Abstract

Envois & Dédicaces constitue une réflexion sur le don du livre, qu’il se manifeste par un ex-dono, un envoi manuscrit ou une dédicace imprimée. Si cette dernière a été étudiée à propos de tel ou tel auteur, il nous manquait encore une réflexion d’ensemble sur celle-ci. Quant à l’envoi, jugé marginal et mondain, il n’a guère été abordé, hormis par les bibliophiles. On en trouvera ici un « bref traité » qui en souligne toute la richesse. Pas plus qu’il n’existe d’éléments insignifiants dans la vie psychique, ainsi que Freud nous l’a appris, il n’existe dans le livre de détail dépourvu de valeur. La modernité s’est intéressée longuement à la signature, beaucoup moins à l’envoi et à la dédicace, parce qu’elle estimait la littérature intransitive. Elle transite cependant et s’adresse à quelqu’un. Et ce qui semble à première vue accessoire joue un rôle non négligeable, sinon capital, dans la constitution du sens d’un livre. Telle est l’hypothèse d’Envois & Dédicaces, et son pari. Sa première partie, « Perspective cavalière » s’interroge, entre autres, sur la position en tiers du lecteur ainsi que sur la place de la dédicace, premiers mots d’un livre qui se révèlent souvent aussi ses derniers mots. La seconde, « Couleurs locales », examine la façon dont quelques auteurs se sont appropriés ce geste : un musicien, Bach, et cinq écrivains, Voltaire, Hugo, Baudelaire, Montherlant, Goffette, ce dernier nous offrant, en guise de conclusion, un poème inédit adressé « à ceux qui partent ».

Abstract

The traditional gulf between the theory and practice of literature and the various areas subjoined under anthropology has hindered the development of some very fruitful perspectives in the realm of poetics and the general theory of literature (particularly in its narrative forms). Poyatos' initial idea of literary anthropology as the study of people and their cultural manifestations through their national literatures - without doubt the richest source of documentation of human life-styles and the most advanced form of our projection in time and space and of communicating with contemporary and

Abstract

Technological and economic concerns have long been the drivers of debate about copyright. But diverse disciplines in the humanities - including literary studies, aesthetics, film studies, and the philosophy of art - have a great deal to offer if we wish to establish a more nuanced and useful conception of copyright and authorship. This volume brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the challenges inherent in translating aesthetics and creativity studies to concepts of copyright, especially as longstanding approaches are troubled by the rise of the digital.

Abstract

Increasing numbers of people have contact with other cultures and languages Language Learner Narrative examines representations of this phenomenon in literary texts using an applied linguistic approach. This analysis of written narratives of language learning and cross-cultural encounter complements objective studies in intercultural communication and second language acquisition research. Kant’s use of the term Mündigkeit in his essay “What is Enlightenment?” is used to frame the complex issues of language, identity, meaning and reality presented by the texts. Augmented by Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of linguistic capital, this framing forms a counterpoint to the positioning of these authors as “avatar[s] of poststructuralist wisdom” (Eva Hoffman). The work includes a uniquely detailed linguistic analysis of Emine Sevgi Özdamar’s Mutter Zunge , and further texts by other widely studied and less familiar authors (Yoko Tawada, Eva Hoffman, Vassilis Alexakis, Zé Do Rock). It also lists literary sources of language learner narrative. Through its fundamental examination of what and how language means to us as individuals, this volume will be of wide appeal to students and researchers in applied linguistics, second language acquisition, intercultural communication and literary studies.

Abstract

Imagining the Postcolonial is the first book dedicated to comparative analysis of Latin American and francophone postcolonial identity. Jaime Hanneken examines the disciplinary, theoretical, and political stakes involved in postcolonial identification in non-anglophone cultural spheres through readings of José Lezama Lima and Édouard Glissant's poetics of place, the symbolic value of Paris in modernista writing and in Congolese Sociétés des Ambianceurs et Personnes Élégantes (sape) rituals, and the scandals surrounding Rigoberta Menchú and Yambo Ouologuem. Hanneken argues that reorienting comparative critique to the priority of the object of study can transform rather than replicate existing conceptual formats of postcoloniality.

Abstract

Culture is studied in this collection, not merely as a set of products, but in terms of the involvement of individuals and groups in the making and using of such products. A wide range of activities, from the reading and writing of poetry to watching soccer on television, is surveyed by an international group of scholars from diverse disciplines: cultural history, literary studies, sociology. Topics include the social distribution of cultural activities, populism and elitism in modern aesthetics, the nature of cultural competence and the channels through which it is acquired, the impact of electronic media on traditional modes of culturalinvolvement, the role of public institutions such as churches, schools, and libraries in stimulating participation, and the relationship between cultural participation and socialization.

Abstract

Concentration croissante de l’édition, montée en puissance des agents littéraires, emprise des contraintes commerciales sur la circulation des livres, domination de l’anglais d’un côté, diversification des langues traduites de l’autre… Les flux de traductions favorisent-ils le dialogue entre communautés nationales ? Sont-ils au contraire l’expression d’un impérialisme économique qui s’accompagne d’une hégémonie culturelle ? Première analyse sociologique du marché mondial de la traduction, l’enquête menée par Gisèle Sapiro et son équipe offre une radiographie passionnante de notre paysage éditorial : circulation des œuvres d’un pays à l’autre, logiques du marché, spécificités de la réception, stratégies d’universalisation. Ou comment, contre la « marchandisation » du livre, une autre mondialisation éditoriale se fait jour, qui passe par des réseaux intellectuels, des alliances entre petits éditeurs indépendants et défenseurs de la diversité culturelle. Une contribution majeure pour comprendre la place de la France sur le marché du livre à l’heure de la globalisation.
