"For beyond this trading community lies family life" : filiation et écriture dans Crossing the River
2016
This paper examines the relationship between filiation, affiliation and writing in Crossing the River. First, it examines the diversity of literary genres incorporated, revisited and juxtaposed in a novel often defined by its polyphonic structure. This analysis leads to a study of the ways in which family ties, and particularly the links between parents and children, are staged in the text through a complex pattern of repetitions and inversions. The echoes which connect, and sometimes oppose, the various parts of the novel suggest that repetition and inversion are the tools through which family identity is constructed throughout the novel. The reason behind these textual strategies may also…
Musicotherapy and narrative creations with an adolescent admitted to thepediatric hematology-oncology department
2019
This groundbreaking study focuses on the link between music-therapy and narrativity in a pediatric hematology-oncology unit. The goal is to observe and analyse the psychic processes in this therapeutic mediation. We aim to study the creative processes through the narrative productions of a sick and hospitalized teenagers. The interest of this original work with regard to previous research is to focus on the internal mechanisms of the patient and his narrative identity rather than on the active ingredient and the therapeutic method itself or its effect on a particular symptom. Based on a clinical situation of a young man of 19 years followed in onco-hematology, authors show how the creation …

2017

Civilization and sexual abuse: selected Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience
2019
This paper offers a contrastive analysis of Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience. Indian captivity narratives describe the ordeals of white women and men, kidnapped by Indians, who were separated from their families and subsequently lived months or even years with Indian tribes. The Native American boarding-school experience, which began in the late nineteenth century, took thousands of Indian children from their parents for the purpose of “assimilation to civilization” to be facilitated through governmental schools, thereby creating a captivity of a different sort. Through an examination of these two different types of narratives, this paper reveal…
Parlers populaires et paysans dans la fiction en prose (XVIe-XVIIe siècles)
2018
In fictional narrative and comedy of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, staging lower-class or country people is a pretext to make up a comic stereotype. One of the main attributes of this stereotype is the use of a low language level, a faulty French, soiled by regionalisms. To this « popular » French language are often associated dull-wittedness, naivety, foolishness, as well as conversations limited on common place subjects. This linguistic standard is often presented on the occasion of a dialogue with a learned, well-read and refined interlocutor. Contrasting standards make laugh and disqualify as rough some uses and turns of phrase of French, at the time when grammatical and stylisti…
Language students and emerging identities
2012
The aim of our article is to study written narratives as a way of expressing emerging identities as second language (L2) users. We compare narratives written by Finnish students of Swedish during their first semester (24 essays) with data collected after the third year of study (9 essays), thereby trying to figure out how the university context has affected the development of the students as L2 users. L2 learning is regarded as a complex project entailing constant identity formation as a plurilingual subject. We see identity as a process, as something flexible, hybrid and multifaceted. Identity evolves in participation and it always includes a temporal dimension. The language learning proce…
La labor silenciosa de lo positivo
2015
Resumen El trabajo se ocupa de reflexionar sobre el concepto de muerte. Se podria simplificar aun mas: se ocupa de reflexionar sobre la muerte. La reflexion no lleva a una respuesta, sino a la apertura de un panorama utilizando herramientas de la poesia, la filosofia y la medicina. Con este fin se recurre a Cesar Vallejo como triple detonante de partida para construir una estructura de tres partes acudiendo a Diego Gracia, Julian Marias y Pedro Lain Entralgo. De cada uno se toman conceptos determinantes que encaucen la reflexion en un sentido espiral que permita al lector ampliar la panoramica sobre las preguntas: ?que pasa hoy con la muerte? ?Quien es ese sujeto al que le acontece la muert…
The mediation of subtitling in the narrative construction of migrant and/or marginalized stories
2020
Media products, cultures and the arts have recently been transformed by migration, and these cultural and aesthetic transformations have contributed to re-shaping identities, ethnicities, distant societies, and minority groups. The growing interest in migratory aesthetics has brought into representation marginalized subjectivities in ways that depart from migrant depictions in the conventional media (e.g., the news bulletins) and the oversimplified and manipulated stories of marginalization in networked mainstream platforms. Against the backdrop of narrative theory and accessibility as a new terrain of human rights practice, this study examines the subtitling activity of what I identify as …
Discretionary Fiscal Policies over the Cycle: New Evidence Based on the ESCB Disaggregated Approach
2012
This paper explores how discretionary fiscal policies on the revenue side of the government budget have reacted to economic fluctuations in European Union countries. For this purpose, it uses data on legislated revenue changes and structural indicators provided twice per year by National Central Banks of European Union countries in the ESCB framework for analysing fiscal policy. The analysis is based on the estimation of fiscal policy rules linking these measures of legislated fiscal policy changes to the output gap and other control variables. Then, baseline results are compared with regression estimates where variations of cyclically-adjusted indicators are used as proxy for discretionary…
