Diderot the Satirist

Diderot the Satirist

Donal O'Gorman

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS
1971
pokkari
In this highly original and provocative contribution to Diderot scholarship, Professor O’Gorman analyses Diderot’s three satirical works: Le Neveu de Rameau, Satire première, and Lui et Moi. A brillant satire in dialogue, Le Neveu de Rameau is Diderot’s masterpiece. Subjected to intense critical scrutiny since it first appeared in a German translation by Goethe in 1805, it remains one of the most enigmatic works in French literature. Although it is universally recognized as one of the outstanding literary monuments of the French 18th century, there is no agreement among scholars as to its structure, its literary form, or the author’s meaning in the dialogue. Professor O’Gorman proposes a radical new theory of the overall meaning of the dialogue. His careful analysis of the text traces Diderot’s ideas to sources in ancient literature and discloses several levels of meaning hitherto unsuspected. The discussion of Satire première is supplemented by an annotated critical edition of the work ; the analysis of Lui et moi is supplemented by an annotated text. These are not stylistic studies but literary analyses. Their ai mis to clear up difficulties presented by the text and to provide an explanation and an appreciation of each satire. The method used is mainly historical; with special emphasis being given to the sources of Diderot’s thought. This study opens fresh perspectives on Diderot the man, as well as Diderot the artist, and is an important contribution to scholarship on the Enlightenment. The book contains a Foreword by Professor Otis Fellows of Columbia University, editor of the series Diderot Studies.

Diderot And The Art Of Thinking Freely

Diderot And The Art Of Thinking Freely

sidottu
A spirited biography of the prophetic and sympathetic philosopher who, along with Voltaire and Rousseau, helped build the foundations of the modern world. Denis Diderot is often associated with the decades-long battle to bring the world's first comprehensive Encyclop die into existence. But his most daring writing took place in the shadows. Thrown into prison for his atheism in 1749, Diderot decided to reserve his best books for posterity--for us, in fact. In the astonishing cache of unpublished writings left behind after his death, Diderot dreamed of natural selection before Darwin, the Oedipus complex before Freud, and genetic manipulation centuries before Dolly the Sheep. Even more audaciously, the writer challenged virtually all of his century's accepted truths, from the sanctity of monarchy, to the racial justification of the slave trade, to the complications of human sexuality. One of Diderot's most attentive readers during his lifetime was Catherine the Great, who not only supported him financially, but invited him to St. Petersburg to talk about art and help her think about reforming her empire. In this thematically organized biography, Andrew S. Curran vividly describes Diderot's tormented relationship with Rousseau, his curious correspondence with Voltaire, his passionate affairs, and his often paradoxical stand on art, morality, politics, and religion. But what this book brings out most brilliantly is how the writer's self-doubts were an essential part of his genius and his ability to flaunt taboos, dogma, and convention.

"The Peace Lover shall guard Zanquei until its rightful owner reclaims it..." That was Lord Chris Markum's pledge one thousand years ago. Cedric Markum knew the legend well of Zanquei, the powerful magic helmet that only its true master could wear. But how could he, the descendant of Lord Chris Markum, find Zanquei's rightful owner? "Should we gather all the mighty warriors of the kingdom and have them try on the helmet?" Cedric asked his grandfather. "Grandson, this is not Cinderella's glass slipper we're talking about..." Before moving away from the Kingdom of Anguo, eight-year-old Michi Dallion is led to a secret armor room. By chance, she tries on a magnificent helmet stashed within a hidden chamber. And suddenly her life, along with her ordinary moving trip, is transformed. Knights, demons, and immortals alike are now mysteriously drawn to cross paths with this little girl... meetings that will forever change their fate, and the fate of their world.

Best Book of the Year - Kirkus Reviews A spirited biography of the prophetic and sympathetic philosopher who helped build the foundations of the modern world. Denis Diderot is often associated with the decades-long battle to bring the world's first comprehensive Encyclop die into existence. But his most daring writing took place in the shadows. Thrown into prison for his atheism in 1749, Diderot decided to reserve his best books for posterity-for us, in fact. In the astonishing cache of unpublished writings left behind after his death, Diderot challenged virtually all of his century's accepted truths, from the sanctity of monarchy, to the racial justification of the slave trade, to the norms of human sexuality. One of Diderot's most attentive readers during his lifetime was Catherine the Great, who not only supported him financially, but invited him to St. Petersburg to talk about the possibility of democratizing the Russian empire. In this thematically organized biography, Andrew S. Curran vividly describes Diderot's tormented relationship with Rousseau, his curious correspondence with Voltaire, his passionate affairs, and his often iconoclastic stands on art, theater, morality, politics, and religion. But what this book brings out most brilliantly is how the writer's personal turmoil was an essential part of his genius and his ability to flout taboos, dogma, and convention.

Diderot, Rousseau and the politics of the Arts in the Enlightenment

Diderot, Rousseau and the politics of the Arts in the Enlightenment

Gerardo Tocchini

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
nidottu
In mid-eighteenth-century Paris, the encyclopedists launched a campaign to radically redefine the public dimension of all ‘imaginative’ arts, starting with music – with the querelle des bouffons – then theatre, the novel and finally the visual arts. Diderot, Rousseau and the Politics of the Arts in the Enlightenment exposes the correlation between the prejudices and hierarchies of the political and social system of the time and what d’Alembert calls ‘literary superstitions’. The book reconstructs the role of Diderot and Rousseau, frères ennemis, as they engaged in a dispute that was above all else political, despite revolving entirely around forms of artistic expression. Throwing a light on this important cultural event is all the more necessary because the essentially political dimension of Diderot’s Salons has since the nineteenth-century been completely obscured from view. Indeed, at first misunderstood and then totally neglected, for over two centuries their true significance has been systematically ignored by the aesthetic-idealist school of criticism.

Diderot's humanoid objects

Denis Diderot was one of the most important thinkers of the French Enlightenment, and the recent scholarly consensus attributes the practice of presenting marionettes as role models for actors goes back to Diderot. This author argues that the existing scholarship comparing Diderot’s acting treatise to theories of the historical avant-garde have led to a one-sided view of his mannequin metaphor as an artist’s tool, and the material conditions in which it was situated in the eighteenth century. Therefore this volume seeks to demonstrate that a deep dive into eighteenth-century material culture is necessary to fully do justice to Diderot’s acting theory through the examination of the intersection of eighteenth-century theories of acting and material culture. This is in order to open new perspectives on Diderot’s mannequin metaphor and related metaphors of humanoid objects.
