ARAGON, CALVO, JOUHANDEAU, 1944-45 Aparna Nayak-Guercio, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This dissertation focuses on the months of liberation of France, June 1944 to May 1945. It analyzes three under-studied works taken as samples of texts that touch upon the question of contested identities. The texts are chosen from the main divisions of the political spectrum, namely Gaullist, far right, and far left. Although the focus is on the texts themselves, I trace the arguments found in these works to the larger discourses in which they are inscribed. In particular, I address the questions of guilt and innocence, justice and vengeance, past and future in the given historical circumstances. The first chapter examines “Le droit romain n’est plus” by Louis Aragon. I focus on the discussion of justice, vengeance, and punishment as they emerge from the text, notions that are embedded in the broader polemics among the intellectuals of the Resistance. I discuss the importance of music in this story where it plays the role of a structuring device. Finally, I examine the associations that can be made between writing, music and nationalism in the larger context of national identity. The second chapter deals with La Bête est morte! La guerre mondiale chez les animaux by Calvo. It is an allegory using animals as protagonists and is in comic book format. I discern three loci in the narration that work together in order to re-inscribe the national identity in the values of the republic, thereby providing its young readers with a grammar of good and evil, patriotism and treason, guilt and absolution. The third chapter is a discussion of Journal sous l’Occupation by Marcel Jouhandeau who flirted with Fascism in the 1930s and manifested his anti-Semitism in articles and a book. I read his Journal sous l’Occupation as a public testimony in writing of his purge trial that never happened. I investigate the question of fear, the process of self-exoneration in his reasoning, the question of the journal as instrument of self-definition, and discuss personal and national identity. iv The conclusion focuses on Guy Kohen’s Retour d’Auschwitz and ties the different works and contemporary journalistic discourses together. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE.................................................................................................................................VIII 1.0 INTRODUCTION........................................................................................................ 1 2.0 “LE DROIT ROMAIN N’EST PLUS”: ARAGON ON JUSTICE AND VENGEANCE............................................................................................................................. 44 2.1 THE WRITER AND THE CONTEXT ........................................................... 45 2.2 LAW AND JUSTICE ........................................................................................ 56 2.2.1 Form............................................................................................................. 57 2.2.2 Droit, loi, justice........................................................................................... 62 2.3 MUSIC, CULTURAL POLITICS, NATIONALISM .................................... 78 2.3.1 Culture: instrument of propaganda and of resistance ............................ 78 2.3.2 Music, musicality and politics in “Le droit romain n’est plus”.............. 83 3.0 D’OU VENONS-NOUS ?

I am also appreciative of the encouragement received in the course of the years from all my professors in Pittsburgh, Bombay, and Paris. Sincere thanks also to all my friends. I would never have been able to bring this project to term without the support of my parents and parents- in-law to whom I owe heartfelt thanks. Above all, the material, intellectual, moral support of my husband Salvo were instrumental in keeping me on track and I could never thank him enough. Last but not least, I thank my son Valerio for always reminding me that there is life outside graduate school. This dissertation is dedicated to my parents. viii 1.0 INTRODUCTION World War II was a time of division, equivocation and even civil war in France. Not only was the country divided geographically into the Occupied Zone and the Free Zone, it also had two governing bodies that contended for power, one legitimated by the Germans and present on French soil, the other a self-proclaimed “Free France”, exiled in London and recognized by the English. The question of national identity in France at the moment of Liberation remains a delicate issue. Indeed, from the Armistice of June 1940 onwards, there was a deep schism in French society. The Vichy regime which was in power collaborated with the German occupying force, while the Resistance movement opposed both the occupiers and the regime in power. This seemingly simple dichotomy becomes further complicated when considering the differences of political opinion within these two larger factions. Not only were there Resistance groups from the whole political spectrum with their differences and dissidences, the Vichy regime too was “a pluralist dictatorship”

    KME Chapter Handbook Updated July 2018 www.kappamuepsilon.org I. History and purpose of KME A. Description and purpose of KME Kappa Mu Epsilon is a national mathematics honor society, promoting interest in mathematics among undergraduate students. Its chapters are located in colleges and universities of recognized standing which offer a strong mathematics major. The chapters' members are selected from students of mathematics and other closely related fields who have maintained standards of scholarship, have professional merit, and have attained academic distinction. The primary purposes of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following: to further the interests of mathematics among undergraduate students; to help undergraduate students realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development of civilization; to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due, mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought; to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level; to disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and familiarize its members with the current progress in this important area of human interest. to provide opportunities for undergraduate students to present and publish their original work in the field of mathematics and closely related fields where they apply mathematics. B. A brief history The rapid growth of colleges and universities in the United States during the latter part of the 19th Century led to the development of professional societies in many fields. Local clubs were formed in educational institutions to promote the rising professionalism, and the desire for affiliation with other groups of similar interest led to the organization of these local clubs into state and national organizations.

    Commission pour l’indemnisation des victimes de spoliations intervenues du fait des législations antisémites en vigueur pendant l’Occupation Report to the public on the work of the 2019 Proceedings of the symposium held on November 15, 2019 Speech by French President Jacques Chirac, on July 16, 1995, at the commemoration of the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup (July 16, 1942) Excerpts « In the life of a nation, there are times that leave painful memories and damage people’s conception of their country. It is difficult to evoke these moments because we can never find the proper words to describe their horror or to express the grief of those who experienced their tragedy. They will carry forever, in their souls and in their flesh, the memory of these days of tears and shame. [… ] On that day, France, land of the Enlightenment, of Human Rights, of welcome and asylum, committed the irreparable. Breaking its word, it handed those who were under its protection over to their executioners. [… ] Our debt to them is inalienable. [… ] In passing on the history of the Jewish people, of its sufferings and of the camps. In bearing witness again and again. In recognizing the errors of the past, and the errors committed by the State. In concealing nothing about the dark hours of our history, we are simply standing up for a vision of humanity, of human liberty and dignity. We are thus struggling against the forces of darkness, which are constantly at work. [… ] Let us learn the lessons of history. Let us refuse to be passive onlookers, or accomplices, of unacceptable acts.

Avec Serge Klarsfeld nous sommes face à un engagement exceptionnel qui constitue l’œuvre d’une vie : la poursuite des criminels nazis et de leurs complices et un travail patient, fastidieux de mémoire pour reconstituer l’identité et l’itinéraire des 76 000 déportés Juifs de France. Telle est l’œuvre de cet avocat, historien qui préside l’association des Fils et Filles des Déportés Juifs de France. Cette quête de vérité l’a poussé avec sa femme, Beate, à traquer par tous les moyens d’anciens nazis comme Klaus Barbie et à dépouiller inlassablement les archives.

  • Jean Cocteau's the Typewriter
    1 A Queer Premiere: Jean Cocteau’s The Typewriter Introduction Late in April 1941, toward the close of the first Parisian theatre season fol- lowing the Defeat, Jean Cocteau’s La Machine à écrire (The Typewriter) opened, then closed, then reopened at the Théâtre Hébertot. Written in the style of a detective drama, the play starred the actor generally known—at least in the entertainment world at the time—as Cocteau’s sometime lover and perpetual companion, Jean Marais, as identical twin brothers. The re- views are curiously reticent about what exactly occurred at the Hébertot, and historians and critics offer sometimes contradictory pieces of a puzzle that, even when carefully put together, forms an incomplete picture. The fragments are, however, intriguing. Merrill Rosenberg describes how, on the evening of April 29, 1941, the dress rehearsal (répétition génerale), sponsored “as a gala” by the daily Paris-Soir and attended by various “dig- nitaries,” caused in the Hébertot’s auditorium a demonstration by members of the Parti Populaire Français (PPF). This disruption prompted Vichy’s ambas- sador to Paris, Fernand de Brinon, to order the withdrawal of the production (“Vichy’s Theatrical Venture” 136). Francis Steegmuller describes the disor- der that greeted the Typewriter premiere and the revival of Les Parents Terribles (at the Gymnase later that year): “stink bombs exploded in the theatres, and hoodlums filled the aisles and climbed onto the stage, shouting obscenities at Cocteau and Marais as a couple” (442).1 Patrick Marsh too notes that these plays “were seriously disrupted by violent scenes fomented by fascist sym- pathizers and members of the Parti Populaire Français” (“Le Théâtre 1 2 THE DRAMA OF FALLEN FRANCE Français .

  • Amrita Sher-Gil—The European Connection
    Amrita Sher-Gil—The European connection This talk was proposed in a very sponteanous manner when Geza, who had been asking me to do an exhibition, said that he was leaving shortly. As with the Sher-Gil archive exhibition held here some years ago, the approach would be using archival material, go through the biography and finally suggest some other ways of looking at the subject. The talk was to be mainly spoken, interlaced with quotations. Now there will be telegraphic information in place of the verbal. In other words an a hugely incomplete presentation, compensated by a large number of visuals. I hope you will bear with us. 1&2: Umrao Singh and his younger brother, Sunder Singh taken in 1889, most probably by Umrao Singh himself. Striking a pose, being unconventional, Umrao Singh looks out, while his brother places his bat firmly on the ground—the latter will be knighted, will start one of Asia’s largest sugar factory in Gorakhpur ( where Amrita will spend the last years of her life ). Umrao will use his camera with a personal passion and take self portraits for almost sixty years as well as photograph his new family. Umrao Singh went to London in 1896 for a year and would certainly have met Princess Bamba, the daughter of Raja Dalip Singh, and Grand daughter of Raja Ranjit Singh. 3& 4: In October 1910 she came to Lahore with a young Hungarian, who was her travelling companion. On new years eve Umrao Singh wrote in Marie Antionette dairy a poem of Kalidasa and a friend, an Urdu poet wrote in the same book on 15 January 1911, the following poem translated by Umrao Singh.

Histoire du producteur Né le 21 février 1910 dans une famille parisienne de la bourgeoisie financière, Daniel Decourdemanche, alias Jacques Decour, endosse provisoirement le rôle d'héritier d'un père agent de change, en menant de brillantes études secondaires au lycée Pasteur de Neuilly, en poursuivant des études de droit et en épousant, en 1929, la fille d'un professeur de lycée, Jacqueline Bailly, dont il aura en 1933, une fille, Brigitte. Cependant dès 1930, c'est la rupture : il fait paraître chez Gallimard son premier roman Le Sage et le Caporal et entame des études d'allemand couronnées, en 1932, par l'agrégation. Il n'aura ensuite de cesse d'allier œuvres de l'intelligence et désir d'action, dessinant concomitamment la figure de l'intellectuel, professeur et écrivain, et celle de l'homme engagé, communiste et résistant au-delà des appartenances politiques.
