Madame Jean Bloch and Her Children, second version (1930) by Edouard Vuillard

[dixvinsblog]

Haïkus –Jean-Richard Bloch (1884 – 1947) 

La pie, sa queue droiteAtterrit, fait trois bonds,Se pose et attend. Dans le vent du soirLe corbeau retardataireCroasse et se hâte. Le piano se taitEt chacun sur sa figureA son propre spectre Nickel, palissandreRoulis allongé des yachtsTramway de Paris.

Curious about this since the original poll by @wasted-my-time was only 24 hours and I want to include only comics I've personally been recommended by my USAmerican friends.

Honorable mention since it didn't fit on the poll list: Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche, which I chose to exclude since there are literally only 5 albums in English and I had to cut one of them

Small edit for a common question!

What’s BD? - BD = Bande Dessinée = comics (in the French language). Generally (in English anyway) comics are referred to by their language of origin (ie “manga” for Japanese comics). This is because of shared tropes, references, cultural material, art styles, etc. This does NOT mean that they��re all from France! Just that they’re all written in French!

Asterix and Blueberry are from France; Lucky Luke, Tintin, Spirou & Fantasio, Gaston, the Smurfs, and JKJ Bloche are all Belgian; Yakari is Swiss; and Blacksad is made by Spanish creators but written in French for a French audience and published in France

The Myth of Mills: Bridging Antiquity and Medieval Innovation

Jean Gimpel and Marc Bloch were instrumental in popularising the notion that, although invented in ancient times, watermills were ‘medieval in the era of their true expansion.’

What I read in 2024

Non-Fiction

History and Class Consciousness (1923) by Georg Lukács – okay, I didn't finish this book. BUT, I'm still mentioning it because the 80-ish pages I did read were so terribly influential on me that I couldn't not include it. Considered one of the foundational texts of 'Western Marxism', the first three essays (especially the one on 'Class Consciousness') show just how dynamic historical materialism can be.

'Theses on the Philosophy of History' (1940), and 'The Author as Producer' (1934) by Walter Benjamin – I read in a John Berger piece that Benjamin wanted to compose a book made up entirely of quotations. I think about that a lot.

Marxism and Form (1971) by Fredric Jameson – Jameson's account of the aesthetic theories of Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, Bloch, Lukács, and Sartre, plus an extended account of what dialectical criticism is and can be. (That last chapter is an expansion of his excellent 'Metacommentary' essay which you should read right now.)

Marxist Modernism (2024) by Gillian Rose – A transcript of Rose's 1979 lectures on Frankfurt School critical theory from Lukács to Adorno by way of Benjamin, Bloch, and Brecht. The lecture format makes it far more approachable than Marxism and Form but necessarily more simplistic. Regardless, Rose does a phenomenal job contextualising every theory discussed, outlining the unifying threads that might not be evident when approaching each thinker individually.

The Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism by Rodney Hilton and others – Collecting the 1950s transition debate and complementary material. All your favourites are here: Sweezy, Dobb, Hilton, Hill, Lefebvre, Hobsbawm. I particularly loved the essay by Kohachiro Takahashi.

A Singular Modernity (2002) by Fredric Jameson – A rigorous theorisation of 'modernity' and 'modernism'. All your favourites are closet dialecticians. I devoured this in a week, so good.

Fiction

Guards! Guards! (1989) by Terry Pratchett – My second Discworld novel after having read The Colour of Magic 5 years ago. A joy to read.

Notebook of a Return to the Native Land (1939) by Aimé Césaire – A long poem tracing the coming-into-consciousness of an anti-colonial subject. Rich with history and anger. 'I would go to this land of mine and I would say to it: "Embrace me without fear ... And if all I can do is speak, it is for you I shall speak."'

Hard to Be a God (1964) by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky – Future communist spacemen observe a planet whose civilisation is stuck in its Middle Ages (or, more accurately, backsliding into quasi-fascist reaction). A favourite, feels like it was written specifically for me.

The Tombs of Atuan (1971), The Farthest Shore (1972) by Ursula K. Le Guin – The second and third books of Earthsea. Tombs was excellent, probably the high point of the trilogy, or at least the only novel I felt was truly subversive of contemporary fantasy. The Farthest Shore I very much liked, but the narrative was far more conventional, if not conservative.

Mother Courage and Her Children (1939) by Bertolt Brecht – No one does it like him. I would do anything to be able to see the 2006 Meryl Streep production.

The City and the City (2009) by China Miéville – My first Miéville. This scratched a very specific itch for me, looking forward to when I have the time to start his New Crobuzon series.

Shadow & Claw (1980, 1981) by Gene Wolfe – The first half of the Book of the New Sun. A favourite, if not the favourite.

Melville (1941) by Jean Giono – Something between an essay and novella: a fictionalised account of Melville's time in London in 1849 and his decision to write Moby-Dick. I had very high hopes coming into this but it was not very great. Too hetero.

Heart of Darkness (1899) by Joseph Conrad – I quite enjoyed reading this so I say in the most neutral way possible that this was the longest hundred pages I've ever read.

Gardens of the Moon (1999) by Steven Erikson – The first book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I wanted a huge fantasy world to get invested in (googled 'books like Elden Ring') and this one stood out to me. Erikson's prose left a lot to be desired, but the worldbuilding and plot construction were great. I'll probably read one of these books a year; will provide a series overview in 2034.

Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) (2019) by Hazel Jane Plante – An elegy for a trans woman by a trans woman, told through encyclopaedia entries about her favourite (fictional) show. So much life packed into this short book.

To the Lighthouse (1927) by Virginia Woolf – A favourite. From this novel alone Woolf ranks among the best prose stylists I've read.

Bartleby, the Scrivener (1853) by Herman Melville – [edit, forgot to mention this one]

[invisible-pink-toast]

Yellowjackets as classic paintings - season 1

[eretzyisrael]

by NORMAN J.W. GODA

All of this made perfect sense to French Trotskyists and Maoists. Pro-Palestinian anti-Zionist organizations formed in France after the Six-Day War. They included university students who styled themselves as revolutionaries. Using the language of anti-colonialism still fresh from France’s ill-fated attempt to retain Algeria, these organizations also borrowed the legacy of the French Resistance, neatly turning the Israelis into the Nazis. French keffiyeh-wearing Communists complained of Jewish press control. “Palestine solidarity” events included distribution of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. As Jewish writer Gérard Rosenthal put it in early 1970, “The problem of Israel is becoming a national problem.” Israel’s seasoned ambassador Asher Ben-Natan, who arrived in Paris in 1970, noted that relations with France had hit difficulties because “there exists also in France elements that have suddenly adopted anti-Israel attitudes.”

How did France’s Jews respond? By asserting their Jewishness without sacrificing their claim to France’s promise of universal dignity. “The world,” said Meïr Waintrater, the editor of the Jewish monthly L’Arche, in April 1970, “only likes dead Jews. . . . It is impossible today to open a newspaper without finding an article [that] gives Jews advice — which curiously resembles orders — on how to be Jewish or how to be French.” Later, in 1977, filmmaker Claude Lanzmann asked, “Why must the Jews feel obligated after Auschwitz to speak in [polite] language? To prove that they are really French? This language . . . is from the time of Dreyfus! It is the language [from] before the creation of Israel! If we are to protest, I ask that we do so as Jews!”

The chief vehicle of the French-Jewish campaign was the International League against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA), formed in 1927 in reaction to the dreadful treatment of Jews in Eastern Europe after World War I. After World War II, LICRA countered racism as well, monitoring everything from apartheid in South Africa to the civil rights movement in the United States to the war in Vietnam to the treatment of Arab workers in France. For French Jews, anti-antisemitism and the fight against racism were both part of the struggle for human dignity. LICRA saw no contradiction between opposing racism and advocating the safety of the State of Israel. If the world was divided, it was not between the oppressors and the oppressed. It was divided into those whose rights to safety were respected and those whose rights were not.

LICRA altered its view on de Gaulle. He was still the man who, on June 18, 1940, had called for resistance to the Germans in the name of the universalism France represented. As LICRA president and former Gaullist intelligence officer Jean Pierre-Bloch put it, “We will never forget.” But Pierre-Bloch also noted publicly that de Gaulle “is betraying the Franco-Israeli friendship, not to [help] the Arab people, but to support the potentates who rule these people to their great detriment.” Understanding that the French policy encouraged Arab extremists to hold out for Israel’s destruction rather than work for peace, LICRA also led demonstrations of Jews and non-Jews in Paris and other cities against what Pierre-Bloch called “the scandalous embargo.” Meanwhile LICRA called for a Palestinian state — but without the PLO, whose terror operations disqualified it from any human-rights struggle.

LICRA’s writers, Jews and non-Jews, also tried to expose the antisemitic nature of anti-Zionism in their newspaper Le Droit de vivre. Didier Aubourg, who worked for Judeo-Christian amity in France, wrote in March 1970, “Of all the forces that threaten Israel, the Arab armies are far from the most fearsome. The most relentless enemy . . . is indeed antisemitism, the old antisemitism that no longer dares to say its name, but which, rebaptized as anti-Zionism, has never lost its murderous virulence.” Former member of the Resistance, writer, and curator Jean Cassou was more direct. Anti-Zionism, he said, was “a wonderful invention,” because it “allows everyone to be an antisemite in good conscience from now on.”

As for the PLO’s mask of humanism and progressivism, philosopher Anne Matalon noted in the spring of 1968 that “one would be justified in thinking” that the PLO “would recognize . . . the Israeli people.” Instead, the PLO resembled “a capricious child or psychopath” who insisted that history could be turned back. Could the PLO really pose as revolutionary? Jacques Givet, whose family was murdered in Auschwitz and who narrowly escaped death by jumping from a deportation train, said no. “Any apology for al-Fatah, however veiled,” he wrote in March 1969, referring to the PLO’s main group, “is by necessity an apology for genocide.” Unlike the anti-colonial terror in Algiers, Givet argued, “Free Palestine” was little more than a slogan wrapped in pseudo-revolutionary imagery to justify Israel’s destruction and the killing of Jews. François Musard, a member of the Jewish Resistance, identified Palestinian terror as “defiance of the most elementary rules of civilization.” It “strikes blindly in theaters, in markets, among innocent populations where their victims are more often women and children. It wants nothing more than ‘to kill a Jew.’”

Ce matin, François Morel a écrit une lettre pour Valérie Lemercier Chère Valérie Lemercier, Je vous écris cette lettre que je ne vais pas poster vu que je vais directement vous la lire ce matin. Moi, ça m’économise un timbre et peut-être ça fera parler de votre film Aline, qui sans doute n’en a pas besoin, mais quand même le bouche à oreille, c’est encore la manière la plus efficace d’inciter à partager ce qu’on aime et vu que je suis une bouche derrière un micro qui parle à des oreilles qui écoutent la radio, ce serait bête de ne pas en profiter étant donné que je voudrais que tout le monde aille voir votre film vu qu’il est beau, tellement drôle et tellement bouleversant, tellement populaire et tellement singulier.  Valérie, cette chronique n’est pas un exercice de copinage, je vous connais sans vous connaître, je vous ai découvert il y a de ça une trentaine d’année, quand nous étions dans les studios de Boulogne, dirigés par Jean-Michel Ribes, vous étiez Lady Palace et j’étais Alfred le Groom. Je sais, ça ne rajeunit personne. Depuis, nous nous sommes peu vus. Moi, j’allais voir vos spectacles et chaque fois j’étais scié, par votre inspiration, vos talents multiples, votre culot. La dernière fois, c’était au Châtelet, vous traversiez le plateau avec une valise à roulettes et c’était beau comme un dessin de Sempé. Hier, je suis allé vous voir dans Aline. Avant vous, je crois, de ma vie je n’avais jamais pensé à Céline Dion et puis vous m’avez présenté à Aline Dieu et depuis je crois en Dion. Ce que vous avez tourné, ce n’est pas un biopic parce que pendant tout le film on ne voit que vous, Valérie Lemercier. Ce que vous avez filmé, ce n’est jamais une parodie, vous ne vous moquez jamais, vous rigolez pourtant comme on rigole avec ceux qu’on aime.  On ne sait pas si vous êtes Aline ou Céline ou Valérie, ou les trois à la fois mais ça n’a aucune importance. C’est un truc à part que vous avez réalisé, qui parle de plein de choses, de la volonté de chanter qui se confond avec le désir de vivre, du courage, de la famille, du couple, des enfants, de la naïveté, de l’amour, de la vie. Vous êtes toujours là où on ne vous attend pas Il faudrait dire du bien de chaque actrice, de chaque acteur qui vous entoure, de Sylvain Marcel, de Danielle Fichaud, de Roc La Fortune, de Jean-Noël Brouté, d’Elsa Tauveron, de tous les autres, il faudrait citer aussi le nom de la coiffeuse, de la costumière. J’espère que les spectateurs qui iront voir Aline resteront jusqu’au bout du générique en signe de reconnaissance à tous ceux qui ont œuvré pour votre film.  C’est un film tellement épatant, tendre, drôle mais jamais moqueur, complétement premier degré et intégralement subtil. C’est un film France Inter, Laurence Bloch s’engage à rembourser chaque spectateur à qui le film, par erreur, ne plairait pas. Valérie, je vous embrasse. Peut-être qu’on se tutoie, auquel cas, je t’embrasse.

Merci François

Haïkus –Jean-Richard Bloch (1884 - 1947)

Les trois lampes, pareillesA trois paupières qui se lèventS ‘allument trois fois. Autour de la maisonDans la nuit le vent d’hiverChante sur deux notes. Geste de détresseAu bout d ‘un sillon trempéLa charrue a l ‘aube L ‘arrière du tramwayFait jaillir et se gonflerUne vague de pavés. Tramway Lisbonne Verticale tissée, Treillage de bronze, vigilance froide, La Tour Eiffel.
