This volume sign posts several paths of multimodality research and theory-building today. The chapters represent a cross-section of current perspectives on multimodal discourse with a special focus on theoretical and methodological issues (mode hierarchies, modeling semiotic resources as multiple semiotic systems, multimodal corpus annotation). In addition, it discusses a wide range of applications for multimodal description in fields like mathematics, entertainment, education, museum design, medicine and translation.

The Literature of Satire is an accessible but sophisticated and wide-ranging study of satire from the classics to the present in plays, novels and the press as well as in verse. In it Charles Knight analyses the rhetorical problems created by satire's complex relations to its community, and examines how it exploits the genres it borrows. He argues that satire derives from an awareness of the differences between appearance, ideas and discourse. Knight provides illuminating readings of such satirists familiar and unfamiliar as Horace, Lucian, Jonson, Molière, Swift, Pope, Byron, Flaubert, Ostrovsky, Kundera, and Rushdie. This broad-ranging examination sheds light on the nature and functions of satire as a mode of writing, as well as on theoretical approaches to it. It will be of interest to scholars interested in literary theory as well as those specifically interested in satire.

Prevalent but long-neglected genres such as dialogue have recently been attracting attention in Renaissance studies. In view of the pervasive and varied nature of this genre's use in the European Renaissance, it has become crucial to widen the perspective so as to take into account more diverse approaches to this hybrid form. For this reason, Dorothea Heitsch and Jean-François Vallee have assembled a broad collection of essays by international scholars that presents comparative, interdisciplinary, and theoretical inquiry into this neglected area. The contributors who bring with them different linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds examine dialogue from a variety of perspectives, taking into account various factors linked to the upsurge of the genre in the Renaissance. These factors include the emergence of a complex and multifarious subjectivity, the advent of modern utopias, the social and political importance of courtliness, the rise of print culture, religious and scientific controversy, the prevalence of pedagogy and rhetorical culture, the ethos of humanism, the gendering of dialogue, and Renaissance 'logocentrism.' Discussed are some of the most important works in Italian, French, German, Neo-Latin, and English, as well as some lesser known texts, making Printed Voices a truly essential volume for the Renaissance scholar.

Un livre sur cinq vendu en France est un policier. De Simenon à Cornwell, de Daeninckx, Jonquet ou Vargas à Menkell, Pears ou Camillieri, rares sont les lecteurs qui n'ont jamais fréquenté ces récits. À partir d'une quarantaine d'entretiens approfondis avec des lecteurs assidus, Annie Collovald et Érik Neveu tentent de comprendre les raisons d'un tel engouement. Quelle est aujourd'hui l'offre de récits policiers? Comment se familiarise-t-on à ce genre littéraire? Quelles justifications, quels plaisirs les lecteurs invoquent-ils? Quelle évasion peut bien offrir une littérature qui évoque le sang, la menace, souvent les frontières noires du monde social? Et comment rendre compte des troublantes coïncidences entre les ruptures biographiques (mobilité sociale, drames personnels) vécues par bien des lecteurs et leur prédilection pour le polar? En rendant visible La capacité des genres policiers à cumuler les attraits des littératures de distraction, de savoir et de salut, cette recherche, qui accompagne au plus près la biographie et les pratiques des lecteurs, aide aussi à comprendre les raisons d'un succès et les cohérences d'un public pourtant bigarré.
