Abstract:
Abstract: Giovanni Drogo is the fictional protagonist of Dino Buzzati’s most celebrated text, Il Deserto dei Tartari ( The Tartar Steppe ). From the solitude of a distant Fortress, Drogo observes the wilderness of the desert while waiting for foreign forces to arrive. However, the idea of power correlated to his position slowly becomes an insight into the hidden significance of things. The enigmatic time of his wait, the feeling of enchantment, the hypnotic force of the Fortress, are all elements associated with his final destination. Beyond the desert is the beginning of the afterlife.

Abstract:
Dino Buzzati’s most famous text, The Tartar Steppe (1940), is not simply the story of a young officer dispatched to do service in a remote fortress overlooking a vast northern desert, but a continuous oscillation between chronicle and fabulous realism. The narrative elicits a feeling of sharp malaise, a sense of anguish similar to the one conveyed by existentialist philosophy and Kafka’s fiction. By comparing Buzzati’s novel to its progenitors, this essay depicts the central experience of its main character as a journey to the afterlife where people, objects, and landscapes are but projections

The plague that closes Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura is a spectacle of disgust.

Again and again Lucretius hits upon domains that have been identified as key disgust elicitors. In Book 6, more than in any other book of the e

Abstract:
Abstract This article identifies the heterogeneous corpus that Jean du Bec mobilized for the writing of his fictional biography of Tamerlane and explains the roles he attributed to his character. Far from seeking to construct a faithful portrait of the “Tartar” sovereign, the author delivers political and military advices to French nobility in the midst of religious wars. As such, this novel demonstrates the strategies for mobilizing knowledge about the Orient in France at the end of the 16th century.

Paul Theroux, like most writers, is far uglier in person than he is in photographs. For one thing, there's the matter of his bluntly-cut toupee, which tilts noticeably from side to side as he shifts in his chair. For another, there are Theroux's teeth, which are so badly stained they seem to be carved from the driftwood that dots the nearby Cape Cod shoreline. Never mind his unpleasant habit of hacking up massive gobs of phlegm, which he then expectorates into the Persian carpet at his visitor's feet.

Abstract:
Contrary to popular belief, Tartan Noir is not a synonym for Scottish noir but a mystifying marketing label for a national literature: dark, contemporary Scottish crime fiction. As it comprises an immense diversity of writing done in such mainstream sub-genres as detective, police, and serial killer fiction, as well as actual noir, I will investigate both the contrasts and the crossovers between said sub-genres. I will show that only few of the writers who are most associated with Tartan Noir write much, or any, noir, whereas most of those who do are not commonly associated with the term. With

Abstract:
One of the most striking features of contemporary Scottish fiction has been its shift from the predominantly realist novels of the 1960s and 1970s to an engagement with very different modes of writing, from the mixture of realism and visionary future satire in Alasdair Gray’s Lanark (1981) to the Rabelaisian absurdity and excess of Irvine Welsh’s Filth (1998). This development has received considerable critical attention, energising debates concerning how such writing relates to or challenges familiar tropes of identity and national culture.

Nous remettons d'abord en cause la légitimité de l'antinomie qui oppose la littérature à la " littérature de masse ", dans laquelle est souvent classé le roman policier.

L’équivalence sémantique apparait comme l’approche privilégiée à cette fin, dans les traductions publiées.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>This dissertation analyzes the critique of charity and philanthropy implicit in Melville’s short fiction written for periodicals between 1853 and 1856. Melville utilized narrative and tone to conceal his opposition to prevailing ideologies and manipulated narrative structures to make the reader complicit in the problematic assumptions of a market economy. Integrating close readings with critical theory, I establish that Melville was challenging the new rhetoric of philanthropy that created a moral identity for wealthy men in industr
