  • Femme Fatale
    the cinematic flâneur manifestations of modernity in the male protagonist of 1940s film noir Petra Désirée Nolan Submitted in Total Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2004 The School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology The University of Melbourne Abstract The hardboiled hero is recognised as a central trope in the film noir cycle, and particularly in the ‘classic’ noir texts produced in Hollywood in the 1940s. Like the films themselves, this protagonist has largely been understood as an allegorical embodiment of a bleak post-World War Two mood of anxiety and disillusionment. Theorists have consistently attributed his pessimism, alienation, paranoia and fatalism to the concurrent American cultural climate. With its themes of murder, illicit desire, betrayal, obsession and moral dissolution, the noir canon also proves conducive to psychoanalytic interpretation. By oedipalising the noir hero and the cinematic text in which he is embedded, this approach at best has produced exemplary noir criticism, but at worst a tendency to universalise his trajectory. This thesis proposes a complementary and newly historicised critical paradigm with which to interpret the noir hero. Such an exegesis encompasses a number of social, aesthetic, demographic and political forces reaching back to the nineteenth century. This will reveal the centrality of modernity in shaping the noir hero’s ontology. The noir hero will also be connected to the flâneur, a figure who embodied the changes of modernity and who emerged in the mid-nineteenth century as both an historical entity and a critical metaphor for the new subject. As a rehistoricised approach will reveal, this nineteenth century—or classic—flâneur provides a potent template for the noir hero.

Introduction: Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Wagner 1 In the 19th century the traditional Platonic-Christian conception of human being underwent a revolution in which we are still caught up and with which we still have to come to terms. Darwin is one name often mentioned in this connection, Marx another, Freud a third. In this seminar I would like to examine some aspects and consequences of this revolution by taking a look at some of Nietzsche's writings. This examination will focus on three themes, truth, value, and tragedy. My discussion will end with a consideration of Zarathustra,1 but much of it will be concerned with Nietzsche’s early writings, especially The Birth of Tragedy. To introduce that discussion I shall begin, however, by taking a careful look at two short essays dating from that period, at "The Pathos of Truth," dating from 1872, and "On Truth and Lie in an Extramoral Sense," dating from the following year.2 More clearly than The Birth of Tragedy3 these essays allow us to understand the nature of Nietzsche's philosophical project, his life-long struggle with nihilism.

  • Literatures Without a Fixed Abode. Figures of Vectorial Imagination Beyond the Dichotomies of National and World Literature
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Repository of the Ibero-American Institute, Berlin Ottmar Ette Literatures without a Fixed Abode. Figures of Vectorial Imagination Beyond the Dichotomies of National and World Literature 1. World Literature and Mobile Specialization In his 1952 festschrift essay with the programmatic title “Philologie der Weltliteratur” (“Philology of World Literature”), Erich Auerbach – author of Mimesis: Dargestellte Wirklichkeit in der abendländischen Literatur (Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Litera- ture), composed between May 1942 and April 1945 in his Istanbul exile – sketched the outlines of a philology that in the wake of the Second World War would elucidate the “profound changes in the gen- eral condition of life”,1 and afford “insight into their total signifi- cance”2 and suggest ‘the practical consequences’ to be drawn there- from (Auerbach 1967: 302). Important for this German-Jewish emigrant – who starting in 1947 taught Romance languages and literature at dif- ferent renowned universities in the United States – was a critical de- velopment of Goethe’s concept of Weltliteratur (world literature), which, as Auerbach well knew, was in large part conceived by Germany’s na- tional poet as a foil to the dominant concept of national literature.3 Goethe’s remark of 31 January 1827 was paradigmatic: “Nationallite- ratur will jetzt nicht viel sagen, die Epoche der Weltliteratur ist an der Zeit, und jeder muß jetzt dazu wirken, diese Epoche zu beschleunigen” (Eckermann 1981: 211).4 There can be no doubt that it was Erich Auer- bach’s concern, against the backdrop of the historical events of his time, to make his own contribution to a new era of world literature.

B. IRVING AUTHOR OF "THI -rffi or JUDGE jirntrs LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1901 All rights reserved PREFACE " The annals of criminal jurisprudence," wrote Edmund Burke, " exhibit human nature in a variety of positions, at once the most striking, interesting, and affecting. They present tragedies of real life, often heightened in their effect by the grossness of the injustice, and the malignity of the prejudices which accompanied them. At the same time, real culprits, as original characters, stand forward on the canvas of humanity as prominent objects for our special study." The last sentence in this passage applies directly to the cases set out in this volume, which have been selected from the French criminal records of the nineteenth century. They are studies of real culprits, whose guilt is, in all but one instance, beyond the suspicion of a doubt. As studies of character, and as examples of the adminis tration of criminal justice in France, they may be of some interest or value to those who look to the human docu ment for specimens of human character as it actually is, or for suggestions on which to build some work of fiction.

  • The Tale of Terror
    The Tale Of Terror By Edith Birkhead The Tale Of Terror CHAPTER I - INTRODUCTORY. The history of the tale of terror is as old as the history of man. Myths were created in the early days of the race to account for sunrise and sunset, storm-winds and thunder, the origin of the earth and of mankind. The tales men told in the face of these mysteries were naturally inspired by awe and fear. The universal myth of a great flood is perhaps the earliest tale of terror. During the excavation of Nineveh in 1872, a Babylonian version of the story, which forms part of the Gilgamesh epic, was discovered in the library of King Ashurbanipal (668-626 B.C.); and there are records of a much earlier version, belonging to the year 1966 B.C. The story of the Flood, as related on the eleventh tablet of the Gilgamesh epic, abounds in supernatural terror. To seek the gift of immortality from his ancestor, Ut- napishtim, the hero undertakes a weary and perilous journey. He passes the mountain guarded by a scorpion man and woman, where the sun goes down; he traverses a dark and dreadful road, where never man trod, and at last crosses the waters of death. During the deluge, which is predicted by his ancestor, the gods themselves are stricken with fear: "No man beheld his fellow, no more could men know each other. In heaven the gods were afraid … They drew back, they climbed up into the heaven of Anu. The gods crouched like dogs, they cowered by the walls." Another episode in the same epic, when Nergal, the god of the dead, brings before Gilgamesh an apparition of his friend, Eabani, recalls the impressive scene, when the witch of Endor summons the spirit of Samuel before Saul.
