Recrystallization of Commercial Carbamazepine Samples—A Strategy to Control Dissolution Variability
Authors: Flicker Felicia , Eberle Veronika A. , Betz Gabriele
Published: January 2012

Physical properties of commercial carbamazepine (CBZ) samples can significantly influence drug release and thereby jeopardize bioequivalence of the final dosage form. The aim of this study was to reduce variability in commercial CBZ samples by recrystallization. CBZ samples of four different suppliers were recrystallized in ethanol solution containing 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). CBZ samples were analyzed by disk intrinsic dissolution rate (DIDR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Recrystallized CBZ samples showed strongly reduced variability in DIDR compared to the untreated CBZ samples. Moreover, transformation process to CBZ dihydrate was inhibited; no dihydrate crystals were visible on compact surfaces after 8 h intrinsic dissolution measurement. Recrystallized CBZ samples showed no change in polymorphic form, however, particle size and shape was inhomogenous. In binary mixtures with microcrystalline cellulose, recrystallized CBZ samples again showed difference in drug release. This difference was associated with the inhomogenous particle size in the recrystallized CBZ samples. The results show that a controlled grinding step is required after recrystallization. We suggest the recrystallization in presence of 1% PVP followed by a controlled grinding step as a strategy to reduce dissolution variability in commercial CBZ samples.
Un minutieux tourbillon. (Note sur Arno Schmidt)
Authors: Mouchard Claude
Published: January 2012

Schmidt's «precocious» narratives (the only ones translated into French) are more than novelties: their exceptional power stems from an internal energy that transports, in an instant, library, knowledge, bodies and objects. To reconstruct the immediacy of sense-data, the author creates his own personal language, making each work an autonomous, humorous whirlwind.
La subjectivité du biographe
Authors: Hildesheimer Wolfgang
Published: January 2012

« The Biographer's subjectivity »

The title was first : « Biographer in so far as autobiographer », with the purpose of detecting the mystery of creativity ; but it is impossible without analysis, that is to say that the identification may be under control. The knowledge of psychoanalysis well shows how basically and intimately the creator's properties are interdependant, how the positive and the negative are mutually made. So, it's necessary to study a thorough one writer into his incomprehensible and disturbing feats, as symptoms in the states of production ; and then, a case history of « pathology » in connection with exceptionally gifted authors is possible. The creation power can be visible especially by the displacements, compensations, deliveries, acting out, or even the queerest ways.
L'emblème et le corps. Anatomie d'un paysage : Sponde
Authors: Mathieu-Castellani Gisèle
Published: January 2012

When the emblematic mode of composition is used in lyric Poetry as a système of representation (an image and its commentary), does its topical importance outweight the word, transforming discourse into a mere echo of the doxa ? A commentary on several of Jean de Sponde's sonnets shows that, through emblematic representation, the mimetic object is transformed into a metaphor for an invisible reality. This does not, however, inhibit the emergence of networks of meaning that go beyond the significance of the image itself, emphasizing the « discordance » of the subject.
Programmer l'invisible
Authors: Couchot Edmond
Published: January 2012

In prehistoric times, Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, images entertained a fluctuating relationship with the visible and the invisible, cloaking them with different meanings (from sacred truths to rational ones). By reattributing the values of the seen and the unseen, computerised representations profoundly transform the symbolic management of images. Often of a hyper-realistic nature that refers to other types of automatic figuration (photography, cinema, television), these digit alised images have a different relationship with the invisible. Their function is not to represent reality but to simulate it, by programming its underlying laws.
Dédicataire maternel et création
Authors: Harel Simon
Published: January 2012

The question of the body image pervades Michel Leiris' work, and its underlying narcissistic

elaboration often favors themes of confession or unmasking. In this respect, Le ruban au cou d'Olympia renders the pertinence of reparative activity (in a kleinian sense) ; a practice which associates the destruction and provisory configuration of a maternal dedicatory figure. In Le ruban au cou d'Olympia, corporeal fusion with the mother reveals an anxiety of nudity which must be immediately veiled through writing. Thus the novel's creation could be compared to the formation of a psychic container : maternal fusion, testifying to a fear of incest, where words might become so many affects laying bare the disquieting encounter with feminity.
Les Carnets de travail de Flaubert : taxinomie d'un outillage littéraire
Authors: de Biasi Pierre-Marc
Published: January 2012

There was a need to classify Flaubert's notebooks and this recent edition of the « Carnets de travail » proposes such a classification : notebooks for projects, notebooks for ideas, notebooks for scientific investigation and erudition. The material itself and its function are closely connected and thus critical taxonomy and generic classification must be considered together.
Carnets de romanciers (Flaubert, Zola, James)
Authors: Neefs Jacques
Published: January 2012

The Notebooks of these three major novelists have recently been publisched. They show the way in which these writers conceive their respective fictional worlds, as well as providing an insight into the nature of narrative prose. In the notebooks each writer is already inventing stories, characters and situations even as he observes the world or makes notes on a particular subject. Each of these writers uses his notebook in a different way, but the way in which each uses it gives us considerable insight into the workings of the mimetic imagination.
Des notes, longues et suivies (à propos des Carnets de Coleridge)
Authors: Frye Northrop
Published: January 2012

Writing about the first selected edition of Coleridge's Notebooks by Mrs Coburn, Nortbrop-Frye obseves that this type of edition imposes on the prose a form not present in Coleridge's writings. Reading these « bits and pieces » precisely as such, it becomes possible to understand the real force, ingenuity and originality of Coleridge's manner of writing.
La question de l'auteur dans les sciences modernes
Authors: Stengers Isabelle
Published: January 2012

About author in modern sciences.

Sciences induce Literature and singularly the validity of this scientific literature is linked to the question of « author ». Beyond words like objectivity and method stands out this question : may we say that « nature » can operate in men's arguments? Up to what point does this intervention go? What is then the status of the one who represents, speaks for nature? To all answers given correspond distinctive literatures, some of which are still to come.
Entre science et littérature
Authors: Cahn Michael
Published: January 2012

Between literature and science.

The two realms of literature and science have variously provoked attempts to distinguish and differentiate them. This essay argues that both should be studied as related modes of producing meaning. Rather than using the history of science as auxiliary science for the better interpreting of the literary text, it suggests that figures of thought, that are often characteristic of single sciences, offer a privileged object for the study of the inter-relationship of both realms.
"Pour clore nostre conte" : la comptabilité de Montaigne
Authors: Desan Philippe
Published: January 2012

Montaigne's book-keeping.

We can't tell Montaigne was directly influenced by book-keeping writers as Benedetto Cotrugli, Jean Ympyn ou Pierre de Savonne. However we can find some analogies between double-entry book-keeping as developed at the end of Renaissance and Montaigne open form of essay. For instance in the Essais lays the idea of current account. Montaigne keeps records of credits and debits in one same page trying to keep the balance. The chapter « Des noms », is a good example.
Jeu du double ou double jeu : les Peintures de Victor Segalen
Authors: Formentelli Éliane
Published: January 2012

The painter and the painting meet in Peintures with the feminine figure. Peintures has a new liberated form, essentially concerned

with attitude and directing in writing. This work verbally stands by itself. The reader, verbally seduced by the talk of the poem, becomes a spectator. Poetry makes him enter in a visionary space, where differences between image and imagination, writing and painting, visible and words melt. This way, Segalen, on the quiet, delegates the power of the Chinese painting to bare poetry.
La politique de l'individualisme
Authors: Pachet Pierre
Published: January 2012

Naipaul's vindication of the individual's specificity seems to separate literature and politics. But commitment to the individual' s value requires some solidarity (as in Western politics) : in Naipaul's work, individuality springs from opposition to colonial society, mired in ideology or its own past. The individualist' s gaze, however, never fully penetrates the enigma of (others' ) individuality.
Pour une rhétorique de l'effet : La Fontaine et Le pouvoir des fables
Authors: Méchoulan Éric
Published: January 2012

Through an analysis of this fable in terms of the relation betmen the Power of effects and the effects of power, the study discusses literary seduction, whose power derives from a performative mode of functioning, and a lack of legitimacy or of claim to knowledge. This enables literature to question discourses that rely on force or claim competence.
Que les signes sont des actes, selon Kenneth Burke
Authors: Meschonnic Henri
Published: January 2012

This study situates Burke for a French public in the American context of his work and of his readership. In his analysis, Burke' s « treating of art as an act » shows that his social thought grounds his theory of literature and language : rhetoric dominates aesthetics. Burke' s politics are an ethics and a poetics, as his early debunking of Mein Kampf or his relationship to marxism show. Anti-essentialist and pragmatist, Burke is a « major marginal figure ».
Les voix du peuple
Authors: Saint-Germain Pierre
Published: January 2012

The voices of the people.

This study traces the emergence in Sand's work, following her meeting with Pierre Leroux in 1835, of the problematics of the proletariat as subject or hero, as author (through Sand's defense of and friendship with worker-poets), as audience and as political agent. Sand doesn't solve « la question sociale » but explores in fiction modalities of access to « voices of our own » for the people.
Dans la caverne de Platon. Heidegger, Derrida
Authors: Hobson Marian
Published: January 2012

Heidegger in Platons Lehre von der Wahrheit and Derrida through an essay on Mallarmé, La double séance, have pursued the unsaid in Plato's myth of the cave. But the unsaid takes different shapes in Plato, through its shape in Derrida or Heidegger. Heidegger pinpoints an unexplicit change in the notion of truth, an unsaid he does not say but remembers in its consequences for Western metaphysics ; Derrida develops irony without transcending it through a hidden meaning.
La marqueterie phénoménale
Authors: Guillerm Jean-Pierre
Published: January 2012

Although emblems seem to require scholarly interpretation, the wide European diffusion of illustrated books of emblems points to the existence of a less specialised audience. This study of several anthologies uses insights from the reception theory of modern writers such as Joyce or Eco to construct a model of the reader of emblems gathered in books. Such a reader, by definition partially fore-closed from the text, derives pleasure from the appropriation of cultural signs appreciated for their ornamental value.
L'image merveille. Figurer et dire selon le Cavalier Marin
Authors: Graziani Françoise
Published: January 2012

Giambattista Marino's few prose writings are enco- miums of art as well as reflexions on the notion of image. Marino explores the link between the arts and the sacred through the emblem of the Sindon of Christ. The images art creates are sacred because they hide what they say so as to say it, so that the force of revelation they carry is similar to the force of revelation carried by the miracle. Metaphor is not a mere trope, but a conceptual tool of revelation : its maraviglia is of the same order as the miracle.

Le rat et l'escargot. Textanalyse de l'Escargot entêté de Rachid Boudjedra
Authors: Hartmann Pierre
Published: January 2012

L'escargot entêté is the first person narrative of a neurotic « rat-man »'s regression into madness. The narrator's private neurosis dovetails with his job as rat-exterminator in post-revolutionary Algeria s bureaucracy : the discourse of neurosis is the means to the political fable. The novel is thus exemplary of a second generation of Algerian novels, where the political and the individual are symbiotically meshed rather than opposed.
Le contre-texte
Authors: Glaudes Pierre
Published: January 2012

The "Counter-text" designates rather than the critic's counter-transference, the text of interpretation that results ; that concept permits to elaborate a psychoanalytic theory of psychoanalytic criticism which includes the author and which ultimately enhances the reader's pleasure in the text.

Poème : la leçon du tombeau
Authors: Doumet Christian
Published: January 2012

Victor Segalen, in transposing material from the earlier Briques et tuiles to Stèles (Tombstones), condensed an essentially narrative form into poetry. A close reading and comparison of « Treize tombeaux » and « Edit funéraire » shows that the rewriting of this confrontation of the « narrator-hero » with his own death supposes on the part of the author a confrontation of the link between poetry and death — which epitaphs exemplify.
Proses de poètes
Authors: Mouchard Claude
Published: January 2012

Of these four texts only Strand's deals with the relationship between prose and verse. However all question the relationship of poetry to the world, while they consider language — the prose of the world — to be part of reality. Furthermore, these texts are translations, and remind us that the question of translatibility arises at the same time as that of the relationship between poetry and prose. Wallace Stevens ' ' « An Academic Piece » considers that poetry articulates the network of relationships which « is » reality for us. Gunter Eich with « The Writer Confronted with Reality » considers poetry — and prose — essential in defining reality. Andrea Zanzollo s « Life of a Diary » imagines the diary of a diary reading itself. And an «Interview» of Mark Strand by Linda Orr, with fragments of prose or poetry, shows him use both in his work — if it is the desire for poetry that eggs him on.
Causer, conter. Stratégies du dialogue et du roman
Authors: Kibédi Varga Áron
Published: January 2012

Literature — a verbal representation of action as well as speech — blurs the distinction between action and speech or simplifies the pragmatics of conversation, as the minor genre of the dialogue, and the novel, show. The dialogue, an older genre, becomes increasingly ridden with narrative and taken over by the novel, whose attitudes towards conversation fall into three main categories.
Diaphonie et interaction dans le débat politique

This study of a French March 1993 televised political debate analyses the

modalities of speech distribution — - theoretically, all participants have an equal amount of time — first in terms of classic concepts, then in terms of diaphony, a concept which designates the strategies by which an interlocutor takes a locutofs discourse into account in his own discourse (and vice-versa).

Un art de dire désinvolte
Authors: Wald-Lasowski Roman
Published: January 2012

Libertine literature — exemplified by Crébillon 's novels — consists of dialogue barely anchored in time and space through « small details », actually part of the dialogue's economy of exchange. Verbal exchange, characteristic of an XVIIIth century literary social imaginary, is in homology with sexual exchange-implying paradoxes between intimacy and sociability. An art of distracted dialogue and eroticism results.
Les lois naturelles de la littérature
Authors: Novikov Vladimir
Published: January 2012

Tynianov's theory of literature is based on the dichotomy between material and principle of construction. Material is exterior, construction internal ; the enunciation of ten basic laws shows that both the dynamic arid the defining principle of literature are construction — which can use other principles of construction as material.

Fiction interactive et modernité
Authors: Clément Jean
Published: January 2012

Interactive fiction and modernity.

Classical linear fiction directs narrative to a single final aim. Earlier attempts to write the reader into the fiction were foiled by the medium. Combinatorial works either support irratio- nalism or lack any serious purpose. The responsive technology of stand-alone hypertext, offering a degree of interaction with a set of fragments to be shaped into unending experiences, seems designed to support post-modern deconstructionism. Cooperative writing on networks may yet through the live exchange of thoughts and fancies lead to a new literary humanism.
Un roman inachevé — Dispositifs
Authors: Balpe Jean-Pierre
Published: January 2012

An endless novel — Dispositifs

Literature is usually considered to be a frac-

tal work on language and text, all details being taken charge of and directed towards achieving the unique aim of translating the writer's intentions. That ideological point of view on literature is upset when the text is being written by an automatic generator. In which case there is no fractal point of view but on the contrary something like a chaotic one. To illustrate this statement, the article opens on an extract from an automatically generated Endless Novel.
La recherche plein texte. L'utilisation du CD-Rom de base de données textuelles DISCOTEX 1
Authors: de Biasi Pierre-Marc
Published: January 2012

Textual research : using the discotext 1 CD-Rom textual data base.

The CD-rom DISCOTEXT 1, published by CNRS / Hachette, combines a data- base of 300 literary works with a amputer program for its analysis. The total

corpus consists of a representative selection of the French literary production between 1827 and 1923, resulting in 42 millions word- occurrences which DISCOTEXT 1 's program enables to explore in an original way. The user has access to a large number of criteria and tools to define his topic and corpus, and can use two to three parameters in his search for occurrences or co-occurrences. The program enables the user to accomplish in a few minutes and with no risk of error textual investigations which would require months of work using a traditional method (trad. : Géraldine Dériès).

Great escapes. Writing and reading strategies in late medieval litterature.

If traditions of complaining of copyists and their changes (Chrétien de Troyes), and even of «annotated» copying (Gui de Mori 's Roman de la Rose,) exist in medieval literature, yet various authors — Froissart, Régnier, and especially Villon — seem to have programmed the very mobility of subsequent copies, thus appropriating their own « great escapes ».

Between muffled lamp and black light. Of style in criticism.

If Barthes convinced us that literature can be found in modern literary criticism — although Benjamin Crémieux gave the idea first expression — what then is the style of this genre ? Dependant, as is any style, on a recognition ulterior to its existence, nevertheless critical textuality signals itself as a form : an indirect retranscription of an indirect listening-whose limit is the psychoanalytic relation.

The Sliding of Languages and the Poetics of the Novel.

The classic theory of literature by a minority in a dominant language sees its insecure practitioners constitute the latter as a « superconscience ». Yet, as three recent American francophone novels show, contemporary strategies exploit passages within a language, and from language to language, transcending or infirming this theory toward Bakhtin's plurilingualism.

Linguistic Adventure, a constant of Belgian Literature : the case of Jean-Pierre Verheggen.

Linguistic insecurity, as given for Belgian writers, produces, during a centri- petic period such as 1918-1960, neo-classicism and linguistic inventory (Le Bon usage), or « overwriting » (Michaux). But Verheggen's work since I960 — in Pubères, putains or Stabat Mater — shows a quest for a carnavalesque, inclusive and analogical language.

Jules Michelet : National History, Biography, Autobiography.

If it is not difficult to pinpoint in the work of historians — Burckhart, for one — the echoes of a personal life, nevertheless Michelet is striking in his invention of the individual nation as subject of history, and in his consequent vindication of a personal, affective and quasi-erotic stake — both biographical and autobiographical — in this history.

On Aurevilly's Satanism : The She-Devil, Its Priest, Venerers, and Butchers

Barbey d'Aurevilly's return to his origins is well attested by The She-Devil (L'Ensorcelée, 1852) and Dessous de cartes. Yet, just as their heroes combine dandyism and ugliness, the return to old values expresses itself in their negativisation : hunters veer to butchery while the priest's vocation seems to demonism.
L'homme divisé
Authors: Laroche Hughes
Published: January 2012

The Divided Man

Jules Renard's work is seen as a purification of style from image-renouncing

poetry (1886), the short story (1888), the novel (1892), and perhaps, as in the collection of brief notes and dialogues published in 1908 as Ragotte, literature. But in as much as Ragotte — and the Journal — are caught between transparency and imagery, they create a distance which, inevitably, is literary.

Not that that is surprising.

Poetry's position is small, and its wars over. Within this context, a number of debates, which still turn on poetry's definition — and, in fact, situation, not only in literature, but also ultimately, within — and without — "cultural consumption", both contemporary (new media) and generally.

Initials of the Unnamable : A Reading of Andersen (O.T.) — and a Few Remarks Concerning Balzac (Z), Hawthorne (A), Kafka (K), Perec (W)

The modern « unnamable » is often associated with or explored through a problematics of identity itself reflected with proper names and their paradoxes. In 19th century texts, play with proper names has its own purposes — but prefigures modern concerns.
L'art de l'ambiguïté
Authors: Bouyer Sylvain
Published: January 2012

The Art of Ambiguity

The word ambiguity is at present everywhere, usually laudatory, usually aimed for — in as much as aiming at ambiguity is not too unequivocal. This generalised taste for the absence of decidable meaning reminds us that choice, even if or rather especially if it must be made outside meaning, is still the mark of freedom.
La poésie lyrique grecque, un genre inexistant ?
Authors: Calame Claude
Published: January 2012

Lyric Greek Poetry : An Imaginary Genre ?

There is no evidence for a « lyric » genre in Antiquity, but for, opposed to diegetic (epic) and mimetic (tragic) poetry, a genre « sung to music » which also has the common denominator of ritual production — which links the tragic into the category... Our genres are not Greek genres.
Ekphrasis de mon cœur, ou l'argumentation par la description pathétique
Authors: Le Bozec Yves
Published: January 2012

Ekphrasis of My Heart : or Argumentation Through Pathetic Description

Etymologically, ekphrasis can be understood as « a description that goes all the way ». Analyses of its nature abound ; but has the way it pervades contemporary modern culture been noted ? It signals a culture which pre- fers Pathetic description to fact and rationality.
Excentricités ? La littérature vue du Québec
Authors: Audet René , Saint-Jacques Denis , Cantin Annie
Published: January 2012

Excentricities ? « literature », Seen from Quebec.

Particularity as the core of the development of literature in French Canada is now well documented. But the situation of literature in Quebec, and its analysis, can also refresh and relocate both French literature and its study.
Portrait des Meidosems
Authors: Mathieu Jean-Claude
Published: January 2012

"Meidosems".

The series of prose texts and lithographs which draw the portrait of the Meidosems (often reproduced independently) within "La Vie dans les plis" (1948) actually mark the beginning of a mourning process until then foreclosed. Michaux' s wife died early in 1948.
Poèmes et prose : quelques réécritures
Authors: Metzger Vincent
Published: January 2012

Poems and Prose: Rewritings.

Michaum's works place his poems in quasi-marginal positions. Yet relations, often hidden by editorial history, exist between poems and prose: commentary, rewriting and pedagogical explication, nowhere more clearly than in "Ecuador".
Un œil à l'écoute : l'univers sonore d'Italo Calvino
Authors: Lefebvre Frédéric
Published: January 2012

A Listening Eye: Italo Calvino's universe as Sound.

Calvino' s literary creation, except inasmuch as "Under the Jaguar Sun", on the five senses, lacks stories on sight and touch, seems all eye. Unless, as a re-reading of Calvino's work through the auditory prism of "A King All Ears" in that same work shows, such a perception is that of a hurried reader — who needs to take the time to hear Calvino's eye as a listening one.
Deux ou trois choses que l'on sait de lui
Authors: Perrone-Moisès Leyla
Published: January 2012

Two or Three Things We Know About Him.

In 1977, Jacques Lefrere found an Iliad in Spanish which contained a statement of ownership by Isidore Ducasse, Count of Lautréamont, which reveals possession of another book. Its analysis, combined with a remarkable synthesis of the criticism, provides great insight in locating the work — and the author, to some degree.
L'esclave et le paralytique : Atar-Gull d'Eugène Sue
Authors: Mitterand Henri
Published: January 2012

The Slave and the Paralytic: Eugène Sue's "Atar-Gull".

Sue uses the figures and conventions of novelistic and romantic pathos with distance to criticise colonial slavery. "Atar-Gull" avenges his father, put to death by the slave-owner Wil, by wiling his way into his goodwill, then wreicking havoc and telling him the story when he has become mute and paralysed.
Elle a l'ouïe si fine...

"She Has Such Keen Hearing..."

"The Use of Speech" seems written by a seeing ear, tracking the dramas at play in missing words, extra words, transposed words, or their correct use...
L'insupportable
Authors: Asso Fançoise
Published: January 2012

The Insufferable.

Sarraute's work is carried by suffering about and of the intolerable in the other — that it should be, that it should be fantasy, and that knowing the latter does little about the former.
Le Michelet de Roland Barthes
Authors: Petitier Paule
Published: January 2012

Roland Barthes' "Michelet".

Barthes first concentrated on Michelet as a writing body. In his 1973 lecture, appreciating his attention to carnality as having led to the "Annales" school, but still did not assess his work as history. Given the specularity of Barthes' relation to Michelet, this opens paths of reflection — in Michelet, and in Barthes.
L'époque de la poésie
Authors: Beck Philippe
Published: January 2012

The Contemporary Conflict

Seneca observed that many poets said what philosophers had already said or should have said. Poetry fills in for philosophy, in fact if not by right, necessarily so if one is to know and let know. The contemporary articulation of the relationship, given the historicity of the poetic act, is poetry's role in making philosophy consider the historicity of the concept, in other words be philosophy.
« Réserver la traduction », De Kant à Rimbaud
Authors: Dayre Éric
Published: January 2012

"To Reserve Translation": From Kant to Rimbaud

The irreflexive, rapid, immediate act of poetry, constitutes by this act a reserve of language for translation and history, because the very immediacy of poetry preserves it from historicity and oblivion. This definition, which applies to romantic poetry, shows the genre to enact dialectical materialism in Benjamin's sense - and thus to be the allegory of philosophy.
La présence de l'anglais dans les poèmes de Rimbaud
Authors: Arouimi Michel
Published: January 2012

The Impact of English in Rimbaud's Poems

Studies of Rimbaud's use of English terms tend to concentrate on their meaning, rather than on the immediate linguistic and thematic contexts in which they appear. Such a study reveals analogies configured around the notion of voyance, the diabolism of the arts, the expression of conflict, and the problem of the relation between singularity or unity and plurality.
Mallarmé, l'anglais à la lettre
Authors: Madou Jean-Pol
Published: January 2012

Mallarmé: the Letter of English

With "Les Dieux antiques" and "Les Mots anglais", Mallarmé opposes decaying myth to linguistic vitality, a vitality one of whose sources is in the rejuvenating hymen of Latin and Germanic languages represented by the advent of English from French and Germanic dialects. The letter "s" silenced in Old French and revitalised in the new language symbolises the process and its meaning.

Phantasia & Phantasma. Ancient Texts and New Images

The categories developed by Aristotle to think representation can be used to develop a theory of the images made possible by contemporary technology, in particular photographic images and digital images.
Nom et tressage : L'Acacia de Claude Simon
Authors: Brown Llewellyn
Published: January 2012

Name and Braiding: Claude Simon's "The Acacia".

The novel's numerous autobiographical elements make its being written as a third-person narrative striking; the choice underscores the novel's dynamic between dispossession and fictional deployment, whose meaning is ultimately that of an (autobiographical) poetics of pursuit of the father's life and early death.
Fiction et abstraction
Authors: Samoyault Thiphaine
Published: January 2012

Fiction and Abstraction

Fiction is best taken pragmatically; nonetheless a formal trait, intertextuality, sign of an authorial choice of literary model, often gives it away. In any case, fiction moves, like the other arts, towards abstraction; but concrete values such as duration, possibilities, amplification stay proper to stories — which implies dynamic typologies if any.
Le roman pictural d'Albertine
Authors: Bertho Sophie
Published: January 2012

Albertine's Pictorial Romance

Painting in "Remembrance of Times Past" either transcends existence, or remains glued to its own materiality, often showing up different characters' "iconolatry"; but paintings are also systematically used to further the novelist's intentions, as the five paintings that accompany the Narrator's passion for Albertine show clearly.
L'autonomisation de la littérature (1760-1860)
Authors: Diaz José-Luis
Published: January 2012

The Autonomisation of Literature (1760-1860)

The process whereby literature became autonomous has been neglected in the sense that it emerges, as process, between 1760 and 1860, and that particular emphasis needs to be put on the confused period of the first half of the 19th century. This because, by modernism, this autonomy is, as it were, already ours.
Albert Thibaudet : la dynamique du mémorable
Authors: Pradeau Christophe
Published: January 2012

Albert Thibaudet: The Dynamics of the Memorable

Thibaudet's approach to literary history was suffused with the classical conceit linking value to duration, a conceit he brought to the difficult task of linking the literature of his time to literary history, through a dynamic and therefore potentially projective apprehension of the memorable.
L'histoire littéraire selon J.-L. Borges
Authors: Perrone-Moisès Leyla
Published: January 2012

Literary History According to J.L.Borges

Borges taught English literature in 1957 in Buenos Aires, and his course allows us to better understand his relationship to literature - that of a hedonistic reader with a phenomenal memory - as well as reconsider the manner

in which Borges was understood in the 1960s, a slice of (critical) literary

history.

Bards of the Obscure. Reflexions on the Logos of Aesthetics According to Jacques Garelli

Jacques Garelli' s work as philosopher and poet concerns what, before reflection and reflexivity, nonetheless leads to language, action, and being ; a dimension of humanity whose existence the work of art manifests at the same time as it preserves it. (355)
Présentation : retour sur la notion d'œuvre
Authors: Jenny Laurent

The State of the Concept of Literary Work

Literary criticism in the past forty years has privileged the idea of text over literary work, in the name of openness or limitlessness; yet these concepts are in fact inseparable from that of the work.
Le présent illimité
Authors: Samoyault Thiphaine
Published: January 2012

Limitless Present

Contemporary works are unfinished, which points to a first link between "the work" and memory continuity; furthermore, some contemporary forms link continuity and limitlessness to redraw their relation to the present.
Figures d'épreuves, Proust et la chirurgie
Authors: Watroba Maria
Published: January 2012

Testing Figures: Proust and Surgery

"Remembrance of Things" Past is scattered with analogies from surgery, often linked to experiences with no immediate relationship to it except inasmuch as they relate, by their very intensity, to what cannot be withstood, or represented. These comparisons, furthermore, are often as not distorted or subtly impossible, which enacts a reflection upon surgery itself, ultimately a key to writing as the surgery of an artist both operating and operated on.
La Cuisine de Georges Perec
Authors: Jullien Dominique
Published: January 2012

Cooking and Georges Perec

Beyond the importance of food and eating in Perec's works, appears an analogy, between the art of cooking and that of writing, which owes much to Proust — not so much to the edibility of Proust's work, which has to do with the melding together af many ingredients whereas Perec's work is about lists and separate elements, as to the figure of the artist as ascetic, even anorexic, cook.
La pensée du sommeil dans À la Recherche du temps perdu
Authors: Yu Cécile
Published: January 2012

The Rustle of Sleep in "Remembrance of Times Past"

The narrator in "Remembrance" both lives his sleeping and observes it, in a perpetually intermediary space between sleep and wakefulness, past and present, where he looks at himself asleep but also at the way he used to look at himself asleep; he thus describes states which, like the carafes in the water of the Vivonne, have some of each other' s properties but are not — quite — alike.
Perec : une poétique de la photographie
Authors: Reggiani Christelle
Published: January 2012

Perec: A Poetics of Photography

Photography and photographs are extremely and willfully present in Perec's works — and treated with suspicion and disdain. Photographs, whether taken by Perec, commented or written "around" by him, or either real or fictitious points of departure for his narratives, dovetail with his writing proper, based on uncertainty and incompleteness, because of their fundamentally truncated nature.
