« La tentative de l’impossible » ? Regard critique, vision sociale et philosophie politique dans l’œuvre de Philippe Curval by Jean-Guillaume Lanuque

“…Cet article examine la vision de la société déployée par Philippe Curval au travers de ses fictions. Fondée sur une conception exigeante du rôle de la littérature, la production fictionnelle de Curval véhicule une critique des hiérarchies traditionnelles, des systèmes de domination considérés comme illégitimes, une défiance à l’égard des utopies et des révolutions au cours contre-productif, au profit d’une défense de l’individu, de son potentiel et des échanges croisés avec tous. …”

Du roman à la propagande. La Grande Guerre dans la littérature de jeunesse italienne de l’entre-deux-guerres by Mariella Colin

“…After the rise of fascism (1922), the memories of World War I are transformed into a praise of the conflict: patriotic love and soldiers’ heroic sacrifices are glorified, even if the fights are often inserted in fictional plots that remove any tragic dimension. Salvator Gotta’s Piccolo Alpino (1926) is probably the best example of this strategy: a children’s book in which a ten-years old boy participates to the war, Piccolo Alpino presents to the reader a nationalist version of an adventure novel, whose plot is nevertheless well developed.…”

Inter/Multimedial Constructions of Islam in Post-9/11 TV Series: The West Wing and 24 by Brigitte Georgi-Findlay

“…Since The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006), the political drama series has been a proliferating format for fictional engagements with American politics. Georgi-Findlay focuses on how The West Wing and 24 (Fox, 2001-2010) engage public narratives about Islam and Islamophobia, arguing that the shows go beyond what Evelyn Alsultany has termed “simplified complex representations” by creating contradictory, multivocal texts that display dynamics of internal disaccord. …”
