Abstract:

Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons aux moeurs sexuelles des classes laborieuses à la fin de l'ère victorienne (1875-1901). Notre recherche s'appuie principalement sur des courriers intimes et des témoignages retrouvés dans les dossiers d'adoption des archives du London Foundling Hospital, institut charitable qui accueille les enfants illégitimes depuis la fin du dix-huitième siècle. Grâce à ces sources primaires, nous nous proposons de ressusciter le passé, de retrouver des instants clés de la vie de jeunes couples d'amoureux de Londres et de sa région, pour la plupart des travailleurs peu ou moyennement qualifiés qui se rencontrent dans le tumulte de la plus grande ville jamais vue au monde. Nous chercherons donc à faire un tableau plus fidèle des relations amoureuses et sexuelles de ces jeunes couples britanniques. Ce travail s'articule autour de trois axes. Dans un premier temps, nous dresserons le portrait des populations à l'étude, pour ensuite évaluer la fiabilité des sources et se rappeler le contexte historique et idéologique du dernier quart du dix-neuvième siècle. Nous nous intéresserons ensuite à l'interprétation des correspondances intimes et à ce que le discours masculin dévoile des moeurs amoureuses des couples. Nous considèrerons les codes de morale qui régissent les relations amoureuses et nous conclurons enfin cette étude par une approche plus théorique des sources grâce à laquelle on s'intéressera au rapport entre les sexes et aux idéaux amoureux des couples
This work examines the sexual mores of the working classes at the end of the Victorian era (1875-1901). The research is based on the study of private correspondences and testimonies found in the archives of the London Foundling Hospital, a charitable institute welcoming illegitimate children since the end of the eighteenth century. Thanks to these primary sources, we will bring to life certain elements of the past and rediscover key moments in the lives of young couples in London and its suburbs most of whom were working or lower middle class skilled workers who met in the busy streets of London. We will endeavour to paint a faithful portrait of the loving and sexual relations of these young British couples. This study is structured around three principal parts: firstly, we will construct a portrait of the population under study, evaluate the reliability of the sources available and focus on the historical and ideological context of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Secondly, we will interpret the private correspondences and examine what the male discourse tells us about the sexual mores of the couples under study. We will also look into the moral codes regulating love affairs during the period. We will bring this study to a close with a more theoretical approach to the sources enabling us to draw certain conclusions concerning the relationship between the sexes and the romantic ideal of the couples

Abstract:

The photographs and albums of Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) form an originating site of archival creativity, both in their internal dynamics and for a range of textual representations. Conceptually, the archive is increasingly being explored as a creative and affective site for the production of culture and fiction, with Victorian traces featuring prominently due to their richness and profusion. Creative experiments with textual archives have met with critical attention; yet the visual archive is also embedded with fluid patterns of meaning, complicated by the flexible relation between image and text. Victorian photography in particular offers auratic and temporal qualities that can produce implicit narratives. Drawing on a recent wave of Cameron scholarship, I argue that Cameron was an archival artist, creating portraits inspired by history and literature that embed a matrix of cultural strands which demand to be interpreted affectively by the viewer. Her many photographic albums can be “read” as visual archives that present a series of imagined experiences to the viewer, question Victorian politics of identity, and contain fluid narrative potential. These archival narratives can be compared to the way in which Cameron’s photographic imagination has been translated over the last century and a half into textual narratives, in which the photographs act as material tokens of memory, conduits of female emancipation and transformative visual experiences. Her visual structures and arresting style significantly influenced her great-niece, Virginia Woolf, who was also an advocate of archival affectivity as a means to bring attention to “obscure lives”, and whose flexible approach to history adds layers to Cameron’s literary afterlife. In recent years, Cameron’s works have been evoked in neo-Victorian fiction as visual traces that open the text to new interpretations. Representations of Cameron’s photographs deconstruct the dynamics of nineteenth-century visual culture and bring “obscure lives” into the light, conduct structural and temporal experimentations in fiction through sequences of visual experiences, and present the overwhelming power of light as access to the intangible amidst a collage of fragmented materials and meanings. Cameron’s Victorian photographs and albums are radical archival art forms, and demonstrate the exponential archival creativity of the photographic trace to blur accepted borders between reality and fiction, and between the Victorian imagination and the multiple perspectives of the present.

Full text

Abstract:

Studies of historic fish archaeofaunas can contribute to our understanding of Victorian-era consumer choice and agency. However, most zooarchaeological work focuses on interpreting large mammal remains such as cow (Bos taurus). That fish are overlooked is particularly striking in the Pacific Northwest, where fishing was a major facet of both the bourgeoning industrial economy and local household practices. My thesis addresses this gap through study of archival records (mainly newspapers) and zooarchaeological fish records from a neighborhood in Vancouver, Washington focusing on the period between 1880 and 1910. My particular goals were to examine how fishes were acquired and their economic role in a market economy. I conducted archival research through systematic and qualitative reviews of The Oregonian and other newspapers in Oregon and Washington. I recorded 105 different named fishes, which I linked to 46 Linnaean taxa; 76 fishes were listed with price information in advertisements. I connected these fishes to market acquisition, and the remaining fishes to personal catch. I ranked the sixteen most prominent fishes by their price. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was the most expensive, and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) was the least expensive. Five ranked fishes were introduced; all of these were in the top 50% of the ranking. Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was advertised the most frequently, but was in the lower 50% of the ranking. Some fishes (e.g., common carp [Cyprinus carpio]) were heavily promoted by federal entities and private entrepreneurs, but viewed negatively by consumers. The zooarchaeological portion of my study focused on privies from the Esther Short neighborhood (Vancouver, WA), which, between 1880 and 1910, was a predominantly middle- and working-class community, occupied by people of European ancestry. The fish fauna (total NISP: 1,282) had previously been documented by Krey Easton. I reanalyzed ~30% of the fish remains to verify identifications; our results were highly correlated. Ten fish families representing 16 taxa were recorded in the assemblage. Both introduced fishes (n = 6 taxa) and native fishes (n = 10 taxa) were present. Catfish (Ictaluridae) dominated the assemblage (76%). Salmonids represented 15%. I recorded five new taxa from specimens previously noted as "unidentified". I documented body part representation and butchering marks to establish the fish portions Esther Short residents acquired. Finally, I compared archaeofaunal fish representation against the fish rank obtained from archival research. Residents acquired fishes both as market purchases and through personal catch. Eight fish taxa in the assemblage represented market purchases. Four were nonmarket fishes. An additional four could represent either market or nonmarket fishes. Nine taxa recovered from the neighborhood were also fishes included in the ranking. Neighborhood residents were predominantly eating low-cost purchased catfish heads, which were likely incorporated into soups, stews, or chowders. I found some evidence for higher-cost purchases and fish steaks, which I loosely connected to conspicuous consumerism. Evidence of personal catch (sport and subsistence angling) illustrates agency and potential resistance to the systemic Victorian model, in which the middle class generally did not participate in such activities. My thesis shows that interpreting fish use provides valuable insights into historical-era consumer choice and agency. On a systemic level, fish use was driven by sources of authority and monied interests. Expression of identity was visible in structural responses to systemic forces, both through consumer choice within the markets, and rejection of the market economy. Fish use in the Esther Short neighborhood showed some household patterns of "purchasing within one's means", as well as several expressions of agency that conformed to or rejected Victorian-era ideals.

Wright, Patria Isabel. "On Man, on Nature, and on Human Life: William Knight's Life of William Wordsworth and the Invention of "Home at Grasmere"." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3975.

Full text

Abstract:

Victorian scholar William Knight remains one of the most prolific Wordsworth scholars of the nineteenth century. His many publications helped establish Wordsworth's positive Victorian reputation that twentieth and twenty-first century scholars inherited. My particular focus is how Knight's 1889 inclusion of "Home at Grasmere" in his Life of William Wordsworth, rather than in his chronological sequencing of the poems, establishes a way to read the poem as a biographical artifact for his late-Victorian audience. Knight's detailed account of the poet's life, often told through letters and journal accounts, provides more contexts-including Dorothy's journal entries and correspondence of the early 1800s-to understand the poem than MacMillan's 1888 stand-alone edition of the poem (whose pre-emptive publication caused a small debate in 1888-89). Knight presents "Home at Grasmere" as a document of Wordsworth's personal experience and development as grounded in the Lake District. Analyzing the ways Knight's editorial decisions-both for his biography as a whole and his placement of "Home at Grasmere" within it-shape the initial reception of "Home at Grasmere" allows me to enrich the conversation about Wordsworth and the Victorian Age. Currently scholarship connecting Knight and Wordsworth remains sparser than other areas of Wordsworth commentary. However, several scholars have explored the connections between the two, and I augment their arguments by showing how Knight's invention of the poem creates an essential part of the "Home at Grasmere" archive-a term Jacques Derrida uses to describe a place or idea that houses important artifacts and determines the power of the knowledge it preserves. I argue this by showing that Knight's editorial decisions embody the characteristics of an archon-keeper or preserver of archival material-as he creates the way to read the poem as a biographical artifact while also responding to Wordsworth's own beliefs about the poetry and biographical theory. Knight's archival contribution allows Victorians to view the poem as a product of Wordsworth's developing poetic genius and helps establish Wordsworth as the great Romantic poet.

Abstract:

Articulant la question de l’existence d’une « région diplomatique », espace culturel saisi à travers les pratiques de l’écrit documentaire, avec celle de l’émergence de centres d’écriture, cette enquête met en évidence dans la Provence des Xe et XIe siècles, une affirmation progressive et contrastée des institutions ecclésiastiques dans l’écrit diplomatique. Par la circulation des modèles et des hommes, la Provence occidentale avait constitué, entre 950 et 1010 environ, un réseau partageant des pratiques communes. Le début du XIe siècle a vu une rupture par le déclin rapide de la diplomatique entre particuliers et la disparition des scribes à la clientèle multiple actifs dans les cités. Contrôlant davantage la rédaction des actes dans la première moitié du XIe siècle, les centres d’écritures n’ont pas infléchi le formulaire de la même manière. Développant une diplomatique profondément originale, Saint-Victor de Marseille a été le monastère le plus enclin à recourir à des formes ornées, par la rhétorique des préambules et les discours pastoraux qui valorisaient l’aumône des aristocrates. Au milieu du XIe siècle, une seconde rupture apparaît à Saint-Victor, par un abandon des formes maison au profit d’un formulaire simplifié. Cette forte propension victorine à décider du profil des actes apparaît comme une attention à la valeur de média de l’acte, par ailleurs tangible par les utilisations des archives et leur valorisation par le classement et la compilation du grand cartulaire
By the articulation of two main issues, i. e. the existence of a "diplomatic area" understood as a cultural space delimited through the practices of document writing, and the development of centers of writing, this study highlights the increasingly importance and contrasting influence of the ecclesiastical institutions on the diplomatic writing in Provence in the 10th and 11th centuries. The circulation of men and formulaic patterns made of western Provence, from about 950 to 1010, a network that allowed the spreading of common practices. In the early 11th century, one sees a break in this evolution as a consequence of the rapid decline of the use of diplomatics for private interactions and the disappearance of scribes who used to have a large clientele in the cities. Thanks to a better managing of the writing of documents in the first half of the 11th century, the scriptoria have not modified in the same way the formulaic patterns. The scribes of the abbey of Saint-Victor of Marseilles developed a highly original diplomatic practice based on stylistic and rhetorical devices, which are reflected in the preambles and the pastoral references praising the alms of aristocratic families. A second break with the traditions occurred at Saint-Victor in the middle of the 11th century, when the home-made formulas were replaced by simplified ones. The care Saint-Victor took of the appearance of the documents shows a special concern for the media feature of the document, which is also apparent in the use of archives and their valorization through the classification of charters and the compilation of a large cartulary

Abstract:

Faubourgs de Bruxelles. Boulevards de Verviers. Quelle(s) réalité(s) ?Quelle(s) relation(s) ?

Pour les deux villes industrielles, le XIXe siècle a notamment été celui de l’expansion urbaine, au-delà des limites séculaires. Ce développement s’est matérialisé par des nouvelles voies de communication et des nouvelles bâtisses, dont les autorités publiques ont vu la nécessité de planifier l’organisation. Elles ont alors mis en place les moyens législatifs, humains et financiers pour maîtriser cette extension.

En partant de la fonction administrative appelée « inspecteur voyer des faubourgs de Bruxelles », une première partie de l’étude montre qu’à Bruxelles, capitale de la jeune Belgique, le service, le territoire, la mission de cet agent public, constituent une réelle particularité dans l’appareil administratif de la Province de Brabant.

En s’intéressant à l’évolution de cette fonction depuis son institution jusqu’à sa suppression, on découvre, non seulement un renforcement de cette originalité, mais on trouve aussi les rôle(s) et influence(s) qu’ont pu avoir les titulaires successifs. Parmi ceux-ci, il en est un qui a œuvré sur une longue période, de 1858 à 1904 :c’est Victor Besme. Il est bien connu des urbanistes comme auteur d’un plan d’ensemble qui a structuré le tissu urbain de la première couronne bruxelloise. Il est moins connu comme « électron libre » du « système voyer » qui s’est installé et confirmé dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Il est quasi inconnu comme ayant contribué à l’agrandissement de Verviers, à son « âge d’or ».

La notoriété acquise par l’inspecteur Besme à Bruxelles a conduit les autorités verviétoises à faire appel à ses services pour débloquer une situation devenue inextricable dans la cité lainière. En peu de temps, son analyse et le projet qu’il dépose font taire les dissensions et ouvrent la voie à la réalisation des rues d’un premier quartier, celui de l’Immobilière. Les relations qu’il noue à Verviers, la connaissance qu’il a des arcanes administratifs belges, permettent à Besme de déployer ses compétences également dans d’autres quartiers (Hanlet-Peltzer, Ile Adam) et de porter plusieurs casquettes, le plaçant parfois en équilibre entre la défense de l’intérêt général et celle de l’intérêt particulier, si pas de son intérêt personnel. C’est ainsi que le dossier des tramways verviétois fait en quelque sorte la synthèse de ces multiples postures.

Au final, on aura découvert deux villes différentes mais néanmoins comparables et même à rapprocher à certains égards, notamment pour ce qui est des préoccupations publiques de l’époque (assainissement, communication, extension). En examinant plus attentivement les éléments factuels, on aura appris à mieux connaître un homme multi-facettes, un « célèbre inconnu », dont l’itinéraire dans ces deux villes nous instruit sur la complexité qui se cache derrière des raccourcis. On aura aussi confirmé combien les mises en contexte, les liens et enchaînements, combien les particularités et les influences sont importants à étudier en urbanisme (et en architecture) car ils révèlent non seulement les lieux et les faits, mais font apparaître les systèmes, les structures et donnent un éclairage aux hommes qui les établissent, les occupent et les manœuvrent.

Abstract:

L’île déserte constitue un motif privilégié de la littérature d’aventures, une des marques de fabrique du genre en réalité, et il s’agit de comprendre l’intérêt littéraire qu’il revêt, en déterminant la spécificité de ce lieu et des œuvres qui s’y rattachent, afin de définir leurs codes et leurs motifs typiques ainsi que l’évolution de ces derniers dans l’histoire littéraire. Cette thèse s’intéresse en particulier à la mutation que traversent cet espace et ce genre au tournant du XIXe siècle, notamment chez Stevenson, Conrad et Wells. L’ambition de ce travail est ainsi de montrer que l’île est pour ces auteurs bien plus qu’un décor : elle constitue en outre une sorte de laboratoire littéraire, un lieu où s’élabore l’écriture utopique, encore à venir. En effet, bien que l’île déserte soit un espace littéraire surcodé et surdéterminé, il est également le lieu où tout semble possible tant en termes d’aventure que d’écriture : une sorte de brèche, hors de l’espace-temps, propice à la construction d’une autre réalité. Entre stabilité et flottement, utopie et réalité, l’île est à la fois un lieu d’ancrage, établi scientifiquement, mais aussi un lieu qui semble parfois flottant et indéterminé, qui apparaît et disparaît de la carte : un lieu de tension entre le réel et l’imaginaire, le moi et l’autre, le centre et la périphérie. Partant, cette thèse vise à évaluer dans quelle mesure la littérature d’aventures peut être déterminée par la spécificité de ce chronotope insulaire, et si réciproquement l’aventure donne également forme à l’île, créant de ce fait un sous-genre spécifique que nous appelons l’aventure insulaire. Il s’agit ainsi d’analyser l’impact de l’évolution de ce chronotope sur la poétique aventureuse de nos trois auteurs au tournant du siècle, par le biais d’une approche géocritique et géopoétique de leurs œuvres. Cette approche méthodologique originale a pour objet d’étudier les liens qui unissent espace et littérature, et permet ainsi d’élaborer une géographie littéraire et même une géopoétique de l’aventure insulaire, en montrant qu’il existe un certain isomorphisme entre espace insulaire et forme littéraire
The desert island is one of the central motifs of the adventure novel, and the objective of this doctoral thesis is to understand why it is so crucial to the definition of this genre, by determining the specificity of this place and of the works that resort to it, in order to define their particular codes and motifs, as well as their evolution throughout literary history. It focuses in particular on the mutation undergone by this genre and this space at the turn of the 19th century, especially in the works of Stevenson, Conrad and Wells. It aims to show that the island is much more than a simple setting: that it actually constitutes a literary laboratory, where a utopic form of writing can be developed. Indeed, although the desert island is an extremely coded and overdetermined literary space, it is also paradoxically a place where everything seems to be possible in terms of adventure as well as of writing: some sort of breach, out of space-time, conducive to the creation of a new reality. Between stability and wavering, utopia and reality, the island is simultaneously a scientifically established anchorage point, and a place that sometimes seems to be particularly fleeting, appearing and disappearing from the map: a contact zone between the real and the imaginary, the self and the other, the centre and the periphery. Therefore, this dissertation aims to assess to what extent adventure literature is shaped by the specificity of the island chronotope, and conversely, how adventure shapes the island’s contours, thus creating a new sub-genre that we call insular adventure. It more specifically analyses the impact of this chronotope’s evolution on the three authors’ poetics of adventure at the turn of the century, relying on a geocritical and a geopoetic approach of their works. This new methodology allows us to study the link between space and literature and to draw the outlines of a literary geography or a geopoetics of insular adventure, showing that there is indeed a certain isomorphism between the insular space and the literary form

Abstract:

While much has been written on the Australian film and television industry, little has been presented by actual producers, filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion, synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful. The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. Within these two voices are three layers against which this history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form the vertical structure within which industry issues are discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’. Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has depended on government support through subsidy, funding mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and legislative provisions. This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding them with the determinants of the market and funding, and immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.
