  Professor Desan will address the connection between the emergence of the self in the Renaissance, on the one hand, and its problematic representation via a process of distantness vis-à-vis others through the fashioning of what he will call dysfunctions of the self on the other hand. Montaigne will serve as a case study. The writing of the Self inevitably passes through the discovery of the other, or rather others in an endless plurality, but others that are only meaningful in their difference to Montaigne himself. Others allow Montaigne to underline his singularity, but they also enable him to redefine morality. Indeed, the diversity of rules produced by the various norms across the different cultures encountered multiplies the possibilities of what he calls a form of exhibitionism, both corporal and moral. This exhibitionism, in his view, is at the core of the form of the Essays. Montaigne’s corporal and moral exhibitionism allows him to create a distance with others, a distance that shapes his own specific Self. Transgression then becomes a mode of expression that defines the essay as a form, a form not only invented by Montaigne but also a form specific to the moral crisis of the late European Renaissance.
