Généalogie du cliché
Dans cet article, j’utilise le concept de cliché constitutif de Michael Riffaterre comme un outil heuristique afin de tracer une généalogie du cliché comme catégorie esthétique. La première partie est dédiée à l’origine typographique du cliché littéraire comme stéréotype, rappelant que sa dénotation est systématiquement négative dans le contexte de la production de masse. La deuxième partie définit le cliché littéraire comme dépendant d’un horizo…
Universal Histories
The Nostalgic Imagination
Collini has long been interested in the role of intellectuals, and more particularly literary critics, in British public life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But in his latest book he examines the tendentious-though not explicitly acknowledged-uses of historical generalization in a number of twentieth-century critics in Britain, beginning with T. S.

The Genealogy of the Romantic Symbol
Despite its widely acknowledged importance in and beyond the thought of the Romantic period, the distinctive concept of the symbol articulated by such writers as Goethe and F.W.J. Schelling in Germany, and S.T. Coleridge in England, has defied adequate historical explanation. In contrast to previous scholarship, Nicholas Halmi's study provides such an explanation by relating the content of Romantic symbolist theory - often criticized as irrationa…
