Shelley Jacksons’s Gender Politics in Patchwork Girl (1995): a Cyborg Approach by Anne-Laure Fortin-Tournès

“…Piecing the female body and the body of the text together in order to read “herstory” forces the reader to adopt a position that ceases to be one of mastery and domination traditionally associated with the reading of print fiction. Rather, Patchwork Girl prompts the reader into adopting a gaze that is “modular and fragmentary” and facilitates her active participation in the textual criticity inherent in the rhizomatic form of the hypertext. …”

The activity of Count Karl Ludwig von Ficquelmont in the Russian Empire, with a focus on his St. Petersburg salon by Anežka Kotoučová

La bibliothèque, (auto)portrait d’Edith Wharton ? by Agnès Berbinau

“…Edith Wharton fait coexister cette double conception de la bibliothèque correspondant à une double vision du livre : elle apparaît donc dans ses mémoires comme dans sa fiction tantôt comme un espace statique, figé dans son rôle de préservation des livres, tantôt comme un lieu dynamique, lieu de passage vers l’autre et vers soi-même où se jouent des transgressions multiples, où les frontières s’abolissent, où le lecteur – et la lectrice –  est projeté dans un ailleurs imaginaire, dialogue avec des auteurs disparus, et peut laisser libre cours à sa liberté créatrice. …”

Catholic Church Interiors in Fin-de-Siècle Literature by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…It focuses on two aspects of church architecture and decoration that are foregrounded in fin-de-siècle poetry and fiction—and were highly polemical in the late Victorian context because of their association with the Ritualist controversy and with ‘Romishness’: the eastward position, i.e. the celebration of the Eucharist on a stone altar fixed to the back of the chancel rather than on a wooden communion table facing the congregation; and altar candles, which were condemned in anti-ritualist pamphlets as both pagan and ‘popish’. …”

Legal nihilism in resolving family conflicts of nobles and peasants of Russian Empire in the first third of XIX century by S. P. Volf

“…The results of the study allow exploring the alternative ways of resolving family conflicts based on representatives of other classes of Russian society in the first third of the 19th century (clergy, merchants, philistines, foreigners) as well, using wider range of sources (journalism, normative acts, fiction, paperwork). This analysis contributes to the discussion about the limits of the government intervention into family affairs. …”
