Crossings

Poetry. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the French by Marilyn Hacker. "Beginning with the astonishing prologue poem, 'Conversation with Mohammed Dib, ' followed by four long, spectacular poems, each a small book in itself, Habib Tengour's CROSSINGS takes us through various, lavishly depicted, geographical, political, historical, spiritual, moral, and aesthetic spaces that we've never been in before. 'My tribe that cannot be worn down continues, ' the poet says. His tribe being in Ezra Pound's phrase describing poets 'the antennae of the race.' CROSSINGS is an amazing book by a brilliant poet, amazingly and brilliantly translated by Marilyn Hacker, who is at her characteristic best, which is the best." Lawrence Joseph"

The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitut...

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.
