The Intersection Between Nationalism and Religion in The ABSTRACT Title of Document: The Intersection Between Nationalism and Religion: The Burghers of Calais of Auguste Rodin in the French Third Republic Jung-Sil Lee, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Professor June Hargrove, Department of Art History and Archaeology As a republican, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) conveyed political ideology in his public sculpture, but due to his interest in religion and spirituality, his interpretations differed from contemporary artists. He grafted national myths and symbols onto Catholicism and its rituals to facilitate the sacralization of the Republic. Yet, the tension between Catholicism and republicanism in his work persisted because of his religiosity and his adherence to secularism. Rodin’s conflict and compromise between the two fields were not only his personal dilemma, but also that of the Third Republic. This dissertation focuses on how Rodin internalized republican ideology in his public sculpture, and how he appropriated Catholic ritual to promote political messages. In spite of the republican government’s constant struggle to separate from Catholic domination, Catholicism was so deeply imbedded in French culture, Rodin recognized this complex paradigm which he co-opted to construct an ideological matrix for his public work. Aware of the powerful social role of religion, the First Republic tried to create a new religion based on deistic tradition, The Cult of Supreme Being, to unite all French people who were severely divided by factions, languages, and regionalism. This precedent tradition further proved the importance of religion’s social reach in constructing national sentiment. Based on research in Rodin museums in Paris and Meudon in 2004 and 2007, this study examines how Rodin merged Catholic practices and contemporary social ideologies into the fiber of nationalist identity that served to reconcile political oppositions in France and to heal wounded civic pride after the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. Similar to the public sphere proposed by Jürgen Habermas, Rodin’s public sculpture suggests ideal democratic communicative field. The Burghers of Calais is a prime example of the republican ideal of heroic martyrdom. At the same time, its overall form, figural arrangement, and poignant expressions invoke the Catholic practice of pilgrimage, drawing the audience into the scene’s emotional landscape. This interpretation of The Burghers of Calais as a religious and psychological catharsis paves the way for public sculpture to function as a healing tool to rebuild personal and national subjectivity. THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN NATIONALISM AND RELIGION: THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS OF AUGUSTE RODIN IN THE FRENCH THIRD REPUBLIC By Jung-Sil Lee Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 Advisory Committee: Professor June Hargrove, Chair/Advisor Professor William Pressly Professor Donald Sutherland Associate Professor Anthony Colantuono Associate Professor Renée Ater © Copyright by Jung-Sil Lee 2009 This dissertation document that follows has had referenced material removed in respect for the owner’s copyright. A complete version of this document, which includes said referenced material, resides in the University of Maryland, College Park’s library system. ii For Jesus Christ, My Lord iii Acknowledgements This dissertation grew out of my interest in French nineteenth century art and its intersection with nationalism and religion. I was first introduced to this interdisciplinary study during a seminar on nationalism with Dr. June Hargrove, my advisor. After researching nationalism and ritual theories while preparing my seminar paper, I then decided to explore further the ways in which nationalism, religion, and art have interacted, specifically with regard to creating a republican culture and a French national identity. I would like to express my special thanks to Dr. Hargrove, for her patience, encouragement, and thoughtful understanding. It would not have been possible to initiate or complete this dissertation without her guidance and cognizance, especially given my many obstacles. Dr. Hargrove has shared her keen insight and broad research as a scholar, and has thus been an invaluable role model for me. I am very grateful to my wonderful dissertation committee for their time, critique, and invaluable suggestions for future research. Dr. William Pressly has shared his precious knowledge and references for the French Republic, and it has been a privilege to have him on the committee. I would also like to thank Dr. Anthony Colantuono for continuing to direct me, as he had previously influenced me a great iv deal during his theory course years ago. I am grateful to Dr. Renée Ater for her specific comments and feedback to help me restructure the draft and reshape my theories. Finally, I thank Dr. Donald Sutherland, who kindly agreed to serve as my Dean’s representative, and helped me to draw a larger picture of French nationalism. I received much assistance and support to complete my dissertation. Of particular importance, was receiving the Travel Grant from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation, which made possible my research trip to the Rodin Museums in Paris and Meudon. I truly appreciate Judith Sobol, the Executive Director of the Cantor Foundation, for her ongoing correspondence which consistently cheered me up. I am grateful to Mme. Marie-Pierre Delclaux, curator of documentation, for her assistance during my visit to the archive at the Museé Rodin in Paris, 2004. She kindly accommodated my visits, even when the museum was closed, and granted me permission to examine Rodin’s personal book collection. Likewise, Mme. Rapaël Masson, a curator and head of archives and the library, and Mme. Véronique Mattiussi, archivist at the Museum, helped me to locate resources at the archives of the Musée Rodin during 2007 trip. In the Musée Rodin at Meudon, I was fortunate to be granted the privilege to access Rodin’s bedroom and permission to photograph his large crucifix collection. I appreciate such unforgettable and generous support of the people in the Musée Rodin. v The Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland, College Park offered critical funding throughout my graduate study. I am very grateful to the department for providing a museum fellowship in 2004 that enabled me to work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and to have participated in the exhibition of Joan of Arc. Special thanks go to my supervisor at the Corcoran, Dr. Laura Coyle, a passionate curator who challenged me to improve my research skills in various ways. Dr. Nora Heimann, co-curator of Joan of Arc exhibition, and Professor at the Catholic University of America, inspired me to identify the type of scholar that I intend to be, and her enthusiasm influenced my work immensely. I thank Dr. Barbara Larson for sharing her thoughts on Rodin’s religious stance and providing me valuable references. Additionally, the following professors at the University of Maryland influenced me to shape my ideas for the dissertation and taught me how to further develop critical thinking skills: Dr. Sally Promey, Dr. Steven Mansbach, Dr. Arthur Wheelock, and Dr. Majorie Venit. I would like to express my gratitude to the University of Maryland’s department members who have supported me faithfully. Dr. Lauree Sails and Dr. Quint Gregory of the Visual Resource Center always welcomed me into the department and provided me infinite and necessary technical support. I am grateful to Deborah Down, the graduate secretary, who also made me feel at home. Her smiles vi have given me great comfort along with her prompt handling of much paperwork. I cannot forget Kathy Canavan, former graduate secretary, who passed away in 2004, who was also a wonderful friend to me. I am enormously thankful to two former Graduate Directors, Dr. Meredith Gill and Dr. Shannen Hill, for writing on my behalf to secure my adjunct faculty position at the Corcoran College of Art for the last three years. While teaching at Corcoran College I have been blessed with wonderful and supportive colleagues: Dr. Dorothea Dietrich, former chair of Academic studies, Professor Bernard Welt, and my friends, Dr. Jogelina Orfila, Dr. Adrienne Childs, and Dr. Leslie Brice, who have been dear companions to me. I would like to give special thanks to Leslie, who has read my dissertation thoroughly with insightful comments and ceaseless encouragement. Without her support, I would not be submitting my dissertation. Other friends have been with me throughout this long journey and I have benefited greatly from their caring words and kind hearts: Of particular note are my friends in Korea, Jihyun Han, Aehyun Kim, and Juyeon Han at the Leeum Rodin museum in Seoul. They have showed me extremely faithful friendship whenever I needed it. I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Nanji Yun, Professor of Ewha Womans University, Seoul, who was an advisor for my master’s degree in Art History, and who has continues to be a role model for me, as both a scholar and a teacher. vii I am also grateful to my church members: Senior Pastor Jamie Wonki Kim, Pastor Seungmin Chang, and Pastor Jinsook Cho. They have prayed consistently and deeply for the completion of my dissertation and for my strength and endurance. Among many church members is the cell church, also known as the ’Oikos’ members, who have prayed for me extensively. My special thanks go to Dr. Yun Ki for her warm friendship and indispensable advice, which is heartfelt, and to Seulki Kim for her help in scanning images in addition to her emotional support. I also thank my friend, Sunhee Lee for her help with translation of German texts. Much appreciation goes to the Korean American Artist Association and to the Ewha Womans University Alumnae Association in Washington D.C for their support and encouragement, especially to the president, Komelia Hongja Kim, professor of Montgomery College.

    dreamers creators A passion for Rodin set a Manhattan couple on an ambitious collecting journey& covering the past century of art history. By Margie Goldsmith • Photography by Billy Cunningham The collector looks up at his cast of “The Thinker.” Perhaps he is recalling what Rodin himself wrote about his sculpture: “The Thinker has a story. In the days long gone by I conceived the idea of the Gates of Hell. Before the door, seated on the rock, Dante thinking of the plan of the poem behind him ... all the characters from the Divine Comedy. This proj- ect was not realized. Thin ascetic Dante in his straight robe separated from all the rest would have been without meaning. Guided by my first inspiration I conceived another thinker, a naked man, seated on a rock, his fist against his teeth, he dreams. The fertile thought slowly elaborates itself within his brain. He is no longer a dreamer, he is a creator.” Rodin’s tale helps reveal why a boy from a small Mid- western town who became one of New York’s most suc- cessful fund managers would identify with a working-class sculptor whose masterpieces created a Rodin, “The Thinker,” conceived bronze bridge between 19th-century Romanticism and c. 1880 (this version was cast 20th-century Modernism. “I identify with the creativity and the before 1952), bronze with dark passion with which Rodin led his life,” says the collector, who brown and green patina. wishes to remain anonymous, as he continues to regard “The Charles Ephraim Burchfield, “Sultry Thinker.” “Look at the combination of strength, beauty and emo- Day” (right), 1957, watercolor on tional passion that Rodin manages to put in a lump of bronze.

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

  • Emotional Boundaries in Chaucer's Book of the Duchess
    ISSN 2516-8568 Emotional Boundaries in Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess Author: Julia O’Connell Source: Midlands Historical Review, Vol. 2 (2018) Published: 16/07/2018 URL: http://www.midlandshistoricalreview.com/emotional-boundaries-in- chaucers-book-of-the-duchess/ Midlands Historical Review ISSN 2516-8568 Emotional Boundaries in Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess JULIA O’CONNELL Geoffrey Chaucer (early 1340s – 1400) is widely regarded as the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages. Chaucer worked for most of his life as a civil servant in the turbulent political world of the English royal court, whilst also composing some of the most famous and influential works of English literature, such as the Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, and The House of Fame. One of his earliest works, the Book of the Duchess, was written between 1368 and 1372 and represents Chaucer’s first experimentation with the dream vision form, the amalgamation of comic and courtly themes, and with the poetic capacity of the English language. It is also a text in which Chaucer skilfully draws upon previous literary models and adapts his French sources to create a work of emotional perspicacity. The poem has a complex narrative structure connecting three main elements: a narrator experiencing a melancholic insomnia, an interpretation of Ovid’s tale of Ceys and Alcyone, and a poignant dream-narrative in which a Man in Black grieves for the lost Lady Whyte. Through a number of coded references in the poem, the Man in Black and his lady are identified as John of Gaunt and his wife Blanche of Lancaster, who died of the plague in 1368.

  • 1 in Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction 'At The
    In Search of Robert Lovell: Poet and Pantisocrat I. Introduction ‘At the close of the year 1794, a clever young man, of the Society of Friends, of the name of Robert Lovell, who had married a Miss Fricker, informed me that a few friends of his from Oxford and Cambridge, with himself, were about to sail to America, and, on the banks of the Susquehannah, to form a Social Colony, in which there was to be a community of property, and where all that was selfish was to be proscribed.’1 Thus wrote Bristol publisher Joseph Cottle in his Reminiscences published in 1847. As any serious student of Romanticism knows, the most important of those ‘few friends’ mentioned by Cottle were Robert Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who were then gathering support for a small-scale transatlantic emigration scheme founded on radical egalitarian or so-called ‘Pantisocratic’ principles. It is chiefly in connection with this utopian venture that the ‘clever young man’ described by Cottle has, until now, typically featured in Romantic criticism, very much in a supporting if not peripheral role. But how much do we know about Robert Lovell? What kind of person was he? Why did Southey, and subsequently Coleridge, embrace him enthusiastically on first acquaintance and later downgrade their estimate of his qualities? What was Lovell’s achievement as a poet, and what was his place in the early history of Romanticism in the South West? In this essay I attempt to answer these questions by re- examining established ‘facts’, gathering fresh evidence, and treating Lovell and his poetry as valid subjects in their own right rather than as a footnote to the budding careers of Coleridge and Southey.

    Late-Medieval France: A Nation under Construction A study of French national identity formation and the emerging of national consciousness, before and during the Hundred Years War, 1200-1453 Job van den Broek MA History of Politics and Society Dr. Christian Wicke Utrecht University 22 June 2020 Word count: 13.738 2 “Ah! Doulce France! Amie, je te lairay briefment”1 -Attributed to Bertrand du Guesclin, 1380 Images on front page: The kings of France, England, Navarre and the duke of Burgundy (as Count of Charolais), as depicted in the Grand Armorial Équestre de la Toison d’Or, 1435- 1438. 1 Cuvelier in Charrière, volume 2, pp 320. ”Ah, sweet France, my friend, I must leave you very soon.” Translation my own. 2 3 Abstract Whether nations and nationalism are ancient or more recent phenomena is one of the core debates of nationalism studies. Since the 1980’s, modernism, claiming that nations are distinctively modern, has been the dominant view. In this thesis, I challenge this dominant view by doing an extensive case-study into late-medieval France, applying modernist definitions and approaches to a pre-modern era. France has by many regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers’ of the club of nations and has a long and rich history and thus makes a case-study for such an endeavour. I start with mapping the field of French identity formation in the thirteenth century, which mostly revolved around the royal court in Paris. With that established, I move on to the Hundred Years War and the consequences of this war for French identity.

  • Space Construction in Media Reporting a Study of the Migrant Space in the „Jungles‟ of Calais, Fast Capitalism 21.1
    Citation: Y.Ibrahim & Howarth, A. (2015) Space Construction in Media Reporting A study of the migrant space in the „jungles‟ of Calais, Fast Capitalism 21.1, http://www.fastcapitalism.com/ Space Construction in Media Reporting A study of the migrant space in the ‘jungles’ of Calais Yasmin Ibrahim, Queen Mary, University of London Anita Howarth, Brunel University London Introduction In September 2009, French riot police armed with flame-throwers, bulldozers and chain saws demolished an illegal migrant camp in Calais known locally as “the Jungle” and dispersed its occupants (Garnham 2009). Over two years the camp had grown from a handful of occupants in a few makeshift tents to over 800 in a sprawling shantytown spilling into the town of Calais (Rawstorne 2009). This article explores how British newspapers‟ use of the “jungle” metaphor constructed a particular social imaginary of migrant spaces and their informal camps at a time when migrant shelters were a focus of policy and public concern. The jungle metaphor signified a barbaric space characterised by environmental degradation and lawlessness that encroached on ordered spaces of white civility. This construct was used to justify the razing of the camp, the demolition of the shelters and the dispersing of its occupants by the French police. However, mini-camps sprung up almost immediately all along the French coastline (Allen 2009c) and newspapers expressed fears of the local community that these could grow into mini-jungles (Allen 2009b) – a fear realised a year later with the emergence and demolition of the “new jungle” in a small village near Dunkirk (Finan and Allen 2010) which was similarly demolished.

Cook, Professor, Music Charles Dill, Professor, Music Lawrence Earp, Professor, Music Nan Enstad, Professor, History Pamela Potter, Professor, Music i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my best creations—my son, Owen Frederick and my unborn daughter, Clara Grace. I hope this dissertation and my musicological career inspires them to always pursue their education and maintain a love for music. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation grew out of a seminar I took with Susan C. Cook during my first semester at the University of Wisconsin. Her enthusiasm for music written during the First World War and her passion for research on gender and music were contagious and inspired me to continue in a similar direction. I thank my dissertation advisor, Susan C. Cook, for her endless inspiration, encouragement, editing, patience, and humor throughout my graduate career and the dissertation process. In addition, I thank my dissertation committee—Charles Dill, Lawrence Earp, Nan Enstad, and Pamela Potter—for their guidance, editing, and conversations that also helped produce this dissertation over the years. My undergraduate advisor, Susan Pickett, originally inspired me to pursue research on women composers and if it were not for her, I would not have continued on to my PhD in musicology.
