Exile Timeline
EXILE TIMELINE Taken largely from Evelyn Blewer’s summarized life of Victor Hugo written for The UNESCO Courier in 1985, with some additions.(The Courier is also available in French and Spanish.) 1850 On 15 January a bill aimed at granting the clergy the monopoly of public education was rejected by Hugo as being a monstrous retrograde step. In his view the ideal consisted of free secular and above all else compulsory education where the gates of knowledge would be wide open to all brains. The forcible language of the discourse on the freedom of education was followed by other stands which ultimately alienated Hugo from the conservative parliamentarians. These included declarations on the restrictions placed on voting rights, against deportation, and in favour of the freedom of the theatre and the press. His drawings became more ambitious. He published an open letter addressed to the meeting of the International Peace Congress in Frankfurt and continued, albeit at a much slower pace, his poetic activity. Liszt’s symphonic poem What is heard on the mountain, based on poems by Hugo, was performed in Weimar. 1851 Besides being increasingly criticized by the government majority in the assembly, Hugo was also going through a serious crisis in his love life. Juliette Drouet discovered his relationship with Léonie Biard and the two women insisted that he choose between them. Fortunately for him events intervened. His family life was convulsed by the imprisonment of his sons for having written newspaper articles on capital punishment and on the right of sanctuary for foreign refugees. On 2 December Louis-Napoleon’s coup d’état found Hugo in the front rank of the Republican resistance, but his efforts were powerless against the might of the army and the passive attitude of the civilian population.

In March, it is exactly 150 years since ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo was published. Not in Paris as is often assumed, but in Brussels. The first theatrical performance of ‘Les Misérables’, an adaptation of the book by his son Charles, also took place in Brussels. In addition to these two premieres of ‘Les Misérables’, Brussels played a crucial role in Victor Hugo’s life and his career as a writer and thinker. Closely related to Hugo’s connection with Brussels is also his call for a United States of Europe.

polifoniaeISSN 22376844 Romantismo e imaginário hugoano. Volubilidade do “Homem que ri” nas artes visuais Romanticism and the hugolian imaginary. The volubility of The man who laughs in visual arts El romantismo y el imaginario de Victor Hugo. La volubilidad de El hombre que ríe en las artes visuales Junia Barreto Universidade de Brasília Resumo O imaginário hugoano é permeado pela figura onírica do caos, que se traduz em excesso, estranhamento, totalidade; elementos que compõem a estética romântica. Excesso e desordem expressos na desfiguração do L’homme qui rit, imagem do caos, figura do amontoamento da massa, mas une force qui va. Texto de tonalidade ímpar, carrega em suas releituras contemporâneas − no romance gráfico ou no cinema − a extemporaneidade ao período romântico e, na expressão do verbo, traço e imagens, o que as une ao romantismo francês, em sua mutabilidade e multiplicidade de sentidos. Da palavra ampla do monstro irrompe a volúpia que desorganiza os sentidos e os gêneros, aproximando e distanciando a estética hugoana do protótipo romântico. Palavras-chave: imaginário hugoano, L’homme qui rit, artes visuais. Abstract The oneiric image of chaos permeates Hugo’s imaginary, translated into excess, strangeness and totality, elements that integrate the romantic aesthetics. Excess and disorder are expressed in the disfigurement of The man who laughs, an image of chaos and accumulation of masses, but “a force that moves”. That text has a unique tone, and its contemporary filmic and graphic novel re-readings are marked by extemporaneous romantic elements, so that they relate to French romanticism in its mutability and multiplicity of senses through words, traces and images.
