"The City as Muse": A Context-Oriented Meta-Historical Reading of Toyin Falola's A Mouth Sweeter than Salt by Ibrahim A. Odugbemi

“… A number of scholarly and critical arguments have explored the poetics of nonfiction, otherwise called life writing, as a sub-genre of prose literature. Against the common expectation of a detailed concentration on facts about the subject (the self or the other) which has made nonfiction to be seen in some quarters as a concern of history, such critical arguments have shown that this genre has its peculiar, predominant pattern and structure, which make it arguably a concern of the literary enterprise. …”

Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance by Flora Valadié

“…Yet the paradigm of the series maintains a linearity Powers’ prose foregoes: the historical event, just like the artifact, is to be perceived in terms of solid geometry and intersection of planes, a cross between “essayistic firmness” and “the invitation of fiction” that result in a three-dimensional object which the series fails to create.…”

Dans la bibliothèque de Des Esseintes : Flaubert et Mallarmé by Judit Maár

“…For Flaubert, our main corpus will be Madame Bovary, for Mallarmé, it will be the poem published in gratitude to Huysmans, Prose pour Des Esseintes. This choice may be surprising: why compare the novel traditionally – and possibly mistakenly – considered to be a first masterpiece of realism, and the poem taken for one of the most enigmatic texts of symbolism? …”

“…Detailed information about her memories of the ‘world of sound’—also the impact that deafness had on her life—can be found in her hybrid prose. Blending different genres and text forms, Letter to the Deaf (1834), the journal article ‘Deaf Mutes’ (1854) and her two-volume Autobiography (1855–1877) are clear on her determination to use her most painful experiences to promote social change. …”

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). …”

Caliban’s Gait: The Postcolonial “Progress” of American Exploratory Poetics in William Carlos Williams’ The Great American Novel by Zachary Finch

“…Cet article analyse les traits calibanesques des tactiques poétiques radicalement anti-européennes de Williams pour montrer que le caractère expérimental de ses premiers poèmes en prose réhabilite une forme de liberté de l’auteur d’une manière qui anticipe, un demi-siècle plus tôt, l’observation de Foucault selon laquelle “les livres ont commencé à avoir réellement des auteurs dans la mesure où les discours pouvaient être transgressifs”.…”

Ravel’s Programmatic Impulse by Peter Kaminsky

“…Such a gap is hinted at in Berlioz’s own account of the program for the Symphonie Fantastique: »The aim of the program is by no means to copy faithfully what the composer has tried to present in orchestral terms, as some people seem to think; on the contrary, it is precisely in order to fill in the gaps which the use of musical language unavoidably leaves in the development of dramatic thought, that the composer has had to avail himself of written prose to explain and justify the outline of the symphony«.While Berlioz’s statement posits one sort of gap at the heart of the program/music relationship, it becomes more relevant to Ravel’s music to consider the gap from the other direction and reverse Berlioz’s terms: thus the composer avails himself of the unique structural and expressive resources of music to connote their own meaning, in order to fill in the gaps which the limitations of the programmatic source unavoidably leave in the development of dramatic thought.…”

The Translation Paradigm in H.D.’s Writing by Antoine Cazé

“…Cet article présente et analyse certaines raisons pour lesquelles l’œuvre de H.D. n’a pas encore trouvé sa place dans l’édition française, alors même qu’une quantité substantielle de sa poésie et de sa prose a déjà été traduite. Un bref état des lieux de la publication des œuvres de H.D. en français montre tout d’abord comment la dispersion éditoriale empêche une perception cohérente du rôle qu’a joué l’écrivain dans la construction du modernisme anglo-américain. …”
