Norma
Norma, 7 ans, atterrit en foyer d'accueil sur fond de procès médiatique. Aussitôt, sa fragilité, son crâne nu, focalisent l'attention. Il émane quelque chose de spécial de cette fillette, mais quoi ? Sa présence, tel un révélateur, va bouleverser la vie du foyer, exacerber tensions et passions, précipiter les destins, notamment celui de Léo, adolescent brisé, violent, poursuivi par la poisse et l'incompréhension des adultes. Premier roman de Maïa Brami, Norma constitue le reflet d'une société où chacun, en quête d'identité et d'amour, tente de se libérer des apparences - servi par une émotion à fleur de mots. Ce livre a obtenu le prix du 20e festival du Premier Roman de Chambéry.
Contemporary Mise en Scène
‘We have good reason to be wary of mise en scène, but that is all the more reason to question this wariness ... it seems that images from a performance come back to haunt us, as if to prolong and transform our experience as spectators, as if to force us to rethink the event, to return to our pleasure or our terror.’ – Patrice Pavis, from the foreword Contemporary Mise en Scène is Patrice Pavis’s masterful analysis of the role that staging has played in the creation and practice of theatre throughout history. This stunningly ambitious study considers: the staged reading, at the frontiers of mise en scène; scenography, which sometimes replaces staging; the reinterpretation of classi...
Yale French Studies, Number 137/138
Number 137/138 in Yale French Studies, this collection of essays examines poetry in French by authors from across the Maghreb Although in recent years Maghrebi literature written in French has enjoyed increased critical attention, less attention has been paid specifically to the genre of poetry. The sixteen essays collected in this special issue of Yale French Studies show how the poem provides a uniquely privileged perspective from which to examine questions relating to aesthetics, linguistics, philosophy, history, autobiography, gender, the visual arts, colonial and postcolonial society and politics, and issues relating to the post-Arab Spring.
Les princes charmants n'existent pas
Peut-on tomber amoureux... par correspondance ? À quinze ans, Nora est une incorrigible rêveuse, qui préfère le glamour hollywoodien d'une Ava Gardner aux amours bien prosaïques de sa copine Julie avec le beau gosse du lycée. Lorsqu'un jour une lettre de rupture adressée à son voisin, un certain Rodrigue, tombe sur son balcon, elle renvoie la missive au bon destinataire. Il lui répond. De lettres en lettres, les deux jeunes gens deviennent intimes. Sans vraiment oser passer à l'action, Nora ne peut s'empêcher de rêver à une histoire d'amour avec Rodrigue. Mais la réalité peut-elle être aussi belle que le fruit de son imagination? Les princes charmants n'existent pas est à la fois une comédie romantique légère et profonde sur la découverte de l'amour entre deux adolescents et un roman initiatique plein d'humour et de tendresse sur le passage à l'âge adulte. "Un livre qu'on dévore avec plaisir".

Modernity and Its Other
In Modernity and Its Other Robert Woods Sayre examines eighteenth-century North America through discussion of texts drawn from the period. He focuses on this unique historical moment when early capitalist civilization (modernity) in colonial societies, especially the British, interacted closely with Indigenous communities (the "Other") before the balance of power shifted definitively toward the colonizers. Sayre considers a variety of French perspectives as a counterpoint to the Anglo-American lens, including J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur and Philip Freneau, as well as both Anglo-American and French or French Canadian travelers in "Indian territory," including William Bartram, Jonathan Carver, John Lawson, Alexander Mackenzie, Baron de Lahontan, Pierre Charlevoix, and Jean-Baptiste Trudeau. Modernity and Its Other is an important addition to any North American historian's bookshelf, for it brings together the social history of the European colonies and the ethnohistory of the American Indian peoples who interacted with the colonizers.
De l'Expatrié
Ce livre se compose de trois textes sur le thème de l'expatriation. La langue poétique donne à l'absence de patrie une terre natale, et à l'éradiqué un but à atteindre. À l'exilé un accueil, au poète de quoi surmonter les murs de l'exclusion. Ces trois étapes guident vers une issue à la douleur.
Contemporary Street Arts in Europe
Street theatre invades a public space, shakes it up and disappears, but the memory of the disruption haunts the site for audiences who experience it. This book looks at how the dynamic interrelationship of performance, participant and place creates a politicized aesthetic of public space that enables the public to rehearse democratic practices.
A History of Collective Creation
Collective creation - the practice of collaboratively devising works of performance - rose to prominence not simply as a performance making method, but as an institutional model. By examining theatre practices in Europe and North America, this book explores collective creation's roots in the theatrical experiments of the early twentieth century.
Creating Der Rosenkavalier
A full account of the making, during 1909-10, of Der Rosenkavalier with emphasis on its derivation from a French opérette of 1907, L'Ingenu libertin. L'Ingenu libertin was seen in Paris by Count Harry Kessler and formed the basis of the opera then to be written by Hofmannsthal and Strauss. Previous scholarship has credited the narrative and characters of Der Rosenkavalier to much older French sources known to and studied by Hofmannsthal, but this book shows clearly how every element in L'Ingenu libertin is in fact taken (and transformed) by Kessler and Hofmannsthal into the work that made fortunes for Hofmannsthal and Strauss, but left Kessler on the sidelines. Michael Reynolds casts a majo...
