The Back Cover as a Place for Creating an Image of Translated Literature: Polish Translations of French-Canadian Novels (2000-2016) The back cover of a book contains peritext added by the publisher, with a double function of information (about the author and the work) and invitation to read the book. That is why it also becomes the place where publishers decide on a certain image of the books. For this study, we have collected back cover texts from French-Canadian novels which were published in the Polish translation in the years 2000-2016, and we have considered them as a certain image of this literature given to the Polish reader by the publishers. These texts are also a source of information about this literature for the readers. The results of the analysis of the covers of 27 novels published in Poland in the studied period allow us to state that this image is deformed and simplified: it does not reflect the language and regional differences of Canadian literature today. The works themselves belong to such genres as fantasy, thriller or chick lit: they are attractive, pleasant to read, often awarded and adapted for the screen. The “cover image” of the French-Canadian literature given by Polish translations reflects rather the strategy of their publishers: it seems that their choices of translated works are directed mainly by economic prudence.

La musique a une capacité unique à susciter des réponses émotionnelles et psychophysiologiques intenses. Ces moments – appelés « chills », « thrills », « frissons », etc. – sont aussi bien sujets à l’introspection et au débat philosophique, qu’à l’étude scientifique de la perception et de la cognition musicales. Cet article, qui intègre une littérature pluridisciplinaire existante, tente de définir un modèle qui soit compréhensible, vérifiable et écologiquement valide, pour rendre compte de moments psychophysiologiques transcendants en musique.

L'entrée de Gianrico Carofiglio sur la scène littéraire, en 2002, a permis l'affirmation d'un genre qui, jusque-là, semblait l'apanage de la production américaine. Le roman de procédure italien, écrit par des juristes et offrant une représentation réaliste de l'univers judiciaire, est en plein essor en Italie et rencontre un lectorat important. Cette thèse tente d'en dégager les spécificités et d'en expliquer le succès au travers de l'analyse des cinq romans centrés sur le personnage de ''l'avvocato Guerrieri"
The entry of Gianrico Carofiglio on the literary scene in 2002 allowed the affirmation of a genre that until then seemed the preserve of the American production. The ltalian legal thriller, written by jurists and offering a realistic representation of the judiciary, is growing in Italy and meets an important readershp. This thesis attempts to identify its specificities and explain its success through the analysis of the five novels centered on the character of the avvocato Guerrieri

Cette « enquête » sur le secret dans À la recherche du temps perdu s’attache à montrer que le secret, parce qu’il fonctionne comme une thématique romanesque engageant la structure même du récit, permet de saisir la tension, au sein de l’œuvre proustienne, entre une conception positiviste de la narration et du sens largement tributaire des modèles épistémologiques du XIXe siècle et sa mise en question, qui caractérise la production romanesque du XXe siècle. L’analyse des figures et des motifs récurrents du secret, en relation avec la fortune de la notion dans l’histoire des idées et des formes romanesques au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, montre que se développe dans la Recherche un imaginaire empreint à la fois d’une mythologie personnelle et de thématiques héritées du roman policier et du roman d’aventures. L’analyse des techniques narratives fournissant au roman sa structure énigmatique permet ensuite de dégager le « parcours herméneutique » proposé au lecteur sur les traces du héros-narrateur : sa dynamique, qui témoigne de l’émergence d’un paradigme indiciaire accompagnant le renouvellement des sciences humaines, est progressivement minée par l’émergence d’une autre logique, fondée sur l’indétermination du sens et la multiplicité des points de vue. Enfin, l’analyse de « l’entre-deux » générique et interprétatif montre que l’œuvre proustienne propose une expérience de lecture qui ouvre la voie à une conception de l’interprétation fondée sur la prise en compte des possibles mis en jeu par l’écriture fictionnelle
This investigation about the secret in À la recherche du temps perdu attempts to show that the secret, as a fiction theme involving the very structure of the narrative, allows to seize the tense, within Proust’s work, between a positivist conception, both of the narration and of the meaning, broadly dependent upon the 19th century models of epistemology, and its questioning, which characterizes the fiction production of the 20th century. The analysis of figures and recurring patterns of the secret, related to the success of this notion in the history of ideas and novel writing forms at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries, shows that Proust’s imaginary world in la Recherche is marked by both his own myths and themes inherited from the detective and adventures novel. Then, the analysis of the narrative technique, which gives its enigmatic structure to the novel, makes it possible to identify the “hermeneutic journey” proposed to the reader in the footsteps of the hero-narrator: its dynamic, reflecting the emergence of an evidential paradigm accompanying the renewal of human sciences, is gradually undermined by the emergence of a different logic, based on the indeterminacy of meaning and the multiplicity of viewpoints. Lastly, the analysis of the generic and interpretative “entre-deux” shows that Proust’s work proposes an experience of reading which paves the way for a conception of interpretation based on the consideration of the textual virtualities involved by fictional writing

In her novel The Postcard, Anne Berest proposes the reconstruction of the identity of her maternal ancestors, the Rabinovitchs. The pretext which relaunches this search for identity and its fictionalization is none other than an anonymous postcard received in 2003 in his parents’ home. This card presents the image of the Opera and on the back are written four first names: Ephraïm, Emma, Noémie, Jacques, who died at Auschwitz in 1942. In 2019, Anne Berest and her mother set out to elucidate the questions surrounding this postcard; the investigation required by the fictionalization of biographical and chronological data is coupled with a quest for identity and memory. Under the guise of a thriller, the story presents the story of the Rabinovitchs doomed to exodus and, therefore, to new foundations, driven by the significant events of the 20th century. In the conquest of the right to likeness, two distinct levels are felt: the other’s view of the protagonists and the Frenchness of the writer. Finally, the fictional devices allow him to show that the past is migrant, as well as the desire for belonging and linguistic and sociocultural resemblance.
