Abstract

Cette étude tente de définir le fonctionnement d'une écriture apparentée au discours et au soliloque. Cette production profondément ancrée dans le vécu de René Crevel semble avoir évolué de la représentation vers le pamphlet et la diatribe. Crevel a ainsi glissé d'un scripteur projetant sur un personnage central ses espoirs et ses rancoeurs à une composition plus rhapsodique de ses fictions. D'une publication à l'autre, l'économie générale de ses livres s'est modifiée. L'organisation de ses récits, procédant par emboîtements, s'est de plus en plus tramée d'oralité. L'univers diégétique s'est rempli d'une multitude croissante de personnages montrés dans l'indigence de leurs bavardages. Ce roman de plus en plus proféré fait songer aux efforts de Louis-Ferdinand Céline qui, au même moment, s'empoyait lui aussi à couler dans un français parlé les tonitruantes illusions d'une humanité en proie à la guerre sociale. Toutefois, Crevel refusait de se condamner à l'impuissance pour se tourner, dans la clameur et le tranchant de son interpellation, vers un public dont il ne pouvait imaginer qu'il était définitivement couché. En ne se préoccupant ni des interdits d'André Breton ni des conventions que le réalisme et le naturalisme avaient consacrées, Crevel a donné forme à des livres nés de la difficulté d'être. Le présent essai refuse par conséquent de dissocier la geste romanesque de René Crevel de sa trajectoire individuelle. Il vise de ce fait à dégager une perspective de lecture cohérente d'une production qui nourrit encore de nombreux malentendus.

Abstract

This original collection of essays explores the work and life choices of Spanish women who through their writings and social activism addressed social justice, religious dogmatism, the educational system, gender inequality, and tensions in female subjectivity. It brings together writers who are not commonly associated with each other, but whose voices overlap, allowing us to foreground their unconventionality, their relationships to each other, and their relation to modernity. The objective of this volume is to explore how the idea of "queerness" played an important role in the personal lives and social activism of these writers, as well as in the unconventional and nonconformist characters they created in their work. Together, the essays demonstrate that the concept of "queer women" is useful for investigating the evolution of women's writing and sexual identity during the period of Spain's fitful transition to modernity in the 19th century. The concept of queerness in its many meanings points to the idea of non-normativity and gender dissidence that encompasses how women intellectuals experienced friendship, religion, sex, sexuality, and gender. The works examined include autobiography, poetry, memoir, salon chronicles, short and long fiction, pedagogical essays, newspaper articles, theater, and letters. In addition to exploring the significant presence of queer women in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Spanish literature and culture, the essays examine the reasons why the voices of Spanish women authors have been culturally silenced. One thrust in this collection explores generational transitions of Spanish writers from the romantics and their "hermandad lrica" ("lyrical sisterhood") through to "las Sinsombrero" ("Women Without Hats"), and finally, current Spanish writers linked to the LGBTQ+ community.

Abstract

Since the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone came out in the United States in 1997; it and the six subsequent volumes have been on the New York Times bestsellers list continuously. Harry Potter no longer solely exists in books; he is everywhere dominating our world and our children’s worlds, which is why it is important to analyze just what Harry Potter is teaching our children. Although the Harry Potter series has been critiqued and analyzed by journalists and academics alike, there are fascinating gaps in the analyses. Perhaps the most rousing of these gaps is the virtual lack of attention to the ways in which J. K. Rowling has constructed gender, and the agency of the female characters, within the texts. The purpose of this book is to address this rousing gap, by critically deconstructing the representation of women’s agency by the female characters in the Harry Potter books 2-6. The study draws on all of the pre-existing theories, frameworks, underpinnings and themes that came out of the analysis that were set forth in the pilot study/first book that critically deconstructed the first Harry Potter book. There are many different books that discuss the Harry Potter phenomenon, but rarely do they analyze the books through a social justice lens, specifically looking at gender.

Abstract

The monograph presents various aspects of the situation and activities of women in Central and Eastern Europe, both in the past and at present, featuring profiles of outstanding women and topical or forgotten histories of social movements and organizations. In so doing, it engages in a dialogue with the culturally-defined stereotypical roles of women, which often cause their “Hamletian” tear between the social expectations and their own systems of values.
