Economic and Symbolic Transmissions in Women’s Novels: Frances Burney, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell by Marie-Laure Massei-Chamayou

“…In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf traces a fascinating genealogy of women writers from Aphra Behn to George Eliot, including Frances Burney and Jane Austen among others, to emphasize the power of influence in relation to their engagement with both fiction and economics. At the crossroads between economic and symbolic transmissions, this paper seeks to highlight the evolving representations of women’s complex relationships to inheritance by focusing on a few emblematic novels, whose plots crystallize major economic and social changes—namely Burney’s Cecilia (1782), Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (1811), and Gaskell’s North and South (1854‒55).…”

La scène internationale : les nouveaux horizons dans Daniel Deronda de George Eliot by Stéphanie Drouet-Richet

Daniel Deronda operates on a vaster scale, following a progression from restricted microcosm to complex macrocosm, exploring new bearings on the international scene, away from the narrow concerns of the individual to the recognition of the needs of other fellow beings. …”

Signs of Innovation in European Cinema. Electronic Music in Antonioni and Tarkovsky by Gabriele

“…Tarkovsky’s well-established relationship with Eduard Artemiev, matured within the Moscow studio, allowed Tarkovsky to use electronic sounds in some of his films, such as Solaris, in a manner far removed from the worn-out standards of science-fiction cinema. Likewise, Antonioni found in the music of Vittorio Gielmetti a suitable aural commentary on the mental disorders of the protagonist in Deserto rosso, inserting electronic music into the palette to describe the horizons of the inner human psyche. …”

Aux sources du sensationnel : Wilkie Collins lecteur de l’abbé Prévost ? by Shelly Charles

“…It analyses the author’s particular strategy in amplifying this « true story » and tries to explain the more general pertinence of Prévost’s work as a journalist and a « documentary novelist » for the formation of Wilkie Collins’s poetics of fiction. A relation is thus established between Basil and Prévost’s Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, the relevance of which, more than a century after its publication, can be explained by the current success of another and most recent rewriting of Manon Lescaut : Dumas fils’s La Dame aux camélias...…”
