This analysis has two interlinked goals. First, drawing on Lee Edelman, Dudley Andrew and Laura Mulvey, it theorizes the male homosexual optique, a mode of address that is predicated on the relationship between a film, its context of reception and its spectator, and which undermines the heterosexual exigencies of classical narrative style to implic...
Depuis le début des années 1960, l’influence est une notion décriée. Jugée floue, approximative, incapable de décrire avec précision les mécanismes en jeu dans les processus d’échanges entre des artistes ou des œuvres, elle semble maintenant appartenir à un temps révolu des études musicales. Pourtant, alors que des modèles analytiques alternatifs o...
It has sometimes been suggested that Florentine chancellor Coluccio Salutati, like Hercules in the well-known Xenophon passage, is a figure in bivio – in this case, confronted with the diverging roads of ‘humanistic’ virtue and Christian morality. The present article aims to reconsider this characterisation through the study of Salutati’s De labori...
Aborder l’étude de la cantiga de amor selon une perspective historique en donne une vision qui l’affranchit de toute univocité et banalité. On y constate d’ailleurs, en y regardant de plus près, que – à différents intervalles – les troubadours se servirent du genre comme champ de discussion littéraire. C’est ainsi que vers la décennie des années 80...
This article is an analysis of the short story “Laberinto” by Roberto Bolaño, in which photography is at the center of a device that includes, activates, and grounds fabulation and invention. The author appeals to a kind of narrative ekphrasis, a procedure that involves introducing a story by describing the story represented in an object or in an a...
Extensive reflection and continuous re-readings require the poems of Federico García Lorca’s Gypsy Ballads and, specifically, «The Unfaithful Wife», a perfect example of intertextuality that highlights the work of recovering and updating themes and forms of popular literature by many poets in 27 Group. In this article we will focus on two aspects: ...
Le présent article propose une lecture du Nouveau Testament héritière de la théologie queer. Dans une approche narratologique de la péricope narrant la rencontre de Philippe et l’eunuque en Actes 8, 26-40, l’auteur cherche à appliquer la notion d’identité narrative développée par Ricœur. La lecture de la citation d’Esaïe par l’eunuque se fait le pi...
This article explores the intertextual relationship between women’s glossy fashion magazines and Instagram. As the boundaries between the two formats are becoming increasingly porous – with visual conventions and discourses flowing bi-directionally between women’s magazines and Instagram – this article questions how they mutually reshape each other...
This essay is a comparative study of Judeo-Christian religion and religions from the ancient Middle East, mainly ancient Sumer/Mesopotamia and Egypt, with focus on the common symbols; the serpent, the cow and the tree. The comparison of the three symbols from different religious traditions highlights that there are both key differences and similari...
This article examines the way in which both the defence and the accusers in the ecclesiastical trial for apostasy that took place in Arequipa, Peru in 1831 against Dominga Gutiérrez for escaping her convent, co opted her voice for their political purposes and remained impervious to her own version of events. It also explores the diverse romantic na...
