La peur dans The City of Dreadful Night (1874) de James Thomson by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…Although its form is largely indebted to 19th century poetic codes, the mood of The City surprisingly pre-dates the 20th century sense of the tragic and the absurd. One of the epigraphs is drawn from Dante’s Inferno, but in the poem, hell has nothing to do with the punishment the damned undergo in the world beyond. …”

Exilul „concentraţionar” şi poezia ca libertate by Sorin Ivan

“…In such a context, we can talk about the exile poetry and the poetry exile in Caraion’s work, in a world as a vast prison, in an absurd universe, subject to death, in which man lives the condition of an exiled and of a victim, in which even words agonise. …”

Alice’s Non-Anthropocentric Ethics: Lewis Carroll as a Defender of Animal Rights by Anna Kérchy

“…The vanishing and reappearing Cheshire Cat represents language that is ideologically manipulative and poetically subversive and distinguishes the speaking human subject from animals (Lecercle 1994); the Caucus Race led by the Dodo Bird is an absurd rehearsal of the Darwinian evolutionary theory’s competitive struggle for survival (Lovell-Smith 2007), while the dormouse in the teapot evokes how the ownership of certain animals could indicate class belonging (Ritvo 1987). …”

“Me will homa to France and no be hanged in a strange country”: Comic French Villains in Late Elizabethan Drama by Charles Whitworth

“…Contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait imaginer, le type du « méchant » français, assassin, traître ou prédateur sexuel, est rarement représenté par les dramaturges élisabéthains sous un jour comique voire grotesque ou absurde. Au terme d’une recherche menée en marge du projet de base de données Allusions to France and the French in English Drama to 1642, un nombre fort réduit de cas ont été identifiés, dans des pièces de Greene, Lodge, Marston, ou dans des textes anonymes. …”

« Machine sensuelle à fonctionnement symbolique » : l’extraterrestre de Philippe Curval, à la confluence du surréalisme et de la science-fiction. by Simon Bréan

“…Dans ses nouvelles, l’écrivain use de la distance qu’ils permettent d’établir avec sa réalité contemporaine pour en dénoncer les travers grâce à l’absurde et à l’humour noir. Foule bigarrée et polymorphe, ils peuplent plusieurs de ses romans selon deux modalités majeures, parfois associées : l’exploration de thématiques liées à la sensualité et à la sexualité, et la représentation de rapports spécifiques à l’imagination et au savoir, comme dans Le Ressac de l’espace (1962), Les Sables de Falun (1970), Congo Pantin (1995). …”

TITO DORČIĆ AS A FORERUNNER OF THE IRONIC MODE by Dean Slavić

“…Typical such figures are the protagonists of Kafka’s and Beckett’s works, who lack even the most basic information regarding their own position – due to which the reader has the sense of looking down on scenes of bondage, frustration or absurdity. Vjenceslav Novak’s Tito Dorčić, from the eponymous novel, is a forerunner of this type of character. …”
