Téléphonez-moi
Quoi de plus simple en apparence que de téléphoner ? Quels rapports à l’autre le téléphone engage-t-il ? Le moins que l’on puisse dire est que le monde contemporain s’est évertué à diversifier et à complexifier ce rapport à l’autre en multipliant les possibilités d’un contact vocal à distance : appeler ou recevoir un appel, le manquer, y répondre ou laisser sonner, prendre un message... Les possibilités sont nombreuses et disent en filigrane la multiplicité des enjeux identitaires et communautaires dès lors qu’on prend un téléphone en main. Celui-ci a subrepticement pris le pouvoir. Alors qu’il se présente de prime abord comme un écho sonore, nous transforma...
Reconfiguring the Postcolonial City
Global South cities are magnets of immigration flows. They are vivid crucibles of human diversity, cultural interactions, but also of political tensions and social violence. From Kolkata to Bogota, from Harare to Fort-de-France, from Bamako to Cape Town, this book offers a unique set of studies on cities where multifarious diaspora flows converge. Building on the concept of the ecotone, i.e. a contact zone between populations of different backgrounds, it elicits a multidisciplinary dialogue between social science and humanities scholars, exploring the articulation between the postcolonial and the neoliberal city. Following Ananya Roy’s proposition of a worlding the South (Roy 2014), this book contributes to forging a situated world view rooted in the experience and the imaginary of Southern cities.
Érotisme et esthétique des larmes / Erotik und Ästhetik der Tränen
Until well into the 20th century, explicit sexual allusions were a taboo subject in European literature and art. The contributions gathered in this volume explore the multi-faceted, oftentimes ambivalent functions of the tear which can serve as an expression of emotions, as an aesthetic element, or as a signal of subtle erotic tension. The authors analyze subtexts in prominent and less prominent French prose texts of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, which have mostly been overlooked in previous research.
Writing the North of the North / L’Écriture du Nord du Nord / Den Norden des Nordens (be-)schreiben
The expression “North of the North” refers both to an objective, geographical reality – the territories situated at the highest latitudes on our planet – and to a subjective, mental construction which came into being many centuries ago and has been developed, modified and differentiated ever since. The chapters in the present volume examine various aspects of that concept, analysing texts and works of art from a range of regions and periods. La notion de « Nord du Nord » renvoie tout autant à la réalité géographique objective que sont les territoires des latitudes les plus élevées de notre planète qu’à une construction mentale subjective qui s’est constituée, développ...

Genres et identité dans la tradition littéraire européenne
Ce volume envisage le rapport des genres et des formes littéraires en Europe, il interroge les interactions entre ce qu'on pourrait appeler une identité littéraire européenne et les questions génériques telles qu'elles ont traversé et traversent encore l'Europe. Les articles sont réunis par cette idée que la répartition générique dépasse un enjeu taxinomique et classificatoire. Réfléchir sur les genres, c'est interroger leur rôle dans l'histoire littéraire, mais également leur fonction poétique et leur enjeu critique
