Cependant, même l'action résultant de la Convention de 1906 entre le Saint Siège-signée par de Cuvelier et Monseigneur Vico-et ce qui était l'État Indépendant du Congo, jugée mieux Iotie à certains égards, elle souffrait des mêmes carences que les enseignements dispensés par d'autres organisations confessionnelles. En l'absence d'une politique cohérente suivie, ce mariage noué entre deux partenaires de circonstances, la religion et l'enseignement des connaissances, menait vers des avatars, et pourquoi pas vers des crises identitaires qui sourderont plus tard avec force. Ma communication traite de cette disparité d'abstraction et de la crise identitaire d'une collusion mal assortie dont la …
Sexualized Collaborations And The Politics Of Ghost-Writing In Franco-Arab Literature: From Paul Bowles To Tout Le Monde Aime Mohamed, Mehammed Mack
Sexualized Collaborations And The Politics Of Ghost-Writing In Franco-Arab Literature: From Paul Bowles To Tout Le Monde Aime Mohamed, Mehammed Mack
French Studies: Faculty Publications
In the last few decades, the landscape of Franco-Arab fiction has seen a great many authorship scandals, in which French non-Arab authors have impersonated Arabs and found publishing success. In this essay, I revisit these scandals while focusing on a recent “autobiographical” novel that raised suspicions of ghostwriting: 2011’s Tout le monde aime Mohamed (Everyone Loves Mohamed ) by Malik Kuzman. An impressionistic collage of homo-erotic encounters, its fleeting structure recalls that of Barthes’ Incidents, a series of social vignettes culled from the author’s time in Morocco. I explore the simultaneity of Barthes’ Death of the Author argument and the …

Claire Legendre’S Portrait Of Hypermodern Society, Michèle A. Schaal
Claire Legendre’S Portrait Of Hypermodern Society, Michèle A. Schaal
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Theorists from various academic disciplines believe Western society has entered an age of excess and exacerbated modernity: all areas of life are affected by a will to be or do more at an always faster pace. This article focuses on French writer Claire Legendre’s literary translation of hypermodernity, especially in her narratives published over the past decade. First, it examines her portrayal of contemporary individuality, marked by all sorts of excesses and especially by the imperative to make the most of oneself and one’s life. This ideal being in itself excessive, her characters resort to extreme behaviors. However, they never …
Mirrors In The Text: Amélie Nothomb’S Mercure, Lisa F. Signori
Mirrors In The Text: Amélie Nothomb’S Mercure, Lisa F. Signori
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
In Belgian author Amélie Nothomb’s 1998 novel Mercure, the multitudes of physical, figurative, and narrative mirrors invite a reflexive reading of the text. While numerous critics have focused on the intertextuality in Mercure—its most obvious manifestation of reflexivity—the novel’s intratextuality has not been analyzed as extensively, and none of these manifestations has been analyzed specifically as an instance of narrative reflexivity. Guided by the theme of mirrors and mirroring, the purpose of this article is to recast in terms of narrative reflexivity some of the extant critical analysis of Mercure, to uncover other as yet unexplored realizations …
French Fiction, Empathy, And The Utopian Potential Of 9/11, Tim Gauthier
French Fiction, Empathy, And The Utopian Potential Of 9/11, Tim Gauthier
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
In From Solidarity to Schisms, Cara Cilano conceptualizes September 11 as a moment “characterized by unfathomable vulnerability and the possibility of a better future.” She argues the event, while traumatic, might have served as an impetus to reconfigure American self-perceptions and thoughts about its place in the world. Instead, she contends, the United States squandered the utopian potential of this moment. Cilano remains optimistic, however, because she sees European fictional discourse on 9/11 as emblematic of a desire for a melding of divergent perspectives. Their critique aims to keep America’s sense of itself unbalanced, thus providing fuel for self-reflection, …

Obscurity In Medieval Texts, Lucie Doležalová, Jeff Rider, Alessandro Zironi
Obscurity In Medieval Texts, Lucie Doležalová, Jeff Rider, Alessandro Zironi
Jeff Rider
Modern readers of medieval texts often find them obscure. Some of this obscurity is accidental and inevitable due to the historical and cultural distance that separates modern readers from medieval authors, but medieval readers and authors also appear to have simply had a higher tolerance for textual obscurity than we do and even to have viewed obscurity as desirable and a virtue. They did not believe that obscurity could ever be eradicated and were not scared of the indescribable, indivisible, and ungraspable; they accepted reality as complex and ultimately unintelligible. Obscurity was not simply a riddle to be solved. It …
Lai Du Conseil, Brinduşa Grigoriu, Catharina Peersman, Jeff Rider
Lai Du Conseil, Brinduşa Grigoriu, Catharina Peersman, Jeff Rider
Jeff Rider
This is an edition of the thirteenth-century, northern French Lai du conseil by Brinduşa Elena Grigoriu, Catharina Peersman and Jeff Rider, with an Introduction and notes by Brinduşa Elena Grigoriu and Jeff Rider. The Lai du Conseil is a remarkable artistic achievement that offers us a realistic, sophisticated, sensitive and touching portrait of the most important moment in the imagined relationship of its two principal characters, the moment when they realize and confess their love for one another. The success of the poem, indeed, springs first and foremost from its author’s decision to focus on this emotionally charged, universally familiar …
