Le français dans l’écriture conradienne by Claude Maisonnat

“…His knowledge and practice of the language have long been extensively documented from his childhood to his four-year stay in Marseille and the numerous letters he wrote in French to friends, family, fellow writers and translators during his whole life. The aim of this essay is to show that although he never wrote a line of fiction in French, the latter is omnipresent not only in his fiction, through characters, locations, dialogues, quotations, intertextual borrowings, but most of all in the highly idiosyncratic medium of his prose, mainly in the guise of Gallicisms and occasionally erroneous loan translations. …”

Conditions spatiales de la démocratie participative. « Meetings » à Vosloorus (Ekurhuleni, Afrique du Sud) by Philippe Gervais-Lambony
