Abstract:

Abstract The Education of Henry Adams and The Degradation of the Democratic Dogma reject the anthropocentric view of scientific history and its implied theme of human progress. In Darwin, Haeckel, the Curies, and other scientists Adams found a model for the study of history within the fabric of nature. Adams's “dynamic theory of history” argues for a wholistic view of history and nature.

Abstract:

Abstract The Education of Henry Adams owes its cultural cachet, in part, to Adams’ elaboration of a dichotomy that has pitted religion against science and technology. Though Western ideologies of modernity have viewed religion in rather negative terms, the current revival of religiosity in the postist context (post-modern, post-communist, post-colonial, post-human) invites a reconsideration of the role of religious belief, practice and objects/symbols in the current society. This article discusses Henry Adams’s dichotomy of the Virgin and the Dynamo, and recontextualizes it from a post-human perspective. It argues that the return of religiosity or spirituality, in its multiple forms, is an ethical stance that signals a cultural need for the feminine values of care, solidarity, affection and affiliation.

Abstract:

Du periple effectue par henry adams en 1890 dans le pacifique sud en compagnie de son ami john la farge, l'escale tahitienne constitue certainement l'etape la plus importante. Sa rencontre avec les dignitaires indigenes et notamment la derniere cheffesse du clan des teva a genere les memoires de ariitaimai, oeuvre en apparence autobiographique qui occupe une place particuliere dans la vie aussi bien que dans la carriere litteraire de l'ecrivain americain.

His encounter with the local chiefs and espacially the last member of the great teva clan, the chieftess ariitaimai, led to the writing of the memoirs of ariitaimai, an apparently autobiographical work. More than a mere entertainment, the work initially called memoirs of marautaaroa, last queen of tahiti, then, memoirs of ariitaimai, marama of eimeo, teriirere of tooarai, teriinui of tahiti, teriitua i amo, contains a great number of important ideas adams was to develop in his works written after the travel to the south seas. The memoirs of ariitaimai thus appears as a prelude to the education as well as an essential landmark in the evolution of the writer's thought

Abstract:

La période 1960 – 1990 a été agitée et féconde aux États-Unis malgré l’échec du projet de Grande Société et de lutte contre la pauvreté du président L.B. Johnson. L’Amérique a profité des retombées de sa domination économique et militaire pour financer l’éducation, le logement (G.I. Bill) ainsi que les arts (N.E.A.). De 1960 à 1990 la photographie est entrée massivement à l’université, dans les musées et dans le marché de l’art. Le paysage a toujours été un genre artistique privilégié aux États-Unis, de la peinture du dix-neuvième siècle à la photographie depuis son invention qui coïncide avec la découvertes de nouveaux territoires qui crée le pays. Le médium a documenté le développement territorial du pays puis s’est affirmé sur la scène de la photographie créative occidentale. Les années considérées vont voir la photographie créative américaine passer d’une période « romantique » tournée vers l’abstraction et le monde intérieur de l’artiste, conséquence des persécutions politiques de l’immédiat après-guerre, vers une réflexion ontologique et expérimentale, pour finalement traiter de problèmes de société tout en restant connectée aux réflexions esthétiques et philosophiques communes aux autres arts. Au sortir des années 1980, la photographie américaine de paysage, celle des grands espaces mais également celle des espaces humanisés, urbanisés, domine la scène internationale inspirant un renouveau du genre en Europe, au Canada, au Japon,…. Lancé par une exposition alors jugée mineure en 1975, le phénomène New Topographics est devenu planétaire et perdure. Ces quinze dernières années, de nombreuses expositions des paysagistes américains de cette période ont circulé à travers le monde, phénomène révélateur de leur rôle dans notre culture occidentalo – planétaire ainsi que pour l’histoire du médium<br>During the 1960 – 1990 period, in spite of the psychological and economical fall-outs of the various wars (Cold War, Korea and Vietnam ) undermining L.B. Johnson’s hopes and plans for a Great Society and his War on Poverty, the American government used its world supremacy and the derived wealth acquired in the wake of W.W. II (the USA was the only western country whose industrial production was impacted positively) to finance popular housing, adult education (G.I. Bill), and the arts (N.E.A.). During those years photography crashed the doors of academia, museum and art institutions, and entered the art market. Landscape has always been a major genre in the American visual arts, from the paintings of the nineteenth century (the Hudson River School, the Luminists) to photography. An interesting synchronicity can be observed between the birth, growth and coming of age of both the medium and the country. Landscape photography participated in the creation of an American identity. A century later, during what we can now call the Golden Age of American landscape photography from New Topographics in the 1970s to the advent of color photography in the 1980s, photographers turned their lenses back toward the east at the damage done and the state of the landscape left behind. The production of wall-size prints followed, competing for attention with paintings on the walls of museums and galleries that welcome them. Since the Culture Wars of the late 1980s and the 1990s, and the defunding of the arts that ensued, the rest of the world has caught up, influenced by the traveling exhibitions and publications of that generation of American photographers

Abstract:

The dissertation investigates whether there is a place of refuge for women characters within and/or beyond American literary texts written by men around the turn of the twentieth century. Besides major and minor texts of leading American men of letters, Henry Adams and Henry James, the texts also include two Dutch novels, Multatuli's Max Havelaar and Frederik van Eeden's Van de koele meren des doods. In examining these texts, the dissertation seeks for a male feminist practice that does not immediately turn into a male practice of appropriation and violence, I adopt a feminist practice of exposing gender representations in canonical male-authored texts, giving particular attention to the results of their representations for women. The question I ask of them is also a question I ask of my critical practice: is a genuine representation of female characters by male authors possible? The metaphors of feminism as a "no man's land" and American literature as a "territorial battle" connect issues central in Adams, James, Multatuli, and Van Eeden. The inclusion of the Dutch texts "within" American literature takes place not only on the basis of intertextual links with Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, but also because their preoccupation with gender resembles gender systems in texts of Henry Adams and Henry James. All these male authors share an interest in the representation of women in their literary works. Henry Adams argues in The Education that there is "no refuge" for modern American women except "such as the male created for himself." After analyzing the Dutch novels, James's The Wings of the Dove, and Adams's Esther, his South Seas letters, and The Education of Henry Adams, I locate these dubious moments of refuge for women within male representation in strategies of idealizations of female alterity, self-reflexivity, exposure of the cultural construction of gender, and silence. Whether these places of refuge for women within the borders of the male texts go beyond already staked out territories into "no man's land" is a question at the heart of the dissertation.

Abstract:

Stefan Zweig had an extraordinary gift for mirroring the complexity of humankind and the human mind, and was undoubtedly one of the most translated authors in the 1930s, but he is still considered a “poor cousin” in the academic world. Indeed, both his life and his work have been consistently viewed through the events of history, something neither caused nor endorsed by him, with the result that his worldview and the general perception of that view often have been misunderstood. In the 1950s and 1960s, scholars focused on the author’s use of genres and language, as well as his political views during the Second World War, rather than on the analysis of his literary texts. Although recent research points to the importance of Zweig’s humanistic worldview, which insists on viewing all human action equally, the poor image of the author caused by his earlier reception still prevails. This thesis focusses on Zweig’s autobiographical work Die Welt von Gestern: Erinnerungen eines Europäers (1942) as an adaptation of both culture and history. This dissertation demonstrates, how through the subject perception of the “I,” “life writing” becomes “history writing,” dismantling a cultural and political world. Not only does this “I” hold multiple functions, but each function illuminates a different fragment of an event in search of a “truth.” Zweig’s autobiography incorporates elements from other genres, which enables us to see him in part as a postmodern author. To illustrate the game-like use of Zweig’s subjective worldview, Philippe Lejeune’s “autobiographical pact,” Mieke Bal’s concept of focalization, and Walter Benjamin’s essay “Der Erzähler” will form the framework for a linguistic, narratological, and philosophical analysis. In order to show that autobiographical writing resides in the tradition of alternative history, rather than in the simple enumeration of facts, Henry Adams’ The Education of Henry Adams (1918) has been woven into the analysis of Zweig’s text, as an example of an autobiography from a historian’s point of view, who, although motivated by different circumstances, exposes a similar philosophy of history to Zweig’s. Besides Zweig’s autobiography this dissertation will also include other works of the author, such as Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam (1934), Maria Stuart (1935) und “Schachnovelle“ (1942) as part of the analysis in order to show the reflexion of history and life in the author’s biographical work as well.<br>Thesis (Ph.D, German) -- Queen's University, 2011-08-29 09:09:58.611

Abstract:

The sense of loss present in the works of Henry Adams and Mark Twain presents a curious parallel. That two men of such different backgrounds and temperaments should reach nearly identical conclusions about American society and the universe at the end of the nineteenth century creates a strong impression that their despair was not entirely personal but also had a basis in their observation of historical changes in the world around them Moving chronologically, this study seeks to understand the struggle of the two writers to make sense of their changing world. Nurtured in the Adams family with a typical patrician sensibility, Adams early decided to wash his hands of politics. Dissatisfied and disillusioned with the life after the Civil War, Adams began wandering around the world. The panic of 1893 made Adams see his own suffering in relation to a cosmic scheme. He found a 'meaning' of the Middle Ages among French cathedrals, but he also realized that the unity of the Virgin necessarily belonged to the past. Consciously depicting his as a representative American experience, Adams wrote the Education in order to record the failure of everything in America Mark Twain achieved the American dream in the midst of changes after the Civil War. To him writing was one of the means of making money, and even after Huckleberry Finn, he never had enough confidence in himself as writer. Beginning with the panic of 1893, Twain was hard hit by a series of personal tragedies, and he started his long wandering through the world. Because he lacked a sense of direction and dedication in his art, Twain left most of his later work unfinished and unpublished, but in his confusion and despair, he also left works that are true records of the travails of the human spirit in a rapidly changing world. The works of Adams and Twain in their last years show their faithful recording of the intellectual climate of their age and their distinctive responses to their sense of loss<br>acase@tulane.edu

Abstract:

Chapter 3 examines how the author of The Education of Henry Adams confronted the developments in party politics, immigration, and technology that he believed had fragmented American democracy at the turn of the twentieth century. Henry Adams described education as the intellectual or social pursuits whereby we find ourselves and our place among others, pursuits that require a guiding authority figure or frame. Narrating his life as a failed attempt to find himself in Washington politics, journalism, and teaching, Adams revealed how modernity had outmoded an old form of education through the authority of republican statesmen. Inspired by advancements in biology and physics, Adams looked to the sciences for a new authority through which to understand himself and the nation, leading him to life writing. Adams sought to usher in a new American better fit to modernity than he was, insisting that those who survive him would need to seek new education.
