This study explores France's preoccupation with memories of the Second World War through an examination of popular culture and one of its more enduring forms, crime fiction.

Women's Representations of the Occupation in Post-'68 France
ISBN: 9781349264636 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This study examines French women's writing and representations of the Occupation in post-'68 France. The author looks at the work of 'The Women Resisters', those women who were adult resisters during the war, and 'The Daughters of the Occupation', those who were born during or after the war period. The main contention of the study is that the older generation's nascent awareness of how gender informs political activism is reworked into explicitly feminist representations of wartime France by younger women writers.

Thrilling, absorbing, and full of bizarre plot twists and motivations, the roman noir is crime fiction at its most exciting. In this lively introduction to the post-war French roman noir, Claire Gorrara challenges preconceptions about the roman noir as little more than a populist form of crime fiction and examines how selected writers have appropriated it as a critical response to formative concerns and debates in post-war French society.

Women's Representations of the Occupation in Post-'68 France
ISBN: 9780312212551 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This study looks at French women writers and representations of the Occupation in post-'68 France. Two groups of women writers are selected for discussion: "The Women Resisters," those who were adult resisters during the war years, and "The Daughters of the Occupation," those who were born during or after the war. By examining a number of texts, many of which have received little critical attention to date, this study analyzes how a nascent awareness of gender, representation and political activism informs the texts of an older generation of women writers. Such a perspective is reworked into...

French crime fiction and the Second World War explores France's preoccupation with memories of the Second World War through an examination of popular culture in one of its most enduring forms: crime fiction. A populist literary form, French crime fiction offers fascinating insights into past and present perceptions of the war years in France, as well as the role that popular culture has played in both shaping and reflecting cultural memories of the Occupation.

The Lost Decade? The 1950s in European History, Politics, Society and Culture
ISBN: 9781443825832 / Twarda / 2011 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume of essays explores the social, political and cultural legacies of a decade which has, until relatively recently, received scant scholarly attention. Sandwiched uncomfortably between the traumatic events of the Second World War and the dramatic changes of the 1960s, the 1950s appeared as seemingly transitional years, while they were in fact an astonishingly fecund period of reassessment and experimentation when traditional models were re-evaluated and new models were road-tested, to be either developed or rejected.
An important intervention in the dynamic scholarly... This volume of essays explores the social, political and cultural legacies of a decade which has, until relatively recently, received scant scholarly ...
