Not as Clear as Day: On Irony, Humor, and Poeticity in the Closed Simile
This paper takes up the much-neglected figure of the closed simile, a simile in which the ground is explicitly stated, as in “the dress is as black as coal.” In the typical case, which we call standard, the ground is a highly-salient feature of the source term (e.g., black is a salient feature of coal), but our concern is with the non-standard closed similes, those in which the ground is a non- or low-salient feature of the source (e.g., “black a…

After outlining some basic types of (genuine and pseudo) dialogue that can be found in day-to-day communication and in literature, the essay focuses on Defoe's Robinson Crusoe as a test case fo…
Literary genres — alive and kicking: The productivity of a literary concept

La premiere considere que la notion de genre est obsolete face a la litterature d'aujourd'hui ; ce postulat est a nuancer doublement : d'une part les regles du genre ont garde toute leur importance dans la litterature de grande consommation, d'autre part la « grande litterature » elle-meme est liee au detournement de certaines normes ou regl…
