For the Middle Ages and Renaissance, meaning and power were created and propagated through public performance. Processions, coronations, speeches, trials, and executions are all types of public performance that were both acts and texts: acts that originated in the texts that gave them their ideological grounding; texts that bring to us today a trace of their actual performance. Literature, as well, was for the pre-modern public a type of performance: throughout the medieval and early modern periods we see a constant tension and negotiation between the oral/aural delivery of the literary work and the eventual silent/read reception of its written text. The current volume of essays examines the plurality of forms and meanings given to performance in the Middle Ages and Renaissance through discussion of the essential performance/text relationship. The authors of the essays represent a variety of scholarly disciplines and subject matter: from the “performed” life of the Dominican preacher, to coronation processions, to book presentations; from satirical music speeches, to the rendering of widow portraits, to the performance of romance and pious narrative. Diverse in their objects of study, the essays in this volume all examine the links between the actual events of public performance and the textual origins and subsequent representation of those performances

    Preliminary Material -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- RELOCATING THE STAGE: REFLECTIONS ON EARLYMODERN THEATRE CULTURE -- “ALL THE ILLMAN CAN INVENT”: JOHNWEBSTER AND HIS DUCHESS -- LOOK WHO’S TALKING (PLAINLY): DANGEROUS ELOQUENCE IN THE ATHEIST’S TRAGEDY -- MEMORY, MIMESIS AND THE MATERIAL: CHAPMAN’S SCENE OF WRITING (THE LAW) -- THEATRICAL EXCESS, CRITICAL PRACTICE: WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN AND THE SHAPING OF A BOURGEOIS AESTHETIC -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX. Jacobean tragedy is typically seen as translating a general dissatisfaction with the first Stuart monarch and his court into acts of calculated recklessness and cynical brutality. Drawing on theoretical influences from social history, psychoanalysis and the study of discourses, this innovative book proposes an alternative perspective: Jacobean tragedy should be seen in the light of the institutional and social concerns of the early modern stage and the ambiguities which they engendered. Although the stage’s professionalization opened up hitherto unknown possibilities of economic success and social advancement for its middle-class practitioners, the imaginative, linguistic and material conditions of their work undermined the very ambitions they generated and furthered. The close reading of play texts and other, non-dramatic sources suggests that playwrights knew that they were dealing with hazardous materials prone to turn against them: whether the language they used or the audiences for whom they wrote and upon whose money and benevolence their success depended. The notorious features of the tragedies under discussion – their bloody murders, intricately planned revenges and psychologically refined terror – testify not only to the anxiety resulting from this multifaceted professional uncertainty but also to theatre practitioners’ attempts to civilize the excesses they were staging

    Preliminary Material -- INTRODUCTION -- LE THEATRE: “EVOLUTION INTERIEURE” -- “VERITES BANALES QUI NOUS TRANSFORMENT” -- “CARACTERES INVISIBLES”/“MOTS DECISIFS” -- “LA LIBERTE SENSUELLE” -- “SE DIRE:” SELF-REALIZATION THROUGH WRITING -- SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY. At the Periphery of the Center is the first comparison of two of France’s most important twentieth-century authors, Julien Green and Marguerite Yourcenar. It examines textual elements in their plays and novels to draw conclusions about the ways that they represent homosexuality in their texts. Both Yourcenar and Green turned to drama to explore aspects of same-sex desire that they felt unable to express in their prose. The analysis of their plays shows that an emphasis on dialogue and action makes drama a particularly appropriate genre for writing about homosexuality because it affords an author distance and therefore protection from the “proclivities” of his characters. The chapters on the novel show, by contrast, how prose fiction allows an author to explain a character's sexuality with a degree of subtlety difficult to achieve in theatre. Variations in narration and paratext allow writers to avoid condemning discourses and to find an original means of expression instead. At the Periphery brings a new, textually centered approach to Green’s and Yourcenar’s works that is unlike the psychological analyses that often typify queer readings. It will be of great interest to scholars of twentieth-century French literature and of Gender Studies. The book will also appeal to non-academic readers, however, since it is about two French authors who were also American citizens and who wrote about US history and contemporary culture

Beyond the obvious and enduring socio-economic ravages it unleashed on indigenous cultures, white settler colonization in Australasia also inflicted profound damage on the collective psyche of both of the communities that inhabited the contested space of the colonial world. The acute sense of alienation that colonization initially provoked in the colonized and colonizing populations of Australia and New Zealand has, recent studies indicate, developed into an endemic, existential pathology. Evidence of the psychological fallout from the trauma of geographical deracination, cultural disorientation and ontological destabilization can be found not only in the state of anomie and self-destructive patterns of behaviour that now characterize the lives of indigenous Australian and Maori peoples, but also in the perpetually faltering identity-discourse and cultural rootlessness of the present descendants of the countries’ Anglo-Celtic settlers. It is with the literary expression of this persistent condition of alienation that the essays gathered in the present volume are concerned. Covering a heterogeneous selection of contemporary Australasian literature, what these critical studies convincingly demonstrate is that, more than two hundred years after the process of colonisation was set in motion, the experience that Germaine Greer has dubbed 'the pain of unbelonging' continues unabated, constituting a dominant thematic concern in the writing produced today by Australian and New Zealand authors

The present volume has as its primary aim readings, from a feminist perspective, of a number of works from Russian literature published over the period in which the ‘woman question’ rose to the fore and reached its peak. All the works considered here were produced in, or hark back to, a fairly narrowly defined period of not quite 20 years (1846-1864) in which issues of gender, of male and female roles were discussed much more keenly than in perhaps any other period in Russian literature. The overall project is summed up by the three key words of this book’s title, narrative, space and gender, and, especially, the interconnections between them. That is, what do the way these stories were told tell us about gender identities in mid-nineteenth-century Russia? Which spaces were central to these fictional worlds? Which spaces suggested which gender identities? The discussions therefore focus on issues of narrative and space, and how they acted as ‘technologies of gender’. This volume will be of interest to all interested in nineteenth-century Russian literature, as well as students of gender, and of the semiotics of narrative space

L’œuvre de Richard Millet, né en 1953, s’impose aujourd’hui comme l’une des plus importantes de ces vingt dernières années. L’objet de ce livre, le premier qui lui soit exclusivement consacré, est d’en éclairer la profondeur singulière, en montrant comment elle dépasse à la fois la géographie et l’autobiographie dans une véritable invention du pays , au double sens de création littéraire et de mise au jour d’un territoire secret. Pour en établir la genèse, il était indispensable de remonter aux livres brefs de la première période, trop souvent négligés au profit des grands romans publiés à partir de La Gloire des Pythre . On suivra donc d’abord le cheminement obstiné d’une écriture entre « matière de Corrèze » (Viam et le plateau de Millevaches) et « matière d’Orient » (les années d’enfance au Liban), dans un dialogue du natal et du lointain qui rend possible le passage au roman. Puis, l’étude du territoire de « Siom », tel que le fondent et l’explorent les cinq romans publiés de La Gloire des Pythre à Ma vie parmi les ombres , sera conçue comme celle d’un « pays apocryphe » (selon Faulkner), nourri des souvenirs et de l’imaginaire du romancier, entre restitution et légende, dans la riche polyphonie des voix narratives

Contemporary research on Caribbean literature displays a rich variety of themes, literary and cultural categories, forms, genres, languages. Still, the concept of a unified Caribbean literary space remains questionable, depending upon whether one strictly limits it to the islands, enlarges it to adopt a Latin-American perspective, or even grants it inter-American dimensions. This book is an ambitious tentative to bring together specialists from various disciplines: neither just French, Spanish, English, or Comparative studies specialists, nor strictly “Caribbean literature” specialists, but also theoreticians, cultural studies scholars, historians of cultural translation and of intercultural transfers. The contributions tackle two major questions: what is the best possible division of labor between comparative literature, cultural anthropology and models of national or regional literary histories? how should one make use of “transversal” concepts such as: memory, space, linguistic awareness, intercultural translation, orature or hybridization? Case studies and concrete projects for integrated research alternate with theoretical and historiographical contributions. This volume is of utmost interest to students of Caribbean studies in general, but also to anyone interested in Caribbean literatures in Spanish, English and French, as well as to students in comparative literature, cultural studies and transfer research

This book attempts for the first time a comparative literary history of Germany and the USA in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its material does not come from the familiar overlaps of individual German and American writers, but from the work of the literary historians of the two countries after 1815, when American intellectuals took Germany as a model for their project to create an American national literature. The first part of the book examines fundamental structural affinities between the two literary histories and the common problems these caused, especially in questions of canon, realism, aesthetics and in the marginalization of popular and women’s writing. In the second part, significant figures whose work straddle the two literatures – from Sealsfield and Melville, Whitman and Thomas Mann to Nietzsche, Emerson and Bellow – are discussed in detail, and the arguments of the first part are shown in their relevance to understanding major writers. This book is not merely comparative in scope: it shows that only international comparison can explain the course of American literary history in the nineteenth and twentieth century. As recent developments in American Studies explore the multi-cultural and ‘hybrid’ nature of the American tradition, this book offers evidence of the dependencies which linked American and German national literary history

While the world seems to be getting ever smaller and globalization has become the ubiquitous buzz-word, regionalism and fragmentation also abound. This might be due to the fact that, far from being the alleged production of cultural homogeneity, the global is constantly re-defined and altered through the local. This tension, pervading much of contemporary culture, has an obvious special relevance for the new varieties of English and the literature published in English world-wide. Postcolonial literatures exist at the interface of English as a hegemonic medium and its many national, regional and local competitors that transform it in the new English literatures. Thus any exploration of a globalization of cultures has to take into account the fact that culture is a complex field characterized by hybridization, plurality, and difference. But while global or transnational cultures may allow for a new cosmopolitanism that produces ever-changing, fluid identities, they do not give rise to an egalitarian ‘global village’ – an asymmetry between centre and periphery remains largely intact, albeit along new parameters. The essays collected in this volume offer readings of literary, theoretical, and filmic texts from the postcolonial world. These texts are read as attempts to articulate the global with the local from a perspective of immersion in the actual diversity of life-worlds, focusing on such issues as consumption, identity-politics, and modes of affiliation. In this sense, they are global fragments: locally refractured figurations of an experience of world-wide interconnectedness

    Preliminary Material -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- ‘SUCH STUFF AS DREAMS ARE MADE ON’: ALLEGORY AND DREAM POETRY -- ‘MUSYNGE ON THIS METELS’: THE RHETORIC OF ALLEGORICAL DYNAMICS -- ‘THE SEAL OF THE ALL-TOO-EARTHLY’: WALTER BENJAMIN AND THE DIALECTIC OF THE ALLEGORICAL SIGN -- PIERS PLOWMAN: LIFE OF A TEXT -- ‘SPECHE, THAT SPIRE IS OF GRACE’: PIERS PLOWMAN AND THE MAGIC OF LANGUAGE -- PIERS PLOWMAN – THE SECOND DREAM -- PIERS PLOWMAN – THE FOURTH AND FIFTH DREAMS -- PIERS PLOWMAN – THE SIXTH, SEVENTH, AND EIGHTH DREAMS -- AFTERWORD: THE WILL TO ‘KYNDE KNOWYNGE’ -- APPENDIX -- ABBREVIATIONS -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX OF NAMES. Readers today no longer relish sustained allegorical narratives the way they did in the Middle Ages, when the art of ‘other-speaking’ was as dominant in poetic discourse as it was elsewhere. Yet we live in an age which, following the postmodernist dictum that any sign can only refer to other signs, has declared all language liable to the ‘allegorical condition’. This paradox has led the author to question the epistemological assumptions underlying allegories composed in an era which, conversely, favoured the oblique form of expression while professing its belief in the divine Logos as the ultimate ground of all meaning. If art and doctrine appear so divided on the subject of allegory in our own day, then might not the relationship between allegorical writing and interpretation in the Middle Ages have been more complex than is often assumed? How solid are the grounds on which Michel Foucault has based his distinction between early modernity and its past - a time when, he claims, the languages of the world were still perceived to make up “the image of the truth”? The present study addresses these and related questions through a heuristic comparison between historically and culturally different approaches to narrative allegory. In her analysis of the late-fourteenth century dream poem Piers Plowman by William Langland, Kasten sets up a critical dialogue between this extraordinary work and Walter Benjamin's study of German baroque allegory, The Origin of German Tragic Drama . Far from serving the narrow purposes of didacticism, she contends, Piers Plowman invites a reconsideration of the very grounds on which (post-) modernity has tried to distance itself from its cultural past

    Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- Women, Politics and Fiction in 1930s France -- Gender and Genre: The Political Novel -- Fictional Representations of Female Commitment -- Politics and Female Sexuality -- Politics and the Maternal Body -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. This study is the first to examine the contribution made by women writers to politically committed literature in 1930s France. Its purpose is to bring to light the work of female authors of left-wing fiction whose novels are comparable to those of well-known male practitioners of littérature engagée , such as Paul Nizan and Louis Aragon. It analyses the work of Madeleine Pelletier, Simone Téry, Edith Thomas, Henriette Valet and Louise Weiss in the context of the inter-war models of committed literature in relation to which they were produced. Consideration of this body of fictional texts, not previously brought together by literary historians, shows how women were able to relate to fiction and to politics in inter-war France. Situating the novels within their social, historical, literary and political environment, the book contributes to the literary and cultural history of twentieth century France. The analysis of inter-war political writing by women calls into question the criteria against which women’s writing has been evaluated by feminist scholarship

En 1908, écrire « un essai sur Ste-Beuve et Flaubert » fait partie des projets de Proust. Certes, il y aura l’article de la NRF , en 1920, « À propos du “style” de Flaubert », mais l'essai annoncé ne verra jamais le jour. Proust aurait-il oublié son auteur de prédilection, celui qu'il imitait si bien dans ses pastiches ? Il n'en est rien. Flaubert est omniprésent dans l'œuvre proustienne mais toujours parfaitement dissimulé. Le dépouillement de la Correspondance , le déchiffrement des manuscrits – la démarche suivie est, en effet, celle de la critique génétique – permettent de transformer une impression de lecture en certitude. Au moment de la conception de son roman, Proust se trouve face à une actualité éditoriale qui met Flaubert à l'honneur. Lecture, relecture vont lui permettre de puiser, dans les œuvres de son prédécesseur, des motifs, des images, des noms, de construire ses personnages féminins, sa représentation de la société et de la création littéraire. À travers l'auteur de L’Éducation sentimentale , une esthétique, faite d'imitation mais aussi de dépassement, de transgression, se construit. Flaubert aura été le double de l'écrivain, réel et fictif, sans cesse tenu à distance

The Endless Theory of Days: The Art and Poetry of Gérard Titus-Carmel seeks to set forth the case for the special, multiple genius of a man who, despite the experience of a biting melancholy resulting from loss, despite an ‘indefectible feeling of estrangement from the world’, despite, too, the corrosive sense of art’s, of languages’s, deceptiveness, has never lost sight of a curious duty to the shadows that haunt and that, with now a strangeness that smiles, yet beckon toward ‘the very place, finally clarified and recognised, of pure evidence. [The place,] that is, where beauty is named’. This place, Gérard Titus-Carmel may feel, lies no doubt impossibly beyond the strict locus of his art and his writing, but it is a place he has struggled with dignity and unceasingly deployed energy to bring to a semblance of incarnation in a vast plastic and poetical oeuvre that has stirred, and will continue to stir, the minds and hearts of all those – from Derrida and Bonnefoy, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Pascal Quignard to Jacques Dupin and Marie-Claire Bancquart, and countless others – who have witnessed its exquisitely solemn unfolding over, today, more than forty years

Caputo -- Contributors. Have we moved beyond postmodernism? Did postmodernism lose its oppositional value when it became a cultural dominant? While focusing on questions such as these, the articles in this collection consider the possibility that the death of a certain version of postmodernism marks a renewed attempt to re-negotiate and perhaps re-embrace many of the cultural, literary and theoretical assumptions that postmodernism seemly denied outright. Including contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field – N. Katherine Hayles, John D. Caputo, Paul Maltby, Jane Flax, among others – this collection ultimately comes together to perform a certain work of mourning. Through their explorations of this current epistemological shift in narrative and theoretical production, these articles work to “get over” postmodernism while simultaneously celebrating a certain postmodern inheritance, an inheritance that can offer us important avenues to understanding and affecting contemporary culture and society

A travers tout le XIXe siècle, l’empire des tsars et ses habitants ont largement inspiré la production littéraire en France. Mais si des recherches se sont intéressées aux récits de voyages, aux journaux et aux correspondances, la Russie en tant qu’objet de la fiction est généralement jugée inintéressante car très éloignée de la réalité. Reposant sur l’analyse d’un corpus de cent textes environs, ce livre se propose de révéler toute la richesse de la Russie et des Russes imaginés par la fiction française du XIXe siècle – un imaginaire effectivement peu fidèle à la réalité russe, mais fortement influencé par le contexte historique des relations franco-russes dont il retrace les hauts et les bas. Trois stades d’évolution se dégagent entre la débâcle napoléonienne de 1812 et la Révolution russe de 1917. Pendant la première moitié du XIXe siècle, l’image de l’autre, du Russe, reprise au XVIIIe siècle se fragmente en plusieurs types. Entre 1855 et 1880 environs, ces types – le tsar, le prince, le Cosaque, le moujik, la femme-martyre et la séductrice – évoluent devant un arrière-plan également stéréotypé et forment un véritable univers imaginaire qu’auteurs et lecteurs identifient comme « russe ». Entre 1880 et 1917 enfin, l’harmonie de l’univers est passagèrement mise en cause par l’intrusion des nihilistes. Cependant, au même moment, de nombreux textes de la décadence recourent aux personnages russes parfaitement excessifs, et la littérature populaire diffuse abondamment le concept de l’âme slave

Venus’ Owne Clerk: Chaucer’s Debt to the “Confessio Amantis” will appeal to all those who value a bit of integration of Chaucer and Gower studies. It develops the unusual theme that the Canterbury Tales were signally influenced by John Gower’s Confessio Amantis , resulting in a set-up which is entirely different from the one announced in the General Prologue . Lindeboom seeks to show that this results from Gower’s call, at the end of his first redaction of the Confessio , for a work similar to his – a testament of love . Much of the argument centres upon the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner, who are shown to follow Gower’s lead by both engaging in confessing to all the Seven Deadly Sins while preaching a typically fourteenth-century sermon at the same time. While not beyond speculation at times, the author offers his readers a well-documented and tantalizing glimpse of Chaucer turning away from his original concept for the Canterbury Tales and realigning them along lines far closer to Gower

Myths of Europe focuses on the identity of Europe, seeking to re-assess its cultural, literary and political traditions in the context of the 21st century. Over 20 authors – historians, political scientists, literary scholars, art and cultural historians – from five countries here enter into a debate. How far are the myths by which Europe has defined itself for centuries relevant to its role in global politics after 9/11? Can ‘Old Europe’ maintain its traditional identity now that the European Union includes countries previously supposed to be on its periphery? How has Europe handled relations with the non-European Other in the past and how is it reacting now to an influx of immigrants and asylum seekers? It becomes clear that founding myths such as Hamlet and St Nicholas have helped construct the European consciousness but also that these and other European myths have disturbing Eurocentric implications. Are these myths still viable today and, if so, to what extent and for what purpose? This volume sits on the interface between culture and politics and is important reading for all those interested in the transmission of myth and in both the past and the future of Europe

This interdisciplinary collection of critical articles seeks to reassess the concept of hybridity and its relevance to post-colonial theory and literature. The challenging articles written by internationally acclaimed scholars discuss the usefulness of the term in relation to such questions as citizenship, whiteness studies and transnational identity politics. In addition to developing theories of hybridity, the articles in this volume deal with the role of hybridity in a variety of literary and cultural phenomena in geographical settings ranging from the Pacific to native North America. The collection pays particular attention to questions of hybridity, migrancy and diaspora

    Preliminary Material -- Prologue -- Accessing the Secret Country -- Nameless Implications: The Haunting Vestiges of the Paternal Past in Machine Dreams -- A House Divided: Class Divergence in Machine Dreams -- Preparing for Take-Off: Autochthony and Flight in Machine Dreams -- Structures of Retrospect: The Inescapable Past in Fast Lanes -- Dislocations: Retracing the Erased in Shelter -- Fantastical Remembrances: Sexual Desire in Shelter -- Leaving the Fatherland: Emasculation and Exodus in Shelter -- The Experience of Separation in MotherKind -- Textured Memories: The Remnants of a Paternal Past in MotherKind -- Almost Magical: Once upon a time … in MotherKind -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. The Secret Country is the first monograph on the work of the contemporary American novelist Jayne Anne Phillips. Through detailed and innovative textual analysis this study considers the southern aspects of Phillips’ writing. Robertson demonstrates the importance of Phillips’ place within the southern literary canon by identifying the echoes of William Faulkner, Katherine Anne Porter and Edgar Allan Poe that permeate her work. Phillips’ complex attachments to a regional past are explored through both psychoanalytical and historical materialist approaches, revealing not only the writer’s distinctly southern preoccupations, but also her reflections on contemporary American society. Tracing the family dynamics in Phillips’ work from the turn of the twentieth century to the present, this book examines the effects of increased modernization and capitalization on everyday interactions, and questions the nature of the author’s backward glance to the past. This volume is of interest for a wide audience, particularly students and scholars of contemporary southern and American literature

Diese Aufsatzsammlung mit Originalbeiträgen deutscher, britischer, belgischer und amerikanischer Germanistinnen und Germanisten ist das erste Buch zum literarischen Werk von Reinhard Jirgl, einem der eigensinnigsten deutschen Autoren der Gegenwart. Seine Romane setzen sich mit den Schrecken der deutschen Geschichte im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert auseinander und malen ein ähnlich düsteres Bild der Bundesrepublik nach der Jahrtausendwende. Diese kritische Spurensuche schlägt sich auch in einer intensiven Arbeit an der Sprache nieder, die das Schriftbild zum zentralen Element des Leseerlebnisses macht. Die Beiträge in diesem Band behandeln wichtige Themen in Jirgls literarischen und essayistischen Texten und besprechen alle veröffentlichten Romane des Autors bis einschließlich ABTRÜNNIG (2005). Der Band enthält auch ein Gespräch mit Reinhard Jirgl und eine ausführliche Bibliographie der Primär- und Sekundärliteratur. Diese Veröffentlichung in der Reihe German Monitor soll den Grundstein für die weitere Forschung zum Werk dieses Autors legen und auch für Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen und Literaturwissenschaftler sowie Studierende von Interesse sein, die sich mit der deutschen Gegenwartsliteratur beschäftigen

D. H. Lawrence has suffered criticism for the emotional excess of his language, and for a suspected leaning towards right-wing politics. This book contextualises his style and political values in German culture, especially its Romantic tradition which has been subjected to the same criticism as himself. In his writing Lawrence struggles between opposing German cultural elements from thee eighteenth century onwards, to dramatise the conflicts in Modern European culture and history in the first half of the Twentieth century. The book demonstrates how his failures are integral to his achievements, and how the self-contradictory nature of his art is actually its saving grace. This volume surveys the whole span of Lawrence’s career; it is intended for both students and teachers of the author, and for those interested in the cross cultural relations of European Modernism. Previous studies have tended to outline references in Lawrence’s work to Germany without focusing on the historical, cultural and ideological issues at stake. These issues are the subject of this book

À l’aube de notre jeune XXIe siècle, la critique génétique se trouve enfin en mesure de faire le point sur son passé et de tracer les grandes lignes de son avenir : qu’est-elle susceptible d’apporter à d’autres approches critiques telles que la sociologie, l’intertextualité et l’herméneutique ? Comment modifie-t-elle notre compréhension des œuvres littéraires, ainsi que notre conception du texte ? Pourquoi, trente ans après son émergence dans le paysage critique, continue-t-elle à susciter la méfiance, voire l’hostilité dans les milieux universitaires ? Quelles seront ses pistes d’investigation et problématiques futures ? Quelles nouvelles voies les technologies comme l’hypertexte et les hypermédias ouvrent-elles en matière d’édition et de pédagogie ? Voilà quelques-unes des questions que se sont posées les auteurs du présent volume, spécialistes en critique génétique et en critique littéraire de part et d’autre de la Manche et de l’Atlantique. Illustrant l’activité courante du généticien et soulevant d’importantes questions théoriques, cet ouvrage se veut bilan de la discipline autant que panorama de ses possibles. Dans cette double perspective, il se propose d’évaluer l’état présent des études génétiques, de déterminer leur spécificité parmi les différentes approches critiques du texte, ainsi que d’apprécier l’aptitude de la génétique à réorienter, voire à renouveler la critique littéraire. Résolument interdisciplinaires, les travaux présentés examinent les grands débats qui ont eu lieu à l’intérieur de la discipline et à ses frontières, comparent des cas de genèse s’échelonnant du XVIe au XXe siècle, et tentent d’évaluer les acquis de la critique génétique et son impact sur la théorie et la pratique littéraires

Empirical Studies of Literature in the Classroom /Sonia Zyngier -- Bibliography -- Index. This volume of articles comprises papers from the 25th annual conference of the Poetics and Linguistics Association (PALA), which was held at the University of Huddersfield, England, in July 2005. The theme of the conference was ‘Stylistics and Social Cognition’, and as usual at a PALA conference, this theme was interpreted very widely by the participants, as the reader of this book will no doubt conclude. At the heart of this volume, there is something of a reaction against the cognitive developments in stylistics, which might be seen as being in danger of privileging the individual interpretation of literature over something more social. The concern is to consider whether there is a more collective approach that could be taken to the meaning of text, and whether recent insights from cognitive stylistics could work with this idea of collectivity to define something we might call ‘commonality’ of meaning in texts. Stylistics and Social Cognition will be of interest to those working in stylistics and other text-analytic fields such as critical discourse analysis and those concerned with notions of interpretation, collective meaning and human communication
