  • Jean Cocteau's the Typewriter
    1 A Queer Premiere: Jean Cocteau’s The Typewriter Introduction Late in April 1941, toward the close of the first Parisian theatre season fol- lowing the Defeat, Jean Cocteau’s La Machine à écrire (The Typewriter) opened, then closed, then reopened at the Théâtre Hébertot. Written in the style of a detective drama, the play starred the actor generally known—at least in the entertainment world at the time—as Cocteau’s sometime lover and perpetual companion, Jean Marais, as identical twin brothers. The re- views are curiously reticent about what exactly occurred at the Hébertot, and historians and critics offer sometimes contradictory pieces of a puzzle that, even when carefully put together, forms an incomplete picture. The fragments are, however, intriguing. Merrill Rosenberg describes how, on the evening of April 29, 1941, the dress rehearsal (répétition génerale), sponsored “as a gala” by the daily Paris-Soir and attended by various “dig- nitaries,” caused in the Hébertot’s auditorium a demonstration by members of the Parti Populaire Français (PPF). This disruption prompted Vichy’s ambas- sador to Paris, Fernand de Brinon, to order the withdrawal of the production (“Vichy’s Theatrical Venture” 136). Francis Steegmuller describes the disor- der that greeted the Typewriter premiere and the revival of Les Parents Terribles (at the Gymnase later that year): “stink bombs exploded in the theatres, and hoodlums filled the aisles and climbed onto the stage, shouting obscenities at Cocteau and Marais as a couple” (442).1 Patrick Marsh too notes that these plays “were seriously disrupted by violent scenes fomented by fascist sym- pathizers and members of the Parti Populaire Français” (“Le Théâtre 1 2 THE DRAMA OF FALLEN FRANCE Français .

ARAGON, CALVO, JOUHANDEAU, 1944-45 Aparna Nayak-Guercio, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This dissertation focuses on the months of liberation of France, June 1944 to May 1945. It analyzes three under-studied works taken as samples of texts that touch upon the question of contested identities. The texts are chosen from the main divisions of the political spectrum, namely Gaullist, far right, and far left. Although the focus is on the texts themselves, I trace the arguments found in these works to the larger discourses in which they are inscribed. In particular, I address the questions of guilt and innocence, justice and vengeance, past and future in the given historical circumstances.

  • Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Re
    The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Casiana Elena Ionita All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita This dissertation draws on a wide range of sources (including motion pictures, film journals, and essays) in order to analyze the debate over the social and aesthetic role of cinema that took place in France from 1909 to 1930. During this period, as the new medium became the most popular form of entertainment, moralists of all political persuasions began to worry that cinematic representations of illicit acts could provoke social unrest. In response, four groups usually considered antagonistic — republicans, Catholics, Communists, and the first film avant- garde known as the Impressionists — set out to redefine cinema by focusing particularly on shaping film viewers. To do so, these movements adopted similar strategies: they organized lectures and film clubs, published a variety of periodicals, commissioned films for specific causes, and screened commercial motion pictures deemed compatible with their goals. Tracing the history of such projects, I argue that they insisted on educating spectators both through and about cinema. Indeed, each movement sought to teach spectators of all backgrounds how to understand the new medium of cinema while also supporting specific films with particular aesthetic and political goals. Despite their different interests, the Impressionists, republicans, Catholics, and Communists all aimed to create communities of viewers that would learn a certain way of decoding motion pictures.

  • The Alfred Dreyfus Affair
    Video The Beginning 1859: Alfred Dreyfus is born in Alsace, a region in eastern France. 1871: France loses Alsace to the German Empire. 1892: Alfred Dreyfus completes his military training and becomes an officer in the French Army. 1894: September: The French military discovers that military secrets are being sent to the Germans. (One list, called the bordereau, is intercepted.) October: Dreyfus is secretly accused of stealing military secrets. He is arrested and imprisoned. December: Dreyfus is tried and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island. 1895: Dreyfus is publicly shamed and stripped of his military rank. He is sent to Devil’s Island in April 1895. The Facts Revealed 1896: Lieutenant Colonel Georges Picquart realizes Major Esterhazy is a German spy and the author of the bordereau. 1897: Vice President of the French Senate Auguste Scheurer- Kestner attempts to reopen the Dreyfus investigation due to new evidence that he is innocent. 1898: January: Esterhazy is found innocent by the military. Emile Zola writes “J’Accuse” a newspaper article in which he accuses the French military of a conspiracy against Dreyfus. August/September: Esterhazy appears before a military inquiry and gives details of his spying activity. He then flees to England. Dreyfus Returns 1899: August/September: Dreyfus is brought back to France and receives a second trial. It causes an international sensation. Dreyfus is again found guilty under “extenuating circumstances” and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Dreyfus supporters face angry mobs and protestors. The country is divided between those who support the military and those who support Dreyfus.

  • Volume 3 Number 139 the Dreyfus Affair
    Volume 3 Number 139 The Dreyfus Affair - Part IV Lead: Imprisoned for treason he did not commit, French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus became the focus of a great national crusade. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: Dreyfus was clearly innocent. His 1894 conviction was fixed by military authorities anxious to protect the Army from the embarrassing discovery of a German spy in the War Ministry, but they got the wrong man. While Dreyfus served his sentence on Devil's Island, the infamous French prison colony off the coast of South America, his family and a growing number of supporters worked to prove his innocence. Among the most prominent of the Dreyfusards were George Clémenceau, the future wartime Premier, and the novelist and left wing agitator, Emile Zola. The Army's case against Dreyfus began to fall apart when Lt. Colonel Georges Picquart found evidence that the actual culprit was still at work. Major C.F. Esterhazy was unaware of the cause of Dreyfus' downfall since the proceedings had been kept secret. Esterhazy's handwriting matched that of the original spy letter which had been discovered by French counter- espionage. When Picquart tried to bring charges against Esterhazy, he was dismissed and the scandal became public. Esterhazy was later court- martialed, but the Army in desperation, forged documents and suppressed others and he was acquitted. However, the controversy would not die. On January 13, 1898 Emile Zola printed an open letter in a major newspaper under the headline, "J'Accuse," in which he accused the Army of duplicity and incompetence.

It is certain that the people in the occupied cities of Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcoing received less news than before the occupation, and most of the news they did receive came from an untrusted source, namely the German occupiers. However, research for this dissertation reveals that the cities at the urban heart of northern France, Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcoing, received more news than historians previously have believed. Research for this dissertation comprised of reviewing all the sources available in Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcong during the occupation, which included German-controlled newspapers produced in France and Belgium, a short-lived clandestine press, and newspapers published outside the occupied zone covertly imported into the cities.

The Affair or the State: Intellectuals, the Press, and the Dreyfus Affair Abstract In his introduction to The Age of Revolution historian Eric Hobsbawm considers "a few English words which were invented, or gained their modern meanings, substantially in the period" between 1789 and 1848. The list includes 'capitalism', 'socialism', 'aristocracy', 'liberal', 'conservative', 'nationality', 'crisis', 'journalism', and 'ideology'. For Hobsbawm, "To imagine the modern world without these words (i.e. without the things and concepts for which they provide names) is to measure the profundity of the revolution which broke out between 1789 and 1848, and forms the greatest transformation in human history since the remote times when men invented agriculture and metallurgy, writing, the city and the state." This analysis is relevant when thinking of the Dreyfus case. To imagine the Affair without words such as 'capitalism', 'aristocracy', 'nationality', 'crisis', or 'ideology', is not hard, it is impossible.

  • Descargar Número 22 De La Revista
    EDITORIAL Vivimos los últimos compases del 2020, tiempo de la covid-19, una pandemia recogida del año anterior cuya repercusión en todos los órdenes parece no terminar. En la Asociación hemos querido, a la vuelta del verano, una vez levantado el confinamiento estricto y con todas las precauciones, seguir en lo posible con nuestras actividades. Eso incluye la reunión semanal de los lunes en la sede y la celebración de varias conferencias, alguna ‘on line’, poniéndonos al día en la cuestión de las nuevas tecnologías, y las dos últimas presenciales. Otras actividades que no exigen asistencia se siguen con normalidad antigua: la confección del calendario con las fechas de fiestas judías y cristianas y, cómo no, la edición de nuestra revista Diálogo Judeo-Cristiano que, puntualmente, sale este mes de diciembre con el número 22. En esta ocasión ofrece una biografía del P. José Miguel Sustaeta, fundador de la Asociación, escrita por su sobrino Víctor Puigdengolas Sustaeta, un extenso artículo de Ana María Cort sobre el “affaire” Dreyfus y dos artículos de noticias. D. José Miguel Sustaeta Elústiza fue un sacerdote de origen vasco, residente en Valencia, Canónigo de la Catedral y Profesor de Liturgia, que sentía un particular amor por el pueblo judío. En su carácter coexistía, junto a un acendrado tradicionalismo en las ideas, un particular gusto por innovación en las formas. Su contribución al nacimiento de la Amistad Judeo-Cristiana fue decisiva, no solo animó la Asociación en sus primeros años sino que, gracias a sus gestiones en el Arzobispado, se consiguió la aprobación de los estatutos.

  • The Dreyfus Affair in Spain: Zola and the Rise of the Intellectual in Spain
    THE DREYFUS AFFAIR IN SPAIN: ZOLA AND THE RISE OF THE INTELLECTUAL IN SPAIN _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts _______________ By Bethany Joy B. Hood May, 2017 i THE DREYFUS AFFAIR IN SPAIN: ZOLA AND THE RISE OF THE INTELLECTUAL IN SPAIN _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts _______________ By Bethany Joy B. Hood May, 2017 iii ABSTRACT This thesis briefly examines the influence of the Dreyfus Affair in Spain, specifically examining how Émile Zola and the development of the French intellectual directly influenced the creation of a Spanish intellectual movement at the end of the nineteenth century. By examining primary sources like Spanish newspapers and letters written to and from Zola, it seeks to add to the historiographical discussion of the Dreyfus Affair by tracing the role of Zola in Spanish conversations surrounding the Affair. Emboldened by Zola, Spanish intellectuals then used the Dreyfus Affair as a platform to promote their own ideological visions of Spain. Specifically, Spanish intellectuals sought Spanish social and political reform in an corrupt, established two-party political system, publically denouncing the failures of the ruling Spanish regime. It also compares both French and Spanish public sentiment surrounding the Affair, primarily examining urban middle class intellectuals residing in Barcelona, Madrid, Cádiz, and Paris. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter 1.
