The Representation of the Relationship between Center and Periphery in the Contemporary Novel
This collection of essays offers a comparative perspective on different forms of representation of social hybridity in contemporary novels through various cultural and linguistic lenses. It explores the various subcategories of their interdependent relationships, including power and domination between hegemony and marginality. The book revolves around five axes: namely, writing strategies and reterritorialization; marginality and intermediary spaces; revisited urban spaces; when periphery becomes center; and the modality of confrontation and construction of identity. It focuses on the identification and classification of spaces in order to understand their function in relation to the thematic strategy of the novel. Its main objective is identifying the textual representation of the challenge of center and periphery, as well as these concepts’ role and significance in diegesis. Thus, new light is shed on the subject and on the contemporary novel as a whole.
May Our Joy Endure
Winner of the 2023 Prix Médicis, Prix Décembre, and Prix Ringuet Céline Wachowski, internationally renowned architect and accidental digital-culture icon, unveils her plans for the Webuy Complex, her first megaproject in Montreal, her hometown. But instead of the triumph she anticipates in finally bringing her reputation to bear in her own city, the project is excoriated by critics, who accuse her of callously destroying the social fabric of neighborhoods, ushering in a new era of gentrification, and many even deadlier sins. When she is deposed as CEO of her firm, Céline must make sense of the charges against herself and the people in her elite circle. For the first time in danger of los...

The World of Juliette Kinzie
When Juliette Kinzie first visited Chicago in 1831, it was anything but a city. An outpost in the shadow of Fort Dearborn, it had no streets, no sidewalks, no schools, no river-spanning bridges. And with two hundred disconnected residents, it lacked any sense of community. In the decades that followed, not only did Juliette witness the city’s transition from Indian country to industrial center, but she was instrumental in its development. Juliette is one of Chicago’s forgotten founders. Early Chicago is often presented as “a man’s city,” but women like Juliette worked to create an urban and urbane world, often within their own parlors. With The World of Juliette Kinzie, we finally ...

La mort n'a pas d'amis
Paris, décembre 1924. Un crime est commis rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie dont la mise en scène intrigue les enquêteurs. Il est suivi d'un autre puis d'un troisième, tout aussi étranges. Les victimes n'ont pas de rapport apparent entre elles et la police ne dispose d'aucun indice si ce n'est que le meurtrier s'inspire manifestement du tableau de Max Ernst, Au rendez-vous des amis. La toile est un portrait de groupe des principaux animateurs du courant surréaliste, lesquels sont évidemment les premiers suspectés, individuellement ou en association. Tandis que la police piétine, Camille Baulay, dite Oxy, reporter au Petit Journal, mène ses investigations qui la conduisent à fréq...
