Abstract

Can fiction teach us how to live? This study offers a fresh take on the North American short story, exploring how the genre has engaged in the construction and circulation of 'life knowledge'. Echoing the resurgence of short story scholarship in recent years, it thus contributes a genre-focused perspective to the growing field of 'literature and knowledge' studies. Drawing on stories from the late 19th century to the present by authors such as Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eudora Welty, Junot Díaz, and Alice Munro, Michael Basseler examines how knowledge about life and how to live it is generically constituted and, vice versa, how literary genres such as the short story are embedded in broader cultural frameworks of knowledge production.

Abstract

New scholarly essays on the short story in English as a phenomenon of world literature. This collection explores the history and development of the anglophone short story since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Ranging across texts from different parts of the English-speaking world, it studies the form in its many guises and venues of publication. Why have writers of so many nationalities and dispositions found the short story amenable to experimentation and discovery? What is the history and origin of the modern short story, and what has been the role of the publishing business, of academic criticism, of the Creative Writing 'industry', and of the digital revolution in shaping and disseminating it over the past two centuries? This collection of innovative essays by new and established scholars explores these and other questions, addressing stories from around the world, and considering their relationship to place, identity, history and genre.

Abstract

Les formes brèves sont aujourd'hui un mode de communication et d'expression artistique incontournable, omniprésent dans notre culture mais en même temps méconnu. Mouvant et polymorphe, ce format relève aussi bien de l'art que de la littérature, des sciences de la communication, du cinéma, de l'audiovisuel et de nombreux autres domaines. Il n'a pas pour autant fait l'objet que d'un petit nombre de publications interdisciplinaires. Les textes rassemblés ici selon une perspective interdisciplinaire et internationale envisagent donc les formes brèves dans leur diversité, d'un point de vue diachronique tout autant que synchronique. Ils permettent de nourrir non seulement des analyses ciblées sur ces différents types de formes brèves (au cinéma, en littérature, dans l'art, dans la communication, etc.), mais aussi une réflexion théorique sur les questions de définitions, les enjeux, la modernité, ou encore sur la transgénéricité et la transmédialité qui caractérisent souvent ces formes brèves.
