Perspectives francophones

ISSN: 2944-5116

La collection Perspectives francophones se consacre à la recherche sur les littératures de langue française des xxe et xxie siècles. Fruit d’une collaboration universitaire entre spécialistes d’Allemagne, de France et d’ailleurs, elle fait se rencontrer différentes perspectives théoriques comme culturelles sur les textes et favorise le dialogue entre chercheurs expérimentés et jeunes chercheurs. Les volumes qui la composent sont guidés par l’idée qu’une approche transnationale permet de mieux cerner les lignes de convergence des écritures contemporaines et leurs évolutions esthétiques au fil d’une histoire littéraire au long cours. En misant sur la productivité de tels échanges, la collection ambitionne de renouveler nos modalités de lecture et de scruter depuis une perspective transversale les grands enjeux de la littérature d’aujourd’hui.

Documents pour l'Histoire des Francophonies

Les dernières décennies du XXe siècle ont été caractérisées par l’émergence et la reconnaissance en tant que telles des littératures francophones. Ce processus ouvre le devenir du français à une pluralité dont il s’agit de se donner, désormais, les moyens d’approche et de compréhension. Cela implique la prise en compte des historicités de ces différentes cultures et littératures. Dans cette optique, la collection « Documents pour l’Histoire des Francophonies » entend mettre à la disposition du chercheur et du public, de façon critique ou avec un appareil critique, des textes oubliés, parfois inédits. Elle publie également des travaux qui touchent à la complexité comme aux enracinements historiques des francophonies et qui cherchent à tracer des pistes de réflexion transversales susceptibles de tirer de leur ghetto respectif les études francophones, voire d’avancer dans la problématique des rapports entre langue et littérature. Elle comporte une série consacrée à l’Europe, une à l’Afrique, une aux Amériques, et une aux problèmes théoriques des francophonies.

Studies on Themes and Motifs in Literature

The series is designed to advance the publication of research pertaining to themes and motifs in literature. The studies cover cross-cultural patterns as well as the entire range of national literatures. They trace the development and use of themes and motifs over extended periods, elucidate the significance of specific themes or motifs for the formation of period styles, and analyze the unique structural function of themes and motifs. By examining themes or motifs in the work of an author or period, the studies point to the impulses authors received from literary tradition, the choices made, and the creative transformation of the cultural heritage. The series will include publications of colloquia and theoretical studies that contribute to a greater understanding of literature.
