Lucidity
This collection of essays addresses the question of lucidity as a thematic in literature and film but also as a quality of both expression and insight in literary criticism and critical thought more generally. The essays offer treatments of lucidity in itself and in relation to its opposites, forms of obscurity and darkness. They offer attention to problems of philosophical thought and reason, to questions of literary and poetic form, and of photographic and filmic contemplation. Ranging from engagements with early modern writing through to more recent material the contributions focus in particular on nineteenth- and twentieth-century French prose and poetry, the field which has been the predominant focus of Alison Finch’s critical writing. They are written as tributes to the distinctively lucid insights of her work and to the breadth and clarity of its intellectual engagement.

A Little Tour Through European Poetry
This book is both a sequel to author John Taylor's earlier volume Into the Heart of European Poetry and something different. It is a sequel because this volume expands upon the base of the previous book to include many more European poets. It is different in that it is framed by stories in which the author juxtaposes his personal experiences involving European poetry or European poets as he travels through different countries where the poets have lived or worked. Taylor explores poetry from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Lithuania, Albania, Romania, Turkey, and Portugal, all of which were missing in the previous gathering, analyzes heady verse written in Galician, and presents an important poe...

Utopian Television
Television has long been a symbol of social and cultural decay, yet many in postwar Europe saw it as the medium with the greatest potential to help build a new society and create a new form of audiovisual art. Utopian Television examines works of the great filmmakers Roberto Rossellini, Peter Watkins, and Jean-Luc Godard, all of whom looked to television as a promising new medium even while remaining critical of its existing practices. Utopian Television illustrates how each director imagined television’s improved or “utopian” version by drawing on elements that had come to characterize it by the early 1960s. Taking advantage of the public service model of Western European broadcasting...
Enigme
Au sein de l'énigme se déploient les potentialités, les lisières du sens. On s'intéresse ici à la question de la fabrication, de la construction du sens, par le biais de l'énigme. On pourra aborder le statut de l'excès de concision, ou d'une transparence trompeuse. Il s'agit de décliner le rôle de clef poétique de l'énigme. On trace une ligne dans l'énigme, au sein même de son histoire.

Protestants, protestantisme et pensée clandestine
Les textes clandestins des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles les plus étudiés jusqu'à maintenant sont des traités philosophiques d'inspiration antichrétienne. Mais la foi est aussi une source de production et de circulation clandestines. Depuis la Révocation de l'Edit de Nantes, les protestants français ont été contraints de s'exprimer par des voies détournées. Déjà les numéros précédents de La Lettre clandestine ont abordé les questions des limites du corpus clandestin, de la filiation entre les courants de pensée, des marques de la clandestinité et du rôle de la Réforme dans la tradition critique. Ce neuvième dossier thématique est pour la première fois entièrement consacr...
