This book provides an original and exciting analysis of Colombian women's writing and its relationship to feminist history from the 1970s to the present. In a period in which questions surrounding women and gender are often sidelined in the academic arena, it argues that feminism has been an important and intrinsic part of contemporary Colombian history. Focusing on understudied literary and non-literary texts written by Colombian women, it traces the particularities of Colombian feminism, showing how it has been closely entwined with left-wing politics and the country's history of violence. This book therefore rethinks the place of feminism in Latin American history and its relationship to feminisms elsewhere, challenging many of the predominant critical paradigms used to understand Latin American literature and culture.

This book argues that narrative literature very often, if not always, include significant amounts of what appears to be extra-literary material - in form and in content - and that we too often ignore this dimension of literature. It offers an up to date overview and discussion of intermedial theory, and it facilitates a much-needed dialogue between the burgeoning field of intermedial studies on the one side and the already well-developed methods of literary analysis on the other. The book aims at working these two fields together into a productive working method. It makes evident, in a methodologically succinct way, the necessity of approaching literature with an intermedial terminology by way of a relatively simple but never the less productive three-step analytic method. In four in-depth case studies of Anglophone texts ranging from Nabokov, Chandler and Tobias Wolff to Jennifer Egan, it demonstrates that medialities matter.

Liberature: A Book-bound Genre discusses the concept, proposed by the Polish poet Zenon Fajfer in 1999, which refers to the kind of writing fusing text with its material form into a conceptual whole in the space of the book. In her monograph, described by the author as 'the fruit of miscegenation between a scholar and a creative writer', Katarzyna Bazarnik explains how liberature is indebted to modernist explorations of the materiality of writing pointed out by Jerome McGann, as well as practices of 'presentification' described by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. She flags affinities between liberature and related concepts: N. Katherine Hayles's 'technotexts', Jessica Pressman's 'bookishness', Lori Emerson's 'readingwriting interfaces', and Alison Gibbons' analyses of multimodal literature. Finally, reading liberature through contemporary genre theory, she proposes to see it as a multimodal, literary genre bound to the architecture of the material book.

Vingt ans après la Revue de littérature générale et ses deux numéros historiques, Olivier Cadiot a eu envie de revenir sur le sujet, mais cette fois sans l’aide de sociologues, de philosophes, de musiciens ou de paysagistes. Avec les seuls moyens de l’écrivain contemporain. Sans plans, ni cartes, ni partitions, ni théorie. Cela donne un feuilleton en plusieurs épisodes, comique et sensible, une histoire en zig-zag émaillée de conseils à de futurs auteurs… et surtout à soi-même. Une suite de variations consacrées aussi bien au passé de la littérature qu’à son présent, à son avenir, à sa mort annoncée mais toujours différée. Ce n’est pas à proprement parler une fiction, bien que cela y emprunte des personnages, des « figures », des cas psychologiques et une vraie liberté de ton ; ce n’est pas non plus un essai bien que s’y retrouvent théories, hypothèses et débats : c'est un livre d'Olivier Cadiot.
