Les monstres d’Aubrey Beardsley et le « grotesque darwinien » by Catherine Delyfer

“…The elusiveness and hybridity of fin-de-siècle identity are also captured in the various symbols late-Victorian artists created in order to represent themselves or their art : James Whistler’s signature butterfly, Odilon Redon’s foetuses and Aubrey Beardsley’s embryos are a few of the famous motifs which foreground the mutation and transformation processes which fascinated the imagination of Aesthetic and Decadent artists.

Les mémoires d’une automobile (pas) comme les autres. La Coccinelle VW et ses mises en histoire by Pierre LANNOY

“…The article then details four memorial channels by which the Beetle is given a history : a hagiographic channel, in which it becomes an object of passion, being unique in the automotive history ; an academic channel, in which it is seized as an object of research calling for epistemologically founded interpretations ; a political channel, in which the Beetle calls for moral judgments on the part of culturally situated individuals ; an iconic channel, transforming it in a semiotic object feeding aesthetic interpretations. The never-ending social practices which make these channels active give to the VW Beetle its mythic stuff and its peculiar place in the cultural landscape of Western societies.…”

Alienation, Adoption or Adaptation? Aestheticist Paintings by Women by Pamela Gerrish Nunn

“…With regard to Aestheticism as a literary trend, scholars working under the influence of feminism, from Elaine Showalter on, have restored female agency to the territory, re-instating the achievements of various women writers in shaping Aestheticism in its own time, while provoking a reassessment of its meanings and messages through this problematising of the authority of its traditional movers and shakers (Schaffer and Psomiades, Women and British Aestheticism, 1999; Schaffer, The Forgotten Female Aesthetes, 2000). The same has not occurred for the visual art of Aestheticism.To address the work of gender within Aestheticism, this paper proposes some specific works by women artists as characteristic of the style. …”
