Contemporary French Poetics
This book finds its origin partly in the International Colloquium on French and Francophone Literature in the 1990's at Dalhousie University, September 1998. number of the papers, since reworked, take their place here alongside other studies subsequently invited. They form a broad and varyingly focused set of cogent and pertinent appraisals of very recent French, and francophone, poetic practice and its shifting, becoming conceptual underpinnings.
Cherchez la femme
Throughout history, the most fundamental values at the basis of societal organization and culture were determined and sanctified almost exclusively by men—including the values traditionally associated with women, such as corporeal beauty, purity, motherhood, or empathy. However, from ancient times, and increasingly toward the end of the second millennium, women have succeeded in finding ways to overcome such limits and have made their contributions to the revision of values and to the establishment of new ones. Cherchez la femme offers a selection of essays inquiring into the nature of aesthetic, linguistic, cultural, and social values created, informed, or reformed by women in the French-speaking world, as well as studies on how the discourse of (male) power used female figures to strengthen its own position. With topics ranging in time from Semiramis’s ancient legend to today, and in space from Québec to Haiti, metropolitan France, and New Caledonia, the volume shares the richness and fruitfulness of the female perspective in art, culture, theory, and political action.

Voi(es)x de l'autre
Ce volume soulève la question de la situation complexe des poètes femmes dans la tradition littéraire masculine. Il tente d'élargir et d'approfondir la réflexion dans le domaine de la poésie des femmes en s'inscrivant dans le prolongement des travaux de la critique littéraire féministe et/ou " féminine ", tout en proposant une approche critique plurielle. Une double interrogation le parcourt, à laquelle il ne prétend pas apporter une réponse définitive, ni exhaustive : En quoi le fait d'être une femme peut-il affecter la création en poésie ? Qu'est-ce qui fait la différence des écrits poétiques féminins ? Fruit d'une collaboration féconde entre des chercheurs spécialisÃ...
Multilingual Literature as World Literature
Multilingual Literature as World Literature examines and adjusts current theories and practices of world literature, particularly the conceptions of world, global and local, reflecting on the ways that multilingualism opens up the borders of language, nation and genre, and makes visible different modes of circulation across languages, nations, media and cultures.
