Synopsis

There are French writers in France and North America who are gay or lesbian, but do they practice lesbian and gay writing? In « Same Sex/Different Text? Gay and Lesbian Writing in French, » lesbian and gay writers are juxtaposed; photographs and texts look at each other; and literary observers ask about « gay erotics, » queer rhetoric, and how to sort out the effects of sexual preference, homophobia, time and place, and literary and artistic tradition.

Rodin’s Sapphic Designs

By the time Rodin died in 1917, his reputation as a sculptor of genius was already firmly established. To make certain that it would endure after his death, he signed a deed, in September 1916, leaving to the French state the totality of his « oeuvre, » which was to remain in the beautiful eighteenth-century mansion he had established as his Paris studio in 1908. According to the terms of the deed, the old mansion, named the Hôtel Biron, was to become the Musée Rodin, a monument to his own glory. Rodin’s stipulations had to be encoded in law, and it was only after heated debates in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies that the government finally ratified his bequest, in November 1916. The Hôtel Biron had seen a moment of splendor in the eighteenth century, when it was inhabited by a series of notables.

– DESCRIPTION:
French Food offers a smorgasbord of topics on cuisine in modern France, from the invention of French cuisine in the early 1800s to the McDonaldization of that national emblem, the French fry. The editors uses discrete moments in French history to illuminate the intersection of food, nationality, and culture: the origin of modern French gastronomy, the role of food in literature and films from Proust and Colette to detective fiction, public and private meals at the end of the nineteenth century, and the fusion of international cuisines at the turn of this century.
