Cet ouvrage comble les lacunes dans la connaissance d'ensemble que l’on a en France de la satire illustrée entre 1830 et 1871 : comme si le génie d’artistes fameux (Daumier notamment, ici éclairé d’un jour nouveau) avait jusqu’à présent occulté la masse des dessinateurs et des journaux qui ont formé l’imaginaire collectif de nos ancêtres, les Européens. Les explications d’images ici proposées examinent dans quelle mesure la caricature a développé une culture de résistance à l’Europe des rois et des bourgeois. L’attention est concentrée sur les expressions de l’aspiration démocratique, sur les effets des mouvements ouvrier et socialiste naissants, sur la représentation des efforts d’émancipation des femmes. Grâce à plus de 500 reproductions, les auteurs montrent comment interpréter une iconographie souvent réduite à sa dimension esthétique par l’histoire de l’art. L’enjeu est de réapprendre à lire des dessins en quelque sorte coupés de leur sens socio-politique - leur valeur marchande ayant très tôt conduit à les détacher des journaux satiriques constituant dans la plupart des cas leur support originel. Car le discours iconique n’est pas une simple illustration. Il crée son code et ses stéréotypes. Polysémique, il propose sa propre vision du monde. De même qu’une intertextualité des textes, il y a en somme une intericonicité des images, elle-même prise dans l’intermédialité générale du siècle (presse, chanson, littérature, théâtre, peinture et arts plastiques). L’ambition affichée est de contribuer à la formation d’une discipline en émergence entre l’histoire, l’histoire de l’art et l’histoire littéraire : les études culturelles médiatiques.

This volume focuses on realisations of wordplay in different cultures and social and historical contexts, and brings together various research traditions of approaching wordplay. Together with the volume DWP 7, it assembles selected papers presented at the interdisciplinary conference The Dynamics of Wordplay / La dynamique du jeu de mots (Trier, 2016) and stresses the inherent dynamicity of wordplay and wordplay research.

Fuzzball is queen of her home, where her "subjects" do her bidding and make sure she is groomed, fed, and entertained, calling her name "nooo Fuzzball" all day long--but one day they leave the house, and when they do not return promptly Fuzzball starts to worry, and finally, in a panic, she resolves to be a more benevolent queen, and maybe redecorate the house to show her feline approval of her staff.

Wordplay involving several linguistic codes represents an important modality of ludic language. It is attested in different epochs, communicative situations, genres, and contexts of use. The translation of wordplay, which is generally seen as a challenging enterprise, illustrates another dimension of crossing linguistic borders in wordplay. The third volume of the series The Dynamics of Wordplay unites contributions from different disciplines which study the creative and playful use of elements from different languages and the transfer of ludic language into other linguistic systems. It sheds light on the multi-dimensionality, special linguistic make-up, and specific interactive potential of wordplay at the interface of different languages and cultures. The individual studies collected in this volume will be of interest to scholars from different scientific fields, such as linguistics and literary studies as well as cultural and media studies.

Links to musical pieces selected by Pascal Duc and performed by students of the Conservatoire nationale de musique, Paris, illuminate the wider musical context of the work, enlarging
