Figures mythiques

Caïn et Abel
À Caïn, chacun associe le premier meurtre commis au seuil de la Bible et la condamnation à l'errance qui vient châtier ce geste fratricide. Mais on ignore souvent que le criminel est aussi le fondateur de la civilisation, le père de la ville, des arts et des techniques. Sobre, elliptique et ambigu, le chapitre IV de la Genèse est inducteur d'interrogations et de rêveries : pourquoi Dieu agrée-t-il le sacrifice offert par Abel alors qu'il rejette celui de Caïn ? Pour quelle (s) raison (s) l'aîné des deux frères tue-t-il son cadet ? Quelle est la nature du signe que la divinité appose sur Caïn ? Pourquoi la civilisation procède-t-elle d'un fratricide ? Du Moyen Âge à nos jours...
Queering Masculinities in Language and Culture
How do we learn what it means to be a man? And how do we learn to question what it means to be a man? This collection comprises a set of original interdisciplinary chapters on the linguistic and cultural representations of queer masculinities in a range of new and older media: television, film, online forums, news reporting, advertising and fiction. This innovative work examines new and emerging forms of gender hybridisation in relation to complex socialisation and immigration contexts including the role of EU institutions in ascertaining asylum seekers’ sexual orientation, and the European laws on gender policy. The book employs numerous analytical approaches including critical discourse ...

Wandering through Guilt
The first comprehensive study on the pattern of guilt and wandering in literature, this book examines the relationship between the two complex concepts as they appear in twentieth-century novels, positing its methodological premises on archetypal criticism and both close and distant reading, but also drawing on psychology, anthropology, mythology, and religion. This research deciphers a common paradigm and literary representation whose archetype within Western literature is found in the biblical figure of Cain, while presenting a critical framework valid for boundary-crossing comparative approaches. From Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory and Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano, to Wo...
Les mythes des avant-gardes
Dans leur quête d'un art radicalement neuf, les avant-gardes ont souvent prétendu au refus du mythe. Elles ont cependant maintenu une relation paradoxale avec lui. Ce qu'elles ont le mieux réussi à capter, du mythe, c'est son historicité, son métissage constant des traditions, sa capacité à exprimer un but impossible à atteindre.
Cultural Reformations
The deepest periodic division in English literary history has been between the medieval and the early modern. 'Cultural Reformations' initiates discussion on many fronts in which both periods look different in dialogue with each other.
