DISSERTATION ABSTRACT My dissertation project deals with shifting perceptions of clumsiness in Rousseau’s works and in nineteenth-century fiction. I interweave several critical perspectives in order to look at how clumsiness came to be valued as a sign both of sincerity and originality. From Jean-Jacques’ numerous and unfortunate faux-pas – which result in his social exclusion – to Rastignac’s blunders – which on the contrary allow him to enter and become part of high society – the ways in which clumsiness is looked at change dramatically in the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Clumsiness will eventually imply a derision of social rules, rules that the maladroit in fact exploits and dramatizes, claiming one’s ineptness becoming a powerful way to asserts one’s originality.
