• W64094515 abstract "fj' ominique Desanti has been a mentor and inspiration to me since the late 1960s £J at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she joined the French Department as a Visiting Professor. Then as now, I was in thrall to her charismatic intellect and prodigious literary output which, even at mid-career, included novels, biographies, journalism, scholarly articles and essays: her immersion as an insider in the transformative political events of the twentieth century in which I longed to participate accorded her near-mythic status. As a professor, her high expectations for analytic, scholarly work seemed to be predicated on a conviction that academic achievement represents only one component of life, and her extraordinary intimacy with the currents of international politics, history and culture only enhanced her admiration and affection for those tumultuous times in our university life. At UCLA, both in her seminar on Simone de Beauvoir and in our frequent contacts outside of class, she knowingly drew me and my colleagues to a higher level of reflection than we had thought possible. She has remained ever since an iconic image, informing who I became as an academic and as an individual in ways she might, I suspect, be surprised to realize. Her vitality, enduring commitment to her work, and acuity of vision (the seeming paradox, for example, of her insistence that she had never felt the need for children despite her love for them) have shaped and mirrored, in uncanny ways, the directions my own life was to take. Alternating layers of transparency and concealment, her life and history reveal the fierce conflicts and contradictions between dependence and liberty, loyalty and autonomy that animate her work. The woman who emerges is nothing if not complex. Such mentoring, however unacknowledged or imperfectly understood, was to be indispensable to my formation as a professional woman: by integrating and introjecting the mentor's entire being, not only her achievements in the world, the female student begins to envision herself creatively through and recognize herself in the other. We were privileged to engage with a professor who was herself searching for answers to the complicated historical and political upheavals that had marked the course of her own life. She was explicit perhaps because of her background as a journalist in her insistence that students be thoroughly familiar with texts and historical contexts, and that we do close readings of the material before writing what others might more readily have accepted as creative criticism.1 Through her presence, conversation, teaching, and friendship, Dominique offered us the opportunity to connect deeply with a passionately engaged intellectual, urging us to profiter de la beaute naturelle californienne et de la culture francaise. She is a vector of cultural transmission, a witness to her times as demonstrated in her recent memoir, Ce que le siecle m 'a dit and a unique intergenerational authority." @default.
