Auto-Bio-Fiction La Litterature A La Poursuite Du Reel Dans Lambeaux, De Charles Juliet, Carole Auroy
Auto-Bio-Fiction La Litterature A La Poursuite Du Reel Dans Lambeaux, De Charles Juliet, Carole Auroy
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Separated at the age of three months from his sick mother following a depression and attempted suicide, Charles Juliet only discovered her existence at her funerals seven years later. It took him many more years to relate the tragedy experienced by this woman to the policy of extermination which, under the occupation, caused the death by starvation in psychiatric institutions. Between 1983 and 1995, the novel was accompanied by a hard biographical investigation; the writer attempted to uncover the mystery of his own depths and the origins of his own story: he came out enlightened on the feeling of guilt …

La Coupe Du Monde Dans La Litterature : La Revolte Interieure Dans « Whatever It Takes » (A Tout Prix !) De Bonita Mersiades, Hasna Bouharfouche
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
One of the most important examples of the connection between fiction and the real world is the writings about office and work, a subject of increasing interest to writers who wish to shed light on the conditions of work in the modern century. This is why we chose to study Bonita Mersiades’s "office novel" Whatever it takes, published in January 2018, and that we translated recently to French. The book reveals the secrets of one of the most important institutions in the world, FIFA, and perfectly combines reality with fiction in literature by projecting the "real" story of the writer …

How To Write A Romp That Avoids A Bad Sex In Fiction Award, Catherine Cole
How To Write A Romp That Avoids A Bad Sex In Fiction Award, Catherine Cole
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Catherine Cole Professor in Creative Writing, Liverpool John Moores University Academic rigour, journalistic flair The annual Bad Sex in Fiction award is enough to put any writer off writing a sex scene. This year’s examples are as cringeworthy as those of previous years. It’s not that the authors aren’t trying to get it right; a good sex scene is just very difficult to write. Writers often find themselves caught between the cloying pages of a Harlequin romance and the thrust and grind of porn.

Blackletter: Fiction And A Wall Of Precedent, Louis Anthony Di Leo
Blackletter: Fiction And A Wall Of Precedent, Louis Anthony Di Leo
Dissertations
The eight stories that make up Blackletter explore situations in which people are forced to challenge the legitimacy of authority, rethink and rebuild their own identities, or confront their own involvement in human and environmental degradation. A central theme running throughout the collection is law, broadly, and the ways in which people adhere to or sometimes break from a particular rule, be it social or legislative. In each case, the role of law and its correlation to place and identity—either overt or veiled—serves as a major component of each story. In this way I locate these stories within a sociolegal …

The aim of this project is to present the effect of the immigration issue in the United States, with a direct focus in San Luis Obispo, and including a spread of intercultural knowledge between the Hispanic and the Caucasian community.

"Ghem Pona Wai?": Vernacular Imaginations In Contemporary Papua New Guinea Fiction, Paul Sharrad
"Ghem Pona Wai?": Vernacular Imaginations In Contemporary Papua New Guinea Fiction, Paul Sharrad
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Papua New Guinea (PNG) writing has faded into the background of Pacific literature after initially sparking off the late-colonial/early postcolonial 'boom' of the 1970s. This essay examines some of the dynamics behind this, based on the tension in the loosely networked regional literary formation between cosmopolitan, disaporic, and anglophone expression and 'nativist' vernacular culture. For many reasons, PNG has been more 'vernacular' than 'cosmopolitan', and writing continues to be centred on a few and on the national university where it all began. However, there are some signs of change. The essay surveys recent writing and focuses on work by Regis …

Out Of The Big Smoke: Crime Fiction In 2013, Sue Turnbull
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Oddly enough and against trend – all those Scandinavian crime novels bobbing up in translation – I spent most of the year travelling Australia in crime fiction.
From East (Peter Cotton’s Canberra in Dead Cat Bounce) to West (Alan Carter’s Perth in Getting Warmer) with many intriguing side trips in between; a trip to Thailand with Angela Savage (The Dying Beach), and a retreat to rural South East New South Wales with Stuart Littlemore (Harry Curry: Rats and Mice).
Reviewing the route taken simply confirms my suspicion that Australian crime fiction has become emphatically “regional”. The city is no longer …

The Fiction Of Public Life, Philip Marshall
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
One of Woody Allen's first jobs was as a gag/joke writer indirectly for New York gossip columnists. To coordinate with the appearance of famous people at grand openings, Allen would write appropriately witty lines that a star's press agent would work hard to get placed in a newspaper column like Walter Winchell's. The lines would be treated as authentic quotes as the star entered the premiere, club or ceremony (Lax 71). His reputation grew from this ability to see what would be humorous to say in a very public setting, or just generally what would make a particular star look …
