Du menuisier Adam Billaut au boucher Joseph Ponthus, du dentiste Marmont au docteur Camuset, du cordonnier Magu à Cochon de Lapparent, nombreux sont les poètes qui ont évoqué leur profession dans leurs vers. Certains en ont fait des ouvrages didactiques, comme les enseignants de géographie, d'histoire ou de grammaire, d'autres de simples moments de plaisir partagé, comme le pharmacien Pascalon. Leurs œuvres sont tantôt ambitieuses, comme celle de l'avocat qui réécrit le Code civil en vers, tantôt émouvantes, comme les poèmes pacifistes d'un ancien officier. Tous ces écrivains, amateurs ou confirmés, ont cependant en commun d'être ceux que ce livre désigne, avec une ironie bienveillante, comme des " poètes de métier ". En quatre chapitres, Paul Aron esquisse de façon inédite une histoire de ces échanges entre profession réelle et art poétique. Mêlant érudition et humour, il dévoile ainsi un continent méconnu de l'histoire littéraire.

In ancient Greece, women's daily lives were occupied by various forms of labor. These experiences of work have largely been forgotten. Andromache Karanika has examined Greek poetry for depictions of women working and has discovered evidence of their lamentations and work songs. Voices at Work explores the complex relationships between ancient Greek poetry, the female poetic voice, and the practices and rituals surrounding women's labor in the ancient world.The poetic voice is closely tied to women's domestic and agricultural labor. Weaving, for example, was both a common form of female labor and a practice referred to for understanding the craft of poetry. Textile and agricultural production involved storytelling, singing, and poetry. Everyday labor employed—beyond its socioeconomic function—the power of poetic creation. Karanika starts with the assumption that there are certain forms of poetic expression and performance in the ancient world which are distinctively female. She considers these to be markers of a female'voice'in ancient Greek poetry and presents a number of case studies: Calypso and Circe sing while they weave; in Odyssey 6 a washing scene captures female performances. Both of these instances are examples of the female voice filtered into the fabric of the epic. Karanika brings to the surface the words of women who informed the oral tradition from which Greek epic poetry emerged. In other words, she gives a voice to silence.

Arpenter les lieux de la mémoire ouvrière et paysanne, explorer les nouveaux terrains de l’emploi tertiaire, inventorier et réinventer les langues qui façonnent le monde de l’usine et de l’entreprise : tel est souvent le programme des textes fictionnels ou documentaires consacrés au travail depuis les années 80. Ces ouvrages ont retenu l’attention de la critique universitaire récente. Manquait cependant encore une étude de fond consacrée à ce qui est pourtant un des enjeux fondamentaux de ces textes : leur portée politique. Ce volume s’attache donc à interroger les formes de l’implication qu’ils mettent en œuvre, de l’examen critique du monde social à l’élaboration d’un discours tourné vers la praxis. Il espère ainsi contribuer à penser les rapports de la littérature contemporaine au politique ; et, par là même, participer à l’élaboration d’une cartographie du champ littéraire au tournant du millénaire. To walk in the path of the industrial and rural working-class memory, to explore the new fields of tertiary employment, to survey and reinvent the languages that shape the factory and the company: such have often been the aims of fictional or documentary texts on labor since the 1980s. These works have caught the attention of recent academic critics. Remained nevertheless lacking an in-depth study on what is though a fundamental issue of these texts: their political reach. This volume interrogates the forms of implications they set in motion, from critically examining the social world to constructing a discourse aimed towards praxis. It thus examines the relations between contemporary literature and politics. In the same way, it elaborates a literary cartography at the turn of the millennium, through a panoramic corpus, of the movement of literature’s re-politicization as initiated by the business novel genre. Borrowing the humanities’ tools to reflect on capitalism’s metamorphosis, it offers new forms of legibility in reality, while posing anew the question of…

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre's puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production. Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.
