“We’ve only missed an emergent phenomenon in Standard British English!”: the mirative ONLY in contemporary colloquial English by Jim WALKER

“…The article goes on to tie it in with two other constructions which are equally posited to be relatively recent in origin and geographically restricted in scope, namely the narrative use of the Present Perfect and hendiadic GO AND + V structures and speculates as to the degree to which these three separate developments may have been mutually reinforced.…”

Samotny smakosz albo krótki przewodnik po komiksowych przedstawieniach konsumpcji by Michał Traczyk

“…If the authors, however, decide to depict food, they do so in large part to achieve a few specific purposes: emphasize the characteristics of the characters, deconstruct the seriousness of the narrative, and introduce humorous elements. All of this takes place on two levels: aesthetic (from realistic to cartoonish) and existential (eating is one of the most ordinary day-to-day activities). …”

Islam, Muslims, and the Coloniality of Being: Reframing the Debate on Race and Religion in Modernity by Iskander Abbasi

“… This article aims to more thoroughly intersect the figure of the Muslim into the framework of the coloniality of being, and into the narrative of race and religion in modernity. Two areas of concern are investigated: First, how Islamophobia aided in forming the coloniality of being in ways that decolo-nial scholarship – namely that of leading Latin American decolonial thinker, Nelson Maldonado-Torres – is seemingly unaware of or downplays, and second, how a rereading of a number of the key events and figures that define a decolonial discourse on race and religion, such as the Valladolid debates (1550-1551) and the figure of Christopher Columbus, help to more rigorously conceptualize the figure of the Muslim in relation to the coloniality of being. …”

“Like journeying through a painting”: Travel Writing and the Exploration of Textual Boundaries in Rachel Cusk’s The Last Supper by Isabelle RANNOU

“…Punctuating the written recollection of the travels, several reproductions of paintings and holiday snapshots seem to prolong Cusk’s attempt to capture the transitory nature of the ordinary while allowing the reader to assess the respective powers of the narrative and its visual illustrations to do so. The resulting collaboration of the verbal and visual mediums delineates another quest of the text which, beyond exploring the formal devices of the genre, eventually celebrates the figure of the artist.…”

Cartographier l’incartographiable ? Retour sur la mise en place d’une cartographie collaborative institutionnelle pour la végétalisation urbaine participative à paris by Carolina Mudan Marelli, Ornella Zaza

“…Faced with the richness of the practices, imaginaries and interactions that characterize inhabitants practices of greening, the online cartographic representation shows, on the one hand, a flattening of the reality on the ground, induced by the dominant logics of quantification and cataloguing, and on the other hand, distorts the Parisian narrative about urban nature, which is built around figures that dialogue more in an international than in a local political arena. …”

The Uses and the Limits of the Short Story: The Function of Character Migration in Alice Munro’s Lives of Girls and Women by Jacob HOVIND

“…But she also allows her characters to live beyond each individual story, showing how they survive their climactic epiphanies and incorporate them into the larger narrative of their lives. In so doing, Munro challenges the usual distinction between the novel and the short story, illuminating what each genre is uniquely equipped to perform in terms of the presentation of character, while also suggesting the limits inherent in each.…”

Comment Hollywood figure l’intériorité dans les films « hollywoodiens » de David Lynch, Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Dr. (2001) et Inland Empire (2006) by David ROCHE

“…The author contends that the films offer more than a satirical representation of a corrupt, unhealthy system which threatens dreams and artistic creativity, or a parodic play on Hollywood genre and narrative conventions. Rather, Hollywood is a character, a presence, revealed as both horizontal and vertical, physical and abstract, evoking the city, the studio system, cinema and dreams, so that the satire, the visual motifs and clichés and the topography of Hollywood, and the references to Hollywood films, constitute a complex fabric of subjectivity and interiority.…”

Os discursos do etnólogo, do filósofo e do ficcionistana estrutura do romance Nove noites by Cid Ottoni Bylaardt

“…This text seeks, therefore, to reflect upon how the fictionseizes the discourse of human sciences in order to put it in question, in amovement similar to Derrida‟s thinking in the permanent deconstructionism‟sinterpellation to the scientific discourse. The narrative, which at first seemed tolead to the solution of a crime, like in a detective story, frustrates the reader‟sexpectations, dissolving what seemed to be a consistent trajectory of astructureerected around a solid center.…”
