• W4379622016 abstract "220 Reviews tribution to the study of narrative. The diverse meanings of the expression 'telling performances'?the telling of performance, the performance of telling, the fact that some performances are particularly 'telling'?are investigated in various ways by the differentcontributors. The firstfive essays are the most strictly narratological, and move from a useful theoretical overview, where Gerald Prince takes stock of recent thinking on narrativity,to consideration ofthe vicissitudes ofplot in a number ofspeci? ficworks. In the works featured there is a diversity ofboth time (although the twentieth century predominates, there is a discussion of Emile Gaboriau's early detective novel Le Crime d'Orcival) and genre (while most of the narratives are textual, Naomi Segal 's exploration of how adulterous triangles are inflected by gender culminates in the analysis ofthe filmsFatal Attraction and The Piano). The next section focuses on how performances of various kinds, notably erotic, are narrated. The contributions here are perhaps the most uneven. In particular, Peter Cryle's survey of erotic narrative is marred by his repeated association of body with truthand especially by his suggestion that there can be an 'unmediated utterance of bodily truth' (p. 128), a suggestion that seems furthermore at odds with the relationship between telling and performance propounded by so many of the other contributors. On the other hand, Nathaniel Wing's discussion of Gautier'sMademoisellede Maupin, Julie Solomon's piece on La Vagabonde, which merits inclusion in any bibliography on this much-studied text, and Anne Freadman's 'Hair?And How to Do It', a compelling example of cultural com? mentary, are truly excellent articles which deserve a greater readership than this kind ofcollection tends to attract. Maclean's work is a constant reference formost, ifnot all, ofthe contributors. But perhaps the book's own most telling performance is the intro? duction, unsigned but presumably written by the three editors. This self-effacement, along with a number of other elements, such as the apposite use of the exclamation mark or the final analysis of Quintilian's poignant tribute to his son, is one of the rea? sons why,notwithstandingits declared desire to eulogize the work rather than to purge the pain of the person's passing, the introduction succeeds in conveying?at least to this reviewer?a stark sense of griefat Maclean's loss. Perhaps the very factthat itjolts the reader into realizing how rare it is fora book presenting itselfin memoriam actually to touch its reader is proof that this tribute performsas well as tellsan act of mourning. University College Dublin Mairead Hanrahan Robert Antelme: Humanity, Community, Testimony. By Martin Crowley. (Re? search Monographs in French Studies, 15) Oxford: Legenda. 2003. xii+111 pp. ?19.50. ISBN 1-900755-80-7. Martin Crowley's study offers a sensitive and timely account of Robert Antelme's important but surprisingly often neglected 1947 'memoir', L'Espece humaine, which emerged out of his experiences as a prisoner in various Nazi concentration camps. This monograph comprises three chapters, each addressing one of the themes in the title?humanity, community, and testimony?through close readings of Antelme's writings. Bridging these chapters are sections entitled 'Readings', which explore pos? sible connections between Antelme and later European thinkers, (re)locating Antelme as an important figure within a tradition of post-war European philosophy. L'Espece humaine is thus shown to anticipate and also, crucially, to resist contemporary notions of humanity, community, solidarity, and testimony, key concerns of post-war Euro? pean thought. Crowley's readings are careful and perceptive, drawing out the complexities of Antelme's thought and highlighting its political implications. He warns against reading Antelme's theorization of humanity as indestructible and indivisible in positive terms: for Antelme, humanity is shown to be indestructible only when MLRy ioo.i, 2005 221 it is threatened with destruction, figured as an irreducible residue which emerges at the point where it is most contested. If this notion of a fragile yet indestructible humanity that survives the death of the human being finds resonances in the images of spectrality and of ash scattered through the work of thinkers such as Blanchot, Derrida, and Agemben, Crowley also, crucially, unpicks the irreducible differences between their ideas and those..." @default.
