French Twentieth Bibliography
This series of bibliographical references is one of the most important tools for research in modern and contemporary French literature. No other bibliography represents the scholarly activities and publications of these fields as completely.
Questions of Identity in Detective Fiction
With essays by an international group of scholars, Questions of Identity in Detective Fiction delves into the ways in which this genre, given its status as popular yet marginalized literature, allows for the exploration of a wide range of meanings. Contributors examine how the genre both mirrors and focuses the personal/sexual/ ethnic/spiritual, how it interfaces with national literatures and histories, and how the generic identity of detective fiction has evolved over time. Chapters include discussions of novels and short stories from American, Argentine, British, Canadian, French, German, and Japanese national literatures, ranging from the mid 19th century to the early 21st century.
The Roman Noir in Post-war French Culture
All the novelists studied were published initially in popular collections, such as the Serie noire, but they have been chosen for the innovation of their work and the exciting ways in which they resist tired conventions and offer new ways of representing social reality." "One of the first English-language studies of this popular genre, The Roman Noir in Post-War French Culture offers much more than close readings of these fascinating texts; it demonstrates the important contribution of the roman noir to the cultural histories of post-war France."--Jacket.
Time, Narrative & the Fixed Image / Temps, narration & image fixe
This volume focuses on the relationship between time, narrative and the fixed image. As such, it highlights renewed interest in the temporality of the fixed image, probably one of the most important trends in the formal and semiotic analysis of visual media in the past decade. The various essays discuss paintings, the illustrated covers of books, comics or graphic novels, photo-stories, postcards, television and video art, as well as aesthetic practices that defy categorization such as Chris Marker’s masterpiece La Jetée. The range of works and practices examined is reflected in the different theoretical approaches and methods used, with an emphasis on semiology and narratology, and, to a...
Francographies
Comment aborder la littérature des espaces francophones européens en dehors de la France ? Identité et/ou altérité ? Qu'en pensent les auteur-e-s concerné-e-s vis-à-vis de leur écriture ? Ce volume est issu du colloque qui a eu lieu à l'Université d'Edimbourg les 14 et 15 mars 2008, dont les objectifs étaient d'explorer les notions d'identité et d'altérité dans les espaces francophones européens, tout particulièrement en Belgique et en Suisse romande, sans oublier les écrivain-e-s qui sont en quelque sorte en exil par rapport à leur pays et/ou leur langue. Ce livre présente un éventail d'auteur-e-s et de textes, du 19e au 21e siècle, y compris Bovard, Brel, Cingria, Geve...
Envois & Dédicaces
Envois & Dédicaces constitue une réflexion sur le don du livre qui se manifeste par l'envoi, manuscrit, porté sur un seul exemplaire, et la dédicace, imprimée,portant sur tous. Il se propose de démontrer que ces éléments, considérés comme marginaux et dont l’étude est souvent négligée, jouent souvent un rôle important, sinon central, dans la constitution du sens du livre et dans sa réception. Tel est son pari. L’ouvrage se divise en trois parties. La première propose une réflexion générale sur l’envoi et/ou la dédicace, à travers les œuvres du XXe siècle, le roman policier notamment (Levet) et montre en particulier quel rôle joue le lecteur placé en tiers dans ...
Frauenkrimi/polar Féminin
Can female-authored French and German crime novels be read as part of an international phenomenon of feminist revisions of the crime genre? This book examines the status of female crime writers and their female investigators in France and Germany, focusing on four novels of the 1990s and their reception. In Germany the rise of the Frauenkrimi has been accompanied by fears of ghettoization on the part of women writers, and hostile reactions from critics to perceived feminist ideology, while in France the encroachment of women on the masculine terrain of the roman noir has given rise to retrenchments and defensive redefinitions. Far from being a simple source of pleasure, female-authored crime novels in France and Germany are a site of conflict; this study exposes the terms of this conflict and demonstrates the continued centrality of gender issues in literary studies.
La grande petite évasion
Découvrez un nouveau numéro en version numérique de la revue littéraire belge Marginales Dans le tohu-bohu médiatique qui accompagne cette grande mutation, les écrivains se sont peu fait entendre. C’est qu’ils n’émettent pas sur les mêmes longueurs d’onde que les discours dominants. Il est cependant précieux que, par les moyens qui sont les leurs, et qui relèvent de la fiction, de la poésie, de la méditation non utilitariste, ils puissent apporter leur point de vue. Un événement marquant, mi-feuilletonesque, mi-tragique, l’évasion du principal prévenu actuellement détenu en Belgique, a accéléré notre mise à feu du projet. Prévu pour l’automne 98, le nouveau ...
