Rien n'est plus mysterieux et objet de plus de convoitise qu'un best-seller. Certains livres sont concus en fonction de recettes menant automatiquement au succes. D'autres, issus du meme moule, passent completement inapercus - tandis que certains ouvrages reputes difficiles recoivent parfois un accueil enthousiaste du public. Quel point commun peut-on trouver entre le Capital et Harry Potter, Le Petit Prince et Belle du Seigneur ? Existe-t-il un secret, une technique, permettant de transformer n'importe quel manuscrit en n(deg) 1 des ventes ? Quelle part revient a l'auteur dans cette reussite ? a l'editeur ? aux lecteurs ? Finalement, depuis le XIXe siecle, que nous disent les best-sellers ? S'agit-il d'une categorie historique, dont on peut relater l'invention ? Nous racontent-ils l'histoire d'un horizon de reception : celui du grand public ? Peut-on, de Walter Scott aux Fifty Shades of Grey, batir une histoire de la culture commune au plus grand nombre ? D'ailleurs, les lire, est-ce forcement les aime ? Une pleiade de specialistes de la litterature et des metiers du livre se penche ici avec interet sur ces livres exceptionnels, habituellement traites avec mepris.

By exploring a rich array of Malay texts from novels and newspapers to poems and plays, Tom G. Hoogervorst's 'Language Ungoverned' examines how the Malay of the Chinese-Indonesian community defied linguistic and political governance under Dutch colonial rule, offering a fresh perspective on the subversive role of language in colonial power relations. As a liminal colonial population, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia resorted to the press for their education, legal and medical advice, conflict resolution, and entertainment.

Échelles de soie, narcotiques et poisons, rapts et disparitions, croix-de-ma-mère, aventuriers et ingénues persécutées : le roman populaire ne tient pas tout entier dans ce bric-à-brac coloré. Rocambole, Fantômas, Fatala et bien d’autres prennent vie sous la plume de puissants chefs d’entreprise ou de modestes manoeuvres des lettres. Les articles réunis dans ce volume évoquent sans irrespect ni dévotion les grandes heures du feuilleton et des livraisons à bon marché où prit corps en quelques lieux, certes communs, mais fondamentaux, toute une forêt de fantasmes : la mise en scène à grand spectacle de la détresse ou le triomphe tonitruant du courage et des « bonnes causes ».

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies is a comprehensive, global and interdisciplinary examination of the essential relationship between Gender, Sexuality, Comics and Graphic Novels. A diverse range of international and interdisciplinary scholars take a closer look at how gender and sexuality have been essential in the evolution of comics, and how gender and sexuality in comics demand that we re-frame and re-view comics history. Essays cover a wide array of intersectional topics including Queer Underground and Alternative comics, Feminist Autobiography, Re-drawing disability, Latina testimony, and re-evaluating the critical whiteness and masculinity of superheroes in this first truly global reference text to gender and sexuality in comics. Comics have always been an important place for the radical exploration of feminist and non-binary sexualities and identities, and the growth of non-normative comic book traditions as a field of inquiry makes this an essential text for upper level undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers studying Comics Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, Literary Studies and Cultural Studies.

This open access collection of essays examines the literary advice industry since its emergence in Anglo-American literary culture in the mid-nineteenth century within the context of the professionalization of the literary field and the continued debate on creative writing as art and craft. Often dismissed as commercial and stereotypical by authors and specialists alike, literary advice has nonetheless remained a flourishing business, embodying the unquestioned values of a literary system, but also functioning as a sign of a literary system in transition. Exploring the rise of new online amateur writing cultures in the twenty-first century, this collection of essays considers how literary advice proliferates globally, leading to new forms and genres.
