Calvary Or Catastrophe? French Catholicism's First World War Abstract CALVARY OR CATASTROPHE? FRENCH CATHOLICISM’S FIRST WORLD WAR Arabella L. Hobbs Professor Gerald Prince The battlefield crucifixes that lined the Western Front powerfully connected industrialized warfare with the Christian past. This elision of the bloody corporeality of the crucifixion with the bodily suffering wrought by industrial warfare forged a connection between religious belief and modern reality that lies at the heart of my dissertation. Through the poignancy of Christ’s suffering, French Catholics found an explanatory tool for the devastation of the Great War, affirming that the blood of ther F ench dead would soon blossom in rich harvest. This dissertation argues that the story of French Catholicism and the Great War uncovers a complex and often dissonant understanding of the conflict that has become obscured in the uniform narrative of disillusionment and vain sacrifice ot emerge in the last century. Considering the thought to emerge from the French renouveau catholique from 1910 up to 1920, I argue that far from symbolizing the modernist era of nihilism, the war in fact created meaning in a world that had lost touch with its God. At the same time, my reasoning is sensitive to the manner in which the application of Catholic dogma to modern war constituted a form of resistance to the encroaching secularization of French society following the separation of the French state and the Catholic Church in 1905. Through a survey of the major authors associated with the French Catholic revival – Ernest Psichari, Francois Mauriac, L�on Bloy, Paul Claudel and Henri Massis to name but a few – this dissertation aims to recover a different account of the war in the French tradition than the now canonical visions of the conflict inspired by the novels of Barbusse, Cendrars and C�line. In particular, this study aims to question why the major players of the French Catholic revival have fallen so dramatically from the canon given the radical nature of their postulations at the beginning of the twentieth century. More broadly, it seeks to probe the persistence of the vision of the Great War held in the collective imaginary, asking why this myth repeatedly rejects alternative narratives of the conflict. In foregrounding the resurgence of faith, I suggest that French Catholicism allows us to climb out of the trenches to see an altogether different war.

I am greatly indebted to my adviser, Professor Gerald Prince for his expert guidance throughout the dissertation process and I am a much more careful and accurate scholar thanks to his comments. His seminar on the early twentieth century novel in France, in particular the session devoted to François Mauriac, was the original inspiration for this dissertation. I am also grateful to my committee members Professors Lydie Moudileno and Kevin Brownlee for their enthusiasm at the proposal stage. Without Lydie’s input in particular, I would never have crossed the Atlantic to study at the University of Pennsylvania. I must also acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my mother and sister who have provided constant emotional, intellectual and financial support at every stage of the process. My mother’s novel the Idle Hill of Summer, based on the First World War diaries of our ancestor and Catholic convert Ralph Hamilton, Master of Belhaven & Stenton, became the guiding inspiration during the two solitary years in which I wrote the dissertation itself. Finally, I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my godfather Olivier Ferrer who died tragically earlier this year. Both French and a Catholic, his unswerving championing of my intellectual curiosity from a very young age was one of the reasons I undertook doctoral research in the first place. This accomplishment is as much his as it is mine. AH (June 2016) iii CALVARY OR CATASTROPHE? FRENCH CATHOLICISM’S FIRST WORLD WAR Arabella L.

Colossians 1:24 The Great War, which killed ten million people and wounded thirty-six million others, was, we are often told, catastrophic. However, faced with this instance of massive bloodletting, those who affirmed a “moral order” fundamentally rooted in a triune God whose presence is proclaimed in and through the Gospel had little difficulty in justifying this hecatomb. Instead of bemoaning the war as evidence of Nietzsche’s famous dictum that God was dead, they saw the war as a real-life Calvary in which God’s presence was writ large. Some years earlier, registering discontent with the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of positivism, a group of French Catholic intellectuals such as J.K Huysmans and Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly had turned their gaze away from fin-de-siècle decadence towards Catholicism’s rendering of mortality and suffering. Chief amongst their proclamations was the necessity of anguish to fully

  • 37Th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University 27-29 October 2011, Philadelphia, PA
    Law & Order / La loi & l’ordre: 37th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University 27-29 October 2011, Philadelphia, PA ABSTRACTS Helen Abbott, Bangor University Bending the laws of poetry in Baudelaire, Banville and Mallarmé This paper sets out to analyse how poets in the mid-to-late nineteenth century in France distort, manipulate or completely abolish accepted rules of poetry. It will focus on contemporary poetic treatises in conjunction with what poets say about their poetry. Banville’s own treatise will form a pivotal text in my analysis, but I will start with a close-reading of Baudelaire’s octosyllabic sonnet, ‘Épigraphe pour un Livre condamné’, published in 1861, in the wake of his 1857 trial for Les Fleurs du Mal. As a text which signals how Baudelaire bends the laws of poetry, he also outlines how he expects his readers to be capable of grasping the clever subtlety that his manipulations entail. What critical and poetic texts of this era reveal, then, is that prescriptive legislation surrounding poetic endeavours is not done away with altogether, but the emphasis shifts so that a new aesthetic criteria, the art of listening to poetry, takes centre stage in the debate over poetic validity and status. Like Baudelaire, Mallarmé is uneasy about explaining poetic techniques to the public, but when he does so, he uses legislative vocabulary, as his pivotal ‘Crise de vers’ text demonstrates. The influence of Banville’s prosodic theories on Mallarmé is made clear by his recognition that Banville provides an ideal example of how the alexandrine line can open itself up to greater flexibility, whilst not yet requiring a total dissolution of prosodic rules.

  • Paul Bourget Avant Et Après Le Disciple : Figures Du Professeur Et De L ’Élève Dans Mensonges Et L ’Étape
    Quêtes littéraires nº 9, 2019 https://doi.org/10.31743/ql.5011 Dominique Ancelet-Netter Institut catholique de Paris Paul Bourget avant et après Le Disciple : figures du professeur et de l ’élève dans Mensonges et L ’Étape « Que j ’ai de peine à finir Le Disciple ! », écrit Paul Bourget dans son journal intime, à la date du 11 mars 1889 (Bourget, Ms français-664, vue 33)1. Le Disciple a-t-il jamais été fini ? Ses thèmes se perpétuent dans toute l ’œuvre narrative de Bourget. Le rapport professeur/élève peut en particulier être appréhendé dans l ’écriture diariste et dans les romans. L ’abbé Taconet dans Mensonges, Joseph Monneron et Victor Ferrand dans L ’Étape, modèlent de nouveaux esprits et de jeunes âmes. Le mauvais maître du Disciple, Adrien Sixte, préfigure en creux, par son matérialisme, l’importance de l ’éducation catholique, dont Bourget fut un ardent défenseur, après sa conversion, le 27 juillet 1901. Dès sa parution, en 1889, Le Disciple provoqua une querelle entre Anatole France et Ferdinand Brunetière, sur les rôles de la science et de la morale dans la forma- tion des jeunes générations (Bourget, 2010, p. 31-36). Ce roman, dédié « à un jeune homme », présente les risques d ’une imitation irréfléchie d ’un maître scientiste et amo- ral par un disciple inconséquent. Il n ’est cependant pas le premier succès de Bourget, qui avait déjà publié plusieurs romans psychologiques et mondains, dont Mensonges en 1887. Quelques années plus tard, il écrivit un roman à thèse ou à « idées », L ’Étape, n Dominique Ancelet-Netter – maîtresse de conférences à l ’Institut catholique de Paris.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures.
