Écoute les voix de la terre


Book Description

Un grand-père et son petit-fils parcourent la forêt, au gré des chemins sinueux et tranquilles. Un jour, l'enfant lui demande ce que sont les prières. Le vieil homme l'emmène alors à la découverte de la nature, de ruisseaux en montagnes, de rochers en bois enneigés. Patiemment, il lui apprend à tendre l'oreille au souffle du vent, aux bruissements de l'eau... Mais l'enfant n'entend pas encore les murmures qui s'élèvent autour de lui. Par-delà la solitude, il lui faudra trouver ses propres mots, son propre chemin, pour mêler ses prières à celles de la terre. A travers les souvenirs d'un enfant, Douglas Wood nous propose une histoire empreinte de poésie et de sagesse. Les illustrations de P.J. Lynch nous entraînent doucement dans cet univers lyrique et traduisent avec profondeur les liens qui unissent un grand-père, son petit-fils et la nature.

The Representation of the Relationship between Center and Periphery in the Contemporary Novel


Book Description

This collection of essays offers a comparative perspective on different forms of representation of social hybridity in contemporary novels through various cultural and linguistic lenses. It explores the various subcategories of their interdependent relationships, including power and domination between hegemony and marginality. The book revolves around five axes: namely, writing strategies and reterritorialization; marginality and intermediary spaces; revisited urban spaces; when periphery becomes center; and the modality of confrontation and construction of identity. It focuses on the identification and classification of spaces in order to understand their function in relation to the thematic strategy of the novel. Its main objective is identifying the textual representation of the challenge of center and periphery, as well as these concepts’ role and significance in diegesis. Thus, new light is shed on the subject and on the contemporary novel as a whole.
