Un écrivain « entre deux rives » : le cas Jules Boissière by Hervé Casini

“…Except for "Propos d'un intoxiqué" and some yet published short stories from "Fumeurs d'opium", the man and his work still have to discover.Between 2014 and 2016, professor Jean-Yves Casanova publishes some pioneer articles for edition of the Centre d’Étude de la Littérature Occitane, La Revue Littéraire and Littératures.From these numerous lives and writings, Boissière uses two languages-French and Provençal- as means of an artistic production who finds mainly in Indochina a kind of Promised Land, on one hand in verse, on the other hand in prose.As a matter of fact, on the two sides of his special way, Jules Boissière must find again his well-deserved place : the one from a French writer, with occitanist tendency, who loves two languages and, during his Indochina stay , nurtures a highest literary career.…”

Poétisation et déréalisation de la ville au XIXème siècle : les tropes d’une littérature hantée by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…Yet, because of the way they were represented, cities were paradoxically derealized—even in supposedly realistic texts—and turned into dreamlike or fantasy entities with Gothic or mythical qualities.The fact the city was so omnipresent and disturbing while at the same time so familiar or even commonplace probably accounts for the writers’ keeping it at a distance, through derealizing techniques whose stylistic modalities shall here be examined, namely the use in prose works of literary devices that belong to poetic writing—such as metaphors, hypallages and metonymies—in Thomas De Quincey’s The Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) and Poe’s "The Man of the Crowd" (1840). …”
