Book excerpt: The 1933 killing by the Papin sisters of their mistress and her daughter was an act of unexampled violence by women against women, whose repercussions have been felt in French culture ever since. It received wide journalistic coverage at the time, and subsequently prominent literary figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Genet have dealt with the case, which has also formed the basis of a stage play (by Wendy Kesselmann) and films by Nico Papatakis, Nancy Meckler and Claude Chabrol. The case casts fascinating light on French provincial life between the wars, the role of women (especially unmarried ones) in French society, and French views of the criminal outsider. Its impact on psychoanalytic discourse, through the work first of Jacques Lacan, then of Francis Dupré and Marie-Magdeleine Lessana, has also been considerable, notably in its contribution to the development of the key notion of the mirror-phase. The almost obsessive recurrence of the case makes of it a fascinating prism through which to examine multiple aspects of recent French culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En cette soirée tragique du 2 février 1933, René Lancelin, notable du Mans, ne peut pénétrer à l’intérieur de son domicile. La maison est plongée dans le noir, la porte est verrouillée, et ni sa femme, ni sa fille, ni les deux bonnes, Christine et Léa Papin, ne répondent. Inquiet, il alerte la police, qui s’empresse d’ouvrir et découvre alors l’épouvantable drame : les corps ensanglantés de sa femme et sa fille gisent à l’étage. Les victimes sont atrocement défigurées, les corps lardés de plusieurs dizaines de coups de couteau. À l’étage, la chambre des bonnes est fermée à clef. Au fond de la pièce, les policiers découvrent, serrées l’une contre l’autre dans leur lit, l’œil hagard, les deux jeunes meurtrières. Démarre alors la ténébreuse affaire des sœurs Papin, qui va mobiliser pendant plusieurs mois l’opinion publique, la presse, les avocats, les juges, les experts psychiatriques pour essayer de comprendre la raison d’un tel acte et le pourquoi d’une telle violence. Le geste des deux sœurs était-il prémédité ? Étaient-elles ou non sous l’emprise de la folie ? Sophie Darblade-Mamouni nous raconte cette passionnante affaire qui a inspiré nombre de psychanalystes, d’écrivains et de cinéastes.

Download or read book Violette Noziere written by Sarah Maza and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an August evening in 1933, in a quiet, working-class neighborhood in Paris, eighteen-year-old Violette Nozière gave her mother and father glasses of barbiturate-laced "medication," which she told them had been prescribed by the family doctor; one of her parents died, the other barely survived. Almost immediately Violette’s act of "double parricide" became the most sensational private crime of the French interwar era—discussed and debated so passionately that it was compared to the Dreyfus Affair. Why would the beloved only child of respectable parents do such a thing? To understand the motives behind this crime and the reasons for its extraordinary impact, Sarah Maza delves into the abundant case records, re-creating the daily existence of Parisians whose lives were touched by the affair. This compulsively readable book brilliantly evokes the texture of life in 1930s Paris. It also makes an important argument about French society and culture while proposing new understandings of crime and social class in the years before World War II.

Download or read book Shared Madness - True Stories of Couples Who Kill written by Christopher Berry-Dee and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an extraordinary, but well-documented phenomenon--two people, who seem relatively harmless alone, team up, and the results are terrifyingly explosive. Such unfortunate unions have been behind some of the most shocking news stories of recent years. But what is it that makes couples like Myra Hindley and Ian Brady follow such a twisted path of sociopathic violence? He offers a rare, if uncomfortable, insight into the truth behind the headlines and exposes some of the most cold-blooded killers that the world has ever seen. Included are some well known cases, including the sickening murders committed by Fred and Rose West at their very own house of horror, 25 Cromwell Street. Other cases are more obscure, but equally fascinating, such as the story of Cynthia Coffman and James Gregory Marlow whose relationship led to three brutal murders. Every one of the 22 cases of shared madness is a uniquely revealing study, making this a must-read for anyone with an interest in true crime and criminal psychology.

Book excerpt: When Madame Lancelin and her daughter were killed by their maids, Christine and Lea Papin in the winter of 1933, France was simultaneously shocked and fascinated by the bizarre crime. The crime was especially interesting to the literary community, so much so that it was incorporated in various works of fiction. L'Affaire Papin: Stylisation Du Fait Divers examines how the case has been treated throughout history, and also examines what attracted Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Lacan, Jean Genet and Paul Houdyer to the case.

Download or read book Insane Passions written by Christine Coffman and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In France in 1933, two sisters, presumed to be lovers, murdered the women who employed them as maids. Known as “the Papin affair,” the incident inspired not only Jean Genet's 1947 The Maids but also an essay by Jacques Lacan that presents the sisters' crime as fueled by a narcissistic, homosexual drive that culminated in the assault. In this new investigation of the roots of the twentieth-century myth of the lesbian-as-madwoman, Christine Coffman argues that the female psychotic was the privileged object of Lacan’s effort to derive a revolutionary theory of subjectivity from the study of mental illness. Examining Lacan's early writings, French surrealism, Djuna Barnes’ Nightwood, and H.D.’s homoerotic fiction in light of feminist and queer theory, Insane Passions argues that the psychotic woman that fascinates modernist writers returns with a murderous vengeance in a number of late twentieth-century films—including Basic Instinct, Sister My Sister, Single White Female, and Murderous Maids. Marking the limit of social acceptability, the “psychotic lesbian” repeatedly appears as the screen onto which the violence and madness of twentieth-century life are projected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Time against Nation Time combines philosophical examinations of "Women's Time" by Julia Kristeva and "The Time of Thought" by Elizabeth Grosz with essays offering case studies of particular events, including Kelly Oliver's essay on the media coverage of the U.S. wars on terror in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and Betty Joseph's on the anticolonial uses of "women's time" in the creation of nineteenth-century Indian nationalism. Victoria Hesford and Lisa Diedrich juxtapose feminist time against nation time in order to consider temporalities that are at once "contrary" but also "close to" or "drawing toward" each other. As an untimely project, feminism necessarily operates in a different temporality from that of the nation. Against-ness is used to provoke a rupture, a momentary opening up of a disjuncture between the two that allows us to explore the possibilities of creating a space and time for feminists to think against the current of the preset moment. Feminist Time against Nation Time will appeal to all levels to students and scholars. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the concept of the everyday as a lever for social transformation The texts in this volume represent Kristin Ross’s attempt to think the question of the everyday across a range of discourses, practices and knowledges, from philosophy to history, from the visual arts to popular fiction, all the way to the forms taken by collective political action in the territorial struggles of today. If everyday life is, as many have come to believe, the ideal vantage point for an analysis of the social, it is also the crucial first step in its transformation. The volume opens with a return to Henri Lefebvre’s powerful attempt to use the everyday as both residue and resource, as the site of profound alienation and—by the same token—the site where all emancipatory initiatives and desires begin. The second section focuses on our attempts to represent our lived reality to ourselves in cultural forms, from painting and literature and film to an analysis of the contemporary transformations of the sub-genre most embedded in the deep superficiality of everyday life: detective fiction. The final section turns to present-day ecological occupations in the wake of the zad at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, and locates the everyday as a site for rich oppositional resources and immanent social creativity.
