Abstract

71 av. J.-C. Défait par les troupes romaines, le roi Mithridate trouve asile auprès du puissant souverain d'Arménie Tigrane. Rome envoie le jeune et fougueux légat Appius pour ramener le fugitif et affronter le Roi des rois. De rencontres en batailles, Appius découvre les splendeurs et les mystères de l'Orient. Dans cette contrée fabuleuse où le plus misérable des hommes semble posséder un savoir plus grand que celui des augures romains, il croise Em'Kbar, le berger taciturne, Sha'Ri, la magicienne au corps d'enfant et la Griffe, le pirate sanguinaire. Tour à tour complices ou ennemis, leurs destins sont liés par d'inavouables secrets... et un enfant à l'étrange pouvoir. Véritable parcours initiatique, la mission d'Appius le mène aux portes d'Antioche. Là, il découvre l'amour, affronte la mort... et défie la raison d'Etat.

Abstract

Critics hailed the first edition of The Literature of Scotland as one of the most comprehensive and fascinatingly readable accounts of Scottish literature in all three of the country's languages - Gaelic, Scots and English. In this extensively revised and expanded new edition, Roderick Watson traces the lives and works of Scottish writers in a beautiful and rugged country that has been divided by political and religious conflict but united, too, by a democratic and egalitarian ideal of nationhood. The Literature of Scotland: The Twentieth Century provides a comprehensive account of the richest ever period in Scottish literary history. From The House with the Green Shutters to Trainspotting and far beyond, this companion volume to The Literature of Scotland: The Middle Ages to the Nineteenth Century gives a critical and historical context to the upsurge of writing in the languages of Scotland. Roderick Watson covers a wide range of modern and contemporary Scottish authors including: MacDiarmid, MacLean, Grassic Gibbon, Gunn, Robert Garioch, Iain Crichton Smith, Alasdair Gray, Edwin Morgan, James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, Alan Warner, A. L. Kennedy, Liz Lochhead, John Burnside, Jackie Kay, Kathleen Jamie and many, many more! Also featuring an extended list of Further Reading and a helpful chronological timeline, this is an indispensable introduction to the great variety of Scottish writing which has emerged since the start of the twentieth century.

Abstract

In the last few years, the postcolonial world has been mapped with the help of economic, social, political and linguistic methodologies, which have helped us to understand how mechanisms of subjection and resistance play out in imperialist, neo-imperialist and globalizing contexts and how cultural norms and sign systems are translated in the process. There is, however, also an 'inside' story to intercultural contact, a story concerning the psychological and the affective dimensions, which shows up in collections of letters, in autobiographies, in novels and plays. This story has traditionally been mapped onto binary oppositions of containment vs. lack of restraint, of mind vs. body, which have led to stereotypical projections, for example of the noble savage, of the cannibal, of Western returns to savagery (Heart of Darkness) or of afrocentric concepts of the 'sun people' vs. the 'ice people'. While acknowledging this history of the mapping of the passions and emotions, the essays in this volume attempt to move beyond traditional oppositional images and to anticipate more intricate - though generally not yet symmetrical - forms of intercultural exchange, which result when affections - along with the disaffections they quite often inspire - are translated. The main focus of this collection of essays is on an extended version of the Black Atlantic and thus follows up some themes from our former volume Beyond the Black Atlantic (London: Routledge, 2006). Questions of silencing, alienation and stereotyping are raised in many of the contributions (Benjamin-Labarthe, Kossew, Msiska), paired with more optimistic appraisals of emotional exchanges and strategies of self-assertion (Ashcroft, Ahrens, Schabio). This volume was inspired by a number of conferences in the field of postcolonial studies which were held at the University of Stuttgart.

Abstract

Si la littérature est un lieu privilégié pour la construction et la représentation des identités sexuelles et du genre, quelles perspectives l'analyse de ces constructions et de ces représentations ouvre-t-elle au sein des études littéraires? C'est cette question qu'explore ce volume de Poétiques Comparatistes. S'il est, dans le domaine des sciences humaines, un champ théorique et critique dans lequel les clivages entre les deux côtés de l'Atlantique sont marqués, c'est bien celui où s'inscrivent les études des représentations des identités sexuelles. Des feminist studies aux queer studies, ce champ a une histoire et une évolution, d'abord en Amérique du Nord, où il s'est construit à partir d'une certaine " pensée française ". Par un effet de retour, l'institution universitaire française commence à s'ouvrir aux approches " queer ". C'est donc logiquement comme un dialogue transatlantique que ce volume est pensé. Permettant une confrontation des approches théoriques, il propose de grandes synthèses sur des problématiques essentielles, qu'il s'agisse de la représentation des relations homoérotiques dans l'Antiquité, des relations entre mythes et gender, de l'émergence historique de la catégorie de l'homosexuel ou des relations entre les différents courants du féminisme et des études queer ; en même temps, il offre un large éventail d'analyses de textes littéraires et cinématographiques.
