GOLDSTEIN, CLAIRE (Miami U. of Ohio). The Sun King's Comets (1664 and 1680), Vision and Writing in Seventeenth-Century France. I consider two closely watched comet sightings at the end of the seventeenth century in France as a locus to study new kinds of gazes, gazes rapidly transforming with the popular accessibility of telescopes and optical treatises, rationalist philosophy and new prose genres. Comets provided an opportunity for individuals to articulate their understanding of "the order of things" — what may be observed and interpreted and thus assimilated into a coherent vision of the universe, and what remains extraordinary and mystified. Comets also enact a variety of theories regarding the circulation of bodies in space. These theories reveal shifting conceptions of the body politic, class and gender relations, and divine and monarchical power. I study the many different kinds of discourses (treatises, plays, court ballets, journalistic nouvelles, poetry, and sermons) occasioned by the two comets that coincided with decisive moments of the Sun King's reign. The matrix of ideas these readings reveal illuminates changing mentalités and provides a new way of contextualizing the emergence of new prose genres in this period, including Lafayette's psychological novel, that are structured by new modes of visuality.

Interdisciplinary study traces the radical changes that occurred in the understanding of the biological body and of human incarnation beginning in the first third of the seventeenth century. It is the first to examine the importance of that new corporeality in the determination of sensibility and passion in French culture of the seventeenth century. This study analyzes the development and deployment of the aesthetic body—that is, in its full etymological sense, a body whose principal function is the generation of affectivity—through an opening chapter on physiology to chapters on four major senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch). The study traces the intervention of the aesthetic body in representative cultural discourses: ethics, theatrical spectacle, rhetoric, artistic and moral judgment of "taste," and sociopolitical anthropology.
