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.…”

Landscapes as Narrative Commentary in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West by Dianne C. Luce

“…Each comprises a static composition that slows the violent action and also functions as a prose poem, rich in allusiveness. Evoking in the reader the perceptual and interpretive modes of a pensive viewer of a painted landscape, these scenes invite us to apply techniques drawn from art criticism to comprehend them as the narrator’s sober meditations on the Glanton gang’s violent enterprise.…”

Zu, ou les possibles d’une pensée japonaise du design by Nolwenn Maudet

“…This text, written in 1981 by designer and educator Tadanori Nagasawa, introduces the notion of zu 図, an untranslatable Japanese term that “covers almost all forms of two dimensional graphic representation, other than pictorial images and straight prose”. After a first reflexive translation and acculturation of this notion that allows us remove the partitions between design disciplines by focusing on its common tools, we question the possibility of a non-anglo-centric theory of design. …”

Return to the 1960s: the Role of ‘68 in Paul Auster’s Life and Work by Jesper Præst Nielsen

“…Auster’s early letters show that Auster subscribed to a Marxist worldview before ’68, that his experiences in April changed him, and that he has since assumed center-left position in his prose work. Originally founded on Merleau-Ponty’s post-Cartesian philosophy, this position enables Auster to remain sympathetic to the egalitarian and antiwar causes of the Left, but critical of the general rejection of authorities that so characterized the late 1960s. …”

4 3 2 1: A Listening by Priyanka Deshmukh

“…In his latest novel, 4 3 2 1, by making the reader count down in order to access the first page of the novel, almost like the opening of a piece of music with a 4/4 time signature, Auster calls attention to the sounds his words make, to their music, and to the orality of his prose. This paper listens closely to the sounds in 4 3 2 1, and reads in it a musicality, a rhythm that structures the sequence of events that order his narration, but also studies the interplay between music, words, sound, silence and language, that makes it stand out among Auster’s other works.…”
