  • Taming the Bourgeoisie: Grandville's Scènes De La Vie Privée Et Publique
    EnterText 7.3 KERI BERG Taming the Bourgeoisie: Grandville’s Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux (1840-1842) Writing in 1842, an unnamed critic for L’Artiste described the caricaturist J. J. Grandville’s (1803-1847) Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux as a “mirror, accurate but not very flattering, in which each of us can look at ourselves and recognize ourselves.”1 The critic’s description of the illustrated book Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux (henceforth referred to as Les Animaux) sums up both the work and its particular mode of representation: caricature, which is the comic distortion and/or exaggeration of an original object. From political celebrations to marriage proposals, Les Animaux’s visual and verbal “scènes” from nineteenth- century life presented period readers with a deformed image of themselves, their personality traits, habits and hobbies distorted by the artist’s pencil. Grandville’s brand of caricature, however, stands out from that of his contemporaries, such as Honoré Daumier, Henri Monnier and Gavarni, in that the basis for Les Animaux’s distortion, as the title of the work suggests, is the animal. In Les Animaux, the bourgeois banker is a fattened turkey, the politician a rotund hippopotamus and the landlord a beady-eyed vulture. While the use of animal imagery and metaphors was not new in the 1840s, Grandville’s approach was, as the caricaturist created Keri Berg: Taming the Bourgeoisie 43 EnterText 7.3 hybrid creatures—animal heads atop human bodies—that visually and literally metamorphosed the person figured.

  • When Richard Nixon Took Office As President of the United
    TThrace hFrenctenbergh Factor in U.S. Foreign Policy, 1969–1974 The French Factor in U.S. Foreign Policy during the Nixon-Pompidou Period, 1969–1974 ✣ Marc Trachtenberg When Richard Nixon took ofªce as president of the United States in early 1969, he and his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, wanted to put U.S. relations with France on an entirely new footing. Ties be- tween the two countries in the 1960s, especially from early 1963 on, had been far from ideal, and U.S. ofªcials at the time blamed French President Charles de Gaulle for the fact that the United States was on such poor terms with its old ally. But Nixon and Kissinger took a rather different view. They admired de Gaulle and even thought of themselves as Gaullists.1 Like de Gaulle, they believed that the United States in the past had been too domineering. “The excessive concentration of decision-making in the hands of the senior part- ner,” as Kissinger put it in a book published in 1965, was not in America’s own interest; it drained the alliance of “long-term political vitality.”2 The United States needed real allies—“self-conªdent partners with a strongly de- veloped sense of identity”—and not satellites.3 Nixon took the same line in meetings both with de Gaulle in March 1969 and with his successor as presi- dent, Georges Pompidou, in February 1970. “To have just two superpowers,” 1.

  • Visualizing Fantastika
    An Interdisciplinary Conference Friday, 4th July 2014, Lancaster University Lancaster University’s department of English and Creative Writing invites proposals for an interdisciplinary conference: Visualizing Fantastika. Fantastika, coined by John Clute, is an umbrella term which incorporates the genres of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, but can also include alternative histories, steampunk, young adult fiction, or any other imaginative space. The conference wishes to consider the visual possibilities of the fantastic in a wide range of arts and media, which may include, but is not limited to: graphic novels, film, illustrations, games, and other visual media. Some suggested topics are: - Visual conventions in cinema and illustration that are particular to a specific genre - Visuals codes in cinema and illustration that aid in interpreting story (such as mood, character, plot) - Adaptations and crossovers between different media - The effect of the development of technology on visual style - The visual style of fantastika as a product of its culture and time - Imagery evoked by non-visual codes (such as music and language) We are very pleased to announce Bryan Talbot and Brian Baker as our keynote speakers. Bryan Talbot is most famously known for The Adventures of Luther Arkwright and Alice in Sunderland. He will be delivering a talk on his graphic novel Grandville. Dr. Brian Baker is a Lecturer at Lancaster University. Among other research interests, he has published Masculinity in Fiction and Film, and has edited a collection of essays on screen adaptations of literature. We are delighted to invite both speakers to our conference. We are extending our abstract deadline until March 30th.

  • Review of Claire Nally's Steampunk
    The Perks and Pitfalls of Parody: Review of Claire Nally’s Steampunk: Gender, Sub-Culture and the Neo-Victorian Helena Esser (Birkbeck, University of London, England, UK) Claire Nally, Steampunk: Gender, Sub-Culture and the Neo-Victorian London: Bloomsbury, 2019 ISBN: 978-1350113183, £85 (HB) ***** Claire Nally’s Steampunk: Gender, Sub-Culture, and the Neo-Victorian is the first full-length study to consider steampunk through a lens of neo- Victorian critique. A neo-Victorian perspective on steampunk has of course been well established in and through this journal since Rebecca Onion’s 2008 article in its inaugural issue, a 2010 special issue of Neo-Victorian Studies dedicated to the subject and guest edited by Rachel Bowser and Brian Croxall, and several subsequent articles (see, e.g., Montz 2011, Ferguson 2011, Danahay 2016a and 2016b, Pho 2019). Three anthologies have further interrogated a wide range of aspects in steampunk’s imaginative fiction and subculture, often focused on its creative re-use of technology and subcultural politics, but also including colonial frontiers, urbanism, gender and femininity, race and disability, consumerism, and identity (see Taddeo and Miller 2013, Brummett 2014, Bowser and Croxall 2016). James Carrott and Brian Johnson’s non-fiction Vintage Tomorrows (2013) and concomitant documentary (2015, Samuel Goldwyn Films) have explored and documented steampunk subculture in the US, and Brandy Schillace’s Clockwork Futures (2017) illustrates the history of the technology integral to the steampunk imagination. Meanwhile Roger Whitson’s Steampunk and Nineteenth-Century Digital Humanities (2016) is dedicated to steampunk’s material culture in the context of digital humanities.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract On 14 January 1963, French President General Charles de Gaulle shook the Western world. During a press conference, he announced that France was not only vetoing the British application to join the European Economic Community, but that it was also rejecting US President John F. Kennedy’s proposal to integrate the French nuclear force defrappe into the Multilateral Force. In the aftermath of the Algerian War, De Gaulle’s spectacular double non was meant to signal the shift to a more ambitious diplomatic agenda, which centred on the twin aims of recapturing France’s Great Power status, and striving to overcome the Cold War bipolar order. In the next five years, France placed itself at the forefront of international affairs through a series of bold initiatives that affected all areas of the world.

  • A STUDY in ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS, 1957-1963 by Jack
    NUCLEAR SHARING AND NUCLEAR CRISES: A STUDY IN ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS, 1957-1963 By Jack Cunningham A Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto 2010 © Copyright by Jack Cunningham, 2010 Abstract Jack Cunningham, Nuclear Sharing and Nuclear Crises: A Study in Anglo-American Relations, 1957-1963, Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History, University of Toronto, 2010. Between 1957 and 1963, both Anglo-American discussions of nuclear cooperation and the wider debate on nuclear strategy within NATO were often dominated by the question of whether Britain’s deterrent would be amalgamated or integrated into a wider NATO or European force, such as the proposed MLF (Multilateral Force). This dissertation discusses the development and impact of competing British and American proposals for “nuclear sharing” within the context of European economic and political integration as well as that of discussions within NATO of the appropriate strategy for the alliance in an age of mutual nuclear vulnerability between the superpowers. Particular attention is paid to the context of successive nuclear crises in world politics during this period, from Sputnik to the Soviet ultimatum over Berlin through the Cuban missile crisis. The divergent opinions among the leaders of the major powers over the appropriate responses to these crises shaped the debate over nuclear sharing and form a previously neglected dimension of this topic. ii.
