    "Worldwide Women Writers in Paris examines a new literary phenomenon consisting of an unprecedented number of women from around the world who have come to Paris and become authors of written works in French. It takes as its starting point a series of filmed interviews conducted in the French capital, a set of recorded conversations motivated by a desire to pay homage to these discrete voices and images at a moment characterized by impressive diversity. Their individual paths to France and to French are noteworthy, and these authors of different generations and varying places of origin emphasize their singularity. However, the juxtaposition of their reflections reveals that many have faced similar difficulties when learning the French language, adapting to life in France, and many have encountered forms of prejudice in the publishing world related to their ethnicity or gender. These challenges have led them, each in an idiosyncratic manner, to tackle tough topics in their work and to respond to adversity by finding effective creative expressions. Taken together, the innovations and interventions in oral and written form of these authors collectively contribute to significant change in the specialized score that is the Parisian literary landscape: Hélène Cixous (Algeria); Zahia Rahmani (Algeria); Leïla Sebbar (Algeria); Bessora (Belgium); Julia Kristeva (Bulgaria); Pia Petersen (Denmark); Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe); Eva Almassy (Hungary); Shumona Sinha (India); Chahdortt Djavann (Iran); Yumiko Seki (Japan); Evelyne Accad (Lebanon); Etel Adnan (Lebanon); Nathacha Appanah (Mauritius); Brina Svit (Slovenia); Eun-Ja Kang (South Korea); Anna Moï (Vietnam)."--Dust jacket

Le présent ouvrage donne une vue d’ensemble des recherches actuelles consacrées à l’émigration russe en France. Il ose une approche nouvelle en confrontant les émigrés russes réels, dont de nombreux écrivains et poètes russes transitant par la France ou s’y installant, aux figures fictionnelles reflétant les retentissements de ces flux migratoires dans l’imaginaire du pays d’accueil. Le choix inhabituel d’une période très longue, du début du XIXe siècle à nos jours, permet de suivre les continuités et les évolutions, des migrations passagères et cas individuels sous le régime tsariste aux différentes vagues de l’émigration après la Révolution russe. Le recueil se compose d’une trentaine d’articles rédigés par des chercheurs internationaux, spécialistes de littératures russe, française et comparée. Leurs contributions, qui rendent compte de la complexité du phénomène, sont accompagnées de plusieurs témoignages ainsi que de nombreuses illustrations permettant de visualiser aussi bien la réalité que la fiction de l’émigration russe en France

Memory and memory studies have shaped a major site of humanities research over the last twenty years. Examined by ethnographers, archaeologists, social scientists, historians, economists, archivists, art historians, and literary scholars, the theme of memory – individual memory and memoir, collective memory, official memory and oral memory, cultural memory and popular memory – has informed academic discourse and formed institutional structures. Yet, the matter of memory is, paradoxically, under-explored in studies of the ‘long nineteenth century’ in France. Mapping Memory in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Culture focuses critical attention on that neglected century when France was struggling to negotiate the serially renewed memory of revolutionary turmoil and socio-cultural redefinition. This volume explores the spaces that the memory process claims and shapes, and it works to identify the crosscurrents that connect those spaces. It asks how memory resists – or cedes to – colonisations by authority, by official discourse, by history, and by aesthetics. It asks how memory-work coincides with or morphs into the processes of the imagination. Eschewing diachronic approaches, the contributors to this volume explore sites around which memory is concentrated or which it shapes and informs: Memory on the Street; Sites of National Memory; Metamorphoses: Memory and Literary Practice; and Memory’s Imaginary Spaces

This collection of essays presents new research on the work of Romanian writers who chose French as a literary language. Romanian is itself, of course, a Romance language, and there is a long history of close Franco-Romanian ties. But given the complex and often multilingual cultural heritage of these writers–whose influences included German, Russian, and Ottoman–their contribution to French literature represents a unique hybrid form of francophonie . And yet unlike the literary production of former French colonies, this work has received little scholarly attention as a contribution to French literature. This book aims to rectify this situation. Focusing on the historical, cultural, and artistic links between France and Romania in the twentieth century from the standpoint of such figures as Tristan Tzara, Anna de Noailles, Panaït Istrati, Eugène Ionesco, Isidore Isou, and E.M. Cioran, the essays develop innovative and insightful perspectives with regard to the work of individual authors. The volume as a whole will thus serve to reshape prevailing conceptions of Francophone literary production and to expand fundamentally the conceptual boundaries of Francophone Studies

For 150 years the French public and literati have enjoyed a love affair with crime fiction. This book investigates the nature of this relationship and how through periods of dramatic social and political change in France it has flourished. It challenges the conventional view of a popular genre feeding a niche market, depicting crime fiction instead as a field of creative endeavour, which has gradually matured into one of considerable literary fertility. By inviting us to share secrets and crack codes, creating suspense and (at times) not shirking from presenting horrific events in graphic language, the crime story brings into play the intellect and emotions of its readership. This book explores both this intrinsic literary value of the crime novel and its extrinsic witness to historical events and cultural trends, arguing that these apparently distinct aspects are in fact dynamic, interrelated parts of the same whole. This blend of cultural history with literary analysis allows for the discussion of themes such as politics, memory, the urban environment and youth cultures, mixed with case studies of major French crime writers, including Gaston Leroux, Georges Simenon, Jean-Patrick Manchette, Daniel Pennac and Fred Vargas

From Sade at one end of the nineteenth century to Freud at the other, via many French novelists and poets, pleasure and pain become ever more closely entwined. Whereas the inseparability of these themes has hitherto been studied from isolated perspectives, such as psychoanalysis, sadism and sado-masochism, melancholy, or post-structuralist textual jouissance , the originality of this collaborative volume lies in its exploration of how pleasure and pain function across a broader range of contexts. The essays collected here demonstrate how the complex relationship between pleasure and pain plays a vital role in structuring nineteenth-century thinking in prose fiction (Balzac, Flaubert, Musset, Maupassant, Zola), verse and the memoir as well as socio-cultural studies, medical discourses, aesthetic theory and the visual arts. Featuring an international selection of contributors representing the full range of approaches to scholarship in nineteenth-century French studies – historical, literary, cultural, art historical, philosophical, and sociopolitical – the volume attests to the vitality, coherence and interdisciplinarity of nineteenth-century French studies and will be of interest to a wide cross-section of scholars and students of French literature, society and culture

Cette étude propose une interprétation inédite ainsi qu’un commentaire détaillé des Illuminations , texte qui défie depuis plus d’un siècle l’ingéniosité des spécialistes de Rimbaud. À l’encontre du parti pris des exégètes actuels qui préconisent une approche fragmentaire ou polyphonique, cette nouvelle lecture soutient que l’hermétisme rimbaldien se prête à une lecture systématique et univoque. L’obscurité du recueil résulte d’un codage à la fois textuel et intertextuel. Les transformations textuelles se modèlent sur les tropes de la rhétorique classique (métaphores, métonymies, périphrases). Le décryptage des énigmes réservera bien des surprises aux lecteurs, en révélant, par exemple, que les « chalets de cristal et de bois qui se meuvent sur des rails et des poulies invisibles » ne sont autres que des nuages bicolores mus par le vent. Loin d’être un jeu d’association surréaliste, l’hermétisme des Illuminations ne dérive pas du rejet mais du recyclage de la tradition littéraire. Aussi le commentaire signale-t-il toutes les formes d’intertextualité exploitées par le poète : lieux communs, citations, allusions et pastiches. Cette étude qui n’esquive aucune difficulté du texte ne s’adresse pas seulement aux connaisseurs, mais saura captiver aussi les nombreux admirateurs d’une œuvre dont le poète n’est désormais plus le seul à avoir la clef

Mirrors are mesmerizing. The rhetorical figure that represents a mirror is called a chiasmus , a pattern derived from the Greek letter X (Chi). This pattern applies to sentences such as “one does not live to eat ; one eats to live .” It is found in myths, plays, poems, biblical songs, short stories, novels, epics. Numerous studies have dealt with repetition, difference, and Narcissism in the fields of literature, music, and art. But mirror structures, per se , have not received systematic notice. This book analyses mirror imagery, scenes, and characters in French prose texts, in chronological order, from the 17th to the 20th centuries. It does so in light of literal, metaphoric, and rhetorical structures. Works analysed in the traditional French canon, written by such writers as Laclos, Lafayette, and Balzac, are extended by studies of texts composed by Barbey d’Aurevilly, Georges Rodenbach, Jean Lorrain, and Pieyre de Mandiargues. This work appeals to readers interested in linguistics, French history, psychology, art, and material culture. It invites analyses of historical and ideological contexts, rhetorical strategies, symmetry and asymmetry. Ovid’s Narcissus and Alice in Wonderland are paradigms for the study of micro and macro-structures. Analyses of mirrors as cultural artefacts are significant to Lowrie’s sight seeing

    Preliminary Material -- Acknowledgements -- Illustrations -- Introduction -- Capturing Cultural Encounter -- The Literature of Encounter -- Threat and the Near East -- The East Indies: le Jardin de l’Orient -- Aventures in the Orient -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. Travel narratives were the principal source of knowledge about the lands of the Near East and the Indian Ocean Basin in 17th-century France. Claiming the authority of first-hand observation, they paradoxically rely for their legitimization on the tropes of an established literary tradition. The status of these texts remained ambiguous, not least because of their anecdotal depictions of great riches, brutality or sexual promise. Drawing on the insights of post-colonial scholarship, this study tackles a question given scant attention in previous work and suggests that beyond the hazy representation of the Orient, an opposition emerges between the threatening Near East and the indolent East Indies. Distinguishing recognizable representations from those generated by new encounters, this book questions the feasibility of cultural representation through travel, exploring a large corpus of original sources written by French ecclesiastics, gentlemen-travellers, ambassadors and adventurers. Linguistic, religious, cultural or geographical barriers meant most travellers remained distanced from the peoples about whom they would simultaneously become authoritative. The encounter was further transformed in narratives that were intended to entertain and to satisfy the criterion of curiosité . The ‘Oriental’ that emerges is a supremely variable entity, alternately naked or veiled, barbaric or civilized, menacing or attractive

Day. Stories of violence — such as the account in Genesis of Cain’s jealousy and murder of Abel — have been with us since the time of the earliest recorded texts. Undeniably, the scourge of violence fascinates, confounds, and saddens. What are its uses in literature — its appeal, forms, and consequences? Anchored by Alice Kaplan’s substantial contribution, the thirteen articles in this volume cover diverse epochs, lands, and motives. One scholar ponders whether accounts of Huguenot martyrdom in the sixteenth-century might suggest more pride than piety. Another assesses the real versus the true with respect to a rape scene in The Heptameron . Female violence in fairy tales by Madame d’Aulnoy points to gender politics and the fragility of female solidarity, while another article examines similar issues in the context of Ananda Devi’s works in present-day Mauritius. Other studies address the question of sadism in Flaubert, the unstable point of view of Emmanuel Carrère’s L’Adversaire , the ambivalence toward violence in Chamoiseau’s Texaco , the notions of “terror” and “tabula rasa” in the writings of Blanchot, the undoing of traditions of narrative continuity and authority in the 1998 film, À vendre , and consequences of the power differential in a repressive Haiti as depicted in the film Vers le Sud (2005). Paradoxes emerge in several studies of works where victims may become perpetrators, or vice versa

Qu’Arthur Rimbaud ait prélevé dans les Poésies d’Isidore Ducasse l’essentiel de sa fameuse lettre du Voyant, est-ce concevable ? Pourquoi Flaubert, dans l’un de ses Trois Contes , chercha-t-il à se mesurer au Julien de Stendhal ? Comment Céline peut-il successivement s’inscrire dans la filiation de Zola et du polar américain ? Enfin, imagine-t-on qu’un écrivain aussi contesté que Michel Houellebecq ait commencé par refaire scolairement du Camus ? Jusqu’à quelles profondeurs du texte nous faut-il descendre avant de voir se déployer les menus effets d’une intertextualité pourtant débordante ? Il n’est, pour s’en apercevoir, nul besoin de plonger dans les abysses de l’œuvre, tout se jouant à la surface, entre les lignes du texte. Une généalogie entière se reconstitue au moindre trait de plume. Que ce soit en hommage ou par rivalité, la littérature se reproduit par mimétisme et l’on trouve, logé au cœur de la création, des petits mécanismes de copiage infiniment efficaces qui assurent sa transmission. D’où la nécessité du plagiat, considéré ici non pas comme une action illicite, mais comme opération de transformation créatrice : l’impureté étant à la base des procédés de fabrication littéraire, tout écrivain, lorsqu’il capte un bout de code d’un autre, y ajoute aussitôt une plus-value qui n’appartient qu’à lui. Et si les auteurs ont systématiquement recours à des textes existants, qu’ils reprennent tout en les défaisant, c’est qu’il n’est pas d’autre voie pour entrer en littérature. Derrière chacun des auteurs que nous allons aborder ici, un autre se tient caché, prêt à se manifester cependant, pour autant que le lecteur veuille bien lui faire signe
