Life of a Fatso : Young, Fat and Vulnerable in a Scandinavian Society of Perfection
2020
This chapter offers a close reading of the young adult novel Miss by Synne Sun Loes (2017). The story is about 16-year-old Ea who is at the point of dropping out of school. The title carries a double reference—on the one hand, to Ea’s feeling of being a mis(s)fit and, on the other hand, to her critique of her best friend turning into a ‘Little Miss Perfect’. The analysis discusses two main questions: What has made this teenager from a well-off family so vulnerable? and How is her resistance expressed? The analysis explores how Ea positions herself as an outsider through bodily and social protest, making her both vulnerable and strong, and discusses this in relation to Judith Butler’s (2016)…
« Mal vu mal dit »
2021
Tandis que, dans la mythologie nationale et scolaire, la littérature du siècle de Louis XIV a longtemps été considérée comme un sommet absolu, et qu’à l’inverse les auteurs du xixe siècle ont souvent vécu la création comme un échec obligé au regard de leurs rêves, de nombreux écrivains modernes ont perçu l’idéal de perfection comme un pur artifice, se réconciliant ainsi avec ce moment de vérité qu’est l’imperfection, et donc avec la finitude.
Boulet
2021
Boulet est connu dans son milieu comme un virtuose du dessin. Pourtant, il se plait à exposer des « dossiers de la honte », qui mettent en avant ses imperfections. Ce faisant, il renoue avec une longue tradition qui voit dans la bande dessinée un « art mineur », en position de modestie revendiquée. Cette tradition, notamment ancrée dans les écrits théoriques de Rodolphe Töpffer, associe conscience de l’imperfection et des forces que porte cette imperfection, réponse à la perfection de l’œil divin.

Perfection et interprétation dans The Remains of the Day (Kazuo Ishiguro, James Ivory), ou les débordements génériques de l'obsession
2010
Si les objets des obsessions de Stevens dans The Remains of the Day sont nombreux, celles-ci semblent toutes tendre vers un seul et même objectif : la perfection et l'humilité. Avec obstination et acharnement, Stevens sert son employeur, heureuse victime d'une emprise qui l'assiège autant qu'elle le définit. Ces premières formes d'obsession seront d'abord reliées à l'excès d'anglicité qui parcourt le roman, excès dont on s'efforcera de comprendre la logique de débordement comme étant à l'origine des stratégies vocales et visuelles de contrôle de Stevens, de l'écriture d'Ishiguro et de la mise en scène de James Ivory dans son adaptation filmique. Les obsessions premières de Stevens en cachen…

The impact of two-dimensional perfectionism on burnout and eating disorders in young Finnish athletes : comparison between males and females
2014
Matilda Sorkkila, 2014. The impact of two-dimensional perfectionism on burnout and eating disorders in young Finnish athletes: comparison between males and females. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. 40 p. Even though it has been argued that perfectionistic strivings might be adaptive and perfectionistic concerns might be maladaptive in sports, only few studies have viewed these dimensions in relation to athletes’ mental health. Two mental health problems that have been found in elevated amounts in young elite athletes are burnout and eating disorders. It has been proposed that perfectionism might impact the development o…
Zalecenia i zachęty do życia doskonałego w korespondencji Grzegorza z Nazjanzu
2017
The text of the article is an analysis of Gregory of Nazianzus’ comments on Christian perfection. They were selected from his letters written in his family regions after returning from Constantinople, where he occupied for two years the position in the episcopal capital. It was a period of almost ten years of his life, until his death in 390, in which he contacted many people mainly through letters, because weak health prevented him from traveling frequently. The analysis of the letters showed that the threads containing recommendations, warnings, cautions, and encouragements were numerous in them. They have been divided in three categories of addresses, i.e. clergy and monks, lay people an…

Imperfections et hybridation générique dans « Les Employés » d’Honoré de Balzac
2020
L’imperfezione dell’essere umano e delle sue costruzioni sociali è al centro della Comédie humaine. Il presente articolo intende esplorare questo aspetto della produzione letteraria di Balzac attraverso l’analisi de Les Employés (1845), in cui la mediocrità del mondo burocratico viene esaminata in dettaglio. Nel romanzo, la mediocrità vince sul merito, ma la rappresentazione dell’imperfezione trascende la dimensione puramente narrativa: Les Employés è un grande laboratorio in cui l’ibridazione tra genere romanzesco e genere teatrale interroga i limiti della creazione letteraria. The imperfection of the human being and his social constructions is at the heart of the Comédie humaine. This art…
