Language shifts in the language biographies of immigrants from Upper Silesia residing in Germany
2020
Abstract The main objective of the article is to illustrate how language ideologies and language management at the macro-level (state language policy), micro-level (in families) and meso-level (local communities) influence language change and the conceptualization of multilingualism of immigrants from Upper Silesia residing in Germany. Language biographies of persons from Silesia demonstrate the significant influence of historical and political events on sociolinguistic processes. Original fragments of biographical interviews of the people surveyed constitute an integral part of the text.

Living autobiographically: Concepts of aging and artistic expression in painting and modern dance.
2016
This article discusses the ways in which artists have incorporated or failed to incorporate the aging process of their bodies into their art. Using Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and the French painter Claude Monet as cases in point, we explore situations in which physical changes brought about by aging compromises artists' ability to engage with their artistic medium. Connecting Monet's oeuvre and Baryshnikov's dance performances to life writing accounts, we draw on John Paul Eakin's concept of "living autobiographically": In this vein, life writing research does not only have to take into account concepts of identity as they emerge from life writing narratives, but it also need…
Raconter ses lectures, se raconter : plaisir de lire, identité et émancipation chez Alison Bechdel
2017
National audience; Cette communication interroge l’importance donnée aux liens entre plaisir de lire et identité (en particulier identité lesbienne) dans les récits autobiographiques d’Alison Bechdel. Celle-ci met en scène une première opposition entre les lectures d’enfance, caractérisée par l’immersion narrative, et les lectures légitimes que son père tente de lui imposer à mesure qu’elle grandit, avec une injonction à lire qu’elle finit par intérioriser. Cette opposition prend une valeur plus directement identitaire lorsque la lecture obligatoire de Ulysses à l’université est systématiquement opposée à la lecture d’un corpus varié d’œuvres gays et lesbiennes au moment de l’éveil politiqu…
Penser la frontière entre essai et autobiographie à partir de la bande dessinée. Are You My Mother? d'Alison Bechdel
2018
Based on Alison Bechdel's autobiographical essay Are You My Mother?, this article is a discussion on two boundaries of the essay : a generic boundary between essay and autobiography, questioned by the possibility of autobiographical essay, and an intermedial boundary challenged by the development of graphic essays in comics. Are You My Mother? is a self-reflexive autobiographical work which describes the author's discovery of psychoanalysis and deals at the same time with mother-child relationships and the continuity between novel writing, autobiography and psychoanalysis, thus articulating autobiographical material and general thoughts. The book can be described in particular as a consiste…

Angiolo Mazzoni
2015
Engineer and Architect, Mazzoni is famous for his numerous projects and completed works, mainly comprising public buildings, train stations and post offices. In 1919 he obtained a degree in engineering at the Scuola di Applicazione per Ingegneri, where he studied under G. Giovannoni, G.B. Milani, and V. Fasolo. Subsequently he attended Bologna’s Accademia di Belle Arti, where he obtained a degree in architecture in 1923 As most of his work presents a wide use of experimentation and different styles, it is hard to find a common denominator. Moreover, during his training he was also influenced by the monumental and traditional styles typical of Piacentini, whose studio Mazzoni frequented for …

Retour à l'auteur
2015
Au tournant des années 70, la République des Lettres est en deuil. On avait proclamé la "mort de l'auteur", devenu une voix anonyme ; le personnage de l'écrivain - son visage, sa signature -, disparu, le texte existait par lui-même, hors de toute origine. Le "moment théorique" de la littérature française s'est éloigné, à mesure que faisaient retour la figure de l'auteur et le biographique. Mais le soupçon a laissé des traces. A l'aube du XXIe siècle, ce collectif s'interroge ainsi sur la place et la légitimité de l'auteur, partagé entre la tentation du repli sur l'écriture et le souci du monde.
