37Th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University 27-29 October 2011, Philadelphia, PA
Law & Order / La loi & l’ordre: 37th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University 27-29 October 2011, Philadelphia, PA ABSTRACTS Helen Abbott, Bangor University Bending the laws of poetry in Baudelaire, Banville and Mallarmé This paper sets out to analyse how poets in the mid-to-late nineteenth century in France distort, manipulate or completely abolish accepted rules of poetry. It will focus on contemporary poetic treatises in conjunction with what poets say about their poetry. Banville’s own treatise will form a pivotal text in my analysis, but I will start with a close-reading of Baudelaire’s octosyllabic sonnet, ‘Épigraphe pour un Livre condamné’, published in 1861, in the wake of his 1857 trial for Les Fleurs du Mal. As a text which signals how Baudelaire bends the laws of poetry, he also outlines how he expects his readers to be capable of grasping the clever subtlety that his manipulations entail. What critical and poetic texts of this era reveal, then, is that prescriptive legislation surrounding poetic endeavours is not done away with altogether, but the emphasis shifts so that a new aesthetic criteria, the art of listening to poetry, takes centre stage in the debate over poetic validity and status. Like Baudelaire, Mallarmé is uneasy about explaining poetic techniques to the public, but when he does so, he uses legislative vocabulary, as his pivotal ‘Crise de vers’ text demonstrates. The influence of Banville’s prosodic theories on Mallarmé is made clear by his recognition that Banville provides an ideal example of how the alexandrine line can open itself up to greater flexibility, whilst not yet requiring a total dissolution of prosodic rules. -

An Ethnographic Reflection on Muslim-Christian Dialogue in The
Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2002 An Ethnographic Re ection on Muslim–Christian Dialogue in the North of France: the context of laõ¨cite´1 MALCOLM D. BROWN ABSTRACT This article argues that la¨õ cite´ is one of the most important issues facing Muslims in France, and French society as a whole. It contains an analysis of the historical meaning of la¨õ cite´, its relationship with secularization and secularity and the effect it has had on Muslims in contemporary France. Although la¨õ cite´ and some of its interpretations have been causes of tense relations between Muslims in France and the rest of French society, the alliances and divisions which have emerged have not always been along confessional lines. As well as Muslims having a diversity of attitudes towards la¨õ cite´, members of other religions are faced with similar challenges. Openness and dialogue between Muslims and Christians in France appear to have increased in recent years, perhaps beyond other countries in Europe, and this article hypothesizes that this is due to the common challenge of la¨õ cite´. More precisely, dialogue in France is practical, formal and bilateral, in contrast to the United Kingdom, for example, where it is theoretical, informal and multilateral. These hypotheses are supported by establish- ing the social signi cance of Muslim–Christian dialogue, and by citing published experiences and analyses of Muslim–Christian dialogue, qualitative research which I undertook in the Lille area and comparative ethnography (the point of comparison being the United Kingdom, the ethnography concentrated in Glasgow). -
Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic
Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic By Celine L Maillard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Douglas P Collins, Chair Maya A Smith Susan Gaylard Ana Fernandez Dobao Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of French and Italian Studies College of Arts and Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Céline L Maillard University of Washington Abstract Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic Celine L Maillard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Douglas P Collins Department of French and Italian Studies This research investigates the rewriting of the nation in France during the Third Republic and the role played by primary schools in the process of identity formation. Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism. -

I publish it without any comment whatever. ," "CATHOLIC TOLERANCE /~ / }' :?£, "The punishment of death for heretics. ' "Fr. Lcpicia, professor of theology at the College of Prop- . aganda in Rome, is the author of a text-book in common use by the future priests who study at Rome. The book is entitled: Ooncerning the Stability ana the Proorese 01 Dogma. It was reissued with augmentations in 1910. A new edition has just appeared, bearing the approbation of high Church authorities. And here is what one reads on page 103: "'Q. Can heretics be tolerated, and if so, on what condi- tions?' "'A. As soon as one proclaims in public a heretical doc- trine, and tries to corrupt others by words or example, he can not only be excommunicated (to speak abstractly) but he ought to be killed, in all justice, to the end that he may not corrupt I a very great number by contamination. For a bad man is worse than a wild beast, and he docs more harm, as Aristotle says t (Ethic8 I, vil, in fine). So as it is not evil to kill a noxious beast of the forest, it is good to take away the life of a heretic who denies divine truth and hinders the salvation of others.' "And on page 200 this sentence is to be found: "'To the Church returns, in truth, the right of pronouncing sentence of death against heretics.'

Faculties and Phrenology
Reflection University Press Scholarship Online Oxford Scholarship Online The Faculties: A History Dominik Perler Print publication date: 2015 Print ISBN-13: 9780199935253 Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: May 2015 DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199935253.001.0001 Reflection Faculties and Phrenology Rebekka Hufendiek Markus Wild DOI:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199935253.003.0009 Abstract and Keywords This Reflection considers how the science of phrenology relates to the notion of faculty. It asks: why is phrenology so appealing? It illustrates this with reference to modern culture. Firstly, the Reflection argues, phrenology relies on an easy line of reasoning: moral and mental faculties are found in specific areas of the brain. The more persistently such faculties prevail, the bigger the respective part of the brain. Secondly, phrenology produces easy visible evidence. You can read the mental makeup of someone by looking and feeling the lumps in their head. The Reflection goes on to look at the history of phrenology and relate it to issues of race.

Blanqui’S Note Nov
Biliana Kassabova History of Political Thought Workshop December 4, 2017 Blanqui’s note Nov. 23, 1848 Blanqui between Myth and Archives: Revolution, Dictatorship, and Education This piece, very much a work in progress, aims to make sense of the revolutionary ideas and actions of Louis-Auguste Blanqui. It complicates our ideas of political thought regarding revolution in the nineteenth century, by arguing that the binary of centralized versus popular revolution needs to be revised. It is part of a larger project on concepts of revolutionary leadership in France from the French Revolution of 1789 until the Paris Commune of 1871. Within this historical trajectory, Blanqui is an interpreter of 18th century ideas into 19th century contexts, a political thinker and actor who plays a key role in the various reformulations of the revolutionary tradition. 1848 does not enjoy a stellar reputation among historians of France. The revolution of February that year saw the overthrow of the last king of France, followed by the establishment of a new French republic. This republic, however, lasted for only three years, brought little and short-lived social change, remained rather conservative, though was also laden with bitter parliamentary strife, and ended through a coup d’état that inaugurated a new authoritarian régime, a Second Empire with Napoleon III at its head. To add insult to injury, even the attempts at establishing a viable parliamentary republican system were famously seen by political observers and participants from 2 almost all parts of the political spectrum as derivative, incompetent, and worse yet – laughable. “There have been more mischievous revolutionaries than those of 1848, but I doubt if there have been any stupider,”1 quipped Alexis de Tocqueville in his posthumously published Recollections. -
The Greek Marseillaise of Rhigas Velestinlis
THE GREEK MARSEILLAISE OF RHIGAS VELESTINLIS The Court archives of the investigation held at Vienna on Rhigas’ arrest turn our attention to a re-study of the subject, even if we lacked all other evi dence about his having composed A poem, which is A free version, or A mere imitation of the French Marseillaise.1 In the reports of the Austrian examiner it is recorded that, as appears from the testimony of Dr. Demetrios Nicolides, one of the principal persons among those accused, and as confirmed by the statements of those indicted with him, the “conspirators” meeting at Argenti’s home sang, besides Rhigas’ War March, some strophes of the Marseillaise Allons enfants.г Elsewhere, from the testimony of Kaspar Peters, instructor in French, the Austrian inquiry brings to light that Philip Petrovich, the youngest and most enthusiastic of Rhigas’ companions, asked of Peters (as Petrovich himself knew no French),'to translate into German apparently the text of the Marseillaise. Peters promised, but in the end only copied the text, which he handed over to Petrovich.13 2 Rhigas followed the events of the French Revolution with anxious inter est, as he drew his political ideology from it, and relied on its contribution for the liberation of Greece. So he used to instil his revolutionary spirit into his comrades by applying the music of French rebel songs to free renderings of them into Greek, or to verses of his own inspiration. It would seam strange to us if he had ignored, or passed over in silence the renowned revolutionary 1. -

4. Rudolf MAURER, Dr. Gall´S Schädelsammlung, 92 Seiten
Katalogblätter des Rollettmuseums Baden, Nr. 4 Rudolf Maurer Dr. Gall’s Schädelsammlung Baden 2008 ISBN 978-3-901951-04-6 F.d.I.v.: Städt. Sammlungen Baden – Archiv / Rollettmuseum 2500 Baden, Weikersdorferplatz 1 / Elisabethstr. 61 02252/48255 [email protected] Druck: Abele, Baden Franz Josef Gall (1758 – 1828) Hier ist nicht der Ort, eine neue Biographie Galls vorzulegen. Es sollen nur die wichtigsten Daten als Hintergrund für das Entstehen der Schädelsammlung und ihre Übertragung in das Rollettmuseum Baden zusammengefasst werden. Am 9. März 1758 in Tiefenbronn bei Pforzheim geboren, studierte Franz Josef Gall seit 1777 in Straßburg Medizin. 1781 übersiedelte er nach Wien, wo er seine Stu- dien 1785 erfolgreich abschloss. 1790 heiratete er Maria Katharina Leisler. Durch die schnellen Erfolge seiner Arztpraxis konnten sich die beiden in der Ungargasse im Wiener III. Bezirk ein Haus leisten, dessen Garten Gall selbst mit Leidenschaft betreute. Tiefenbronn bei Pforzheim, Ortskern und Geburtshaus Galls (Fotos Wolfgang Schütz, 2007) Gall sah sich aber auch als Wissenschaftler und spezialisierte sich auf die Erfor- schung des menschlichen Gehirns. Fast intuitiv schwebte ihm die Herstellung eines Zusammenhangs der Schädelform mit den darunter gelegenen Gehirnorganen vor. 1796 war sein System, das man später Schädellehre, Phrenologie oder Kraniosko- pie nannte, so weit ausgereift, dass er begann, Privatvorlesungen darüber zu halten. Auch durch den Vergleich mit Tiergehirnen versuchte Gall Erkenntnisse über das menschliche Gehirn zu gewinnen, was ihn geradezu zur Verhaltensforschung im heutigen Sinn führte. Leider wissen wir nicht, ob die folgende Anekdote in Wien oder in Paris gedacht ist: „Nachdem ich Gall meine Empfehlungsschreiben überreicht hatte,“ erzählt ein Engländer, „führte er mich in ein Zimmer, dessen Wände mit Vogelbauern, dessen Boden mit Hunden, Ratten usw.
