{"title":"Diaphanous bodies: projections of ecstasy, insolence, and yearning in <i>Les États et Empires du Soleil</i> by Cyrano de Bergerac","authors":"Daniel J. Worden, Caitlin Facello, Gracey Greco, Scarlett Holton","doi":"10.1080/20563035.2023.2264926","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20563035.2023.2264926","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractIn Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac’s (1619–55) tale of a voyage to the sun, Les États et Empires du Soleil, a cosmic traveller’s physical body, as well as his light-propelled spacecraft, undergo eerie transformations. After the vehicle shines like enamel and gold in blazing sun rays, it fades to transparency. Meanwhile, the narrator’s body becomes diaphanous, revealing inner organs that gleam in hues of scarlet, vermillion, and garnet. This article develops a close reading of this passage. The authors analyse the passage’s narrative descriptions, first alongside Neoplatonic metaphors of saintly bodies as prisms for divine light, then in relation to early modern discourse about optics, magnetism, and anatomy, and finally as burlesque allusions to an infant’s conception and birth. At length, the authors suggest that these descriptions can inspire feelings of ecstasy, insolence, and yearning in readers, and that this array of sentiments can facilitate an experience of freeing the imagination.KEYWORDS: Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619–55)États et Empires du Soleilfictionnarrationimagerytransparencyprojection Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 S.

Men who desired men understood the methods and hazards of solicitation in the Luxembourg and Tuileries gardens, where the police deployed decoys to entrap them. Records of arrest demonstrate continuity over three decades as well as evolution in practices of surveillance. In 1748–49, agents interrogated not only the men they arrested but also the men these men mentioned, who named others, almost none of whom ended up in prison. We still do not know why the police prioritized information over imprisonment at this time because we have no documentation about administrative deliberations. Thanks to archival inquiry, however, we can now follow the steps that preceded the shift.","PeriodicalId":40652,"journal":{"name":"Early Modern French Studies","volume":"45 1","pages":"199 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45084425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that, in Nietzsche’s view, La Rochefoucauld’s perspicacity in detecting moral psychology is crystallized both in the form of maxim and the messages derived from psychological observation that are conveyed in the maxims. It contends that the readers’ reactions to these maxims also render their passions and desires tangible and intelligible for La Rochefoucauld’s and Nietzsche’s observations of their psyche. Furthermore, by exploring Nietzsche’s contrasting assessments of La Rochefoucauld’s maxims, we can also illuminate his own theory of moral psychology.","PeriodicalId":40652,"journal":{"name":"Early Modern French Studies","volume":"45 1","pages":"150 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60044427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
