Ubu roi, Cyrano de Bergerac et l'affaire Barrès : les trames intertextuelles d'une révolution avant-garde
2018
Overview
In 1921, André Breton organized a \"revolutionary tribunal\" to judge the égotiste turned nationalist Maurice Barrès. Despite its declared target however, the \"Affaire Barrès\"'s most startling revelation was the avant-garde's unwitting complicity with the reactionary arrière-garde, a relationship that becomes apparent in the intertextual networks that constitute the trial. As a theatrical event, the faux tribunal evoked Edmond Rostand's creation of Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) such that Alfred Jarry's avant-garde masterpiece Ubu roi (1896) appeared as a mere parody of the later play. As a political happening, the \"Affaire Barrès\" was a farce of the conspiracy theories surrounding the 1917 French army mutinies. In both cases, Breton and his followers denounced Dadaism's intransigent contradiction to translate the changing aesthetic and political stakes of the avant-garde into the terms of what would become Surrealism.
