Narcissus? A burglar? An illusionist? The dandy never stops changing roles, putting himself on stage in order to protect his true self and maintain his independence. But let us not forget that his first obligation is to amaze. As a master of appearances, he invents poses and derives pleasure from hiding his face behind multiple masks to confuse his audience. From Fortunio to Arsène Lupin, not forgetting the dandy woman, from Saint-Just to Romain Gary, the sixteen studies in this book present an exceptional gallery of figures that delineate the history of dandyism. We will discover the art of being a dandy and unexpected, even surprising incarnations (both literary and historical) of this mysterious character. So, masks up! Let the show begin!

For decades now, writers, filmmakers, artists and others have been interested in the feminine issue in their artistic works. Their narratives bring to the light terms such as feminisms and sororities in diverse political and cultural contexts. Our book aims to explore different aspects of feminism and solidarity, of female individual and group struggles and of their social affirmation through the centuries and on different continents. The volume follows a diachronic, interdisciplinary and intergenerational approach on the topic of contemporary feminisms seen through the lens of feminine sororal and solidarity links (or through their lack of) during centuries and in different Francophone geographies. A diverse theoretical approach is present in the volume: from gender theories, racial theories, socio-critical and anthropological theories to Girlhood Studies and Cultural Studies among others.

The Chronique d’Ernoul was completed in the 1230s in northern France. The main part of the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to 1277; it was composed in the Latin East.
Third man of négritude, Léon Damas aligned himself with the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes, Claude McKay), and Richard Wright, as well as with the surrealists like Apollinaire and G. Luca to transmit his urgent message: “a ti pa”, France is little by little undergoing its decolonial transformation. Damas is the “antillectuel transfuge” who crosses boundaries of color, “race”, class and gender. Hereby he announces the “City of tomorrow” where differences of all kind are tolerated and respected.

La revue bilingue Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui a su se faire reconnaître comme une des revues internationales de pointe dans le domaine très dynamique des études beckettiennes. L’un des principes directeurs de cette revue est son ouverture à la diversité des champs d’étude, des perspectives théoriques et des approches stylistiques des chercheurs travaillant sur Beckett. Bilingue depuis sa fondation, la revue cherche à encourager le dialogue entre les langues, les cultures et les disciplines différentes. La revue accueille des propositions en anglais et en français provenant de tous les coins du monde, pourvu que celles-ci, en s’inscrivant dans la liste déjà longue des études sur Beckett, contribuent à apporter une compréhension nouvelle de cette œuvre, tout en répondant aux critères requis de lisibilité et de sérieux scientifique. Les propositions sont soumises au contrôle évaluatif par les pairs.
A partir de 2016, Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui paraître comme une revue. Les livres parus resteront disponibles sous version imprimée.
