  • LOLITA Opéra Imaginaire D’Après La Roman De Vladimir Nabokov Composé Et Arrangé Par Joshua Fineberg
    LOLITA Opéra imaginaire d’après la roman de Vladimir Nabokov composé et arrangé par Joshua Fineberg 1. Argument Spectacle multi-média pour danseurs/acteurs, voix, ensemble, électronique et vidéo Mon travail a longtemps porté sur la question des sources (modèles) de la réalité et de leurs représentations (réalisations) dans les œuvres artistiques. C'est un thème central dans toute la musique spectrale, de la synthèse orchestrale d'un trombone dans Partiels de Grisey à l'analyse/re-synthèse en temps réel de l'ensemble instrumental dans ma propre pièce Empreintes. Ce rapport (du modèle à la représentation) est presque toujours destructif. Le modèle semble pauvre une fois que l'artifice l'a révélé dans une plus riche apparence. Un « original » qui devrait résonner dans sa « légitimité » est accablé par la force de sa transcription. Pour moi, c'est là la vraie histoire racontée par Lolita de Nabokov. L’œuvre de Nabokov a suscité beaucoup de polémiques et a été adaptée en diverses réalisations dramatiques (les plus notables étant deux grands films); cependant ces adaptations se sont toutes concentrées sur ce qui est peut-être l’aspect le moins intéressant du roman – son intrigue. Pour moi, l'idée vraiment essentielle de l’œuvre est la nature en soi destructive de la transcription artistique d'un personnage, d'un événement, d'une scène ou d'un son. Transposant une adolescente réelle en une vision sublimée Humbert la tue de fait et place un double à sa place (ironiquement il la détruit assez complètement dans la réalité). Le vrai personnage féminin est vu seulement de temps en temps et à travers des aperçus furtifs (comme ses yeux rougeoyants, brillant en de rares occasions derrière un masque ornemental).

AESTHETIC EXCUSES AND MORAL CRIMES: THE CONVERGENCE OF MORALITY AND AESTHETICS IN NABOKOV”S LOLITA by JENNIFER ELIZABETH GREEN Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt ABSTRACT This thesis examines the debate between morality and aesthetics that is outlined by Nabokov in Lolita’s afterword. Incorporating a discussion of Lolita’s critical history in order to reveal how critics have chosen a single, limited side of the debate, either the moral or aesthetic, this thesis seeks to expose the complexities of the novel where morality and aesthetics intersect. First, the general moral and aesthetic features of Lolita are discussed. Finally, I address the two together, illustrating how Lolita cannot be categorized as immoral, amoral, or didactic. Instead, it is through the juxtaposition of form and content, parody and reality, that the intersection of aesthetics and morality appears, subverting and repudiating the voice of its own narrator and protagonist, evoking sympathy for an appropriated and abused child, and challenging readers to evaluate their own ethical boundaries.

  • Lolita Fashion, Like Other Japanese Subcultures, Developed As a Response a to Social Pressures and Anxieties Felt by Young Women and Men in the 1970S and 1980S
    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.

  • Longing in Lolita Emily Aucompaugh Submitted for Honors in English the University at Albany, SUNY Directed by Helen Elam (Date)
    To Speak Ghosts and See Echoes: Longing in Lolita Emily Aucompaugh Submitted for Honors in English The University at Albany, SUNY Directed by Helen Elam (Date) Chapter 1: Echoes and Ghosts A while ago, when I knew only that I wished to write something about Lolita, a friend sent me an internet article titled, “How Lolita seduces us all.” The author argues that the success of Vladimir Nabokov’s novel derives foremost from the “tiny Humbert’s” the text creates out of readers who avail themselves “of morally troubling pleasure.” Admittedly, when it comes to a novel like Lolita, which explores the extreme taboo of a middle-aged intellect in a sexual relationship with his twelve-year-old stepdaughter, the plot often tempts the reader to measure his or her own moral standing based on the degree to which they sympathize with Humbert Humbert and enjoy his story. Of course, examining the moral implications of the text in relation to one’s own empathetic response to a murderous pedophile is an important, indeed a necessary, component when analyzing a text such as Lolita. I remember reading the novel in my freshman year of college, and making the mistake of stating to one of my English professors that I liked Humbert Humbert. She without hesitation corrected my assertion by distancing me from my emotional response. With a slight sneer of disgust, she said, “You don’t like Humbert. You mean he interests you.” I did not mean then, and do not mean now, that Humbert merely interested me, like a spectacle to be observed only through the scientific lens of a biologist.

  • Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, Edited by Harold Bloom, 13-33
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 57, Issue No. 1 (January – June, 2020) Amna Umer Cheema * Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita: Humbert Humbert’s Psychological Transition from Desire to Remorse Abstract This research paper is an evaluation of the psychological transition in Humbert Humbert's character - the protagonist of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita. Humbert is initially driven by his obsessive desire for nymphets. His untamed lust results in the victimization of his stepdaughter. The research attempts to explore the behavioural and emotional change in Humbert's character. This change is analyzed with respect to the conflicting emotions of 'desire' and 'remorse' which, according to Humbert, are the characteristic features of his personality. By establishing the narcissistic element as the defining factor of Humbert's character, it has been deduced that he is incapable of remorse. Introduction This paper is an examination of Humbert's psychological journey from desire to remorse. The aim of the research is to delineate the thought processes which stimulate Humbert's obsession with Lolita, alias, Dolores Haze to undergo a transformation, and to unravel how his conscience reprimands him. The objective is to establish that Humbert's journey in the novel is an emotional and behavioural movement from a lustful obsession to self-admonition. Apart from this, there is emphasis on the obtruding nature of his desire for Lolita, and it has been inferred how his compulsively preoccupied yearning for the young child ironically results in the shattering and debilitation of his own personality. Humbert's character has proved feasible in comprehending the dilemma which engulfs pedophiles, particularly those haunted by the ‘Lolita Complex’ - the perverse infatuation of adult males with very young female children.

En effet, comme l'explique Linda Hutcheon (Hutcheon 7), l'adaptation met en œuvre un processus de transcodage du code écrit au code filmique, qui est lui-même multisémiotique, puisqu'un film associe images mouvantes et fixes, langage et naturellement musique.
