The modern urban in the journalistic prose of Théophile Gautier : ‘Crayonnons à la hâte…’.
No full textThe chapter forms part of a volume entitled Aesthetics of Dislocation in French and Francophone Literature and Art: Strategies of Representation, published by Edwin Mellen Press in 2009, co-edited with two other colleagues, Dr Daisy Connon and Dr Gillian Jein. This chapter is concerned with a new articulation of poetic discourse in the writings of the nineteenth-century French poet and journalist Théophile Gautier. Through analysis of his profuse feuilletons, travel writings and art criticism, this chapter argues that Gautier’s prose exhibits and acute perception of the facts determining its construction as text and dramatizes these as a means to explore a range of complex objects of representation which are encountered throughout the topography of the modern urban; the latter include train stations, ports and the Universal Exhibition halls. Taken together, these texts identify the shifting urban environment as a source of poetic renewal. In so doing, they reveal a dramatically more comprehensive and dynamic vision than is permitted by the narrowly aestheticist views by which Gautier’s work is normally characterized
Introduction : Aesthetics of Dislocation
No full textThis introduction forms part of a volume entitled Aesthetics of Dislocation in French and Francophone Literature and Art: Strategies of Representation, published by Edwin Mellen Press in 2009. I scripted one third of the introduction text with Drs Connon and Jein and co-edited the rest of the volume. The premise of the book, as set forth in this introduction, is that while dislocation implies alienation, disruption and the disintegration of meaning, it may also be viewed as a productive state or experience, which gives rise to new expressive potentialities and orders of discourse. The introduction thus argues that dislocation has the potential to be as enabling as it is disabling, since it instates ‘an ambiguous space of relation through separation’, as Dr Douglas Smith writes in the foreword to the volume. The more sophisticated understanding of space which this volume seeks to promote therefore opens onto new accounts of subjective experience and creative agency. While Benoît Goetz has theorized the concept of dislocation in his 2001 work La Dislocation: architecture et philosophie (Paris: Passion, 2001), the present book is the only work of its kind to do so in English, and to extend its analyses to a broad range of objects in literature, film and the visual arts
"Ice Road" by Gillian Slovo. [review - radio script]

Slovo. With its broad canvas of Russian history and large cast of characters, led by a

worker born at the beginning of the twentieth century, who by various chance encounters
becomes involved in the family of Boris Aleksandrovic Ivanov, a party official, one of the new soviet ruling class. The setting is Leningrad, and the year is 1934
