La prise de la parole dans Les Contes philosophiques de Diderot Acta Neophilologica Pub Date : 2020-11-27 Primož Vitez
Tous les contes de Diderot, et la plupart de ses romans, fonctionnent comme du théâtre latent.

La peinture d’El Greco remplissait Barrès d’étonnement et d’admiration parce qu’elle répondait à la manière dont l’écrivain appréhendait le culte du fort et de l’exceptionnel. C’est la quête de l’absolu qui perfectionne les êtres dominés par l’unique tendance – vivre dans l’exaltation du moi jusqu’à ce qu’ils ne fusionnent avec l’absolu. Pour cette raison Barrès était capable de saisir le génie multifonctionnel

Wilfried Steiner’s Der Weg nach Xanadu – an Austrian Campus Novel? Acta Neophilologica Pub Date : 2019-12-17 Dieter Fuchs
This article focuses on Wilfried Steiner’s 2003 novel Der Weg nach Xanadu / The Way To Xanadu which appears to be an Austrian campus novel owing to the setting of the Austrian world of academia in its first part. Owing to its lack of local coloring, however, the Vienna-based plot of the first part does not feature a (stereo)typically ‘Austrian’ genius loci. Although this part of the text echoes features

‘The Delightful Logic of Intoxication’: Fictionalising Alcoholism Acta Neophilologica Pub Date : 2019-12-17 Wojciech Klepuszewski
Alcohol invariably connotes different, often conflicting, feelings. As Iain Gately rightly observes in Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol (2009), it “has been credited with the powers of inspiration and destruction” (1). This reflection is as relevant to classical antiquity, when wine was savoured during the Greek symposia, as to the modern world, in which alcohologists study the devastating effects

The Circus and the Deadly Child: Ruptures of Social Code in Jude the Obscure Acta Neophilologica Pub Date : 2018-11-21 Tobias Wilson-Bates
Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure has frequently been read as Hardy›s social critique of marriage, class, and systemic education.
