In her book, Barbe discusses verbal irony as an interpretative notion. Verbal irony is described in its various realizations and thus placed within linguistics and pragmatics. From the point of view of an analyzing observer, Barbe provides an eclectic approach to irony in context, a study of how conversational irony works, and how it compares with other concepts in which it plays a role. In addition, by means of the analysis of irony as an integrated pervasive feature of language, Barbe questions some basic unstated, literacy and culture-dependent assumptions about language.

Why did Machiavelli write 'The Prince' - and why did Church and political authorities find it so threatening? 500 years after Machiavelli first told friends that he had written a 'little work' on principalities, this book tries to answer these questions. It offers a chapter-by-chapter reading of 'The Prince' as a masterwork of ironic writing with a moral purpose to teach readers how to recognise hidden dangers in political conduct that appears great or praiseworthy, and in misleading promises of quick and easy solutions to their troubles.

L’ironie et l’humour, ces frères ennemis si familiers mais si insaisissables, sont depuis trop longtemps associés à des clichés consacrés par la littérature et par la critique littéraire. Afin de dépasser la taxinomie et le confort intellectuel des étiquettes, il est nécessaire de délier les deux notions de leur immédiateté référentielle ainsi que de leurs implications morales. Partant de l’intuition qu’il existe entre elles une dynamique esthétique, le présent ouvrage analyse leur fonctionnement stylistique. Il étudie la question des relations esthétiques entre l’ironie et l’humour en les envisageant à partir du regard du créateur sur l’œuvre d’art et sur le langage comme manifestation de sa subjectivité - et en considérant le rôle actif du lecteur. Esta obra aborda de manera conjunta las nociones de ironía y de humor en el ámbito de la cultura española, considerándolas a partir de la mirada del creador sobre la obra de arte y sobre el lenguaje. La mayoría de los trabajos desarrollados hasta ahora han privilegiado sus implicaciones satíricas, moralizadoras e ideológicas. El objetivo aquí es tratar de superar las clasificaciones tradicionales de estos dos conceptos, tan familiares como inasibles.

"Since the development of British Aestheticism in the 1870s, the concept of irony has focused a series of anxieties which are integral to modern literary practice. Examining some of the most important debates in post-Romantic aesthetics through highly focused textual readings of authors from Walter Pater and Henry James to Samuel Beckett and Alan Hollinghurst, this study investigates the dialectical position of irony in Aestheticism and its twentieth-century afterlives. Aesthetic Afterlives constructs a far-reaching theoretical narrative by positioning Victorian Aestheticism as the basis of Literary Modernity. Aestheticism's cultivation of irony and reflexive detachment was central to this legacy, but it was also the focus of its own self-critique. Anxieties about the concept and practice of irony persisted through Modernism, and have recently been positioned in Hollinghurst's work as a symptom of the political stasis within post-modern culture. Referring to the recent debates about the 'new aestheticism' and the politics of aesthetics, Eastham asks how a utopian Aestheticism can be reconstructed from the problematics of irony and aesthetic autonomy that haunted writers from Pater to Adorno."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Les auteurs et auteures des contributions reunies dans cet ouvrage observent comment les procedes de l'ironie et de l'humour sont mobilises par les ecrivains francophones pour vehiculer une critique sociale. L'esclavage, la colonisation, les dictatures et la violence sont au nombre des themes abordes, formant le tableau d'une litterature du desenchantement. Les articles relevent l'adoption d'une rhetorique qui accorde une grande place à l'ironie, à l'humour et aux jeux discursifs. Ce rapport ludique à la langue et au lecteur permettrait aux ecrivains de tourner en ridicule certains discours sociaux, de subvertir l'ordre collectif et ainsi, de contrebalancer leur pessimisme face au monde. Les articles convoquent un corpus d'oeuvres varie, parcourant quatre aires geographiques (Afrique, Antilles, Proche-Orient et ocean Indien), divers genres litteraires (roman, theâtre, poesie et essai), analysant des auteurs classiques (Aime Cesaire, Édouard Glissant et Cheikh Hamidou Kane) autant que des ecrivains peu etudies jusqu'à ce jour (Salah Stetie, Shenaz Patel et Éliane Kodjo).
