Splendeur et décadence: la représentation de la société et de la ville dans Une liaison parisienne de Marie-Claire Blais
2011
En Une liaison parisienne (1975), Marie-Claire Blais sitúa la acción en Paris, una ciudad idealizada por Mathieu Lelièvre, un joven quebequense que viaja a Francia. Su recorrido por la capital francesa permite caracterizar dicha ciudad y los personajes que viven en ella. A través de la evocación del espacio, esta novela cuestiona los estereotipos tradicionales, la identidad nacional francesa y pone en evidencia la hipocresía y las injusticias que caracterizan la sociedad parisina. En este estudio observaremos cómo el espacio urbano se convierte en el reflejo de la decadencia de toda una élite social. La novela subraya, sin embargo, la existencia de una Francia diferente, humilde y amable, q…
Problemes de la periodització en història de la llengua
2021
El treball analitza l’adequació de les perioditzacions de la història de la llengua catalana amb l’objectiu proposar-ne una que siga compatible amb el caràcter social de què actualment pretenen revestir-se la majoria de les històries de la llengua. Així, es considera fora de lloc el tractament d’algun període previ a l’existència de la llengua catalana, com la de la romanització, i es rebutja alguna etiqueta que és una tradició inventada, com la de la reconquista. La proposta d’una periodització es resumeix en quatre etapes basades en factors sociolingüístics: sorgiment, consciència, plenitud i conflicte lingüístic. The work analyses how of suitable are the periodizations of the history of …
"Sprawa Bourgeta" – czyli co właściwie łączy Sienkiewiczowskie "Bez dogmatu" z Bourgetowskim "Le Disciple"?
2018
It is a common critical tradition to compare a Polish novel and a French one. The article attempts to examine this phenomenon and to State exactly what (or no) relations between both texts, by searching critical judgments of the time and by analyzing the same texts’ level. There are following parallels (typologically, but not genetically determined) to be confirmed: anti-positivist and idealistic attitude of both authors, which have seen their texts as manifestos of outlook ; an intertextual potency of the novels, close related to their hypo- and hypertexts; as well as several, although superficial similarities of stories’ plots. The most convincing, however, there are the real differences:…

Comparative Decadence? Male Queerness in Late Nineteenth- and Late Twentieth-Century Fiction
2018
Emig’s chapter compares Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library. After outlining the different historical contexts of queer masculinity in the novels, it points out parallels, such as its legal repression in late Victorianism and at the time of the AIDS crisis under Thatcher. Wilde’s novel provokes with homoerotic longing, Hollinghurst’s with pornographic depictions of gay sex. Both texts are decadent fantasies, yet also criticise double standards of hegemonic masculinity and heteronormativity. Hollinghurst’s novel further exposes its Wildean subtext as class-ridden and colonial. In addition, the scandalous male as narcissistic consumer of …

Peace as a Priority
2012
Chapter 9 underlines how since its inception the European Union has presented itself to the world as a great “peace project”. The European project consists in creating a “community of peace and democracy” based on the conviction that peace does not emerge from dissuasion but rather out of cooperation. Europe attempts to remodel the world by realising the Kantian dream of “perpetual peace”, which is not based on the balance of military powers (or the supremacy of one of them) but rather on the universal recognition of the dignity of the human being, on the universal guarantee of human rights, and on sustainable human development, which means superseding the current neoliberal model of global…
‘Internationalizing Pearl Craigie’
2018
International audience; My presentation focuses on Pearl Craigie (aka John Oliver Hobbes), arguably a key figure of cosmopolitan fin de siècle. Born in the U.S. but educated in Britain and partly in France, Craigie became overnight famous with Some Emotions and a Moral in 1891 although the novella was published in Fisher T. Unwin’s Pseudonymous Series. In 1892 Craigie converted to Catholicism while embarking on a series of tales, plays, journalistic contributions including travelogues, and novels with a noted internationalistic vein. If her position within British Decadence is arguably debatable, her cosmopolitanism is not: from her personal networks to her literary writings including her j…
