“Magic Portraits Drawn by the Sun”: New Orleans, Yellow Fever, and the sense(s) of death in Josh Russell’s Yellow Jack by Owen Robinson

“…This article will focus upon Josh Russell’s 1999 novel Yellow Jack, which provides a complex portrait of the mid-nineteenth-century city, its fever epidemics, and its conflicting narratives. As well as providing an intense fictional encounter with a formative period in New Orleans’s history, Yellow Jack is a sophisticated study of the role of visual imagery in documenting such horrors, whose prose is steeped in the smells and sounds of the time and place. …”

Être expulsé ou interné à Djelfa aux siècles derniers (1893 ; 1942) by Danièle Iancu-Agou

“…The meeting ten years ago, in Jerusalem, of Benjamin Lubelski (died since), created the moral necessity to publish his testimony, and to enrich it with elements on these other exiles: the prince Duong Chakr died in Djelfa, and famous prisoner Max Aub, who fought for the Spanish Republic and whose writings on " The graveyard of Djelfa " oddly respond to the narration of Lubelski. Finally, a last link in this chain of friendship, Marceau Gast, familiar with the "boundaries of Sahara", contributed to the publication of this text.…”

Synthèse croisée by Sian Sullivan, Michèle Baussant, Lindsey Dodd, Olivette Otele, Irène Dos Santos

La fabrique de l’homme objet dans Lolita de Stanley Kubrick by Emmanuelle Delanoë-Brun

“…Humbert Humbert, as viewed by Stanley Kubrick, appears as yet another representation of the objectified male gradually losing control over the story he at least partially narrates. Still, the character’s progressive dispossession also appears as the condition of his humanistic re-evaluation, in a motion that is characteristic of Kubrick’s constant exploration of the multiple tensions that shape the very definition of humanity, in a paradoxical approach where distance bridges moral, emotional and intellectual gaps, where reiterated contradictions testify to a consistent body of interrogations, where tension, in the end, features as the main condition of humanity.…”

« Petits poèmes en prose » : la forme poétique dans Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Isabelle Gadoin

“…Alongside with awkward passages when the narrator launches into abstract meditations against morals, society or fate, other moments can be found in his novels when the author briefly seems to forsake any concern for realistic description, and to suggest instead enchanted instants of communion between his characters and the world of nature, which transfigure the whole of perception. …”

“The Enchanted Hunters and the Hunted Enchanters: the dizzying effects of embedded structures and meta-artistic devices in Lolita, novel and film” by Marie Bouchet

“…This paper explores some of the various mises en abyme and metatextual devices in Nabokov’s and Kubrick’s Lolita, so as to explore how such devices create a poetics of reflections, and themselves reflect the manner in which the relationship to the reader/spectator is engaged by the literary and filmic narratives. As underscored by Lucien Dallenbach, internal duplications or self-reflexive devices are double-layered: they serve a purpose in the fictional universe, and have a reflexive function aimed at disclosing one of the text’s components. …”

2000-2015 : un âge d’or du format webdocumentaire by Michaël Bourgatte

“…Dozens of projects were launched, especially between 2000 and 2015, renewing the documentary film genre thanks to the potential of digital technology and the Internet: the presence of text, graphic elements, and a whole range of services and options that allow the emergence of delinearized, sliding or playful narratives. However, from 2015 onwards, the web (or interactive) documentary will experience a clear downturn, which can be explained in several ways: it is technically difficult to create, share and archive; its content is generally serious or scholarly, which distances it from the commonly playful nature of cinema, but also from the most widespread uses of the web, which are essentially recreational; audiences sometimes have difficulty in understanding the proposals made to them; finally, with no economic model and therefore no commercial perspectives, funders will gradually begin to distance themselves from web (or interactive) documentaries…”
