Hip Sublime
One of the contributors to this well-executed volume, Stephen Dickey, suggests that it's “no longer necessary” to address the widespread misconception that the Beat Generation writers had no literary culture (32). I wish that were true, but my impression as someone who writes about the Beat Generation is that this misconception is still quite persistent. Nonetheless, the editors of and contributors to Hip Sublime do an excellent job of avoiding a…

Critiques of Early Modern Criticism
Whether or not we were already involved with the academic profession in the 1980s, most of us have heard quite a bit about the so-called theory wars of that time. The existence of this institute is an indication that, though without remaining as loud, shrill, and preemptively disqualifying as in those days, that set of conflicts has never been settled. Following the many attacks that theory saw when it began to mark most areas of literary studies…
Literatures of Exile and Return
Melehy’s essay explores Jack Kerouac’s relationship to the Québécois diaspora of which his Massachusetts family was a part, his experience of English as a foreign language, and how these inform his aesthetics. Melehy situates the discussion in debates on multilingualism in the study of American literature as well as theories of minor literature and translation. He demonstrates that Kerouac’s realism involves an effort to bring into dominant US re…
Jacques Rancière
Although relatively unknown a decade ago, the work of Jacques Rancière is fast becoming a central reference in the humanities and social sciences. His thinking brings a fresh, innovative approach to many fields, notably the study of work, education, politics, literature, film, art, as well as philosophy. This is the first, full-length introduction to Rancière s work and covers the full range of his contribution to contemporary thought, presenting…

Joachim Du Bellay’s Dream Language
Dans cet article, l’auteur se propose d’interpréter le Songe de Joachim Du Bellay comme travail du rêve, au sens psychanalytique. Cette série de poèmes a souvent été critiquée pour son obscurité; mais c’est en fonction de cette obscurité qu’elle révèle son sens, qui porte sur le flux constant du sens des signes poétiques. La disposition des signes du Songe met l’accent sur la distance entre signifiant et signifié, notamment en ce qui concerne le …

At a time when Hollywood is as formulaic as ever, when the representatives of French cinema we receive in the U.S. seem to be attacking critical thought (Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element [1997] could by itself constitute a Ministry of Anti-Education), it is refreshing to read a book that considers with seriousness and a highly cont…
