Conrad in France
In this collection, French intellectuals and scholars comment on the relationship between British novelist Joseph Conrad's work and French culture and criticism. The book presents readings of Conrad's major texts by several generations of critics, such as Andr� Gide, Andr� Maurois, and Ram�n Fern�ndez, with generation approaching his works from a variety of angles while remaining attentive to the link between the artist and his work.
Literary Theory and Criticism
This volume offers a comprehensive account of modern literary criticism, presenting the field as part of an ongoing historical and intellectual tradition. Featuring thirty-nine specially commissioned chapters from an international team of esteemed contributors, it fills a large gap in the market by combining the accessibility of single-authored selections with a wide range of critical perspectives. The volume is divided into four parts. Part One covers the key philosophical and aesthetic origins of literary theory, while Part Two discusses the foundational movements and thinkers in the first half of the twentieth century. Part Three offers introductory overviews of the most important movements and thinkers in modern literary theory, and Part Four looks at emergent trends and future directions.
Conrad et Lowry
Ce numéro de L'Époque Conradienne rassemble la plupart des communications présentées lors du colloque international organisé en septembre 1999 à l'Université Lumière - Lyon II sur le thème : Conrad and Lowry : l'esth-éthique de la fiction. Les comparaisons, rapprochements éthiques et divergences esthétiques entre ces deux auteurs dominent donc dans cette livraison et enrichissent notre vision de deux œuvres majeures du XXe siècle. Conrad, moins omniprésent que d'habitude, profite cependant de ces regards croisés qui soulignent, une fois de plus, son rôle fondamental dans l'éclosion de la modernité.
After Melancholia
Mindful of the tunnel vision sometimes created by the privileging of ‘hybridity talk’ and matters of culture in discussions of texts by minority writers, Delphine Munos in After Melancholia reads the work of the Bengali-American celebrity author Jhumpa Lahiri against the grain, by shifting the ground of analysis from the cultural to the literary. With the help of psychoanalytic theories ranging from Sigmund Freud through André Green and Nicolas Abraham to Jean Laplanche, this study re-evaluates the complexity of Lahiri’s craft and offers major insights into the author’s representation of second-generation diasporic subjectivity – an angle hitherto neglected by critics working from...
Conrad’s Presence in Contemporary Culture
The anthology consists of essays authored by scholars of different nationalities from diverse cultures, nations and primary languages. They cover Conrad’s presence across multiple media (fiction, films, comics, and graphic novels). The collection is unique because the contributors focused on Conrad’s presence in contemporary culture – a constantly changing field – rather than well-trodden paths. The exploration of Polish, French, Italian, Spanish, English and American works of art strengthens its originality. The artists discussed in connection with Conrad include Olga Tokarczuk, Stanisław Lem, Robert Silveberg, Loic Godart, Christian Bobin, Christian Perrissin, Tom Tirabosco, Eduardo Berti, J.M. Coetzee, Michelangelo Antonioni. Last but not least, the volume contains 20 stunning reproductions in full colour from films, graphic novels and comics.
Rewriting/Reprising in Literature
This volumes includes a series of 17 selected essays, preceded by a methodological introduction, whose purpose is to offer a fresh outlook on the question of rewriting-reprising. The argument, taking for granted the phenomenon of intertextuality, develops along three main axes: the first one reconsiders the already debated issue of authority on post-structuralist premises, arguing that the origin of a text is untraceable. The second looks at a phenomenon often associated with reprising, especially in a post-colonial context: trauma, whether individual or historical, in relation to creative repetition. The third axis offers a re-reading of the question of voice, introducing the notion of the ...
Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives
The volume traces the literary, cultural and biographical influence of both French arts and philosophy, and émigré life in France, on Mansfield’s evolution as a key modernist writer, setting her within the geographies and cultural dynamics of Anglo-French modernism.
Fiction, Crime, and the Feminine
The form of art called fiction has always been the privileged framework providing the perfect alibi for facing, framing, and containing the Other’s desire and the strange libido attached to violence: in other words, there is an ambivalent dimension inherent in the scenarios and fantasies we enjoy by proxy. Are not the fairy tales of our childhood full of images of death and violence, whose fascinating presence is paradoxically meant to make us feel all the more safely tucked up in bed? After all, the wolf or the Little Red Riding Hood, the monstrous killer or the unfortunate victim are but fictitious characters, mere shifting positions: they are “not me”—therefore, thanks to the will...
