When literary agents are viewed in terms of their transatlantic mediation between the United States and France, it becomes clear that they remain neglected figures not only in book history but also in cultural history more generally, in both national and transnational narratives. This essay proposes to contribute to the emerging historiography on agents and co-agents. It further suggests ways of articulating a historical perspective with economic and sociological approaches, drawing on the notions of sociabilite, lieux and milieux (places and milieus) as envisaged by French historians Michel Trebitsch and Christophe Prochasson, and engaging in the perspective of intellectual history, in which Anne Ollivier-Mellios’s work was grounded.

En mai 1957, une serie d’articles parus dans le magazine Life et nombre de grands journaux nationaux annoncent la « decouverte » de « champignons magiques » hallucinogenes par un couple d’aventuriers. Robert Gordon Wasson et Valentina Wasson racontent comment ils ont fait usage du champignon dans un village indigene, un recit qui intensifie le tourisme de la drogue au Mexique de meme que les ventes par correspondance de peyotl, une substance psychedelique aux effets similaires. Pour le couple, le champignon magique procure une experience transcendante qui n’est autre que le fondement pre-moderne de la religion globale. Rejetee par les universitaires, cette theorie suscite un tres vif interet aupres des journalistes et du grand public. Pour faire connaitre sa decouverte, R. Gordon Wasson mene une campagne comprenant des tournees de conferences, des expositions museales et de nombreux entretiens avec des journalistes. Cet article s’appuie sur les archives du couple, conservees a la Harvard University Herbaria, pour comprendre comment leur initiative a contribue a la proliferation de theories idiosyncratiques sur l’experience des drogues psychedeliques.
1957年5月,《生活》杂志和几家全国性报纸发表了一系列文章,宣布一对冒险家“发现”了致幻的“魔法蘑菇”。罗伯特·戈登·沃森(Robert Gordon Wasson)和瓦伦蒂娜·沃森(Valentina Wasson)讲述了他们如何在一个土著村庄使用这种蘑菇,这个故事加剧了墨西哥的毒品旅游,以及邮购peyotl(一种具有类似效果的致幻剂)。对这对夫妇来说,神奇的蘑菇提供了一种超然的体验,这正是全球宗教的前现代基础。这一理论被学者们拒绝,但却引起了记者和公众的极大兴趣。为了宣传他的发现,R. Gordon Wasson发起了一项活动,包括巡回会议、博物馆展览和对记者的多次采访。这篇文章借鉴了这对夫妇在哈佛大学草药学院的档案,以了解他们的倡议是如何促成了关于迷幻药物经验的特殊理论的扩散的。

La question fondamentale a laquelle cet article tâche de repondre concerne la nature de la relation que l’œuvre de Wallace entretient avec la notion de bonheur. L’hypothese principale est que la reponse a cette question est a chercher aupres d’un theme essentiel qui parcourt l’œuvre entiere de l’ecrivain, a savoir son rapport a la conscience. Pour ce faire, cet article se refere principalement a This Is Water, texte fondateur dans lequel Wallace fournit un condense de son rapport a la question de la conscience et qui devient la pierre angulaire de l’analyse de ce theme dans l’œuvre entiere. La methode d’investigation retenue propose un examen individuel des divers aspects de la conscience tels qu’ils sont enonces comme postulats theoriques dans This Is Water, puis par une illustration au travers d’exemples paradigmatiques issus de la production fictionnelle de l’auteur, plus precisement les quatre textes correspondant a sa periode de maturite.
本文试图回答的基本问题是华莱士的作品与幸福概念之间关系的本质。主要的假设是,这个问题的答案可以从贯穿作者整个作品的一个基本主题中找到,即他与意识的关系。为了做到这一点,本文主要参考了《这就是水》,华莱士在其中浓缩了他与意识问题的关系,并成为整个作品分析这一主题的基石。约束提出了个别审查的调查方法等方方面面的本来面目enonces意识理论假设中This Is Water),然后举例说明了通过fictionnelle生产成果的一个范例,作者更precisement四种文本对应于其原产品进行分类。

This article examines the way in which Laura , a short novel by Leonora Sansay published in 1809, associates the theme of the search for the founding happiness of the Young Republic to the dream, full of hope but doomed to failure, of conjugal bliss within a pastoral paradise. Sansay, in this little studied novel, uses the conventions of seduction novel and pastoral landscape around Philadelphia to question the validity of the social and physical boundaries that define a set of tensions between the human body and the natural world, and, finally, to question the possibility even for the young women of the nascent Republic to participate in the collective quest for happiness.
