    Preliminary Material -- INTRODUCTION -- FLAUBERT : DE L’HISTOIRE A L’ANTHROPOLOGIE: SALAMMBO -- L’ÉDUCATION SENTIMENTALE -- DIGRESSION : LE PARADIGME BIOLOGIQUE ET MEDICAL CHEZ BURCKHARDT ET NIETZSCHE -- ZOLA : DU PROGRES A LA PULSION: ZOLA ET LE NATURALISME -- NANA -- GERMINAL -- ZOLA : PANORAMA ET CONCLUSION -- FONTANE : DESIR ET CONTRAINTE SOCIALE: LES PREDECESSEURS FRANÇAIS -- EFFI BRIEST -- IRRUNGEN, WIRRUNGEN -- CONCLUSION -- BIBLIOGRAPHIE -- INDEX DES NOMS -- TABLE DE MATIERES. En partant du débat actuel qui met en opposition sciences naturelles et sciences humaines et sociales, cette étude s’intéresse à une lutte des paradigmes tout à fait comparable de la fin du XIXe siècle, afin d’analyser, pour la première fois, l’affrontement entre le paradigme historique et le paradigme bio-médical. Deux modèles de la vie humaine y sont en jeu : une vision culturaliste, qui souligne les transformations historiques de l’homme, ses possibilités, ses progrès ; et une vision naturaliste, qui analyse les déterminismes d’une nature humaine constante. Les deux paradigmes ont, à cette époque, une importance primordiale pour la littérature, car ils influencent la description des personnages, voire la structure fondamentale des mondes romanesques. Pour rendre compte de cette confrontation, six romans représentatifs sont sollicités, qui permettent de surcroît de comparer les littératures française et allemande de l’époque : Salammbô et L’Éducation sentimentale de Flaubert ; Nana et Germinal de Zola ; Effi Briest et Irrungen, Wirrungen de Fontane. L’étude s’intéresse avant tout aux sources historiques, médicales et biologiques de ces textes, pour montrer comment le savoir est intégré dans l’œuvre. Elle s’enrichit de perspectives historiques (Michelet, Burckhardt) et philosophiques (Nietzsche)

    Par la puissance métaphorique et la force de modélisation qu'ils revêtent, les savoirs biologiques et leurs représentations suscitent au XIXe siècle la fascination des écrivains. Ceux-ci y trouvent la source d'une nouvelle poésie, d'un imaginaire dépassant la logique positiviste, mais aussi des formes textuelles nouvelles, une poétique, voire une esthétique permettant de redéfinir l'idée du " beau ". Le présent volume étudie l'impact des savoirs biologiques sur la création littéraire du XIXe siècle, en se donnant trois objectifs : (1) étudier la diffusion et la réception des savoirs biologiques par les écrivains du XIXe siècle, en prêtant une attention particulière aux travaux étrangers majeurs en la matière ; (2) analyser l'usage et les fonctions des savoirs biologiques dans les textes littéraires, leurs transformations sur le plan du contenu, de l'écriture et de la poétique, ce qui présuppose aussi l'identification des enjeux idéologiques de ces savoirs ; (3) penser les rapports ou les décalages entre l'histoire des sciences et l'histoire de la littérature, qui tantôt rend compte de débats d'actualité, tantôt au contraire s'inscrit dans des savoirs plus anciens.

    Although the body has been a vast subject for postcolonial studies, few theorists have attempted to go beyond the simple mixing of races in examining the impact of colonialism on the colonized body. However, as Deepika Bahri argues, it is essential to see the postcolonial body in a variety of forms: as capable of transformation not only in psyche and outward behavior but also in flesh and blood. European colonizers brought new ways of seeing the body in matters as basic as how to eat, speak, sit, shit, or spit. As nations decolonized, these imperialistic ideas remained, becoming part of the global economy of the body. In Postcolonial Biology, Bahri argues that the political challenges of the twenty-first century require that we deconstruct these imperial notions of the body, as they are fundamental to power structures governing todays globalized world. Postcolonial Biology investigates how minds and bodies have been shaped by colonial contact, to create deeply embedded hierarchies among the colonized. Moving beyond North/Souththinking, Bahri reframes the questions of postcolonial bodies to address all societies, whether developed or developing. Engaging in innovative, highly original readings of major thinkers such as Adorno, Horkenheimer, Derrida, and Fanon, this book brings an important new focus to the field of postcolonial studies-one that is essential to understanding the ideas and conflicts that currently dominate the global order

    "In this interdisciplinary work, author Ron Edwards offers an innovative rereading of H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Edwards utilizes his twenty-five years in biology and the ethics of animal research to examine the bioethical implications of Wells' work and its relevance to contemporary scientific and philosophical discussions. He tackles the myth of human exceptionalism, the notion that we are fundamentally different from the rest of the animal kingdom. We must view ourselves, he argues, not as from animals, but as animals. The approachable tone is suitable for a wide audience of the scientifically curious. At the same time, great care is given to providing an accurate and considered treatment of the technical aspects of the novel, including the scientific plausibility of Dr. Moreau's experiment. Never before have Wells' ideas been examined in such detail by an evolutionary biologist with the author's considerable experience. The implications are far-reaching, touching on key topics in animal rights, evolution, and the relationship between religion and science. Its approachability and dedication to technical accuracy produces a unique perspective on Wells' classic. Anyone with an interest in confronting some of the central issues of human existence through the lens of fiction will be rewarded with an original and thought-provoking work. "...

    Krementsov examines a particular fascination with the dream of immortality and the place of science and fiction in its pursuit in Russia during roughly a decade that followed the country's political revolutions of 1917. It argues that contemporary scientific experiments aimed at the control over life, death, and disease inspired many Russian writers to conduct their own literary experiments with the ideas and techniques offered by experimental biology and medicine, which found expression in both popular-science writings and a new literary genre, science fiction
