Les Lois de l'ascension
Ce roman va vous parler de révolution, d’exil, d’illusions, de sororité, d’amour. Son ambition est d’être une fresque de notre époque, une fresque de notre culture, un miroir des dilemmes et des paradoxes que chacun de nous doit s’employer à résoudre. Il est telle une interrogation sur ce que sont les moteurs et les motifs de nos vies.
Narratives of the Therapeutic Encounter
This collection of essays explores the ways in which talking therapies have been depicted in twentieth century and contemporary narratives (life-writings, fiction and poetry) in French. This vibrant corpus of francophone literary engagements of therapy has so far been widely unexplored, but it offers rich insights into the connections between literature and psychoanalysis. As the number of autobiographical and fictional depictions of the therapeutic encounter is still on the rise, these creative outputs raise pressing questions: why do narratives of the therapeutic encounter continue to fascinate writers and readers?

Les vieux ne pleurent jamais
Judith et Janet ont 70 ans, elles vivent à New York depuis de nombreuses années. Seules aujourd’hui, sans mari, ces femmes ne sont pas dévastées, elles poursuivent leur chemin tant il est vrai qu’un être demeure le même d'un bout à l’autre de son existence. Un roman d’une grande acuité sur le vieillissement, d’une surprenante empathie pour le troisième âge de la femme, sur la gravité du temps qui passe mais aussi et surtout sur l’incroyable énergie de la plupart d'entre elles face à l’étrange phénomène qui change nos corps mais pas nos âmes. Nos têtes dirait-on, dans lesquelles s’agite tout ce que nous sommes, inchangé, depuis l'enfance.
Beyond Cognitive Metaphor Theory
In this innovative collection, an international group of scholars come together to discuss literary metaphors and cognitive metaphor theory. The volume presents recent approaches to metaphor, illustrates a range of successful applications of the new cognitive models to literary texts, and provides an assessment of cognitive metaphor theory from a literary point of view.
Brutal Intimacy
Brutal Intimacy is the first book to explore the fascinating films of contemporary France, ranging from mainstream genre spectaculars to arthouse experiments, and from wildly popular hits to films that deliberately alienate the viewer. Twenty-first-century France is a major source of international cinema—diverse and dynamic, embattled yet prosperous—a national cinema offering something for everyone. Tim Palmer investigates France’s growing population of women filmmakers, its buoyant vanguard of first-time filmmakers, the rise of the controversial cinema du corps, and France’s cinema icons: auteurs like Olivier Assayas, Claire Denis, Bruno Dumont, Gaspar Noé, and stars such as Vincent Cassel and Jean Dujardin. Analyzing dozens of breakthrough films, Brutal Intimacy situates infamous titles alongside many yet to be studied in the English language. Drawing on interviews and the testimony of leading film artists, Brutal Intimacy promises to be an influential treatment of French cinema today, its evolving rivalry with Hollywood, and its ambitious pursuits of audiences in Europe, North America, and around the world.
