From author to saint
This paper argues that during the French colonization of Vietnam the emergence of Les Misérables as a transnational work and Victor Hugo as a global figure can be traced back to their successful and seamless integration into local literature and religion. Based on the concept of appropriation, a process in which the target text “takes over” the source text, subjecting it to different forms of transformation, a rereading of Hugo and his masterpiec…
Le Palais du mandarin (2009) de Thanh-Van Tran-Nhut
Le Palais du mandarin est un recueil de nouvelles fictives et autobiographiques où, pour la première fois, l’auteure de polars Tran-Nhut abandonne le genre du roman policier historique et le Vietnam du XVIIe siècle pour se tourner vers des histoires de bouche et le Vietnam contemporain. Ce changement de genre littéraire et de cadre spatiotemporel recentre l’espace culinaire vietnamien au cœur d’une problématique récurrente chez l’auteure, celle d…

Cet article offre une nouvelle interprétation de La Graine et le mulet (2007) d’Abdellatif Kechiche. Il présente une différente optique à celle souvent adoptée par la critique, qui y voit une exploitation facile de l’exotisme et de la sexualité féminine. En replaçant la triade père−mère−enfant au cœur de l’analyse et en prenant appui sur les théories du don de Mauss et d’autres sociologues, nous proposons d’examiner trois échanges clé qui lui son…
Food and Crime Fiction
With a series of detective novels set in 17th century Dai-Viet that showcase the traditions, beliefs and customs of an exotic culture, in which the food and food habits of the Vietnamese people play a prominent role, Thanh-Van Tran-Nhut, an engineer-turned-novelist of Vietnamese origins, has carved a niche for herself in the popular crime fiction market in France. This paper focuses on the novel Les Travers du Docteur Porc, in which Doctor Porc, …
Outsider and insider views of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City
This article addresses representations of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City in four films made since ? i m i , the opening up of Vietnam to western influences, initiated in 1986. The Lover/L'Amant (1992) is a Franco‐British heritage film which reconstructs the city from a Eurocentric neocolonial perspective, while Cyclo/Xích lô (1995), a French‐funded film made by a France‐based Vietnamese filmmaker, is a contemporary poetic thriller which treats the city …
Guilt and Betrayal in the Works of Azouz Begag and Linda Lê
Azouz Begag and Linda Lê, although of different backgrounds, share the common legacy of French colonisation, a legacy which translates in their works into obsessive feelings of guilt and betrayal of their origins. This article provides a comparative analysis of the different ways in which the two writers deal with questions of integration and identity, guilt and betrayal. Guilt results from what is perceived as betrayal in the choice of the Frenc…
Bargirls and Street Cinderella
Since the rapid economic development following the doi moi [Renovation] of 1989, Vietnam has gone through an exciting and turbulent period of major change and reform. The process of transition from
Exile
This essay focuses on the work of the New Caledonian-born writer Jean Vanmai. His first two novels, Chan Dang and Fils de Chan Dang, describe the working conditions and exilic existence of the little known Chan Dang, the voluntary workers from Tonkin (North Vietnam) who moved to New Caledonia many decades ago. Descended himself from a Chan Dang family, Vanmai wishes to preserve the memory of the Chan DangDang’s past. In writing the story of the C…
Entre Salut Et Damnation
Dans l’univers romanesque de Linda Lê, la nourriture joue un rôle particulièrement ambigu. Représentée sous forme de plats et de recettes exotiques, elle rappelle la madeleine de Proust dans la recherche du paradis perdu de l’enfance. Mais au lieu de faire venirl’eau à la bouche, les souvenirs gastronomiques de Lê exhalent brutalement une odeur de décomposition car la nourriture qu’elle offre est aussi une pourriture. Filant sa métaphore de la no…
