L’identification des contraintes financières et sociales qui sont sous-entendues dans la situation des personnages amoureux de la comédie de Ménandre – à partir de ses pièces et fragments subsistants et de ses adaptations en langue latine par Térence – permet d’éclairer la rhétorique de séduction ou de dissuasion employée par les divers personnages types de ce genre littéraire. Or, il existe un parallèle étroit entre ces discours et situations dramatiques et l’élégie érotique qui fleurit quelques siècles plus tard à Rome sous la plume de Tibulle, Properce et Ovide. Certains aspects déroutants de la rhétorique de séduction employée par les élégistes sont élucidés lorsqu’on les comprend dans le contexte dramatique de la comédie nouvelle : notamment, le poète narrateur se positionne dans la situation du …

The subject of ethics and morality has received renewed attention across a wide variety of humanistic and social scientific disciplines in recent times. Drawing from some of this work, the essay outlines new directions of enquiry for the study of ethics in South Asia. Existing approaches have tended to see ethics either as an entirely conceptual system or as a form of generic false consciousness. We emphasize, by contrast, that ethics is a form of social practice which demands to be apprehended as embodied, experienced and communicated in historically contingent contexts. We argue, through reference to both our own and other recent work in the fields of history and anthropology, that South Asian ethical traditions provide ample scope for such an approach. We also seek to develop a sensitivity to the temporally entangled nature of ethics and the complex continuities and ruptures with which the figuration of a moral present in South Asia took shape.

Mallarmé's poetical career began and ended with work on Hérodiade, a project deriving from a powerful feminine identification which became a focus for a multifarious questioning of origin. In order to describe what was at stake in that identification when Mallarmé wrote the first Hérodiade (1864-1866), we follow the mutual echoes of the letter and the body down to the biographical knot where in the fate of the subject is uttered. Then, in a double reading of the poetic and sexual metaphors, with particular emphasis on the often overlooked Nourrice, we attempt to gather the reverberation of the Mallarmean concept oeuvre, in order to connect the seemingly unrelated semantic and narrative transformative impulses which make reading the 1898 Noces d'Hérodiade possible.

On the centennial of Émile Zola's death, this article wants to renew, in it's own way, the tribute long ago accomplished by Ferdinand Chastanet, the author of the first dictionary of the Rougon-Macquart, published in 1901. He suggests an abridged dictionary that would bring together all the characters created by Zola. They are not placed in alphabetical order, but rather in sequences according to their social or psychological profiles. Including Les Rougon-Macquart, this work starts from Zola's early novels and continues to Évangiles. However it does not include Contes and Théâtre.

This study examines Banville's poems published in the press during the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. The article shows how poetic satire undergoes a renewal in contact with media culture and becomes a poetry of resistance to the invader. We examine the connections between Banville's poems and the caricatures of the time: their pictorial dimension, based on the interplay of black and white and the touch of expressive color; the art of skewering and caricatural portraiture; the use of highly suggestive allegories, featuring figures of the invader capable of mobilizing readers while making them aware of the dangers of imagery; a carnivalization of horror that liberates from its haunting. The study also underscores the importance of the theatrical model, which transforms speech into a comic performance, prompting a revival of verse and of experiments aimed at making this speech more expressive. It illustrates how poetic satire draws from the vibrant source of the French spirit, cultivated by the small press and popular theater, to unleash a vengeful laughter and create a versified comic language capable of elevating poetry above circumstances.

Between the years 1920 and 1930 in France, several women reporters—namely, Maryse Choisy, Magdeleine Paz, Marise Querlin, Luc Valti and Adrienne Verdière Le Peletier—seized on the subject of prostitution. This article examines these investigations in order to examine women's perception of both prostitution and the figure of the prostitute. It sheds light on the ambivalences of reporting, which hesitated between the renewal of stereotypes based on prostitution in the popular imagination and inherited from social surveys and 19th century literature, and the creation of a new vision of the problem. The figure of the prostitute is at the heart of this tension: at once victim and criminal, pure and impure, ordinary and marginalized, she marks the reportage with her voice and the adventures of her body, while offering the woman reporter a social and reflexive symbol. In fact, the prostitute allows the reporter to not only denounce certain more general aspects of women's condition during the inter-war period, involving inequities of class and gender, but to comment as well on the somewhat marginal condition shared by both the public woman and the reporter, namely, a mobile identity outside the norm.
