„Anwärter auf die Hölle“: Stepan Trofimowitsch und die Menippea der Pharisäer by Ruth Karin Lévai

“…Five specific aspects of the Menippea as defined by Bakhtin are employed in the analysis: 1) the absence of epic or tragic distance, with the subject presented on the plane of the present day, 2) the bold and unrestrained use of the fantastic and adventure devoted to a purely ideational and philosophical end, 3) insanity of all sorts, 4) no abstractly philosophical or religiously dogmatic resolution to ultimate questions, rather their embodiment in carnivalistic acts and images, and 5) the creation of an extraordinary plot situation or a provocative anacrisis.…”

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). …”
