Bridging East and West
Bridging East and West explores the literary evolution of one of Ukraine's foremost modernist writers, Ol'ha Kobylianska, who was a major contributor in the intellectual debates of her time. Investigating themes of feminism, populism, Nietzscheanism, nationalism, and fascism in her works, this study presents an alternative intellectual genealogy in turn-of-the-century European arts and letters whose implications reach far beyond the field of Ukrainian studies. Rather than repeating various narratives about modernism as a radical response to nineteenth-century bourgeois culture or an aesthetic of fragmentation, this study highlights the fissures and fusions inherent to turn-of-the-century tho...
Claude Simon chronophotographe
Belle invention que la chronophotographie, que cette production photographique d'images prises à des intervalles de temps exactement mesurés, et qui permet, à partir d'un unique cliché, l'analyse du mouvement par photographies successives. Et invention bien faite pour fasciner Claude Simon qui aura en somme trouvé dans la chronophotographie, c'est du moins ce que ce livre aimerait montrer, la technique indispensable à son écriture, au développement de son oeuvre comme à l'organisation singulière de ses thèmes. Une technique dont les effets, par delà les limites concrètes du texte, affecte le projet romanesque en son principe, touchant à des questions aussi diverses que celles de l'origine, de l'autobiographie et de la représentation du monde.
States of Plague
States of Plague examines Albert Camus's novel The Plague as a palimpsest of our own pandemic life, its account of the psychology and politics of quarantine uncannily relevant to our time. One of the most discussed books of the COVID-19 crisis, Albert Camus's classic novel The Plague has been a touchstone for readers over the past two years. As people were surrounded by terror and uncertainty, often separated from loved ones or unable to travel, many sought answers within the pages of Camus's tale about an Algerian city gripped by an epidemic in 1947. People began to read it as a story about their own lives--a book to shed light on a global health crisis. In thirteen linked chapters told in ...
Memory and Complicity
“A sophisticated, nuanced, and beautifully written account of the intersecting legacies of genocide and colonialism in postwar France.” —Michael Rothberg, author of Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization Since World War II, French and Francophone literature and film have repeatedly sought not to singularize the Holocaust as the paradigm of historical trauma but rather to connect its memory with other memories of violence, namely that of colonialism. These works produced what Debarati Sanyal calls a “memory-in-complicity” attuned to the gray zones that implicate different regimes of violence across history as well as those of different subjec...
1913: The year of French modernism
This book takes its cue from the annus miabilis for French culture to outline French modernism and to situate it on the map of global modernism. Essays on specific works in various media present the first narrative of French modernism as a critical category and establish its position in the thriving field of modernist studies.
Thresholds of Meaning
'Thresholds of Meaning' offers evidence not only of a reprise and reworking of certain 'traditional' themes (family, heritage and history; memory and commemoration; the relationships between the generations, between the individual and the community), but also of a reinstatement of meaning at the centre of literary enquiry.
Pictures Into Words
The explosive proliferation of pictures in advertising and pop culture, mass media, and cyberspace following World War II, along with the profusion of critical thinking that tries to make sense of it, has had wide-ranging implications for cultural production as such. Pictures into Words explores how this proliferation of graphic images has profoundly affected narrative writing in France, especially, as Ari J. Blatt argues, the structure, content, and symbolic logic of contemporary French fiction. By examining a specific corpus of narratives by authors Claude Simon, Georges Perec, Pierre Michon, and Tanguy Viel—books that originate amid, conjure up, and indeed are essentially about pictures...
Déplier Duchamp : passages de l'art
Passage, transit, transition : Dalia Judovitz prend Marcel Duchamp au mot, avec son art en valise et sa pensée mise en boîte toute prête à servir. Elle commence à ouvrir les valises. Dalia Judovitz nous montre comment le thème de la "transition" ou du transit, réapparaîssant d'ðuvre en ðuvre, fait de chaque pièce la reproduction d'une autre pièce, et de toutes la copie de quelque original introuvable et qui n'a pas de créateur.
Poésie proscrite
L'histoire de la poésie semble toujours devoir passer par les mêmes étapes : (auto)censure, condamnation, procès, révision et réhabilitation. Autant de tentatives – jamais totalement abouties – pour en faire une Poésie proscrite. De Platon à nos jours, la raison discursive et juridique a trop souvent cherché à réduire la poésie au silence, voire à l’animalité. Or, c’est à partir de son procès, de sa proscription même, que la poésie peut mieux faire entendre sa résistance singulière, en un sens et en un lieu qui restent toujours à refaire. Poésie proscrite se propose de réexaminer à nouveaux frais les dossiers des procès, tant juridiques que métaphoriques, qu...
Michon. Le secret de Maître Pierre
La chose autour de laquelle tournent les pages de ce livre ressemble à un moulin. De fragment en fragment, on s'essaie à regarder cette chose. On regarde surtout les autres la regarder tourner. On les regarde, de loin, s'en approcher, et parfois...
