AbstractThe charisma called into question is first discussed by the way of its representation in Wallenstein's Camp, a play in which the dialog shapes the special powers of the absent leader. This paradox illustrates the task of the poet to shape his characters, body and soul as well as their memorable gestures with mere words . The analysis of the narrated body language concentrates on Schiller's short stories and reveals his familiarity with Richardson's and Diderots' poetics. It also shows his sense of classical unity and his choice of beautiful gestures as an alternative to the abuses seen in German courts.

AbstractThe Zapatista uprising and its war declaration of January 1, 1994 in Mexico, received an almost immediate international press coverage. The Zapatista communiqués, most of them signed by Subcomandante Marcos, spokesperson of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, became emblematic of a new discourse and a new form of political action. The great rate at which these communiqués were translated into many languages contributed to internationalize a discourse and a movement deemed pioneer in the struggle against globalization. By analysing the strategies underlying the various French and English translations of the Zapatista communiqués, this article attempts to define the role played by translation in the Zapatista action and discourse.

This article proposes to revisit the genesis of Bacqueville de La Potherie's Histoire de l'Amérique septentrionale (1722) in the light of four texts published in the Mercure galant between 1691 and 1702, which partially overlap texts found in the historical monograph. By placing these excerpts in their original context of production and relying on various archival documents, the comparative analysis offers new avenues of interpretation of the work. It invites the researcher to reposition these historical narratives in a current discourse that participates, at the time of New France, in the constitution of a colonial imaginary.

After the Treaty of Paris (1763), a new generation of Acadians was born: the children of deportees. Many of them were in France from 1758 on. This generation did not know much about Acadia and grew up in refugee communities. They were torn between the nostalgic feelings of their elders and the new social and professional opportunities offered by France in the pre-revolutionary years, which was undergoing major political and economic changes. While certain “destinies” of women from the Deportation were discovered in the 19th century, this article returns to the story of Anne Suzanne Richard, an Acadian tailor and laundress in Morlaix, Brittany, to account for a “margin of empowerment.” This concept refers to the shaping of a network of social connections in the pursuit of one's own goal beyond the total control of community and/or state power. This article focuses on one of these margins by giving it a specifically feminine orientation: the epistolary relationship between Richard and a Breton aristocrat, the Countess Marie Jeanne Jégou du Laz. In the course of their exchanges between 1785 and 1789, female autonomy is revealed far from any homogeneous and reified conception of the historical category of “refugee woman.” Social relations are established around Anne Suzanne Richard to situate her in interactions with different social and professional milieus, from the domestic realm to the public sphere. In this way, the margin of empowerment opens up a new archival treatment of Acadian refugee women through the exploration of new network dynamics undertaken between historical agents, merchant communities, and independent actors after the Deportation.
