Anne Ullmo. Edith Wharton. La conscience entravée.
No full textDans l’ouvrage intitulé Edith Wharton. La conscience entravée, Anne Ullmo s’attache à présenter l’ambivalence de l’écrivain qui oscille entre nostalgie et iconoclasme. Son premier chapitre analyse cette opposition en montrant comment Wharton, qui tente de recomposer les fragments d’un monde disparu à travers le processus même d’écriture, célèbre tout en la craignant la force destructrice des parvenus. A la notion d’étouffement la romancière oppose celle de mouvement, incarnée par ces « boucan..

Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa

No full textL’image parlerait-elle directement à l’imaginaire ? Ou la fascination qu’elle exerce ne vient-elle pas de ce qu’elle n’est justement ni tout à fait naturelle, ni tout à fait symbolique mais directement en prise avec le sémantique ? Comment le détour pictural s’exprime-t-il ? Chacun des six auteurs s’attache ainsi à se demander dans quelle mesure les textes « changent l’image qui les traverse en discours ». De James Cowper Powys à James Ellroy en passant par A.S. Byatt, John Piper et Salman Rushdie… Littérature, peinture, cinéma… L’image se donne ici à lire, nous invitant à une réflexion sur les mécanismes de la création.

Phosphor in Dreamland de Rikki Ducornet ou la poétique du détour
No full textPhosphor in Dreamland epitomizes Rikki Ducornet 's conception of plot as a “bright web. ” To the postmodern idea of fiction as an infinite process of mind, she adds fascination with engendering which she explores on different levels. We propose to show to what extent the novel, with its countless ramifications and organic efflorescence of style, may be construed as a Baroque performance.Phosphor in Dreamland illustre particulièrement bien la conception de l’intrigue comme «bright web » telle que la défend Rikki Ducornet dans ses remarques théoriques. A l’idée postmoderne de la fiction comme déroulement infini de l’activité cérébrale, s’ajoute, chez la romancière, une fascination pour l’engendrement, notion qu’elle explore à différents niveaux. Cet article sera l’occasion de nous demander dans quelle mesure ce roman, avec ses multiples ramifications et son style efflorescent, ne pourrait être défini en termes de «performance baroque ».Michel-Ullmo Anne.

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
