Reading the Nonhuman:Literary Studies in the Anthropocene by Tadeusz Rachwał

“…I connect such approaches with post-structural theories, finding in them connections with the later readings of the Anthropocene and their critique of anthropocentrism. Roland Barthes’s “deauthoration” of literary works clearly gestures towards an opening to the other, which in more recent approaches has been adapted into complex networks and connections with Donna Haraway’s companion species. …”

Colonialism, Difference and Exoticism in the Formation of a Postcolonial Metanarrative by Vasant Kaiwar

“…Mobilisant un métarécit très éclectique constitué de bribes de post-structuralisme, de post-modernisme, de romantisme, en passant par l’Ecole de Francfort et le maoïsme, elle est parvenue à réduire l’horizon critique à l’alternative entre résistance aléatoire et capitulation devant la séduction de la marchandise, et ce, au moment même où les manœuvres de capitalisme mondialisé condamnent l’une et l’autre de ces postures à une futilité manifeste.…”

La réception du XXe Congrès dans la région de Gorki by Jean-Paul Depretto

The goal of maturity in Ephesians 4:13-16 by E. D. Mbennah

“… In this article, I argue that, in Ephesians 4:1-16, the author underscores spiritual maturity as the bridge between the new identity of the Christian (Eph. 1-3) and the moral code of the Christian life commensurate with the new identity (Eph. 4:17-6:20).1 I interpret Ephesians 4:13 to obtain the meaning of maturity. I critique the most notable interpretations and views in relation to Ephesians 4:13, after which, by way of structural analysis of Ephesians 4:13, I delineate the meaning of maturity and determine that, from its essence, maturity is essential for the Christian. …”

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).…”
