This article will reveal that the tragic characters’ unconscious wants, beliefs and desires have a direct influence on their behaviour and their interactions and contribute to the unfolding of the tragic plot in Racine’s Phèdre. This work uses Eric Berne’s transactional analysis to explore the psychoanalytical dimension of Phèdre’s behaviour towards Hippolyte in order to go beyond Roland Barthes’s interpretations of this dynamic as a ‘rapport de force’. Hence, the development of the tragic action within the play and implicitly Hippolyte’s demise becomes the composite result of the characters’ unconscious needs, desires and beliefs, which influence their decisions, actions and interactions.

This article examines several motets composed to celebrate Saint Louis (Louis IX) in late seventeenth-century France. As praise of Saint Louis overlapped with that of Louis XIV, these pieces offer insights into the interplay between the French baroque sacred repertoire and royal encomium. In their texts and music, the motets reflect shifts linked not just to the ceremonial contexts for which they were written but also to wider political developments. In particular, the move from ahistorical presentations of a triumphant Louis IX in the 1660s and 1670s to a portrayal of the crusader king’s fortitude in captivity and defeat later in the reign reflected the changing context of Louis XIV’s wars. By presenting a new view on the political resonances of these works, the article shows the value of sacred music as a source for historians of royal representation under the Sun King.

Louise Keralio-Robert began publishing translations, novels, history, and a collection of women’s works in the decade prior to the French Revolution. She was a republican journalist during its initial stages and then, after a period of obscurity, returned to publishing translations and novels at the end of the first decade of the nineteenth century. This article offers an overview of the works produced during these three periods of her literary endeavour and defends her against the charge of having been ‘une pionnière du républicanisme sexiste’. It argues that Keralio-Robert sees certain traditional feminine characteristics as valuable antidotes to pre- and post-revolutionary fanaticism and that she proposes that an ideally virtuous character will combine ‘masculine’ greatness of heart and firmness of spirit with ‘feminine’ sweetness, modesty, and charity.
Louise Keralio Robert在法国大革命前十年开始出版翻译、小说、历史和女性作品集。她在最初阶段是一名共和党记者，在经历了一段默默无闻的时期后，于19世纪第一个十年末重返出版翻译和小说。本文概述了她在这三个时期的文学创作，并为她辩护，称她是“公共性别歧视者”。它认为，Keralio Robert认为某些传统女性特征是革命前后狂热的宝贵解药，她认为理想的贤惠性格将把“男性”的伟大心灵和坚定精神与“女性”的甜美、谦逊和慈善结合在一起。

This article aims to examine the treatment of friendship in Gabrielle Suchon's Traité de la morale et la politique (1693) and Du célibat volontaire (1700). In the Traité, friendship is cast in political terms and is represented as the key foundational element of a healthy society. Specifically, a feminization of friendship and a politicization of sociability and conversation allow Suchon to carve out a space for women at the centre of a society founded on egalitarian civic friendship. In Du célibat, Suchon expounds her conception of true friendship, particularly for those who choose a celibate life, and casts freedom as a key constituent element. Through her vision of friendship and conversation as hallmarks of a civil society, Suchon casts her neutralistes within a civil space, constructed and envisaged between the public and private, and so procures for voluntarily celibate women the validity of a space of classical origins.

I trace key arguments of Jean–Jacques Rousseau's political philosophy to Louise Dupin's Ouvrage sur les femmes to reveal that early modern feminist thought contributed directly to social contract theory. Rousseau applied Dupin's mockery of the marriage contract to dismiss as fraudulent the political contract that previous natural law philosophers had imagined between subjects and sovereign. He then made mutually exclusive property the foundation of the republican social contract, just as Dupin had stipulated separately owned property as the condition of equality in marriage. Yet Rousseau rejected the feminist content of Dupin's arguments, despite incorporating her strategies. Paradoxically, while Dupin, a monarchist, construed marriage along the egalitarian lines of a friendship based on ‘la douceur du commerce', the republican Rousseau invested men with the douceur of the absolute sovereign, masking the contractual character of marriage by positing women’s subordination to men as a matter of passionate attachment.

Marie de Gournay’s defense of figurative language and her attack on the purified language championed by the neoclassical Parisian establishment is a political as well as aesthetic polemic. The neoclassical ideal of clear, concise speech not only impoverishes language through its animus toward the use of metaphor; it assaults human subjectivity by suppressing the expression of rare emotional states through idiosyncratic symbols. The effort to impose a uniform, chastened national language is condemned as a species of cultural hegemony, in which individual and regional variations on the vernacular are suppressed.
玛丽·德·古尔奈（Marie de Gournay）对具象语言的辩护和对新古典主义巴黎当权派所倡导的净化语言的攻击是一场政治和美学的论战。清晰简洁的新古典主义理想不仅通过其对隐喻使用的敌意使语言变得贫乏；它通过特殊的符号来抑制稀有情感状态的表达，从而攻击人的主体性。强加统一、严格的民族语言的努力被谴责为一种文化霸权，在这种霸权中，方言的个人和地区差异被压制。

It may seem perverse in 2021 to be accentuating the urgent need for a fuller appraisal of women philosophers in early modern France, but it remains a sad truth that the significant philosophical writing undertaken by women in France during the time period covered by this Journal has still not received the attention that it deserves. It comes as a particular delight, therefore, to welcome this special issue, guest edited by Derval Conroy, which makes an important contribution to the growing scholarly interest in this field. All too often significant women thinkers in their own right have been recast as subservient to or as convenient soundingboards for male philosophers: one only has to read the correspondence of Elisabeth of Bohemia with Descartes or Jacqueline Pascal’s letters to her brother Blaise to see the strength with which the female correspondents hold their own philosophical positions in contradistinction to those of their more celebrated male counterparts. In this special issue, it is good, therefore, to have writers like Marie de Gournay and Louise Dupin, who have often been consigned to the shadows of Montaigne and Jean-Jacques Rousseau respectively, reconsidered on their own terms. Other important philosophical thinkers, such as Gabrielle Suchon, are discussed in detail in this issue, and the extraordinarily rich texts of less immediately familiar writers such as Suzanne de Nervèze and Louise Keralio-Robert are given due prominence also. The editor and all contributors are to be warmly thanked for bringing together a series of essays that be will of great value to readers from many different disciplines. early modern french studies, Vol. 43 No. 1, July 2021, 1

Toute la philosophie de Gournay est morale. Elle recherche le critère de l'excellence quel que soit le thème dont elle traite. Si l'idéal aristotélicien de mesure semble servir de modèle à sa morale des vertus, il est en réalité inopérant. Il ne tient pas compte de la vertu de certains excès d'une part. Il n'est pas capable d'expliquer la proximité extrême entre le bien et le mal d'autre part. Il faut donc un regard supérieur, déniaisé selon le vocable libertin présent chez Gournay, pour distinguer entre le bien et le mal. Cette distinction dépend non de la vertu elle-même mais de celle ou celui qui l'exerce. Selon la passion qui l'anime, selon l'intelligence qui la guide, une même action peut être dite vertueuse ou vicieuse. C'est parce que la frontière entre bien et mal est ténue que l'âme haute a besoin d'éprouver sa vertu dans le miroir d'une autre âme haute.

Très diversifiés sur le plan générique, les quelque 36 imprimés que signe Suzanne de Nervèze entre 1636 et 1662 forment une production unifiée par une posture auctoriale de moraliste qui embrasse la spiritualité et la philosophie. Cette posture est particulièrement perceptible dans le tout dernier livre de Nervèze, Les Pensées chrestiennes et morales (1662), qui réunit une vingtaine de textes déclinant la réflexion morale d’abord sur un mode spirituel, avant de s’engager davantage du côté d’une critique des moeurs. Reprenant la matière et la forme de plusieurs écrits antérieurs où l’autrice se prononce tant sur la conduite de l’âme que sur celle de l’État, ce recueil confirme une disposition polygraphique qui semble associée à un désir de démontrer sa compétence de femme de lettres, comme le révèle l’attention portée tant à la forme des discours qu’à leur déploiement.

Gabrielle Suchon’s reliance on religious texts and authorities to support and legitimise the arguments she makes in her two texts Traité de la morale et de la politique (1693) and Du célibat volontaire (1700) has sometimes been perceived as running contrary to its defence of female freedom. Suchon’s use of religious texts will be examined here as a corner stone of her attack on male hegemony and crucial to her argument, which rests in large part on the distinction between divine law and social customs. The article will focus specifically on how Suchon uses the paradoxes and contradictions found in her extensive corpus of references to advance the notion that the subjugation of women is a political strategy to support male power rather than the result of a natural and divinely ordained hierarchy of genders.
加布里埃尔•苏雄（Gabrielle Suchon）依靠宗教文本和权威来支持和合法化她在两部文本《士气与政治》（Traitéde la comethic et de la politique，1693年）和《杜丽巴特·沃隆泰雷》（Du célibat volontaire，1700年）中提出的论点，有时被认为与捍卫女性自由背道而驰。苏重对宗教文本的使用将在这里被视为她攻击男性霸权的基石，对她的论点至关重要，她的论点在很大程度上取决于神圣法律和社会习俗之间的区别。这篇文章将特别关注Suchon如何利用她大量参考文献中发现的悖论和矛盾来推进这样一种观点，即征服女性是一种支持男性权力的政治策略，而不是自然和神圣的性别等级制度的结果。

The article will focus specifically on how Suchon uses the paradoxes and contradictions found in her extensive corpus of references to advance the notion that the subjugation of women is a political strategy to support male power rather than the result of a natural and divinely ordained hierarchy of genders.","PeriodicalId":40652,"journal":{"name":"Early Modern French Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"70 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20563035.2021.1924009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49412313","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}
