De nombreuses femmes et hommes politiques en Occident cultivent un style pensé pour heurter les conventions et manifester une forme de nouveauté. Ils fondent leur popularité sur des comportements qui valent avant tout parce qu'ils prétendent rompre avec l'habitus politique commun (Donald Trump, P. Iglesias Turrión, Vox et, de manière plus ambivalente que ne le faisait son propre père, Marine Le Pen). Dans les slogans comme dans les attitudes, c'est bien l'idée de rupture - avec le passé, avec les conventions, avec le ± système ? - que mettent en avant, comme un argument politique en actes, ces différents acteurs. Ce livre se propose d'étudier cette construction de la rupture comportementale dans une perspective diachronique, de l'Antiquité à nos jours, en la mettant en relation avec le concept aristotélicien et post-aristotélicien d'èthos tel qu'il est reçu dans la tradition rhétorique, la tradition linguistique, ou celle de l'analyse du discours. L'enjeu est à la fois de situer historiquement cette prétention à la rupture comportementale dans le temps long et d'en analyser les ressorts précis sur des cas d'étude sélectionnés. Un locuteur peut-il projeter une image de soi déchiffrable et efficace en l'absence de tout précédent, en se coupant de toutes les représentations et règles censées modeler sa présentation de soi ? Dans quelle mesure l'èthos de rupture subvertit-il les normes et modèles rhétoriques ? En bousculant les attentes de l'auditoire, cet éthos de rupture est-il voué à l'échec ou est-il le gage du changement et du renouveau ?

"Toxic Matters considers two Italian crises of environment and human health related to dioxin: the 1976 Seveso disaster and the disaster still unfolding in Taranto, long home to the Ilva steelworks. Toxic Matters traces a dialogue between Seveso and Taranto, exploring a common interplay between bodies, soil, industrial emissions, and the wealth of dynamic matter that passes in between. At the same time, it emphasizes the crucial function of storytelling for making sense of this modern-day reality, and for shifting existing power dynamics as exposed communities raise their voices. Grounded in Italian cases and texts, Toxic Matters looks out to pressing questions of toxicity, embodiment, and narrative faced by communities worldwide"--

The long tradition of mixta-genera fiction, particularly favoured by women novelists, which combined fully-transcribed letters and third-person narrative has been largely overlooked in literary criticism. Working with recognized formal conventions and typical thematic concerns, Tavor Bannet demonstrates how narrative-epistolary novels opposed the real, situated, transactional and instrumental character of letters, with their multi-lateral relationships and temporally shifting readings, to merely documentary uses of letters in history and law. Analyzing issues of reading and misreading, knowledge and ignorance, communication and credulity, this study investigates how novelists adapted familiar romance plots centred on mysteries of identity to test the viability of empiricism's new culture of fact and challenge positivism's later all-pervading regime of truth. Close reading of narrative-epistolary novels by authors ranging from Aphra Behn and Charlotte Lennox to Frances Burney and Wilkie Collins tracks transgenerational debates, bringing to light both what Victorians took from their eighteenth-century forbears and what they changed.

This volume argues against Gérard Genette’s theory that there is an “insurmountable opposition” between drama and narrative and shows that the two forms of storytelling have been productively intertwined throughout literary history. Building on the idea that plays often incorporate elements from other genres, especially narrative ones, the present study theorises drama as a fundamentally narrative genre. Guided by the question of how drama tells stories, the first part of the study delineates the general characteristics of dramatic narration and zooms in on the use of narrative forms in drama. The second part proposes a history of dramatic storytelling from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century that transcends conventional genre boundaries. Close readings of exemplary British plays provide an overview of the dominant narrative modes in each period and point to their impact in the broader cultural and historical context of the plays. Finally, the volume argues that throughout history, highly narrative plays have had a performative power that reached well beyond the stage: dramatic storytelling not only reflects socio-political realities, but also largely shapes them.
