Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Copyright by Meaghan Elizabeth Emery 2001 ABSTRACT Starting from the basis that identity, individual or communal, is a narrative construct, the following study attempts to uncover the ways in which Jewish, Beur, and Antillean narrative is informing French national identity. Identity construction involves the positioning of boundaries, geographical or psychological, and engenders divisions separating human entities. The Jew, the Arab, the black, among others, including the lower classes and women, have traditionally been posited as Other in French national discourse. However, today, in a culturally plural France, Jewish, Arab, and black citizens are challenging inherited notions through their writing, which gives them a voice from the privileged position of narrative subject. Though these new subjectivities have had to speak from within the confinement of stereotypes, their use of narrative strategies succeeds in breaking through traditional discourse and, in effect, transforms it. Through their testimony on the past, narration of the present, and projection into the future, the works I analyze, respectively Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and Martine Dugowson’s Mina Tannenbaim, Leila Sebbar’s Le Chinois vert d'Afrique and Azouz Begag’sLe Gone du Chaâba, and Maryse Condé’s Heremakhonon and Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco, are intrinsically concerned with the problematic of identity. Specifically, they engage in recovering the memory of the Shoah, integrating excluded ethnic subjects into the national space, and reconstructing the national idea toward a more pluralist vision, as opposed to France’s traditional policy of assimilation. Their unique practices of cross-cultural hybridization make manifest both the literary and social changes occurring within the French narrative and nation. Finally, the conclusion explores how these struggles for maintaining cultural specificity within France are reflected on the national level before American economic hegemony. In essence, government officials have adopted their discursive elements in order to defend the diversity of French culture and the vibrancy of its expression against the homogenizing pressures of globalization. The active protection of national culture through government patronage, however, is treading a fine line between reactionary cultural populism and Eurocentric elitism. Ultimately, the future vitality of the French nation may depend on how rigorously the State defends the multiple elements of its culture by fully liberating the voices expressing that diversity. Ill To Jean Sébastien, Alexandre, and Julien IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my appreciation to all of my teachers who have instilled in me their love for the languages, literatures, and cultures of the French-speaking world. I especially thank my adviser Jean-François Foumy for his unfailing encouragement, intellectual rigor, good humor, and patience. His enthusiastic support carried me through the arduous dissertation writing process. My gratitude further extends to Judith Mayne, John Conteh-Morgan, Danielle Marx-Scouras, and Karl is Racevskis, whose guidance and inspiration throughout my years at The Ohio State University specifically contributed to this project. I also wish to recognize the contributions of Anthony Allen, Lawrence Schehr, Shoggy Waryn, Jennifer Willging, Sébastien Hily, Fabienne Jouy, Pierre Pelletier, and many others here and abroad who have shared their advice and personal insights with me. I am deeply grateful to my family, my parents and sister, who have always taken active interest in my scholastic pursuits and without whom this accomplishment would not have been possible. O f course, I cannot neglect to mention the French, many of whom I have come to know and love, including my husband. My husband and our two sons bring joy and balance to my life and have buoyed me in my academic and creative endeavors. Thanks most of all to you.

    A 1940 self-portrait of Salomon (1917-1943), whose autobiographical work “Life? or Theatre?” is an early example of the graphic novel. Courtesy the Jewish Historical Museum © Charlotte Salomon Foundation n February, 1943, eight months before she was murdered in Auschwitz, the I German painter Charlotte Salomon killed her grandfather. Salomon’s grandparents, like many Jews, had !ed Germany in the mid-nineteen-thirties, with a stash of “morphine, opium, and Veronal” to use “when their money ran out.” But Salomon’s crime that morning was not a mercy killing to save the old man from the Nazis; this was entirely personal. It was Herr Doktor Lüdwig Grünwald, not “Herr Hitler,” who, Salomon wrote, “symbolized for me the people I had to resist.” And resist she did. She documented the event in real time, in a thirty-"ve-page letter, most of which has only recently come to light. “I knew where the poison was,” Salomon wrote. “It is acting as I write. Perhaps he is already dead now. Forgive me.” Salomon also describes how she drew a portrait of her grandfather as he expired in front of her, from the “Veronal omelette” she had cooked for him. The ink drawing of a distinguished, wizened man—his head slumped inside the collar of his bathrobe, his eyes closed, his mouth a thin slit nesting inside his voluminous beard—survives. Salomon’s letter is addressed, repeatedly, to her “beloved” Alfred Wolfsohn, for whom she created her work. He never received the missive. Nineteen pages of Salomon’s “confession,” as she called it, were concealed by her family for more than sixty years, the murder excised.

  • Staging Subjectivity Love and Loneliness in the Scene of Painting
    Text Matters, Volume 7, Number 7, 2017 DOI: 10.1515/texmat-2017-0007 Griselda Pollock University of Leeds Staging Subjectivity: Love and Loneliness in the Scene of Painting with Charlotte Salomon and Edvard Munch ABSTRACT This paper proposes a conversation between Charlotte Salomon (1917–43) and Edvard Munch that is premised on a reading of Charlotte Salomon’s monumental project of 784 paintings forming a single work Leben? oder Theater? (1941–42) as itself a reading of potentialities for painting, as a staging of subjectivity in the work of Edvard Munch, notably in his as- sembling paintings to form the Frieze of Life. Drawing on both Mieke Bal’s critical concept of “preposterous history” and my own project of “the virtual feminist museum” as a framework for tracing resonances that are never influences or descent in conventional art historical terms, this paper traces creative links between the serial paintings of these two art- ists across the shared thematic of loneliness and psychological extremity mediated by the legacy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Keywords: Edvard Munch, Charlotte Salomon, subjectivity, painting, loneliness, Friedrich Nietzsche.

There were trees and sky and sea. I saw nothing else. Only colours, paintbrush and you, and this. All people became too much for me.
