Narratives of Collaboration in Post-War France, 1944 – 1974
No full textArguing that literary narratives (whether fictional or autobiographical) can provide an important way in which the past is accessed and understood, this thesis uses such narratives to compare and contrast cultural representations of collaboration with the Gaullist political accounts described in Henry Rousso’s Le Syndrome de Vichy. Following the introduction, chapter one examines the perception and characteristics of collaboration, providing a broad analysis of collaboration and collaborators which frames later chapters. There follows a discussion of the generic boundaries between history, autobiography and fiction, showing that novels can contain many of the attributes conventionally ascribed to historical texts, as well as having a freedom of form which allows them to examine and relate subjects not allowed to historical accounts. Next, selected novels (by Marcel Aymé, Jean-Louis Bory, Marie Chaix, Céline, Jean-Louis Curtis, Jean Dutourd, Pascal Jardin, Patrick Modiano, Saint-Loup, and Michel Tournier) are analysed at length to examine how specific forms of collaboration have been understood, and how they subvert Rousso’s schema of repression or marginalisation of the phenomenon. Novels written in the immediate aftermath of the war actually gave a convincing representation of collaboration and the everyday wartime experience, contrasting with the ‘official’ story which sought to forget collaboration. Representations of intellectual and cultural collaboration show that, contrary to de Gaulle’s attempts to portray France as a nation of resisters, high-profile figures from these circles offered a more persuasive alternative to this view. This is also shown to be the case for depictions of military and paramilitary collaboration, which openly describe armed and violent collaboration, challenging and contrasting with the Gaullist representation of mass resistance supported by the civil population. Finally, familial memories are used to revaluate the mode rétro in light of earlier chapters. Although this phenomenon found innovative ways to view the war, it did not represent a wholly new, or more open, account, and was subject to its own repressions and distortions

Golden Fleece and its feather : the chronicle of Jean Lefèvre de Saint-Rémy
No full textCe que nous appelons la Chronique (1408-1436) de Jean Lefèvre de Saint-Rémy (v.1396-1468) est une des sources les plus utilisées pour cerner l'histoire des Ducs de Bourgogne de la dynastie Valois, particulièrement les principats de Jean sans Peur et de Philippe le Bon. L'oeuvre historiographique décrit la guerre civile entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons de 1408 à 1435, en plus de quelques relations originales concernant la campagne d'Azincourt de 1415 vue du côté des Anglais ou encore les fêtes relatives aux noces de Philippe de Bourgogne et d'Isabelle de Portugal à Bruges, en janvier 1430. C'est en tant que roi d'armes de la Toison d'or que Jean Lefèvre a élaboré son oeuvre, prenant sa documentation depuis la copie de plusieurs sources narratives dont la plus importante est celle d'Enguerrant de Monstrelet mais également à partir de son témoignage oculaire, de ses enquêtes auprès de l'aristocratie bourguignonne ou encore des échanges avec les différents historiens contemporains évoluant au sein de la cour ducale. Le milieu bourguignon a influencé très largement cet auteur, celui-ci prenant comme type d'écriture celui des "Mémoires" composés par différents laïcs de son entourage. L'objectif de ses écrits historiques, traitant de manière clairement partiale les événements guerriers ou mondains, se situe dans la tradition encomiastique vis-à-vis du pouvoir à qui il doit ses missions, ses revenus et sa situation. En ce sens, nous retrouvons là une similitude avec les autres hérauts auteurs d'oeuvres historiques de la fin du Moyen Age, dont la sauvegarde de la fama et des revendications du maître reste la principale cause d'écriture.The Chronicle (1408-1436) of Jean Lefèvre of Saint-Rémy (v.1396-1468) is one of sources the most used to understand the history of the Dukes of Burgundy from the dynasty Valois, particularly Princedom of John the Fearless and of Philip The Good. The historiographical work describes the civil war between Armagnac and Burgundians from 1408 until 1435, besides some original relations concerning the campaign of Azincourt of 1415 or the wedding of Philippe de Bourgogne and Isabelle of Portugal in Bruges, in January 1430. Jean Lefèvre developed his work as "Toison d'or" King of Arms (Golden Fleece chilvaric order's herald), taking his documentation from the copy of several narrative books, the most important of which are the one of Enguerrand of Monstrelet, but also from its eye testimony, from its inquiries with the Burgundians aristocracy or exchanges with the various contemporary historians evolving within the ducal courtyard. The Burgundian court influenced very widely this author, this one fascinating as type of writing that of the Reports consisted by various laymen of its circle of acquaintances. The objective of its historic papers, handling in a clearly partial way the warlike or worldly events, it situated in the encomiastic tradition towards the power to whom he owes his missions. We find a similarity with the other heralds authors of historic works of the end of the Middle Ages there, among which the protection of the fama of the Prince, which stays the main cause of writing
Genève, Bibliothèque de Genève, Ms. fr. 179 : Jean d’Auton, Epistre d’Hector au roy
No full textIn 1511, the Benedictine Jean d\u27Auton (around 1466-1528), chronicler at the court of Louis XII, initiated a contest to write fictional letters to the king. For this contest, he wrote the Epistre d\u27Hector au roy, which was answered, among others, by Jean Lemaire de Belges with his Epistre du roy Loys à Hector. This Geneva manuscript begins with a full-page illustration, executed by an artist named Maître des Entrées, active in Lyon. It depicts Hector presenting a book to a satyr in front of an army of soldiers in armor, some of whom are crowned with the poets’ laurel wreath. The numerous references to antiquity, textual as well as visual, are typical for the humanist milieu of Lyon, which included the owner of this manuscript, Jean Sala, half-brother of the famous author and antiquities enthusiast Pierre Sala.Online Since: 2019-10-1
The German Occupation in recent French fiction : an analysis of the literary “mode retro”
No full textThis thesis attempts to analyse and characterise the mode rétro, the remarkable renewal of interest in the German Occupation of France, which is coloured by an extensive re-evaluation of the period's significance. An introduction places this fashion in its literary, social and historical context, revealing how, from 1940 to 1969, a collective and predominantly Gaullist 'myth' of the Resistance became established, with the result that the national response to invasion was accepted to be one of wide-spread heroism and revolt. Part I studies the reaction to such résistancialisme, showing how this orthodox interpretation of events was undermined and, for many, discredited, and offering explanations of the timing and direction of the new view. Part II focuses on the fiction, memoirs, autobiographies and biographies of the younger authors, those who have no direct adult experience of the années noires. It is suggested that their obvious obsession with absent parent-figures reflects their awareness that the past has been misrepresented and their heritage rendered problematic. Their sole means of escape from this predicament, their only source of emotional relief is seen to lie in the creation of a personal account of the early 1940s running contrary to the prevalent orthodoxy, the fabrication of a 'counter-myth'. It is thus the notion of myth which links the various sections of the survey, and so gives the thesis its overall unity
The Influence of Hegelianism on the French Philosophy of the 20th Century: The Theories by Alexandre Kojève and Jean Hyppolite
No full textThe article attempts to reconstruct the influence of Hegelianism on the French
intellectual milieu of the 1930s–60s represented by its leading figures. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that French philosophy is often associated with the idea of overcoming Hegel, without taking into account his influence, including on anti-Hegelians. To address this issue, the author turns to the theories by Alexandre Kojève and Jean Hyppolite, as well as their role in the formation of four famous philosophers. The first part of the article examines Kojève’s anthropological interpretation of Hegel and its influence on Georges Bataille and Jacques Lacan. It demonstrates that each of them developed his own anthropology starting from the themes that were in the focus of their teacher: negation, desire, and the struggle for recognition. They build their discourse around the analysis of the phenomenon of scarcity and the power of negativity in human existence. At the same time, they intend to move beyond Hegel and Kojève, discarding the idea of the end of history. Georges Bataille does this by appealing to the data of ethnology, and Jacques Lacan by developing his own concept of psychoanalysis. The second part of the article deals with the ontological interpretation of Hegel developed by Jean Hyppolite, which influenced Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault. In his commentaries on Hegel, Hyppolite criticized Kojève’s subjectivism and shifted the focus from the individual to the history of the concept and language. His followers also try to overcome anthropology and humanism within the framework of their own philosophical projects – Marxism in the case of Louis Althusser and Foucault’s theory of power-knowledge. Both thinkers started from the idea of a process without a subject and the critique of essentialism developed by their teacher. Along with this, they also use his concepts to turn them against Hegel’s determinism and teleologism. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that it was Hegelianism that anticipated some of the provisions of structuralism. It is concluded that Hegelianism was a prevailing condition for the emergence of the idea of overcoming Hegel in France
