Flaubert et la stéréographie française, 1850-1880 by Arden Reed

“…Like a time capsule, French stereography from 1850 to 1880 captures for us his visual surroundings and his cultural context: a world of visual clichés that parallel his idées reçues: romantic plots, exotic locations, erotic fantasies, people represented like objects and the reverse. …”

O parricídio como espetáculo da violência: O dia em que matei meu pai by Aileen El-Kadi

“…The first person narrative voice in the novel by Mario Sabino, O dia em que matei meu pai, builds an universe composed of two coordinates, one follows the logic of subjective pleasure/perversion where the characters show social pathology des- cribed by the narrator as a result of a context governed by psychological violence and amorality, and where the dynamics is always erotic, the other component is spectacular as the axis from which the characters seem to represent roles built based on stereotypes that arise from mass culture. …”

La nuit américaine dans Noir de Robert Coover by Marc Amfreville

“…Drawing from recognizable romances and tales of detection (early English, American and Victorian Gothic), but also from classic writers such as Hawthorne and Conrad, not to mention Chandler and the film adaptation of The Big Sleep, Coover takes us into an urban nightmare in its horizontal labyrinthine dimension and its vertical and spectral depths. Under the highly erotic and conventionally threatening figure of a Black widow, who owes much to Baudelaire’s death ringing passer-by, and by resorting extensively to the poetics of erasure, veiling and claustration, this highly metatextual novel captures in its spider’s web the simulacrum of all detective fiction by pitting it against the anticipated shadow presence of the most ambitious critique (Benjamin, Derrida, Baudrillard).…”

“Le Tétraque se perdait dans un rêve”: Concordance between Flaubert’s Hérodias and Hérodiade by Milliet, Grémont and Massenet by Clair Rowden

“…In this light, Massenet’s opera provides a dance scene that moves beyond the traditional voyeurism of Salomé’s dance to provide an erotic, even pornographic scene, despite and due to the absence of a dancer, which evokes Third-Republican concerns – onanism, sterility, depopulation and decadence – as part of the opera’s wider exploration of the place of religion and moral philosophy in society, both ancient and modern.…”
