But while most critics have interpreted the theatricality of Stendhal’s fictional characters and that of his own authorial performance as an accidental lapse into the sort of hypocrisy he spends his œuvre simultaneously denouncing, this dissertation argues that his naturalism was not an inadvertent “comédie de sincérité,” as Valéry suggested, but rather a carefully constructed “Theater of Authenticity.” This theater comprises three performances of authenticity: the social, the private, and the written. To each performance corresponds one part of the Stendhalian self, which simultaneously inhabits three roles: actor, spectator, and narrator. Before these performances were staged in his novels and short stories, they were both ii rehearsed and intellectually scrutinized in Stendhal’s para-fictional writings—his “nonfiction,” autobiographies, and private journals. I contend that these genres should be read as an atelier du roman—the literary space in which Stendhal worked out the règles du Je of the authentic self, and how these rules are most authentically transformed into literature. Unearthing this process of intellectualization dispels many Shibboleths of Stendhal’s naturalism as well as of the concept of authenticity itself—namely, that both are predicated on the suspension of rational, analytical faculties in order to liberate the raw passion required to fuel spontaneity and improvisation. While authenticity has been understood to be a problem of modern subjectivity, I argue that it is first and foremost a crisis of literacy: a problem of self-consciousness in the relationship between subject and language, which may be traced back to the invention of the phonetic alphabet in Ancient Greece. This self- consciousness is a narcissism of the word rather than of the image, and the source of Stendhal’s anxiety of authenticity is his fear of indulging in what he famously called “cette effroyable quantité de Je et de Moi.” As such, Stendhal’s para-fiction should also be read as an atelier du romancier, for they provide a narrative to the author’s overcoming of this anxiety: after decoding the rules of authenticity, Beyle himself had to perform them in order to become Stendhal, the novelist. iii The dissertation of Hadley Theadora Suter is approved.

Thanks to the faculty and staff of the UCLA French Department for their help and support throughout my graduate studies.

Comprising three performances—the social, the private, and the written—this “theater” functions according to specific rules, whose theorization I trace across Stendhal’s para-fictional writings to suggest that these genres should be read not only as an atelier du roman, but as an atelier du romancier as well. The rules that govern the theater of authenticity, as performed by Stendhal’s fictional characters, are the same that Beyle himself adopted and executed in order to become a novelist. For as long as we have been writing about Stendhal, we have been doing so— deliberately or not—through the lens of le naturel, which inevitably breaks down into a question of sincerity and/or authenticity. This tendency dates back to the peak years of Stendhal’s career. Take, for example, Balzac’s 1840 letter to Stendhal on La Chartreuse de Parme, which classifies mid-nineteenth-century French novelists into two schools of creation: there are those who belong to Littérature des images, and those others (Stendhal included) who in their repudiation of “[les] grandes images” and “[les] vastes spectacles de la nature” belong instead to the school of Littérature à idées, which favors “la concision” and “l’action.”1 Though he does not use the terms themselves, Balzac’s identification of Stendhal’s action- based narrative in opposition to imagery-based lyricism designates sincerity and authenticity as the defining essence of the author’s work at the same time that it reveals what, exactly, these concepts are understood to mean. Sincerity, from sine cera or without wax,2 is predicated on the repudiation of style; authenticity, from the Greek authentês, is a system of valuation 1 Honoré de Balzac, Études sur Stendhal et la Chartreuse de Parme. Suivies de la réponse de Stendhal (Genève: Slatkine Reprints, 1997), 24. 2 As noted by Lionel Trilling, Sincerity and Authenticity (Cambridge, Massachusetts and London, England: Harvard University Press, 1971), 114. 2 privileging action.3 Essence over aesthetic; referent over representation; the thing over the portrayal of the thing. This is, in its simplest form, what we mean when we talk about le naturel in the works of Stendhal. Yet this same opposition, articulated

  • Augustine and Rousseau on the Politics of Confession
    Augustine and Rousseau on the Politics of Confession by Taylor Putnam A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Taylor Putnam Abstract This thesis looks at the widely acknowledged but largely unexplored relationship between Augustine’s Confessions and Rousseau’s Confessions. In particular, it argues that Rousseau’s text demonstrates an indebtedness to both Augustine’s treatment of time within eternity and the political figure of the Christian preacher. By first comparing their competing interpretations of original sin as told in Genesis and then tracing those interpretations through the autobiographical narratives of each text, it is argued that Augustine and Rousseau both offer their lives as examples of their respective understandings of human nature. Further still, Rousseau’s attempt to supplant Augustine’s autobiography with his own sees the Augustinian preacher reformulated into the figure of the solitary walker. As a result, what was a politics of the will restrained by the temporal horizon of man becomes unleashed as the imposition of the timeless imagination. i Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Newell for his willingness to have me as a graduate student and for supervising my thesis. He generously provided me with the opportunity to pursue this education and I will be forever thankful for it. I would also like to thank Professor Darby for being my second reader and, more importantly, for his unwavering support throughout my degree. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents who in their wisdom gave me the freedom to fail and demystified what is required to learn.

  • Phl 656: the Subject of Politics—Jean Jacques Rousseau Winter and Spring Quarters, 2015 Peg Birmingham
    PHL 656: THE SUBJECT OF POLITICS—JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU WINTER AND SPRING QUARTERS, 2015 PEG BIRMINGHAM Office: Clifton, Suite 150.20 Telephone: 325-7266 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Fridays, 1:30-2:30 and by appointment “Rousseau…was perhaps the first thinker of community, or more exactly, the first to experience the question of society as an uneasiness directed toward the community, and as the consciousness of a (perhaps irreparable) rupture in this community.” (Jean-Luc Nancy, The Inoperable Community) COURSE OBJECTIVES This course (which continues through spring quarter) will examine several works of Jean- Jacques Rousseau’s, including Discourse on the Arts and Sciences, Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, On the Origin of Languages, Emile, and The Social Contract, in an attempt to grasp Rousseau’s understanding of the subject of politics in the double sense of the nature of the political and the nature of political subjectivity. Of particular concern will be Rousseau’s account of the move from the amour de soi to the amour proper wherein the complex relations between nature and culture, the individual and the political, reason and desire, and morality and freedom come into play. Understanding this movement of desire is central to understanding Rousseau’s political project insofar as he claims that the perversion of the amour-propre underlies all political and social disorder, leading to the corruption and violence of both the individual and society. In other words, it is the perversion of the play of recognition and desire that gives way to the most horrible states of violence.

  • Rousseau, Amour Propre, and Intellectual Celebrity
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PhilPapers Rousseau, Amour Propre, and Intellectual Celebrity Michael Locke McLendon California State University, Los Angeles With the publication of the First Discourse, Rousseau initiated a famous debate over the social value of the arts and sciences. As this debate developed, however, it transformed into a question of the value of the intellectuals as a social class and touched upon questions of identity formation. While the philosophes were lobbying to become a new cultural aristocracy, Rousseau believed the ideological glorification of intellectual talent demeaned the peasants and working classes. This essay argues that amour propre, as put forth in the Second Discourse, was in part designed to address this concern and is an attempt to highlight the dangers of making talent the measure of a human. hile amour propre is often associated with Given the widespread usage of amour propre,itis Rousseau, it is not unique to him.

Women, and men too, are being called to attend to the changes that are needed now, to align with their heart callings, to do their own deep work and to take it back to their relationships, communities, and workplace, to form networks and circles of connection, to see that we are really a microcosm of Carolyn Rivers the macrocosm—our evolution is at the heart of planetary evolution. Together, we are pioneering an Age of Wisdom. It is a time of great evolutionary shift, when the Feminine impulse is coming into balance with the Masculine and bringing with it a radical wisdom of the heart. It has the potential to attune us to what we already know inside, to a guidance that continually sources us with new possibilities and aligns us with a sense of dynamic purpose. Old patterns that no longer serve us, patterns of domination, aggression, greed, and control are now beginning to be overturned, patterns that have created the crisis we are now in.

    ABSTRACT YOU MY HONEYBEE, I’M YOUR FUNKY BUTT by Jeremy J. Miller The following is a collection of love stories, not stories of “traditional love”—the characters often have no conception of what love is supposed to be—but of love on the fringes, or love that acknowledges the unimagined possibilities of identity. The author attempts to locate unexpected acts of love: among giants, between a disillusioned collegiate and a middle-aged fish cook, between long-lost relatives, and between a transvestite angel and her beleaguered policeman.

  • The CONFESSIONS in WISCONSIN STUDENT CONFERENCE
    WELCOME to the CONFESSIONS in WISCONSIN STUDENT CONFERENCE Confessions in Wisconsin is the tenth installment in the Great World Texts program sponsored by the Center for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Today, we are delighted to welcome students from eighteen high schools around the state who have read Confessions, the autobiography of eighteenth-century philosopher and political theorist Jean- Jacques Rousseau. Great World Texts supports Wisconsin high school teachers and students in the effort to engage with important works of world literature that otherwise would not have a place in their classrooms. 800 students have participated in this year’s program. Nearly 50 of Wisconsin’s finest teachers join us today. These dedicated teachers have introduced their students to the complex historical, political, and cultural issues that emerge in the autobiography. In September and February, they came to the UW-Madison campus for intensive preparatory colloquia. We thank them for teaching world literature in Wisconsin classrooms, and applaud them for the impressive work of their students. We are especially honored to welcome our keynote speaker, Danielle S. Allen (Institute for Advanced Study), to Wisconsin. Students will have the unique opportunity to join in A Conversation with Danielle S. Allen at 11am. UW-Madison faculty and their students also are part of today’s events, and will participate in the Parisian Salon, a discussion forum for high school students. Today’s program will conclude with a “scratch” theatre performance coordinated by Jen Plants, the Carl Djerassi Playwriting Fellow in the Department of English at UW-Madison. Throughout the day, students who have analyzed and discussed Confessions in their schools will have the opportunity to connect with their peers from across the state, as well as members of the University of Wisconsin community.
