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

Full textThe three rousseauistic commemorations of 1912 (Rousseau’s bicentennial), 1962 (250th anniversary, Contrat social bicentennial), 1978 (bicentennial of his death), bring to light the evolution of the philosopher's image and work in the 20th century, in as much as said anniversaries prompted a blossoming of publications. Subjected to a political debate between left-wing and right-wing at the beginning of the century - Rousseau was to be really read and commented after World War II. Yet his image suffered the suspicious glances and putting off from the post-68 generation

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 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 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 textIt is from his conversion to Italian music that Rousseau works out a musical theory which is explicitly opposed to Rameau's one. But the embarrassment caused by his conversion constrained Rousseau to go deeply into his musical's thought on the philosophical ground : through a conversion to the origins, he builds a theory of the essence of music and languages and of their common degeneration, which justify of an ontological level the aesthetic opposition of the first moment of his musical conversion, but contradicts some points of his previous statements. This problematic conversion in two periods has nevertheless an extraordinary theoretical significance which his philosophical work shows, but also his literary one : from his point of view, the musical conversion seems like a matrix which diffuses to the other fields of Rousseau's reflection some concepts, tensions and problems resulting from the musical thought. The use of the concept of conversion as an analysis tool shows the musical conversion as a main conversion too, whose study could contribute to renew the reading of his work
Adamy, Paule. "Les corps de Jean-Jacques Rousseau." Paris 1, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA010551.
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 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 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)·

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 textContrary to generally accepted ideas, Jean-Jacques Rousseau liked the laughter and the cheerfulness: various writings (his novel Julie ou La Nouvelle Héloïse, his four comedies, his autobiographical works, and even pamphlets), often joyful, prove it. The Complete Correspondence confirms this idea: taste of comic, pleasantry, sentimental laughter, and even humor characterize the Citizen of Geneva who is traditionally opposed to Voltaire for his lack of lightness or wit. Moreover, the notions of cheerfulness and laughter fit his philosophical system, and enrich his conception of society, education, childhood and even women – well beyond the Lettre à d’Alembert sur les spectacles published in 1758. Conversely, and in a more conventional way, the writer used to distrust in an innate way, derision, and the ‘’persiflage’’ he was the victim in the salons of Paris. Especially from 1750 and more specifically after the personal reformation in 1756, Rousseau was the slayer of laughter at an intellectual and moral level, and he became gradually the victim of the laughing stock of Paris, Geneva and London (from personalities as diverse as Palissot, Voltaire, Walpole, Diderot and Grimm) –so much as to imagine the existence of the “complot” at Wootton in 1766
Rueff, Martin. "Anthropologie et poétique : la notion de modèle chez Jean-Jacques Rousseau." Paris 4, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA040209.
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 textThis is to show that the distinction established by Rousseau between philosophy and the novel sheds a light on his reflexion on language. Rousseau's phrase, "persuading without convincing" attests to a search for an articulation between language, subjectivity and truth. The value of persuasion is rooted in various models - the ancient rhetoric, the musical language, the New Testament - which all legitimize the idea of adequacy between persuasion and truth. At the heart of philosophical work, La Nouvelle Héloïse and its writing fuelled by desire, not bound by a concern for truth, informs us about Rousseau's philosophy "in the making". As an experiment in thinking, the process of writing at play in the novel allowed Rousseau to explore the concept of subjectivity by creating souls filled with compassion, love, desire and imagination. As such, La Julie is a key moment in his reflexion. Rousseau's ambiguous attitude to his novel testifies to the confusion created by this desire-fuelled writing to which he will yet grant a moral value. This then leads to a second theoretical issue. Reconsidering the notion of inspiration in its links with imagination and language helps to define the status of the novel. La Julie works through neither catharsis nor the conveying of ideas but, as an effective means of persuasion, through the identification of the reader with fictionnal characters. Men, now driven by pride, a cause of moral and political delusions, must be compelled to lead a good life by the laws and the "good fictions" implemented by legislators and writers. The novel, like the law, must have a part in the making of the citizen

Full textJean-Jacques Rousseau, haunted by the delusion of persecution, undertakes to write an extraordinary work : Rousseau judge of Jean-Jacques-Dialogues. In this book, the author, who considers himself disfigured and defamed by the unanimous hostility of the enemies and the public, makes "Rousseau" and "the Frenchman" dialogue in order to prove desperately the innocence of "Jean-Jacques" and reveal the injustices that are made to him. This work, which even the true friends or supporters of Rousseau have hesitated to publish because of its strangeness, has long been considered the document of Rousseau's paranoid delusion and was held at a distance by literary researchers. This was his status until the interventions of Michel Foucault and Jean-Marie Goulemot.Is it for this reason that the studies not only on their content, but also on their writing, their manuscripts and their editions do not advance at the same rate as his other works, in particular the Confessions? About Confessions, there are many studies on manuscripts and editions. In this thesis, it will be necessary to reconstitute the textual history of the Dialogues by effectively using not only his correspondence and the four manuscripts of the Dialogues, but also the Memoirs and the correspondences of the contemporaries. The ambition is threefold : to clarify the history of writing, to put the manuscripts in order and to continue the examination until the first edition of Geneva by his friends

Full textOur thesis consists in three parts, following a progression that attempts to retrace the singular genesis of Rousseau's writing, here deciphered as a movement of "Rebellion", from aesthetics to ethics : beginning with the "discours", we first tried to understand the difficulties of Rousseauist eloquence, particularly that fascinated suspicion it nourishes towards "rhetoric" as well as the powers of image ; then, with the "Nouvelle Eloi͏̈se" and the "Essai sur l'origine des langues", we attempted to show that Rousseauist polyphony unfolded itself as an imaginary space where Rousseau - confronted to a crisis of the sense that the "Discours" had unveiled - did undertake to a thorough refoundation of the symbolic system and subjectivity ; finally, we reread the first two books of the "Confessions" under the crude light of the 1762 "drama" and the "mythical scene" of the "Lévite d'Ephrai͏̈m", so as to try to understand which could be, in that context, the signification of the autobiographical "acting out"

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 textPreliminary research on preceding flow of translations, reception and their use in Albanian Literature served as a starting phase for accomplishing the translation of ‘Emile, or on Education’. It included reflection on epistemological problems which emphasize the reaction of societies to certain writing works depending on time and culture. Every translation has its own value as long as it fulfills the minimum scientific convention and competence. 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 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 textRousseau7s confessions and social contract define the self as a physical or moral person essentially individualised, unique, autonomous, and self-conscious. As man or political body, the self manifests in its social or external3 relations a dynamic character involving the extension of its being over others or a retreat form them; whileits morale and fortune are maked by exaltation or grandeur, by self-effacement or decline. The nature of rousseau's own self is reflected in the structure of the social contract, with a prologue revealing the obsessional innocence of the author, followed by a rise unto a political ideal whose continuation is discarded by the conclusion. Rousseau's works on corsica and poland constitute an evolution, in concret terms, of the idea of the collective self ; while emile and julie contain the part of rousseau's self repressed in the face of constraints in real life

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 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

This object is questionned at the same time in its heuristic effects for comprehension of the language's thought and practice in Rousseau's work. It opens indeed inside Rousseau's work : on a redefinition of the self-love in a relationship with the love of others, on a position of the problems a the Iack as emergence of the semiotics of the value, on a reinterpretation of the memorv and the involuntary like effect and language, on a reevaluation of the theoretical stake of the category of " language of the signs " and of its relations with writing (timidity and language of the signs - this one expressing that one - are conceived as " joining together the autobiography and the System "), or also at the prospect of delaved-actior of writing " in abstentia " characteristic of Rousseau's rhetoric position through the figure of prosopopeia. Is thus exposed a " timidity's device ". Singular logic of " few " (among others through the image of " light mouvement ") acting in Rousseau's entire work (particulary as dialog) to modify the opération of the enunciative System, specially the place of the reader by founding this one like a sign -joigned to the signs of timid enunciation- of an universel subjectivity

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 textThe originality of rouseau's writing consists in a break with the traditional conceptions of the unity of language, which is rightly perceived, but not positively conceived. His writing develops out this impossibility and appears as the attempt to solve the conflict of language of traditional discourses and the enlightment ones as well (attitudes of modern grammarian and moralist). Rousseau's purpose is to re-establish unity against real difference and diversity of languages, on which his linguistic experience is based. Besides, as it searches the caution of science, his writing develops a pseudo-conception of nature, which makes coherent reasoning analysis of historical and social facts. "man", who is the purpose of this pseudo-conception, is considered as essentially non-contradictory, the author builds his unity by representing a social space he wants to control and maintain. To refuse the idea of breaking finally becomes perceptible in perfectionnist attitude: perpetual return to the contradictions of writing and repeated attempts to contain and evacuate them in making the descriptions, reasonings and demonstrations more precise. Rousseau, reduced to self-censorship (when the idea of "conspiration" occurs) reaches the limites ofhis writing. He sets the (modern) problematic of language in the antinomia of lies and truth, and consequently, he gives a litterary answer thanks to a system of (circular) formulas which structures his writing. Then, he finds out the meaning again

Full textThis work is about the verbal aspect of the literary work as a gainful prospect to the study of sensibility in Jean Jacques ROUSSEAU's narratives. To achieve this target, we made use of the semiostylistic method which is built along the line of two trends both different and complementary: serial stylistics and that which carefully studies the text as an oration, taking into account the outsending and the reception poles. We first of all studied the discursive statute of ROUSSEAU's narratives and their orientation to the receptor by analysing the intratextual statute of different actors of the communication process. This brought about the identification of sensibility within this macro-text, not merely expressed as an anecdotal content but as form and signification fully embodied in the stylisitc tact. In a general way, sensibility is thus comprised in the sphere of influence of generic literarity towards and individuation in the light of peculiar literarity. Finally, it appears to be a discursive praxis whose reception is clearly directed through different levels of the ladder involving the relationship between the outsender and the receptor
Lebeau, Pascal. "Rousseau et l'appropriation." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H204.
Full textAppropriation is the process by which an animal, upon realising its nature in an appropriate way with its environment, reaches well-being by the prevention of natural evil. For man, with ambivalent perfectibility, the stakes are also moral. The intuitive grasping of what is adequate for him is relatively lost or undefined, and is all the more subject to the wandering associated with its moral freedom, that it is a being of self-love confronted with others in a context of environmental finitude. Rousseau, seeking to go back to the source of evil, confronts these problems. He thinks the man of nature to find the natural man, to identify his needs, his rights, in a word the conditions of his appropriation properly speaking. But this can only be simultaneously physical and moral, requiring the initiation of a virtuous circle between having and being, impossible without politics and notably a right of property, that is to say a right of very specific appropriation. Via media between the community of goods and liberalism, the latter is perhaps, politically and morally, the key to its system

Full textIn China, from the twentieth century, one type of musical notation has been largely used for representing musical sounds by Indo-Arabic numerals. This notation is called Jianpu in china which means "simple notation." Indeed, this notation is not born in China, but comes from the West, precisely, called the Rousseau's method. In 1742, Jean-Jacques Rousseau had presented his project on a new approach for writing music, a numeral notation. Nevertheless, the French society was cold enough for his invention. This intelligent method was put aside by himself and also in most of the public in Europe. Fortunately, after a long period of development and travel in the world, this numerical notation has finally found its audience in China. This thesis strives to discover and analyze this phenomenon. For this purpose, firstly, the Chinese numerical notation will be compared in details with that one of Rousseau; then the traditional Chinese notations existing before this introduced notation are presented; finally, the special Chinese environment of the early twentieth century will be examined, because of playing an important role in the reception of this method

Full textEver since his thought was introduced to China via Japan at the end of the 19th century, Rousseau has for generations been a charming figure for many members from the intelligentsia in China. By citing The Social Contract and Émile as two examples, the author of the dissertation intends to discuss how the thought of Rousseau was accepted in China during a period from the end of the 19th century to 1949. The dissertation starts with an analysis of the textual differences by comparing a number of the Chinese translations of the two works, the translations, for example, of Du Contrat social by Nakae Chômin, Yang Tingdong and Ma Junwu, and of Émile by Yamaguchi Katarô and Shimazaki Tsunegoro, Xia Gaizun and Tan Juemin. Then the dissertation proceeds to look into the writings on the political and educational principles of Rousseau by Chinese men of letters living during various historical peorids so as to explore the way in which the thought of Rousseau spread to China via Japan, participated in and made impacts on the transformation of the traditional thought into the modern one. The dissertation ends up with a discussion of how Yan Fu, Liang Qichao and the other thinkers who had had a great influence on the modern Chinese culture accepted, understood and disseminated the politically democratic ideas of Rousseau, and how in the great debates that went on in the 1930s between Lu Xun and Liang Shiqiu the educational principles of Rousseau were made used of, the purpose of which is to show how the metamorphosis of the thought of Rousseau occurred in China

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
