Out of the Néant into the Everyday: A Rediscovery of Mallarmé’s Poetics Séverine C. Martin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Science COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Séverine C. Martin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Out of the Néant into the Everyday: A Rediscovery of Mallarmé’s Poetics Séverine C. Martin This dissertation, focusing on the Vers de circonstance, takes issue with traditional views on Stéphane Mallarmé’s aesthetics and his positioning on the relation of art to society. Whereas Mallarmé has often been branded as an ivory-tower poet, invested solely in abstract ideals and removed from the masses, my research demonstrates his interest in concrete essences and the small events of the everyday. As such, the Vers de circonstance offer an exemplary entry point to understanding these poetic preoccupations as the poems of this collection are both characterized by their materiality and their celebration of ordinary festivities. Indeed, most of the poems either accompany or are directly written on objects that were offered as gifts on such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries or seasonal holidays. The omnipresence of objects and dates that can be referred back to real events displays Mallarmé’s on-going questioning on the relation of art to reality. As I show, some of these interrogations rejoin the aesthetic preoccupations of the major artistic currents of the time, such as Impressionism in France and the Decorative Arts in England. These movements were defining new norms for the representation of reality in reaction to the changes of nineteenth century society. But as the genetic study of the Vers de circonstance reveals, along with the contextual framing and analysis of his other works, the occasional and the concept of the real play a fundamental role in his poetics at large. On the one hand, the aesthetic concept of the real allows him to draw the attention of his readers to the tension between the concreteness of reality with its elusiveness and ephemerality. On the other hand, the occasional is a way for Mallarmé to humanize the otherwise anonymous and impersonal quality of print. In an epoch when reality became mechanically reproducible and the distance between an author and its readers became increasingly distant and diffuse, the questions posed by Mallarmé on the relation of art to real objects, people and events were fundamental. As I conclude, therefore, the use of widely accessible quotidian objects, the mise en abyme of the visuality of writing, and Mallarmé’s programmatic note to the reader to emulate his poetic project, all combine to validate his postulation of a new poetic art turned towards the everyday and his contemporaries.

Her encouraging mentoring, which has accompanied me in New York and Paris, has been an invaluable source of strength and inspiration for my work. I would also like to thank Professor Bachir Diagne, Professor Anne Higonnet and Professor Edward Mendelson for generously agreeing to be part of my dissertation committee. I would like to address a special thanks to Professor Philip Watts who should have been part of my committee. He left this world too soon but his kindness and gentleness towards others is unlikely to be forgotten. Then, I would like to thank all those who have given me constructive criticism on my work, notably, Antoine Compagnon, Pierre Force, Bertrand Marchal, Cameron Tolton and most recently and intensively, Vincent Debaene. His help was extremely valuable in the overall structuring of my work. But, I am also very thankful to the French Department for its constant assistance to me over the years, since I started taking French classes as an undergraduate at Barnard. I would like to give special thanks to Meritza, Isabelle, and most particularly Benita, for their ever joyful and efficient assistance. They make the department feel like a second home. Finally, I do not have enough words to say thank you to my beloved parents and husband who have provided vital and unquestionable support to all my work. Their love, sensibility and erudition are the pillars upon which I stand. I hope to transmit some of their wisdom and kindness to my son Ludwig Octavian Hartenstein who has accompanied me through the final stages of my dissertation as a shining star. vi DEDICATION « Ce qui me tourmente [...], c’est un peu, dans chacun de ces hommes, Mozart assassiné. » Antoine de Saint Exupéry, Terre des hommes À Kéken (10 ans) et Barbara (5 ans), hyperboles de ma mémoire, … ABANDONNÉS je vous garde dans mon souvenir avec ce coucher de Soleil aussi, d’une belle et silencieuse soirée ô Xarangua ! pauvre Haïti ! Il est toujours pour moi le 24 avril 2010, entre cinq heures et cinq heures et demie… à vous mes enfants, j’offre ce Soleil Prométhée… vii INTRODUCTION A Questionable Distinction: Mallarmé’s “Major” and “Minor” Works There exists a long-standing debate regarding the reading and interpretation of the work of the nineteenth century French poet, Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898). As a recent critic, Barbara Bohac, points out in the opening lines of her critical study dedicated to the notion of the everyday in his poetics, “Mallarmé offre plusieurs visages, qu’il n’est pas toujours aisé de concilier.”1 The manifold faces of the poet to which Bohac refers consist in the tension in his writings between apparently serious works that seem to pertain to high art, and seemingly frivolous works that seem to be simple leisure time pursuits outside the very categories of high or low art. The first works (Poésies, L’Après-Midi d’un Faune, Hérodiade) are recognizable as cultural objects belonging to high art due to three important factors: first, their form – indeed, most poems follow classical poetic forms such as the sonnet written in octosyllabic meters or alexandrins; or they follow the modern genre of the prose poem initiated by Aloysius Bertrand; then, the gravitas of their author’s poetic intentionality expressed by way of letters or of commentaries around his work; and finally, the quality and reputation of the journals and publications in which the poems were first individually and then collectively published.

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis : L’EXPRESSION DE L’ABSURDE CHEZ IONESCO: DU TEXTE ECRIT A LA REPRESENTATION Eva Heppelmann, Masters of Arts, 2011 Thesis directed by: Professor Joseph Brami Department of French Eugène Ionesco belongs to a group of dramatists known as the Theater of the Absurd, a concept coined by Martin Esslin. I argue that this concept of the absurd is inconsistent since the definition is linked to the opinions and conventions of each era. Therefore, the term absurd is imprecise when applied to theater, an art form that is directly linked to the period in which it is written and in which it is performed. I propose the idea of anti-theater, a concept mentioned by Ionesco within his work, to better define Ionesco's plays.

    Songs in Fixed Forms

    Songs in Fixed Forms by Margaret P. Hasselman 1 Introduction Fourteenth century France saw the development of several well-defined song structures. In contrast to the earlier troubadours and trouveres, the 14th-century songwriters established standardized patterns drawn from dance forms. These patterns then set up definite expectations in the listeners. The three forms which became standard, which are known today by the French term "formes fixes" (fixed forms), were the virelai, ballade and rondeau, although those terms were rarely used in that sense before the middle of the 14th century. (An older fixed form, the lai, was used in the Roman de Fauvel (c. 1316), and during the rest of the century primarily by Guillaume de Machaut.) All three forms make use of certain basic structural principles: repetition and contrast of music; correspondence of music with poetic form (syllable count and rhyme); couplets, in which two similar phrases or sections end differently, with the second ending more final or "closed" than the first; and refrains, where repetition of both words and music create an emphatic reference point. Contents • Definitions • Historical Context • Character and Provenance, with reference to specific examples • Notes and Selected Bibliography Definitions The three structures can be summarized using the conventional letters of the alphabet for repeated sections. Upper-case letters indicate that both text and music are identical. Lower-case letters indicate that a section of music is repeated with different words, which necessarily follow the same poetic form and rhyme-scheme. 1. Virelai The virelai consists of a refrain; a contrasting verse section, beginning with a couplet (two halves with open and closed endings), and continuing with a section which uses the music and the poetic form of the refrain; and finally a reiteration of the refrain.

    PDF the Migration of Literary Ideas: the Problem of Romanian Symbolism

    The Migration of Literary Ideas: The Problem of Romanian Symbolism Cosmina Andreea Roșu ABSTRACT: The migration of symbolists’ ideas in Romanian literary field during the 1900’s occurs mostly due to poets. One of the symbolist poets influenced by the French literature (the core of the Symbolism) and its representatives is Dimitrie Anghel. He manages symbols throughout his entire writings, both in poetry and in prose, as a masterpiece. His vivid imagination and fantasy reinterpret symbols from a specific Romanian point of view. His approach of symbolist ideas emerges from his translations from the French authors but also from his original writings, since he creates a new attempt to penetrate another sequence of the consciousness. Dimitrie Anghel learns the new poetics during his years long staying in France. KEY WORDS: writing, ideas, prose poem, symbol, fantasy. A t the beginning of the twentieth century the Romanian literature was dominated by Eminescu and his epigones, and there were visible effects of Al. Macedonski’s efforts to impose a new poetry when Dimitrie Anghel left to Paris. Nicolae Iorga was trying to initiate a new nationalist movement, and D. Anghel was blamed for leaving and detaching himself from what was happening“ in the” country. But “he fought this idea in his texts making ironical remarks about those“The Landwho were” eagerly going away from native land ( Youth – „Tinereță“, Looking at a Terrestrial Sphere” – „Privind o sferă terestră“, a literary – „Pământul“).

  • Who's Who at the Rodin Museum

    Who's Who at the Rodin Museum

    WHO’S WHO AT THE RODIN MUSEUM Within the Rodin Museum is a large collection of bronzes and plaster studies representing an array of tremendously engaging people ranging from leading literary and political figures to the unknown French handyman whose misshapen proboscis was immortalized by the sculptor. Here is a glimpse at some of the most famous residents of the Museum… ROSE BEURET At the age of 24 Rodin met Rose Beuret, a seamstress who would become his life-long companion and the mother of his son. She was Rodin’s lover, housekeeper and studio helper, modeling for many of his works. Mignon, a particularly vivacious portrait, represents Rose at the age of 25 or 26; Mask of Mme Rodin depicts her at 40. Rose was not the only lover in Rodin's life. Some have speculated the raging expression on the face of the winged female warrior in The Call to Arms was based on Rose during a moment of jealous rage. Rose would not leave Rodin, despite his many relationships with other women. When they finally married, Rodin, 76, and Rose, 72, were both very ill. She died two weeks later of pneumonia, and Rodin passed away ten months later. The two Mignon, Auguste Rodin, 1867-68. Bronze, 15 ½ x 12 x 9 ½ “. were buried in a tomb dominated by what is probably the best The Rodin Museum, Philadelphia. known of all Rodin creations, The Thinker. The entrance to Gift of Jules E.

I argue, first, that there is a unique and largely unexplored tradition of dialogue, collaboration, and mutual admiration between Cuban, French and Francophone artists; second, that a recurring and essential theme in these artworks is the representation of the human body; and third, that this relationship ought not to be understood within the confines of a single genre, but must be read as a series of dialogues that are both ekphrastic (that is, they rely on one art-form to describe another, as in paintings of poems), and multi-lingual.
