Freiheit und Kommunikation: Zur verfassungsrechtlichen Sicherung kommunikativer Selbstbestimmung in einer vernetzten Gesellschaft
by Steffen HindelangDieses Buch gibt Antworten darauf, wie in Zeiten von Facebook und Fake News der verfassungsrechtliche Schutz des freien öffentlichen Diskurses gelingen kann. Es untersucht, wie die Verfassung auf einen nicht mehr nur durch Rundfunk und Presse klassischen Zuschnitts, sondern auch durch eine Vielzahl Einzelner organisierten massenmedialen Diskurs reagiert und wie das Verständnis der den Diskurs prägenden verfassungsrechtlichen Bausteine aktualisiert werden kann.Die technischen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen massenmedialer Kommunikation haben sich fundamental gewandelt. Das vorherrschende verfassungsdogmatische Schutzkonzept – ein „Ersatzmodell von Freiheit“ – kann diesem Wandel nicht ausreichend Rechnung tragen. Der Einzelne muss heute nicht mehr nur vor, sondern auch in seiner Medienmacht geschützt werden. Ausgehend von kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen wird ein verfassungsrechtliches Verständnis entwickelt, das den Einzelnen wieder ins Zentrum eines freien massenmedialen Diskurses rückt.
Fremdsprachliche Affordanzen und soziale Praktiken in der Simulation Globale: Eine Video-Ethnographie zur Rekonstruktion Symbolischer Kompetenz im Lehr-Lern-Labor (Literatur-, Kultur- und Sprachvermittlung: LiKuS)
by Laura-Joanna SchröterDas vorliegende Open-Access-Buch widmet sich dem empirisch-rekonstruktiven Nachvollzug der Ausgestaltungsprozesse in der Simulation Globale von Französischlernenden und -lehramtsstudierenden in einem geisteswissenschaftlichen Lehr-Lern-Labor. Die Arbeit zielt auf eine affordanz- und praxistheoretisch fundierte Rekonstruktion unter Berücksichtigung komplementärer Sprachkonzepte (z.B. der Symbolischen Kompetenz). Die empirischen Rekonstruktionen, die mittels der kulturwissenschaftlich geprägten ‚Kamera-Ethnographie&‘ hervorgebracht werden, zeigen erstmals Unstimmigkeiten in der theoretisch-konzeptionellen und empirischen Forschung zur Simulation Globale auf. Dies konkretisiert sich in einer Vielzahl von konzeptionellen Zuschreibungen, die empirisch unter Berücksichtigung des Lernortes die hohen Erwartungen an das handlungsorientierte Französischlernen offenbaren.
French 'Ecocritique': Reading French Theory and Fiction Ecologically
by Stephanie PosthumusFrench Écocritique is the first book-length study of the culturally specific ways in which contemporary French literature and theory raise questions about nature and environment. Stephanie Posthumus’s ground-breaking work brings together thinkers such as Guattari, Latour, and Serres with recent ecocritical theories to complicate what might otherwise become a reductive notion of "French ecocriticism." Working across contemporary philosophy and literature, the book defines the concept of the ecological as an attentiveness to specific nature-culture contexts and to a text’s many interdiscursive connections. Posthumus identifies four key concepts, ecological subjectivity, ecological dwelling, ecological politics, and ecological ends, for changing how we think about human-nature relations. French Écocritique highlights the importance of moving beyond canonical ecocritical texts and examining a diversity of cultural and literary traditions for new ways of imagining the environment.

French Comic Drama from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century (Geoffrey Brereton on French Tragic and Comic Drama)
by Geoffrey BreretonIn tracing the course of French comedy from the Renaissance, through the age of Louis XIV and the eighteenth century, to the eve of the Revolution, originally published in 1977, Geoffrey Brereton shows how it evolved from the crude farces and experimental plays of the sixteenth century to become a rich and highly sophisticated dramatic genre. The main emphasis is on the work of the principal dramatists, notably Molière (whose plays and career are given a detailed and enlightening treatment), Corneille, Scarron, Marivaux and Beaumarchais, with some space devoted to the more neglected writers, such as the ‘cynical generation’ of Dancourt, Regnard, Lesage and others; and all the plays are seen in the context of the theatrical conventions that helped to shape them. Different types of comedy are analysed, including comedy of character and of manners, as well as the romantic, burlesque and bourgeois forms and the development of the opéra-comique. At the same time Dr Brereton examines the influences on French comedy – influences as varied as those of the farce, the Italian commedia dell’arte, the Spanish comedia and the eighteenth century drame – and the way in which these were absorbed and exploited by French comic dramatists. Since comedy, more than any other kind of drama, reflects the contemporary social scene, attention is drawn to social conditions and attitudes, and some of the more striking parallels with modern social preoccupations are pointed out. Written in a very lively and readable style, and containing much stimulating and original comment, as well as providing the basic facts, it gives a considerable insight into the nature of French comedy during its most formative and fruitful period. A substantial bibliography and other reference material increase the usefulness of this book to the student of French drama.
French Connections in the English Renaissance
by Hassan Melehy Catherine Gimelli MartinThe study of literature still tends to be nation-based, even when direct evidence contradicts longstanding notions of an autonomous literary canon. In a time when current events make inevitable the acceptance of a global perspective, the essays in this volume suggest a corrective to such scholarly limitations: the contributors offer alternatives to received notions of 'influence' and the more or less linear transmission of translatio studii, demonstrating that they no longer provide adequate explanations for the interactions among the various literary canons of the Renaissance. Offering texts on a variety of aspects of the Anglo-French Renaissance instead of concentrating on one set of borrowings or phenomena, this collection points to new configurations of the relationships among national literatures. Contributors address specific borrowings, rewritings, and appropriations of French writing by English authors, in fields ranging from lyric poetry to epic poetry to drama to political treatise. The bibliography presents a comprehensive list of publications on French connections in the English Renaissance from 1902 to the present day.
French Consul's Wife: Memoirs of Celeste De Chabrillan in Gold-rush Australia
by Patricia Clancy Jeanne Allen'What a subject for a film, but not, please, Meryl Streep ... Together with Dr Patricia Clancy (Melbourne University) and Jeanne Allen's (La Trobe University) elegant translation and able notes, the memoirs make for a piquant, informative, variegated and often startling read ... Miegunyah Press you've done it again.' (Derek Whitelock, Weekend Australian)A former Parisian courtesan, circus performer and dancer, C�leste de Chabrillan scandalised Melbourne society when she arrived in 1854 as the wife of the French Consul. These memoirs give a vivid firsthand account of the two-and-a-half years she spent in gold-rush Victoria.C�leste's arrival in Melbourne was preceded by the publication of her memoirs describing her illegitimate birth, miserable adolescence and celebrity career as a courtesan, bareback rider and polka dancer. As a result she was dubbed the consul's 'harlot spouse' and ostracised by society.Despite this, C�leste did not avoid the public gaze and continued to employ her literary talents. Her memoirs are of a life spent in the village of St Kilda, the diplomatic and government house circle and the Ballarat gold fields. Her descriptions of a public hanging, Governor Hotham's 'beer ball' and her own Ball for the Victims of Crimea reveal her as a woman of great energy and wilful temperament.
French Crime Fiction, 1945–2005: Investigating World War II
by Margaret-Anne HuttonIn the first major study of representations of World War II in French crime fiction, Margaret-Anne Hutton draws on a corpus of over a hundred and fifty texts spanning more than sixty years. Included are well-known writers (male and female) such as Aubert, Simenon, Boileau-Narcejak, Vargas, Daeninckx, and Jonquet, as well as a broad range of lesser-known authors. Hutton's introduction situates her study within the larger framework of literary representations of World War II, setting the stage for her discussions of genre; the problem of defining crimes and criminals in the context of the war; the epistemological issues that arise in the relationship between World War II historiography and the crime novel; and the temporal textures linking past crimes to the present. Filling a gap in the fields of crime fiction and fictional representations of the War, Hutton's book calls into question the way both crime fiction and the French theatre of World War II have been conceptualized and codified.
French Divorce Fiction from the Revolution to the First World War
by Nicholas White"One of the primary social changes ushered in by the French Revolution was the legalization of divorce in 1792. Diluted by the Civil Code and suppressed by the Restoration, divorce was only fully established in France by the Loi Naquet of 1884. French Divorce Fiction from the Revolution to the First World War tracks the part played by novels in this conflict between the secular rights of individual citizens and the sanctity of the traditional family. Inspired by the sociologists Zygmunt Bauman and Anthony Giddens, White's account culminates in the first sustained analysis of the role of divorce in the refashioning of life narratives during the early decades of the Third Republic. As such, it redefines the relationships between canonical authors such as Maupassant and Colette, rediscovered women novelists like Marcelle Tinayre and Camille Pert, and long-neglected patriarchs such as Paul Bourget and Anatole France. Nicholas White teaches French in the University of Cambridge where he is a Fellow of Emmanuel College."
French Drama of the Revolutionary Years (Routledge Revivals)
by Graham E. RodmellFrench Drama of the Revolutionary Years (1990) examines the years following the Revolution which saw an explosion both in the number of theatres and in the number of dramatic representations written and performed.

French Dressing: Women, Men, and Fiction in the Ancien Regime
by Nancy K. MillerFrench Dressing looks at the ancien régime's scenarios of libertine seduction--unsafe sex and its consequences for women's lives. It places the gender performances of male and female-authored novels in dialogue in order to recover the complexity of a century obsessed, as we are today, with writing and living plots of desire. French Dressing exposes the erotic anxieties behind a national culture of sexual self-display--French undressing.
French Encounters with the Ottomans, 1510-1560 (Transculturalisms, 1400-1700)
by Pascale BartheFocusing on early Renaissance Franco-Ottoman relations, this book fills a gap in studies of Ottoman representations by early modern European powers by addressing the Franco-Ottoman bond. In French Encounters with the Ottomans, Pascale Barthe examines the birth of the Franco-Ottoman rapprochement and the enthusiasm with which, before the age of absolutism, French kings and their subjects pursued exchanges-real or imagined-with those they referred to as the 'Turks.' Barthe calls into question the existence of an Orientalist discourse in the Renaissance, and examines early cross-cultural relations through the lenses of sixteenth-century French literary and cultural production. Informed by insights from historians, literary scholars, and art historians from around the world, this study underscores and challenges long-standing dichotomies (Christians vs. Muslims, West vs. East) as well as reductive periodizations (Middle Ages vs. Renaissance) and compartmentalization of disciplines. Grounded in close readings, it includes discussions of cultural production, specifically visual representations of space and customs. Barthe showcases diplomatic envoys, courtly poets, 'bourgeois', prominent fiction writers, and chroniclers, who all engaged eagerly with the 'Turks' and developed a multiplicity of responses to the Ottomans before the latter became both fashionable and neutralized, and their representation fixed.

French Global: A New Approach to Literary History
by Susan Rubin Suleiman Christie McdonaldIs it possible to reread the entire sweep of French literature from a world perspective? Recasting French literary history in terms of the cultures and peoples that interacted both within and outside of France's national boundaries, this volume offers a new way of looking at the history of a national literature, along with a truly global and contemporary understanding of language, literature, and culture. Questions concerning the relationship between France's territorial center and its extraterritorial peripheries are crucial to contemporary discussions of Francophonie. Boldly extending these and related questions to a whole range of French literature, the essays in this volume explore spaces, mobilities, and multiplicities from the Middle Ages to the present. They rethink literary history not in terms of national boundaries, as traditional literary histories have done, but in terms of a global paradigm that emphasizes border crossings and encounters with "others." Contributors offer new ways of reading canonical texts and considering other texts that are not part of the traditional canon. By emphasizing diverse conceptions of language, text, space, and nation, they offer a model approach that remains sensitive to the specificities of time and place and to the theoretical concerns that inform the study of national literatures in the twenty-first century.
French Global: A New Approach to Literary History (Litterature, Histoire, Politique Ser. #13)
by Susan Rubin Suleiman Eds. McDonald ChristieRecasting French literary history in terms of the cultures and peoples that interacted within and outside of France's national boundaries, this volume offers a new way of looking at the history of a national literature, along with a truly global and contemporary understanding of language, literature, and culture. The relationship between France's national territory and other regions of the world where French is spoken and written (most of them former colonies) has long been central to discussions of "Francophonie." Boldly expanding such discussions to the whole range of French literature, the essays in this volume explore spaces, mobilities, and multiplicities from the Middle Ages to today. They rethink literary history not in terms of national boundaries, as traditional literary histories have done, but in terms of a global paradigm that emphasizes border crossings and encounters with "others." Contributors offer new ways of reading canonical texts and considering other texts that are not part of the traditional canon. By emphasizing diverse conceptions of language, text, space, and nation, these essays establish a model approach that remains sensitive to the specificities of time and place and to the theoretical concerns informing the study of national literatures in the twenty-first century.
