Silverman Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies and Jewish Studies Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Thomas A. Hale Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of African, French, and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of French and Francophone Studies Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern European History Jennifer Boittin Assistant Professor of French, Francophone Studies and History and Josephine Berry Weiss Early Career Professor in the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Over the past several decades, the cultural phenomenon of the villages du livre has exploded throughout the Hexagon. Taking their cue from the original book town, Hay-on-Wye, in Wales, rural French communities once in danger of disappearing have reclaimed their economic future and their heritage. Founded in 1961, Hay-on-Wye has served as a model for other towns to establish a used book trade, organize literary festivals, and promote the practice of traditional book arts that include calligraphy, binding, paper-making, and printing. In the French villages du livre of Bécherel (Bretagne), Montolieu (Languedoc), Fontenoy-la-Joûte (Lorraine), Montmorillon (Poitou-Charentes), and La Charité-sur-Loire (Bourgogne), ancillary enterprises such as museums, bookstores, cafés, and small hotels now occupy buildings that had stood vacant for years.

    Lettre pédagogique TV5 /CAVILAM, octobre 2004, n°62 « DOUBLE JE », spécial Atlanta / Bernard Pivot A l’occasion du Congrès mondial des professeurs de français, qui s’est tenu au mois de juillet 2004 à Atlanta, Bernard Pivot a réalisé un florilège de son émission ''Double Je''. Tous ces entretiens sont disponibles en permanence sur le site de TV5 : http://www.TV5.org, dans la rubrique Enseignants. Ils sont écrivains, artistes, chanteurs, enseignants, architecte, créateur de mode, photographe, haut fonctionnaire ou étudiant et tous ont quelque chose en commun : ils ne sont pas d’origine française, mais ils parlent le français. Ils vivent au quotidien en deux ou plusieurs langues à cheval sur différentes cultures. Bernard Pivot, le journaliste littéraire, animateur, concepteur vedette d’émissions aussi célèbres qu’Apostrophes ou Bouillon de culture et aujourd’hui de Double Je les a rencontrés et leur a demandé de parler de leur expérience personnelle. Comment et pourquoi ont-ils appris le français ? Que pensent-ils de cette langue ? Quelles sont les relations entre leur langue maternelle et cette seconde langue, cette seconde personnalité ? La lettre pédagogique de ce mois-ci vous propose des exemples d’activités possibles à partir de ces portraits parfois émouvants, souvent drôles et étonnants. L’accès possible permanent aux documents sur le site de TV5 permet à toutes les personnes ayant accès à un centre de ressources ou à Internet de travailler hors des contraintes de temps habituelles.

French novelists, meanwhile, have increasingly turned to first person narratives; autobiographies and especially autofictions continue to dominate current publication lists. Equally concerned with identity questions, these same texts have often been accused of solipsism, and their authors described as narcissists of little talent. In this dissertation, I argue that the debates surrounding national identity and the problematic construction of a written personal identity are, in fact, intimately related.

The literary interview can be regarded as a hybrid genre for several reasons. First, it belongs to both This research on the literary interview is part of the Interuniversity Attraction Pole (IAP) project Literature and Media Innovation (LMI, lmi.arts.kuleuven.be/).

    Copyright by Audrey Doussot 2017 The Dissertation Committee for Audrey Doussot certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: MEDIATED AUTHORITY: PORTRAITS OF THE WRITER IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION FROM BAUDELAIRE TO BEIGBEDER Committee: Alexandra Wettlaufer, Supervisor Hervé Picherit Alisa Perren Lynn Wilkinson MEDIATED AUTHORITY: PORTRAITS OF THE WRITER IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION FROM BAUDELAIRE TO BEIGBEDER by Audrey Doussot, MA; PhD Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2017 Mediated Authority: Portraits of the Writer in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction from Baudelaire to Beigbeder Audrey Doussot, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2017 Supervisor: Alexandra Wettlaufer With the advent of what Charles Baudelaire called “a civilization of the image”, the interaction between literature and visual culture has intensified since the nineteenth century. Accordingly, the depiction of real literary figures in visual media like photography or the cinema has become more and more frequent, leading writers to take part, more or less voluntarily, in modern celebrity culture. Through the study of visual artefacts created around French writers between the 1850s and the present, this project seeks to examine the role of visual culture in the fashioning of writers’ artistic and social identities. The writers considered, Charles Baudelaire, Colette, Romain Gary and, to a lesser extent, Frédéric Beigbeder, lived through times when the world of visual media was undergoing major changes due to the advent of new technologies, respectively, photography, cinema and television.

While the most advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have bean used, the quality it heavily dependant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round Mack mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper le ft hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equaf"sections With a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
