In Henri Lopes' work, leaving means becoming someone else : spatial mobilities go along with major identity changes. The characters live different lives and belong to different places, becoming ubiquitous figures both anchored in their native land and unmoored from it, experiencing an oxymoronic condition which has been dubbed « enracinerrance » (rooted wandering). Henri Lopes' works thus alter and make fluid the various categories (such as travel, exile, migration, immigration, wandering, homecoming) through which forms and situations of displacement are usually apprehended. They also alter the affective overtones and the writing procedures associated with them, sketching an inner landscape made of river loops, banks and insular places where movement is combined with stability, and the act of stepping into the unknown with yet constant reassurance, and thus exploring the liminal spaces of psychism which define the very human adventure.

This article proposes an analysis of the usage of racist stereotypes in the novels Verre Cassé (2005), by Alain Mabanckou and Pelourinho (1995), by Tierno Monénembo, so as to observe the new meanings they produce once translated in Brazil. Some essentialist categories involving « race » or « identity » sometimes seem out of place after being translated, due most notably to the interpretation potential available to the target reader.

This article aims to show how attention to the plant has been at the heart of one of the strongest historical contestations of the dualistic separation regime of the Moderns. Étienne Bonnot de Condillac's work thus combines a major shift in the metaphysical attention to plants, from the eye to the smell, with a general inquiry into the origin of language. This combination raises the forms of sensibility in condition of the institution. The identification of this combination allows a dialogue with the work of Philippe Descola about the generative ontological matrix of collectives. This path from Condillac to Descola and back is not a speculative one: it stems in the affective memory of the smell of flowers, which serves here as an Archimedean point against dualism. The question then arises as to how plants contribute to the institution of collectives, or, to the contrary, resist it.

Samuel Chappuzeau (1625-1701) is the author of L'Allemagne protestante (1671), a work rarely studied from the perspective of travel writing, offering a glimpse of his journeys within the Empire as he contrasts the imaginary with reality. On one hand, Chappuzeau's intellectual outlook aligns with the ideas of the French classical age, as he is convinced that travel broadens one's perspective and fosters openness toward others. On the other, his journey represents an empirical practice essential for understanding the world and its workings. Since Chappuzeau's travel experience simultaneously forms the basis of an epistemology that allows him to uncover truth through independent inquiry, L'Allemagne protestante, thus contributes to shaping thought and spreading knowledge.
