The purpose of this article is to bring an eclectic point of view to bear on a lightly provocative aspect in la Vie de Marianne : scarcity of detail in the description of clothing and its relation to scriptural metaphor. By a collage of varied approaches, that is to say, by referring to the metatext as well as by using other critical resources and in light of selected citations or facts, this essay examines the functional aspect of the accessory in the general economy of the novel. It especially concerns the role of clothing and its relation to the doubles ententes of language, in short, it underlines the importance of the unimportant.

AbstractIn a 1948 text, Pierre Boulez expresses his desire to infuse his music with a ritualistic undertone comparable to that of Antonin Artaud's poetic. This remark raises questions about Artaud's influence, concerning both Boulez's conducting activities and the conception of his works. The first part of this article deals with Boulez's public writings on Pelléas et Mélisande and on the links he establishes between Debussy and Artaud in his private writings. The second part concentrates on the connections that relate Artaud's works to those of Boulez, particularly in Rituel, in memoriam Bruno Maderna.

Today, the “crisis of masculinity” discourse is a “cliché”. But this alleged crisis occurs while men still hold more power and privileges than women. It is therefore important to critically investigate the rhetoric about the “crisis of masculinity” and assess its political meaning. In order to do so, we begin by looking at Western history and show that men have been claiming to be in crisis for the last five centuries. After discussing more specifically three historical periods (England in the seventeenth century, France during the 1789 Revolution, and the West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century), we pay special attention to contemporary discourse. The analysis confirms that the rhetoric about “crisis of masculinity” carries a critique of feminism and a rejection of gender equality. This discourse also justifies the (re)affirmation of conventional masculinity.

Collections of newspaper columns acted as privileged experimental sites for end-of-the-century authors. A study of the origins of these anthologies reveals how media transfer functions and the generic hybridity that results from it: the texts circulate from one medium to another among newspapers, reviews and books, and borrow traits from these diverse editorial styles. The column oscillates between journalism and literature while embodying a multitude of micro-styles in which the entire art of the writer is practiced. The anthology effect tends to stiffen these forms and cause them to lose some of their richness, but the play between unity and fragmentation that they generate results in a hybrid, resolutely modern work.

This article analyzes the first novel by Dany Laferrière, Comment faire l’amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer. It demonstrates that, read from the point of view of its narrative architecture, its organization of space, the place it gives to the production, distribution and reception of the artistic work, this novel is a clear representation of the book-object. It thus intends to contribute to completing the analyses that limited themselves to the subsidiary facets of that key element which gives content and form to the novel.
