Transactions en eaux troubles : résurgences de la voix shakespearienne dans Moby-Dick by Ronan Ludot-Vlasak

“…This resurgence of the Shakespearean voice is double: although the dramatic element in the novel is often associated with the figure of Ahab, Ishmael also incorporates Shakespearean lines into his narrative. What characterises these (inter)textual transactions is that instead of quoting directly from Shakespeare’s plays, Melville often blurs references in order to appropriate the works of his predecessor. …”

Paul Auster’s 4 3 2 1. Past Paradigms by I. B. Siegumfeldt

“…There is something strange about a cast of characters that comes in tetrads centering on duplicate yet different protagonists with identical names, and critics who argue that Auster’s mastodon novel, 4 3 2 1, marks a return to realism fail to take into account the inflated tone of the fabular woven into the texture of the narrative. Auster has worked with alternativity before, but 4 3 2 1 takes his penchant for unknowability to a new level. …”

Las perlas de Rosa (1914) de Aurora Cáceres: una bella muerte. Imaginarios estético-ideológicos modernistas de entre siglos en clave femenina by Elena Grau-Lleveria

“…The lines of critical analysis that I propose in this article address the configuration of the novel's aesthetic-ideological languages and its narrative structure. This allows me to analyze the life and the vital crisis of the protagonist as a staging of the political struggle that Cáceres developed in this text to propose an ideology of representation of femininity different from those proposed by the modernists but within a modernist aesthetic languages.…”

Les mots maoris dans The Bone People de Keri Hulme : exotisme et intimisme by Alice Braun

“…This paper shows how the use of Maori words in the English text may be accused of participating in a strategy of “exoticisation” of the text, though they still have a strong symbolic meaning within the economy of the narrative. They materialise a whole community’s alienation from nature and from their own culture, and they also allow Hulme to delineate new forms of love and family ties that are yet to be invented.…”

El Métraux haitiano. La construcción de una etnología religiosa by Fernando Giobellina Brumana

“…Métraux achieves several key theoretical and methodological innovations in this book: 1. the search for a kind of ritual syntax; 2. a focus on real practices instead of lettered formations of the cult; 3. an acknowledgement that voodoo is unmistakably Haitian and that its roots are European as much as African; 4. a rejection of the assumption that the Catholicism of voodoo adepts would be mere deception; 5. the identification of a narrative level where stories of the gods’ avatars are replaced by tales of their interventions in the life of humans. …”
