    Description: De la guillotine on ne retient jamais que l’effet de rupture, l’effondrement d’un monde auquel la Terreur met un terme, définitivement. C’est oublier que la guillotine s’inscrit dans la mémoire, qu’elle découpe alors un nouvel espace de représentation auquel la peinture, la photographie, le cinématographe, musées de cires et salons de coiffure, se trouvent assujettis... Visages plus purs exaltés par la lunette, visions fugitives - « Un éclair... puis la nuit ! »- qui obéissent à la logique de l’instantané : le fil de la guillotine commande l’exposition romanesque du visage. L’échafaud fonde une scène nouvelle, suscite une constellation d’images et de textes. Singulière machine, -appareil funèbre, -vrai objet de désir. La littérature romanesque du xixe siècle se renouvelle, s’édifie, s’échafaude à partir de la guillotine, avec vue sur la Grève.

    Description: This book raises fundamental questions about the propriety of continuing to use a premedical curriculum developed more than a century ago to select students for training as future physicians for the twenty-first century. In it, Dr. Donald A. Barr examines the historical origins, evolution, and current state of premedical education in the United States. One hundred years ago, Abraham Flexner's report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada helped establish the modern paradigm of premedical and medical education. Barr’s research finds the system of premedical education that evolved to be a poor predictor of subsequent clinical competency and professional excellence, while simultaneously discouraging many students from underrepresented minority groups or economically disadvantaged backgrounds from pursuing a career as a physician. Analyzing more than fifty years of research, Barr shows that many of the best prospects are not being admitted to medical schools, with long-term adverse consequences for the U.S. medical profession. The root of the problem, Barr argues, is the premedical curriculum—which overemphasizes biology, chemistry, and physics by teaching them as separate, discrete subjects. In proposing a fundamental restructuring of premedical education, Barr makes the case for parallel tracks of undergraduate science education: one that would largely retain the current system; and a second that would integrate the life sciences in a problem-based, collaborative learning pedagogy. Barr argues that the new, integrated curriculum will encourage greater educational and social diversity among premedical candidates without weakening the quality of the education. He includes an evaluative research framework to judge the outcome of such a restructured system.This historical and cultural analysis of premedical education in the United States is the crucial first step in questioning the appropriateness of continuing a hundred-year-old, empirically dubious pedagogical model for the twenty-first century.

    Description: Que serait-ce qu’une langue-sœur ? Simple variante d’une langue d’emblée trop maternelle ou débris désordonnés d’une langue du père d’avance perdue ? Lorsqu’on a, comme Rimbaud, deux sœurs, on est bilingue par force : de l’une à l’autre, quelque chose reste, d’intraduisible à jamais.C’est par les consonnes que Rimbaud se trahit, consœurs en nombre de voyelles surexposées ou petites sœurs au sexe tôt dévoyé, qui cependant insistent en-deça des mots à la fin d’étouffer en eux l’incessant murmure d’un inceste sororal. Arthur Rimbaud n’écrira plus après la mort de Vitalie, s’en ira très loin, même ; puis, reviendra mourir auprès d’Isabelle : comme par écho, l’œuvre se renverse dans le miroir des deux sœurs.Tout texte a ses sirènes : voix qui nous leurrent et dont la faiblesse tient à ce pouvoir extrême qu’elles ont de ne se confiner jamais au seul espace que couvre la page, mais de migrer au moyen de tous les mots quotidiennement mis, à toute heure de tout jour, dans toutes les langues en usage, à la disposition de l’humain.

    Description: Le premier des quatre volumes de l’Œdipe roi de Sophocle, paru en 1990, et à présent réédité, comporte une longue introduction méthodique sur les conditions intellectuelles du déchiffrement et sur les données matérielles de la reconstitution (et de la constitution) du texte. Cet essai vaut, au-delà de la pièce, pour l’histoire de la transmission en général. On y trouve une description des différentes classes de manuscrits, avec une étude des habitudes de lecture et des courants d’érudition de Byzance jusqu’aux écoles modernes. Suivent le texte grec avec apparat, et la traduction. Le livre se clôt sur une analyse qui restitue les mètres des chants de chœur et sur un index relatif à l’introduction. Les trois autres volumes contiennent la paraphrase argumentée (l’argument) des unités scéniques, ouvrant une discussion du détail. L’ambition dépasse celle d’un simple commentaire. La présentation prend souvent la forme de dossiers sur des questions de linguistique, de mythologie ou d’histoire des religions. Elle inclut et situe la diversité des constructions possibles, et légitime équitablement le choix de l’éditeur. Elle retrace en effet les conditions dans lesquelles s’est faite la lecture au cours des siècles selon les nations (et les traditions culturelles, politiques et religieuses). L’analyse remonte partiellement jusqu’à la Renaissance, mais répertorie plus systématiquement les opinions soutenues depuis le tournant décisif du xviiie siècle, montant toute une histoire de la philologie. À la fin du dernier volume un index multiple inclut les orientations idéologiques de la critique et les faits de langue et de style.

    Description: Before the Civil War, American writers such as Catharine Maria Sedgwick and Harriet Beecher Stowe had established authorship as a respectable profession for women. But though they had written some of the most popular and influential novels of the century, they accepted the taboo against female writers, regarding themselves as educators and businesswomen. During and after the Civil War, some women writers began to challenge this view, seeing themselves as artists writing for themselves and for posterity.Writing for Immortality studies the lives and works of four prominent members of the first generation of American women who strived for recognition as serious literary artists: Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Elizabeth Stoddard, and Constance Fenimore Woolson. Combining literary criticism and cultural history, Anne E. Boyd examines how these authors negotiated the masculine connotation of "artist," imagining a space for themselves in the literary pantheon. Redrawing the boundaries between male and female literary spheres, and between American and British literary traditions, Boyd shows how these writers rejected the didacticism of the previous generation of women writers and instead drew their inspiration from the most prominent "literary" writers of their day: Emerson, James, Barrett Browning, and Eliot.Placing the works and experiences of Alcott, Phelps, Stoddard, and Woolson within contemporary discussions about "genius" and the "American artist," Boyd reaches a sobering conclusion. Although these women were encouraged by the democratic ideals implicit in such concepts, they were equally discouraged by lingering prejudices about their applicability to women.

    Description: Originally published in 1960. In E. E. Cummings: The Art of His Poetry, Norman Friedman argues that critics who have focused on what Cummings's poetry lacks have failed to judge Cummings on his strengths. Friedman identifies a main strength of Cummings as his being a "sensual mystic." The book unpacks Cummings's subject matter, devices, and symbolism, ultimately helping readers develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Cummings's work.

    Description: Ce titre-calembour est emprunté à Larbaud lui-même, Larbaud des Étivaux, qui cultive en effet, et dans tous les domaines, l’art de ne pas se plier à la loi du sens unique. L’art beau des équivoques, c’est celui de ne pas se laisser emprisonner dans un nom, dans un lieu, dans une langue, dans un amour, bref, dans un destin. Prendre la tangente et faire de l’autre (autres noms, autres lieux, autres langues, autres amours, etc.) la source de ma véritable identité : Valery Larbaud ou l’éloge, merveilleux, de la désobéissance. Entreprise d’autant plus libératrice qu’en dépit de sa gravité, elle se présente de manière constamment joueuse et enjouée.

    Description: Honorable Mention winner in the Modern Language Association's Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize competition for French and Francophone Literary StudiesA major figure in twentieth-century letters, Albert Cohen (1895–1981) left a paradoxical legacy. His heavily autobiographical, strikingly literary, and polyphonic novels and lyrical essays are widely read by a devout public in France, yet have been largely ignored by academia. A self-consciously Jewish writer and activist, Cohen remained nevertheless ambivalent about Judaism. His self-affirmation as a Jew in juxtaposition with his satirical use of anti-Semitic stereotypes still provokes unease in both republican France and institutional Judaism.In Albert Cohen: Dissonant Voices, the first English-language study of this profound and profoundly misunderstood writer, Jack I. Abecassis traces the recurrent themes of Cohen's works. He reveals the dissonant fractures marking Cohen as a modernist, and analyzes the resistance to his work as a symptom of the will not to understand Cohen's main theme—"the catastrophe of being Jewish."For Abecassis, Cohen's diverse oeuvre forms a single "roman fleuve" exploring this perturbing theme through fragmentation and grotesquerie, fantasies and nightmares, the veiling and unveiling of the unspeakable.Abecassis argues that Cohen should not be read exclusively through the prism of European literature (Stendhal, Tolstoy, Proust), but rather as the retelling—inverting and ultimately exhausting, in the form of submerged plots—of the Biblical romances of Joseph and Esther. The romance of the charismatic Court Jew and its performance correlative, the carnival of Purim, generate the logic of Cohen's acute psychological ambivalence, historical consciousness and carnal sensuality—themes which link this modernist author to Genesis as well as to the literary practices of Sephardic crypto-Jews. Abecassis argues that Cohen's best-known work, Belle du Seigneur (1968), besides being an obvious tale of obsessive love and dissolution, is foremost a tale of political intrigue involving Solal, the meteoric-rising Jew in the League of Nations during the period of Appeasement (1936), and his ultimate self-destruction. Providing close readings and imaginative analyses of the entire literary output of one of twentieth-century France's most important Jewish writers, Abecassis presents here a major work of literary scholarship, as well as a broader study of the reception and influence of Jewish thought in French literature and philosophy.

    Description: Fêtée autant que controversée du vivant de son auteur à proportion de son illisibilité, l’œuvre de Maurice Barrès reste close depuis sa mort sur l’énigme dont M. Proust s’émerveillait, énigme de ses attenances et du "développement géminé" sans précédent qui lui fit porter ses fruits "sur les branches de l’action" comme sur celles "de l’art". Le présent ouvrage répond au vœu d’ouvrir cette œuvre longtemps dédaignée à la lecture questionnante et persévérante qu’elle appelle.

    Description: Paris, mai 1946. Francis Ponge et Eugène de Kermadec se rencontrent pour la première fois lors d’une exposition consacrée à ce dernier à la Galerie Louise Leiris. Se jettent alors les bases d’une grande amitié qui durera trente ans ; Le Verre d’eau, recueil de notes et de lithographies, en découlera déjà en 1949. Pourtant, cette complicité n’occupe pas la place qui lui revient dans la critique littéraire et artistique et le public ignore tout ou presque de l’œuvre d’Eugène de Kermadec. Madeline Pampel revient sur les origines méconnues de cette collaboration singulière. Témoignages et documents d’archives à l’appui - dont de nombreux extraits, publiés ici pour la toute première fois -, l’auteur marie éléments biographiques et analyses de textes et de tableaux, afin non seulement d’éclairer l’œuvre de Ponge sous un nouveau jour, mais aussi de faire découvrir au lecteur la peinture de Kermadec.
