Le Point sur les Pointes de John Metcalf. Il est possible d’isoler deux sujets essentiels de préoccupation dans Kicking Against the Pricks. Le premier se manifeste dans la position ironique et satirique que Metcalf adopte à l’égard de la société nord-américaine et plus particulièrement canadienne. Littérature, critique et culture expriment des attitudes coloniales et des critères locaux qui en même temps les dominent et dont la fonction dernière est de protéger un produit local de qualité inférieure. L’essai analyse également le second centre d’intérêt de Metcalf -la nouvelle canadienne contemporaine et ses critiques. Si est peut-être justifiée la critique brillante et souvent ambitieuse que Metcalf fait du concept d’une tradition littéraire canadienne, l’essai suggère que son attaque a non seulement pour effet de défaire certaines réputations suspectes mais aussi de remodeler la tradition canadienne de telle sorte que John Metcalf y trouve une place.

The American writer Ludwig Lewisohn (1883-1955) was a cosmopolitan man of letters and an outspoken advocate of both Jewish cultural nationalism and sexual freedom. The Island Within (1928) is a family chronicle, tracing the history of the Levy family from Vilna to Prussia, and from Germany to America. Arthur Levy, the first in the family to be born in America, lives in New York and becomes a psychiatrist. As a highly-educated, assimilated Jew, he learns, the hard way, that American cameraderie does not extend, like Whitman’s, to all mankind, or even to all Americans. He comes to understand that to be human one has to be a certain kind of human being, that men are not born as abstract individuals nor as members of the general human family, and he sets out to discover his Jewish past. The Island Within is a critique of intermarriage and assimilation, but also a manifesto in favour of Jewish singularity, and in the final analysis of all singularity.

Satire is a regular feature of British television, both in fiction and topical comedy. Its contribution to contemporary culture and politics deserves to be taken seriously but it has attracted little academic interest. An exception is Wagg’s analysis of post-war British satirical comedy (1992) where he argues that satire has had a negative effect on political life by encouraging a cynical view of politics. This research discusses satire on contemporary British television, specifically topical news satire in the news quiz. Drawing on literary theory it seeks to illuminate how such satire works as a communicational form and what we might expect of it politically. Extracts are analysed of the news quiz Have I Got News For You? It is argued that topical news satire offers some examples of the traditional version of satire as a moral and pedagogic form identifying vices and urging their correction but it is found to be more likely to involve less conclusive features such as (following Griffin 1994) inquiry, provocation, play and display and to be dedicated to pleasure as much as moral and political persuasion. Whilst contemporary tv satire provides plenty of evidence to support the claim that it abuses politics in general and encourages cynicism, it can equally be argued that it is part of an established tradition of public complaint and mockery which is useful to a healthy democracy.

La Mémoire Accordée : les nouvelles d’ Alistair MacLeod. Le mode autobiographique de nombre des nouvelles publiées par Alistair MacLeod et l’insistance avec laquelle elles cherchent à reconfigurer au présent la mémoire affective montrent la pertinence des théories de Paul Ricoeur sur l’identité narrative. A travers l’analyse de plusieurs nouvelles, l’essai montre que MacLeod construit un discours profondément historicisé dans lequel le Moi et l’autre ne cessent de se fondre, de diverger et de se recombiner.

The Great Labour Unrest that shook British society between 1910 and 1914 was remarkable insofar as it developed not in any cities, but mainly in ports. This gave it an international dimension which has too often been reduced to the importation of syndicalist ideas from the USA and France over to Britain by Tom Mann. But whatever influence syndicalism managed to exert in the British Isles was in fact the result of collective efforts to create international networks. The study of Madame Sorgue s visit to Hull in May 1911 provides an interesting case in point. The French activists stay in the city was at the time quite an event, and while many contemporary observers blamed her for poisoning the healthy minds of Hull workers with “outlandish ‘ISMS’”, this article argues that no political contamination would have been possible if the working population of the city had not been ready to adopt the virus in the first place.

The material used for this contribution consists of two series of editorials published in two different “republican” newsbooks during the English Revolution : The Moderate, a radical newspaper, and Mercurius Politicus, an official middle-of-the-road publication. This paper looks into the way the authors of many of these editorials recycle English history to beef up their criticism of the Stuart monarchy as well as give weight to their defence of popular sovereignty. Ironically, it seems that not all kings deserve condemnation, and one of the authors distinguishes between legitimate monarchs and usurpers. The reason why some of these English kings were held to be less evil than the others is examined here. This paper finally assesses how far the authors’ recycling and reconstruction of English history helped them to outline a republican historical narrative that was still to be completed when they wrote.

The essay examines the ways in which the construction of Leon Rooke’s stories prevents the reader from reading them referentially. Analyzing «The Birth Control King of the Upper Uolta», it demonstrates the various procedures of «defamiliarization» employed by Rooke : the use of metalogisms, the handling of time, the lability of the character’s identity, the resort to clichés and the ensuing parodie and comic function of speech. Ultimately disorientation, however, is the only prerequisite for re-orientation. Rooke withdraws from the reader the comfortable certainties of the realistic story, only to open to him another world in which dreams and the irrational play a much larger role.
