Les enfants de la guerre : Le Grand Cahier d’Agota Kristof by Carine Trevisan

“…Giving fictitiously the word to children who make the test of the brutalisation of men’s and women’s behavior in the state of war, The Notebook, by the choice of an “ice-cold” writing – this book has been qualified of “exercise of cruelty” –, led to its extreme limit the representation of devastated childhood, so much so that it becomes disturbing: abolition of any faculty to dream, to imagine, anaesthesia of emotive life, destruction of anything that can make link with others, phenomena which produce insensitivity to death, received or given. …”

Texte/image/manuscrit : une relation problématique ? by Elena Koroleva

“…The choice of subject for the first miniature – the creation of Eve in many copies of our text – is not directly linked to the content of the chronicle, but is instead prompted by the image itself and its iconography, which informs the reader of the serious character of the book and adds value to the manuscript as an object.…”

We Can Fix Ourselves by Masilo Lepuru

Sense and Sensibility à l’écran : l’adaptation entre explication et consolation by Laurent Mellet

“…Starting from the assumption that three of the main logics informing the plot and the narrative of the book (Empiricism, the obsession for explanation and the necessity of consolation) can be found at the heart of the aesthetics of these adaptations, we show that the series and the film may complete or contradict one another, but always with a view to setting up some dynamics that help us avoid the logic of comparison and the issue of fidelity. …”
