This article considers language practices in Une année chez les Français, a 2010 novel by the multilingual Moroccan writer Fouad Laroui, by drawing on Abdelkébir Khatibi’s concept of “radical bilingualism” and on Mikhail Bakhtin’s understanding of “polyglossia”. It focuses on ways in which French cultural and linguistic domination is both reinforced and contested by a range of textual and linguistic strategies, including relexification, code-switching, translation, neologism and word play. Laroui’s radical bilingualism will be shown to blur language borders and destabilize the notion of language purity, while creating a literary space that is playful, dynamic, plural and unstable. Radical bilingualism in this novel will be revealed as a subversive strategy that Laroui uses to engage in a “double critique” of French neo-colonial domination and privilege and of Moroccan nationalist essentialism.
本文通过借鉴哈提比的“激进双语主义”概念和巴赫金对“多语”的理解，研究摩洛哥多语作家Fouad Laroui于2010年出版的小说《Une annacime chez les francadais》中的语言实践。它关注的是法国文化和语言的主导地位是如何通过一系列文本和语言策略得到加强和挑战的，包括放松化、代码转换、翻译、新词和文字游戏。Laroui激进的双语主义模糊了语言边界，动摇了语言纯洁性的概念，同时创造了一个有趣的、动态的、多元的、不稳定的文学空间。在这部小说中，激进的双语主义将被揭示为一种颠覆性的策略，Laroui使用这种策略对法国的新殖民统治和特权以及摩洛哥的民族主义本质主义进行“双重批判”。

This article examines uses of archival documents in the work of French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). Jacques Derrida’s seminal essay on “Archive Fever” (1995) provides a framework for the close study of Bourgeois’s multi-modal archives. The article discusses how the artist’s archives, while embedded in the site that manages them, pursue their existence outside their institutional home: displayed in exhibition spaces, reproduced in print publications and recorded on film, they are constantly moving, all the while pointing to a continuous shift in the place, value and nature of the artist’s archives and a reconsideration of their relationship with Bourgeois’s oeuvre and its evolving critical reception.

Of French-Algerian and Andalusian-Romani descent, French film director Tony Gatlif offers an intriguing insight into the culture of one of Europe’s most marginalized, misunderstood and misrepresented others: the Romani (Gypsies). This article examines the rules of engagement in Gatlif’s representation of cultural minorities, particularly in relation to his claims to cultural “truth” and authenticity in his filmmaking. Also explored are the dynamics of exoticism and the narratives of perpetual discovery that characterize Gatlif’s success on the film festival circuit, which has its own set of rules and vested interests when it comes to film programming in the context of a self-serving, heavily mediated and orientalist altruism. Such dynamics reveal as much about the idiosyncrasies of film critics, curators and audiences as of the filmmaker himself, all of which combines to form the rules of engagement in filmmaking and spectatorship in the exoticized and “othered” space of World Cinema.

This article considers the multi-faceted Italian in Voltaire’s philosophical tale Candide as figured in the old woman, the eunuch and Pococuranté. It examines the study of contradictory signs that make up the Italian ethnos in Candide, an example of projection in which the other, the foreigner, nevertheless remains undefinable. In the eighteenth century, the figure of the Italian was imbued with political and moral ambiguity. Often described through degrading stereotypes and a dampened discourse, the figure of the foreigner or other often mitigates the severity painted in a cruel, violent and immoral reality, a paradoxical reality that represents France and Italy in an epoch where disorder reigns, and in a century that, despite its attempts to wax philosophical, is not philosophical enough. Making the other speak, especially in his own language, therefore becomes a writerly ruse, a discursive strategy adopted by French philosophers and novelists such as Voltaire to communicate a reformist agenda, at once reactionary and rebellious. Through often denigrating commentary in Italian, the fictional discourse of the Enlightenment complicates a simpler classical narrativity and becomes a topos of transgression, a shocking locution, that, masked under the guise of a harmless farce, forces one to reflect on often humiliating topics such as rape, fanaticism, violence or injustice. A discourse overdetermined by a superficial ethnic referent thus underlies more serious preoccupations.

This article examines caricaturist Paul Gavarni’s lithographic series Les Lorettes vieillies and Jules and Edmond de Goncourt’s short text La Lorette as two conflicting visions of the lorette, a type of nineteenth-century prostitute celebrated in literary and visual sources. The Goncourts’ text has previously been studied for its explicit aim to break the rules around representing the lorette; this essay argues, however, that Gavarni’s little-known images were in fact more radical. Exploring the ways in which Les Lorettes vieillies humanizes the experience of the ageing lorette, a taboo topic in other sources, this article shows how the series challenges society’s norms around age and gender. Finally, one should consider Les Lorettes vieillies, published at the same time and in the same newspaper as La Lorette, as an important intertext informing the Goncourts’ own presentation of the lorette as a transgressive figure.

The rise of regional detective novels in Europe has generated an expanding interest, as is evident in the proliferation of scholarship on works in this genre. One type of crime narrative, however, escapes this rule: Corsican crime fiction. Because it is part of unique editorial, literary, cultural, political, and linguistic dynamics, Corsican crime fiction raises important questions about the future of regional literature within a national, international, and transnational literary canon. This article proposes a genesis of the Corsican detective novel; through a recontextualization of the genre in both the literary context of the island and the generic context of the detective novel, it will demonstrate how the serialization effect typical of crime fiction, coupled with the intrinsic plurality of the notion of authenticity, allows Corsican crime fiction to redefine the codes of the traditional detective novel and bring a new facet to the broader notion of Mediterranean Noir in its insular form known as the pulizziesca.
