“It is a bloody crime : the things we’re doing to Shakespeare” : Anthony Burgess, Enderby et Shakespeare travesti
Authors: Haffen Aude
Published: August 2023

In his tetralogy Enderby (1959-1984), Anthony Burgess dwells on a comic topos of contemporary British fiction : a typical representative of high culture is unwillingly evicted from his literary ivory tower and finds himself swallowed up in the storm of the cultural industry. Pop music, women’s magazines, Hollywood’s show biz and American culture as a whole become Burgess’s (anti)hero’s threatening Nemesis : lured, looted, exploited, alienated, shamefully prostituting his talent while protesting his inalienable artistic purity and inveighing against contemporary decadence, Enderby embodies the anti-modern, post-romantic/high-modernist resistance to mass culture’s retrieval, recycling and re-appropriation of the Western canon. In the fourth volume of the tetralogy, Enderby’s Dark Lady, the hero is lured into participating in the elaboration of an American musical based on the life of Shakespeare. Through a series of mise-en-abyme effects and chain identifications between Burgess, Enderby and Shakespeare, the dialogic interplay between contemporary popular culture and Elizabethan theatre has more to offer than mere burlesque counterpoints, as the latter breaks the shell of cultural/ academic canonisation to return to its original entertaining, popular nature.
Culture savante et culture populaire dans les romans de Nathaniel Hawthorne
Authors: Lorrain Stéphanie
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this paper is to understand how popular culture and scholarly culture are perceived by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) and how they are linked in three of his novels, The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851) et The Blithedale Romance (1852). This point is especially relevant since in the 19th-century American society was undergoing major social and economic changes aimed at forging a political as well as a cultural identity for the United States. This cultural quest created a popular culture, typical of the United States, and much different from the European popular culture. For instance, specific literary characters appeared at that time in American novels, thus taking part in the development of America’s cultural identity.
What’s the point of that double genitive of yours ?
Authors: Higgs Lyndon
Published: August 2023

One structure of English which has received little attention is the so-called double genitive, an example of which is a friend of Tom’s. Generally, grammars of English say little when describing its specificity, typically pointing out that a similar structure, one of Tom’s friends, implies an obligatory partitive interpretation (i.e. Tom must have more than one friend), which is not necessarily the case for the double genitive.

This article aims to review and expand upon some hypotheses that attempt to explain the various subcategories of the double genitive, as well as giving the results of a small-scale native speaker study on the acceptability of certain double genitive forms. The results of this study will support my hypothesis that the indefinite double genitive cannot be used when the possessum belongs to a well-defined, closed and discourse-relevant class of elements.
The circle, the line and the dot : rhythm in the boat-stealing episode from Wordsworth’s “The Prelude”
Authors: Kostantzer Stephane Christian
Published: August 2023

Using a semantic and cognitive approach, I shall try to demonstrate that the boat-stealing episode from Wordsworth’s “The Prelude” is punctuated by an original form of rhythm generated by the recurrence of three fundamentally geometric motifs : the circle, the line and the dot. While I will be examining these motifs in their many possible extensions, focussing on the complex ways in which they are made to interact in the text, I will try to assert the existence of an effect of concatenation. From this effect emerges a geometric rhythm that gives new spatial extensions to the poet’s descriptions as it infiltrates and reshapes the reader’s representations. In many respects, the rhythmic quality of this extract seems to be based on geometry rather than sounds. Cognitive by nature – instead of prosodic – this rhythm plays simultaneously on different aspects (spatial, temporal, visual, auditory, physical, psychological), and even, sometimes, on different enunciative planes.
Perception of synthesised high back vocoids : effect of the lip configuration and of the tongue position on French-speaking and Japanese-speaking listeners
Authors: Kamiyama Takeki
Published: August 2023

Le /u/ japonais est produit avec une constriction plus antérieure de la langue et les lèvres moins fermées que le /u/ français. Une telle configuration articulatoire résulte en des Fl et F2 plus élevés (F2 > 1000 Hz) que le /u/ français. Des variations de la position de la langue et des lèvres ont été simulées en utilisant VTCalc (Maeda, 1982). Un test d’identification perceptif a été réalisé en utilisant ces vocoïdes synthétisés auprès de 16 auditeurs francophones et 16 auditeurs japonophones. Les résultats montrent que la position postérieure de la langue et un degré élevé de labialité sont essentiels pour que les auditeurs francophones perçoivent le /u/ français, alors que les japonophones perçoivent le /u/ japonais dans des zones où les francophones identifient /u/ et /o/. Ces résultats suggèrent que les japonophones apprenant le français tendent à percevoir les lui et l&l français comme une voyelle de la même catégorie (qui correspond au /u/ japonais) et ont ainsi des difficultés à les distinguer en perception et en production.
Chutnification : the recycling of canonical texts in the Indian English novel
Authors: Ganapathy-Doré Geetha
Published: August 2023

Drawing from Bakhtin’s idea of dialogism, Julia Kristeva interpreted writing as a paragrammatic practice that incorporates reading. Using the concepts of genotext, phenotext and intertext that she put forth, this article studies the ways in which canonical texts, either religious or secular, from both the West (The Bible, Canterbury Tales, Shakespeare) and the East (The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The Koran, The Arabian Nights, The Kama Sutra, The Pancha Tantra, the Jataka tales, The Katha Sarit Sagara, The Akbar Nama) are mixed with contemporary sources to produce the hybrid postcolonial variety of the Indian English Novel. It examines who among the Indian writers of English use this strategy of chutnification, at what precise moment in history, how and why they do so, and what the implications are for literary theory.
Memory, nostalgia and identity in narratives of India’s Partition
Authors: Prakash Bodh
Published: August 2023

The Partition of India in 1947 resulted in the displacement of millions of people from both sides of the newly created border. This article explores the reconstruction of identities in the aftermath of Partition. The unexpectedness of the tragedy, the sudden uprooting of people from the secure environs of their homes and the alien land in which they found themselves, led many to withdraw into themselves. The memory of the past, nostalgia and a feeling of disconnection with the present resulted in a conflicted sense of identity. However writers also employed the memory of the pre-Partition past to suggest alternative imaginings for a society divided along religious lines.
Canadian popular classics : Recycling Homer’s Odyssey in novels by Frederick Philip Grove, Robert Kroetsch and Margaret Atwood
Authors: Keller Wolfram R.
Published: August 2023

L’objet de la présente étude est l’analyse de la réception – souvent sous-estimée – des classiques, et de l'Odyssée d’Homère en particulier, dans les ouvrages de trois romans canadiens : Over Prairie Trails (1922) et A Search for America (1927) de Frederick Philip Grove, The Studhorse Man (1969) de Robert Kroetsch, ainsi que The Penelopiad (2005) de Margaret Atwood. Le dialogue avec les classiques que présentent ces textes semble suivre une trajectoire que Walter Pache a déjà mise en évidence dans la poésie canadienne et qui va de l’imitation à la parodie en passant par la citation. Cet essai a pour but de montrer que les romans en question présentent une réflexion métafictionnelle sur les potentialités et les dangers inhérents à la récupération des classiques et le difficile équilibre entre culture «populaire» et culture «sérieuse».
Les reprises du surréalisme français dans la revue américaine d’exil transition (1927-1938)
Authors: Mansanti Céline
Published: August 2023

Cet article appréhende le phénomène de reprise à travers l’intense dialogue culturel international qui marque les petites revues modernistes de la première moitié du XXe siècle, et plus particulièrement les revues anglo-américaines d’exil. Il envisage différentes modalités de reprises du surréalisme français dans la littérature américaine des années 1920 et 1930 publiée dans la revue américaine transition, à Paris, entre 1927 et 1938. Trois axes sont étudiés : une relation de fascination pour le surréalisme français, une relation médiane, où la reprise s’accompagne d’un métissage avec des références culturelles propres, et enfin une relation plus distante, d’opposition entre le surréalisme français et les expérimentations surréalistes proposées par certains écrivains américains. La reprise, contrairement au recyclage ou à la récupération, suggère moins l’existence d’un cycle que celle d’une translation, qui n’en est pas moins complexe pour autant.
Reprise de l’Égalité des deux sexes (1673) de Poulain de la Barre dans les brochures de [Sophia] (1739-1740)
Authors: Leduc Guyonne
Published: August 2023

Sophia, the anonymous and still unidentified author of two of the Sophia pamphlets, was long considered the first English prefeminist. However, her two texts and that which answered the first (1739-1740), republished together in 1751, mainly consist in a reprise of the ideas and the very words of Poulain de la Barre’s Égalité des deux sexes (1673). The contextualisation of these publications combined with comparative stylistic analyses of the pamphlets and the translation of Égalité make it possible to identify the modes of borrowing and rewriting, hovering between recreation and what would now be termed as plagiarism, and thus to reconstruct the elaboration of a coherent patchwork with a bias in favour of women not present in the original, while showing more generally the role played by translators in disseminating ideas from one culture to another.
Milton’s hypotextual presence in James Thomson’s Summer (1727)
Authors: Van de Walle Kwinten
Published: August 2023

Continuing his creative engagement with the literary past that had already been manifested in Winter. A Poem (1726), James Thomson fashions a poetics in Summer. A Poem. (1727) that promotes national pride, patriotism, and an attempt at generating an intellectual canon of writers. He capitalises on the high-cultural value attributed to John Milton’s works in 18th-century England by hypotextually modelling his descriptive nature poem on his illustrious predecessor’s poetry. He adopts a Miltonic diction and imbues Summer with an epic modulation, in the process appropriating Augustan poetic diction for his narrative-descriptive mode. In several reflective passages in his generically hybrid poem, Thomson theorises his adaptation and reworking of the poetic precepts of his literary model, hoping – above all – that his work, in line with other popular imitations of Milton, will find favour in the literary marketplace.
Tintin and the Scottish colourists : how to recycle without a bike
Authors: Grove Laurence
Published: August 2023

Aussi inattendue que la comparaison puisse paraître, Hergé (1907-1983) et J. D. Fergusson (1874-1961) fournissent deux exemples pertinents de recyclage culturel. L’île noire, album clé parmi les aventures de Tintin, s’inspire librement de Buchan, Hitchcock et du folklore écossais, tandis que Fergusson suit les Impressionnistes et les post-Impressionistes bien avant que ceux-ci ne deviennent populaires ailleurs. C’est en comparant deux artistes actifs à partir des années 1930 mais travaillant dans des milieux géographiques et sociaux très différents que nous pouvons établir l’importance des liens culturels dans la construction et la compréhension de l’épistémè d’une époque. Hergé et Fergusson explorent le passé afin d’influencer l’avenir, l’un fait venir l’Écosse en France et l’autre la France en Écosse.
Imagined communities and the lures of hypermodernity : The case of the South Asian diaspora
Authors: Král Françoise
Published: August 2023

Loin d’avoir perdu de sa pertinence, le concept de «communauté imaginaire», théorisé par Benedict Anderson dans son ouvrage constitue un paradigme important dans l’étude des échanges transnationaux et de leur rôle à l’époque contemporaine, dans un contexte caractérisé par un transnationalisme exacerbé. Dans le sillage de Anderson, Arjun Appadurai a étudié la formation de ce qu’il appelle les «scapes», ces communautés imaginaires qui se créent autour de besoins ou de centres d’intérêt et qui semblent constituer de nouveaux cadres transnationaux, susceptibles de prendre la place des nations, nous invitant à réfléchir à ce qui différencie les nations de ces nouveaux cadres dont le devenir s’inscrit sous le sceau du changement et de la précarité.

Dans cet article je propose d’utiliser cette notion comme prisme permettant de mieux comprendre les romans de la diaspora indienne, et en particulier ceux de Jhumpa Lahiri et de Hari Kunzru.
Contesting home and native land : Tessa McWatt’s Out of My Skin and Drew Hayden Taylor’s “A Blurry Image on the Six O’clock News”
Authors: Moyes Lianne
Published: August 2023

The events of summer 1990 at Kanesatake and Kahnawake, known as the Oka Crisis, have proven incredible motors of representation, generating texts across genres, media and disciplines. In this essay, I address two literary texts that engage with the crisis : Tessa McWatt’s novel Out of My Skin and Drew Hayden Taylor’s short story “A Blurry Image on the Six O’clock News.” Both fictions integrate images from the mainstream news coverage as a way of drawing readers’ attention to the status of the events as “public,” as shared by and relevant to Canadian society at large. At the same time, these fictions show the news to be radically contingent. They present the crisis not as a stable object of knowledge but as a field of public discourse which speaks of violence but also of the potential for intervention and transformation.
No tierra firme : Retrieving Loss in Helena Maria Viramontes’s Their Dogs Came with Them
Authors: Grandjeat Yves-Charles
Published: August 2023

Helena Maria Viramontes’s 2007 novel Their dogs came with them conjures up the life of a few blocks in the Chicano barrio of East L. A. As ecocritics would put it, the narrative is firmly “emplaced” and as such it belongs to a well established tradition of Chicano and Chicana narratives testifying to the power of fiction in helping maintain a sense of community and territory. Yet, the story also makes it clear that the time of origin is a time of loss, and that bonding rituals are rituals of death. Meanwhile, the persistent marks of a lost native tongue endow the narrative with a ghostly quality suggesting that the only community it may produce is a shaky one, in a ghost town whose phantom citizens are united by a common experience of loss, which becomes the creative energy at the heart of fiction.
Pop culture and the construction of ethnicity in Richard Van Camp's The Lesser Blessed and Miriam Toews’s A Complicated Kindness
Authors: Omhovère Claire
Published: August 2023

For Larry and Nomi, the protagonists of Richard Van Camp’s the Lesser Blessed (1996) and Miriam Toews’s A Complicated Kindness (2004), wrestling with teenage angst is complicated by the issue of ethnicity and the claims their respective communities put on them. If you think that becoming an adult is tough enough, try becoming an Indian or a Mennonite in contemporary Canada. That is, in substance, what the two narrators are asking us. But the way they are telling their story, the energy and the refreshing humour they put into it, are well worth our attention in a context where CanLit - the CanLit which receives national awards and international attention - is being queried by some for the plain boredom it inspires in them : “One could say,” Douglas Coupland writes, “that CanLit is the literary equivalent of representational landscape painting, with small forays into waterfowl depiction and still lifes. It is not a modern art form, nor does it want to be” (The New York Times 2006). Modernity, however, features prominently in the two novels I propose to study in parallel, insofar as the strategies they resort to point to a shared experience of ethnicity which transcends individual allegiances to a given community. My analysis will concentrate on the ubiquitous references to pop culture which index contemporaneity in the two works, interrogating the stereotypes of the quaint Mennonite and the romantic Indian, two figures safely sealed within the amber light of the past.
Déjà vu in British nineteenth-century travel book illustrations on Egypt : continuity and change
Authors: Lehni Caroline
Published: August 2023

Drawing upon a large corpus, including over 200 of the 300 illustrated travel accounts on Egypt published in Britain in the nineteenth century, as well as upon the detailed analysis of a selection of illustrations taken from particular works, this paper aims to reopen the question of a lack of authenticity in Orientalist representations. By focusing not only on the processes of recycling and repetition which, indeed, largely shaped the travel iconography of Egypt, but also on the few isolated examples of representations which stand out in contrast to the déjà vu syndrome in books on Egypt such as Thackeray’s From Cornhill to Grand Cairo, this paper aims to highlight the changing and polymorphous character of a multi-faceted Orientalism.
William the Conqueror, Henry III, Richard II et al., or English history recycled by seventeenth-century republican newsbooks
Authors: Curelly Laurent
Published: August 2023

The material used for this contribution consists of two series of editorials published in two different “republican” newsbooks during the English Revolution : The Moderate, a radical newspaper, and Mercurius Politicus, an official middle-of-the-road publication. This paper looks into the way the authors of many of these editorials recycle English history to beef up their criticism of the Stuart monarchy as well as give weight to their defence of popular sovereignty. Ironically, it seems that not all kings deserve condemnation, and one of the authors distinguishes between legitimate monarchs and usurpers. The reason why some of these English kings were held to be less evil than the others is examined here. This paper finally assesses how far the authors’ recycling and reconstruction of English history helped them to outline a republican historical narrative that was still to be completed when they wrote.
“Déjà vu/déjà entendu” ? Handel’s opere serie on the London Stage
Authors: Degott Pierre
Published: August 2023

Handelian opera seria might well be regarded as a huge recycling machine. Partly based on the setting of outdated librettos revamped in order to suit modern taste, it often makes use of previously composed music, usually enriched and improved to please London audiences. Handel’s Serse is a case in point inasmuch as it reveals the British specificities of an exogenous musical genre which somehow manages, once it has been acclimatised to its new context, to combine strangeness and familiarity, déjà vu and creativity, rehashing and originality. Quite surprisingly, many operatic arias from Handel’s works found their way into the ballad operas once believed to parody and undermine the imported musical genre. The final part of the article, devoted to the farce The Lottery (1732), thus examines the various shades of meaning derived from the intrusion of those déjà entendu musical pieces whose incongruous origin paradoxically enlightens the dramatic and aesthetic issues at stake in Fielding’s play.
Linguistic dissonance and the quest for a Caribbean voice in the poetry of Edward Kamau Brathwaite
Authors: Vettorato Cyril
Published: August 2023

Theoretician and proponent of a “Nation Language” meant to provide the Caribbean peoples with a decolonized set of words and concepts adapted to their particular worldview and historical experience, Barbadian author Kamau Brathwaite did not, as might have been expected, elaborate a monolithic Creole poetics. Instead of basing his creative work on the “defense and illustration” of one particular, localized language, Brathwaite experimented with linguistic plurality and dissonance as means for an opening of the possible. This poetic project is at the core of his 1973 trilogy The Arrivants, where the friction between Standard English, Bajan, Jamaican Patois, African American Vernacular, Haitian Creole and Akan parallels the different territories, voices and historicities of the African Diaspora. The experiments with linguistic and cultural frictions make the reader question his/her own linguistic reflexes and imagine new communities.
The Constructionalization of Formulaic Sequences Called “Snowclones”
Authors: Rentz Julien
Published: August 2023

Cette étude se concentre sur la constructionalisation de séquences figées à l’aide d’analyses de corpus. Il est conventionnellement admis que le processus de lexicalisation, par lequel une séquence libre devient plus ou moins «figée», entraîne une réduction. Celle-ci se manifeste par la restriction d’opérations habituellement possibles tant au niveau transformationnel que référentiel mais aussi par une perte de compositionalité. Ces séquences figées se voient mémorisées et perçues comme des unités que des variations ou violations d’utilisations viennent perturber provoquant une délexicalisation (ou défigement) avec une lecture non-idiomatique partielle ou totale. Partant des acquis des approches constructionnelles, nous souhaitons montrer qu’à travers une série de délexicalisations cohérentes certaines séquences (par ex. My kingdom for a horse) font l’objet d’une généralisation sur le plan sémantique avec pour résultat des séquences plus abstraites (My kingdom for a X). Ces nouvelles séquences disposent aussi d’une lecture idiomatique mais, contrairement aux séquences figées, elles connaissent une augmentation de productivité ainsi que de schématicité.
Towards a Metalinguistic Representation of the Lexeme SHY
Authors: Muller Philippe
Published: August 2023

Cet article aborde la question de l’invariance sémantique de la notion /SHY/ telle qu’elle se trouve être exprimée par le lexème SHY, en en proposant une représentation métalinguistique topologique qui pourrait constituer un premier pas vers l’élaboration d’une forme schématique dans le cadre de la TOPE. Il propose que SHY se laisse analyser notionnellement comme l’expression d’un hiatus entre deux termes X et Y, X étant déterminé qualitativement comme étant extérieur à Y tout en étant dans son voisinage. Il est ainsi suggéré que SHY marque qualitativement une opération de différentiation entre les deux termes qui s’accompagne d’une rupture sur le plan quantitatif. Il établit cependant une tension notionnelle entre X et Y, ce qui ouvre la voie à la déconstruction fictive de la distance cognitive qui les sépare. Ceci permettrait de distinguer SHY OF et SHORT OF dans un contexte spatio-temporel. Il est également proposé que le concept d’intentionnalité parfois employé dans la TOPE permet de rendre compte de cette tension au niveau énonciatif.
The Strange Case of John Martin’s Dinosaurs
Authors: Adrien Muriel
Published: August 2023

John Martin (1789-1854) was among the first artists to make pictures on a very new and controversial topic at the time : dinosaurs. The surgeon-geologist Gideon Algernon Mantell held him in such esteem that he called on him to design the frontispiece of his book, so did the fossil collector Thomas Hawkins and the lesser-known curator Richardson later on. We will see how Martin’s depictions combined religious and scientific influences, and achieved the tour de force of conciliating adverse schools. His paleoimagery picked up various contemporary conflicting discourses, absorbed the issues, frictions, anxieties and fantasies of the day, and tuned in very finely on the spirit of the times.
«Sourire quand même» : La reconstruction des Gueules Cassées de la Grande Guerre en France et en Grande-Bretagne
Authors: Gehrhardt Marjorie
Published: August 2023

Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, la fréquence et la sévérité des blessures de la face rendent nécessaire la mise au point de traitements spécialisés pour «reconstruire des hommes», pour reprendre les mots du chirurgien Frederick Albee. Au-delà de la prise en charge de l’atteinte physique, la défiguration appelle une approche holistique des soins et du patient, que les soignants tentent de mettre en place malgré les pressions des autorités militaires pour renvoyer les soldats au combat dès que possible. S’appuyant sur des archives médicales, journalistiques et personnelles françaises et britanniques, cet article explore différentes facettes de la reconstruction physique, morale et symbolique des Gueules Cassées dans une perspective comparative. En effet, si les défis auxquels font face soignants et patients sont similaires dans ces deux pays alliés, les réponses apportées varient. Leur étude offre un angle d’approche original sur l’évolution des façons de «panser» et de «penser» les blessures de la face, blessures dont les implications soulignent l’importance du visage comme «miroir de l’âme» qui renvoie à soi, et comme «interface» ou ouverture sur le monde.
Contacts, Frictions and Clashes in British Musicians’ Opposition to the Thatcher Governments, 1979-1990
Authors: Tranmer Jérémy
Published: August 2023

La fin des années 1970 et les années 1980 ont constitué pour la gauche britannique une période difficile. Alors que le Parti conservateur de Margaret Thatcher dominait la scène politique, les travaillistes perdirent les élections législatives à trois reprises consécutives et les syndicats subirent de lourdes défaites. L’un des aspects originaux à l’opposition au Premier Ministre fut la présence de nombreux groupes et musiciens parmi lesquels les Specials, Crass, Billy Bragg et Paul Weller. Ces artistes composèrent non seulement des chansons critiquant le Premier Ministre, sa politique et l’impact de celle-ci sur les gens ordinaires, mais ils exprimèrent par ailleurs leur opinion dans les médias et participèrent à des mouvements d’opposition. Les termes «contacts», «frictions» et «heurts» peuvent contribuer à créer une typologie des diverses activités de cette période auxquelles les musiciens prirent part. La dimension politique de ces activités peut être mise en évidence en appliquant les concepts gramsciens de «guerre de position» et «guerre de manœuvre » aux «frictions » et aux «heurts » que les musiciens ont engendrés.
Establishing the Boundaries and Creating the Genre of the Scientific Research Article in the late Seventeenth Century
Authors: Banks David
Published: August 2023

Dans le texte spécialisé, le genre se reconnaît par ses traits linguistiques qui sont générés par le contexte social. Les scientifiques de la fin du XVIIe siècle étaient conscients que la nouvelle science expérimentale qu’ils promouvaient avait besoin d’un genre nouveau. Robert Boyle fait usage de différents genres pour des sujets différents : théologie, philosophie, ou science ; pour la science, il crée le genre nouveau de l’essai expérimental. Dans son ouvrage History of the Royal Society, Thomas Sprat établit les règles de base du style nouveau requis par les membres de la Royal Society. Henry Oldenburg fonde le Philosophical Transactions dont le contenu est tiré de sa volumineuse correspondance. Il rédige d’abord les entrées lui-même mais adopte rapidement une stratégie qui consiste à utiliser des passages verbatim autant que possible. Ces trois exemples démontrent comment s’est créé ce genre nouveau à partir duquel s’est développé le genre de l’essai scientifique d’aujourd’hui.
Shakespeare’s Infernal Rivers : Topological Space and Dramatic Descensus ad Inferos
Authors: Matei-Chesnoiu Monica
Published: August 2023

Drawing on recent theories of geocriticism and spatial literary studies, mathematics, and cultural geography, this paper traces the courses of five rivers of the underworld in Greek mythology (the Styx and its affluent rivers, the Acheron, the Phlegethon, the Lethe, and the Cocytus) to demonstrate the blurred borderlines, functional relationships and connectivity of Shakespeare’s riverine imaginary spaces as revealed in theatrical action. Articulating notions of topology, this paper approaches space as relational and multi-layered. Early modern English theatre offers a particularly intricate intersection of spaces : the urban space of London, the space of the stage itself, evocations of various settings, more or less fictionalized and geographically and temporally removed symbolic spaces, as well as migrations of motifs from other cultures. The notion of topology conceives of theatrical space in terms of structural links. Consequently, I suggest the related idea of telemesic space, which allows different times, places and modes of representation, such as mythology, to blend on stage, which functions as a nodal point. Rivers of the underworld emerge as particularly resonant in this regard when evoked on stage. They are topological in that they both link and sever, and that they allow for a fluid transfer between early modern geographies and mythological dimensions. Shakespeare’s rivers of the underworld are located everywhere and nowhere— according to dramatic purpose — and their shifting uses reveal the topological homeomorphism of dynamic theatrical systems. Classical, medieval, and Renaissance tropes of descent to the underworld figured by infernal rivers are embodied into the actual descent to the theatre’s hell trapdoor and allegorize images of menace, terror, and dismemberment.
Representation of Conversational Style in the Oral Components of the BNC and the COCA : Towards the Description of a Mixed Genre
Authors: Maniez François
Published: August 2023

Les parties orales de corpus de référence tels que le British National Corpus (BNC) et le Corpus of American Contemporary American (COCA) sont de plus en plus utilisées pour l’enseignement de l’anglais. Cependant, la composition de ces deux corpus est rarement évoquée, et les chercheurs semblent généralement supposer qu’ils sont de même nature. Dans la mesure où sa partie orale représente 20% de l’ensemble du corpus, le COCA semble à cet égard avoir un avantage sur le BNC, dont la composante orale ne représente que 10% des 101 millions - corpus de mots. Cependant, alors que la partie orale du BNC contient plus de 4 millions de mots consistant en des transcriptions d’entretiens avec des locuteurs britanniques, le COCA est exclusivement composé de «transcriptions de conversations non scénarisées provenant de plus de 150 émissions de télévision et de radio» (Davies, 2010). Nous décrivons en premier lieu la composition des deux principaux corpus susmentionnés et soulignons les différences entre le contenu de leurs parties orales, puis nous comparons le BNC et le COCA en termes de fréquence pour l’utilisation combinée de marqueurs de vague language tels que «you know », «I mean » ou «sort of like». Nous décrivons enfin l’utilisation du corpus ENCOW16 pour l’étude de la structure syntaxique d’apparition récente «so not» en tant qu’indicé de la langue orale. Nos résultats démontrent que l’utilisation de corpus extraits de la Toile en lieu et place de corpus de plus faible taille (dans lesquels celle de la partie orale n’est pas suffisante pour refléter fidèlement les usages rares ou d’apparition récente) constitue une voie intéressante pour l’étude du genre du discours oral.
Genre, Where-Relatives and (Inter)Subjectivity
Authors: Delmas Claude
Published: August 2023

Nous étudions le cas des relatives adverbiales telles que «in a time + where », «in an age + where», etc. Ces constructions sont devenues acceptables. Au cours de son évolution, where est devenu flexible et l’on a affaire à un localisateur manipulable plus ou moins apte à exprimer la subjectivité et l’intersubjectivité (au sens de Benveniste (1966) et Traugott (1999)). Nous prenons en compte deux types de genre, les discours présidentiels américains et les entretiens d’embauche. Cet emploi permet à l’énonciateur d’exprimer sa subjectivité et de susciter l’intérêt chez son destinataire (intersubjectivité). Les représentations spatiales sont per-ceptuellement plus diversifiées que celles du temps, ce qui induit une plasticité accrue. En conséquence, where dans ces emplois et dans les genres interactionnels pertinents, tels que les discours politiques et les entretiens d’embauche ne correspond plus à un marqueur purement spatial. Il permet d’assurer des fonctions énonciatives, subjectives, et pragmatiques, intersubjectives : l’énonciateur peut exprimer son attitude et encourager ses destinataires à prendre en compte son point de vue. and intersubjective functions : the speakers can express their attitude and encourage their addressees to take account of their point of view.
An Enunciative Approach to Pathos in British General Election Manifestos
Authors: Nimtz Julie
Published: August 2023

The use of pathos is a well-known rhetorical device but, from a linguistic point of view, markers of this rhetorical device remain to be defined. In speeches, prosody and intonation may be used as indicators. The use of written media however, precludes any type of interpersonal displays of emotion, and yet the rhetoric put forward in manifestos does not elude emotion. Beyond explicit references to emotions, the language used in manifestos can be aimed at triggering an emotional response in the potential voter. This paper deals with fear-appeals in four 2010 General Election Manifestos (GEMs). Through a comparative study of the UKIP, BNP, Liberal Democrat party and Conservative party (GEMs), we first provide an analysis of the construction of the notion |fear| before turning to the notion |threat| perceived as one of the triggers of fear. In this way, this paper aims at formulating hypotheses about what the selected linguistic markers reveal concerning this rhetorical device.
Expressing Emotion in Romance Fiction : How Readers Like Their Heroes and Heroines to Communicate Passion
Authors: Carter Ellen
Published: August 2023

This case study examines quotes from romance novels uploaded and ’liked’ by users of Goodreads.com ; these are fragments of text that engendered high engagement in readers. I analyse the ten most popular quotes from each of the top-ten books on four popular Goodreads romance lists. The most common quote type is direct speech by the hero — often a declaration of love— suggesting the romance genre’s predominantly female readership values (perceived) insights into the male psyche and celebrates (fictional) men unafraid to verbally express emotion. By contrast, more of the quotes from heroines are internal monologue than direct speech, often showing them working through emotional issues that had been barriers to finding their happily-ever-affer. In conclusion, I use my findings as a pilot study to explore the usefulness and limitations of Goodreads quotes as a dataset for future research on readers and emotion.
Sites of Dissensus : Sensing Borders and Affective States
Authors: Rodney Lee

This essay considers the shifting representation of borders and territory in a North American context and how these sites continue to exert force on the political imagination through a language of crisis and emergency. While the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (2002) and the establishment of the U.S.-Mexico border wall (2006-8) are among the most obvious manifestations of a transformation in border policy, calls for greater protection along sparsely populated regions of the Canada-U.S. border have surfaced repeatedly in the media from 2017 onwards. In both the U.S. and Canada, the gaze toward “the border” has remained steady for some time. I argue that the relationship between sight and site was pressed into service in the creation and maintenance of national borders and that the mediated image of the border has been critical to shifting attitudes toward the role of borders and migration from the late 19th century onwards. But borders are also paradoxical sites that become knowable, however, as affective states. Drawing on the disparate work of Walter Mignolo and Jacques Rancière this paper explores the role of the senses in both historical and contemporary bordering processes through looking at a range of collaborative art and activist practices that align with relational and decolonial aesthetics. As the decolonial project becomes increasingly imperative for both indigenous and non-indigenous people in North America after the recommendations of the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Report, I ask how the reactionary and populist forms of border fortification can be countered and unsettled by hemispheric perspectives and migratory routes.
National Literatures, Borders and Arab-American Diaspora Fiction
Authors: Bayeh Jumana
Published: August 2023

Literary texts are understood within bounded frameworks, principally within national borders. As Benedict Anderson and Homi Bhabha demonstrated, print culture gave shape to nations, and literary canons were seen to “narrate the nation.” But what happens to our “bordered” classification system when texts emerge from migrant or diaspora writers ? One approach has been to label these works with a hyphen that bridges two national spaces, such as an Arab-American fiction. But does this hyphen take our analytical strategies beyond the border or does it merely reinforce the bordering analytical practices that underpin the work of literary criticism ? This paper will address these questions by focusing on contemporary Arab-American fiction. It will provide an overview of how Arab-American literature has been assessed as Arab or American, or a combination of both. It will demonstrate that the hyphen ironically reinforces borders by reproducing the idea of national literatures. To escape the boundaries imposed by national labels, this paper will argue that it is necessary to contextualise the work of Arab-American writers within a diasporic frame.
Walter Scott’s Portable Borderland : The Example of Anne of Geierstein (1829)
Authors: Sabiron Céline
Published: August 2023

Written as a sequel to Quentin Durward (1823), set in Medieval France in the late 1460s, Anne of Geierstein (1829) also strides beyond the Anglo-Scottish borders. The plot mostly takes place in France (in the Duchy of Burgundy), the Duchy of Lorraine (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) at the time of the Battle of Nancy in 1477, and in Switzerland. It takes up the largely unresolved conflict between King Louis XI of France, a proponent of centralized power, and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, an advocate of the old feudal system, to focus on the disastrous and eventually fatal campaign waged by Charles the Bold against the Swiss Confederates. It is a “confounded novel” (Journal : 591) which Scott very much struggled with because of both serious health and financial issues, but also because of his lack of knowledge of the cross-border geographical space in which the setting of his story was pitched. “I bothered myself with geography,” Scott wrote in his Journal (582), as he had never set foot in Switzerland. Considered as the father of the historical novel, he nonetheless paid great attention to space, with the border often being the main protagonist of his works. In an age of growing globalization, Anne of Geierstein raises the questions of the Scottish writer’s skill at realistically representing a borderland he had never been to, and above all of his legitimacy to do so at a time when travelling was no longer reserved to social and intellectual dites undertaking the Grand Tour, but was on the contrary popularised and made both easier and cheaper. This paper aims to prove that Scott’s approach to the concepts of spaces and borders paradoxically takes its full meaning in this very novel that pushed him out of his comfort zone, i.e. his familiar Scottish borderland. Thanks to his pseudo-ekphrastic writing and his use of intermedial resources such as drawings and paintings, Scott transposes the Swiss borderland from the real to the fictitious, from the visual to the textual in order to make it a truly intercultural and interlinguistic portable space, the locus of transnational sympathy.
Globe230k: A Benchmark Dense-Pixel Annotation Dataset for Global Land Cover Mapping

Global land cover map provides fundamental information for understanding the relationship between global environmental change and human settlement. With the development of data-driven deep learning theory, semantic segmentation network has largely facilitated the global land cover mapping activity. However, the performance of semantic segmentation network is closely related to the number and quality of training data, and the existing annotation data are usually insufficient in quantity, quality, and spatial resolution, and are usually sampled at local region and lack diversity and variability, making data-driven model difficult to extend to global scale. Therefore, we proposed a large-scale annotation dataset (Globe230k) for semantic segmentation of remote sensing image, which has 3 superiorities: (a) large scale: the Globe230k dataset includes 232,819 annotated images with a size of 512 × 512 and a spatial resolution of 1 m, including 10 first-level categories; (b) rich diversity: the annotated images are sampled from worldwide regions, with coverage area of over 60,000 km

, indicating a high variability and diversity; (c) multimodal: the Globe230k dataset not only contains RGB bands but also includes other important features for Earth system research, such as normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI), digital elevation model (DEM), vertical–vertical polarization (VV) bands, and vertical–horizontal polarization (VH) bands, which can facilitate the multimodal data fusion research. We used the Globe230k dataset to test several state-of-the-art semantic segmentation algorithms and found that it is able to evaluate algorithms in multiple aspects that are crucial for characterizing land covers, including multiscale modeling, detail reconstruction, and generalization ability. The dataset has been made public and can be used as a benchmark to promote further development of global land cover mapping and semantic segmentation algorithm development.

У всіх інформаційних матеріалах (біографічних довідках, статтях, спогадах тощо), присвячених Віктору Михайловичу Глушкову, завжди використовується епітет «видатний» (учений, організатор, глава наукової школи і т.ін.). Згідно зі «Словником української мови»: видатний — той, який вирізняється з-поміж інших якими-небудь надзвичайними рисами, якостями, особливостями [1]. Але, окрім надзвичайних якостей, якими, безумовно, вирізнявся Віктор Михайлович, його велич і видатна роль в історії нашої держави визначаються результатами, досягненнями та звершеннями, які він здійснив протягом свого короткого, але яскравого життєвого шляху й які стали невіддільними складовими нашого сучасного буття.

Академік В.М. Глушков був зачинателем багатьох напрямків наукових досліджень, зокрема і напрямку автоматизації проєктування алгоритмів, а розроблена ним концепція алгебри алгоритмів стала основою для багатьох розробок інструментальних засобів у цій галузі. Автори пропонують налаштування раніше створеного алгебро-алгоритмічного інструментарію на автоматизоване проєктування та синтез програм, що використовують нейроеволюційні алгоритми. Нейроеволюція є сукупністю методів машинного навчання, що застосовують еволюційні алгоритми для полегшення вирішення складних завдань, що імітують процес природного відбору. Метод нейроеволюції наростаючих топологій (NEAT) призначений для зменшення розмірності простору пошуку параметрів нейромережі у вигляді поступового розвитку її структури у процесі еволюції. Процес починається з популяції дрібних, найпростіших геномів і поступово збільшує їхню складність з кожним новим поколінням. Кінцевим результатом нейроеволюції є оптимальна топологія мережі, яка робить модель більш енергоефективною та зручною для аналізу. Розроблений інструментарій проєктування програм забезпечує автоматизацію побудови високорівневих специфікацій алгоритмів, поданих у системах алгоритмічних алгебр Глушкова, та синтез відповідних програм на основі шаблонів реалізацій цільовою мовою програмування. Налаштування інструментарію на проєктування нейроеволюційних алгоритмів полягає у внесенні в базу даних системи описів відповідних елементарних операторів і предикатів та їх програмних реалізацій. Використання інструментарію проілюстроване на прикладі проєктування та генерації програми для задачі балансування зі зворотним маятником, яка застосовує нейроеволюційний алгоритм бібліотеки NEAT-Python. Задача полягає в тому, щоб керувати модельованим візком, який може рухатися лише в двох напрямках за допомогою жердини, прикріпленої шарніром до його верхньої частини. Наведено результати експерименту з виконання програми, згенерованої за допомогою алгебро-алгоритмічного інструментарію.
