“I am a freak of nature”: Tourette’s and the Grotesque in Jonathan Lethem’s Motherless Brooklyn by Pascale Antolin

“…Through the grotesque and laughter, Lethem challenges the traditional representation of disability—and the stereotype of the disabled person—and also the major genres his novel borrows from: detective fiction and the coming-of-age narrative. The book turns into parody, in the Bakhtinian sense, i.e., both a homage to and a rewriting of traditional genres. …”

Artists’ books et nursery porn : Ré-illustrer les Victoriens by Laurent Bury

“…In her book The Artist as Critic, Lorraine Kooistra defined as “bitextuality” the link between words and pictures within the covers of a book, a link that can exist according to five categories: quotation, impression, answering, parody and cross-dressing. To those five modes, this paper would like to add three more, which correspond to the relation between Victorian texts and twentieth-century images: the inversion of textual roles, exchangism and homotextuality. …”

Que serait une sociostylistique ? by Éric Bordas

“…Une « stylistique spontanée » (Bourdieu) non théorisée mais pratique existe pourtant, loin de la littérature, et se consacre à critiquer des usages langagiers, discursifs et sémiotiques divers, par exemple quand un humoriste imite et parodie les tics d’un homme politique. Par ailleurs, le style, sinon la stylistique, est une référence importante de la sociologie pour envisager les pratiques de comportement collectif. …”

Les Noces Chymiques de Johann Valentin Andreae dans Die Geheimnisse et Das Märchen de Goethe by Annie Zdenek

“…In The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, Goethe borrowed alchemical symbols as theologian Andreae did in his esoteric novel and he sometimes parodied them so as to depict the process of development of his characters, but unlike Andreae, Goethe gave them a political and moral meaning: the new historical context of the end of the 18th century, that is to say the French revolution, weakened the German countries and divided the cultivated elite. …”
