J.-K. Huysmans
No full textA principio erat verbum. La position spirituelle et la situation littéraire d’un écrivain engoncé entre une fin de siècle matérialiste et un avant-siècle se prosternant devant l’idéologie du Progrès le condamne parfois à errer en une sorte d’interrègne, qui masque la modernité de son interrogation religieuse. Chez Huysmans, ce réseau de signes apparemment contraires désigne le lieu d’une interrogation essentielle. Celle-ci ne trouvera sa réponse qu’à partir du cycle de Durtal, tandis que son foyer demeurera sans cesse ardent jusqu’à la conversion de l’écrivain, en 1892, et au-delà. Loin d’être frappés de désuétude, le long cheminement spirituel et son point d’orgue, la déclaration de foi, rendent Huysmans plus proche de nous. Ses hésitations et ses atermoiements confèrent une sincérité douloureuse à son besoin d’absolu. Tout un pluriel d’interrogations trouvent une manière de réponse dans le cycle catholique (En route, La Cathédrale, L’Oblat), mais déjà, les états d’âme de des Esseintes laissent assez tôt entrevoir les états de l’âme, celle qui s’ouvre à l’éveil de la foi. Ce livre, tiré des travaux du colloque Joris-Karl Huysmans organisé à l’Institut catholique de Rennes le 15 décembre 2007, à l’occasion du centenaire de la mort de l’écrivain, exprime au sujet de Huysmans certaine nouveauté, relative à la seconde partie de la vie de l’écrivain. Soit qu’il s’agisse de projeter une lumière inédite sur quelques aspects choisis de la figure de l’homme et de l’œuvre dite catholique ; soit qu’il s’agisse de mettre au jour des aspects eux-mêmes moins connus, qui convergent vers l’image d’un Huysmans, homme de la synthèse

Writing and the rights of reality: usurpation and potentiality in Derrida, Plato, Nietzsche, and Beckett
No full textThe thesis critically evaluates Jacques Derrida's conferral of the rights of reality on writing, focussing on his theory of an arche-text in light of the speculative nature of this theory. The theory is initially considered in the context of Derrida's elucidation of the usurpatory status of writing within the Platonic and Nietzschean texts. This consideration reveals an admission of writing's usurpatory status by both writers while at the same time demonstrating their awareness of the intrinsically speculative nature of this view, the significance of writing lying in its ability to exteriorise the radically indeterminate status of consciousness m relation to reality rather than its ability to displace consciousness or reality The analyses, therefore, not only bring the Derridean hypothesis of a repressive or phonocentric metaphysical episteme into question but also exhibit the historical and philosophical role of potentiality in relation to writing, writing's ultimate significance lying in its capacity to exteriorise our existence as a mode of potentiality. Accordingly, in the second half of the thesis the Derridean theory of writing is countered with a specifically Aristotelian theory of the text as it is exhibited in the prose of Samuel Beckett, an author whose significance lies in his close alignment with Derridean theory within contemporary criticism. It is demonstrated that this identification has obviated an awareness of the significance of potentiality within the Beckettian text, his work consequently being appraised in the previously neglected context of Aristotelian metaphysics

This document is a letter to Mr. Drazin, President of the Industrial Committee of Jersey Homesteads, from Samuel Nisnevitz, Chairman of the Wage Planning Committee.

Reasonable working wages were discussed as well. The letter also includes the wages that these workers agreed upon
