Éditorial Manuel JOBERT Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 Président de la Société de Stylistique Anglaise CREA – EA 370 L’atelier de stylistique du 54ème congrès de la SAES à l’Université de Caen invitait à interroger la notion de « traversée ». La stylistique, elle- même traversée par de nombreux courants, était donc au cœur de la thématique retenue. Pendant trois demi-journées, des membres de notre société ont contribué à éclairer la problématique du congrès. Je tiens à remercier Véronique Alexandre et Chris Smith (Université de Caen) d’avoir accepté de co-diriger notre atelier et d’avoir animé les débats avec beaucoup de pertinence. Nous espérons avoir de plaisir de les retrouver lors de nos prochaines manifestations. Si les propositions de communication étaient moins nombreuses que d’autres années, cela n’a pas remis en cause la diversité des approches. Le présent numéro d’ESA reprend huit des communications présentées ainsi que deux articles « hors-congrès », l’un émanant de Helen Ringrow (University of Portsmouth) dont Paul Simpson (Queen’s University, Belfast) a dirigé la thèse, l’autre de Lynn Blin dont l’article est une reprise d’une communication effectuée dans le cadre de l’atelier « Writing in Non- Standard English » de ESSE 2014 en Slovaquie. La Société de Stylistique Anglaise ne peut que se féliciter de cette ouverture. Le présent volume est équilibré : cinq études sur dix sont consacrées à la littérature de langue anglaise. L’article de Sandrine Sorlin ouvre le numéro avec une étude de l’essai A Small Place de Jamaica Kincaid. L’article de Marie-Agnès Gay, portant sur le roman Crossings, de Chuang Hua, invite à s’intéresser à la littérature sino- américaine. Celui de Manuel Jobert, sur The Buddha in the Attic de Julie Otsuka, concerne la littérature nippo-américaine. Ces trois articles ÉDITORIAL interrogent, grâce à l’analyse stylistique, la position du colonisé ou de l’immigré et son rapport au groupe dominant. Natalie Mandon-Hunter, propose une analyse minutieuse des poèmes de Wilfred Owen et Bertrand Lentsch offre une lecture attentive de Flow Chart, de John Ashbery. Linda Pillière, pour sa part, présente une étude de « stylistique multimodale » impliquant de nombreuses traversées sémiotiques. Dans le même esprit, Joanna Thornborrow étudie la poétique des journaux télévisés, ce qui rend nécessaire une prise en compte de différentes modalités signifiantes. Catherine Chauvin propose une étude novatrice sur un genre rarement étudié, celui de la stand-up comedy. L’article de Lynn Blin est consacré à la représentation de l’anglais standard et celui de Helen Ringrow à une analyse comparée français / anglais du discours publicitaire. Notre revue, dont la publication a été assurée par le service édition de l’Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense (Paris X) pendant plus de trente ans, est maintenant publiée par le service édition de l’Université Jean Moulin – Lyon 3. En conséquence, la maquette évolue : elle devient plus colorée et adopte un graphisme plus contemporain. La chouette chevêche d’Athéna qui ornait le Bulletin de la Société de Stylistique Anglaise réapparaît mais de manière moins figurative. Nous espérons que cette maquette rénovée, la dernière avant le passage à la version numérique, vous plaira. Nous ne pouvons conclure cet éditorial sans évoquer la mémoire de Geoffrey Leech, décédé le 19 août 2014 à l’âge de 78 ans. Geoff était l’auteur de plus d’une trentaine d’ouvrages de linguistique anglaise. On se souviendra de son travail décisif en grammaire anglaise, sous l’impulsion de Randolph Quirk, et de son rôle de pionnier en linguistique de corpus. En 1970, il décida que l’Université de Lancaster devait se doter d’un corpus pouvant rivaliser avec celui de Brown pour l’anglais américain. Le Lancaster / Oslo / Bergen (LOB) corpus était né. Les stylisticiens se souviendront surtout de son ouvrage Style in Fiction (1981), co-écrit avec Mick Short. Notre société est fière d’avoir rendu hommage à Geoff en organisant le colloque de Lyon, Style in Fiction Today: in Honnour of Geoffrey Leech & Mick Short (actes publiés dans ESA 4 en 2013) pour fêter le trentième anniversaire de Style in Fiction. Geoff était très heureux 8 ÉDITORIAL de revenir à Lyon où, enfant, il avait un correspondant. Nos pensées accompagnent son épouse, ses enfants, ses petits-enfants et tous nos collègues de PALA. Qu’il nous soit permis de lui dédier ce numéro. 9 Ideological crossings: ‘you’ and the pragmatics of negation in Jamaica Kincaid’s A Small Place Sandrine SORLIN Aix-Marseille Université / LERMA / IUF Introduction A Small Place, written by Jamaica Kincaid1, a West Indian writer living in the US, belongs to her non-fiction prose: this generic crossing is indeed the first surprise the uninformed reader comes across when taking up the book. The second lies in the echoic discourse that Kincaid’s prose is based on. It seems to present itself in the manner and style of a travel guidebook to the mesmerizing island of Antigua, directly addressed to the reader in the second person. But the echo soon becomes satirical as discursive twists push the reader to grasp Kincaid’s “oppositional irony”: more of an anti-travel guidebook, A Small Place is often disparaged as being “too angry”2. If animated by a rhetoric of anger, I would contend that Kincaid’s forceful writing stops short of an excess of anger through a very controlled writing that keeps the reader from rejecting the book entirely while being severely put under attack. The purpose of this paper is to evince how she stylistically manages to back the reader into a corner 1 Elaine Potter Richardson changed her name to Jamaica Kincaid in order to be able to write about her past as a West-Indian Antiguan girl under British Rule. The change in names was a way for her “to do things without being the same person who couldn’t do them—the same person who had all these weights”

We, however, argue that Reality TV is both a pervasive and important cultural form, and as such it is vital that researchers and teachers engage with it. We return to the controversial UK Big Brother 2007 arguments involving Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. We explore how the dynamics of class, gender and race played out in this case. Using this example, we look at how celebrity culture, ideas of truth and dominant discourses of White working-class culture position both the housemates and their audiences. We further argue that the coverage of the event foreclosed any discussions of White middle-class racism by drawing on discourses that denigrate the White working-class. In this paper we argue that Reality TV is an important social phenomenon as evidenced by the amount of controversy and debate that this genre generates. It is also a site of pleasure for both of us writing this paper and provides us with an intermingling of emotional pleasure and academic challenge.

Jade in Free-fall: From ‘Hero to Zero’ ABSTRACT Conclusion Prior to the Celebrity Big Brother ‘ race’ row in 2007, Bibliography British Reality TV star, Jade Goody, was recurrently held up as emblematic of the ‘democratisation’ of celebrity. Yet this controversy gives us cause to question a narrative of populist democracy where the circulation of celebrity status is concerned. This article explores the construction of Jade’s image before, during and after the row, examining how it offers a unique insight into the relationship between Reality TV, celebrity and discourses of selfhood in contemporary culture - especially as these are mapped across the categories of gender and class. Indeed, Jade’s representational journey points to some of the cultural tensions which surround the fascination with Reality TV stars. They are often required to demonstrate the retention of an essential ‘working-class glitz beneath the glamour’ (Biressi and Nunn 2005, p. 146), while (like many ‘essential’ identities), this core can also be cast in negative terms – as the ‘real’ identity which must be (re)assumed if social order is to prevail.

  • 'Living the Dream'
    ‘Living the Dream’? A Critical History of the ‘ordinary person’ in the media 1. Introduction For those of us who follow such things, the finale of the UK‟s Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 was a memorable media event. The winner of the show was Chantelle Houghton whose chief claim to fame was that she was not initially a celebrity. Rather she was an ordinary person required convincingly to pass as a celebrity for her genuine celebrity housemates – a task which, with the connivance (one suspects) of some of them, she achieved. And now, on the last night, she emerged from the house, to the accompaniment of fireworks and flash photography, repeatedly uttering the phrase “oh my god!” as she waved to the cheering crowd. The set, a catwalk, was shot from multiple camera angles, to make visible the presence of security guards and, to its left, a big screen on which live images of Chantelle were played back to the crowd. The presenter, Davina McCall, announced “Chantelle walked in as a non-celebrity and walked out as the star of the show. It‟s a dream”. Her words were echoed by Chantelle‟s mother when during her exit interview she was asked what she thought her daughter should do now. “Live the dream” was her reply. This event epitomised a key feature of contemporary media culture, widely recognised and commented on, that the ordinary person, through media recognition, has increasing opportunities to achieve fame. In this, Andy Warhol‟s much quoted dictum has become a cliché; and is inaccurate in so far as the fame achieved by some reality TV contestants, like Chantelle, has lasted far longer than fifteen minutes.
