Hernández Adrián An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright by Kadji Amin 2009 Abstract This dissertation explores the concept of agential abjection through Jean Genet’s involvement with and writings about the struggles of disenfranchised and pathologized peoples. Following Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler has argued that modern subjectivity requires the production of a domain of abjected beings denied subjecthood and forced to live "unlivable" lives. "Agencies of Abjection" brings these feminist theories of abjection to bear on multiple coordinates of social difference by exploring forms of abjection linked to sexuality, criminality, colonialism, and racialization. Situating Genet within an archive that includes the writings of former inmates of penal colonies, Francophone intellectuals, and Black Panther Party members, I analyze both the historical forces that produce abjection and the collective forms of agency that emerge from subaltern social forms.

  • "A Study of Three Plays by Jean Genet: the Maids, the Balcony, the Blacks"
    Shifting Paradigms in Culture: "A Study of Three Plays by Jean Genet: The Maids, The Balcony, The Blacks" Department of English and Modern European Languages Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi 2005 Payal Khanna The purpose of this dissertation is two fold. Firstly, it looks at the ways in which Genet's plays question the accepted social positions and point towards the need for a radical social change. Secondly, this dissertation also looks at Genet's understanding of theatre to underline the social contradictions through this medium. The thesis studies through a carefully worked out methodology the dynamic relationship between theatre and its viewers. This dissertation analyses the works of Genet to locate what have been identified in the argument as points of subversion. In this world of growing multiculturalism where terms like globalization have become a part of our daily life Genet's works are a case in point. Genet's plays are placed in a matrix that is positioned outside the margins of society from where they question the normative standards that govern social function. They create an alternative construct to interpret critically the normalizing tendency of society that actually glosses over the social contradictions. The thesis studies the features of both the constructs-that of society and the space outside it, and the relation that Genet's plays evolves between them. The propensity of a society that is divided both on the basis of class and gender is towards privileging groups that are powerful. Therefore the entire social rubric is structured in a way that takes into consideration the needs of such groups only.

LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE DES VOIX NOUVEAUTÉS DES AUTEUR-E-S Élise Boghossian lit Au royaume de l’espoir il n’y a pas d’hiver À écouter le récit bouleversant de sa vie et de ses combats, à force de courage et de ténacité, on sait que rien ne peut arrêter Élise Boghossian, petite-fille de réfugiés arméniens. Elle a 30 ans, trois enfants et un cabinet d’acupuncture à Paris quand, en 2011, elle décide de partir en Jordanie et au nord de l’Irak pour soigner, avec ses seules aiguilles, les populations civiles et les réfugiés vic- times de la guerre. Elle dit : « Tout me comble à Paris. Ma famille, ma vie professionnelle, mes amis, et pourtant quelque chose manque D.R. © pour donner du relief à tout ça. Un engagement, un travail à accom- plir sur un terrain où il n’y aurait rien, où je serais forcément utile ». Malgré les premières réticences qu’elle rencontre, elle réussit très vite à convaincre soignants et blessés des bienfaits de son savoir car les résultats sont là : l’acupuncture apaise les douleurs post opératoires, celles des amputés, des grands brûlés et celles des enfants. Élise transforme alors son combat solitaire en une mission humanitaire pérenne. Des milliers de familles sont réduites à l’état de mendicité, les femmes et les filles sont vendues comme esclaves sexuelles... Grâce à des médecins, infirmiers, pharmaciens, chauffeurs qu’elle recrute parmi les réfugiés, son camion-dispensaire et son « bus des femmes » partent à la rencontre de ces populations en souffrance.

  • Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet's Olympia to Matisse
    Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet’s Olympia to Matisse, Bearden and Beyond Denise M. Murrell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Denise M. Murrell All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet’s Olympia to Matisse, Bearden and Beyond Denise M. Murrell During the 1860s in Paris, Edouard Manet and his circle transformed the style and content of art to reflect an emerging modernity in the social, political and economic life of the city. Manet’s Olympia (1863) was foundational to the new manner of painting that captured the changing realities of modern life in Paris. One readily observable development of the period was the emergence of a small but highly visible population of free blacks in the city, just fifteen years after the second and final French abolition of territorial slavery in 1848. The discourse around Olympia has centered almost exclusively on one of the two figures depicted: the eponymous prostitute whose portrayal constitutes a radical revision of conventional images of the courtesan. This dissertation will attempt to provide a sustained art-historical treatment of the second figure, the prostitute’s black maid, posed by a model whose name, as recorded by Manet, was Laure. It will first seek to establish that the maid figure of Olympia, in the context of precedent and Manet’s other images of Laure, can be seen as a focal point of interest, and as a representation of the complex racial dimension of modern life in post-abolition Paris.
