In the cultural Cold War context of competition between Communist-aligned World Peace Council and American-supported Congress for Cultural Freedom, the latter developed an offensive media policy, in particular with a bunch of specific journals in some European country, among others Preuves in France. Links were also built with other reviews for special issues, like La Revue Musicale. Twice, in 1952, on the occasion of the festival “L'Oeuvre du xxe siècle,” and in 1965–1966, with the survey “La musique sérielle aujourd'hui” (“Serial music today”) conducted by André Boucourechliev, composers' texts about musical creation were gathered, respectively in La Revue Musicale and Preuves.

Le premier chapitre s’attache plus particulièrement à la conception de la littérature selon Nabokov. Nous soutirons des essais théoriques et des analyses littéraires effectuées par l’auteur des éléments de son esthétique, éclairant par conséquent ses …

AbstractNancy Huston's Parallel Voices — This article examines the case of bilingual and polyglot writers, such as Nancy Huston, Elsa Triolet, Vladimir Nabokov and Julian Green.

Was Nancy Huston eligible to receive the Governor-General's Award in the French fiction category for Cantique des plaines, her own rewriting of her novel Plainsong ?
