Since the early 1980s, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of international gay/lesbian-themed visual productions, ranging from pornographic images and television programmes to advertising and graphic novels.

ISBN: 9783039100576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the multifaceted concepts of otherness, barbarism and exteriority. Is encountering the Other still possible in a world in which we all have become rootless, disconnected and strangers, alienated from the outside world and from ourselves? Does the question of Otherness still bear a meaning after the deconstruction of the self and the crumbling of the very concept of identity? The author examines some major twentieth-century poetic responses to the violent denial of otherness and difference in modern Europe. The myth of Medea is brought in to reflect upon the tragic history...

Crossing Borders: The Interrelation of Fact and Fiction in Historical Works, Travel Tales, Autobiography and Reportage
ISBN: 9783034319959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the twentieth century, the boundaries between different literary genres started to be questioned, raising a discussion about the various narrative modes of factual and fictional discourses.
Moving on from the limited traditional studies of genre definitions, this book argues that the borders between these two types of discourse depend on complex issues of epistemology, literary traditions and social and political constraints. This study attempts a systematic and specific analysis of how literary works, and in particular documentary ones, where the borders are more difficult to define,...

From Bad Boys to New Men?: Masculinity, Sexuality and Violence in the Work of Éric Jourdan
ISBN: 9783034307369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is the first critical survey of the work of Eric Jourdan. Jourdan first came to public attention as a schoolboy in 1955, when he published Les Mauvais anges, a sulphorous novel of adolescent male-to-male love, which was banned by the censors in 1956 and again in 1974. It did not officially appear until 1984. Despite the ban, and despite ongoing censorship, Jourdan continues to write novels, short stories and plays. His many books include the trilogy Charite, Revolte and Sang, and other equally uninhibited texts such as Le Garcon de joie, Aux...

Viva Pinter: Harold Pinter's Spirit of Resistance
ISBN: 9783039119295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In his Nobel speech, entitled Art, Truth and Politics, Harold Pinter explained how he was fighting against the -tapestry of lies-. It is indeed those daily lies, lies of love or of state, that are exposed in this book, which emphasises his political agenda. In March 2007, the University of Lyon (Jean Moulin) and the ENS LSH organised VIVA PINTER, a tribute to his work centred on a key notion for the city of Lyon, the Spirit of Resistance. Pinter combined a concise, fragmented and syllogistic style with a keen perception of the metaphors of our time. The most specific instrument of this...

Writing Shame and Desire: The Work of Annie Ernaux
ISBN: 9783039102754 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The mature narrator of Annie Ernaux s La Honte (1997) identifies her father s assault on her mother, in June 1952, as the founding event in her awareness of self and social place, a bedrock memory that represents the one remaining link between the child she was and the woman she has become. As an adolescent, the protagonist is sexually repressed and socially humiliated, incapable of communicating her shame. As a mature woman, the narrator gives a frank account of the childhood mortification that is stamped into her psyche, and (in the concluding lines of the text) flags a later...

This multidisciplinary edited volume examines wide-ranging exchanges between France and its Mediterranean neighbours and their impact. It questions the changing notion of a Mediterranean space and its representation, centrality and relevance in terms of France s international relations under Sarkozy s presidency, from the launch of the Union for the Mediterranean and its complex articulations with the European Union s own agenda in the region, to the tortuous relations with Libya, made even more complicated by the 2011 Arab Spring .

This book presents the first complete overview in English of the prose fiction of Georges Perec, recognised since his death in 1982 as one of the most influential and innovative French writers of his generation.

French in Canada: Language Issues
ISBN: 9783039101429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book analyses comprehensively the complex linguistic situation in Canada focusing particularly on the position of the French language at both national and provincial levels. Language issues in Canada are of great interest to linguists and sociolinguists for many reasons, not least because of Canada s policy of official bilingualism (Official Languages Act, 1969).

Individual chapters discuss...

As they oscillate and flow between action and aesthetics, habit and creativity, rhythms are vital to our understanding of how subjectivities are constructed upon the shifting borderlines between life and art. Yet whilst rhythm remains an established concept in studies of French poetry, this is the first major overview to address the centrality of rhythm in fields such as literature, philosophy, dance and film, and to link these debates across periods and disciplines within French Studies. Drawing on thinkers such as Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Lefebvre, Meschonnic, and Virilio, the...

Ce livre se consacre a l uvre de Marie-Claire Bancquart, poete, romanciere, essayiste et critique. Habiter le monde en conscience, en y effleurant des joies, en y devinant des survies dans l immanence, sans rien ignorer de ses violences, habiter - avec la mort, quartier d orange entre les dents -, telle est la tache que se fixe Bancquart dans sa poesie. - Braille du vivant -, la langue du poeme doit permettre, avec simplicite, exigence, tendresse, d interroger l enigme des choses, entre presence et fragilite, parole et suspens.

This study focuses on fictional representations of albinism in the work of the French writers Didier Destremau and Patrick Grainville, and the Francophone Guinean writer Williams Sassine.

A series of common themes can be found in these novels, which, although present in different combinations and intensities, echo the preoccupations of all fictional writing about...

The last three decades have witnessed the proliferation of gay/lesbian-themed films both on our screens and at international film festivals. This trend termed hypervisibility by Julianne Pidduck has gone far beyond the boundaries of countries with a multicultural tradition and now reaches many territories, including the French-speaking world. What is the narrative and thematic originality of such films in French-speaking contexts? Do such feature films develop problematics and approaches specific to areas such as metropolitan France or Francophone Canada?

My Mother, My Country: Reconstructing the Female Self in Guadeloupean Women's Writing

The five authors whose texts are examined are Maryse Conde, Myriam Warner-Vieyra, Michele Lacrosil, Jacqueline Manicom and Simone Schwarz-Bart.
