Walt Whitman, passant moderne by Eric Athenot

“…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.…”

"On Being Idolized" : construction d’une identité américaine à travers quelques poèmes de Robert Frost by Candice Lemaire

“…This article explores America’s literary canon through the major New England figure of farmer-poet Robert Frost (1874-1963), who offered a complex vision of American identity in his volumes, from that of the highly-acclaimed national artist to the uneasily translated and understood poet. Frost’s poetry, whose geographical limits are often blurred and which seems to constantly question and broaden its own Americanness, will also be analyzed here through its modern illustration in Jim Jarmusch’s movie Down by Law (1986).…”

Le vers comme indice d'artificialité dans le théâtre de T.S. Eliot : The Confidential Clerk by Daniel Jean

“…As a part of his agenda for reinventing Verse Drama for the contemporary stage, which he set out on in wake of WW2, Eliot presented the play as an attempt to make verse acceptable on the stage by using a fashionable form of drama, and by leaving out all poetry. This paper proposes to read the play - irrespective of its author’s prescriptions - as an attempt at underling, by the way of verse as an efficient element of metatheatrical discourse, the very artificiality of theatre.…”
