Abstract: This introduction to the special issue "Connecting Characters in Modern and Contemporary French-language Fiction" offers a critical context for studying character networks and interdependency. Through the lens of Glissant's concept of "Relation" and in dialogue with Jagoda's notion of "network aesthetics," the issue examines what connects characters in fictional works, how these links shape narrative meaning within and across texts, and how character interdependency reflects diverse social, political, and historical contexts.

Abstract:

Set in the historical context of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Jeanette Winterson's The Passion is an outstanding example of the kind of fiction that Elizabeth Wesseling (1991: vii) calls postmodernist historical novels, that is, "novelistic adaptations of historical material". Besides, being profoundly self-reflexive, the novel also falls under Linda Hutcheon's (1988) category of historiographic metafiction. The present paper focuses on Winterson's political choice of two representatives of historically silenced groups, a soldier and a woman, who use two apparently opposed na

Dinah Silveira de Queiroz (1911-1982), in a literary career spanning more than 40 years, wrote novels, short stories, theater, science fiction and children's literature. One of the literary genres that brought her the most notoriety, however, was historical fiction. An example of this is The women of Brazil (1954), which has as background the Emboabas War. Another example is Os invasores (1965), a plot based on the events surrounding the French invasion of Rio de Janeiro in 1710.

While ostensibly set in the historical past, the novels under observation share significant traits with the popular genre of the invasion novel that came to the fore in the second half of the nineteenth century as the Bri

The proliferation of hybrid genres is a notable trend in contemporary French literature. Alongside autofiction, new hybrids are emerging in French literature, modelled on a mixture of fiction and factual genre. One of them is exofiction (“ex” + “fiction”), which implies a narrative about fictitious events from the life of a historical character or an attempt to introduce fiction into someone else’s biography. The neologism, belonging to the writer Philippe Vasset, is rapidly entering scholarly and critical discourse, but no systematic attempt to describe the phenomenon has been made. According

SF needs to be theoretically distinguished from its generic “cousin” Scientific Fiction. As an early example of the latter, Jules Verne’s novels are structurally different from most SF. Verne’s “Voyages Extraordinaires” were intentionally geared towards the pedagogical implantation of factual scientific knowledge. And the narratological blueprint of each “roman scientifique” in this series strongly reflects this intent.

As developed by Immanuel Wallerstein and various co-thinkers, world-systems analysis is essentially an approach to economic history and historical sociology that has been largely indifferent to literary studies.

More recently, literary scholars have attempted to apply this kind of analysis directly to their own field. The best-known

Using a hidden magic lantern in a pitch-dark room, Robertson projected images of ghosts and skeletons as well as historical personages from the French Revolution.

AbstractInvestigations into the history of the modern practice of fiction encounter a wide range of obstacles.

Therefore, it is not easy to establish whether scholars and poets of other centuries actually do talk about what we today call fiction or fictionality and, if they do, what they say about it.

By the time he died unexpectedly in Cairo on July 21, 1914, at the age of fifty three, he had already established himself, in a little over twenty years, as one of the most prolific and influential thinkers and writers of the Arab Nahda (Awakening), but also as an educator and int

I would like to recall several ideas that have supported the entirety of my work for the past 40 years: forms of worker emancipation and the regimes of the identification of art; the transformations of literary fiction and the principles of democracy; the presuppositions of historical science and the forms of consensus by today’s dominant apparatuses. What unites all these areas of research is the attention to the way in which these practices and forms of knowledge imply a certain cartography of the common world.

Organizational cultures can contain enduring traits that apparently make no sense. To shed some light on how and why organizational nonsense happens, I examine the case of some apparently nonsensical attributes often associated with French corporations. As nontraditional research, I propose a methodology combining cultural interpretation and production of fiction. I use humor to build ideal-typed representations through three satirical vignettes that depict elegant design generating widespread patching across organizations, working meetings becoming the ceremonial dumping of faits accomplis an

Abstract: In his 1981 novel VALIS , science fiction writer Philip K. Dick proposed a vision of human existence in which superimposing the past, present and future reveals the Black Iron Prison, the materialization of oppression as the constant running through all eras of history. "The Empire never ended," says Dick. He might as well be speaking of the French Empire, whose current ubiquity demonstrates, if necessary, that in a time when political leaders in France and elsewhere aggressively promote sanitized official history, revisionist historical and archival work has immediate bearing on the

This article discusses the representation of cultural plurality in the novels of two major French and Polish contemporary fiction writers: Michel Houellebecq and Jerzy Pilch. The aim of this essay it to present a comparative analysis of the different conceptions represented by these two writers. The influence of historical, cultural and religious particularities on Pilch's and Houellebecq's views on multiculturalism is also considered. Furthermore, by comparing Jerzy Pilch’s and Michel Houellebecq’s work, we examine two different perspectives: the first one, that of a member of a Polish religi

One of the striking aspects of the trenchant legacy of Michael Fried’s ‘Art and Objecthood’ is its status as a piece of art criticism. Widely perceived as difficult and personal, philosophical and explicatory, doxa or sermon, the essay stands out. To explore its singularity, this article compares Fried’s conception of the period criticism of 18th-century French painting in his book Absorption and Theatricality: Painting and Beholder in the Age of Diderot (1980) and the method of criticism enacted in ‘Art and Objecthood’ (1967) which he saw as connected.

Drawing on the literature of the Danish historian Peter Frederik Suhm, Ingemann embraces and ‘recycles’ the idea that historically an ancient constitution existen in Denmark to ensure that the peasant was on equal terms with the nobi

The aim of this article is to analyze the dissemination of the works of Caroline Pichler and Carl Franz van der Velde within the context of the circulation of novels in the 19th century. Both were authors of historical novels – a genre that gained prominence in the first half of the 19th century, a time when social transformations drove people from various regions to revisit their history. The analysis was based on literary reviews published in German, French, English and Portuguese-language periodicals, and on library catalogs and booksellers’ advertisements.

Abstract:

The time is long past when the history of a nation’s SF was viewed merely as an extension of its local folklore. And the contemporary study of SF as a world literature would seem to call for a more detailed analysis of how the American model—which carried the genre to its current level of maturity—affected both the historical evolution of SF as a whole and that of certain national literatures. Such an investigation requires a look at the prehistory of the genre (inasmuch as SF, from the 17th century onward, developed as an autonomous fictional form) and the manner by which it assumed its gener

Through primary source documents, such as the plays being performed, and secondary sources, such as French historical documents, this analysis consolidates these informative texts to understand the bigger picture of the Theatre in the grander c

Through metafictional commentary the reader is alerted to the provisionality and tentativeness of historical fiction, as fiction and historical facts are constantly juxtaposed. At the same time the novel can be read as an attempt to fathom the ‘darkness’ of the bygone era, and to throw ‘light’ on the nature of intercultural relationships during the period of the Batavian

The article considers the characteristics of interpretation by Alexandre Dumas père of a genre of gothic fiction based on the writer’s less popular works: Le Château d’Eppstein, 1843 and Le Pasteur d’Ashbourn,1853. Alexandre Dumas père deviates from the genre’s traditional surrounding, i.e. the southern France, Italy, Spain. Le Château d’Eppstein is set in Germany; by connecting the legendary past with the historical time, Dumas enhances one of the genre’s inherent features, at the same time enriching the narrative with a dense intertextual component. The events of Le pasteur d’Ashbourn happen
