Full textJean-jacques rousseau masochist: this obviousness is often neglected, sometimes denied. However, masochism is one of the foundamental bases of rousseau's psychism, and jean-jacques himself, in the first book of the confessions has recognized, the most clearly possible, his love for submission. We have, at first, studied this confession, its stages, its content, its intentions. Next, we have tried to build up the genesis of rousseau's masochism, underlining what seemed, out of truisms of psychonalysis, to be the key of this perversion: a conflict with the law, as a natural consequence of a missed insertion in the symbolical order; then, this need of a law, of an order, over the pleasure. We have used sacher-masoch and other instances of masochism as to bolster our demonstration. We had then to answer thid question: is not rousseau's work marked by masochism? it is easy to see that jean-jacques's regressive philosophy is not stranger to his perversion, and that all his work expresses a conflict with the law (social law. . . ), with the symbolical order. Here is the reason of the quest of a virgin world, without any order traces, of the quest of primitivity of the original age. . .

Full textThe reason why so many books were written on Jean-Jacques Rousseau is that this author has many facets : he commenced by writing poetry, comedies and tales. His tone can be that of intimate confidences or that of satirical tracts. Rousseau is both a political writer and a novelist, sometimes in a single book. But he was criticized by the encyclopaedists who presented him as a false man : he wrote les confessions and les dialogues in order to exculpalte himself in the eyes of posterity. Indeed psychoanalysts consider his case as an example of persecution mania. His political thinking is paradoxical : in discours sur l'inegalite or in le contrat social, he was revolutionary before the term existed, but in la nouvelle heloise, clarens utopia is rather conservative and paternalistic. Is there an unity lying hidden in this variety ? An answer to this question is given in the present work : the reason why Rousseau's works are diverse is that rousseau himself was a diverse, split person, and this splitting results from a lack of unity in the representation of his own body. According to the present analysis, Rousseau has indeed not a single body, but rather four bodies : a female body (while he is a male person), a childish body (that he wants to keep for life), a body plagued by illness but also persecuted by mankind as a whole, and finally a natural body, whose inclinations are only half expressed by Rousseau : these inclinations would lead to an indecisive homosexuality. We call this homosexuality indecisive because it is not borne out by a pract

Full textThis research takes its position in the line of research on happiness in Rousseau, which goes from Robert Mauzi to Michel Delon. Encompassing this acquired knowledge, it sets out to prolong the analysis of it and to take into account the autobiographical, moral, ethical, and political work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This thesis probes the coherence of this recurring theme and confronts the multiple facets of it disseminated in the work. There exists in the work a dynamic of happiness subject to oscillatory movements. The first concerns the theory of ecstasy and gives rise to the opposition between a happiness as the withdrawal into oneself and another happiness as the expansion beyond oneself. This movement then affects the forms of sociability, going from the happiness of solitude to the happiness of the limited social relationship, eventually broadening out by moving between its moral dimension and its political dimension, between the happiness of the man and that of the citizen. This regular and rhythmical dynamic, involving a duality, is however exceeded to the benefit of a happiness as a unity, revealing a dialectic of bliss. This dynamic, in short, allows an understanding of the fiction as the matrix of bliss

Full textThis thesis intends to define the place of rousseau's ideas about language in his political thought. This connection between language and politics lies in the conception of moral or political duty: seau aspires to a language likely to turn a moral injunction into an act or into a behavior, without being prejudicial to freedom. The first part, which deals with the essai sur l'origine des langues, shows that the primitive language according to rousseau represents a state of union between the moral sentiment and its expression. The second part deals with morals, and its is especially in the education that language is linked to the conception of duty: the tutor must lead the child to a voluntary subjection. In politics, the "languages of the city" have to consolidate the efficiency of the language of the law, which lies on national particularity and the universality of the moral sentiment. From this point of view, rousseau's ideas on language converge to a "rhetoric of inner assent", a language which can fill the gap between freedom and the achievement of moral duty

Full textThis thesis will attempt to illustrate the strong link between Rousseau's theory of denatured man and his polemical strategy. The first part deals with the distinction between self-love ("amour de soi") and self-liking ("amour-propre"), which is an example of the semantic battle between Rousseau and the "Philosophes". The research on the sources gives precedence to a close approach to this fight for significance. The second part analyses the way Rousseau paradoxically assimilates the medical discourse in order to oppose the new medical anthropology. Even though he denies the diagnosis of melancholy which undermines his theory of man, he draws upon the enemy's concepts and methods to work on his own hygiene of the passions and plan his new "sensory morals". The third part broaches another object of the controversy, namely the ethos. Rousseau masters this rhetorical device and conveys it an utmost efficiency thanks to his "profession of truth", in tune with his spiritual quest. This unconventional ethos leads him to a major innovation : the deliberate merging of rhetorics and self-representation. This study aims at putting polemical strategy back into the core of the thought of Enlightenment, and notably Rousseau's political and moral system

Full textRousseau disputes the Aristotelian theory of natural sociability to which he supplements his doctrine of natural asociability. At the same time, he rejects the Hobbesian conception of man, which is naturally unsociable, and is also opposed to the dogma of original sin to which he contrasts his theory of original goodness which is, in reality, only an apology for justice and The divine omnipotence which led us to the question of the theodicy inspired by St. Augustine, theorized by Leibniz, contested by Voltaire and forbidden. By rejecting original sin and proclaiming the natural goodness of man, he exculpates God but also man before his integration into social life. It is therefore for him that social bonds corrupt man and make him bad. He causes this corruption to flow from the inequality created by property, for in the state of nature, where there was no property, where everything was common to all, man was not wicked and it was for Attempt to return to the state of natural equality that he instituted the law. But he noticed that once he entered social life, property became a sacred right, indispensable. A reversal has thus taken place in him. As a defender of the right to property, he became its defender. Also, some commentators have classified it in the category of individualists. Others rank him among the Communists and others connect him with the socialist doctrine. In order to better situate him, we chose to confront his ideas and positions with the supporters of these different ideological currents: Proudhon for individualism, Baboeuf for communism and Marx for socialism

Full textIn spite of the charge constantly alleged to Rousseau of being a paradoxical writer and the poor reputation of this rhetorical figure, Rousseau finds it the most convenient way to express his ideas. Studying the literary and rhetorical history of paradox, the reception of Rousseau’s works, his imaginary vision of what literature is and his discourse-making methods leads to show that the does not rely exclusively upon the affective and playful qualities of paradox, but confirms them by applying to the hermeneutic and philosophical abilities of paradox, within such an ideal of literature that search for accurate meaning is a moral demand. Through considering what Rousseau’s use of paradox is, we get a reexamination of his conception of literature and can establish that, according to him, literature is - both for writers and readers - a place of responsible speech and thus of moral action

Full textRousseau claims to be a stranger to his times. But the lucky ones of these times are strangers to their knowledge and to themselves. Rousseau's critique of modernity stems from the feeling of a learned discourse that doesn't ring true. He criticizes the philosophers' dead words, vain knowledge, and the instrumental reification of representations in a discourse that looses track of all principes - the truth of the true, the goodness of the good, and the anchorage of all human sphere in the natural order : sensibility. Can the philosopher, then, regenerate signs, so that social life and communication no longer mean life out of oneself, far from the natural order ? The challenge is to chart the continuity of a sensible horizon, and the accompanying recognition of our fellows, into discrete signs. The living word is the one that carries its origin. It's dialogical. Rousseau's reaction, then, lies in a form of writing which builds a horizon of signs around souls

Full textRousseau aims at defining the particular status of Rousseau's novel in his whole work, as regards his literary genre but also others perspectives. Rousseau considers two sorts of beliefs : one pertaining to religion specifically and the other having to do with purely mundane values (possession, power and glory). In his philosophical work, he approves the former and absolutely condemns the latter. This study aims to show that the novel, which matches the philosophical works regarding religion, has a much more amiguous position as far as mundane values are concerned (particularly power and glory)

Full textThis work reexamines Jean-Jacques Rousseau's conception of the reverie, by placing it in the evolution of the descriptive poesy. The first part tries to reveal the sources of Rousseau's reverie and the characteristics of the literary creation in the 1760s and 1770s, by the genetic study of The Seasons of Saint-Lambert : a work doesn't come from the solitary meditations of only one author, but from the rivalries and the exchanges of ideas between diverse philosophers and writers ; and the theme of the sentiment of existence, that was popular among the philosophers around 1750, insinuates into the poetical milieu thanks to Saint-Lambert who had amicable relations with the sensualists. Paying attention to the philosophical quarrels between the Encyclopedists and Rousseau concerning to the delight and the morality, the second part examines the influence of these quarrels on their literary creation. This approach enables us to determine the philosophical sense that Rousseau gives to the reverie. Examining the passages on the reverie in The Months of Roucher, the third part tries to define the contribution of the reverie of Rousseau to the evolution of the lyricism in the end of 18th century. In this way, this work attempts to demonstrate that the philosophical mind, which characterizes the Age of the Enlightenment, isn't opposed to the poetical mind, but it brought an important contribution to the renaissance of the lyricism in the end of the 18th century

Full textAccurate ideas are found in the writings of Rousseau about médicine. He has shown a very critical judgment about the inefficiency of his médical doctors. It is obvious that he contacted them frequently, before ignoring them definitively. lndeed, he suffered in many decades from a painful urologie disease, which could not be cured by physicians, a chronical and congenital urine rétention. Our work draws his source mainly from the 7175 letters (written or received by Rousseau) grouped by Leigh, completed with some data found in the Confessions. Our aim was to analyze his symptoms, evaluate the diagnosis suggested by the numerous doctors and biographs pf Rousseau's life, but also to discuss the évolution of his sévère judgment about the doctors (among which some were so important in his life to justify a development) and his ideas about the medicine, dominated by the respect of Action of nature, particularly approved by doctor Tissot and the « Hygienists » thought group. On the other hand, Rousseau was well known as having shady and solitary character, andt french psychiatrists in the beginning of XXe century took him even as a current example of paranoid délusion. We assess this hypothesis, analyzing his reactions along his eventful life, with reference to international recommendations (DSM)·
Assouly, Olivier. "Les nourritures politiques de Jean-Jacques Rousseau : cuisine, goût et appétit." Thesis, Paris 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA010612.
Full textGiven the history of philosophy and the marginal treatment that has traditionally been reserved for both the sense of taste and cooking, Rousseau’s position is separate and innovative: while criticising the hubris of cuisine and the vanity of the “grande table”, he considered that taste, a source of sensual pleasure, constitutes an object that merits attention on both an educational and political level. In addition to mere food, and going beyond basic needs, it constitutes a means for exchange and is a otential factor for inequality and injustice, it is also a way of curbing one’s false desires and self-esteem, through its close connection to self-love. Nevertheless, Emile marks a turning point: Rousseau inaugurates the notion of an appetite that takes precedence over taste and takes over to the detriment of flavour and cooking. In the absence of instinct and faced with the proliferation of secondary needs, the appetite is an educational and political instrument, used to recondition hunger and thus recreate, through work, the measure necessary to feed oneself and enjoy it legitimately.While Rousseau was abolishing the idea of a natural configuration of needs and desires when it is man’s responsibility to compose them according to circumstances, he stumbled onto the political design of the social pact that required that citizens, and no longer man, give up the game of preferences and certainly the subjectivising tendencies of the appetite
Yoshino, Michiko. "Anthropologie de Jean-Jacques Rousseau : l'homme, la morale et la modernité." Paris 1, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA010611.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to understand Rousseau's thought of man in its social et moral dimension. In his study of man and human nature, he begins with the knowledge of self. He attempts to shed light on the genesis of human being and humanity by which each man passes from the stage of the given nature to the stage of humanity. Man as individual, however, cannot become himself without his relationship with others in society. Insofar as the principle of human nature lies in the self-preservation or love of oneself, the question is to explain the man's socialization as a process of transformation of the self-love. The human being is described as an existence in a incessant becoming. Rousseau's anthropological thought is moved by a antagonism between love of oneself and love of humanity, passion and reason, self and another. His doctrine of the consciousness as inner voice of moral sentiment presents a solution for the conflicts of individual with others in society where each man abandons himself to a pursuit of his own interest and therefore to individualism. The socialized man cannot be free and happy unless he has virtue. Rousseau's thought appears here as a fundamental criticism of modern society and selfish individualism, and as a perpetual seeking for morality. His ideas about morality are constituted by a dialogue between virtue, ideal of self-mastery, and desire of happiness, on the basis of the concepts of man's natural goodness and universal humanity. The rationalistic conception of morality based on a mere reason is rejected

Full textJean-Jacques Rousseau's first aim is a theory of man. Like Kant's or Rawls'ones, Rousseau's theory of man is constructivist but his way to build it is quite different. It is an anthropology from a narrative point of view. The essential concept of this anthropology is the model. The poetics of the model is the answer to the program of the anthropology. In the first part, we try to explain the way the model is necessary. We have to study carefully three figures of the model : Glaucus, Pygmalion, Émile. The anthropology appears to be a criticism of empiricism. In the second part we first underline the rules of construction ot the model which are rules of statement, structural rules, logical and methodological rules. Then, we can see the rules at work by studying the two main models of Rousseau's anthropology from a narrative point of view : Émile and Julie. The third part is focused on the justification of the model through the texts of the egology. It is the construction of the model of man which gives its coherence to this big and sad system

Full textJean-jacques rousseau stood up with passion for the values of the republican community. He was himself a citizen of the small republic of geneva : upheld by that specific identity, he fervently took in plutarch's teaching and the lessons of the republican antiquity. At the same time, he strongly emphasized his indomitable singularity and gave a particular intensity to the new values of the individual. He consciously connected such an exacting demand for self-determination to religious belief, itself not without links with the protestant christianity which ruled in geneva. Yet rousseau, receiving so the double tradition of republican antiquity and protestant christianity, did not believe it possible to bring together the two ideals. As he writes, we see him acknowledging a bipolar configuration, which eventually hardens into a fearsome antinomy. Setting the values of man against those of the citizen with painful obstination, jeanjacques was tragically tearing himself apart. But he was also asking essential questions, which take on particular significance when placed in the intellectual world of the enlightenment: how can one conceive the link between the individual and the community ? how to define politics, in relation to economic, social and religious concepts ? how to choose between patriotism and cosmopolitanism, between peace and freedom, between the quietness of meditative contemplation and the urgency of action ? we will always be concerned with such questions

Our complete translation of the writing work strives not to simply represent the thoughts of Jean Jacques Rousseau but also the writing style which involve images and rhythm, his attention to explain to the French readers the methodological selections of this work. In conclusion, a critic instrument of the proposed translation will allow a systematic approach destined to comprehend the work of Jean Jacques Rousseau and modalities of its reception in 21st Century Albania

Full textJean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the most important philosophers for the Chinese intellectuals in the 20e century. This study focuses firstly on different groups of society, not only the intellectuals, but also average people and they were inspired by Rousseau. Secondly, the historical materials the author employed are not limited to political commentaries, academic articles, but also included a number of novels, plays or other literary works. In order to provide a complete interpretation of this subject, the author employed especially the imperial exam papers in the late Qing, which is breakthrough of the early studies in the similar subject. Over all speaking, this thesis is an excellent exploration of the themes which author sets but there are still some problems which should be modified for further study, such as content about the complexity of the thinking of Rousseau. The first part of this thesis collects more than two hundred historical documents mentioned Rousseau. By analyzing the historical source according to the time, the authors and the species, the thesis reveals an overall historical course how the Rousseau's ideas spread in the late Qing Dynasty. The second part of the article focuses on the intellectual elite and how they accept and understand Rousseau's thoughts. According to the historical database of this thesis, at late Qing, Liang Qichao is the intellectual who advocated the most the ideas of Rousseau. His attitude towards Rousseau turns from the praise to suspect and finally to criticize, but from the perspective of the history of the human civilization, Liang always holds a "stable" position towards Rousseau. The revolutionary intellectuals elites have an special mode in propagation of Rousseau's thoughts. Their propaganda system is from shallow to deep, covering all sectors of society crowd. Yan fu, although he criticized the political philosophy of Rousseau, also recognized the contribution of Rousseau as educator. The third part deals with the popular literature, literary works, which reveals an overview how the enlightenment values of Rousseau thought inspiring the Chines at late Qing. By analyzing the imperial exam papers, especially in the part of "policy question", the thesis discovers a split phenomenon in the class of the gentry, which shows the challenges and their answers of the gentry as defenders of the traditional social order at the late Qing Dynasty

This paper approaches the fundamentals of virtuous man in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Émile in light of the concept of perfectibility, while discussing human formation from a universal perspective. In its totality, the human being is one of reason and emotion, and therefore oscillates between the natural and the civilian dimensions in a trajectory that goes from the moral awakening process to the degeneration of self-love (amour de soi) into a love of self (amour-propre), and natural pity, weakened and vilified by the misfortunes of social life. In the root of this constituted society, I distinguish between Rousseau’s political virtue and moral virtue in the attempt to demonstrate that, in Émile, virtue comprises, too, the whole of man’s reason and sensibility as the mainstay of the formative process, through which new meanings for human existence are constructed. As an advocate for negative education as opposed to the positive model carried on throughout the history of progress, Rousseau sustains it is no good to develop power to reason by flooding the ignorant child with social duties and matters. Instead, the preeminent and harmonic use of senses is a primary role of education and a valuable tool for instilling the ability to reason. Self-knowledge and self-awareness are then particular yet indispensable within a universal order capable of adjusting reason and emotions, duty and will, as well as conforming them to human potentialities by keeping the man in harmony with nature and themself, especially during the development of the moral being.
Esta tese busca, no Emílio de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, os fundamentos da formação do homem virtuoso. À luz do conceito de perfectibilidade discuto a possibilidade da formação humana na perspectiva universal, considerando o homem em sua totalidade como ser de sentimento e razão. Mostro, nesse percurso, os primeiros embates do homem no estado de natureza e o despertar da moralidade no processo civilizatório, trajetória pela qual o amor de si se transformou em amor-próprio, bem como a piedade natural, enfraquecida e vilipendiada pela vida social, é sufocada em meio ao artifício que sucedeu a vida simples e equilibrada do homem natural. Distingo, no seio dessa sociedade constituída, a virtude política da virtude moral em Rousseau e demonstro que a concepção de virtude no Emílio tem um caráter universal, abrange a totalidade do humano como ser de consciência e razão, daí a centralidade do processo formativo como possibilidade de ascensão da vida a outros patamares de existência. Seguindo o curso da natureza, que tudo faz de maneira correta, Rousseau elabora, na contramão da educação construída pela história do progresso, a educação negativa, formação que se diferencia da que ele chama de positiva, aquela que pretende formar o intelecto antes dos sentidos, enchendo as crianças de conhecimentos sobre os quais ela ainda não tem condições de raciocinar. Rousseau demonstra a preeminência do sentimento no homem como necessidade primeira da educação que deve começar por aperfeiçoar na criança os órgãos dos sentidos, desenvolvendo nela a sensibilidade para que possa exercer a razão pelo exercício bem-ordenado dos sentimentos. Conhecer si mesmo, suas necessidades e possibilidades é essencial à compreensão da ordem universal que, no plano do humano, garante o equilíbrio entre a razão e a sentimento, o dever e a vontade, mediando os desejos de acordo com as potencialidades do homem, mantendo-o em sintonia com a natureza e consigo mesmo, consciente dos embates que certamente enfrentará na vida social, especialmente na formação do ser moral.

Full textThis thesis deals with the first of jean-jacques rousseau's novel julie ou la nouvlle heloise (1761) and studies the way our interpretation of a text can be influenced by the many differents types of textual (title, prefaces, footnotes. . . ) or material (format, paper, typography. . . ) elements that accompany or <> it. The introduction demosntrates the ne cessity of a pluri-subjects - book history, << paratextual >> studies. . . - approach to texts. The first two parts show how rousseau wanted to control not only the writing of his text but also the making of the book which carried it and which was conceived according to a litterary project. The third part proves that rousseau devised the prefaces and footnotes to his novel in order to disturb the reader and to constrain him to think by himself. The fourth and last part first of all brings to light rousseau's conception of book and reading, then tests the validity of the theorical elemen ts thus obtained by applying them to the rest of the paratextual objects present in the first editions of julie : plates , table of contents. . . The conclusion insists on the necessity to elaborate a <> : if rousseau is probably, with his novel, the most meaningful exemple of a writer implication into what is nowadays usually considered as a pure publisher concern, many of his contemporaries - voltaire, retif de la bretonne, beaumarchais, bernardin de saint pierre. . . - did expres the interest they took in the material dimension of a book conceived as capable to influence the meaning of the text it carries; that is to say as a litterary object

Full textThis dissertation conducts a systematic examination of Jean-Jacques Rousseau 's representation of Antiquity and provides a new interpretation of its meaning. Rousseau's lifelong interest in ancient Greece and Rome has so far been interpreted mainly as a personal myth, rooted in his emotional identification with examples of civic virtue. Challenging this interpretation, I analyze Rousseau's vision of Antiquity as a carefully constructed representatio n that seeks to answer key questions of early modern political thought. As he constructs his political system, Rousseau considers ancient material through a complex web of mediations, which alter his representation of Antiquity . The admiration for great men inherited from his childhood reading of Plutarch quickly turns into the construction of dynamic political models. Rousseau draws on ancient historical examples, as weil as on Plato's and Aristotle's political philosophy, to articulate his own definition of key modern political concepts such as sovereignty and body politic. In Rousseau's view ancient cities were politically successful because they fully understood the fundamental connection between anthropology and politics, placing the moral education of the citizens at the core of political action. Studying examples of ancient cities thus becomes indispensable not only to define a truly legitimate political structure, but also to design methods and practices to make it last over ti me. In this respect, the Roman Republic, whose institutions more successfully faced the challenge of history, serves as a more significant political model than Sparta. Reassessing Rousseau's representation of Antiquity thus allows usto reevaluate the place of government in his political system

Full textOur paper's objective is trying to picture rousseau's influence on the evolution of what m. Blanchot described as "literary space". This so called "literary space" consists in writing, literature creation, and rousseau as a writer. Rousseau is the source of a writing mythical concept. As a musician, he thinks writing in terms of loss of speach, and endeavours to give hints of the original voice. Creating passionate comments on the topic of his writing, he is first and above all denouncing the alienating feeling he senses when writing. Building up and puting forward the concept of genius and work, rousseau's track of thoughts reasoning especially ambiguous. This reasing uncovers the danger of alienation at work in creative process, and invents safe spots for self protection. Above all it creates a new relationship between writer, reader and editor, summoned to become friends or foe. Moreover rousseau creates the modern and self conflicting figure of the writer. For a long time rejected, hated, this figure finds in rousseau's work the lack of standing and the mask of loneliness which he will maintain for us : constantly litigating, he is the emblem of a space who will never stop to question himself on the meaning of life

Full textThis thesis shows how Rousseau transformed the meaning of the word Nature. He first developped the idea of Nature to reflect on politics. It occured to him that nature was a place where violence had no dominion, insofar as it was outside of history. But this primitive state of nature has been lost to such an extent that it is no longer neither possible nor desirable to return to it. Nevertheless, Rousseau passionately sought a "wilderness" or "desert " that had survived intact. But he was only able to encounter this within his own heart. By deliberately confusing it with subjective experience he proposed a radical re-definition of nature which cannot be reduced to objective fact. External nature, place and landscape exist only in relation to a subject. We hold, therefore, that Rousseau's aesthetics can only be understood with reference to his philosophy of the inner life

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study the relationship between faith and desire in jean-jacques rousseau. It therefore takes a psychoanalytical perspective and attempts to shed light on the imaginary representations underlying rousseau's doctrinal choices. It puts forward the idea that rousseau's religious position is fundamentally non-christian in so far as it challenges the dogma of incarnation. The psychoanalytical investigation here aims at emphasizing the unconscious assumptions which contribute to his rejection of the christian imaginary. It also associates rousseau's deviating views on original sin,the revelation, and miracles with a problematic pattern focusing on the question of the origin. His rejection of christianity is that of a religious realm based on mediation and filiation. His refusal of the symbolic order of the trinity must be seen in relation to his very uncertain genealogical "position": his father's perverted discourse summons him to take an imaginary place symbollically marked by interdict. For lack of a signifier which could limit the anxiety aroused by the call of pleasure,rousseau must,by his profession of faith,strengthen the image of an idealised father unmarked by castration. In la nouvelle heloise however, his faith escapes any attempt at categorization; wolmar's atheistic negation as well as julie's mystical solution are both signs of a singular desire which overconfident dogmas of any kind cannot reduce

Full textAt the meeting-point of utopology and Rousseau studies, this enquiry into the effects of utopia on Rousseau’s political philosophy shows the importance of the latter in the transition between classical utopian patterns and modern utopias. With Rousseau, utopia is at a turning-point : utopias become projects of government, and are developed into a critical model, which goes far beyond the borders of the insular state - epitomized by the Projet de constitution pour la Corse -, and opens up a new scope for international politics. This research on the history of an idea considers (1) the different contexts of the reception of utopia and its influence on the constitution of “rousseauism” ; (2) the utopian models and methods in Rousseau’s works ; (3) Rousseau’s cosmopolitan utopias

Full textRousseau's reflections on the spectacle (whether theatrical, musical or pictorial) are elaborated through a number of theoretical texts that question the status of the spectator and his relationship with what is seen and heard. This relationship is a source of numerous questions for the writer who reflects on what could be termed an 'economy of distance' , so as to better adjust the way he looks on the object mis en scène and to regulate the emotions provoked by the structure of the spectacle. This approach to the spectacle also allows us to explore Rousseau's approach to origins as it seems that it is from his conception of nature that the notion of the spectacle and the emotions it provokes are developed. Emotional quality is particularly explored by Rousseau who distinguishes the visual spectacle from the auditory one: to the fascination of the image created by the theatrical setting is opposed the musical sentiment, seen both as a source of ideal communication between the musician and the listener, as well as the creator of a mental spectacle. Such is the importance of the musical spectacle that the writing of Rousseau is not conceived without a constant reference to its characteristics. The writer thus becomes a listener of music subjugated by the sentiments he feels. These reflections on spectacles find an echo in the narrative works of Rousseau that apply those characteristics identified by his theory. Influenced by the aesthetics of the theatrical tableau conceptualised by Diderot and reflecting on the bourgeois drama, Rousseau tempers his suspicion concerning different types of theatrical images that according to him find their best expression in the way of looking. The Nouvelle Héloïse goes at times beyond the linearity of writing to propose certain tableaux that borrow from the estampe and the bourgeois drama. The reader is thus transformed into a spectator of a bourgeois drama, but not exclusively so: indeed, the representation in images of the narrative draws equally on pictorial sources (with in particular the considerations on the Sujets d'estampes) and offers a reflection on the looks assumed by the majority of characters. But, above all, it is by seeking inspiration in his own musical concepts that Rousseau is led to finding new forms of writing that renew the relationship to the reader. Indeed, the autobiographical works propose a musical mise en scène of the self. The composer becomes therefore one of the writer's models because he enables the 'I' to be read as a musical partition. At the same time, the structure of the visual spectacle is re-questioned by Rousseau whose writing marries the musical model. In the last instance it is the copyist who, in the autobiographical works, offers a writing model that of the chamber obscure, where the spectacle of the self is transformed into musical signs
