The Gastrodynamics of Edna Pontellier’s liberation. by Urszula Niewiadomska-Flis

“…The novelist uses eating and dining scenes as metaphors for Edna Pontellier’s search for her female selfhood and, in a broader perspective, as symbols of the major issue of her own fiction—gender trouble in the South. In this article I will analyze how various dining experiences become metaphors for Edna’s disintegrating marriage; how the liberating exposure to Creole culture and Cajuns’ interstitial social position allows Edna to assert her agency through culinary practices; and, in general, how her journey to self-knowledge and subjectivity within a marriage that has diminished her to non-personhood is framed through foodways.…”

La nuit américaine dans Noir de Robert Coover by Marc Amfreville

“…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).…”

Nordic Noir from Within and Beyond by Hansen Kim Toft

“…The three largest contemporary commercial players on the Nordic market – Viaplay, HBO, and Netflix – have been able to, in very different ways, tap into the ideology of banal Nordism and the geopolitical unity of the Nordic region, and they have done so by producing and acquiring content that has deep associations with one of the Nordic region's main international brands: Scandinavian crime fiction and Nordic Noir.…”

Les images animées au Musée de l'Homme ou la rencontre de deux mondes (1930-1950) by Alice Gallois

“…The changing attitude of the museum about the role they assigned to cinema between the 1930s and the 1950s accounts for how ambivalent the scientific community is when considering a medium which is usually devoted to fiction – in art or entertainment – while it could be of great help in studying and conveying intangible heritage.…”

Apocalypse and Sensibility: The Role of Sympathy in Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth by André Cabral de Almeida Cardoso

“…The cause for world-wide disaster, a deadly disease, is a traditional element of dystopian fiction. What is more unusual about Sweet Tooth is that its protagonist seems particularly ill-suited to face the challenges that confront him in a violent post-apocalyptic world, either because he is too sensitive or because he is too vulnerable. …”

L’Art de voler et L’Aile brisée, d’Antonio Altarriba et Kim, sont-ils des récits mémoriels historiques en bande dessinée ? by Isabelle Delorme

“…To do so, he uses family sources as well as his father's oral testimony and uses photography to attest to the truthfulness of his statements, practices characteristic of authors of historical graphic memoirs. However, the use of fiction in passages raises questions as to whether these two albums belong to the genre.…”

When the Novel Meets the Bible. The Flood in Four Contemporary British Novels by Ewa Rychter

“…Cet angle d’approche nous amène (1) à caractériser la relation entre la fiction moderne et la Bible, (2) à projeter un éclairage nouveau sur la passion dans le récit du déluge, et (3) à montrer comment ces éléments détruisent le postulat de Derrida quant à la symétrie sécularisée entre les Ecritures et la littérature.…”

Flaubert libre lecteur. À propos de l’Abrégé du catéchisme de persévérance de l’abbé Gaume by Stéphanie Dord-Crouslé

“…What happens to them once they are inserted into fiction? Preserved in the files of the public library in Rouen (ms g 226 (6) f° 227 to 229), the notes that the novelist took from the abridged version of a catechism by the abbé Gaume are particularly revealing: their analysis brings to light various mechanisms at work in his practice of primary documentation as well as in the secondary writing process of the novel (in fact here chapter IX of Bouvard and Pécuchet). …”

Le promeneur londonien au xixe siècle : une excursion dans l’obscur by Max Duperray

“…From Charles Lamb and De Quincey to Arthur Machen and even (a little later) Virginia Woolf, among others, the figure of the invisible bohemian recalls Baudelaire’s flâneur and the fictional character writing fiction. The city is « textualised » and the Peripatetic novelist torn between alienation and contamination becomes the origin of the Sublime, as signs prevail over their referent. …”
