Becoming-evolutionary?: Animal Transformations in Kingsley’s Alton Locke by Ben Moore

“…Focusing on Chapter 36 of Charles Kingsley’s novel Alton Locke (1850), where the hero recounts a dream during which he undergoes a series of transformations into various animals, beginning at ‘the lowest point of created life’ as a madrepore or coral, and culminating with the early history of humanity, this article explores the relation between Kingsley’s text and Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of ‘becoming-animal’. …”

Héros et criminels : la figure du peuple en lutte dans les débats d’amnistie de la question sociale sous la Troisième République by Stéphane Gacon

“…Sous la Troisième République, l’amnistie est classiquement utilisée pour régler les grandes crises civiles (boulangisme, affaire Dreyfus), mais elle devient de manière plus nouvelle un outil de régulation du conflit social à une époque où les grèves se multiplient, le monde du travail se transforme et la répression sociale s’intensifie. Pour des raisons pédagogiques liées à la naissance du syndicalisme et à l’organisation du socialisme, les campagnes d’amnistie, de plus en plus personnalisées, produisent, au risque de simplifier à l’extrême les enjeux de la lutte sociale, des héros et des martyrs, alors que les défenseurs de l’ordre dénoncent, dans la tradition renouvelée des « classes dangereuses » du premier xixe siècle, les violences d’un peuple « ensauvagé » et endoctriné par quelques « meneurs ».…”

Genghis Khan in Folklore Legends of the Mongolian Peoples: Mythological Framework of Memory by Aleksand V. Isakov

“…It can be concluded that the memory of Genghis Khan in the folklore tradition of the Mongolian peoples was formed on the basis of traditional ideas about the first ancestors-demiurges — cultural heroes, which included the legendary ruler. Living in some “primordial time” and possessing a wonderful, atypical — as befits a mythological hero — biography, he masters, transforms and signifies the world around him, creates important cultural objects, performs actions that will later turn into customs and rituals, gives rise to modern ethnic groups and dynasties, in general — lays the foundations of the existing world order. …”

‘How the guineas shone as they came pouring out of the dark leather mouths!’: Shades of Gold in George Eliot’s Silas Marner (1861) by Marie-Laure Massei-Chamayou

“…In this novella, gold is not merely the main dramatic thread that connects the parallel stories of Silas, Eppie and the Cass family, it also echoes mythical and Biblical narratives, such as the Book of Job, thereby lending itself to multiple interpretations: gold is, in turn, synonymous with a transgressive passion, an impure light or tainted matter which, as such, enables Silas’s successive transmutation, transformation and transfiguration, thereby partaking of the hero’s complex alchemical initiation and spiritual quest. …”

Le film de tournage shakespearien : fiction documentarisée ou documentaire fictionnalisé ? by Sarah Hatchuel

“…This “making of” blurs the boundary between fiction and nonfiction by offering a “documentarizing” reading of excerpts from the fiction film and a “fictionalizing” reading of the documentary. It transforms the shooting of the feature film into a suspense narrative in which the director becomes a double of the hero in the fiction. …”

«Li sens conmence contreval a filer…». Imaginaire du sang et hétérodoxies épiques dans La Bataille Loquifer by Carlos F. Clamote Carreto

“…Tainted by the mark of ancestral taboos that shake the poetic discourse ( as with the vision of the blood that women shed, for example) or assigning the dangers of an open wound which threatens the integrity of the epic hero transformed into a sacrificial victim whose blood, shed on the battlefield, purifies and regenerates the space conquered by the Christian logos, blood creates and transmits a paradoxical imaginary which is both projected and reflected in the lineage and in the language, which reflects in the epic poetry itself. …”
