“Nothing could stop it, nothing”: The Burden of Postsouthern History in Barry Hannah’s “Uncle High Lonesome” by Clare Chadd

“…Close readings of Hannah’s work reveal conspicuously “southern” narratives of historical haunting, trauma and guilt, implying that the burden of history remains a useful means of understanding late twentieth century regional fiction. This paper argues for Hannah’s unique currency in ongoing critical debates, both in the new southern studies and in southern literary studies more broadly, about the future of “South” and the concept of inherited historical memory in a post-regional and post-historical culture. …”

Signs of Innovation in European Cinema. Electronic Music in Antonioni and Tarkovsky by Gabriele

Likewise, Antonioni found in the music of Vittorio Gielmetti a suitable aural commentary on the mental disorders of the protagonist in Deserto rosso, inserting electronic music into the palette to describe the horizons of the inner human psyche. …”

Modernist Disavowal by Stephen ROSS

“…Though they explicitly deplore the use of the supernatural, Conrad and Woolf rely upon it in their fiction. This specific dual disavowal – of the Victorian precedent and of a lingering supernaturalism in their own work – is not just limited to Conrad and Woolf, but, I argue, informs the larger means by which the modernists strove to understand and articulate their break with the Victorians. …”

Aux sources du sensationnel : Wilkie Collins lecteur de l’abbé Prévost ? by Shelly Charles

“…It analyses the author’s particular strategy in amplifying this « true story » and tries to explain the more general pertinence of Prévost’s work as a journalist and a « documentary novelist » for the formation of Wilkie Collins’s poetics of fiction. A relation is thus established between Basil and Prévost’s Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, the relevance of which, more than a century after its publication, can be explained by the current success of another and most recent rewriting of Manon Lescaut : Dumas fils’s La Dame aux camélias...…”
