Diacritical marks are now ironic, as they were for Joyce. Anglo-Saxon bands use them as a design feature \u2026 From c\u00f4te to c\u00f4te, the circumflex tells us how closely French was related to other languages, often via Latin. But according to the Academie Francaise even educated people (\u2018les personnes instruites\u2019) have trouble with the circumflex, and there\u2019s no need to build a diacritical cult around a consonant that\u2019s disappeared from any given part of speech.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In which Vivian Gornick rereads <em>Howards End<\/em> to discover that Forster knew far less than she\u2019d remembered: \u201cIt has often been my experience that rereading a book that was important to me at earlier times in life is something like lying on the analyst\u2019s couch. The narrative I have had by heart for years is suddenly called into alarming question \u2026 <em>Howards End<\/em> has proven just such a book for me. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/14\/books\/review\/song-of-inexperience.html?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">I read it when I was in college and now, many decades later, have reread it only to find myself dismayed not only by how much I got wrong but by how much in the book is wrong<\/a>\u2014the sexual na\u00efvet\u00e9, the rhetorical posturing, the hand from the grave all read like hokum today\u2014and yet how absorbing this novel of novels still is!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The poet Richard Siken has found an unlikely cult following in the fanfic community, which mines his work for lines they can use to describe the mystery of, say, two characters from <em>Sherlock<\/em>.<em>\u00a0<\/em>Siken, though he intended no resonance here, has embraced his new audience: \u201cFan fiction sexualizes. It\u2019s transgressive because it suggests the possibility of the erotic. It\u2019s political, because it complicates power structures. And it\u2019s personal, because it grants permission for range of previously unacceptable expressions and interactions. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theawl.com\/2015\/06\/the-poet-laureate-of-fan-fiction\" target=\"_blank\">I think my poems enact a space for complicated, multivalent relationships. I think that\u2019s the draw<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, Gerry Adams, the president of the Irish republican party Sinn F\u00e9in, has become the latest public figure to publish his tweets as poetry: \u201cThe book, with its routine dispatches from Adams\u2019s extracurricular activities (\u2018Pilates. Aaaaaahhhhh\u2019; \u20181st Pilates of 2015\u2026\u2019; \u2018Seriously overstretched myself @ pilates\u2019) and its endless jokily plaintive references to overdue household chores, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/gerry-adamss-baffling-book-of-tweets?intcid=mod-latest\" target=\"_blank\">creates a vacuum of significance so total that you wonder whether you\u2019re missing some deeper intent<\/a>. There is, for instance, an overwhelming emphasis on bathing: aside from the frequent testimonials to his menagerie of rubber ducks, Adams insists again and again on his enjoyment of every aspect of the bathing process. \u2018So the bath beckons!\u2019 we are told. \u2018Plastic ducks. Soapy suds\u2026\u2019 Elsewhere, he tweets that his bath \u2018Overflowth,\u2019 advising his followers that he has just taken delivery of his \u20181st Orange Duck,\u2019 and that \u2018A Good Suddy Soak\u2019 awaits him.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><em>The Lost Rolls: 1988\u20132012 <\/em>collects unused pictures from the photojournalist Ron Haviv, depriving them of context and giving them a strange new beauty. As Colin Dickey writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/273251\/the-rose-washed-past-ron-havivs-lost-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\">The images of <em>The Lost Rolls<\/em> were selected from various rolls of undeveloped film that were tucked away in drawers and bags, mostly forgotten, in Haviv\u2019s house for decades<\/a>. The result is an assemblage of deteriorating photographs, depicting random moments in time and revealing a range of physical imperfections. Many are washed with a rose tint; others are streaked with broad swaths of yellow or drooping blemishes of cyan \u2026 Photojournalism is, by its nature, obsessed with the moment and defined by action verbs: to document, to witness, to reveal, to inform, to effect change. The images in <em>The Lost Rolls, <\/em>by contrast, are unmoored from context. Like the rolls themselves, the time signature here is lost.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In France, a twenty-five-year plan to streamline the language for schoolchildren may spell the end of the circumflex, that most mysterious of diacritical marks: \u201cThe circumflex came into use in France much later, in the sixteenth century, and the Academie Francaise\u2014let\u2019s dump the acute and the cedilla\u2014haven\u2019t fought to the death to hang on to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2512],"tags":[20417,21073,1264,6746,865,529,21074,6259,2659,21075,3756],"class_list":["post-94208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on-the-shelf","tag-accents","tag-circumflex","tag-e-m-forster","tag-fan-fiction","tag-france","tag-french","tag-gerry-adams","tag-howards-end","tag-richard-siken","tag-ron-haviv","tag-vivian-gornick"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>France Says Goodbye to the Circumflex<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This and more in today\u2019s roundup.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"So Long, Circumflex, and Other News by Dan Piepenbring\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"February 8, 2016 \u2013 In France, a twenty-five-year plan to streamline the language for schoolchildren may spell the end of the circumflex, that most mysterious of diacritical\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Paris Review\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/parisreview\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-02-08T13:55:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-02-08T15:44:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/arret.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dan Piepenbring\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@parisreview\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@parisreview\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Dan Piepenbring\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Dan Piepenbring\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/6b16ca558fc538230f135c3220dfd3c8\"},\"headline\":\"So Long, Circumflex, and Other News\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-02-08T13:55:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-02-08T15:44:25+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/\"},\"wordCount\":697,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/so-long-circumflex-and-other-news\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/arret.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"accents\",\"circumflex\",\"E.
