Marguerite Duras

ISSN: 2032-9326

The work of Marguerite Duras has become one of the most popular subjects of academic research, achieving enormous global reach. Her work crosses many genres (novels, theatre, films, journalism, interviews, short texts), and she attracted the interest of important contemporary thinkers such as Lacan, Foucault and Blanchot. As well as having a unique style and the power to fascinate, Duras was politically active and became an important witness of her time. These are the reasons why she is considered to be one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. This series aims to give academics and the large number of Duras fans the chance to explore a wide range of high-quality research generated by her work. This is made possible with the publication of monographs, collections of essays, conference notes and texts from doctoral research. The series encourages cross-disciplinary views and aims to be a major platform for dialogue on the different approaches to research on Marguerite Duras. La recherche scientifique autour de l’œuvre de Marguerite Duras est l’une des plus actives et l’une des plus étendues de par le monde. L’éclatement générique de son œuvre (romans, théâtre, cinéma, journalisme, entretiens, textes brefs), l’intérêt qu’elle a suscité chez les plus grands penseurs contemporains de toutes sortes de disciplines des sciences humaines (Lacan, Foucault, Blanchot, etc.), l’engagement politique et la position de témoin des événements marquants de son époque, l’originalité unique de son style et son pouvoir de fascination contribuent à placer l’écrivain parmi les plus importants de son siècle. La collection «　Marguerite Duras　» a pour objectif de présenter à un public universitaire et aux très nombreux passionnés de l’œuvre de l’écrivain un éventail large des travaux de qualité que génère son œuvre, par la publication de monographies, de volumes collectifs, d’actes de colloques et d’essais issus de thèses de doctorat. Elle encourage les points de vue interdisciplinaires et se veut l’un des lieux majeurs où se rencontrent et dialoguent les différentes facettes de l’étude des textes durassiens.
