Civilization without Sexes
In the raucous decade following World War I, newly blurred boundaries between male and female created fears among the French that theirs was becoming a civilization without sexes. This new gender confusion became a central metaphor for the War's impact on French culture and led to a marked increase in public debate concerning female identity and woman's proper role. Mary Louise Roberts examines how in these debates French society came to grips with the catastrophic horrors of the Great War. In sources as diverse as parliamentary records, newspaper articles, novels, medical texts, writings on sexology, and vocational literature, Roberts discovers a central question: how to come to terms with ...

Les fugitifs (Harlequin Black Rose)
Les fugitifs, Brenda Novak Divorcée et mère d'une petite fille de treize mois, Gabrielle Hadley s'est installée à Florence, en plein cœur de l'Arizona, dans le but secret de se rapprocher de sa mère qui l'a abandonnée, vingt-cinq ans auparavant. Mais déchirée entre la rancœur, la peur et l'espoir, elle n'a pas encore trouvé le courage de prendre contact avec elle. En attendant, pour vivre, elle accepte un poste d'agent pénitentiaire à la prison de la ville. C'est là que son destin bascule, quand elle rencontre Randall Tucker, condamné sans preuve pour le meurtre de sa femme, et dont le regard profond, mystérieux et farouche, où semble couver quelque orage secret, provoque en elle un trouble dont elle est incapable de se défendre... Est-ce à cause de ce regard qu'elle se lance à la poursuite de Tucker lorsqu'il s'échappe, blessé, lors d'un transfert ? Ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'il lui faut à tout prix le sauver d'une mort certaine dans le désert brûlant, et le ramener aux autorités... Ce que Gabrielle ignore encore, c'est que, très vite, elle ne saura plus de quel côté elle se situe. Celui de la loi... ou celui du fugitif ?
Translating Memories of Violent Pasts
This collection brings together work from Memory Studies and Translation Studies to explore the role of interlingual and intercultural translation for unpacking transcultural memory dynamics, focusing on memories of violent pasts across different literary genres. The book explores the potential of a research agenda that links narrower definitions of translation with broader notions of transfer, transmission, and relocation across temporal and cultural borders, investigating the nuanced theoretical and conceptual dimensions at the intersection of memory and translation. The volume explores memories of violent pasts – legacies of war, genocide, dictatorship, and exile across different genres...
Fashion, Work, and Politics in Modern France
This history of coiffure in modern France illuminates a host of important twentieth-century issues: the course of fashion, the travails of small business in a modern economy, the complexities of labour reform, the failure of the Popular Front, the temptations of Pétainism, all accompanied by a parade of waves, chignons, and curls.
The Fugitives
In their growing involvement with one another, each becomes a pawn in the other's game. As we weave among these characters, learning about their lives and motivations, and uncovering the conflicts and contradictions between their stories, we realize that the storyteller is not the only one with secrets to conceal that all three are fugitives of one kind or another. All the Sorrentino touches that have thrilled admirers are here: sparkling dialogue, satirical wit, attention to the details of everyday life, dizzyingly inventive prose but it is the deeply imagined interior lives of its all too human main characters that set this novel apart. Moving, funny, tense, and mysterious, The Fugitives is a love story, a ghost story, and a crime thriller.
