Abstract

À l'heure où le surnaturel envahit toujours plus nos écrans, où Stephen King et J.K Rowling restent parmi les auteurs les plus lus au monde, les adultes sont souvent déconcertés par l'appétence de leurs ados pour l'horreur fantastique. Mais que peuvent-ils bien trouver dans ces récits sanguinolents de vampires ou de loup-garous, complètement irréalistes ? En voilà du temps perdu... L'auteur ouvre, avec tendresse et humour, une porte sur le monde des adolescents et montre pourquoi ceux-ci sont tellement attirés par l'horreur fantastique, pourquoi ce n'est pas une si mauvaise chose et enfin comment cet intérêt peut alimenter la pratique clinique des professionnels. En effet, l'horreur fantastique et ses archétypes pourraient aider les adolescents à affronter et élaborer les angoisses issues des modifications pubertaires et d'une toute nouvelle autonomie. Car l'adolescence est terrifiante en soi : alors que les repères construits dans l'enfance vacillent, ce n'est pas si facile de se séparer de ses parents pour aller explorer le vaste monde. S'appuyant sur l'actualité culturelle (Twilight, Harry Potter) et sur les classiques de l'horreur fantastique, Marion Hendrickx analyse les cinq grandes figures mythiques horrifiques : le vampire, la maison hantée, le loup-garou, la jeune fille et la créature de Frankenstein. Elle propose aux adultes qui prennent soin d'adolescents de considérer cet univers comme un espace culturel privilégié à explorer avec eux, reflet d'un monde interne en pleine mutation.

Abstract

Fantasy has been an important and much-loved part of children's literature for hundreds of years, yet relatively little has been written about it. Children's Fantasy Literature traces the development of the tradition of the children's fantastic - fictions specifically written for children and fictions appropriated by them - from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century, examining the work of Lewis Carroll, L. Frank Baum, C. S. Lewis, Roald Dahl, J. K. Rowling and others from across the English-speaking world. The volume considers changing views on both the nature of the child and on the appropriateness of fantasy for the child reader, the role of children's fantasy literature in helping to develop the imagination, and its complex interactions with issues of class, politics and gender. The text analyses hundreds of works of fiction, placing each in its appropriate context within the tradition of fantasy literature.

Abstract

Miraculous phenomena as an integral feature of Arthurian literature have always been a central focus of research, notably in approaches centering on the history of motifs and sources, and those with a structural bent. But with the new concern for issues posed by the history of mentality, problems of acculturation and functionalization have moved to centre stage. Francis Dubost's theories on the fantastic play a cardinal role in this development. These proceedings of an interdisciplinary research colloquium of the German section of the International Arthurian Society discuss the state of resear

Abstract

Liz Jensen, a British author of eight novels, is among today's most innovative writers. Her literary thrillers occupy the terrain between realism and science fiction. This first study of Jensen centers on the very diverse "otherworlds" she creates in each of her novels, which can consist of an indeterminate space of ontological instability, a zone in which real and unreal converge to destabilize the realist text, as in Egg Dancing (1995) and The Ninth Life of Louis Drax (2004). In other novels the otherworld relies on defamiliarization: thus in War Crimes for the Home (2002) the experience of war is transformed by being seen from a woman's perspective. In still other cases, the otherworld spans the novel's entire topos, as in The Paper Eater (2000), the full-blown utopia at the center of Jensen's oeuvre.
Jensen's work approaches contemporary social issues such as religious fundamentalism, ecological disaster, and assisted procreation. Simultaneously, itdisplays a number of characteristics of erudite fiction, including self-reflexivity, inter- and intratextual reference, parody, pastiche, and burlesque. Notwithstanding the "popular" elements of Jensen's work, Helen E. Mundler's study adopts a rigorously academic approach to it, referencing canonical works but also more innovative texts, particularly by contemporary women writers, as points of comparison.

Helen E. Mundler is Senior Lecturer in English Studies at UPEC (Université Paris-Est Créteil) with a research affiliation at the Université Paris-X Nanterre-La Défense.

Abstract

The Unconcept is the first genealogy of the concept of the Freudian uncanny, tracing the development, paradoxes and movements of this negative concept through various fields and disciplines from psychoanalysis, literary theory and philosophy to film studies, genre studies, sociology, religion, architecture theory, and contemporary art. Anneleen Masschelein explores the vagaries of this 'unconcept' in the twentieth century, beginning with Freud's seminal essay 'The Uncanny,' through a period of conceptual latency, leading to the first real conceptualizations in the 1970s and then on to the present dissemination of the uncanny to exotic fields such as hauntology, the study of ghosts, robotics and artificial intelligence. She unearths new material on the uncanny from the English, French and German traditions, and sheds light on the specific status of the concept in contemporary theory and practice in the humanities. This essential reference book for researchers and students of the uncanny is written in an accessible style. Through the lens of the uncanny, the familiar contours of the intellectual history of the twentieth century appear in a new and exciting light.
