    Marisa Verna deposited « Des images en quête de sens. Par les écrans du monde de Fanny Taillandier » in the group Group logo of LLC 20th- and 21st-Century FrenchLLC 20th- and 21st-Century French on MLA Commons 4 weeks ago

    This paper analyses the category of space in Fanny Taillandier’s last novel Par les
    écrans du monde. We argue that Taillandier tries to “make sense” of 9/11 terrorist attack
    through a stylistic recomposition of the dimension of space, while situating it in a
    “geometry of words” that makes it meaningful and human again. In effect, in Taillandie…[Read more]

    Le livre constitue les actes du colloque qui s’est tenu en mai 2019 à la Università Cattolica du Sacré-Coeur de Milan.
    Ce livre examine les relations que l’œuvre de Proust entretient avec l’histoire, avec la société de son temps et du nôtre, les conflits ouverts ou souterrains qu’elle révèle ou recèle, et, plus contemporainement, se demander s’i…[Read more]

    At the heart of Gérard Gavarry’s writing are the questions of what power language holds, and what remains beyond the reach of expression. The two translations included here, excerpts from Allada (P.O.L, 1993) and Expérience d’Edward Lee, Versailles (P.O.L, 2009), share little with each other in terms of setting or structure, but explore simil…[Read more]

    Marisa Verna deposited Proust une langue étrangère in the group Group logo of LLC 20th- and 21st-Century FrenchLLC 20th- and 21st-Century French on MLA Commons 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    Proust was strongly opposed to the idea of ​​a naturally “clear” national language whose directives would be inherent in thought itself. This book questions Proust’s style from the point of view of its theorization and the implementation of diffuse sensory rhetoric in À la recherche du temps perdu.

    The Oulipo has claimed that foreign member, Italo Calvino, was a key proponent of the clinamen, a purposeful deviation from the strict constraints in which the group specializes. However, upon closer inspection, Calvino’s Oulipian production during his Paris period does not seem to advance a formalized definition of this tool of constrained w…[Read more]

    “Notre-Dame in Jean Fouquet’s Hours of Etienne Chevalier, ca. 1452-52” is a book excerpt of May Spangler’s “Paris in Architecture, Literature and Art,” recently published at Peter Lang.

    La poesia dell’inverno (del letargo, dice Proust) è materia della Recherche che coniuga arte e vita, o piuttosto impasta i materiali della vita, per farne arte. In un passo del Côté de Guermantes l’eroe del romanzo si trova a trascorrere una notte nella guarnigione di Doncière. L’associazione di diverse sensazioni fisiche (il freddo, la luminosit…[Read more]

    This article describes a pedagogical project that took place between 2015 and 2016, and involved my students of the French Literature class, third year of Bachelor of Arts (foreign languages). The intersection and interrelation between figurative art and poetry were at the centre of the theoretical insight, whereas the necessity of adapting our…[Read more]

    The Jewish ‘question’ is treated in the Recherche by way of the Dreyfus Affaire, which is not spoken of but scattered in the discourses of different characters. Definitions, opinions, even facts are, therefore, spread in the ubiquity of social instability, so that it is impossible for the reader to identify any of Proust’s ideologies.In our paper…[Read more]

    This article examines Sphinx, the debut novel of the French novelist Anne Garréta, which was recently published in English translation in 2015. The reception of Sphinx in both French and English has focused primarily on Garréta’s virtuosic removal of gender from a love story, passing over a caricatural and crude rendering of racial difference tha…[Read more]

    To understand the Oulipo’s forays into computer science and more importantly, why they abandoned them, I designed and carried out one of the inaugural projects of the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities.

    This is an analysis of Terayama Shūji’s 1981 film “Shanhai ijin shōkan,” a French co-production which was marketed in the Anglosphere as “China Doll” and in France as “Les Fruits de la passion,” invoking both Ōshima Nagisa’s 1978 “L’Empire de la passion” (the sequel to his notorious “Empire of the Senses” / “L’Empire des sens,” 1976) as well as Ro…[Read more]

    This paper aims to define the concepts of “material thought” and “material time,” as they are theorized by Proust in the Preface of his Ruskin’s Amiens Bible translation, and as they are developed throughout the Recherche. In Proust’s oeuvre ‘material thought’ manifests itself mostly in linguistic and stylistic features, or in concrete images,…[Read more]
