AbstractThis article addresses the haunting and obsessional presence of the mythical figure of Lord Byron in Hubert Aquin's Prochain épisode. More than a cultural reference among others, it may be seen as the focal point of all of the novel's literary and historical allusions, which might be defined as the quest for a national, romantic and revolutionary identity — a quest for which Byron provides the standard. The constant importance attributed to the life and works of Byron and to the “Hôtel d'Angleterre”, where he is said to have lodged and written “The Prisoner of Chillon” in 1816 before going to his death on his way to joining the Greeks' “national revolution”, sheds light on what can only be called Hubert Aquin's Anglophilia.

A number of critics have shown that troubled and violent relationships between fathers and daughters shape a significant part of Conan's work. Since then, many analyses of the incestuous dynamic have been put forward. Addressing the same symbolic knot, this article uses Lévi-Strauss's theorization of the founding tension between nature and culture to show that the spectre of incest is one of the figures through which a refusal of exchange, change, and historicity structures Angéline de Montbrun.

In Ukraine, as elsewhere, war damages or destroys a large part of ICH. The UNESCO documents on Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Emergencies highlight the dual role of ICH safeguarding in emergencies, noting that ICH can be vulnerable in difficult times, while it can also help communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from such threats. The living heritage in Ukraine has become a powerful source of resistance against the aggressors. National identity is based on history, collective memory, knowledge, sense of belonging, and culture. In the Ukrainian case, this foundation has proven to be sustainable and strong, founded on a rich heritage. It is reflected in “resistance identity” which has consolidated Ukrainian society profoundly. Planning post-war development requires us to elaborate clear principles, modalities, and objectives, and convert them into laws, effective institutions, and practices. The war has revealed the role of ICH for the viability of communities and as an essential part of national security.

The study of irony allows a complex relationship to truth. This article engages a discussion based on works of Robert Hurley and Jean-Jacques Lavoie, two ACÉBAC exegetes who proposed ironic interpretations of biblical passages. Their method of investigation is based on Wayne Booth's theory, which, although aware of the role of readers in the interpretive process, seeks the intentionality of the author of irony. This article offers some heuristic suggestions for interpreting irony from the interpretative activity of readers. The ironist is not only the author of the text, but especially his interpreters.

AbstractSeveral critics, such as François Ricard and Éva Le Grand, insist on the disenchantment in Milan Kundera's works. If we agree with this point of view, we also believe that many important mythical and sacred elements are included in these novels. Our contention is that the characters' journey is guided by an oscillation between the sacred and the prose. In the Farewell Waltz, these poles are symbolized by two blue elements : the fabulous light irradiating from Bertlef and Jakub's fatal pill.

Using Geling Yan's The Banquet Bug and its Chinese translations as a case study, this article attempts to explore what I term “migrating literature” in a transnational and translational framework. Translation is reconceptualised at three levels: contextual, paratextual and textual. This article will first of all examine the very translational nature of immigrant writing from a contextualized reading. It will then look at how paratextual matters re-frame immigrant writing and sometimes impose meaning by analyzing two key paratextual elements, title and front cover. At the end, the gain and loss of meanings will be discussed at the textual level, with an emphasis on the ideological and cultural implications. It also points out the possibility of incorporating readings from translations in other languages and cultures, or translations in other media forms, into the framework of migrating literature.
Keywords: immigrant writing, Geling Yan, transnationalism, re-framing, écriture migrante, Geling Yan, transnationalisme, recadrage
