MANIFESTE/S
- 2013
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Le numéro MANIFESTE/S d’Études littéraires (44.3) s’intéresse à la dynamique du « collectif » et du « singulier » qui a marqué le genre manifestaire dès son origine. Si cette tension reste implicite dans la forme d’adresse plurielle des manifestes d’avant-garde de la première moitié du XXe siècle, elle relève d’une problématique cruciale pour comprendre les enjeux des manifestes contemporains. Ce questionnement se trouve au cœur des contributions du numéro MANIFESTE/S qui aborde les évolutions les plus récentes du manifeste en s’appuyant notamment sur des textes produits depuis les années 1960. Les cas d’étude, issus de domaines de la création (arts plastiques, littérature, danse, art numérique) et d’espaces géographiques (majoritairement européens) divers, offrent un panorama documenté des formes contemporaines de ce genre littéraire et artistique. Les articles s’organisent autour de trois axes qui sont autant d’hypothèses concernant les évolutions du manifeste: la tendance à la disparition du nom du groupe au profit du nom propre de l’artiste, l’émergence d’un imaginaire “mythographique” du manifeste et, finalement, la fonction du manifeste comme facteur d’institutionnalisation des champs artistiques nouveaux. La nature transdisciplinaire et l’ancrage contemporain de ces contributions brossent des parcours de recherche innovants et sont susceptibles d’intéresser un public très large, des spécialistes du secteur littéraire et artistique aux passionnés de création contemporaine.

Manufacturing Europe : spaces of democracy, diversity and communication
- 2009
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book brings together leading European specialists in theories of the public sphere, media and democracy. It explores current key problems of communication, democracy and diversity, and how these are intertwined as part of media practice. Integrating geographical, historical and multicultural approaches, it develops existing thought on public sphere and democracy. In particular, it focuses on three dimensions that reflect obstacles to the European democratic project. In exploring the reality and content of the concept of a European public sphere, the book scrutinizes the concept’s inherent values and norms as well as the nature of the formation and structure of a transnational public sphere: its efficacy, legitimacy, and pluralism. Examining media practices, journalistic cultures and the mediation of European issues in member states, it explores how the European public sphere(s) are actualized for its citizens. Opening up the ethnic, cultural, and historical diversity of the continent, the book offers new approaches to the demands of modern European multiculturalism. In each case, the apparent struggle between idealism and realism forces the authors to question, as well as to offer, new ways of understanding the integration process and its communicative edge.

Marguerite Duras et la pensée contemporaine. Actes du colloque des 10-12 mai 2007. La Faculté des Lettres. Université de Göteborg. Suède
- 2008
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- These papers were originally presented at the international conference “Marguerite Duras and Contemporary Thought” that took place at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) on May 10–12, 2007. The inaugural lecture entitled “Marx, c’est fini!”, given by Madeleine Borgomano, offers a panoramic view of the subject. Borgomano describes Duras’s commitment to the French Communist Party (1944–1950) as complete but temporary. It ended in a cruel disappointment, after which the writer came to embrace a philosophy of refusal reminiscent of Marcuse’s position. Borgomano also comments on the fascination Duras’s work has had on great many contemporary psychoanalysts, and she concludes her study by emphasizing the fundamentally deconstructive nature of Duras’s thought. The presentations that follow are divided into the following sections : Duras and the Masters of Postmodern Thought (papers on Duras and Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, René Girard, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Bataille, and Theodor W. Adorno); Duras and Psychoanalysis (papers on Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva); Duras and Feminism (papers analysing Duras’s attitude towards feminism, as well as the feminist reception of Duras’s work); Duras and Communism (a paper on Duras and Elio Vittorini): Duras: Cognition, Virtuality, Language; and finally a section on various aspects of Duras’s relationship to postmodern thought, including papers on Duras and Eastern Thought, Duras and Music, and Duras and Cinema (papers on the film projects of Eric Vigner and Olivier Bardin, on Le Camion, and on the relationship between Duras and Guy Debord).

Marilynne Robinson and theology
- 2021
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The essays in this volume explore the intersection between literature, theology and religion in the writings of the awardwinning American novelist and essayist Marilynne Robinson. The first section, On Theology, centres around Robinson’s theology from the perspectives of poetics, science, and history. In the second section, On the Novels, a particular focus is set on Robinson’s three novels Gilead, Home, or Lila and the life and theological concerns of their characters. Common to these essays is the attempt to understand why and how Robinson is one of our age’s most celebrated authors on home and homelessness, on faith and prophetism, on forgiveness, and on hope in the midst of despair.
