  • Amy S. Wyngaard TRANSLATING SADE
    Translating Sade Amy S. Wyngaard TRANSLATING SADE: THE GROVE PRESS EDITIONS, 1953–1968 n the last paragraph of their foreword to the 1965 Grove Press edition of IThe Complete Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings, the translators Richard Seaver and Austryn Wainhouse quote the marquis de Sade’s wish, expressed in his last will and testament, that acorns be scattered over his grave, “in order that, the spot become green again, and the copse grown back thick over it, the traces of my grave may disappear from the face of the earth, as I trust the memory of me shall fade out of the minds of men” (xiv). Seaver and Wainhouse, who believed in the importance of Sade’s writings and were deeply invested in their efforts to produce the frst unexpurgated American translations of his works, express doubt that this prophecy would ever come to pass. The success of the Grove Press translations, however, has in fact caused certain aspects of Sade’s (critical) history to be forgotten. Five decades after their original publication in the 1960s, and two decades after their reissue in the early 1990s, these once-controversial editions of Sade’s works can now be considered mainstream. Widely referenced and readily available, they are more or less an accepted part of the American literary landscape, with only their original prefatory materials left to bear witness to what was one of the most fraught and revolutionary moments in the history of American publishing, not to mention Sade studies. Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset saw the publication of Sade’s works as integral to his fght for the freedom of the press.

    A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Matthew Bridge All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge This doctoral dissertation looks at several readings and interpretations of the works of the Marquis de Sade, from the eighteenth century to the present. Ever since he was imprisoned under the Old Regime following highly publicized instances of physical and sexual abuse, Sade has remained a controversial figure who has been both condemned as a dangerous criminal and celebrated as an icon for artistic freedom. The most enduring aspect of his legacy has been a vast collection of obscene publications, characterized by detailed descriptions of sexual torture and murder, along with philosophical diatribes that offer theoretical justifications for the atrocities. Not surprisingly, Sade’s works have been subject to censorship almost from the beginning, leading to the author’s imprisonment under Napoleon and to the eventual trials of his mid-twentieth-century publishers in France and Japan. The following pages examine the reception of Sade’s works in relation to the legal concept of obscenity, which provides a consistent framework for textual interpretation from the 1790s to the present. I begin with a prelude discussing the 1956 trial of Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in order to situate the remainder of the dissertation within the context of how readers approached a body of work as quintessentially obscene as that of Sade.

  • Conspiracy Theories As Fiction: Kafka and Sade
    Munich Social Science Review, New Series, vol. 2 (2019) Conspiracy Theories as Fiction: Kafka and Sade Timo Airaksinen Department of Politics and Economics/Moral and Social Philosophy University of Helsinki [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, I study conspiracy theories as two novelists handle them: Kafka and Sade. Kafka’s depiction of guilt depends on anxiety that refers to nameless accusations. His protagonists may well assume that a conspiracy targets them in a way they can never understand. I explain the logic of the law that embodies such anxiety, in his novels The Trial and The Process. My second example is the Marquis de Sade who gives many examples of conspiracies on his major novels Justine and Juliette. I study two of them, first, the group of murderous monks in Justine and the Parisian secret society called Sodality in Juliette. Both are successful organizations and Sade helps us understand why this is so. I discuss some real life examples of conspiracies. Finally, I compare Kafka, Sade, and their viewpoints: Kafka’s is that of the victim and Sade’s that of the victor. Keywords: secret society, guilt, law, paranoia, crime, punishment “Guilt for what, she had no idea. Guilt is always to be assumed, maybe?

  • In Conversation with the Author
    Justine Ettler & Rebecca Johinke TEXT Vol 22 No 1 University of Sydney Justine Ettler and Rebecca Johinke A new audience for Justine Ettler’s The River Ophelia: In conversation with the author Abstract This article, in the form of a conversation between novelist Justine Ettler and literary and cultural studies scholar Rebecca Johinke, looks back at the reception of the Australian novel The River Ophelia in 1995. It also looks forward to speculate how audiences may read the novel in 2018 and beyond, given that in October 2017 it was re-released in e-book format with a new Author’s Note and Introduction (Ettler 2017a). The River Ophelia was a publishing sensation in Australia in the mid-90s as it describes sadistic and masochistic sex and domestic violence. Due to early reviews and the way it was marketed, it was labelled as ‘dirty realism’ or ‘grunge’. In this article, the authors argue for a re-appraisal of the text as a feminist parody and as a highly intertextual postmodern work. In and through their conversation, Johinke and Ettler reveal the extent to which genre confusion, and the question of what is and isn’t ‘real’ dominated the reception of the text at the time of its initial release, and how the intentional fallacy in cases where an author is conflated with a character can be adopted unselfconsciously, and indeed manipulated by, publishers and critics in the marketplace. In light of recent feminist activism around domestic violence and sexual abuse, such as the #MeToo campaign, the authors also discuss the depiction of domestic violence in The River Ophelia, and how certain representations of sex and female desire might play out in representations of abusive relationships.

  • Sadomasochistic Desire
    Chapter 10 Sadomasochistic Desire This paper attempts to promote the recognition of the sexualized social world of bdsm in philosophical and tropological perspective. bdsm and especially S/M is hard to understand in its own, characteristic motivational perspective because such negative experiences as, say, pain and humiliation indicate aver- sion rather than attraction; hence we ask what kind of desire is this supposed to be. To cause pain to others is typically condemned. To cosset pain and suf- fering is said to be perverse. My main point is, we can better understand bdsm via its typical language and rhetoric, especially by paying attention to the key role of linguistic metonymy when we discuss the riddles of pain and pleasure. I conclude that, within some reasonable limits, bdsm as a type of consensual kinky sex is not vulnerable to the standard forms of criticism.1 Kinky Sex Psychological, legal, and sociological issues are mainly outside the scope of this philosophical and tropological essay.2 Yet, the relevant problems of bdsm are begging for explanation. bdsm refers to (often organized) activities such as bondage, domination, discipline, submission, and sadomasochism.3 bdsm is what one may call a sexual diversion, “serious leisure,” and sometimes even a life-style.4 It is often practiced in clubs and other social venues where the performers and their audiences can enjoy the show. Of course, bdsm also takes place privately. It is important to distinguish between bdsm proper, 1 This paper contains partially rewritten parts of my paper “The Language of Pain: A Philo- sophical Study of BDSM,” sage Open 8 (2018), 1–9.

The Corinthian: The Journal of Student Research at Georgia College Nihilism and Dystopian Morality in the Marquis de Sade’s Justine Jennifer Hill Dr. Hedwig Fraunhofer Faculty Mentor What does not conform draws attention. For this reason the work of the Marquis de Sade has long held the world’s attention by excluding any sense of being bound by convention. His characters follow no religion, no mor- al code, and no law but their own pleasure—especially when it involves violence. The characters of Sade’s twist- ed literary world, and Sade himself as a historical figure, seem to have a blatant disregard for all propriety, whether seen through its original 18th century context or that of today. This contempt for the conventional, or indeed everything, has led certain scholars to suggest that Sade’s writing is openly nihilist (Attarian 2). Though biographi- cal evidence on the author might support this conclusion, Sade’s novel Justine, however, provides repeated instanc- es where the characters make bold universal statements about the human heart—the kind of statements typical of a moralist writer.
