Médée, Clytemnestre, Phèdre
This study breaks with traditional readings in terms of tragic model and tragic hero in the works of Racine and Corneille. It departs from the critical tradition of examining the tragic hero as an isolated figure, defined by autonomy; it approaches the behaviour of Médée, Clytemnestre, and Phèdre from a relational perspective. It argues that these female characters belong to the tragic hero category, hold valid and valuable ethical positions and deserve to be treated as equal to their male counterparts. It also redefines the way we look at the tragic dynamic. The characters are no longer antagonists but inadvertent collaborators working towards the tragic outcome in order to satisfy desires and beliefs about themselves and the world that are deeply rooted in their psyche. This book shows that alternative interpretations of the behaviour of Médée, Clytemnestre and Phèdre can be obtained and must be obtained by applying modern methodologies in order to challenge the biased readings from the past and to see these characters in a new light.

Le dandy entre littérature et histoire
Volume Editor:
Narcisse ? Cambrioleur ? Illusionniste ? Le dandy n’arrête pas de changer de rôles, de se mettre en scène afin de protéger son moi véritable et garder son indépendance. Or, ne l’oublions pas, sa première obligation est d’étonner. En tant que maître du jeu des apparences, il s’invente des poses et s’amuse à cacher son visage derrière de nombreux masques pour dérouter son public. De Fortunio à Arsène Lupin, sans oublier la femme dandy, de Saint-Just à Romain Gary, les seize études du présent ouvrage font défiler une exceptionnelle galerie de figures qui jalonnent l’histoire du dandysme. On y découvrira l’art d’être dandy et des incarnations inattendues, voire surprenantes de ce personnage mystérieux, aussi bien littéraires qu’historiques. Haut les masques donc ! Que le spectacle commence !
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!

Depuis des décennies, les écrivain/es, cinéastes, artistes et autres s’intéressent à la problématique féminine dans leurs productions artistiques. Leurs productions narratives variées mettent en discussion les termes de féminismes et de sororités dans des contextes culturels et politiques divers. Notre livre se propose d’explorer les différents aspects de la solidarité féminine et du féminisme, des combats individuels et communs des femmes et de leur affirmation sociale à travers les époques et les divers continents. Le livre est conçu comme une approche diachronique, interdisciplinaire et intergénérationnelle à la thématique des féminismes contemporains vus à travers les liens de sororité et de solidarité féminine (ou bien de leur manque) au long des siècles et dans les différentes aires de la francophonie. Les angles théoriques sont divers : théories de genre, théories raciales, théories sociocritiques, théories anthropologiques, Girlhood Studies et Cultural Studies entre autres.
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.

These volumes offer the first critical edition of the Chronique d’Ernoul and the so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone studying the subject.
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.

Flüchtigkeit und Performativität in der Gegenwartslyrik aus Québec: Rosalie Lessard, François Rioux, Maggie Roussel
Wie können Gedichte das Flüchtige – l'éphémère, le fugitif – nicht nur zum Thema und Motiv machen, sondern selbst erzeugen? In Gedichtbänden von Rosalie Lessard, François Rioux und Maggie Roussel charakterisiert Flüchtigkeit das Lebensgefühl in einer schnelllebigen, globalisierten und digitalisierten Welt. Sie geht dabei Hand in Hand mit dem Performativen. Doch Flüchtigkeit ist keine Erfindung der Gegenwartspoesie. Die Studie klassifiziert verschiedene, auch zeitspezifische Erscheinungsweisen des Ephemeren anhand eines neuen Merkmalkatalogs und präsentiert Kategorien performativer Verfahren der Nähe und Distanz. Bestimmte performative Strategien der Gedichte machen das Flüchtige im Akt der Lektüre spürbar. Gezeigt wird, dass es ein besonderer Bezug zum Performativen, zur Performance und zum Flüchtigen ist, der die aktuelle Poesie in Québec zu einem eigenen Phänomen macht.

Vers une France décoloniale?
Series:
Francopolyphonies, Volume: 32
Troisième homme de la négritude, Léon Damas s’alignait sur la Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes, Claude McKay) et Richard Wright, sur des surréalistes comme Apollinaire et G. Luca pour transmettre son message d’urgence : ‘a ti pa’, la France opère sa mue décoloniale. Damas est « l’antillectuel transfuge » qui, traversant les Lignes de couleur, de classe, de genre, annonce la « Cité de demain » où les différences de tout genre sont tolérées et respectées.
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.
