Zusammenfassung: | The Papin sisters, two maids who shocked France by savagely butchering their mistress and her daughter; Violette Nozieres, arrested for poisoning her mother and father; the serial murderer Eugen Weidmann, the last man to be publicly guillotined in France; Pierre Bastian, accused and tried for keeping his sister imprisoned in the same room for twenty-five years in conditions of unspeakable squalor; the mysterious 'affaire Gregory' which involved Marguerite Duras in a nationwide scandal for publishing an article in a national daily accusing a mother of murdering her own infant son: these sordid tales, widely disseminated by the French press in articles known as 'faits divers', have inflamed the imaginations of French writers and intellectuals from Zola and de Beauvoir to Barthes, Foucault and Lacan Such news reports are the basis for some of the most enduring characters in French fiction - Julian Sorel, Emma Bovary and Therese Desqueyroux - and continue to enthrall readers on a daily basis. This rigorous and fascinating book is the only systematic study of the creative relationship between French writers and intellectuals and the 'fait divers'. In addition to finding inspiration in these items, many French novelists and intellectuals have been moved to comment on the psychological, social and judicial issues to which they habitually give rise. The study of this phenomenon underscores the powerful hold the sensational has exerted on the nation's psyche and shows how the more lurid aspects of popular culture have fired the imaginations not only of the 'masses' but of the intelligentsia as well |

Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Berg French studies The Papin sisters, two maids who shocked France by savagely butchering their mistress and her daughter; Violette Nozieres, arrested for poisoning her mother and father; the serial murderer Eugen Weidmann, the last man to be publicly guillotined in France; Pierre Bastian, accused and tried for keeping his sister imprisoned in the same room for twenty-five years in conditions of unspeakable squalor; the mysterious 'affaire Gregory' which involved Marguerite Duras in a nationwide scandal for publishing an article in a national daily accusing a mother of murdering her own infant son: these sordid tales, widely disseminated by the French press in articles known as 'faits divers', have inflamed the imaginations of French writers and intellectuals from Zola and de Beauvoir to Barthes, Foucault and Lacan Such news reports are the basis for some of the most enduring characters in French fiction - Julian Sorel, Emma Bovary and Therese Desqueyroux - and continue to enthrall readers on a daily basis. This rigorous and fascinating book is the only systematic study of the creative relationship between French writers and intellectuals and the 'fait divers'. In addition to finding inspiration in these items, many French novelists and intellectuals have been moved to comment on the psychological, social and judicial issues to which they habitually give rise. The study of this phenomenon underscores the powerful hold the sensational has exerted on the nation's psyche and shows how the more lurid aspects of popular culture have fired the imaginations not only of the 'masses' but of the intelligentsia as well Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1890-1980 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900-1985 gnd rswk-swf Berichten gtt Frans gtt Letterkunde gtt Littérature française - 20e siècle - Histoire et critique Presse et littérature - France Sensationnalisme dans la littérature Violence dans la littérature Französisch Literatur French literature 20th century History and criticism Journalism and literature France Sensationalism in literature Violence in literature Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 gnd rswk-swf Berichterstattung (DE-588)4005709-4 gnd rswk-swf Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Sensation (DE-588)4327780-9 gnd rswk-swf Kriminalität (DE-588)4033178-7 gnd rswk-swf Publizistik (DE-588)4047770-8 gnd rswk-swf Presse (DE-588)4047150-0 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Sensation (DE-588)4327780-9 s Geschichte 1900-1985 z DE-604 Kriminalität (DE-588)4033178-7 s Berichterstattung (DE-588)4005709-4 s Presse (DE-588)4047150-0 s Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 s Publizistik (DE-588)4047770-8 s Geschichte 1890-1980 z DE-188 |
