Les Écrivaines Francophones En Liberté : Farida Belghoul, Maryse Condé, Assia Djebar, Calixthe Beyala, Martine Fernandes

Martine Wagner

A travers l'étude de quatre romans francophones, Georgette ! de Farida Belghoul, En attendant le bonheur de Maryse Condé, L'amour, la fantasia d'Assia Djebar et Tu t'appelleras Tanga de Calixthe Beyala, ce livre analyse l'effet d'hybridité produit par l'intégration et la remise en cause de concepts métaphoriques issus de différentes cultures : tels que le destin de la femme conçu comme une route déjà tracée, l'amour vécu comme une guerre. De fait, à travers leur travail sur la langue française, les écrivaines revendiquent non seulement un style individuel, mais aussi, à travers la liberté d'écrire, la liberté de penser et …

Technology has shaped the personal experiences of Teaching Assistants (TAs) of French at the collegiate level in the United States (US), what they feel about the technology tools that are accessible in their work environment, and how they use these tools in their practice of teaching. Yet, there is limited research on the specific topic of the attitudes of TAs of French toward the instructional technologies that are available to them. This study sought to investigate the attitudes of a singular TA of French at a southern US university toward instructional technology (IT) by exploring the dynamics of IT use …

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr Jan 2015

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr

Juliana Starr

Publié cinq ans avant le célèbre roman Germinal, la nouvelle moins connue L’Inondation (1880), dans laquelle le je-narrateur observe du haut d’un toit l’inondation de la Garonne qui eut lieu en 1875, résonne de manière particulièrement significative aujourd’hui chez les habitants des côtes de la Louisiane et du Mississipi, en raison de sa ressemblance frappante avec quelques-uns des récits filmographiques de l’inondation castastrophique provoquée par l’ouragan Katrina en 2005. L’un de ces films est le documentaire Trouble the Water (2008), dans lequel la rappeuse en herbe Kimberly Roberts dirige son caméscope de vingt dollars sur elle-même et ses voisins bloqués …

Babelian Cosmopolitanism Or Tuning In To “Sublime Frequencies”, Puspa Damai Oct 2014

Babelian Cosmopolitanism Or Tuning In To “Sublime Frequencies”, Puspa Damai

Puspa Damai

Jacques Attali, in his critically acclaimed book, Noise: The Political Economy of Music, cites one of Leibniz’s little known but “extraordinary” texts, “Drôle de pensée touchant nouvelle sorte de représentation,” in which the philosopher describes the “Palace of Marvels.” The Palace of Marvels is Leibniz’s idealization of a perfect political organization, which is built in such a way that the master of the house is able to hear and see everything that is being said and done in the premises without himself being perceived by his subjects. Leibniz’s vision of disciplinary society not only predates Bentham’s or Foucault’s subsequent versions …

Less Is Gore: Graphic Violence In The Fiction Of Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr Jun 2014

Less Is Gore: Graphic Violence In The Fiction Of Judith Gautier, Juliana Starr

Juliana Starr

The exceptionally beautiful Judith Gautier (1845–1917), daughter of Théophile Gautier and Italian opera diva Ernesta Grisi, was raised in the epicenter of Europe’s literary and artistic avant-garde. Among the weekly visitors to her parents’ home were Flaubert, Baudelaire, Delacroix, Dumas, Taine, Mallarmé, Puivis de Chavannes, and the Goncourt brothers. She became a best-selling novelist, an early champion of Richard Wagner, a successful journalist, musicologist and art critic, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and the first woman elected to the prestigious Goncourt Academy. She was instrumental in introducing Europeans to both Chinese and Japanese poetry. Yet, despite these fascinating …
