    1 Matt Phillips, ‘French Studies: Literature, 2000 to the Present Day’, Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, 80 (2020), 209–260 DOI for published version: https://doi.org/10.1163/22224297-08001010 [TT] Literature, 2000 to the Present Day [A] Matt Phillips, Royal Holloway, University of London This survey covers the years 2017 and 2018 [H2]1. General Alexandre Gefen, Réparer le monde: la littérature française face au XXIe siècle, Corti, 2017, 392 pp., argues that contemporary French literature has undergone a therapeutic turn, with both writing and reading now conceived in terms of healing, helping, and doing good. G. defends this thesis with extraordinary thoroughness as he examines the turn’s various guises: as objects of literature’s care here feature the self and its fractures; trauma, both individual and collective; illness, mental and physical; mourning and forgetfulness, personal and historical; and endangered bonds, with humans and beyond, on local and global scales. This amounts to what G. calls a new ‘paradigme clinique’ and, like any paradigm shift, this one appears replete with contradictions, tensions, and opponents, not least owing to the residual influence of preceding paradigms; G.’s analysis is especially impressive when unpicking the ways in which contemporary writers negotiate their sustained attachments to a formal, intransitive conception of literature, and/or more overtly revolutionary political projects. His thesis is supported by an enviable breadth of reference: G. lays out the diverse intellectual, technological, and socioeconomic histories at work in this development, and touches on close to 200 contemporary writers. Given the broad, synthetic nature of the work’s endeavour, individual writers/works are rarely discussed for longer than a page, and though G.’s commentary is always insightful, specialists on particular authors or social/historical trends will surely find much to work with and against here.

Cruz, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1996 Cruz, Richard A., Andre Malraux: The Anticolonial and Antifascist Years. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1996, 281 pp., 175 titles. This dissertation provides an explanation of how Andr6 Malraux, a man of great influence on twentieth century European culture, developed his political ideology, first as an anticolonial social reformer in the 1920s, then as an antifascist militant in the 1930s. Almost all of the previous studies of Malraux have focused on his literary life, and most of them are rife with errors. This dissertation focuses on the facts of his life, rather than on a fanciful recreation from his fiction. The major sources consulted are government documents, such as police reports and dispatches, the newspapers that Malraux founded with Paul Monin, other Indochinese and Parisian newspapers, and Malraux's speeches and interviews. Other sources include the memoirs of Clara Malraux, as well as other memoirs and reminiscences from people who knew Andre Malraux during the 1920s and the 1930s. The dissertation begins with a survey of Malraux's early years, followed by a detailed account of his experiences in Indochina.

The question of Proust and music .is a large one, for here, more than with perhaps any other author, the subject is particularly pregnant. Not only is there extended dis- cussion of music in Proust's works, but also the fictional Vinteuil in A la recherche du temps perdu is elevated to the rank .of an artistic "hero," a ."phare" in the Baudelairian sense. It is no accident that Vinteuil 1 s music is more of a revelation for the narrator than the works-of Bergotte the writer or Elstir the painter, for Proust virtually raised music to the highest art-foz,n, or, rather, it is th~ art-form which came closest to his own idea of "essence," the medium by.which souls can communicate.

  • Exotisme Étouffé Sous La Vision Impériale Dans Les Quatre Dames D’Angora De Claude Farrère
    Humanitas, 2017; 5(10): 263-281 http://humanitas.nku.edu.tr ISSN: 2147-088X DOI: 10.20304/humanitas.339526 Araştırma-İnceleme EXOTISME ÉTOUFFÉ SOUS LA VISION IMPÉRIALE DANS LES QUATRE DAMES D’ANGORA DE CLAUDE FARRÈRE Zahide GÜNAY1 “Le seul véritable voyage, le seul bain de jouvence, ce ne serait pas d’aller voir de nouveaux paysages, mais d’avoir d’autres yeux” Marcel Proust. Résumé: Claude Farrère l’a dit ouvertement, il était pour le “colonialisme pacifiqueˮ. Il a aussi affirmé qu’il était l’ami des Turcs. Quoi qu’il en soit, les études “exotiquesˮ ont souvent fait preuve de complicité avec le colonialisme. À travers son roman, sous le processus d’occidentalisation, Les quatre dames d’Angora sont embaumées d’un parfum ottoman, cependant le charme est rompu avec l’intrusion de l’image de la femme française. Et le fait que l’auteur connaisse ces autochtones ottomanes, au point de “se préoccuper de leur problèmeˮ fait périr l’exotisme. Par contre, le mystère est maintenu autour des femmes russes. Une fois que le 263 voile de l’exotisme est levé, il ne reste plus que les louanges adressées à l’islam, un thème fort qui domine le roman. Le gouvernement ottoman étant considéré comme un État religieux, Farrère mise sur la foi musulmane. Le fait qu’il soit pour l’intégrité d’un Empire affaibli dû aux Capitulations va de pair avec les intérêts de la France. Malgré tout cela, sa plume fait preuve d’une merveilleuse et douce vision poétique, exotique tout en jouissant de la “différenceˮ et en désirant de se renouveler dans le cadre de la relation à l’Autre à travers des descriptions sur la nature et le passé.

  • The Narrative Turn in the French Novel of the 1970S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto The Narrative Turn in the French Novel of the 1970s Hanna Meretoja University of Turku One of the central aspects of the nouveau roman, the most important French literary movement of the 1950s and 1960s, was the way in which it questioned the idea of the novel as storytelling. The nouveaux romanciers, such as Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute and Claude Simon, wanted to bring forth the ideological question- ability of narrativity epitomized by what they called “Balzacian realism” – in terms of which, they felt, the novel as a genre was still viewed and assessed. However, after this period of radical problematization, a rehabilitation of storytelling is visible in the French novel of the 1970s – a shift that some scholars have characterized as the “return of the narrative” or as “re-narratization of the novel” (see e.g. Kibedi Varga 1988, 38; Gratton 1997, 248; cf. Davis & Fallaize 2000, 14–15). In my article, I would like to shed some light on this “narrative turn” by arguing that it can be seen as a turn towards a fundamentally hermeneutic view of the narrative mediatedness of our relation to the world. As my primary example I will use Michel Tournier who has been mentioned as a major representative of this turn (Kibedi Varga 1988, 38; Gratton 1997, 248) but whose precise contribution to it has not yet been examined. Problematization of Storytelling in the Nouveau Roman First, I will have a brief look at why the nouveaux romanciers rejected the idea of the novel as storytelling or as “narration of a succession of fictional events” (to use Rimmon-Kenan’s (1988, 2) definition of ‘narrative fiction’).

    The Journal of Specialised Translation. Issue 1 January 2004 Chris Durban Demanding clients state their case: Comments on the client round table at La Rochelle (SFT université d'été, July 2002) ABSTRACT Linguists are as vulnerable as the most hapless monolingual buyer of translation when a debate takes place in a language they do not speak or read. The author draws reader’s attention to a discussion of translation quality and priorities by three demanding buyers of financial translation, and highlights issues that might be of interest to students, teachers and practicing translators. The text of the round table can be accessed in French at http://www.sft.fr/dossiers/actesrochelle/8acheteurs.pdf KEYWORDS Translation buyers, clients, specialisation, translator, client interaction, writing skills, advice, financial translation Standard features of contributions to translator egroups and bulletin boards are gloomy references to relentless pressure on prices and killer deadlines. Articles by academics, too, often include a negative reference to the marketplace and its impact on quality. Meanwhile specialised translators are demanding and collecting comfortable fees while interacting with premium clients who insist on top- notch quality and show genuine appreciation for their efforts. Perhaps these translators are too busy working to spread the word; perhaps they simply do not identify with the hand wringing. Otherwise they might speak up to remind newcomers to the profession and some of the ageing nay sayers that the situation is not all that bleak.1 In any event, public discussions of translation priorities by demanding clients in this segment of the market are rare enough to merit greater exposure.

  • La Recepción Temprana De Marcel Proust En El Espacio De Revistas Culturales Argentinas De Los Años Veinte
    Vol 6, Nº 11 (2018) ISSN 2169-0847 (online) Margarita Merbilhaá Universidad Nacional de la Plata-Conicet [email protected] La recepción temprana de Marcel Proust en el espacio de revistas culturales argentinas de los años veinte The Early Reception of Marcel Proust in the Space of Argentinian Cultural Journal of the Twenties Resumen Este trabajo analiza el fenómeno de lectura de En busca del tiempo perdido, de Marcel Proust, a partir de la centralidad que cobró su recepción en un arco muy diverso de publicaciones literarias y culturales aparecidas en Buenos Aires en la década de 1920. Analiza el modo en que a través de éstas las diversas colaboraciones encontraron en la lectura de esta obra distintos motivos para definir una sensibilidad emergente y, por otro lado, para pensar el lugar del arte en nueva cultura urbana y masiva. En este sentido, se describen dos claves de lectura, espiritualista y de apertura a la experimentación narrativa, que junto a un interés por teorizar acerca de la novedad en el arte, confirman disposiciones vanguardistas que van más allá del grupo nucleado en torno a la revista Martín Fierro (1924-1927). Por último, el análisis se detiene en la apropiación específica de algunas ideas de Proust desde una experiencia cultural periférica respecto de los centros europeos. Palabras claves Recepción de Marcel Proust, publicaciones culturales de Buenos Aires, vanguardia y modernización cultural en la década de 1920, historia de las ideas críticas. Abstract This article analyzes Marcel Proust’s À la Recherche du Temps perdu reading fenomenous, starting from its central reception in a varied archo of literary and cultural reviews in Buenos Aires by 1920.

What strikes the most in Matila Ghyka’s style is a technique of extensive self- quotation, which is not mere egocentrism. Whereas le Bon does not discriminate between Force and Matter and states that Matter is an infinite reservoir of intra-atomic energy, in the particular case of Matila’s writings, the degree in which textual matter (recollections, memories) dissociates or re-crystalizes indicates the actual force encapsulated in the point of departure (the object of recollection, experience as such). Textual series bring testimony to Ghyka’s strive to burn out variants to invariant (Happiness, the Golden Ratio), to drive meaning to a state of transparency. Keywords: Dematerialization, Matter, Ether, Dreams, Memories, Series Who is Matila Ghyka? Supposing the readers of this essay have never heard of Matila Ghyka, I shall start by enumerating a list of names: Paul Valery, Leon-Paul Fargue, Marcel Proust, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Lucien Fabre, Henri Poincare, Claude Farrere, Salvador Dali, and Gustave le Bon. The list can be broadened but, for reasons of space, I will just resume myself to saying that Ghyka was a very close friend to all these famous people. 475 Langue, civilisation, religion, histoire Friendships let aside, Matila Ghyka himself is a fascinating figure of the Romanian diaspora of the 50’ and 60’, quite unknown to his fellow countrymen because of Communist censure and post-transition disregard.
