Claroscura Representation: An Audio-visual and Theoretical Exploration of the Representation of the Past Through Documentary Filmmaking by Gerrit Stollbrock Trujillo

“…The tensions between the narratives constructed in the documentary and the immensity of the discarded archives from the plant drive a theoretical quest to respond to its own iconoclast and the post-structuralist critique of history. …”

Synthèse croisée by Sian Sullivan, Michèle Baussant, Lindsey Dodd, Olivette Otele, Irène Dos Santos

“…These personal biographical experiences have tended to find themselves on the margins of national and/or academic historical narratives. In this final paper of our Special Issue we share the open-ended process of co-production, cross-case learning, and synthesis that accompanied case research, focusing especially on our systematic cross-case engagement, which involved sharing and theorising content and experiences across our case-studies, and the commonalities and differences we identified across our case-studies through this process. …”

La fabrique de l’homme objet dans Lolita de Stanley Kubrick by Emmanuelle Delanoë-Brun

“…Humbert Humbert, as viewed by Stanley Kubrick, appears as yet another representation of the objectified male gradually losing control over the story he at least partially narrates. Still, the character’s progressive dispossession also appears as the condition of his humanistic re-evaluation, in a motion that is characteristic of Kubrick’s constant exploration of the multiple tensions that shape the very definition of humanity, in a paradoxical approach where distance bridges moral, emotional and intellectual gaps, where reiterated contradictions testify to a consistent body of interrogations, where tension, in the end, features as the main condition of humanity.…”

« Petits poèmes en prose » : la forme poétique dans Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Isabelle Gadoin

“…Alongside with awkward passages when the narrator launches into abstract meditations against morals, society or fate, other moments can be found in his novels when the author briefly seems to forsake any concern for realistic description, and to suggest instead enchanted instants of communion between his characters and the world of nature, which transfigure the whole of perception. …”

“The Enchanted Hunters and the Hunted Enchanters: the dizzying effects of embedded structures and meta-artistic devices in Lolita, novel and film” by Marie Bouchet

“…This paper explores some of the various mises en abyme and metatextual devices in Nabokov’s and Kubrick’s Lolita, so as to explore how such devices create a poetics of reflections, and themselves reflect the manner in which the relationship to the reader/spectator is engaged by the literary and filmic narratives. As underscored by Lucien Dallenbach, internal duplications or self-reflexive devices are double-layered: they serve a purpose in the fictional universe, and have a reflexive function aimed at disclosing one of the text’s components. …”

LA TEORÍA QUEER Y LAS NARRATIVAS PROGESISTAS DE IDENTIDAD by Mariela Nahir Solana

“…Para eso, consideraremos algunas objeciones que aparecen en el libro Second Skins: the Body Narratives of Transexuality de Jay Prosser. En particular, examinaremos su crítica a Judith Butler y Jack Halberstam, con el fin de extraer algunas conclusiones que den cuenta de la relación intrínseca que existe entre la estructura narrativa de las teorías de género y la valoración del grado de autenticidad y transgresión de las identidades de género.…”

2000-2015 : un âge d’or du format webdocumentaire by Michaël Bourgatte

“…Dozens of projects were launched, especially between 2000 and 2015, renewing the documentary film genre thanks to the potential of digital technology and the Internet: the presence of text, graphic elements, and a whole range of services and options that allow the emergence of delinearized, sliding or playful narratives. However, from 2015 onwards, the web (or interactive) documentary will experience a clear downturn, which can be explained in several ways: it is technically difficult to create, share and archive; its content is generally serious or scholarly, which distances it from the commonly playful nature of cinema, but also from the most widespread uses of the web, which are essentially recreational; audiences sometimes have difficulty in understanding the proposals made to them; finally, with no economic model and therefore no commercial perspectives, funders will gradually begin to distance themselves from web (or interactive) documentaries…”

Visions of Sustainable Future Shaped Through a Dilemma: International Tourism Development and Lagoon Management in Bacalar by Eriko Yamasaki, Laura Meneghello

“…Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in March 2019, this paper examines the visions of sustainability that the citizens of Bacalar developed in the attempt to find a balance between the growth of international tourism and the protection of local natural heritage. It analyses local narratives and interprets discourses of sustainability as being the outcome of translocal processes characterised by a productive friction between vernacular perceptions of the environment and the globalised concept of sustainability.…”

COMFORT WOMEN SURVIVING PANDEMICS: FROM ERASURE TO EMBODIED HOPE TOWARDS A FEMINIST-POSTCOLONIAL THEOLOGY OF RADICAL HOSPITALITY by S.A. Bong

“…Through their lived experience as survivors of pandemics, a feminist-postcolonial theology of radical hospitality first critiques biblical narratives of men’s hospitality to men. The parallel stories of Lot’s offer of his virgin daughters (Gen. 19) and the Levite’s offer of his concubine (Judges 19) expose, first, the hierarchisation of male guests over women, as property of men, and secondly, the inviolable creed of hospitality conferred on men by men, that is sustained by the cultural code that marks women’s bodies as violable. …”

Brumes, brouillards et incertitudes dans John Marchmont’s Legacy (1863) de Mary Elizabeth Braddon by Marion Charret-Del Bove

“…Besides, fog is also a textual device used by the author to symbolize the blurring literary process at the heart of sensational fiction that aimed at shattering the traditional barriers between types of narratives (gothic tales, melodrama...). Eventually, one has to look at Braddon’s use of mist and fog as an attempt at visualizing a part of the Victorian mid-century world with its share of hidden social uncertainties, particularly regarding women’s restricted lives and lack of opportunities.…”
