Abstract

Quelle est la spécificité de l'écriture américaine ?Qu'ont en commun - mise à part la nationalité de leurs auteurs - les romans, nouvelles, poèmes et pièces de théâtre qui en sont issus ?Dans quelle mesure ces œuvres sont-elles irréductiblement étrangères à la littérature britannique, malgré la langue commune ?Ce manuel, destiné aux étudiants mais aussi à tous les esprits curieux, a pour objet la littérature américaine, de ses origines puritaines à la fin du XXe siècle. Il propose une forme originale où le lecteur est invité à suivre, au gré de ses besoins et des questions qu'il se pose, un parcours qu'il compose lui-même à l'aide de notices consacrées aux grands thèmes et courants de cette littérature, d'encadrés spécifiquement dédiés aux auteurs, et d'un ensemble d'outils méthodologiques qui comprend index et chronologie. Il apporte ainsi des éclairages novateurs sur les écrivains et les œuvres majeurs en favorisant, par tout un jeu de renvois, des lectures croisées, et ouvre la voie à de fertiles recoupements.

Abstract

La littérature américaine qui naît dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle tente de s'affranchir des modèles esthétiques européens. Elle ne cesse pourtant de faire référence à Shakespeare. Cet ouvrage, qui s'inscrit à la croisée de l'analyse intertextuelle et de l'histoire des idées, cherche à articuler cet intertexte shakespearien et l'émergence d'une littérature nationale qui se construit en réinventant l'œuvre du dramaturge. À travers l'étude de Charles Brockden Brown, Joseph Dennie, Washington Irving, Herman Melville – mais également d'essayistes et dramaturges aux accents nettement plus nationalistes –, il s'agit moins de se livrer à une étude des sources que de s'intéresser aux significations de ce recours à un Shakespeare réinventé, dont les écrivains du Nouveau Monde font bégayer la langue – une langue étrangère et familière à la fois. Ainsi devenu autre, l'imaginaire dramatique shakespearien participe pleinement du développement d'une littérature américaine bien plus qu'il ne la bride.

Abstract

"Contemporary culture is haunted by its media. In its ubiquity digital media have become increasingly banal and in the process its meaning and influence have become less visibly apparent. Contemporary novelists and filmmakers have narrated and depicted everyday life in a way- that represents the emotional, intellectual, and political nature of living in our present-day media environment. The works of these writers and directors, Dinnen argues, also offer ways of resisting the more troubling aspects of the effects of new technologies. Dinnen considers the work of a range of prominent contemporary writers, filmmakers, and artists, including Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, Sheila Heti, Jonathan Lethem, Gary Shteyngart, Colson Whitehead, David Fincher, Mark Amerika, and Cory Arcangel. Their works critique and reveal the ways in which digital labor isolates the individual; how the work of programming has become an operation of power; how creative remixing allows the writer or filmmaker the opportunity to expose what often becomes shrouded in the digital banal; self-representation through avatars; and the development of the "California ideology," which has folded the radical into the rote and the imaginary into the mundane"--

Abstract

Frères Ennemis focuses on Franco-American tensions as portrayed in works of literature from approximately the mid-nineteenth-century to the present. An Introduction is followed by nine chapters, each focused on a French or American literary text which shows the evolution/devolution of the relations between the two nations at a particular point in time. While the heart of the analysis consists of close textual readings, social, cultural and political contexts are introduced to provide a better understanding of the historical reality influencing the individual novels, a reality to which these novels are also responding. Chapters One through Five, covering a period from the mid-1870s to the end of the Cold War, discuss significant aspects of the often fraught relationship from the theoretical perspective of Roland Barthes' theory of modern myth, described in his Mythologies. Barthes' theory helps situate Franco-American tensions in a paradigmatic structure, while at the same time it is supple enough to allow for shifts and reversals within the paradigm. Subsequent chapters explore new French attitudes toward the powerful, potentially dominant influence of American culture on French life. In these sections I argue that recent French fiction displays more openness to the American experience than has existed in the past, and as such contrasts with the more static American approach to French culture.
