Les Montand-Signoret jouent Arthur Miller. La première française des Sorcières de Salem by Julie Vatain-Corfdir

“…Looking at a combination of factors – the actors’ personalities, Rouleau’s realistic directing, Aymé’s efficient but ironic adaptation, and the press’s tendency to universalize The Crucible’s political stakes – I attempt to define the modalities of the play’s introduction in France, between enthusiasm and reluctance, recognition of its narrative qualities and distrust of its literary merits.…”

“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambition makes you look [pretty] ugly”: Mass consumption and computer-generated art in Radiohead’s OK Computer by François Hugonnier

“…A man-machine relationship is developed as a socio-political metaphor and a straightforward report, including the use of computers in the crafting of their art. In spite of its ironic playfulness, OK Computer will not escape the commercial and technological mutations it scrutinizes: it is therefore acknowledging, in a performative way, the computer’s win over the band’s scope and music. …”

Keats et de Kooning : Pour un romantisme expressionniste abstrait ou la mise en image de l’épitaphe by Caroline Bertonèche

“…Close in many other ways, despite chronological and geographical differences, the two inspired artists meet around their creative intermingling of the picturesque and the poetic: the rhythmic liquidity, the verse schemes, the chiaroscuros, the ‘dripping’ technique, the ‘erasures’, the fading colours… Keats’s strangely melancholic but also deeply ironic and contrasted lyricism meets de Kooning’s mixed style of painting, torn as it is between the realms of tradition and novelty, of figurative and abstract art. …”

Dialectics of Place and Space in Forster's A Passage to India: A Lacanian Reading by Ercan Tugay Akı

“…This study provides a reading of Forster’s A Passage to India in terms of space from the vantage point of Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to show that the novel fictionalises the dialectics of the place and space and its implications for the British and to argue that the attempt of ideological and semantic appropriation of India by the British ultimately fails and results in an ironical entrapment of the British in the places they created in the midst of the Indian space except for Adela who manages to cope with India without turning it into a place from a space. …”

Migratory Subjectivity in E. Jane Gay’s Choup-nit-ki, With the Nez Percés by Wendy Harding

Pukka English and the Language of the Other in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India by Catherine Lanone

“…Forster opts instead for a deconstruction of the English attempt to appropriate Indian signifiers as a token language positing the superiority of the Raj. Ironically subverting the use of signifiers like « pukka », Forster seeks to open up the text to the very otherness of Indian culture, moving beyond the annihilating echo of the caves to enhance what McBratney sees as the voice of the subaltern in the text, through the orality of songs. …”

Tess of the d’Urbervilles du roman à l’écran : les ambiguïtés du point de vue by Isabelle Gadoin

“…Indeed, Hardy’s narrators, at least in his late fiction, are tantalisingly ambiguous, and tend to act in two highly contradictory ways : appealing to the reader’s sympathy and pity for the plight of the protagonist, while simultaneously undermining this involvement through the critical or ironical interventions of the obtrusive narrator. Hardy’s late fiction can definitely be labelled as « modern » in that it both encourages and defeats narrative illusion, particularly in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, which wavers between fleeting moments of identification with the heroine’s point of view (thanks to internal focalisation) and narratorial corrections of these subjective « moments of vision », to take up the title of later poems. …”
