    Chapter Introduction (2023)

    Description: Introduction: Aiming to provide a theoretical introduction that further informs the analyses conducted in subsequent chapters, this chapter will review the synergies operating among the different conceptualizations of vulnerability and various well-established theories that explore the materiality of the body and its affects from multifold viewpoints. Divided into three sections, the first explores some of the most salient critical proposals related to vulnerability and the body by manifesting the semantic multiplicity that applies to these terms. This is a necessary step to sketch an operational frame in which to contextualize the literary and filmic research endeavor of the collection. The second section ponders on the ethical and aesthetic features that make possible the integration of complementary and competing configurations of vulnerability in the production of literary texts and audiovisual productions and explores its salient elements that place literature and film as a privileged sites of expansion, critical reflection, and challenge of vulnerability both as a universal condition as well as a particular and specific manifestation in historical, geopolitical, social, and cultural and natural dimensions. Finally, the chapter closes with a brief description of the twelve essays collected in the volume by discussing their organizational logics and their distinct contribution to it.

    Description: Tabish Khair’s Just Another Jihadi Jane (2014) explores the global phenomenon of female suicide bombers after the emergence of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and the international reconfiguration of geopolitical power after 9/11. Khair tells the story of Jamilla and Ameena, two British teenage girls of South Asian Muslim descent who decide to join Islamic State in their search for their religious ideal of Islamic truth and their impending need for belonging and recognition. This chapter analyzes the multi-dimensional complexity of vulnerability exposed both in the story thematization and in the narrative mode of fictional testimony (Ganteau 2015). Firstly, it describes the story emplotment vertebrated along two different axes: the socioeconomic and cultural context that articulates vulnerability as precarity (Butler 2004; 2009) and the conditions of the precariat (Standing 2011); and female vulnerability to oppression and patriarchal violence after the girls move to Syria. Secondly, this chapter investigates the materiality of the narrative medium of fictional testimony as a precarious yet creative vehicle to expose vulnerability. Ultimately, this chapter contends that Khair’s story and narrative form particularize the stereotyped jihadi Jane, shattering to pieces the sociopolitical ungrievability imposed on their différance (Derrida 1968) and their wasted lives (Bauman 2004).

    Description: Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach (2017) narrates the misadventures of young Irish Catholic Anna Kerrigan in her pursuit of a diving career in the New York docks during WWII. These misadventures are heavily conditioned by the accumulation of a series of structural vulnerabilities intersecting class, gender, religion, immigration, and disability, as well as political and economic corruption, which are emphasized against the backdrop of an impossible American Dream. The structural oppressions visibilized by Egan in this novel will thus serve to reflect on how the purported national invulnerability underlying USA’s imperialism in the second half of the 20th century was in fact based on obscuring national vulnerabilities that strongly resonate at the beginning of the new millennium. This chapter explores Egan’s formal experimentation with historical fiction as a calculated risk that draws its narrative strengths from the spectacularization of vulnerability while exposing the novel’s formal belatedness as a case of vulnerable narrative.

    La transmission de savoirs licites et illicites dans le monde hispanique péninsulaire (XIIe au XVIIe siècles) : Hommage (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Midi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Ces pages que nous dédions à notre cher collègue André Gallego sont en grande partie le fruit d’un colloque sur la « Transmission de savoirs liâtes et illicites dans le monde hispanique (XIIe-XVIIe siècles) » qui a eu lieu à l’Université de Toulouse les 19, 20 et 21 mai 2008. Nous avons pu compter sur la participation de spécialistes issus de différentes disciplines universitaires, notamment des domaines de la littérature, la littérature comparée, l’histoire et l’histoire de l’art, ce qui nous a permis de créer un lieu d’échange interdisciplinaire pour les chercheurs des diverses équipes de l’UTM ainsi que pour un nombre important d’invités venus autres universités françaises et étrangères. À ce premier groupe de chercheurs sont venus s’ajouter d’autres collègues qui ont souhaité témoigner leur amitié pour André Gallego et lui rendre hommage. Le volume inclut également les actes de journée d’étude organisée par Teresa Rodriguez. « Avatars de la transmission », que nous avons décidé de publier en fin de volume. Transmission : c’est de la façon dont se transmet le savoir qu’il s’agit et non simplement du savoir transmis. Cette transmission se fait-elle oralement, visuellement, par le biais de textes, dans les institutions, ou dans le cadre de la vie privée ? Liée à la transmission, certains se sont intérrogés sur la réception de ce savoir : était-on plus perméable au savoir à partir d’une transmission par la parole ou par l’image ? La réception des idées était-elle liée au degré d’éducation ou au milieu social ? Le thème choisi a été ainsi traité selon des méthodes et des points de vue différents mais qui convergent sur une question centrale : la transmission du savoir, si chère à notre collègue.

    Pratiques hagiographiques dans l’Espagne du Moyen-Âge et du Siècle d’Or. Tome (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Midi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Pratiques hagiographiques II est la continuation de Pratiques hagiographiques dans l’Espagne du Moyen Âge et du Siècle d’Or, paru en 2005. Dans le volume que nous présentons ici sont traitées des questions concernant la littérature et l’histoire, l’histoire de l’art, le folklore, la religion et la théologie, au cours d’une longue période mieux caractérisée par son homogénéité que par ses différences internes, qui est celle du Moyen Âge et du Siècle d’Or espagnols. Chacun de ces deux grands moments a privilégié des thèmes et des angles d’approche spécifiques : pour le Moyen Âge, la modélisation héroïque du saint et la réorientation de l’hagiographie vers la narration de miracles spectaculaires ; pour le Siècle d’Or, l’élaboration et le contrôle de l’image de la sainteté dans le contexte de la Contre-Réforme, enjeux qui apparaissent nettement dans la comedia de santos et tout particulièrement dans les figures des saints au travail. Les rencontres scientifiques dont rendent compte ces pages, outre les échanges enrichissants qu’elles ont permis, témoignent de l’importance de l’interdisciplinarité dans ce genre de projet.
