Regarding Lost Time: Photography, Identity and Affect in Proust, Benjamin, and Barthes

Dilettantism and its Values: From Weimar Classicism to the fin de siecle
by Richard Hibbit
The concept of dilettantism has not always been associated with amateurism or superficiality. It played a significant role in French and German critical discourse from the late eighteenth century until the fin de siècle, embracing notions such as apprenticeship, fruitful error, parody, aestheticism and scepticism. Attempts to define dilettantism in a binary relationship with art have often foundered due to a fundamental ambivalence to its ...

Reinventing Community: Identity and Difference in Late Twentieth-Century Philosophy and Literature in French
by Jane Hiddleston
During recent years critics have increasingly expressed their loss of faith in existing cultural and political collective frameworks, drawing attention instead to irreducible singularity and to radical incommensurability between diverse positions or groups. Hiddleston analyses and challenges this trend, bringing together political, theoretical and literary analysis and juxtaposing the works of critical theorists such as Derrida, Lyotard and Nancy ...

Victor Hugo, romancer de l'abime
edited by J.A. Hiddleston
For a long time Victor Hugo's novels attracted little critical attention in spite of their obvious power and uniqueness. In recent years, however, scholars have returned to Notre-Dame de Paris, Les Misérables, Les Travailleurs de la mer, Quatrevingt-treize and L'Homme qui rit, uncovering the diversity, the thematic and narrative singularity, the shifting ironies and resistance to interpretative closure of works once judged ...

English Responses to French Poetry 1880-1940: Translation and Mediation
by Jennifer Higgins
Between 1880 and 1940, English responses to French poetry evolved from marginalised expressions of admiration associated with rebellion against the "establishment" to mainstream mutual exchange and appreciation. The translation of poetry underwent a simultaneous evolution, from attempts to produce definitive renderings to definitions of translation as an ongoing, generative process at the centre of literary debate. This study traces the impact of ...

Contemporary Italian Women Writers and Traces of the Fantastic: The Creation of Literary Space
by Danielle Hipkins
Contemporary fantastic fiction, particularly that written by women, often challenges traditional literary practice. At the same time the predominantly male-authored canon of fantastic literature offers a problematic range of gender stereotypes for female authors to 're-write'. Fantastic tropes, of space in particular, enable three important contemporary Italian female writers (Paola Capriolo, b. 1962; Francesca Duranti, b. 1935 and Rossana ...

From Florence to the Heavenly City: The Poetry of Citizenship in Dante
by Claire Honess
Dante's political thought has long constituted a major area of interest for Dante studies, yet the poet's political views have traditionally been considered a self-contained area of study and viewed in isolation from the poet's other concerns. Consequently, the symbolic and poetic values which Dante attaches to political structures have been largely ignored or marginalised by Dante criticism. This omission is addressed here by Claire Honess, ...
