The Violence of Modernity
Author: Debarati Sanyal
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421429292
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.

Book Description
Neuf dieux gouvernaient jadis le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'une ultime trahison ne les mène à leur perte. Depuis, le monde se meurt et seul le retour des Dieux disparus pourra le sauver. Il y a de cela neuf cents ans, les Dragons des Trois Tempêtes, divinités du Chaos, tentèrent d'anéantir l'archipel de la Kundou. La seule solution pour sauver le pays fut de s'opposer aux Dragons, de les terrasser et de s'emparer de leurs pouvoirs. Depuis, cette puissance confère à la famille royale le droit de suzeraineté. Mais cette magie a un terrible prix, et le prince Nankyokukai est bien décidé à être le dernier à devoir le payer... même si pour cela il doit renoncer à tout espoir d'être avec l'homme qu'il a attendu toute sa vie.

"We Met in Paris"
Author: Joan E Howard
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826274048
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
Grace Frick introduced English-language readers all over the world to the distinguished French author Marguerite Yourcenar with her award-winning translation of Yourcenar’s novel Memoirs of Hadrian in 1954. European biographies of Yourcenar have often disparaged Frick and her relationship with Yourcenar, however. This work shows Frick as a person of substance in her own right, and paints a portrait of both women that is at once intimate and scrupulously documented. It contains a great deal of new information that will disrupt long-held beliefs about Yourcenar and may even shock some of her scholars and fans.
