, the decisive role of semiotics in relation to Wilde’s Salomé is that it promotes an interactive process between text and reader. Through the interpretation of signs, Salomé, as an ambiguous text, cries out for elaboration as it enticingly beckons the addressee to become its co-author. The dominant function of Wilde’s treatment of the Salomé myth is that of experimentation. It is the result of the author’s original and creative experimentation that presents the reader with a high degree of ambiguity. The innate ambiguity of the text engenders a literary response, as the reader engages in an intertextual pas de deux. This metaphorical dance enables the reader to unlock the text’s meaning while also permitting freedom for creative adaptions. The methodology employed in this thesis to demonstrate Salomé’s masked or ambiguous motives is a combination of Umberto Eco’s concept of the open work and French narratological theories of hypertextuality. Through an examination of the use of a foreign language and the transtextual mosaic of the Salomé myth, this thesis will demonstrate how generating interpretations becomes an essential element of Salomé’s poetics and aesthetics. This study reveals, for instance, that Wilde’s enigmatic Dance of the Seven Veils is now synonymous with the myth today and has fired the imagination of countless artists from a variety of media. By comparing the use of French as a veil to conceal the themes of decadence, necrophilia and erotic sensuality of the femme fatale, this thesis seeks to elucidate Oscar Wilde’s motivations to write a very implicit, allusive and ambiguous play in French. To discover such motives would be to lift the eighth veil, the veil of ambiguity. i This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD except where indicated, (ii) due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. ii PREFACE One of my earliest memories I have as a child is seeing the film Jesus of Nazareth directed by Franco Zeffirelli. I must have been five years old but the image of the dancing Salomé surrounded by flames was indelibly etched in my mind and has remained so for a lifetime. What was it that captivated that young boy to engender a life long obsession with this biblical myth? Apart from being drawn in by the drama, the underlying theme of a desire so powerful that it can lead to death has perplexed me all my life. Another prominent childhood memory is the discovery of my eldest sister’s high school French book, a visually strange language coupled with unfamiliar accents that echoed from a world away. This early love of foreign languages, led me to an Irish author who had composed a play about Salomé in a language other than his own, French. It was this awareness that inspired my quest to discover what lies beneath the eighth veil. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many influential forces that have guided me throughout this process. First and foremost, I would like to thank my principal supervisor Dr Bertrand Bourgeois whose positive feedback, meticulous corrections and recommended reading list widened my perspective. I would also like to thank my secondary supervisor Associate Professor Jacqueline Dutton whose timely feedback and insightful restructuring kept this project on track. Special thanks to the generous staff at Melbourne University Libraries, State Library of Victoria, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris-Sorbonne Libraries, National Library of Sweden: Kungliga Biblioteket, Stockholms Universitetsbibliotek and the personal library of Dr Sven-Johan Spånberg in Uppsala, who gave me upon departure my most cherished first edition of Oscar Wilde’s Complete Letters. My sincere gratitude to the Director of Columbia Global Centers in Paris, Dr Brunhilde Biebuyck, whose undergraduate Directed Research program was my initiation into academic scholarship. I want to thank her for providing me office space upon my return to Paris and for her passionate support that I carried with me throughout this study. Special thanks to her devoted staff at Reid Hall especially Christine Babef, Christine Valero, Laurence Gallu and professors Dr Camille Martin, Dr Olivier Sécardin and especially Dr Jean-Baptiste Amadieu who directed my undergraduate senior mémoire honors thesis on Salomé. Special thanks to Lindsay Kemp and Kelley Abbey for interviews. Lastly, my family: my sisters Deborah, Janine, Naomi, Simone, and Denise for unconditional love and support especially during the final stages of this thesis. To my father Colin and my mother Judith, who although they weren’t granted the opportunity to complete high school, valued education as life’s greatest gift. It was their sacrifice and undying devotion to their children that drove me to pursue a PhD. It is to my parents that I dedicate this work. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction: From Mask to Truth, From Truth to Mask…..…………………................1 Salomé’s French Transparency…………………………………………………….........6 Ambiguity Embraced……………………………………………………………….…..11 Ambiguity Gone Wild/e………………………………………………………………..17 An Intertextual Invitation to Openly Dance with Ambiguity.……….………................21 Chapter 1: The Sulamite of Sodom: Wilde’s Tapestry of the Abject and the Subversion of the Biblical Myth……….…………………………………………………….……..27 Salomé’s Intertextual Mosaic of Desire………………………………………………..29 Renan’s Interpretation of the Erotic Song………………………………………….…..38 The Birth of the Monstrous-Feminine……………………………………….................47 The Song of Sexual Yearning….…………..…...……………………………………....50 Cloven Gender: Ambiguity and Nick Cave’s Decadent Aesthetics of Desire................64 Chapter 2: Salomé/Salome’s Outré Art: Sustaining the Fin-de-Siècle Attack…...…....83 Translation and the Diminishing Effect of the Symbolist Voice………………………87 Salomé and the Power of the Visual Paratext………………………………………...102 The Intertextual Dialogue Between the Perverse and the Obscure…………………...120 Chapter 3: The Dance of the Seven Veils: Elucidating Wilde’s Invisible Dance.........125 The Cryptic Seven and the Ambiguity of Naming………….………………………...127 Flaubert’s Dance of Amplification…………………………….……………………...131 Wilde’s Anticipatory Dance of Desire…………………………….………………….139 v Lindsay Kemp’s Appropriation of the Dance of the Seven Veils…………………….144 Kelley Abbey and the Dancing Sexualized Archetype.………………………….…...160 Conclusion: The Eighth Veil of Ambiguity…………………………………………..176 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………….187 vi LIST OF FIGURES 1.

Oscar Wilde, The Critic As Artist, 1891. Infused with symbolism, decadence and erotic transgression, Oscar Wilde’s 1891 radical tragedy Salomé allowed the author to attend his own unique masquerade ball. It was a ball of fantasy where the orchestral accompaniment was French symbolism and fellow attendees were the French literary elite he so admired. Wilde’s employment of a metaphorical mask in the composition of Salomé provided a forum, which offered the author the creative freedom to speak the unspeakable. Furthermore, Salomé became the catalyst for Wilde to realise his innermost ambition to be recognized and respected as a French author.

  • Editing Flaubert: from Paper to Screen
    1 Communication inédite prononcée lors du séminaire de Bergen (Norvège), 26-27 mai 2005 (Université de Bergen / AKSIS – Université Lumière Lyon 2-CNRS / LIRE) : « Publication et lecture numériques. Défis et processus engagés par l’édition critique et les activités de lecture sur supports numériques ». Editing Flaubert: From Paper to Screen. Among Texts and Avant-textes. Stéphanie Dord-Crouslé (CNRS – UMR 5611 LIRE) In order to deal with the editorial problems raised by the work of Gustave Flaubert, I would like here to focus on the point of intersection of two developments, both of them historical, although in different senses. The first one is related to a changing technological situation, thanks to the fast and widespread movement towards using digital supports for the publication of large-scale corpora. The networks for publishing research in France, nonetheless, remain strongly tied to the printed medium. The second problem, less historical than biographical, is rather in connection with my scientific career. I would like to explain how my work on Flaubert’s avant-textes and their publication have transformed my vision of what the final edited version of a text should be, whether it be on paper or in digital form. I will thus especially try to emphasize the interferences at the crossroads (between history and my story), while describing various projects in progress. The corpus of Flaubert’s « complete works » is well defined and of approachable size; it has nothing in common with Balzac's Human Comedy or Proust's Remembrance of Things Past . It contains a collection of « short stories », entitled Three Tales , four novels: Madame Bovary , Salammbô , A Sentimental Education and Bouvard and Pécuchet , and a text of a problematic genre : The Temptation of Saint Anthony , a hybrid between novella and play.

Herodias’ Story, Herstory – Kazimiera Zawistowska’s Poetry, Young Poland, and Female Decadence Heidi Liedke Queen Mary, University of London The contradictory currents that shaped Europe at the turn of the century were reflected in the literary production of the time. The Polish literature of the fin de siècle is an especially interesting case in point: Poland, which had disappeared from the map of Europe completely for 123 years (from 1795 to 1918), was partitioned at that time and its own literary past was blended with cultural influences from Habsburg Austria, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Russian Empire. As a consequence, a distinctly new Polish literature emerged, one that captured the essence of cosmopolitanism.1 Maria Podraza-Kwiatkowska refers to the literature produced between 1890- 1918 as ‘Młoda Polska’ [Young Poland] and chooses this term because of its neutrality that nevertheless captures the divergent tendencies within it, spanning Symbolism and Expressionism. In contrast to other scholars, Podraza-Kwiatkowska dismisses the terms ‘Decadence’ and ‘Modernism’ because they encompass broader phenomena than literature.2 These dynamics of blending were in tension with the lived realities of all Poles.

    Xavier de Maistre Expédition nocturne autour de ma chambre Un texte du domaine public. Une édition libre. bibebook www.bibebook.com Préface avier de Maistre. Né à Chambéry en 1763, Xavier de Maistre appartenait à une famille Xde magistrats. Son père était président du Sénat de Savoie et son frère Joseph fut membre de la même assemblée jusqu’à l’invasion du pays par les Français. Xavier choisit le métier des armes. Officier sarde, il ne voulut point servir le conquérant français. Lorsqu’en 1802 son frère fut nommé par Victor-Emmanuel 1er, ambassadeur à Saint-Pétersbourg, Xavier le suivit en Russie et s’engagea dans l’armée du Tsar. Il participa comme officier aux campagnes du Caucase et de Perse, puis il s’établit dans la capitale russe, qu’il ne quitta plus, sinon pour faire un voyage en France, quelques années avant sa mort. C’est à Saint-Pétersbourg en effet, que Xavier mourut, en 1852. L’œuvre de Xavier de Maistre n’est pas très abondante, mais elle est d’une clarté, d’un esprit essentiellement français. Chacun de ses courts ouvrages : Voyage autour de ma chambre (1794), Le Lépreux de la cité d’Aoste (1811), Les Prisonniers du Caucase et La Jeune Sibérienne (1825), l’Expédition nocturne autour de ma chambre, sont des petits chefs- d’œuvre de style, de simplicité et de naturel. Les circonstances dans lesquelles Xavier de Maistre se mit à écrire sont assez curieuses. Officier, en garnison dans la petite ville d’Alexandrie, en Italie, une malencontreuse affaire de duel le fit mettre aux arrêts pendant plusieurs jours.
