Le Second Voyage de Rudolf Kassner (1873-1959) : Souvenirs de voyages et écriture de soi
2010
Introduction : Kassner et l’écriture de soi Souvent encore, le nom de Rudolf Kassner est évoqué par la critique indirectement, notamment à l’occasion de travaux concernant d’autres écrivains qui lui étaient contemporains et qui, comme Rainer Maria Rilke ou Hugo von Hofmannsthal, sont désormais entrés définitivement dans le panthéon de la littérature européenne. Il suffit de mentionner, à propos du premier, l’ouvrage de Gerhart Mayer, Rilke und Kassner – Eine geistige Begegnung, et, à ...
The Genealogy of Personal Names: towards a more productive method in historical onomastics
2011
It is essential to combine genealogical and collective biographical approaches with network analysis if one wants to take full advantage of the evidence provided by (hereditary) personal names in historical and linguistic onomastic research. The naming practices of rural families and clans from the 18th to the 20th century can bring us much fresh information about their enduring attitudes and values, as well as about other mentalities of everyday life. Personal names were cultural symbols that contained socially shared meanings. With the help of genealogical method it is possible to obtain a more nuanced understanding of these past naming practices, for example by comparing the conventions …
He Is All American Now”: Italian–Americans in the Italian Campaign of World War II
2022
This chapter aims to analyze the case of the Italian–Americans' participation in World War II. It is an interesting case study to focus on issues connected to the processes of constructing multifaceted identities that characterize ethnicity. In 1943, in view of the invasion of Italy, the US asked Italian–Americans to fight against their ancestor country. Nonetheless, they were encouraged to exploit their idealistic roots and their “ethnical” competence to facilitate a “good occupation.” Biographies of Italian–Americans that were in Italy will help us to examine the interplay between Italianness and Americanization in war experience.

Inquiétants dépaysements. Les voyages mélancoliques de Germaine de Staël (1803-1814)
2016
The Coppet group, a circle of thinkers around 1800, put displacement and the crossing of borders at the heart of its productions. Born out of a sense of national disaffiliation, the group plays a founding experimental role for the consciousness of the subject in travel narratives. Soliciting travel as much in the exploration of a country as in philosophy and knowledge, Germaine de Staël's De l'Allemagne is both a travel narrative and a metaphysical breviary. In a tone close to autobiography, the author observes an inner region rather than a foreign country.
