Abstract As a fictional adaptation of the life of a real-life drifter (Setina Arhab), Agnès Varda’s 1985 film Sans toit ni loi presents the filmmaker with certain ethical questions.

Can one represent those who may refuse representation

A clear example of this temporality, in which a tremendous amount of labor and resources are expended to produce the consensus that no political change is possible or necessary, is the 24-hour news cycle

They take center stage in these films and force the viewer to confront

Male gaze : le devenir absent du concept Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Marie Kondrat

Photographie et réserve d’imaginaire Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Perrine Gaudry
Abstract The first hermaphrodite photographs date from 1860 by Nadar. They are mostly framed by an anatomical and medical perspective according to which hermaphroditism is a pathology. However, one can read something much more ambiguous in this series. Other relationships are played at the margins of categories of gender, sex, sexuality, reality and fiction. I propose to re-read these photos according

“We must leave traces”: Media and Memory in Two Graphic Novels Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Isabelle Chen
Abstract At the height of the Spanish Civil War, over 450,000 Spanish citizens fled to France in an exodus known as the Retirada. Multimediality has long marked representations of this history: among its first accounts were illustrated texts by refugees held in French detention camps, and many contemporary works about this period integrate a similar interplay of words and images. This article explores

It is a study of the materiality of the

Lop-sided Laws: French Muslims and Laïcité Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Alec G. Hargreaves
Abstract After dozens of attacks during the past ten years in which hundreds have been killed by French jihadists, it is often suggested that subversive attitudes towards the Republic and its code of laïcité are widespread among Muslims in France. Yet while Muslims are often at odds with recent laws that they consider to be unfairly targeted against them, those interviewed in opinion surveys express

Decolonial Theory or the Invention of a Common Enemy Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Dominic Thomas, Nicolas Bancel,, Pascal Blanchard
Abstract On both sides of the Atlantic, polemics have been raging on complex questions relating to identity and race: cancel culture, wokism, critical race theory, assaults on affirmative action policies, and labeling scholars “Islamo-Leftists.” The focus of this article is provided by a closer examination of the ways in which a group of militant academics have instrumentalized the notion of “decolonialism”

L’Islam de France ou les Banlieues de la Laïcité Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Ahmed Boubeker
Abstract Since the 1980s, the question of Islam in France has been an element of the smaller and larger fears of French society. First exploited by the countries of origin of Muslim immigrants or by mayors of suburbs wishing to use religious associations to combat delinquency, the construction of Islam in France quickly came up against a current situation made up of the successive “affairs of Islamic

Abstract During the 2022 presidential race in France, left-wing groups and leaders were systematically accused of "Islamo-leftism,” by opponents, in other words of being complicit in what is generally described as a radical Islamist project that is endangering the French Republic. In recent years, accusations of "Islamo-leftism" against groups or individuals associated with the left wing of the political

Drawing on an analysis of the imperial and colonial genealogies of secularization, it then moves on to examine some structural polemics in contemporary France: polemics about the veil since 1989 and the more recent debate on Wokism and Islamo-leftism among intellectuals.

The Moral Panic of Islamo-gauchisme in Service of a Colorblind Approach to Racism Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Jean Beaman, Aurélien Mondon
Abstract This essay frames Islamo-gauchisme as a moral panic and discusses how, why, and when it emerged as such in France, its relationship with critical race theory (a moral panic in the U.S.), and the broader societal implications of Islamo-gauchisme as a moral panic. More precisely, we discuss how and why Islamo-gauchisme entered the zeitgeist and why this moral panic is so dangerous. We demonstrate

Les Juifs de France et la laïcité. Essai de regard historique et jalons de comparaison avec le cas musulman Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Jérémy Guedj
Abstract This article proposes to rethink, in broad strokes, the links between between the Jews of France and secularism by historicizing the subject and presenting the major issues. However, a diachronic vision shows that these relations are not linear and cannot be reduced to the simple model of ”Israelism“ or ”Franco-Judaism“, which was especially valid for the first half of the century. This leads

Allegory and Accusation: The Rhetoric of Islamo-gauchisme Contemporary French and Francophone Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Emilio Spadola
Abstract While historical and anthropological critiques of secularism have illuminated its contradictory claims, they have been less attentive to secularism’s rhetorical force, i.e., its performative effect. Before theorizing the rhetoric of “Islamo-Gauchisme” and contemporary secularism more broadly, then, this article first traces this inattention to an influential line of argument grounded in anthropologist
