It analyses in what ways these concepts reflect a ‘shadowland’ existence in this period, and in turn how the shadow metaphor symbolises both the child itself and its complex, changeable condition. The shadow metaphor not only characterises various concepts associated with children and childhood, but extends to represent the nature of the study itself. The long-nineteenth century forms a stretch of ‘shadowland’ reflective of the abstruseness of the topic which lies between pre-Enlightenment ‘darkness’ and the illuminating ‘light’ of the twentieth century. The thesis focuses on this crucial though oft overlooked developmental period between the scholarly inception of children and childhood in the late Enlightenment, to their establishment as creative blueprints in twentieth-century modernism. Supported by a socio-historical grounding, an exploration of the work of Baudelaire, Hugo, Rousseau, Proust, Redon, Degas, Renoir, and Loïe Fuller, amongst others, enables us to ‘unpack’ the ways in which this shadowy quality gave rise to not only a curiosity to explore the fascinating ‘other’ of the child and its condition in this complex epoch, but also a proclivity to explain and control it. Investigating the rhetoric of children and childhood, considering their artistic and literary significance at this time, the thesis both accounts for how writers and artists reflected upon childhood, and explores the process by which children and childhood were harnessed by intellectual and creative endeavours. Various as the case studies prove, they can all be united in their fulfilment of a regression towards and reimagining of one’s childhood and personhood, like a re-engagement with the ‘shadow child’ within, in the face of the disturbing ephemerality of self alongside the destabilising onset of modernity. 1 Shadows of Childhood: The Emergence of the Child in the Visual and Literary Culture of the French Long-Nineteenth Century Sophie Rachel Handler Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of the History of Art School of Education University of Durham 2017 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 4 STATEMENT OF COPYRIGHT 16 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 17 INTRODUCTION 18 Lighting the Candle CHAPTER ONE 32 From the 20thCentury to the 19th Century: Revisiting the Shadows CHAPTER TWO 85 Romantic Enlightenment: Bleaching out the Shadows CHAPTER THREE 128 Negotiating the Dark Underbelly: Fear and Destitution in the Shadows CHAPTER FOUR 177 Blinded by the Light: Solace in the Shadows CHAPTER FIVE 229 Toy Town Theatre: No Shadow, No Soul CHAPTER SIX 269 Breaking the Mould: Shadowy Symbolism and Silhouetted Sovereignty CONCLUSION 320 Illuminating the Shadows BIBLIOGRAPHY 334 INDEX OF IMAGES 367 3 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS CHAPTER ONE From the Twentieth Century to the Nineteenth Century: Revisiting the Shadows Fig. 1.1: Alfred Jarry, illustration in Ubu Roi, 1896, Dover Publications, 368 New York, United States of America (2003).

    Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar

    Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Loek Groot Superstars are not by accident a conspicuous phenomenon in our culture, but inherently belong to a meritocratic society with mass media, free enterprise, and competition. To make this contention plausible I will use Caillois’s book, Man, Play and Games,1 to compare the mechanisms underlying the superstar phenomenon with a special kind of game, as set out by Caillois. As far as I know, Caillois’s book is not quoted in the literature dealing with income distribution theories, although the comparison with play and games is, for limited purposes, interesting. In play and games we find almost all elements which play a role in theories of just income distribution: equality of opportunity, chance, talent, competition and skill, reward, entitlement, winners and losers, etc. These are not chance similarities, for “. games are largely dependent upon the cultures in which they are practised. They affect their preferences, prolong their customs, and reflect their beliefs . One ...can . posit a truly reciprocal relationship between a society and the games it likes to play”.2 Moreover, as we will see, superstars combine the four basic characteristics of play that make their activities a special kind of play. Play or work Johan Huizinga,3 cited by Caillois, considers play as an activity which is not serious (that is, standing outside ordinary life), with no material interest and where no profit can be gained. Caillois disputes Huizinga’s belief that in games no material interests are involved. He sees this belief as a result of Huizinga’s restriction of his analysis to competitive games, and the consequent omission of games of chance.

  • Roger Caillois' Game Typology As Formalist Methodology

    Roger Caillois' Game Typology As Formalist Methodology

    Enacting aporia: Roger Caillois’ game typology as formalist methodology Michel Ottens Utrecht University Singelstraat 91 6828JZ Arnhem 31 612216701 [email protected] ABSTRACT This game analysis experimentally transposes Louis Hjelmslev's linguistic methodology, for logically deducing semiotic schema from a given text, to the analysis of games. Roger Caillois' fourfold model of game type rubrics is therefore reconceptualized, as a logically coherent analytic framework, from which an analysis might proceed indefinitely. Such analysis was practiced on a Dutch translation of the board game Lord of the Rings, to observe how this game manifests Caillois' rubrics of agôn (competition), alea (chance), mimicry (role-playing), and ilinx (disruptive play). Game studies methods akin to Hjelmslev's work already exist, and Caillois' efforts are often reconceptualized. However, this present work finds valuable avenues of inquiry in synthesizing these two thinkers. In extending Hjelmslev's work, stratified images of interlinked categories and components now appear at play in games. By reconceptualizing Caillois' efforts, those two axes, along which his four rubrics seem divided, now point to valuable lines of future inquiry. Keywords game studies, formalism, semiotics, glossematics, game type rubrics, agôn (competition), alea (chance), mimicry (role-playing), ilinx (pursuing vertigo), board games INTRODUCTION In his well regarded Prolegomena to a Theory of Language, linguist Louis Hjelmslev (1969, 3-20, 114-127) proposes a formalist methodology for the logically coherent and comprehensive deduction of analytical schema. These serve to further the study of language usage, and of semiotics more generally. Even if the spoken word was then generally favored in his field, he promotes a field of linguistics capable of addressing all forms of language, by provisionally schematizing how language forms derive from the purport or substance addressed.

    « Des Cris Étouffés » De Péret, Prolongement Du Chant VI D'« Exil »

    « Des cris étouffés » de Péret, prolongement du chant VI d’ « Exil » de Saint-John Perse par l’intermédiaire (possible) de Caillois Richard Spiteri Le poème « Des cris étouffés » de Benjamin Péret a été publié pour la première fois en février 1957 ― sans doute peu après avoir été écrit ― dans une plaquette contenant des illustrations de Toyen. Le peintre Meret Oppenheim en a couvert les frais 1. Le poème se distingue par l’épanaphore, figure de rhétorique qui consiste en la reprise des mêmes éléments au début de la phrase 2. Dans le cas de « Des cris étouffés », il s’agit des termes « celui qui […] ». Mon propos est d’examiner cette épanaphore et dans le poème de Péret et dans d’autres de Saint-John Perse où, en fait, elle a son origine. Pour renchérir sur la définition qu’André Breton donne de Saint-John Perse ― « surréaliste à distance » ― nous dirions que le poète diplomate est encore plus distant de Péret. L’on sait que, pendant la période 1925-1932, Alexis Léger exerça les fonctions de directeur de cabinet au Quai d’Orsay lorsque ce ministère fut sous la houlette d’Aristide Briand. Or celui-ci figure parmi les personnages politiques que Péret traîne dans la boue dans son recueil de poésies, Je ne mange pas de ce pain-là . Pourtant le temps devait parfois tracer pour les deux poètes des trajets tortueux parallèles. Par exemple, en 1940, Péret est dénoncé par Le Pilori , journal collaborationniste 3. 1 Voir Benjamin Péret , Œuvres Complètes, tome 7, Librairie J. Corti, 1995, p. 534.

    Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1

    © Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination.

    Negotiating Femininities: Petites Fitles and Public Parks in Nineteenth-Century Paris

    Negotiating Femininities: Petites Fitles and Public Parks in Nineteenth-Century Paris Sinead Helena Furlong eet essai etudie l'inscription textueUe et visueUe de la petiteflUe commeprototype de la mere bourgeoise, comme une petitefemme qui apprend ase conformer ala construction d'une feminite « honnete »dans la France du dix-neuvieme siecle. Les petites flUes apprenaient a negocier les constructions contemporaines de genre en observant et imitant les modeles du comportement, de I'habillement et de la parole. La realite de I'interieur domestique est exteriorisee dans le parcpublic, ou les enfants observent les adultes et apprennent ase comporter comme eux, jouant, selon les termes de Baudelaire, la comedie donnee adomicile par leurs parents mais en apprenant aussi les far;ons de subvertir les regles de la comedie domestique bourgeoise par le biais de feminites alternatives et parfois perturbantes. This essay considers the textual and visual inscription of the petite flUe as proto­ type ofthe bourgeois mother, a little woman learning how to conform to the con­ struct of "honest" femininity, in mid- to late-nineteenth-century France. Little girls learned to negotiate contemporary gender constructs by observing and emu­ lating female models of behaviour, dress and speech. In the domestic interior, available female models (mother, sister, other female relative, servant) were defined in terms oftheir relation to the little girl. However, once out ofthe home, myriad - and often ambiguous - models offemininity were to be found, in spite ofefforts on the part ofanxious mothers and fathers to exclude examples of"dis­ honest" femininity from the gaze of the growing child in the process of her socialisation into the Symbolic order ofclearly defined gender conceptsJ In nine­ teenth-century Paris, heroines ofpopular literature and the stage were courtesans and prostitutes, as were the most fashionable women to whom society columns and - ironically - fashion journals with their largely middle-class readership drew attention.
