    Forbidden artefacts: memories of Bluebeard in the 19th century

    Romance and 19th Century Studies (SERD) workshop

    Tandis que plusieurs auteurs du XIXe enjoignent leurs contemporains à revoir leur jugement littéraire et moral sur Barbe-Bleue, le personnage est, dans le même temps, de plus en plus fréquemment cité dans les factums et les chroniques judiciaires. Dans les affaires de mœurs conjugales, plaideurs et chroniqueurs usent notamment de cette figure comme d’une clé de défense efficace. Pour incriminer ou disculper un homme accusé de violences domestiques, le nom de Barbe-Bleue se révèle en effet un piège à conviction redoutable, faisant appel à une histoire et à des représentations connues de tous, propres à gagner le public à la cause défendue. La judiciarisation de ce personnage de conte réfléchit ainsi les discussions juridiques qui absorbent le XIXe siècle, lequel débat avec passion des droits à la vengeance privée, des lois civiles, et de leurs limites. Barbe-Bleue aurait-il tué ses femmes si le démariage eût existé ? C’est ainsi que quelques années plus tard le cabinet de Barbe-Bleue devient la métaphore de l’asservissement des femmes mariées.

    Creating Characters, Inventing Lives: The Art of the Self II

    Vth international Sympnosium of the international Network for Alternative Academia

    This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the narrative construction of experience and self, the lessons we can derive from the creative process and identifying how productive it is beyond the boundaries of the work and creation itself. Regardless of our awareness, our understanding of our selves, we have always been the product of creation – the result of the playful and subversive blurring of the boundaries between fiction and life, between self and other, between fantasy and reality. Who we are – how we tell the story of our lives – has always traversed the divides between artistic invention, personal reflection and historic fact; being as much the product of the creative process as the characters depicted by artists in their works.

    International Network for Alternative Academia – invites you to participate to the First International Symposium: Speed, Silence and Solitude. This trans-disciplinary project seeks to explore how new technologies are re-calibrating our notion of time, re-configuring our ideas of space and, as a result, how they are re-envisioning our understanding of the self and its relation to others.
