In contrast to a supposedly critically-oriented Golden Age comedia, the first American- themed operas (the Purcells, Vivaldi, Rameau, Graun) have been interpreted as uncritical expressions of the so-called Black Legend. Nevertheless, this judgment ought to be tempered: on the one hand, the Spanish comedia is not as censorious as has been asserted; on the other hand, although these operas do praise American Indians, they do not systematically belittle the Spaniards. Finally, the notion itself of “Black Legend” should be questioned.

The abundant iconographic material generated by travel narratives not only constitutes a complement of the written text, but it also fulfils an undeniable aesthetic function. Based on representative examples of fifteen French travel writing, comprised between the 16th and the 19th centuries, this article will study the function and the evolution of image in those texts. First, it will focus on the representation, real and fictional, of places and people; then, it will look at scientific illustration and landscape; finally, it will reflect on the relationship between images and the written text in this literary genre.

Cette enquete a pour point de depart le motif iconographique et litteraire de la mise a mort de centaines d’Autochtones ordonnee en 1513 par l’Espagnol Nunez de Balboa, dans la region de l’actuel Panama. A travers l’etude de livres illustres entre les xvie et xviiie siecles, nous constatons que le concept d’« homme-femme » fut deplace, puis transfere de « l’antique vers l’exotique », pour permettre d’apprehender une realite meconnue des colons. Apres une analyse de la mise en image du massacre par Theodore de Bry au xvie siecle, nous traitons des considerations critiques et de l’analyse comparatiste de Joseph-Francois Lafitau, qui, au xviiie siecle, fait entrer les hommes-femmes dans le domaine de la religion.

The concept of agency, on different terms, acquires a central role in modern thinking. In this article, I endeavour to analyze its decomposition by using a reading of Emile Zola’s La Curee in light of the philosophy of Francois de Smet. First, I will examine the central reflections of De Smet’s volume Lost Ego. La tragedie du “Je suis” , so as to describe the three fictions that objectify agency in the Zolian novel: naturalist determinism, mythic fate and epic self-determination. The coexistence of these three narratives within the story causes a saturation rupture that leads me to rethink the notion of felure . Finally, I will connect La Curee ’s decomposed agency with the current ethical context.
