Hitoshi Iwaaki's masterpiece Parasyte (1988-1994), though ignored by academic critics, encapsulates in a particularly striking way the different issues surrounding manga bodies as they are torn between body horror and the pleasures and disgraces of becoming-posthuman.

In the first part of the article, I examine Rembrandt's Belshazzar's Feast in light of Butor's interpretation of Rembrandt's sight/blindness paradox. In the second part of the article, I then outline the numerous ways in which Belshazzar's Feast flourishes in Butor's own L'Emploi du temps. While numerous researchers have highlighted the importance of biblical intertextualities in this novel – Cain and Abel, Babel, the Apocalypse – Belshazzar's Feast has been largely overlooked, despite being central to the text. Through a detailed analysis of both Rembrandt and Butor's representations of Belshazzar's Feast, I argue that, for both artists, the traditional distinctions between text and image blur when the mysterious and divine letters in this biblical scene cease to necessarily form words.

This article examines discursive and narrative strategies of métissage and self-indigenization in Volkswagen Blues, a transculturalist novel published in 1984 by Quebecois writer Jacques Poulin. Claims to indigeneity and métissage in the novels do not appear directly, but through the myth of French America; settler colonialism is concealed, Indigenous peoples are relegated to a prehistoric past, and French settler past is implicitly foregrounded as the origin of North America.

Although male homosexuality is never explicitly named in L'Autre vue (1904) by Belgian author Georges Eekhoud, numerous clues suggest that it is the novel's central subject and that it can be reread from a queer perspective. Theories of the unreliable narrator reveal the presence of not one but two homosexual characters: Paridael and Bergmans. Once unmasked, the latter provides access to a militant discourse in favor of legitimizing homosexuality in the novel's central section – Paridael's diary – by merging two levels of reading: an explicit social and political discourse that conceals an implicit homosexual one.
