Abstract:Fictional representations of the female concierge frequently underscore her negative attributes, above all her meddlesome discourse. The female concierge character in Georges Simenon's 1933 novel, Les fiançailles de M. Hire, however, provides an exception to the rule as local law authorities give credence to her word and base their investigation on her testimony. However, in two filmic adaptations of the novel—Duvivier's Panique (1946) and Patrice Leconte's Monsieur Hire (1989)—the female concierge character is practically absent. This article demonstrates how, from page to screen, the concierge's role is dissected, disembodied, and displaced in Duvivier's and Leconte's films, and finally reflects upon the significance of her silencing.

Abstract:Cet article s'intéresse à la façon dont l'auteure de Philippe écrit sur la naissance et la mort de son fils lorsque le savoir fait défaut. Selon notre hypothèse, chez Camille Laurens, la démarche consistant à « entendre le monde » en travaillant à partir de sources, c'est-à-dire en écrivant avec les « voix » que laissent percevoir différents documents—et, dans certains cas, contre elles—, lui permettrait d'appeler, implicitement ou explicitement, à la participation cognitive et affective du lectorat dans le processus de recherche tel qu'il est raconté en détail dans le récit. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, nous nous penchons d'abord sur le conflit entre le désir d'oubli chez les autres et le projet de Laurens d'enquêter sur la mort en question. Ensuite, nous étudions comment l'usage des sources contribue à l'écriture de Philippe. Enfin, nous analysons comment ce récit, ressemblant en partie à un texte informatif, permet à Laurens de « s'engage[r] dans une entreprise de vérité […] qui tient du dévoilement » et, ce faisant, d'avoir potentiellement un impact émotionnel sur les lecteurs et lectrices.

Abstract:While ideas about the Muse date from antiquity and have evolved over time, the concept of the male artist and his female muse has continually informed how creativity and inspiration are imagined and understood. This prevalent image of artistic creation—which problematizes the position of women as artists—was, however, visibly challenged by the increased number of female painters in nineteenth-century France. The growing presence of women artists on the cultural stage thus poses the question: when the artist is no longer automatically assumed to be male and the muse female, what is the status of the woman artist? In this article, McTurk-Starkie analyzes three key scenes involving mirrors, reflections, and painting in George Sand's Elle et lui (1859) in order to explore how Sand complicates assumed paradigms of the gaze between the painter and the painted figure. The article then examines the impact of the text's final act as one of self-portraiture; the protagonist Thérèse becomes l'artiste peinte par elle-même. By questioning the boundaries between self and other, and subject and object, Sand's Elle et Lui innovatively proposes alternative configurations of the relationship between artist, model, and canvas.
摘要:尽管关于缪斯女神的观念源远流长，并随着时间的推移而不断演变，但男性艺术家和他的女性缪斯女神的概念不断地影响着人们对创造力和灵感的想象和理解。然而，这种普遍存在的艺术创作形象——对女性作为艺术家的地位提出了质疑——受到了19世纪法国女性画家数量增加的明显挑战。越来越多的女性艺术家出现在文化舞台上，这就提出了一个问题:当艺术家不再自动地被认为是男性，缪斯不再被认为是女性时，女性艺术家的地位是什么?在这篇文章中，McTurk-Starkie分析了乔治·桑的《Elle et lui》(1859)中涉及镜子、倒影和绘画的三个关键场景，以探讨桑是如何使画家和被画人物之间的凝视范式复杂化的。然后，文章考察了文本作为自画像的最后行为的影响;主角thassimrise变成了l'artiste peinte par elle-même。通过质疑自我与他者、主体与客体之间的界限，Sand的《Elle et Lui》创造性地提出了艺术家、模特和画布之间关系的替代配置。

Abstract:This interview with French journalist Jean Chalon gives the reader a personal viewpoint of writer and salon hostess Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972). Barney's literary salon was iconic in expatriate Paris, spanning the years from 1909 to 1968. Chalon helps the reader to better understand the literary and social milieu that comprised Barney's world, as well as provides new information on her most intimate relationships. Chalon discusses her strained yet loving relationship with her father, who never accepted that she lived openly as a lesbian in Paris. In addition, Chalon also speaks about her friendship with literary giant Remy de Gourmont, as well as her lifelong relationship with artist Romaine Brooks and Janine Lahovary, Barney's last love. The interview is a testament to Natalie Barney herself, who cultivated friendships until the end and whose literary contributions are only now being reconsidered.
