New Perspectives on Imagology

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2022-11-14
  • -
  • Publisher: BRILL

With this volume, the editors Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie, and Gianna Zocco propose an extension of the traditional conception of imagology as a theory and method for studying the cultural construction and literary representation of national, usually European characters. Consisting of an instructive introduction and 21 articles, the book relates this sub-field of comparative literature to contemporary political developments and enriches it with new interdisciplinary, transnational, intersectional, and intermedial perspectives. The contributions offer [1] a reconsideration and update of the field’s methods, genres, and theoretical frames; [2] trans-/post-national, migratory, and marginalized perspectives beyond the European nation-state; [3] insights into geopolitical dichotomies such as Orient/Occident; [4] intersectional approaches considering the entanglements of national images with notions of age, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity/race; [5] investigations of the role of national images in visual narratives and music.

Rediscovering French Science-Fiction in Literature, Film and Comics

French science-fiction (SF) is as old as the French language. Cyrano de Bergerac wrote about a trip to the moon that was published back in 1657, as did Jules Verne in 1865, this time using hard, scientific facts. The first movie showing a trip to the moon was made by Georges Méliès in 1902. In the comics’ format, Hergé had Tintin walk on the moon in 1954, 15 years before Neil Armstrong. These are just a few of the many unique French contributions to SF that rightly deserve to be better known. One of the purposes of this collection is to introduce French SF to an English-speaking audience. Rediscovering French Science Fiction... first revisits proto science-fiction from authors like Cyra...

Captivant : Captivant

Un recueil d'histoires courtes parues dans Métal Hurlant, foisonnant de pastiches et de parodies. L'humour inimitable d'Yves Chaland. 1 VOLUME PARU - HISTOIRES INDÉPENDANTES À la fin des années 1970, Jean-Pierre Dionnet, cofondateur de Métal Hurlant, a repéré le talent d’Yves Chaland et lui commande une série d’histoires courtes. Réalisées avec Luc Cornillon, elles seront publiées en un album en 1979, sous le titre de Captivant. Pastiches des feuilletons des années 1950, on y retrouve ce sens de l’humour et de l’aventure propre à Chaland. De l’adaptation de Madame Bovary aux aventures de Gégène, en passant par John Sahara, Chaland multiplie les clins d’œil et les parodies.
