Le meurtre d'un notable sème l'émoi à Kilis; le trafic d'armes et l'industrie pharmaceutique ne font pas toujours bon ménage. Dépassée par la situation, son ex-femme requiert l'aide de Fisher, une ...vieille connaissance. Grâce à son estimé collègue, le Dr Derren, il va forcer les mémoires à se livrer.
Even if James M. Cain’s novels are officially identified as “hardboiled,” they plumb the depths of Zolaesque naturalism beyond the shadow of a doubt. Cainian naturalism taps into the ideas of the ...Italian school of criminology while adding more recent viewpoints because the naturalistic work developed up to a new era, a period of impressive medical, psychological and sociological progress. Furthermore, hardboiled writers, even if they held fast to detective and Mafiosi stories, prepared the ground for a new representation of criminological-oriented art – professional criminals had started to make room for neophytes and empowered women. This paper points out the obvious similarities between European naturalism and American hardboiled. Characters are beasts in which ferocity always seems to be about to rouse. The downfalls often surface from overwhelming figures of authority. The ghosts of the victims, the lawyers or the boss stop the couples in their tracks. The passionate and bloody impetus they had stops dead. But they had previously been warned; naturalism and the hardboiled fiction disseminate omens. From Zola’s to Cain’s, storylines have fatalistic hues.
Professor Cousineau demonstrates an impressive original scholarly kind of comprehension of modernist texts, submitting them under scrutiny with an archetypal critical lens and thus reveals “the ...uncanny return of the Manole Complex in nine masterpieces of literary modernism”. The intellectual spark that inspired Professor Cousineau was Mircea Eliade’s Commentaires sur la Légende de Maître Manole where Eliade’s claims that Manole’s wife does not actually die: “She is, rather, transformed; her soul leaves her body of flesh and bones and goes to live in the stone and plaster body of the monastery”. (Eliade, 1994, p.168) In each of the chapters of the volume under discussion, the author further elaborates on Eliade’s concept of architectural body, finding it under sundry metamorphoses in the iconic literary modernist works from Europe and USA.
Cet article propose une lecture axée sur la prégnance du vin et du monde rural et viticole dans deux romans de l’historien, journaliste et écrivain français contemporain, Jean-Charles Chapuzet : ...Verticale (2009) et À l’aveugle (2013). En effet, ces deux récits procurent respectivement une approche de la fiction que l’on pourrait désigner de « œnotouristique », ainsi qu’un polar qui enquête cavistes et vignerons. Ce faisant, ces deux textes – qui appellent, entre autres, une lecture écocritique – plantent un décor, et invoquent un imaginaire, qui exaltent le vin comme élément mythique et fusionnel du terroir.

This paper offers a reading focused on the importance of wine and the rural world in two novels by the historian, journalist and contemporary French writer, Jean-Charles Chapuzet: Verticale (2009) ...and À l’Aveugle (2013). Indeed, these two novels respectively provide an approach to fiction that could be called “wine tourism”, as well as a thriller that investigates wine merchants and winegrowers. In doing so, these two texts - which call for, among other things, an ecocritic reading - set the scene, and invoke an imagination, which exalt wine as a mythical and fused element of the terroir.
La Peste series (Movistar Plus+) represented a pre-pandemic benchmark in transmedia and hybrid (online and offline) fictional storytelling. This research delves into the keys for the construction of ...suspense through the development of interactive actions that place the public in a leading position in the story through the dialogue between geographical, fictional and expanded space. Therefore, we will examine the resignification of the city through the image built up by the participation of the viewer –in the series– and the user –in the transmedia actions–. We address both the study of the fictional and augmented space, taking into account the territory occupied by the different strata that made up the city in the sixteenth century, and the processes of expansion of the contents through interactive cartographies, movie maps, and Alternative Reality Games (ARG). As a result, we observe an expansion of the series through the metaphor of the map in an expedition that flits between past and present; fiction and reality; geographical space and cyberspace; the traditional medium –television series– and multiplatform formats, which produces at the same time a novel approach to the urban space of Seville from an experiential perspective.
Cet article analyse deux œuvres filmiques du cinéaste dominicain Andrés Farías Cintrón, le court-métrage Tiznao (2015) et le long-métrage Candela (2021), toutes deux adaptées des romans policiers de ...Rey Andújar, et du roman Candela (2007) en particulier. Il retrace les différentes étapes de la création qui ont conduit des romans aux films et s’interroge sur les spécificités des deux formats, court et long, pour adapter l’énigme policière dans sa forme audiovisuelle. L’étude se centre enfin sur la construction et la signification des principaux personnages du film Candela, impliqués dans l’intrigue et l’enquête policière, pour souligner le questionnement identitaire transcaribéen du cinéaste et pour ériger finalement le cyclone en protagoniste central symbolique, à travers le personnage du Tiznao.
