Francis Ponge and the Nature of Things
One of the most significant French poets of the twentieth century--Francis Ponge--is treated in this study. The fundamental role of atomistic philosophy in Ponge's writings, especially as expressed in Lucretius's De Rerum Natura is discussed. Meadows is the first author to examine Ponge's writings in a book-length study.
Jamaica Kincaid
As a writer who has been quoted as saying she writes to save her life- that is she couldn't write, she would be a revolutionary- Antiguan novelist Jamaica Kincaid translates this passion into searing, exhilarating prose. Her weaving of history, autobiography, fiction, and polemic has won her a large readership. In this first book-length study of her work, Moira Ferguson examines all of Kincaid's writing up to 1992, focusing especially o their entwinement of personal and political identity. In doing so, she draws a parallel between the dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship in Kincaid's fiction and the more political relationship of the colonizer and the colonized. Ferguson calls this effect the "doubled mother"- a conception of motherhood as both colonial and biological.
Marcel Schwob
Ecrivain précoce et renommé durant les dernières années du XIXe siècle, Marcel Schwob abandonna cependant bien rapidement la plume. Cette «panne d'écriture» fut expliquée, par manque de preuves et de témoignages directs, par des événements dans la vie de l'auteur. Il nous semble toutefois que l'évolution de l'écriture de la fiction à l'intérieur même des contes a mené à une impasse, de laquelle l'auteur, en quête d'une nouvelle inspiration, ne pouvait se soustraire. Une analyse minutieuse des récits brefs indiquera comment la conception même de l'imaginaire, de l'écriture et de la réécriture chez Schwob, imprégné par la vision décadento-symboliste, sous-tend l'oeuvre et annonce sa limite, sa propre mort. L'érudition tant vantée de l'auteur du Livre de Monelle, permettant une création riche et originale pour son époque, concourt à l'étouffement de la fiction. En particulier, les recherches linguistiques de l'écrivain, principalement sur l'argot, se trouvent à la base de cette aventure littéraire. De son premier conte paru dans une revue aux Vies imaginaires, le lecteur assiste à l'élaboration d'une littérature de l'impossible.

Camera Geologica
In Camera Geologica Siobhan Angus tells the history of photography through the minerals upon which the medium depends. Challenging the emphasis on immateriality in discourses on photography, Angus focuses on the inextricable links between image-making and resource extraction, revealing how the mining of bitumen, silver, platinum, iron, uranium, and rare earth elements is a precondition of photography. Photography, Angus contends, begins underground and, in photographs of mines and mining, frequently returns there. Through a materials-driven analysis of visual culture, she illustrates histories of colonization, labor, and environmental degradation to expose the ways in which photography is enmeshed within and enables global extractive capitalism. Angus places nineteenth-century photography in dialogue with digital photography and its own entangled economies of extraction, demonstrating the importance of understanding photography’s complicity in the economic, geopolitical, and social systems that order the world.
