Le promeneur londonien au xixe siècle : une excursion dans l’obscur by Max Duperray

“…From Charles Lamb and De Quincey to Arthur Machen and even (a little later) Virginia Woolf, among others, the figure of the invisible bohemian recalls Baudelaire’s flâneur and the fictional character writing fiction. The city is « textualised » and the Peripatetic novelist torn between alienation and contamination becomes the origin of the Sublime, as signs prevail over their referent. …”

Historical Topicality in Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock’s Milestones by Lukas Klik

“…Moreover I also consider these references in the context of the aim of the playwrights in writing the play more generally. Here, I suggest that the topical allusions serve to underpin the play’s main point about the necessity to accept change, especially with regard to the role of women, by illustrating the inevitability of change. …”

Les enfants de la guerre : Le Grand Cahier d’Agota Kristof by Carine Trevisan

“…Giving fictitiously the word to children who make the test of the brutalisation of men’s and women’s behavior in the state of war, The Notebook, by the choice of an “ice-cold” writing – this book has been qualified of “exercise of cruelty” –, led to its extreme limit the representation of devastated childhood, so much so that it becomes disturbing: abolition of any faculty to dream, to imagine, anaesthesia of emotive life, destruction of anything that can make link with others, phenomena which produce insensitivity to death, received or given. …”

Between France and Germany: René Schickele and “Geistiges Elsässertum” by Áine McGillicuddy

Information transmission mechanism of Blockchain technology based on named-data networking by Jiang LIU, Ru HUO, Chengcheng LI, Guijin ZOU, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…Recent researches on blockchain have been greatly concerned by academia and industry,while the communication based on TCP/IP protocol was not enough for broadcasting a large volume of data in blockchain technology.Therefore,a novel node model supporting push service for blockchain technology and a special procedure reading-writing the table of the node model were designed based on the named-data networking,which was a distributed network architecture supporting data transmission naturally.And then the information transmission architecture of blockchain technology via named-data networking was proposed.With the aggregation of the requests and data caching,this architecture could reduce the traffic redundancy and accelerate the communication speed.Meanwhile,a use case of bitcoin based on the proposed architecture was given,in order to better understand the architecture.A numerical simulation was used to verify the performance advantages of the proposed scheme.In addition,some related future research directions were presented.…”

L’écriture de Maurice Renard, en tension entre extrapolation scientifique et figuration littéraire by Simon Bréan

“…Theorizing about the very genre he’s trying to promote, Maurice Renard provides the “merveilleux-scientifique” (scientific marvelous, 1909), then the “roman d’hypothèse” (hypothesis novel, 1925) with great ambitions. However his own writing strikingly exceeds his initial program. Renard’s works abound in incitative literary devices and strategies, that may weaken scientific extrapolation : the use of fictional artefacts, following the tradition of the Fantastique, of humor, of characters and situations coming from popular serials, of eroticism. …”
