EL HAMAMSY, Walid & Mounira SOLIMAN
(eds.), Popular Culture in the Middle East
and North Africa : A Postcolonial Outlook,
New York, Routledge, 2013, 281 pages.
This book explores the body and the production
process of popular culture in, and on, the
Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, and Iran
in the first decade of the 21st century, and up
to the current historical moment. Essays
consider gender, racial, political, and cultural
issues in film, cartoons, music, dance, phototattoos, graphic novels, fiction, and
advertisements. Contributors to the volume
span an array of specializations ranging across
literary, postcolonial, gender, media, and
Middle Eastern studies and contextualize their
views within a larger historical and political
moment, analyzing the emergence of a popular
expression in the Middle East and North Africa
region in recent years, and drawing conclusions
pertaining to the direction of popular culture
within a geopolitical context.
Rappel : la rubrique intitulée « Généralités » présente des ouvrages dans
lesquels on mélange les genres, les
inclassables, les études sur le roman et le
film d’aventures, l’humour et le comique,
la culture populaire en général, ainsi que
certaines « curiosités » éditoriales...

ANGENOT, Marc, Les Dehors de la littérature. Du roman populaire à la sciencef i c t i o n , Paris, Champion, (UnichampEssentiel), 2013, 264 pages.
Les études littéraires sont le seul domaine des
ainsi nommées "sciences humaines" qui
commence en écartant - sans jamais
s'interroger sur cette mise à l'écart préjudicielle
- quatre-vingt-dix pour cent et plus de ce qui
peut sembler son objet naturel. Dans les deux
siècles modernes, l'écrasante majorité de ce
qui s'est donné pour des "romans", ne serait-ce
que par cette mention sur la page de titre, de
même que les textes versifiés en leur masse se
trouvent exclus de toute prise en considération
avant de commencer. Il en va de même pour
une part plus massive encore du texte
dramatique, de Pixérécourt et du mélodrame
romantique au théâtre de boulevard. Marc
Angenot explore ici certains secteurs de ces
dehors de la littérature canonique en
recueillant divers essais qui portent sur les
genres, les thématiques et les formes les plus
dévalués de ce Grand Déchet. Il se place sous
l'invocation d'un personnage benjaminien, celui
qui va chercher du récupérable, du " gaspillé "
dans les gravats et les champs d'épandage : le
Crocheteur.

The nineteenth-century genre of domestic
fiction continues to perform important cultural
work for women readers in the early twentieth
century – this is the argument of ‘Modern
Domestic Fiction’. Discussing texts by Dorothy
Canfield, Zona Gale, and Inez Haynes Irwin,
this study demonstrates how between 1905
and 1925 domestic fiction took a central role in
promulgating popular feminist ideas, creating a

However soaked in blood its history and no
matter how unsettling its social conditions and
poverty, Asia has never lost its irresistible
attraction or mystic. It has long been an
inspiration for Western novelists, so much so
that more than 5000 novels have been set in
Asia in the English language alone. Storied
names like Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad,
Pearl S. Buck, George Orwell, Graham Greene,
E.M. Forster and many more have used their
experiences in Asia as a vibrant backdrop for
some of the world's most famous works of
literature.

Through the perspectives of selected bestselling novels from the end of World War II to
the end of the 20th century--including T h e
Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The
Godfather, Jaws, Beloved, The Silence of the
Lambs, and Jurassic Park--this book examines
the crucial issues the U.S. was experiencing
during those decades. These novels represent
the voices of popular conversations, as
Americans considered issues of family, class,
racism and sexism, feminism, economic
ambition, sexual violence, war, law, religion
and science.

Que se passe-t-il donc de si nouveau depuis les
années 1990 du côté des séries télévisées ? À
partir d'entretiens avec une trentaine
d'amateurs, corpus dont le noyau dur est
constitué d'une population de jeunes adultes,
cet ouvrage rend compte des raisons d'une
passion qui met en avant la valeur des
personnages, aux personnalités fouillées,
fréquemment traversés par des questions
existentielles et pourvus de talents ignorés,
mais aussi des univers narratifs troublants par
leur rapport aux sentiments, au quotidien et
aux faits du monde, ce qui en fait des sortes de
fictions
de
l'ordinaire.
Les
séries
contemporaines sont des séries à hypothèses.
Elles offrent un espace de questionnement et
de projection à des jeunes adultes notamment,
individus en devenir et aux identités plus

World : Sex, Politics, Style, and the 1960s,
Durham, Duke University Press, 2013, x, 421
pages.
Since the show's debut in 2007, Mad Men has
invited viewers to immerse themselves in the
lush period settings, ruthless Madison Avenue
advertising culture, and arresting characters at
the center of its 1960s fictional world. Mad Men,
Mad World is a comprehensive analysis of this
groundbreaking TV series. Scholars from across
the humanities consider the AMC drama from a
fascinating array of perspectives, including
fashion, history, architecture, civil rights,
feminism, consumerism, art, cinema, and the
serial format, as well as through theoretical
frames such as critical race theory, gender,
queer
theory,
global
studies,
and
psychoanalysis.

Betty Goes Global : from Telenovela to
International Brand, London & New York, I.
B. Tauris, 2013, xv, 259 pages.
Premiering in 2006, the stylish and award
winning US hit show Ugly Betty, about kindhearted ugly duckling Betty Suarez (America
Ferrera), is the latest incarnation of a truly
global phenomenon that started life as a
Colombian telenovela, Yo soy Betty, la fea,
back in 1999. The tale has since taken an
extraordinary journey around the globe, from
the original Colombian Beatriz, Indian Jassi,
Chinese Wudi and Israeli Esti to the Flemish
Sara, Spanish Bea, Greek Maria and Dutch
Lotte as well as Czech Katka, Russian Katka
and Turkish Gönül. This groundbreaking book
about how television formats go global asks
what the Betty phenomenon can tell us about
the international circulation of locally produced
TV fictions as the Latin American telenovela is
sold to, and/or re-made for, different national
contexts.

McKAY, James, The Films of Victor Mature,
Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 213 pages.
With his rugged features and earthy sex
appeal, Victor Mature ushered in a new breed
of postwar Hollywood actor, far removed from
the debonair matinee idols of the 1930s.
Following success as an upbeat leading man in
the early 1940s Fox musicals, opposite the
likes of Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, he
went on deliver two of his most powerful
performances in My Darling Clementine (1946)
and Kiss of Death (1947). But it was in the
biblical epics such as Samson and Delilah
(1949), The Robe (1953) and Demetrius and
the Gladiators (1954) that his heartfelt acting
and statuesque, larger than life screen
presence finally secured his place as a
Hollywood icon. Beginning with a concise
biography, this work covers Mature’s film
career in its entirety, featuring synopses,
anecdotes from cast and crew, and review
commentary.
KENNEDY-KARPAT, Colleen, Rogues, Romances and Exoticism in French Cinema of the
1930s, Madison, Fairleigh Dickinson University
Press, 2013, 215 pages.
Many popular French films of the 1930s
captured the world and brought it into
neighborhood cinemas for filmgoers who
craved adventure. These films often served as
visual postcards from the French empire, which
enjoyed an unprecedented visibility in domestic
popular culture between the world wars. But
the public appetite for the exotic also
transcended imperial borders. Exoticist films
displayed landscapes and different that lay
beyond the metropole, many of which were not
subject to European rule.
Rogues, Romance, and Exoticism in French
Cinema of the 1930s proposes a critical
framework for exoticist cinema that includes
and exceeds the limits of empire. From rogue
colons to the métisse in love, from the deserts
of North Africa to the streets of Shanghai, this
book identifies and analyzes recurring figures,
common settings, major stars, plot devices,
and narrative outcomes that dominated
exoticist cinema at its popular peak.
MILBERG, Doris, The Art of the Screwball
Comedy : Madcap Entertainment from the
1930s to Today, Jefferson (NC), McFarland,
2013, 200 pages.
Part One of this entertaining exploration of
screwball comedies and their later offspring
begins in the mid-1930s discussing the careers
of popular stars such as Cary Grant and Carole
Lombard and well-known supporting players
like Walter Connally and Ralph Bellamy (also
Asta the dog, top animal star of the 1930s!).
Writers and directors are given their due: Frank
6
Capra, Howard Hawks and Preston Sturges,
just to name a few.__Part Two, the meat of the
book, takes an in depth look at the films, from
the genre’s inception (1934’s It Happened One
Night) to the recent 2003 Down with Love, and
the stars that appear in them--Clark Gable,
Claudette Colbert, Julia Roberts, Richard Gere-ending with some thoughts about the future.
La Case de l’oncle Tom de 1903, Naissance
d’une nation de D.W. Griffith et Autant en
emporte le vent jusqu’à La Couleur des
sentiments et Les Bêtes du Sud sauvage. Cette
lignée de Sudistes compte nombre de
personnages remarquables incarnés par Bette
Davis, Vivien Leigh, Hattie McDaniel, Shirley
Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, Louise Beavers, Ethel
Waters, Jennifer Jones, Theresa Harris, Fredi
Washington… À travers elles, Taïna Tuhkunen
montre qu’il existe un genre southern à part
entière, aux multiples ramifications et tensions.
L’imaginaire sudiste dépasse les limites des
genres en même temps que les frontières
géographiques, transgresse les codes en
engageant l’Amérique tout entière – le dernier
avatar en la matière est Django Unchained de
Quentin Tarantino. Multiple et impur, car nourri
à la manière des vampires de True Blood du
réel et du faux, de vrai sang et de sang
synthétique, le southern interdit son intégration
à un seul projet idéologique ou artistique. Les
figures féminines, abondantes, fortes et
variées, sont là pour en dire la vitalité, ouvrant
aux grandes fictions, aux mélodrames
intimistes, aux chroniques épiques et réalistes
ou aux cauchemars plus fantastiques.

SAUVAGE, Célia, Critiquer Quentin Tarantino est-il raisonnable ?, Paris, J, Vrin,
(Philosophie et cinéma), 2013, 120 pages.
Comment expliquer tout à la fois la
fétichisation du cinéaste américain, Quentin
Tarantino, et la polémique qui entoure la sortie
de chacun de ses films ? La réception très
passionnée de son cinéma invite à se poser la
question : critiquer Quentin Tarantino est-il
raisonnable ? La qualité de ses films ne peut
suffire à expliquer à elle seule les réactions
diverses, contradictoires et polémiques. Le
traitement de faveur tout comme la
dépréciation systématique du cinéma de
Tarantino méritent ainsi d’être réinterrogés.
Ses films apparaissent cependant indissociables
de la construction personnelle de sa figure
publique, de ses discours médiatiques, de son
activité cinéphilique, autant d’éléments qui
contaminent toujours l’interprétation de ses
films et participent à l’explication du
« phénomène Tarantino ».
WINCKLER, Martin, Dr. House, l’esprit du

Médecin, écrivain, spécialiste des séries
télévisées, il n’en fallait pas plus pour que
Martin Winckler, le romancier de La maladie de
Sachs, se penche sur le cas du Dr House qui, à
l’étonnement
ou
l’effarement
de
téléspectateurs scotchés à leurs petits écrans
durant huit saisons, a pratiqué au service
(selon le jargon du métier) des « moutons à
cinq pattes », chez les patients au diagnostic
difficile. Mal rasé, boîteux, misanthrope,
cynique, inspiré et désemparant, ce
personnage est livré à l’examen analytique,
éthique et spirituel du Dr Winkler qui, tout
écrivain qu’il est, envisage et situe son sujet
d’étude dans la lignée des héros (un Sherlock
Holmes, par exemple) que la fiction offre à nos
passions de lecteurs.

Edward D. Wood Jr. (1924-1978) est célèbre
pour avoir réalisé « le plus mauvais film de
l’histoire du cinéma », l’improbable Plan 9 From
Outer Space (1959). Tim Burton et Johnny
Depp lui ont consacré un film en 1994, qui rend
un
hommage

TUHKUNEN, Taïna, Demain sera un autre
jour : Le Sud et ses héroïnes à l’écran,
Perthuis, Rouge Profond, (Raccords), 2013,

Richement illustré, ce livre d’histoire, d’analyse
des formes et des genres se focalise sur les
figures féminines dans le cinéma américain.
Particulièrement les héroïnes sudistes, depuis
7
approximative, son amour du cinéma et sa
passion des pulls angora.
Écrit en 1965, Comment réussir (ou presque) à
Hollywood (The Hollywood Rat Race) révèle
encore une autre facette du personnage.
S’adressant notamment aux apprentis acteurs
et scénaristes, Ed Wood donne des conseils
précis et documentés : dans quelle pension
descendre, comment trouver un agent,
comment survivre aux désillusions… Tout y
passe : les photos promotionnelles, les
attachés de presse…
Le ton est féroce, l’ironie aussi savoureuse que
paradoxale. Par quel miracle l’homme dont la
carrière fut un échec peut-il s’ériger en guide ?
C’est tout le sel de cet « Hollywood pour les
Nuls » unique en son genre.

Why were white bourgeois gay male writers so
interested in spies, espionage, and treason in
the twentieth century? Erin G. Carlston believes
such figures and themes were critical to
exploring citizenship and its limits,
requirements, and possibilities in the modern
Western state. Through close readings of
Marcel Proust's novels, W. H. Auden's poetry,
and Tony Kushner's play Angels in America, which
all reference real-life espionaage cases
involving Jews, homosexuals, or Communists,
Carlston connects gay men's fascination with
spying to larger debates about the making and
contestation of social identity.
ZERNIK, Clélia, Les Sept Samouraïs, de
Akira Kurosowa : Chorégraphies, Crisnée,
Yellow Now, (Côté film), 2013, 110 pages.
Les sept samouraïs d’Akira Kurosawa est
d’abord un film d’action. Mais derrière les
questions de pouvoir et de survie se joue avant
tout un art de la mise en scène des corps :
corps souffrants, fébriles, humiliés, mais aussi
corps qui s’éduquent et s’articulent avec un
groupe. Brisant la bidimensionnalité de l’écran
cinématographique, Kurosawa inscrit la tension
des muscles, le surplus de la chair et du
physiologique au coeur de l’image et donne à
voir l’engendrement du corps social à partir de
la diversité des corps physiques. Avec une
grande économie de mots, il construit une
allégorie de l’institution sociale et politique qui
fait varier très subtilement les relations
interindividuelles uniquement par le traitement
de l’espace et des corps. Les Sept Samouraïs
est un film chorégraphique.

von ihm fasziniert. Neben westlichen Krimis
werden immer mehr Geschichten aus dem
Osten gelesen, die ›dort‹ oder ›hier‹
geschrieben werden. Breslau, Budapest, Kiew,
Moskau, Prag, Triest und Zagreb werden zu

GUÉRIF, François, Du polar – Entretiens
avec Philippe Blanchet, Paris, Rivages,
(Manuels Payot), 2013, 320 pages.
Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de référence sur
le cinéma américain, et notamment le film noir,
fondateur de la revue Polar, lauréat du Ellery
Queen Award en 1997 et surtout éditeur des
auteurs les plus prestigieux du genre
aux Éditions Rivages, François Guérif est
aujourd'hui sans doute l'un des plus grands
spécialistes français du roman policier.
Au fil de ces entretiens à bâtons rompus avec
le journaliste Philippe Blanchet, François Guérif
revient sur la genèse du polar, de Conan Doyle
à Agatha Christie, sur les premiers classiques
modernes (de Dashiell Hammett à Raymond
Chandler) et sur les grands auteurs actuels.
Tout au long de ce livre à la fois érudit et
passionné, il analyse les principales étapes du
genre. Évoque sa carrière, ses coups de coeur
(David Goodis, James Cain, Jim Thompson),
ses amitiés (Léo Malet, Jean-Patrick Manchette,
Robin Cook, James Ellroy...), ses souvenirs et
ses livres de chevet.

Goes East : The Russian Pinkerton Craze,
1 9 0 7 - 1 0 3 4 , Leiden, Brill, 2012, (Russian
History and Culture), xiv, 182 pages.
This book examines the staggering popularity
of early-twentieth-century Russian detective
serials.
Traditionally
maligned
as
“Pinkertonovshchina,” these appropriations of
American and British detective stories featuring
Nat Pinkerton, Nick Carter, Sherlock Holmes,
Ethel King, and scores of other sleuths swept
the Russian reading market in successive
waves between 1907 and 1917, and famously
experienced a “red” resurgence in the 1920s
under the aegis of Nikolai Bukharin. The book
presents
the
first
holistic
view
of
“Pinkertonovshchina” as a phenomenon, and
produces a working model of cross-cultural
appropriation and reception. The “red
Pinkerton” emerges as a vital “missing link”
between pre- and post-Revolutionary popular
literature, and marks the fitful start of a
decades-long negotiation between the regime,
the author, and the reading masses.
NDLR : l’ouvrage est passionnant mais...

commettre l’erreur suivante : il affirme que Per
Wahlöö était flic (page 291) ! Flic ? Walhöö ?

Arsène Lupin, le gentleman cambrioleur, est
universellement connu. Archétype de l'élégance
et de la séduction, voleur et chevalier servant,
homme aux mille visages, audacieux et
mystérieux, sa silhouette mondaine continue
de hanter la littérature mondiale, et l'on n'en
finit pas de le redécouvrir, au cinéma comme
en littérature ou en bande dessinée. Bien sûr,
avant Lupin, il y avait déjà toute une tradition
de personnages, réels ou imaginaires,
d'escrocs, de bandits au grand coeur ou de
génies du mal. De Renart à Rocambole, en
passant par Robin des Bois ou Cartouche, le
voleur, le brigand, l'aigrefin était déjà célébré
par les écrivains. Au tournant du xixe et du xxe
siècle, il n'est pas non plus le premier - avant
lui il y avait Simon Carne, Arthur J. Raffles,
Georges Randal...- mais une chose est sûre,

Le Polar est aujourd'hui le genre le plus vendu
et le plus lu en France ! Il n'en fut pas toujours
ainsi car dès sa naissance, ce genre issu du
roman populaire, a rassemblé contre lui de
nombreuses voix. Lecteur éclectique et
boulimique dès l'âge de dix ans, devenu
critique littéraire au début des années 1980,
j'ai pu, à mon tour, défendre ce genre littéraire
selon l'aphorisme bien connu : « Il n'y a pas de
mauvais genres, il n'y a que de mauvais
écrivains ». En trente ans, en dehors d'une
quinzaine d'ouvrages allant d'une Souris noire

publié des kilomètres d'articles sur ce genre

tenu de tous ces nouveaux lecteurs qui

This is a feminist study of a recurring character

women - a woman who behaves like a Victorian
gentleman. Exploring this character type leads
to a new evaluation of the politics of classic
detective fiction and the middlebrow novel as a
whole.

ARTIAGA, Loïc & Matthieu LETOURNEUX,
Fantômas ! Biographie d’un criminel
imaginaire, Paris, Les Prairies Ordinaires,
2013. Parution : 14 juin.-13
Fantômas ! Le nom du « Génie du crime » a
traversé tout le XXe siècle. À bien des égards,
Pierre Souvestre et Marcel Allain ont enfanté en
1911 une œuvre monstre. Fantômas, revers
obscur et grimaçant de notre monde, y
invente, page après page, une violence sans
visage, sans motivations et sans signification
apparente. La série des Fantômas a fasciné les
avant-gardes des années 1920-1930, qui en
10
ont loué le génie créatif et la puissance
subversive. Le mythe du criminel voleur
d’identités, tueur cruel, virtuose de la mise en
scène morbide, a inspiré tableaux, films
expérimentaux,
textes
poétiques
et
polémiques. Nourri par un travail de collecte
inédit, cet ouvrage propose de relire Fantômas
à la lumière des travaux qui ont questionné la
place des fictions dans les sociétés
contemporaines. La trajectoire du protagoniste
éclaire l’organisation du champ littéraire,
partagé entre littérature légitime et productions
de grande consommation. Consacrant la toutepuissance de l’information et des faits divers,
l’œuvre apparaît bien comme « l’Énéide des
temps modernes », selon la formule de Blaise
Cendrars. La modernité du XXe siècle naissant
y est, il est vrai, partout : grands magasins,
chirurgie plastique, nouvelles techniques
policières… En subvertissant les logiques
classiques du detective novel où la raison et la
progression de l’enquête priment sur le crime,
Fantômas questionne les identités sociales, le
maintien de l’Ordre et la répression des
pulsions.
Simenon, comme Pierre Assouline, Michel
Lemoine ou Jacques Dubois – chacun d’eux
présentant aux lecteurs à la fois une synthèse
des travaux déjà réalisés et une série d’apports
nouveaux. En outre, d’autres critiques se
joignent à ces spécialistes reconnus et portent
un regard neuf sur le vaste continent
simenonien._Après ces études, une deuxième
partie contient quelques grands articles
historiques sur Simenon, que ce dernier a pu
découvrir de son vivant – articles pour la
plupart devenus introuvables aujourd’hui.
Suivent des extraits de correspondances : le
lecteur retrouvera là quelques lettres
importantes comme celles que Gide ou Fellini
ont adressées au père de Maigret, mais aussi
des lettres tout à fait inédites, signées Cocteau,
Henry Miller ou Anaïs Nin._Aux dialogues d’hier
succède un dialogue entre passé et présent :
une section est en effet consacrée à des
entretiens réalisés par Laurent Demoulin au
sujet de Simenon avec de grands romanciers
d’aujourd’hui, comme Emmanuel Carrère,
Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Eugène Savitzkaya,
Philippe Claudel ou Philippe Delerm._La parole
est ensuite donnée à Simenon lui-même, à
travers deux grands entretiens : le plus
mémorables d’entre eux a eu lieu lors de
l’émission Apostrophes de Bernard Pivot le 27
novembre 1981, l’autre, tout à fait inédit, voit
l’écrivain dialoguer avec son ami le professeur
Maurice Piron les 20 et 21 septembre 1982._La
dernière partie est composée d’une série de
textes très rares ou d’inédits de Simenon luimême, qu’il s’agisse de contes écrits durant sa
jeunesse et publiés par Colette ; de réponses à
des questionnaires ; d’une lettre adressée par
l’écrivain à… son personnage Maigret ; d’un
extrait d’une adaptation théâtrale réalisée avec
la complicité de Frédéric Dard ; d’un récit de
souvenirs ou d’un appel que l’écrivain nous
lance, puisqu’il y apostrophe le XXIe siècle…

réédition en deux volumes, chez Robert Laffont

père de Maigret qui se veut à la fois généraliste

A scan of today's television programming
reveals numerous media stories, factual and

depictions can stray far from reality, with the
effect of creating and reinforcing distorted
impressions. This collection offers a sociological
analysis of race, class, and gender stereotypes
within crime media. Essays discuss particular
examples of inequalities and stereotypes,
consider the implications of such portrayals,
and demonstrate how they influence the
public's expectations and beliefs about realworld crime.

Malgré un succès d’audience partout dans le
monde, cette série historico-policière de sept
saisons et 156 épisodes ne fait pas l’objet
d’une édition DVD en raison du coût des droits
musicaux de sa très riche bande originale. Le
but de ce livre est de l’analyser sous un angle
historique et de contribuer à lui donner une
place dans la mémoire des sériephiles. Inspirés
par des faits réels et appuyés sur des
connaissances historiques précises, les crimes
résolus par les policiers de Cold Case proposent
un portrait « en coupe » – fictif et néanmoins
très
pédagogique
–
de
l’Amérique
contemporaine, avec un traitement tout
particulier de l’histoire des femmes et des
minorités. Il s’agit aussi de montrer que le
propos développé par les scénaristes de cette
série policière diffusée sur la chaîne hertzienne
conservatrice CBS est profondément « de
gauche » (la gauche américaine) et
progressiste. Enfin, en tant que série des
années 2000, Cold Case est bien sûr marquée
par les attentats du 11 Septembre et les deux
guerres (Afghanistan et Irak) que les ÉtatsUnis ont menées pendant sa diffusion.

Les Sons of Anarchy sont une bande de
motards du fin fond de la Californie qui ont
décidé de faire sécession avec l'autorité
publique. Leur business est illégal bien sûr et
leurs manières, peu courtoises. Ils chevauchent
leurs Harleys comme des destriers de l'enfer et
sur leurs blousons de cuir est cousu : « Ceux
du Chaos ». Les Sons sont en guerre. De leur
mode de vie atypique jusqu'à une critique de
fond de la puissance publique, la série offre un
bel aperçu de la figure de l'anarchiste.
En quoi notre monde, que l'on peut dire libre
au sens où nous vivons dans une démocratie ,
peut-il leur paraître oppressant, coercitif ? La
manière dont la puissance publique réagit face
à ces ploucs du désert qui n'aspirent à rien
d'autre qu'à vivre seuls suggère que notre
liberté est peut-être moins réelle qu'il n'y
paraît. Convoquant les plus grands penseurs
anarchistes, cet ouvrage a l'ambition de
montrer comment la série est à l'origine d'une
réflexion philosophique sur la morale, la justice
et la liberté.

In Michael Mann: Crime Auteur, Steven Rybin
looks at the television programs and films that
Mann has stamped with his personal signature.
This book closely examines the themes and
techniques used in films such as Manhunter,
Heat, The Insider, and Collateral and connects
these elements to his work on the non-genre
films The Last of the Mohicans and Ali. A
revised and significantly expanded edition of
The Cinema of Michael Mann (2007), this book
includes new chapters on Public Enemies and
the big screen version of Miami Vice, as well as
Mann’s work on the shows Crime Story and
Luck. Covering Mann’s entire career, this book
will be of interest to fans of the
writer/director’s body of work as well as to
scholars of both film and television.
several awards and has been described by
critics as the best show on television. In this
volume, author Sherryl Vint takes a close look
at several episodes of The Wire to argue that
the series challenges our understanding of the
relationship between entertainment and social
critique. Informed by recent work on race,
poverty, and the transformation of the
American inner city through neoliberalism, Vint
provides a compelling analysis of The Wire in
four chapters. First, she examines the season 1
episode "The Buys" as an example of the ways
in which The Wire diverges from the police
procedural format. She continues by
considering season 2's "All's Prologue" and
season 3's "Middle Ground" to explore in more
detail The Wire's critique of the exclusions of
the capitalist economy. In the final two
chapters, she looks at "Final Grades," the
fourth season finale, to highlight the problems
with institutional inertia and show both the
need for and barriers to reform, and uses the
season 5 episode "Clarifications" to consider
the failure of the media to adequately reflect
the social issues depicted in The Wire. One of
the landmark series of recent television history,
The Wire is ripe for research and discussion.
Fans of the series and those interested in social
commentary and the media will appreciate
Vint's new analysis in this volume.
SORRENTO, Matthew, The New American
Crime Film, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013,
222 pages. Préface de Stuart Gordon.
The most pervasive genre in contemporary
cinema, the American crime film has recently
enjoyed a new surge of popularity and
proliferation. Though these innovative films
now tackle topical issues, they continue to
reference the classic narratives and archetypes
established in the great crime pictures of past
decades. The titles explored in this critical
survey span many themes that have fused with
other genres to create fascinating filmic
hybrids. Focusing on character and plot
construction, the author highlights the gangster
and film noir traditions that still run strongly
through recent American cinema.
Among the many filmmakers analyzed within

Frequently described by creator David Simon
as a novel for television, The Wire redefined
the police serial format by unfolding its
narrative across many episodes, constructing
themes for each of its seasons, and refusing to
portray individual crimes outside of their social
context. While it never achieved spectacular
ratings or won an Emmy during its 2002-2008
run on HBO, the show was honored with

The fourteen original essays in this collection
explore how the field of science fiction has
developed as a complex of repetitions,
influences,
arguments,
and
broad
conversations. This particular feature of the
genre has been the source of much critical
commentary, most notably through growing
interest in the “sf megatext,” a continually
expanding archive of shared images, situations,
plots, characters, settings, and themes found in
science fiction across media. Contributors

Romanticism, Medicine and the Natural Supernatural
explores the relationship between the Romantic
preoccupation with visionary kinds of
experience and early nineteenth-century
medical theories of hallucination and the
nerves, placing it in the context of accounts of
perception in philosophical empiricism. Starting
with an examination of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic
narrative, and the canonical Romanticism of
Wordsworth and Coleridge, the book goes on to
examine the persistence of this medical topos
of hallucination and the visionary in mid
nineteenth-century writers influenced by
Romanticism, such as Harriet Martineau and
Harriet Beecher Stowe. The book concludes
with a discussion of how the pathological
language employed in early debates about PreRaphaelite painting reflects this Romantic
conception of the interrelationship between
nervous strain, hallucination and vision.
BRODMAN, Barbara & James E. Doan (eds.),
The Universal Vampire : Origins and
Evolution of a Legend, Madison, Fairleigh
Dickinson University Press, 2013, 262 pages.
A major question exists within vampire
scholarship: to what extent is this creature a
product of European cultural forms, or is the
vampire indeed a universal, perhaps even
archetypal figure? In this collection of sixteen
original essays, the editors shed light on this
question. One essay traces the origins of the
legend to the early medieval Norse draugr, an
“undead” creature who reflects the
underpinnings of Dracula, the latter first
appearing as a vampire in Anglo-Irish Bram
Stoker’s novel, Dracula, published in 1897.
In addition to these investigations of the
Western mythic, literary and historic traditions,
other essays in this volume move outside
Europe to explore vampire figures in Native
American and Mesoamerican myth and ritual,
as well as the existence of similar vampiric
traditions in Japanese, Russian and Latin
American art, theatre, literature, film and other
cultural productions.

This book explores the fantastic in the
panorama of contemporary Spanish theater
from Ramon del Valle-Inclan until today. In
trying to label criticism as slick as "fantastic",
we should clarify that sense applies to that
end: this is the purpose of the first chapter,
which defines this category as a literary form
and not as a genre, and outlines besides its
host (or rather, its rejection) in the intellectual
and literary environment of nineteenth-century
Spain.

From the first illustrated edition of Jules
Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth in
1867, dinosaurs and prehistory have fascinated
readers. Writers would time and again come
back to dinosaurs as an element of fantastic
fiction, often using these creatures--through
the venue of the written word--to reflect the
world of the writers’ own time.__This literary
survey examines how "paleoliterature"
originated, developed and matured to the
present day. Also discussed are the ways in
which dinosaur fiction mirrors contemporary
ideas about subjects such as geology, the Cold
War, environmentalism, time travel, evolution
and bioengineering.__Featured authors include
Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Poul Anderson,
among others. In select cases, the
novelizations of movie scripts are also
examined. An appendix provides brief
summaries of deserving dinosaur texts.

The French Revolution brings to mind violent
mobs, the guillotine, and Madame Defarge, but
it was also a publishing revolution: more than
1,200 novels were published between 1789 and
1804, when Napoleon declared the Revolution
at an end. In this book, Julia V. Douthwaite
explores how the works within this enormous
corpus announced the new shapes of literature
to come and reveals that vestiges of these
stories can be found in novels by the likes of
Mary Shelley, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Honoré de
Balzac, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, and
L. Frank Baum.

In the mid-1980s, Easton Press began
publishing a series of leather-bound collector
editions called “Masterpieces of Science Fiction”
and “Masterpieces of Fantasy,” which featured
some of the most important works in these
genres. James Gunn was commissioned to
write introductions to these works, which
allowed him to pay tribute to many authors
who inspired and influenced his own work.
In Paratexts: Introductions to Science Fiction
and Fantasy, Gunn has collected the most
significant essays produced for the Easton
series, along with prefaces he wrote for
reprints of his own novels. Cited here are some
of the most significant works of 19th and 20th
century science fiction and fantasy, such as
The Island of Dr. Moreau, 1984, Stranger in a
Strange Land, A Clockwork Orange, Speaker

Prose by Poets in Nineteenth-Century
France, London, Legenda, (Legenda Main

To a backdrop of dizzying urbanization, French
utopian thinkers of the nineteenth century set
out to explore the transformative possibilities
of the modern metropolis. Linking literary
analyses with diverse strands of cultural and
intellectual history, this study considers how
the utopian vision of the city in turn came to
impinge on prose writing by poets: in SaintSimonian literature, and in texts by Théophile
Gautier, Charles Baudelaire and Arthur
Rimbaud. At points steeped in the hyperbolic
rhetoric of utopian projects, these texts
nonetheless wear away at the internal
coherence of that rhetoric and the idealizing
meanings it supports.

"new wave in science fiction." Critics called it
"dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the
lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver
Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation
between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest
controversies to hit the science fiction genre.
Today these stories of the remnants of a
sinister ancient civilization living in caverns
under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar
to the historical record. The Shaver Mystery
began as a series of science fiction yarns in
Amazing Stories nearly 70 years ago. The men
behind it, Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver,
were derided and seldom understood by a
fandom that did its best to sweep them under
the carpet of history. Though Ray Palmer was
one of the earliest and biggest names in SF
fandom, credited with many firsts in his field,
his fannish brethren have roundly ignored him,
thanks to the Shaver Mystery. What is the
truth behind these men and their "mystery"?
This is the question writers and editors that
promoted the Shaver Mystery try to answer as
they reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the
phenomenon known as "Shaverism."

Throughout history, from at least as far back as
the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind has shown a
fascination with physical transformation-especially that of humans into animals. Tales of
such transformations appear in every culture
across the course of history. They have been
featured in the Western world in the work of
such authors as Ovid, Petronius, Marie de
France, Saint Augustine, Jack Williamson,
Charles de Lint, Charaline Harris, Terry
Pratchett, and J. K. Rowling.

THURSTON, Luke, Literary Ghosts from the
Victorians to Modernism : The Haunting
Interval, New York, Routledge, 2012, 186
pages.
This book resituates the ghost story as a
matter of literary hospitality and as part of a
vital prehistory of modernism, seeing it not as
a quaint neo-gothic ornament, but as a
powerful literary response to the technological
and psychological disturbances that marked the
end of the Victorian era. Linking little-studied
authors like M. R. James and May Sinclair to
such canonical figures as Dickens, Henry
James, Woolf, and Joyce, Thurston argues that
the literary ghost should be seen as no mere
relic of gothic style but as a portal of discovery,
an opening onto the central modernist problem
of how to write ‘life itself.’ Ghost stories are
split between an ironic, often parodic reference
to Gothic style and an evocation of ‘life itself,’
an implicit repudiation of all literary style.
Reading the ghost story as both a guest and a
host story, this book traces the ghost as a
disruptive figure in the ‘hospitable’ space of
narrative from Maturin, Poe and Dickens to the
fin de siècle, and then on into the twentieth
century.
The book covers work by well-known time
travel writers such as H. G. Wells, Edward
Bellamy, Robert Heinlein, Samuel Delany, and
Harlan Ellison, as well as pulp fiction writers of
the 1920s through the 1940s, popular and
avant-garde postwar science fiction, television
shows such as The Twilight Zone and Star Trek, and
current cinema. Literature, film and TV are
read alongside theoretical work ranging from
Einstein, Schrödinger, and Hawking to Gérard
Genette, David Lewis, and Gilles Deleuze.
Wittenberg argues that even the most
mainstream audiences of popular time travel
fiction and cinema are vigorously engaged with
many of the same questions about temporality,
identity, and history that concern literary
theorists, media and film scholars, and
philosophers.
WRIGHT, Angela, Britain, France and the
Gothic, 1764-1820 : The Import of Terror,
Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013,
231 pages.
In describing his proto-Gothic fiction, The
Castle of Otranto (1764), as a translation,
Horace Walpole was deliberately playing on
national anxieties concerning the importation of
war, fashion and literature from France in the
aftermath of the Seven Years' War. In the last
decade of the eighteenth century, as Britain
went to war again with France, this time in the
wake of revolution, the continuing connections
between Gothic literature and France through
the realms of translation, adaptation and
unacknowledged borrowing led to strong
suspicions of Gothic literature taking on a
subversive role in diminishing British
patriotism. Angela Wright explores the
development of Gothic literature in Britain in
the context of the fraught relationship between
Britain and France, offering fresh perspectives
on the works of Walpole, Radcliffe, 'Monk'
Lewis and their contemporaries.

The Use of Imaginary,
Historical and Actual Maps in Literature :
How British and Irish Authors Created
Imaginary Worlds to Tell Their Stories,
Lewiston, Edwin Mellen Press, 2013, 386
pages.
In this text, the author highlights unrecorded
discoveries about how maps and literature are
associated. Not only do maps give us a tool by
which to understand a physical reality as it
actually exists, but maps can support the realm
of literary fiction – such as Tolkien’s Middle
Earth, or Stevenson’s Treasure Island. There
are also maps that try to catch a certain
historical moment like an urban space at a

particular time period, or a rural environment.
While maps had historically guided travel, in
literature they provide an escape mechanism
that transports the audience to an unfamiliar
place. Maps can create images that color the
contours of the reader’s imagination, thereby
fortifying the creativity of the story being told.
Is there a verisimilitude where the authors are
trying to realistically depict a scene as it
actually exists, or does the story try to create a
magical fantasy world conjured up out of thin
air? The use of maps gives an array of options,
and the story can hinge on what kind of setting
the author creates through their employment.

Using feminist and psychological theory,
Deconstructing Twilight examines the behavior,
relationships, and gender roles depicted in the
popular Twilight series. Using perspectives
from both fans and detractors of the series, it
discusses whether the character of Bella, and
the series in general, is antifeminist or an
example of modern feminism, and whether the
relationship between Bella and Edward is
healthy or maladjusted.

Arcadia, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 288
pages.
This
volume
attempts
an
objective
reassessment of the controversial works and
life of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft.
Ignoring secondary accounts and various
received truths, Gavin Callaghan goes back to
the weird texts themselves, and follows where
Lovecraft leads him: into an arcane world of
parental giganticism and inverted classicism, in
which Lovecraft’s parental obsessions were
twisted into the all-powerful cosmic monsters
of his imaginary cosmology.

Entre la rédaction de Vingt mille lieues sous les mers
et Autour de la Lune, Jules Verne avait été sollicité
par son éditeur Hetzel pour remanier un livre
écrit par le romancier et journaliste anglais
James Greenwood (1832-1929) et illustré par
le Français Ernest _Griset (1843-1907), dont
les aventures débridées paraissaient à
première vue bien compatibles avec celles des
« Voyages extraordinaires ». Mais l’éditeur
Hetzel s’était trompé : les changements
proposés par Verne étaient si radicaux qu’il
recula devant leur réalisation.
L’édition établie par Volker Dehs d’après
l’original conservé aux Bibliothèques d’Amiens
Métropole permet d’apprécier — simultanément
ou l’une après l’autre — la version originale des
Aventures surprenantes de trois vieux marins (1866) et
la version que Jules Verne aurait voulu en faire
en 1869. L’introduction présente J. Greenwood,
un des protagonistes les plus singuliers du
journalisme anglais, indûment oublié de nos
jours, et retrace la curieuse destinée de ce livre
dont l’humour caustique peut encore
aujourd’hui déconcerter comme lors de sa
première parution.

The Transgressive Iain Banks : Essays on
a Writer Beyond Borders, Jefferson (NC),
McFarland, 2013, 275 pages.
This collection of 12 new essays draws together
prominent literary experts to explore the
importance of Scottish writer Iain (M.) Banks,
both his mainstream and science fiction work.
The book considers Banks as an habitual
border crosser who makes things fresh and
new by subversive and transgressive
strategies. The essays are divided into four
thematic areas: the Scottish context, the
geographies of his writing, the impact of genre,
and a combined focus on gender, games and
play.

HARMAN, Graham,
Weird Realism :
Lovecraft and Philosophy, Winchester Zero
Books, 2012, 268 pages.
Lovecraft was one of the brightest stars of the
horror and science fiction magazines, but died
in poverty and relative obscurity in the 1930s.
In 2005 he was finally elevated from pulp
status to the classical literary canon with the
release of a Library of America volume
dedicated to his work. The impact of Lovecraft
on philosophy has been building for more than
a decade. Initially championed by shadowy
guru Nick Land at Warwick during the 1990s,
he was later discovered to be an object of
private fascination for all four original members
of the twenty-first century Speculative Realist

movement. In this book, Graham Harman
extracts the basic philosophical concepts
underlying the work of Lovecraft, yielding a
weird realism capable of freeing continental
philosophy from its current soul-crushing
impasse. Abandoning pious references by
Heidegger to Hölderlin and the Greeks, Harman
develops a new philosophical mythology
centered in such Lovecraftian figures as
Cthulhu, Wilbur Whately, and the rat-like
monstrosity Brown Jenkin. The Miskatonic River
replaces the Rhine and the Ister, while
Hölderlin's Caucasus gives way to Lovecraft's
Antarctic mountains of madness.

ARNOLD, Sarah, Maternal Horror Film :
Melodrama and Motherhood, New York,
Palgrave Macmillan, 2013, 216 pages.
Horror film is particularly prone to articulating
fears and tensions about maternal figures, and
reflects cultural apprehensions concerning the
changing nature of motherhood. Via
predominantly US and European case studies,
Maternal Horror Film: Melodrama and Motherhood
establishes a framework for understanding two
dominant representations of motherhood: selfsacrificing and demonic. Building on this,
Arnold investigates how discourses of
motherhood exist within East Asian horror texts
using popular recent horror films to illustrate.
Historical and contemporary case studies
include Psycho (1960), Poltergeist (1985), Invasion
(2007), Ringu (1998), The Others (2001), Dark
Water (2003), and The Seventh Sign (1988).

(1960) is investigated as the watershed
moment when the genre opened its doors to
the possibility that any horror movie--classic,
modern, B-movie, and more--might be remade
for contemporary audiences.__Staple horror
franchises--Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th
(1980), and A Nightmare on Elm Street
(1984)--are highlighted along with their
remake counterparts in order to illustrate how
the genre has embraced a phenomenon of
remake productions and what the future of
horror holds for American cinema. More than
25 original films, their remakes, and the
movies they influenced are presented in
detailed discussions throughout the text.

The first Planet of the Apes movie appeared in
1968, based on the novel by Pierre Boulle. Now
a popular and expanding franchise, the everinventive sequels and prequels raise important
philosophical questions about animal rights,
genetic engineering, race relations, time travel,
and our place in the cosmos. In Planet of the
Apes and Philosophy: Great Apes Think Alike,
twenty-three philosophers provide varied
viewpoints on this impressive phenomenon of
popular culture.

Le Prisonnier est d'abord l'oeuvre d'un homme,
Patrick McGoohan, qui livre à la postérité un
chef d'oeuvre inégalé. Jamais une fiction
télévisée n'a été à ce point étudiée, disséquée
et documentée depuis l'apparition du petit
écran. Acteur, réalisateur, scénariste,
producteur, directeur de casting et finalement
maître d'oeuvre habité par une ambition,
McGoohan a tenté un pari que l'on peut juger
fou et livré en seulement 17 épisodes une
contribution majeure à la culture populaire.
Le Prisonnier est également une série inscrite
dans le temps. Elle est à la fois le témoin de
son époque, la fin des années 60, et
prophétique par bien des aspects en dénonçant
l'aliénation de la société de consommation, la
tyrannie du pouvoir, la fascination pour la
médecine, la surveillance croissante de
l'individu et la perte des repères de l'identité de
chacun d'entre nous dans un phénomène
croissant d'isolement.

PHILLIPS, Nickie D. & Staci STROBL, Comic
Book Crime : Truth, Justice and the
American
W a y , New York, New York
University Press, 2013, 320 pages.
Through an analysis of approximately 200
comic books sold from 2002 to 2010, as well as
several years of immersion in comic book fan
culture, Phillips and Strobl reveal the kinds of
themes and plots popular comics feature in a
post-9/11 context. They discuss heroes’
calculations of “deathworthiness,” or who
should be killed in meting out justice, and how
these judgments have as much to do with the
hero’s character as they do with the actions of
the villains. This fascinating volume also
analyzes how class, race, ethnicity, gender,
and sexual orientation are used to construct
difference for both the heroes and the villains
in ways that are both conservative and
progressive. Engaging, sharp, and insightful,
Comic Book Crime is a fresh take on the very
meaning of truth, justice, and the American
way.

In Enter the Superheroes: American Values, Culture, and
the Canon of Superhero Literature, Alex S. Romagnoli
and Gian S. Pagnucci argue that superheroes
merit serious study, both within the academy
and beyond. By examining the kinds of graphic
novels that are embraced by the academy, this
book explains how superhero stories are just as
significant. Structured around key themes
within superhero literature, the book delves
into the features that make superhero stories a
unique genre. The book also draws upon
examples in comics and other media to
illustrate the sociohistorical importance of
superheroes—from the interplay of fans and
creators to unique narrative elements that are
brought to their richest fulfillment within the
world of superheroes. A list of noteworthy
superhero texts that readers can look to for
future study is also provided.
McKINNEY, Mark, Redrawing French Empire
in Comics, Columbus, Ohio State University
Press, (Studies in Comics and Cartoons), 2013,
304 pages.
Redrawing French Empire in Comics by Mark
McKinney investigates how comics have
represented the colonization and liberation of
Algeria and Indochina. It focuses on the
conquest and colonization of Algeria (from
1830), the French war in Indochina
(1946–1954), and the Algerian War
(1954–1962). Imperialism and colonialism
already featured prominently in nineteenthcentury French-language comics and cartoons
by Töpffer, Cham, and Petit. Redrawing French
Empire in Comics shows how contemporary
cartoonists such as Alagbé, Baloup, Boudjellal,
Ferrandez, and Sfar have staked out different,
sometimes conflicting, positions on French
colonial history.

Examining dozens of Westerns, including
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Red River, 3:10 to Yuma
(old and new), The Wild Ones, High Noon, My
Darling Clementine, The Alamo, and No Country for Old
Men, Brode demonstrates that the genre (with
notable exceptions that he fully covers) was
the product of Hollywood liberals who used it to
project a progressive agenda on issues such as
gun control, environmental protection, respect
for non-Christian belief systems, and
community
cohesion
versus
rugged
individualism. Challenging us to rethink
everything we thought we knew about the
genre, Brode argues that the Western stands
for precisely the opposite of what most people
today—whether they love it or hate it—believe
to be the essential premise of “the only truly,
authentically, and uniquely American narrative
form.”

Holocaust Impiety in Literature, Popular Music and Film
is an account of provocative and controversial
representations of the Holocaust. Many wellknown artists have attracted criticism for
approaching the Nazi genocide in ways that
have been deemed ill-conceived or offensive.
Examples include Sylvia Plath's notorious claim
that 'Every woman adores a Fascist' in her
poem 'Daddy' and songs such as 'Belsen Was a
Gas' by the Sex Pistols. The Holocaust has
even provided material for stand-up comedy
and gory Hollywood blockbusters such as
Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Ce premier volume, consacré à l'étude du
