« A Flight », de Charles Dickens (1851), récit de voyage ? by Isabelle Hervouet-Farrar

“…Dickens’s article is published today by Penguin both as a piece of journalism (in Selected Journalism) and as a piece of fiction (in Selected Short Fiction), which raises the question of the genre(s) to which it belongs. This paper aims at showing that far from being a classic travel narrative offering a modicum of objectivity, « A Flight » shows us how fiction is created when a hyper-active narrator uses every exterior detail as a pretext to the expression of his creative energy. …”

Men of Letters: W.B. Yeats’s A Packet for Ezra Pound (1929) by Adrian PATERSON

“…Considering it formally alongside Yeats’s letters as a bookish yet speech-driven manifesto, this paper argues that what appears as a provisional, peripheral, prefatorial work is nonetheless central to understanding Yeats and Pound’s evolving thinking, and critical to an understanding of modernist networks. Its genre-bending, pan-artistic vision, intertextuality, and playing with paratextual apparatus produces a self-conscious construction typical of modernism, even as it claims distance from modernist aesthetics and dissents from its politics.…”

Madame Bovary et ses trente-quatre « vous », ou le retour du refoulé by Alain Vaillant

“…His readers, or more often his female readers: for the close analysis of these thirty-four occurrences proves not only that the recollection of romantic lyricism, even ironized, hovers over Flaubert’s writing, but that the author has a hard time dissimulating his male identity, then addressing his subtle analyst’s explanations to an audience of women: obviously impersonality has strict limits, those of genre (or gender).…”

Floating Cities: Xi Xi, Magritte, and the Insouciance of Allegory by Gray Kochhar-Lindgren

“… `Floating Cities: Xi Xi, Magritte, and the Insouciance of Allegory’ examines the ekphrastic relation of text and image in relation to the operations of analogy, the proportions of which have cracked, and allegory as an insouciant genre. Xi Xi’s short-story `Marvels of a Floating City’ is clearly linked to a reflection on Hong Kong’s hand-over from London to Beijing in 1997, but it also passes through that fixed date to ask how such an image-text might operate along different registers as we pass from Aristotle toward Benjamin and Deleuze. …”
