  • Ferré, Vincent (Igitur, 2013-12-13)
    In Contingency, Irony & Solidarity (1989), Rorty presents Proust as an exemplar of the ‘ironist’ in the field of the novel. This leads him to consider theories expressed in Swann’s Way — concerning the relation between ...
  • Haddad, Karen (Igitur, 2013-12-13)
    Theories of world literature have made the notion of comparative literature becoming more and more complex, and even obsolete. This paper is about the meaning of a comparison between Proust and foreign authors, especially ...
  • Houppermans, Sjef; Schuerewegen, Franc (Igitur, 2013-12-13)
  • Polosina, Alla; Montoya, Alicia C. (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    We present here a transcription of four unpublished manuscripts by Madame de Genlis – two letters, a personal note and a notice – that are preserved in the National Library of Russia, Saint Petersburg, and at the State ...
  • Conroy, Melanie (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    Madame de Genlis is famous as a critic of the philosophes thanks largely to her society dialogue of the 1820s, Les dîners du baron d’Holbach (1822). Her portrait of positive sociability, Les soupers chez la maréchale de ...
  • Polosina, Alla; Montoya, Alicia C. (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    In this article we examine the reception of Madame de Genlis by several nineteenth-century Russian authors. Pushkin called her “a scribbler without talent”, despite the fact that her Mémoires interested him greatly. Leo ...
  • Walker, Lesley H. (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    Through an analysis of the 1795 and 1805 editions of Les Chevaliers du Cygne ou la cour de Charlemagne as well as its historical reception, this essay examines the shifting sands of the entredeux moment—a time of contingency ...
  • Bourgault, Sophie (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    Few political philosophers have taken an interest in the oeuvre of Genlis, partly because it is often reduced to an insipid religious moralism. While Alice Laborde concludes her biography by emphasizing that Genlis “is ...
  • Guitard-Morel, Josiane (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    This article evokes Madame de Genlis and her participation in the cultural life of the eighteenth century, which was full of intellectual effervescence in spite of her strong anti-philosophic stance. The fundamental idea ...
  • Armenteros, Carolina (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    Little is known about the political thought of Félicité de Genlis (1746-1830) beyond the fact that she became a royalist after the French Revolution. A wealth of clues to her politics, how-ever, is contained in the story ...
  • Tremblay, Isabelle (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    The novel constitutes an ideal genre in which to discuss a central question in the eighteenth century: virtue. As opposed to her contemporaries, Mme de Genlis depicts virtue as a state of mind attained through independence ...
  • Parfitt, Alexandra (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
    The tensions between Graeco-Roman ideals and Catholic norms were one of the key issues in aristocratic education during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While this problematic was largely absent from female ...
  • Montoya, Alicia C. (Igitur, 2013-09-25)
  • Cadinot-Romerio, Sylvie (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    Les romans de Tanguy Viel peuvent être lus comme des aventures éthopoétiques : on y devient sujet en donnant sa propre version des histoires dans lesquelles on a été empêtré. C’est à la construction d’un tel éthos qu’ont ...
  • Faerber, Johan (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    L'anthologie serait sans doute le principe fondateur de la poétique des récits de Tanguy Viel. Ontologique et formelle, la passion de la citation témoigne d'une fascination des narrateurs pour des faux frères dont ils ...
  • Houppermans, Sjef (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    Dans l’oeuvre de Tanguy Viel c’est surtout le roman Insoupçonnable de 2006 que nous examinerons pour sa portée mélancolique où argent, désir et conditions sociales s’amalgament sous des regards filtrant le manque d’être. ...
  • Jérusalem, Christine; Houppermans, Sjef (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    No abstract available
  • Richir, Alice (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    Dans Le Black Note de Tanguy Viel, le jazz est à la fois un thème qui configure la projection identitaire à laquelle s’identifient les actants, et un processus créatif qui travaille au coeur de l’énonciation pour dynamiter ...
  • Houppermans, Sjef (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    La première pièce de théâtre de Laurent Mauvignier, Tout mon amour, est créée en 2012 par la compagnie Les Possédés. La thématique habituelle de Mauvignier (secrets des familles, solitude, violence sociale) s’y retrouve, ...
  • Capone, Carine (Igitur, 2012-12-17)
    Laurent Mauvignier, écrivain reconnu pour son style, est peu étudié sous l’angle de l’engagement social. Pourtant son oeuvre se centre sur les laissés pour compte de la société, et depuis 2004, ses textes semblent encore ...
