Walt Whitman, passant moderne by Eric Athenot

“…Starting from an analysis of Whitman’s departure from the Romantic poets’ approach to the urban environment it charts the poems’ progress through various cities and examines the poet’s susceptibility to the language of the working men of Manhattan as the catalyst of his poetic revolution. Elaborating on Baudelaire’s flâneur, the paper finally discusses Whitman’s concept of modernity through an evocation of Manhattan—the city of which the persona of "Song of Myself” proudly calls himself the son—as the idealised territory of a textual democracy in which the reader is made the poet’s equal through an erotics of reading that owes everything to this poetry’s urban origins.…”

A Stiff Man-Child Walking: Derrida’s Economy of Secrecy and Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” by Michael Wainwright

“…Working from Jacques Derrida’s contentions about secrecy and authorial responsibility, and paying brief but specific attention to Charles Baudelaire’s “La fausse monnaie” (1869), as suggested by Derridean concerns over capitalist economics, this article studies the manner in which the inviolable and conditional secrets of William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” (1938) reveal the poststructural tendencies avant la lettre of this leading American modernist.  …”

La nuit américaine dans Noir de Robert Coover by Marc Amfreville

“…Under the highly erotic and conventionally threatening figure of a Black widow, who owes much to Baudelaire’s death ringing passer-by, and by resorting extensively to the poetics of erasure, veiling and claustration, this highly metatextual novel captures in its spider’s web the simulacrum of all detective fiction by pitting it against the anticipated shadow presence of the most ambitious critique (Benjamin, Derrida, Baudrillard).…”
