This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intellectual portrait of Romain Rolland (1866-1944)--French novelist, musicologist, dramatist, and Nobel prizewinner in 1915--focuses on his experiments with political commitment against the backdrop of European history between the two world wars. Best known as a biographer of Beethoven and for his novel, Jean-Christophe, Rolland was one of those nonconforming writers who perceived a crisis of bourgeois society in Europe before the Great War, and who consciously worked to discredit and reshape that society in the interwar period. Analyzing Rolland's itinerary of engaged stands, David James Fisher clarifies aspects of European cultural history and helps decipher the ambiguities at the heart of all forms of intellectual engagement.Moving from text to context, Fisher organizes the book around a series of debates--Rolland's public and private collisions over specific committed stands--introducing the reader to the polemical style of French intellectual discourse and offering insight into what it means to be a responsible intellectual. Fisher presents Rolland's private ruminations, extensive research, and reexamination of the function and style of the French man of letters. He observes that Rolland experimented with five styles of commitment: oceanic mysticism linked to progressive, democratic politics; free thinking linked to antiwar dissent; pacifism and, ultimately, Gandhism; antifacism linked to anti-imperialism, antiracism, and all-out political resistance to fascism; and, most controversially, fellow traveling as a form of socialist humanism and the positive side of antifascism. Fisher views Rolland's engagement historically and critically, showing that engaged intellectuals of that time were neither naive propagandists nor dupes of political parties.David James Fisher makes a case for the committed writer and hopes to re-ignite the debate about commitment. For him, Romain Rolland sums up engagement in a striking, dialectical formula:

Book Synopsis The Enigma of the Oceanic Feeling by : William B. Parsons
Download or read book The Enigma of the Oceanic Feeling written by William B. Parsons and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the history of the psychoanalytic theory of mysticism, starting with the seminal correspondence between Freud and Romain Rolland concerning the concept of "oceanic feeling." Providing a corrective to current views which frame psychoanalysis as pathologizing mysticism, Parsons reveals the existence of three models entertained by Freud and Rolland: the classical reductive, ego-adaptive, and transformational (which allows for a transcendent dimension to mysticism). Then, reconstructing Rolland's personal mysticism (the "oceanic feeling") through texts and letters unavailable to Freud, Parsons argues that Freud misinterpreted the oceanic feeling. In offering a fresh interpretation of Rolland's mysticism, Parsons constructs a new dialogical approach for psychoanalytic theory of mysticism which integrates culture studies, developmental perspectives, and the deep epistemological and transcendent claims of the mystics.

Download or read book Shaw and Politics written by T. F. Evans and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaw's political activities and utterances touched virtually every major political issue of his time and spanned most of his adult life. In this collection, Bernard Crick assesses the extent of Shaw's influence as a political thinker, Stanley Weintraub describes Shaw's 1888-92 political speaking engagements at "Oxbridge," and James Woodfield looks at Widowers' Houses as "Comedy for Socialism's Sake." Norman Buchan, M.P., provides a present-day parliamentarian's view of Shaw's thoughts about parliamentary democracy. Leon H. Hugo explores Shaw's reactions to the politics of South Africa, and Patricia Pugh examines Shaw's role as an imperialist. Peter Archer, M.P., addresses Shaw and the Irish question. C. E. Hill traces Shaw's involvement with local government. John V. Antinori analyzes the "politics of personality" in Shaw's relationship with George Sylvester Viereck, and Michel W. Pharand focuses on the "politics of pacifism" in his discussion of Shaw and Romain Rolland. Eric Wallis introduces four reprinted contemporary responses to The Intelligent Woman's Guide, published in The Criterion in 1928, by Harold J. Laski, the Reverend M. C. D'Arcy, A. L. Rowse, and Kenneth Pickthorn. Also reprinted are the 1944 Spectator review by Walter Elliot of Everybody's Political What's What? and Shaw's reply. David Nathan explores Shaw's attitude toward the Jews, with emphasis on Geneva, and H. J. Fyrth examines Geneva in the context of international politics. The volume also contains reviews of six books relevant to Shaw studies, including one devoted to Shaw and Marx.
Download or read book Romain Rolland written by R. A. Francis and published by Berg 3pl. This book was released on 1999 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romain Rolland's life coincided closely with the span of the French Third Republic, an age of which he was an acute and critical observer. A mind combining an unusual breadth of sympathies with uncompromisingly lofty values and a novelist's eye for detail, his interests cover a wide range of areas - history, musicology, biography, politics, religion, the East - and his correspondence with both the famous and the obscure, is exceptionally rich. He is remembered for his plays on the French Revolution, his work on Beethoven, his novels, his biographies, his opposition to the First World War, his desperate attempts between the wars to reconcile Gandhism and Leninism and, during the Occupation, his nostalgia for the Catholic faith of his forbears. Drawing on the wealth of the unpublished Archives Romain Rolland, this book offers a fresh perspective on the events of an often turbulent life and traces the changing patterns of his thought, which disconcerted his friends by its constant evolution. Rolland's work is unified by a fierce desire for independence, an insistence that the psychological force of faith is more important than its content, by an obsession with historical process and by a constant musicianly quest for harmony, or the reconciliation of discords within a synthetic whole. The author attempts to do justice to every side of Romain Rolland's output, showing how each of his works in their diverse genres contributes to the overall thrust of his developing thought. Though covering his political thought, the author avoids over-stressing it, as much previous criticism has done, and gives due weight to the work of his last years, which so far has been very imperfectly studied.

Book Synopsis Generation Stalin by : Andrew Sobanet
Download or read book Generation Stalin written by Andrew Sobanet and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generation Stalin traces Joseph Stalin's rise as a dominant figure in French political culture from the 1930s through the 1950s. Andrew Sobanet brings to light the crucial role French writers played in building Stalin's cult of personality and in disseminating Stalinist propaganda in the international Communist sphere, including within the USSR. Based on a wide array of sources—literary, cinematic, historical, and archival—Generation Stalin situates in a broad cultural context the work of the most prominent intellectuals affiliated with the French Communist Party, including Goncourt winner Henri Barbusse, Nobel laureate Romain Rolland, renowned poet Paul Eluard, and canonical literary figure Louis Aragon. Generation Stalin arrives at a pivotal moment, with the Stalin cult and elements of Stalinist ideology resurgent in twenty-first-century Russia and authoritarianism on the rise around the world.
