“Intercultural Encounters”: Mentorship Relations as Spaces for Critical Intercultural Learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)
There are growing numbers of African international students studying at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in North America and the United Kingdom. Intercultural mentoring is one response to supporting students in navigating the complex cultural, social, and academic transitions from home to host countries. This article examines the experiences of 18 participants who had recently mentored African international students attending higher educatio…
Les protestants à Nantes et Saint-Nazaire au XIX e siècle: Leur action au service du développement urbain et portuaire
Nantes occupe le premier rang des ports français jusqu’au milieu du xviii e siècle. Le décret d’abolition de l’esclavage, l’indépendance de Saint-Domingue, le blocus continental et la fin du commerce triangulaire provoquent l’effondrement du trafic portuaire au début du xix e siècle. Dans le même temps, le développement de l’empire colonial français et la révolution industrielle entraînent la transformation du port de commerce en port de producti…

Nabokov's Art of Memory and European Modernism
Nabokov and Science Fiction: “Lance”
On the surface, Vladimir Nabokov’s attitude towards SF appears self-contradictory: he frequently disparaged the genre, but admired H.G. Wells and other SF authors: moreover, a number of his own works appear to be SF. “Lance” is typical: although including a harsh criticism of SF, this story of the first landing on Mars is itself demonstrably S-F. However, it is also a retelling of a medieval romance and a description of mountain-climbing. The ins…
Nabokov's Fifth Arc: Nabokov and Others on His Life's Work
In his autobiography Speak, Memory, Vladimir Nabokov compared his life to a spiral, in which twirl follows twirl, and every synthesis is the thesis of the next series. The first four arcs of the spiral of Nabokov's life-his youth in Russia, voluntary exile in Europe, two decades spent in the United States, and the final years of his life in Switzerland-are now followed by a fifth arc, his continuing life in literary history, which this volume bot…
