L’Esthétique Populiste - « L’Amour Du Peuple » Dans La Culture Française De L’Entre-Deux-Guerres

by Matthias Kern

156,35€ + 10% CARD

 Le roman populiste, mouvement littéraire de l''entre-deux-guerres, est souvent considéré comme un phénomène éphémère de l''histoire littéraire. Si l''on relit les romans du groupe formé autour du romancier Léon Lemonnier dans leur contexte historique, il apparaît toutefois que ce courant résume parfaitement l''imaginaire et les préceptes esthétiques de l''époque. En proposant une relecture des auteurs les plus influents du roman populiste (Eugène Dabit, Pierre Mac Orlan, Henry Poulaille...) et en étudiant leur influence sur le cinéma du réalisme poétique (qui compte des réalisateurs comme Marcel Carné ou Julien Duvivier), ce livre propose la première analyse profonde de l''esthétique populiste qui s’établit au cours des années 1929-1935. Grâce à son approche intermédiatique et à un cadre théorique conjuguant la narratologie culturelle et la sociocritique, cet ouvrage constitue une contribution essentielle à l''histoire culturelle de la France de l''entre-deux-guerres.

Molière Et Le Théâtre Arabe - Réception Moliéresque Et Identités Nationales Arabes

by Angela Daiana Langone

3,96€ + 10% CARD

 Aucun pays n’est resté indifférent au génie de Molière, ses pièces ne cessant d’être traduites, adaptées et jouées de par le monde. Plus qu’ailleurs, ses oeuvres ont eu un impact décisif dans le polysystème culturel du monde arabe puisque l’introduction du théâtre occidental dans les pays arabes s’est faite essentiellement par le biais des adaptations du répertoire moliéresque. Considéré encore aujourd’hui par certains comme le «parrain du théâtre arabe», Molière arrive dans la culture arabe grâce à une adaptation de L’Avare en 1847 par le libanais Marun Naqqaš: à partir de ce moment, la dramaturgie arabe ne manquera de puiser largement à la production moliéresque. À travers un corpus de pièces arabes provenant du Liban, de l’Egypte, de la Tunisie et du Maroc, composées pour la plupart en arabe dialectal, ce travail entend définir la place de Molière dans la genèse du théâtre arabe moderne et vérifier si les adaptations ont joué un rôle politique en contribuant à forger l’identité nationale dans les pays arabes. Est-ce un simple fruit du hasard si le nationalisme émerge dans le monde arabe presque parallèlement au théâtre? Molière et le théâtre arabe a reçu en 2016 le Prix d''encouragement à la recherche de l''Académie des sciences d''outre-mer (Paris).

Le Théâtre « De L’Absurde » En Rfa - Les Œuvres D’Adamov, Beckett, Genet Et Ionesco Outre-Rhin

by Marie-Christine Gay

233,86€ + 10% CARD

 Le présent volume examine le processus de transfert et les modalités de réception en Allemagne de l’Ouest du théâtre français « de l’absurde », à travers les œuvres de ses principaux représentants : Arthur Adamov, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet et Eugène Ionesco. À partir d''archives inédites, l''ouvrage retrace les trajectoires des différents médiateurs de cette importation culturelle, en détaille la chronologie et les nombreux supports - théâtraux, radiophoniques ou encore télévisuels. Il documente les différentes étapes qui ont marqué la circulation des œuvres dans le paysage théâtral ouest-allemand entre 1949 et 1989, de leur découverte par les maisons d’éditions à leurs traductions et mises en scène majeures, et jusqu''à leur réception par la presse spécialisée et le grand public. Il montre notamment que le répertoire - par nature cosmopolite - du théâtre « de l’absurde » a été doté, dans la culture d’accueil ouest-allemande, d’une dimension internationale qui a favorisé son intégration. Ce travail de synthèse jette ainsi un nouvel éclairage non seulement sur l’histoire théâtrale, mais aussi sur les relations culturelles franco-allemandes de 1949 à 1989.

In The Footsteps Of Dante - Crossroads Of European Humanism

120,58€ + 10% CARD

 Dante, the pilgrim, is the image of an author who stubbornly looks ahead, seeking and building the "Great Beyond" (Manguel). Following in his footsteps is therefore not a return to the past, going à rebours, but a commitment to the future, to exploring the potential of humanity to "transhumanise". This dynamic of self-transcendence in Dante’s humanism (Ossola), which claims for European civilisation a vocation for universalism (Ferroni), is analysed in the volume at three crucial moments: Firstly, the establishment of an emancipatory relationship between author and reader (Ascoli), in which authorship is authority and not power; secondly, the conception of vision as a learning process and horizon of eschatological overcoming (Mendonça); finally, the relationship with the past, which is never purely monumental, but ethically and intertextually dynamic, in an original rewriting of the original scriptural, medieval, and classical culture (Nasti, Bolzoni, Bartolomei). A second group of contributions is dedicated to the reconstruction of Dante’s presence in Portuguese literature (Almeida, Espírito Santo, Figueiredo, Marnoto, Vaz de Carvalho): they attest to the innovative impact of Dante’s work even in literary traditions more distant from it.

Perspectives On Dante Politico - At The Crossroads Of Arts And Sciences

~~135,15€~~ 121,64€ 10% OFF

 This book argues that political concerns, inseparable from Dante’s biography, permeate his entire corpus, emerging at the intersection of the multiple fields of knowledge he explores, from the liberal arts to law, philosophy, and theology. It also shows that Dante, by elucidating the natural integration of the humanities with the sciences, continues to be a source of provocative insights and inspirations on how to be political beings today. Preceded by an introductory chapter focused on politics and education, the essays collected in the volume offer a range of close textual and contextual readings of Dante’s life and works grouped in four parts: 1. The Self and History, 2. Visions of the World: Cosmology and Utopia, 3. From the Language of Politics to the Language of Theology, 4. Instances of Political Reception in Asia and South America. The different disciplinary angles adopted by the contributors include history, economics, jurisprudence, linguistics, ethics, metaphysics, theology, cosmology, social thought, ecology, education, and the performing and visual arts. The collection addresses a specialized audience of Dante scholars, medievalists, historians, political philosophers and scientists, reception scholars, and legal and cultural historians.

Representing Algerian Women - Kateb, Dib, Feraoun, Mammeri, Djebar

by Edward John Still

134,49€ + 10% CARD

 This monograph explores the ways in which canonical Francophone Algerian authors, writing in the late-colonial period (1945-1962), namely Kateb Yacine, Mohammed Dib, Mouloud Feraoun, Mouloud Mammeri and Assia Djebar, approached the representation of Algerian women through literature. The book initially argues that a masculine domination of public fields of representation in Algeria contributed to a postcolonial marginalization of women as public agents. However, it crucially also argues that the canonical writers of the period, who were mostly male, both textually acknowledged their inability to articulate the experiences and subjectivity of the feminine Other and deployed a remarkable variety of formal and conceptual innovations in producing evocations of Algerian femininity that subvert the structural imbalance of masculine symbolic hegemony. Though it does not shy from investigating those aspects of its corpus that produce ideologically conditioned masculinist representations, the book chiefly seeks to articulate a shared reluctance concerning representativity, a pessimism regarding the revolution''s capacity to deliver change for women, and an omnipresent subversion of masculine subjectivity in its canonical texts.

Power And Literature - Strategies Of Subversiveness In The Romanian Novel

by Florin Oprescu

168,28€ + 10% CARD

 At the core of this book lies the relation between Power (as socio-political phenomenon) and the novel (as literary discourse). It shows that, in a society facing the excess of power in its various forms, novelistic fiction mediates knowledge about societal Power structures and uses specific strategies to subvert and denounce them. The first part of the study is theoretical: it presents some of the most prominent theories of Power, from Plato, Machiavelli, Nietzsche to Weber, Dahl, Lukes, Parsons, Bourdieu or Foucault. After offering a critical approach to the concepts of Power defined in the social, political and philosophical fields, it articulates the relations of Power imprinted in literary discourse within a typology of four categories. In the second part of the book, this taxonomy of Power is applied to four key novels in the context of Romanian "literary crossroads", showing how novelistic fiction not only assume a critical and subversive position against the excess of Power, but also unveils our fragility when experiencing History.

Petrarch And Boccaccio - The Unity Of Knowledge In The Pre-Modern World

Despite this fact, there is still no scholarly contribution entirely devoted to analysing their intellectual revolution. Internationally renowned scholars are invited to discuss and rethink the historical, intellectual, and literary roles of Petrarch and Boccaccio between the great model of Dante’s encyclopedia and the ideas of a double or multifaceted culture in the era of Italian Renaissance Humanism. In his lyrical poems and Latin treatises, Petrarch created a cultural pattern that was both Christian and Classical, exercising immense influence on the Western World in the centuries to come. Boccaccio translated this pattern into his own vernacular narratives and erudite works, ultimately claiming as his own achievement the reconstructed unity of the Ancient Greek and Latin world in his contemporary age. The volume reconsiders Petrarch’s and Boccaccio’s heritages from different perspectives (philosophy, theology, history, philology, paleography, literature, theory), and investigates how these heritages shaped the cultural transition between the end of the Middle Ages and the early modern era, as well as European identity.</body></html>

Writing-Between-Worlds - Transarea Studies And The Literatures-Without-A-Fixed-Abode

by Ottmar Ette

134,49€ + 10% CARD

 This book proposes that there is no better, no more complex way to access a community, a society, an era and its cultures than through literature. For millennia, literature from a wide variety of geocultural areas has gathered knowledge about life, about survival, and about living together, without either falling into discursive or disciplinary specializations or functioning as a regulatory mechanism for cultural knowledge. Literature is able to offer its readers knowledge through direct participation in the form of step-by-step intellectual and affective experiences. Through this ability, it can reach and affect audiences across great spatial and temporal distances. Literature what different times and cultures have been able to understand as such in a broad sense has always been characterized by its transareal and transcultural origins and effects. It is the product of many logics, and it teaches us to think polylogically rather than monologically. Literature is an experiment in living, and living in a state of experimentation. About the author Ottmar Ette has been Chair of Romance Literature at the University of Potsdam, Germany, since 1995. He is Honorary Member of the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) (elected in 2014), member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (elected in 2013), and regular member of the Academia Europaea (since 2010).
