Download or read book Francophone Literatures written by Belinda Jack and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1996-09-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canon of French literature has been the subject of much debate and now increasingly francophone literatures are demanding more attention in student French literature courses. The first study in English of francophone literatures, this book introduces the diverse bodies of texts in French from the numerous French-speaking areas around the world, with separate sections covering Africa, French Canada, the Creole Islands, and Europe, and will provide students at both undergraduate and 'A' level with a comprehensive introductory survey of the subject. Francophone literatures emerge from rich bi- and multi-lingual cultures in part as colonial legacies. They also challenge the monopoly of the French literary tradition. This introductory survey celebrates the linguistic difference of such texts and the creative possibilities offered by deviance from an established tradition, demanding new critical approaches. The texts studied here cast a new light upon French literature in terms of their diverse perspectives upon writing, history, politics, and culture, their violent rewritings, subversive versions and parodies sometimes forming an elaborate pastiche of celebrated French texts. Guides to further reading, a select bibliography, and an extensive index combine to make the book an extremely readable introductory overview of a hitherto little explored area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aube, apogée, déclin du romantisme: cette courbe épouse la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Incompris de ses contemporains, le poète qui cultive son malheur comme un signe de sa différence est aussi un mage qui prophétise la lumière de l'Avenir. Le conflit de l'individu et de la société est illustré par le théâtre, mieux encore, par le roman dont le rayonnement est favorisé par l'essor de la presse et de l'édition. Après 1850, les doctrines du réalisme et du naturalisme formulent le désir des romanciers d'épouser les ambitions scientifiques de leur époque, tandis que le symbolisme assume le rêve du poète d'exprimer par le livre les mystères du monde. Inauguré par un coup d'Etat, marqué de défaites militaires ou de révolutions qui imposent à la France une succession de régimes, le XIXe siècle s'achève, à Paris, sur une Exposition universelle qui consacre une république enfin sûre d'elle-même. Cet ouvrage prend en compte les mutations politiques, sociales, économiques qui modèlent notre littérature. L'accélération de l'Histoire et le foisonnement des idées ont donné naissance, vers 1880, à l'histoire littéraire. Parler du XIXe siècle, c'est, tout en bénéficiant des acquis toujours renouvelés des sciences humaines, mettre en oeuvre la discipline qui l'a couronné.

Download or read book Complicity in Fin de si cle Literature written by Helen Craske and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complicity in Fin-de-siècle Literature examines late-nineteenth century French understandings of literature as a morally collusive medium, which implicates readers, writers, and critics in risqué or illicit ideas and behaviour. It considers definitions of complicity from the period's evolving legal statutes, critical debates about literary 'bad influence', and modern theories of reader response, in order to achieve a deeper understanding of how cultural production of the period forged relationships of implication and collusion. While focusing on fin-de-siècle French culture, the book's theoretical discussions provide a new terminology and conceptual framework through which to analyse literary influence and reception, applicable to different historical periods and national settings. Interdisciplinary in nature, the study draws on methods associated with close reading, literary history, law and literature studies, cultural studies, and sociology of literature. Each of the book's chapters highlights how particular literary themes or techniques encouraged readers' identification with transgression and facilitated alternative forms of solidarity. The analysis draws on a range of case studies from different media forms, including: Naturalist, Decadent, and psychological novels, biographically revealing fiction ('romans à clefs'), little magazines ('petites revues'), and saucy magazines ('revues légères'). Texts written by well-known literary figures--such as Émile Zola, Octave Mirbeau, and Rachilde--appear alongside previously overlooked periodical and archival sources. The book's varied corpus reveals the widespread appeal of risqué topics and illicit solidarity across the literary spectrum.

Download or read book Reading Culture and Writing Practices in Nineteenth century France written by Martyn Lyons and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between about 1830 and the outbreak of the First World War, print culture, reading, and writing transformed cultural life in Western Europe in many significant ways. Book production and consumption increased dramatically, and practices such as letter- and diary-writing were widespread. This study demonstrates the importance of the nineteenth century in French cultural change and illustrates the changing priorities and concerns of l'histoire du livre since the 1970s. From the 1830s on, book production experienced an industrial revolution which led to the emergence of a mass literary culture by the close of the century. At the same time, the western world acquired mass literacy. New categories of readers became part of the reading public while western society also learned to write. Reading Culture and Writing Practices in Nineteenth-Century France examines how the concerns of historians have shifted from a search for statistical sources to more qualitative assessments of readers' responses. Martyn Lyons argues that autobiographical sources are vitally important to this investigation and he considers examples of the intimate and everyday writings of ordinary people. Featuring original and intriguing insights as well as references to material hitherto inaccessible to English readers, this study presents a form of 'history from below' with emphasis on the individual reader and writer, and his or her experiences and perceptions.
Download or read book Dialogues between Media written by Paul Ferstl and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Literature is changing fast with methodologies, topics, and research interests emerging and remerging. The fifth volume of ICLA 2016 proceedings, Dialogues between Media, focuses on the current interest in inter-arts studies, as well as papers on comics studies, further testimony to the fact that comics have truly arrived in mainstream academic discourse. "Adaptation" is a key term for the studies presented in this volume; various articles discuss the adaptation of literary source texts in different target media - cinematic versions, comics adaptations, TV series, theatre, and opera. Essays on the interplay of media beyond adaptation further show many of the strands that are woven into dialogues between media, and thus the expanding range of comparative literature.

Sa poesie est un ossuaire amenage en boudoiret les voluptes y ont un gout de sacrilege. Et c'est la une premiere nuance que Baudelaire, chretien dechu, mais chretien tout de meme, soit moins le poete du vice que celui du peche (anatole France) et c'en est une autre que, reagissant contre le realisme de Gautier, dedaignant les brutales figures eclatantes et toutes les sauvageries plastiques il ait reve d'exprimer en termes concis et nuances des choses obs cures et toutes les subtilites intimes (barres). On n'a pas assez remarque, en effet, combien cette poesie des Fleurs du mal est souvent classique d'expression Par son gout des singularites psychologiques, Baudelaire a ete autant que Stendhal et sainte-beuve, un educateur fecond et l'un des maitres de l'ecole analytique contemporaine (bourget, Rod, Barres, Son satanisme, son macabre se retrouveront chez Huysmans et chez Roflinat, comme on retrouvera chez les symbolistes son application a saisir les plus secretes correspondances entre les ames et les choses.

Download or read book Around and about Marius Barbeau written by Gordon E Smith and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marius Barbeau (1883-1969) played a vital role in shaping Canadian culture in the twentieth century. Rooted in the premise that his cultural work – in anthropology, fine arts, music, film, folklore studies, fiction, historiography – cannot be read uni-dimensionally, the sixteen articles that comprise this book demonstrate that by merging disciplinary perspectives about Barbeau, evaluations and understandings of the situation around Barbeau can be deepened.
