La primera autoficción queer de "l´extrême contemporain" : Le voile mis à nu de Badia Hadj Nasser

We analyze, from the Queer Theory paradigm, the first autofictional novel on account gender dissidence, peripheral sexualities and deconstruction of identity stigmatized written by a «l'extrême contemporain» Muslim novelist woman. We focus on three aspects of originality included in the novel –the theme, the compositional mode and speech– in order to show that it is worthy of being considered a queer work, by its transgressive nature and commitment to social criticism of his time.

Villes mortes, villes à l’agonie: Écriture du ravage dans Le quatrième mur de Sorj Chalandon

Dándole un nuevo significado al tópico de la ciudad muerta, especialmente productivo en la literatura de fin de siglo, Sorj Chalandon configura, en Le qua-trième mur, una poética del saqueo que hace de la ciudad devastada un espacio de creación, al mismo tiempo novelesco y trágico, donde reinventar el género de la tumba.

Poema en prosa y mundos especulativos : en torno a Les chasseurs du temps de Daniel Walther

The prose poem has traditionally been considered above all a lyrical genre. Nevertheless, there are short fictions showing the main features of the prose poem, such as brevity, intensity, autonomy, importance of connotation, visionary character and, above all, the dominance of description. The fictional prose poem gives shape to an imaginary world which is poetically described, rather than narrated. The fictional character of this kind of prose poem is especially clear when what is described is a future reality, as it is the case in Stéphane Mallarmé’s «Le Phénomène futur» and in later series of prose poems which create prospective universes. Among them, the series collected by Daniel Walther in 2010 under the title of Les Chasseurs du temps stands out for its mysterious force, its fictional coherence and the beauty of its ima¬ges.
