    La curieuse récurrence de certains noms ou fragments de noms propres chez Molière, Marivaux ou Laclos n'est peut-être pas sans rapport avec ce qui, de significations latentes, habite leurs textes; en cette affaire les cadets n'oublient pas leurs aînés, les fils ne parviennent pas à oublier les pères. À partir du nom de Marian(n)e, on a donc tenté d'interroger la configuration affective et libidinale du roman de Marivaux, à l'aide notamment des concepts freudiens d'identification et de choix d'objet; ce qui conduit à analyser les aspects régressifs de cette aventure néo-familiale et la manière dont le siècle - et non Marivaux seul - tente de se tirer de l'inquiétante proximité du libidinal et de l'affectif. L'inceste évité, mais à quel prix?The odd recurrence of certain names or fragments of proper names in the works of Molière, Marivaux or Laclos may not be unrelated to latent meanings in their texts; in this regard, the young do not forget their elders, the offspring never manage to cast off their fathers. Starting with the name of Marian(n)e, this article seeks to explore the affective and libidinal configuration of Marivaux's novel with the help of the Freudian concepts of identification and object fixation. This leads us to an analysis of the regressive aspects of Marivaux's novel and of the way in which the age-and not just Marivaux-tried to extricate itself from the disquieting proximity of the libidinal and the affective. Incest is avoided, but at what cost

    René Démoris : Painting and classical beauties in the first half of the century. Statues are also alive. The art of the Rococo period, from La Fosse to Boucher in painting, had a strange reception in France ; it was violently attacked in the middle of the 18th Century, often considered in the 19th Century as the symbol of the frivolous aristocratic Enlightenment and sometimes later accused of being an art of enslave¬ ment abandoning the very purpose of art. We here try to analyse, in connection with a major reference for classical aesthetics — the relation to classical beauties as models — the position of artists who did not rebel against academic principles but who, by their practise, did in fact question the artistic ideology which developed from Du Bos to Diderot ; this ideology attributed certain social or moral aims to painting, a field in which writers wished to seize power and did in fact do so. The violence of the reactions to Rococo painting can be explained less by a relatively discreet immorality than by the latent critical charge of this artistic practice and its obsessions.Démoris René.

    René Démoris : Painting and science in the Enlightenment, the birth of an opposition. In France, the creation of the Académie royale de peinture in 1648 recognized painting's claims to nobility, founded on its connection with theory, thus allowing it to be counted among the liberal arts. But from the 1660s, artists grew suspicious of rational learning in an art which appeals largely to the imagination. This gap between the subject of art and that of science became more obvious in the 18th Century, when art became the preserve of sensibility. An aesthetics founded on identification gave painting a social mission and soon expected it to have a message. Art criticism, taken over by literature from 1747, tended to stay aloof from the specifically scientific spirit produced by the sensualist revolution. But there remained among a minority a slightly shameful fascination for the despised field of technique , which Diderot recognized on one occasion, in Chardin, as capable of achieving the sublime. This article tries to analyse some of the ways in which a religion of art was constructed.Démoris René. Peinture et science au siècle des Lumières. L'invention d'un clivage.

    Critique d’art et pathologie : Diderot et ses prédécesseurs face au corps malade

    Il ne s’agit ici que de présenter quelques réflexions sur ce qu’il en est de l’évocation du corps en situation pathologique dans la critique picturale des siècles classiques, notamment mais non exclusivement de Diderot, et en me limitant au domaine français. Je ne puis manquer d’autre part de voir dans le présent travail le prolongement ou le complément d’une étude antérieure sur Diderot et la cruauté en peinture, (publiée dans les Actes du Colloque International Diderot) où je tentais d’anal..

    Chardin ou la cuisine en peinture

    René Démoris : Chardin : cookery and painting. A Freudian enquiry into symbolic values of food in Chardin's painting. Most of his still-lifes concern either the preparation (things to be cooked, utensils) or the consumption (cooked things, fruit) of food. Objects are limited in number and many recur ; they are devoid of value, beauty belonging only to the picture as a whole. An analysis of La Raie — a bleeding object — reveals in various pictures the unconscious theme of harm done to the maternal body (oral-sadistic stage). Thus the world of cooking and eating induces feelings of repulsion and fascination ; this is also conjured up by the feminine domestic ritual of food, in the interior scenes. The symbolic equivalence of house and mother leads us to consider Chardin's still-lifes as a symbolic reparation (in M. Klein's sense) of the maternal body.Démoris René.
