L'intimité

Citizenship and Belonging in France and North America
The first decades of the new millennium have been marked by major political changes. Although The West has wished to revisit internal and international politics concerning migration policies, refugee status, integration, secularism, and the dismantling of communitarianism, events like the Syrian refugee crisis, the terrorist attacks in France in 2015-2016, and the economic crisis of 2008 have resurrected concepts such as national identity, integration, citizenship and re-shaping state policies in many developed countries. In France and Canada, more recent public elections have brought complex democratic political figures like Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau to the public eye. Both leaders...
From Menstruation to the Menopause
This book examines the representation of the female fertility cycle in contemporary Algerian, Mauritian, and French women's writing. It focuses on menstruation, childbirth, and the menopause whilst also incorporating experiences such as miscarriage and abortion. This study frames its analysis of contemporary women's writing by looking back to the pioneering work of the second-wave feminists. Second-wave feminist texts were the first to break the silence on key aspects of female experience which had thus far been largely overlooked or considered taboo. Second-wave feminist works have been criticised for applying their 'universal' theories to all women, regardless of their ethnicity, socio-eco...
Intimacy in Cinema
Though intimacy has been a wide concern in the humanities, it has received little critical attention in film studies. This collection of new essays investigates both the potential intimacy of cinema as a medium and the possibility of a cinema of intimacy where it is least expected. As a notion defined by binaries--inside and outside, surface and depth, public and private, self and other--intimacy, because it implies sharing, calls into question the boundaries between these extremes, and the border separating mainstream cinema and independent or auteur cinema. Following on Thomas Elsaesser's theories of the relationship between the intimacy of cinema and the cinema of intimacy, the essays explore intimacy in silent and classic Hollywood movies, underground, documentary and animation films; and contemporary Hollywood, British, Canadian and Australian cinema from a variety of approaches.
Favole persiane
Oltre settecento anni fa, il grande poeta persiano Gialāl ad-Dīn Rūmī compose il Masnavi, un ponderoso poema di circa venticinquemila versi suddiviso in sei libri. In questa opera monumentale, Rūmī sondava ogni aspetto dell'animo umano e indicava la via della saggezza. Oggi, due studiosi contemporanei, Lila Ibrahim-Lamrous e Bahman Namvar-Motlag, hanno estratto da questa miniera di conoscenza quarantatré favole, illustrate da Marjane Satrapi, che con il suo graphic novel Persepolis ha mostrato al mondo la brutale follia della dittatura iraniana. In queste piccole storie di pappagalli, topolini, orsi e leoni emerge tutta la saggezza e l'irriverenza di un popolo che da troppo tempo è soffocato da un regime criminale.

Les écritures poétiques de Franz Hellens
Ensemble de contributions évoquant le fantastique dans l'oeuvre poétique de Franz Hellens. Celui-ci considère que le rêve est à la source de l'écriture poétique. La poésie ne se trouve pas dans la forme versifiée, mais dans l'imagination, le mystère et le secret.
Le mythe du savoir
Lorsqu'en 1926 Valéry fait de la Science l'objet d'une certaine suspicion, en l'associant au "Mythe du Savoir", il reconnaît que les bases épistémologiques sur lesquelles se sont fondées, dès sa jeunesse, ses prises de position scientifiques n'ont pas été acceptées sans distanciation critique. Dès lors, il s'agit d'analyser les composantes diverses informant une problématique de refonte, et de reformulation, des principes qui vont innerver une certaine vue de la Science, et qui vont conduire Valéry à chercher de nouveaux formulés, voire un nouveau langage scientifique. D'abord, l'examen du contexte de son adolescence révèle que l'émergence de sa pensée scientifique était i...
La France et l'Algérie en 1962. De l'Histoire aux représentations textuelles d'une fin de guerre
1962-2012. Cinquante ans ont passé depuis les accords d’Evian, la proclamation de l’indépendance de l’Algérie et la fin de celle qu’en France on appelle désormais officiellement la « guerre d’Algérie ». Car si du côté algérien il fut très vite question de guerre (« Guerre de libération nationale »), dans l’Hexagone, on préféra longtemps évoquer les « événements d’Algérie ». Guerre dite « sans nom », au moins du côté français, elle n’a en revanche jamais été sans mots. Au contraire, de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée, des voix se sont élevées pendant mais aussi après ces combats d’une rare violence, pour témoigner, interroger et transm...
Traumatisme et mémoire culturelle
In the francophone world of the 20th and early 21st centuries, collective violence, trauma and mediatization interact with each other. World Wars, wars of independence and decolonization, the Shoa, exile, migration and terrorism cause traumas which are mediatized in text and image, but also in commemorative rites, music, the press or museums. This volume provides an analysis of these media as well as a presentation of the theoretical framework. Contains contributions by: Angela Kühner, Frankfurt am Main (Germany); Nathalie Maillard, Montréal (Canada); Boris Cyrulnik, Bordeaux (France); Catherine Wermester, Paris I Sorbonne (France); Rémi Dalisson, Rouen (France); Pierre Schoentjes, Gent (...
