The Orient is not a major theme for Dany Laferrière, whose works generally recreate the geography of his personal trajectory from his native island of Haiti to Montreal, the first location of his exile. However, his second text, Éroshima, is made up of motifs from Japanese culture. The author of this article analyzes the ambiguous status of Éroshima's Asian theme, which is the vehicle for a large number of stereotypes. She shows that the narrator is offering a reflection on the resonance of cliché while attempting to outmaneuver it by adopting a poetic mode foreign to Western thought.

AbstractMemorable places (hauts lieux) play a fundamental role in the symbolic marking of territory and in its linkage with official history. They express a collective identity that is shown at different political and sociological levels, from the nation down to the family – a scale of analysis hitherto neglected. To see how individuals' space-time meshes with that of society, I began to research my own family and its birthplace – Peyruis, Alpes de Haute-Provence in France. By reconstructing the private geography of three sisters and a brother in this small 1940s Provençal town, we move from institutional memorials to commonplace ones: everyday places more linked to daily activities than regular acts of remembrance. These small yet significant sites are found in a social space. They embody virtual and limited-in-time appropriation of a public territory by private memory.

In France, towards the end of the 1980s, the appetite for mangas and Japanese animation began in earnest with the broadcasting of Japanese cartoons on French television. By 1994, early fans published fanzines containing comics inspired by mangas that were difficult to access (contrary to the Japanese cartoons on television). Young authors, most of them barely twenty years of age at the time, tried to emulate their Asian role models, but inevitably their own European cultural background intervened, may it be in the language or in the way they dealt with comic-book genre codes.
