Namespaces Article Talk. This article needs additional citations for verification. Marceline follows Michel on his travels, even when she eventually contracts tuberculosis. He has grown bored and lonely in his new surroundings and desires to be reintegrated with society. He sends his account of the narrative in a letter to an influential acquaintance to try to get Michel a job. Gide provoked exactly the range of public reactions he counted on. La Chartreuse de Parme Stendhal. One of those friends solicits job search assistance for Michel by including in a letter to Monsieur D. Listes avec ce livre 6 Voir plus. The Immoralist is much cleverer than its deceptively naive tone suggests. We do know that Michel's recovery was due to his wife's moral strength, although Michel, the atheist, leaves open the possibility that it was due to her prayers.

The English translation fails to convey Walter's efforts in this direction, translating 'l'orthographie' (93) -itself a wilful distortion of l'orthographe, 'spelling' - by 'diction' (79), and blurring matters further on pp. 106-7. Walter proposes to replace continuellement by continument, and douloureusement by douleureusement, for instance, the better to convey the sensation he is seeking to circumscribe.

Gide undertook formative trips to the Maghreb from the 1890s onwards, and Dessaix, while not his first visit to the region, retraces Gide’s itineraries in the 2000s. Mary Louise Pratt, in her essay “Mapping Ideology” (1981), speaks of the “Voyage South” to describe those narratives that “involve the discovery of a false Utopia, where a cornucopia of Europe’s forbidden fruits – illicit sex, crime, sloth, irrationality, sensuality, excessive power, cruelty, lost childhood – is offered up to the questing hero”.

The Cult Novel: Three Paradigmatic Cases—L’Immoraliste, Bonjour Tristesse, Extension Du Domaine De La Lutte

Barreira University of Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Barreira, Joseph A., "The ultC Novel: Three Paradigmatic Cases—L’Immoraliste, Bonjour Tristesse, Extension du Domaine de la Lutte" (2015). Doctoral Dissertations. 987. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/987 The Cult Novel: Three Paradigmatic Cases—L’Immoraliste, Bonjour Tristesse, Extension du Domaine de la Lutte Joseph A. Barreira, Ph. D. University of Connecticut, 2015 This dissertation proposes that there are specific and observable reasons why certain novels have attained the status of, and been commonly called, “cult novels” or “cult fiction”. It also proposes to delineate the development of this process through three major French novels of the twentieth century: André Gide’s L’Immoraliste (1902), Françoise Sagan’s Bonjour Tristesse (1954), and Michel Houellebecq’s Extension du Domaine de la Lutte (1994) as paradigmatic novels of the genre. Since cult fiction covers a wide range of literary “registers”, from Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mocking Bird, a realist novel seemingly aimed at “young readers”, to such emblems of “high” or “experimental literature” as James Joyce’s Ulysses, for instance, arriving at a contained, direct definition is no simple task. Nevertheless, there are some basic attributes that can help us to arrive at a working definition. Often, but not always, cult fiction originates outside the production of the literary establishment.

In a Queer Place in Time: Fictions of Belonging in Italy 1890-2010
In A Queer Place in Time: Fictions of Belonging in Italy 1890-2010 By Christopher Burke Atwood A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Professor Mia Fuller Professor Whitney Davis Fall 2014 ! Abstract In a Queer Place in Time: Fictions of Belonging in Italy 1890-2010 By Christopher Burke Atwood Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair ! In a Queer Place in Time: Fictions of Belonging in Italy 1890-2010 maps the “elsewheres”—spatial, temporal and intertextual— that authorize same-sex desire in modern Italy. Tracing a genealogy that spans from nineteenth century travel writing about Italy to contemporary Italian novels, I argue that texts exported from the Northern Europe and the U.S. function as vital site of affiliation and vexing points of discrepancy for Italy’s queers. Pier Vittorio Tondelli’s Camere separate (1989), for instance, cites the British novelist Christopher Isherwood as proof that – somewhere else – silence did not yoke homosexuality. Rather than defining sexuality as a constant set of desires, I demonstrate it to be a retroactive fiction. It is the fleeting affinity that the reading of inherited texts can evoke. In examining the reception of transnational gay narratives in the national context of Italy, this dissertation argues that the concept of “Western” homosexuality is internally riven.

Henna Ibrahim University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria. Sabrina Zerar University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria. Abstract Joseph Conrad has won a prominent place in the English literary tradition though he couldhave earned a similar name for himself in the French literary tradition if he had tried his hand in writing in French of which he had also a good command. However, his choice of writing in English has by no means diminished the impact that oeuvre, and much more particularly his Heart of Darkness has had on French writers such as André Gide, who in critical circles came to be dubbed as the ―Conrad de France.‖ In this research, we would argue that Albert Camus also fully deserves the nickname of a French Conrad adduced to Gide because of those striking resemblances in their works as imperial authors. Admittedly, unlike Gide, Camus is not Conrad‘s fellow contemporary. He neither exchanged friendly correspondence with Conrad across the English Channel, nor did he write that stylized version of Heart of darkness that Gide called Travels in the Congo,which explicitly invites comparison of the two authors. However, as we would contend Camus followed Gide‘s lead by having another look at the imperial or colonial world through Joseph Conrad‘s eyes to correct and adjust the existential vision of life in relation to the Self-Other encounter that Gide develops in his writings about colonial Algeria and the Congo.

Dissidence and Dissemblance in André Gide's the Immoralist
Masculinism in Twentieth-Century Literature: Dissidence and Dissemblance in André Gide’s The Immoralist, Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, and Philip Roth’s Sabbath’s Theater Amanda Emanuel Smith Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Doktorgrades (Dr. phil.) an der Neuphilologischen Fakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this book would not have been possible without the insight and counsel of my friends and peers in Heidelberg. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the steadfast support of my Doktorvater, Dr. Stefan Herbrechter. He offered critical feedback during the research and writing phases of the project that pushed me to not only hone masculinist themes, but to construct an argument about their continued relevance in literary and cultural studies. Working with him has been a highlight of my academic career. I am also infinitely grateful to Dr. Kirsten Hertel for keeping me grounded, and keeping me laughing, throughout this crazy process. Her keen eye caught incongruencies and mechanical errors that might have otherwise gone unnoticed, and her humor afforded much-needed levity in difficult moments. I would also like to thank Dr. Klaus Kempter for answering my countless questions and walking me through the administrative facets of this project. Lastly, I would like to send a special thanks to Scott, Lizzy and Oliver, who saw this book being written and who never wavered in their support and encouragement. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
