"Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature," in L'obsession à l'œuvre: littérature, cinéma et société en Grande-Bretagne. Eds. Jean- François Baiollon and Paul Veyret. Bourdeaux: CLIMAS, 2012: 15-32. Publisher Link. © 2012 CLIMAS. Used with permission. Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Perhaps it was totally predictable that the past year has seen both the publication of a major book by Lennard Davis entitled Obsession!, as well as a new two player board game called "Obsession" in which one player wins by moving his ten rings along numbered slots. Interest in obsession, it would seem, is everywhere in high and low cultures. For Davis, obsession is both a cultural manifestation of what modernity has wrought, and a psychoanalytical phenomenon: in fact, he defines it as a recurring thought whose content has become disconnected from its original significance causing the dominance of repetitive mental intrusions (Davis 6). Recent studies have revealed that there are five broad categories of obsession: dirt and contamination, aggression, the placing of inanimate objects in order, sex, and finally religion2 Another recent study, however, claims that obsessive thoughts generally center on three main themes: the aggressive, the sexual, or the blasphemous (qtd. Davis 9). It is that last category - the blasphemous - that I think emerges in British gothic literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly as seen in the persistent anti-Catholicism that plays such a central role in so many of those works (Radcliffe's The italian, Lewis's The Monk, and Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer being only the most obvious).

  • Adam Mickiewicz's
    Readings - a journal for scholars and readers Volume 1 (2015), Issue 2 Adam Mickiewicz’s “Crimean Sonnets” – a clash of two cultures and a poetic journey into the Romantic self Olga Lenczewska, University of Oxford The paper analyses Adam Mickiewicz’s poetic cycle ‘Crimean Sonnets’ (1826) as one of the most prominent examples of early Romanticism in Poland, setting it across the background of Poland’s troubled history and Mickiewicz’s exile to Russia. I argue that the context in which Mickiewicz created the cycle as well as the final product itself influenced the way in which Polish Romanticism developed and matured. The sonnets show an internal evolution of the subject who learns of his Romantic nature and his artistic vocation through an exploration of a foreign land, therefore accompanying his physical journey with a spiritual one that gradually becomes the main theme of the ‘Crimean Sonnets’. In the first part of the paper I present the philosophy of the European Romanticism, situate it in the Polish historical context, and describe the formal structure of the Crimean cycle. In the second part of the paper I analyse five selected sonnets from the cycle in order to demonstrate the poetic journey of the subject-artist, centred around the epistemological difference between the Classical concept of ‘knowing’ and the Romantic act of ‘exploring’. Introduction The purpose of this essay is to present Adam Mickiewicz's “Crimean Sonnets” cycle – a piece very representative of early Polish Romanticism – in the light of the social and historical events that were crucial for the rise of Romantic literature in Poland, with Mickiewicz as a prize example.

    SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE (ICLC DRAFT DOCUMENT) BOOK I *********************************************** THE EARLY SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE ************************************** THE FRENCH REVOLUTION of 1789-1815: A SYNARCHIST INTERNATIONAL EXERCISE IN PURGATIVE VIOLENCE ************************** by Pierre Beaudry LEESBURG VIRGINIA, JUNE 2005 1 DEDICATION. This book is dedicated to the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) worldwide, and particularly to the French LYM, who deserve to know the truth about French history and world affairs. Previous generations of French citizens had settled their accounts with their immediate past history by either going to war, or by getting involved into absurd coups d'Etat, however, they never knew why they were doing so. My generation of Bohemian Bourgeois (BoBos) has not done that; it didn't care to do anything for history, nor for the future generations. It was only interested in lying and in taking care of "Me, Me, Me!" The problem that the youth of today are face with is that the truth about the French Revolution, about Napoleon Bonaparte, about the synarchy, about the destruction of the Third Republic, or about Vichy fascism, has never been told. So, either the truth comes out now, and finally exorcises the French population as a whole, once and forever, or else the French nation is doomed to repeat the same mistakes of the past, again and again. 2 BEASTMAN BONAPARTE 3 SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE (ICLC DRAFT DOCUMENT) BOOK I *********************************************** THE EARLY SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE ************************************** THE FRENCH REVOLUTION of 1789-1815: A SYNARCHIST INTERNATIONAL EXERCISE IN PURGATIVE VIOLENCE ************************** 1.1 THE ORIGINAL MARTINIST CULT OF LYON . ………………………………18 1.2 INTRODUCTION 2.2 RELIGIOUS FANATICISM OF THE MARTINIST CULT 3.2 THE GNOSTIC HERESY AND THE MARTINIST SYNARCHY 4.2 THE CATHARS 5.2 WHAT IS MARTINISM? 6.2 THE CHARACTERISTIC OF LOUIS-CLAUDE DE SAINT-MARTIN.

  • Some Recent Definitions of German Romanticism, Or the Case Against Dialectics
    SOME RECENT DEFINITIONS OF GERMAN ROMANTICISM, OR THE CASE AGAINST DIALECTICS by Robert L. Kahn When the time came for me to be seriously thinking about writing this paper-and you can see from the title and description that I gave myself plenty of leeway-I was caught in a dilemma. In the beginning my plan had been simple enough: I wanted to present a report on the latest develop- ments in the scholarship of German Romanticism. As it turned out, I had believed very rashly and naively that I could carry on where Julius Peter- sen's eclectic and tolerant book Die Wesensbestimmung der deutschen Romantik (Leipzig, 1926), Josef Komer's fragmentary and unsystematic reviews in the Marginalien (Frankfurt a. M., 1950), and Franz Schultz's questioning, though irresolute, paper "Der gegenwartige Stand der Roman- tikforschungM1had left off. As a matter of fact, I wrote such an article, culminating in what I then considered to be a novel definition of German Romanticism. But the more I thought about the problem, the less I liked what I had done. It slowly dawned on me that I had been proceeding on a false course of inquiry, and eventually I was forced to reconsider several long-cherished views and to get rid of certain basic assumptions which I had come to recognize as illusory and prejudicial. It became increasingly obvious to me that as a conscientious literary historian I could not discuss new contributions to Romantic scholarship in vacuo, but that I was under an obligation to relate the spirit of these pronouncements to our own times, as much as to relate their substance to the period in question.

While this course provides a useful survey of the major works of Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov, our primary focus will be these authors‟ engagement with and appropriation of a range of Western European themes, motifs, genres, and aesthetic strategies. We will consider these acts of appropriation from a variety of theoretical perspectives in an effort to understand how Pushkin and Lermontov‟s texts incorporate a common European inheritance in different ways. At the heart of our discussions will be a concern with the ethics of appropriation. We will ask what the creative acts of borrowing, imitation, and quotation reveal about the subject positions Pushkin and Lermontov define in their works. Our interest in the ethical core of aesthetics will also be reflected in the works covered in the course—most of which deal with the dynamics of self and other, love and death, desire and transgression. Readings: Readings for the course will be made available (as links or attached files) on Courseweb as the semester progresses. Readings marked (R) are recommended, but not required. I will make an effort to provide both the original and a English or Russian translation of all French and German readings.

  • L'histoire Du Festin De La Mort En Littérature Produit Celle Des Démons Aussi
    L’histoire du festin de la mort en littérature Mémoire de fin d’études au Département de littérature française de l’Université Sophia présenté par Ayae SUZUKI 2009 Introduction Le XIX e siècle en France est l’époque où la culture de gastronomie s’épanouit d’un seul trait. Ce phénomène est pour ainsi dire le produit de l’histoire : lors la révolution en 1789 les nobles exilés laissèrent leur cuisiniers particuliers qui ouvrirent plusieurs restaurants à la capitale Paris pour faire des repas somptueux affranchis du monopole de la classe privilégiée. Les hommes du jour se pressent alors dans les restaurants de première classe telle que Rocher de Cancale ou Véry. Et de plus les bourgeois montants ont envie d’imiter « les splendeurs des rois 1» au travers du dîner, comme Balzac le décrit dans Le Cousin Pons (1847). La puissance financière passe du faubourg Saint-Germain où habitent les nobles de famille illustre à la Chaussée d'Antin où s’établissent les parvenus. Leur festin fait évoquer celui de Trimalcion peint dans le Satyricon de Pétrone. Le temps est sous le règne de Néron. Un affranchi Trimalcion donne un festin avec un faste comme celui des rois et avec des voluptés abominables. Au sein du festin, un esclave apporte un squelette en argent. C’est le memento mori 2 qui « est destiné à rappeler au buveur et au jouisseur l’inéluctabilité de la mort, donc la nécessité de jouir de la vie 3 ». Cette pensée épicurienne dans la Rome antique est renouvelée par certains jeunes gens de Paris du XIXe siècle.
