Embedding automated train operations safety within urban mobility transitions
Automated Train Operations (ATO) are increasingly central to smart city mobility strategies, yet their safety implications remain underexplored from a systems planning perspective. This study reframes ATO safety as a question of urban mobility resilience and infrastructure transition, examining how integrated modelling can support evidence-based planning for next-generation rail systems. Using Sydney Metro’s Northwest corridor as an empirical cas…

The subject of rape
Rape is a tricky issue for feminists, not least because it poses the problem of how to protect women as violable embodied subjects without assuming a mind/body separation that goes against the contemporary conceptualisation of the embodied subject. This article explores this tension in feminist discourses in France in the 1970s and uses Luce Irigaray’s radical reconsideration of the embodied subject as intrinsically violable and relational in Dem…
Psychic Plagiarism
The notion of 'psychic plagiarism' was formulated in 2007 when Camille Laurens, the author of Philippe , a memoir recounting the death of her son, accused fellow writer Marie Darrieussecq of borrowing from it in her novel Tom est mort . In alleging that Darrieussecq had appropriated her loss, Laurens also suggests that any first-person fictional narrative of the death of a child necessarily appropriates others' grief. Rather than debating the cha…
Rape, Silence and Disembodiment in Anne Hébert's Les Fous de Bassan
Theories of rape suggest that rape is commonly represented in texts by silence, a silence that stands in for the violated body; analysing narrative representations of rape means by implication tracing how its impact is deflected and restoring focus to the body. This article rethinks the relation between rape, narrative and the body through a study of the French-Canadian writer Anne Hébert's Les Fous de Bassan (1982). In this novel, sexual violati…
Memory and Innovation in Post-Holocaust France
This special issue explores different representations of cultural memory in France since the Holocaust, a period overshadowed by historical trauma (wars, decolonization, genocide), in which memory has become an increasingly dominant cultural obsession. Contested representations of cultural memory have given rise to important critical and philosophical debates, which pivot on the relation between memory and history, the individual and the collecti…

Writing Wounds
In the last decade, the question of how trauma is remembered and narrated has become increasingly crucial in literary studies and in psychotherapy. Writing Wounds rethinks the relation between trauma, memory and narrative through readings of key fictional, autobiographical and “autofictional” texts by recent French women writers: Marie Cardinal, Chantal Chawaf, Hélène Cixous, Charlotte Delbo, Béatrice de Jurquet and Sarah Kofman. By drawing on an…
