ABSTRACT This introduction presents an overview of key critical developments arising in nineteenth-century French and francophone studies over the two decades since the inception of Dix-neuf, and then provides synopses of the articles in the special issue it introduces in terms of their engagement with and advancement of those developments. It identifies further areas of inquiry that fall within the scope of research by dix-neuviémistes: those already existing which are sufficiently broad and significant to warrant special issues of their own, and those newly emerging that offer new opportunities for scholars in this constantly evolving and vibrant disciplinary field.

ABSTRACT The ‘historical turn' has been particularly fruitful and enabling in nineteenth-century French studies, and methodological approaches that might broadly be described as ‘historicist’ remain dominant within the subfield. Yet these approaches inevitably privilege certain types of literary critical thinking over others, and may even obscure some of the ways in which literary texts have, or can be given, meaning. They also tend to posit the audience of work in nineteenth-century French studies as being composed primarily of other specialists. I suggest that ‘taking a break’ from historicism might facilitate new conversations about nineteenth-century French literature, with new interlocutors.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the topic of minor intimacies or attachments in the work of Berthe Morisot (1841–95). By analysing three inter-connected areas in Morisot, namely the absorbed self, female friendship and the material history of painting, and by comparing the works studied with other well-known Impressionist paintings by Manet and Renoir, and how each area impacts upon spectatorship, this article shows the importance of intimacy as a critical tool with which to gain a more complete understanding of modern life and art in late nineteenth-century France.

ABSTRACT La question de l’intimité dans la vie privée et ma méthode d’analyse des espaces m’ont conduite à proposer dans cet article une généalogie de l’habitation en France et un tableau des différents modes de vie urbains. Cet article historique étudie ces pratiques et les sensibilités, non seulement par l’analyse des discours savants ou non, des témoignages, de la littérature, mais aussi par celle des traces matérielles concrètes et de leurs transformations, ainsi que par la succession des plans d’habitations publiés dans les traités d’architectures à différentes périodes.

ABSTRACT This article uses intimacy and architecture as a way to tell the lesser-known story of men and the domestic in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Belgium. Drawing upon little-known interior design and architecture magazines, domestic manuals and photographs, I highlight how male architects and critics of architecture contributed to the making of domesticity. I show how ‘intimacy’ was used as a deceptive concept to frame the home as a restful refuge, as well as a catalyst for creative experimentation.

ABSTRACT Une tension paradoxale existe dans les imaginaires romanesques du second XIXe siècle entre la négociation d’une pudeur féminine révélant l’obsession de l’époque pour préserver l'intimité, et le voyeurisme de textes qui ne cessent de dévoiler cette intimité pourtant sans cesse mise en lumière. Si le dévoilement du corps féminin est revendiqué dans beaucoup de textes critiques, il est beaucoup plus problématique dans les romans, où la plupart des mentions du corps féminins sont voilées d’une gaze périphrastique moins pudique qu’érotique.

ABSTRACT In the nineteenth century, paintings of sleeping females proliferated, yet unlike painters of mythological sleep scenes of previous centuries, painters such as Courbet, Bonnard and Vuillard set an intimate scene, leaving the (usually female) sleeper alone with the viewer in interiors, wrapping her up in layers of sheets or heavy dresses. This article reveals how several painters (from about 1850–1910) used the sleeping figure to examine a visual impossibility: the representation of interiority.

ABSTRACT This introductory article gives an overview of the history and culture of intimacy in nineteenth-century art, architecture and literature, and discusses key theories and concepts. It explains how through a re-imagination of the potentialities of ‘intimacy’, nineteenth-century writers, artists and architects expressed the lived realities and the philosophical and aesthetic concerns of a rapidly changing society. It raises key questions surrounding the complexities, contradictions and paradoxes of intimacy in the nineteenth century and reveal its relevance as an analytical and conceptual tool in order to explore the hidden spaces of French and Belgian modernity.

ABSTRACT This article considers the Paris-province divide, which has meaningfully shaped the way one imagines the French territory, and which Les Français peints par eux-mêmes problematizes during the first half of the nineteenth century by crafting in-between spaces where traits usually attributed to provincials seep into Parisians, or where Parisians get ‘provincialized'. This leads to the transformation of ‘Parisian' and ‘provincial’ into personal rather than geographical characteristics. In particular, I show that entries concerned with the question of travel and tourism postulate that in confronting Parisian and provincial Français, physical circulation had the potential to alter feelings of geographical belonging.
本文考虑了巴黎-省的划分,这一划分有意义地塑造了人们对法国领土的想象方式,并且在19世纪上半叶,Les francaais peint par eux-mêmes通过制造通常被认为是外省人的特征渗透到巴黎人身上的中间空间,或者巴黎人被“省化”。这导致了“巴黎人”和“地方”的转变,变成了个人特征,而不是地理特征。我特别指出,关于旅行和旅游问题的条目假设,在面对巴黎和法国各省时,物质流通有可能改变地理归属的感觉。

ABSTRACT A genuine investment in animal ethics pervades Emile Zola's literary production at all stages of his career, occupying a central yet often overlooked space in his moral and aesthetic thought. Situating Zola's interest in animality alongside his engagement with the life sciences of his day, the present paper examines the parameters of Zola's animal ethics as manifested in his article ‘L'amour des bêtes' (Le Figaro, March 24, 1896), with an eye towards their elaboration in selections from his broader oeuvre. Central to Zola’s animal ethics, I argue, is a materialist Human-Animal-Machine trichotomy whose three parts he treats as radically interchangeable.
