“…Our study is based on the analysis of two park proposals developed in Switzerland in 2018 and 1998 that decided to use collage not for aesthetic or practical reasons, but because it engages an important conceptual decision.Through an in-depth analysis of the offices’ archives, enriched by interviews with the designers, our exploration seeks to understand the genesis of the collages, their role in the development of the project, and their meanings in the project itself and beyond.As an act of doing and thinking and an investigative tool, the collage brings out the unforeseeable and summons fiction to the heart of the project, emphasizing the unfinished and the yet-to-be-determined. …”

Orality in War Novels: Different Aspects of Swear Words in Henri Barbusse’s and Ahmadou Kourouma’s works by Joanna Kotowska-Miziniak

“… The paper proposes to address, from a comparative perspective, the question of orality in two war novels: Henri Barbusse's autobiographical Le Feu (1916) and Ahmadou Kourouma’s fiction Allah n’est pas obligé (2000).

“…Another question which the study proposes for debate is the one of the literary character of the parenetic writings, thought under a threefold aspect: (a) their aesthetic value; (b) influence and/or belonging to cultural structures before the literary languages were formed; (c) otherqualities, signs, topics of the national spirituality, as it is regularly done in revealing the fiction works.
