  La révolte dans le roman du second XIXe siècle

  « Quêtes Littéraires » n°14

  Le roman du second dix-neuvième siècle est un roman « révolutionné » où les scènes de rébellion, l’expression de l’indignation et le soulèvement contre l’autorité établie sont fréquents. Le temps historique (conflit franco-prussien, commune, Troisième République) et le passage d’une économie fondée traditionnellement sur l’agriculture à une économie basée sur la production mécanisée à grande échelle de biens manufacturés dans des usines (révolution industrielle) viennent nourrir le sentiment de révolte chez des personnages confrontés à l’injustice, à la misère, aux autorités arbitraires et à un pouvoir détenu par quelques-uns au détriment du plus grand nombre. L’enjeu de ce 14^e volume de la revue Quêtes littéraires est de contribuer à l’analyse du motif de la révolte dans le roman du second dix-neuvième siècle : récurrence du motif et son contexte, personnages indignés, écriture du roman dans sa dimension éthique et esthétique, posture de l’écrivain, etc.

  Identities and Identifications: Politicized Uses of Collective Identities (8th Edition)

  Identity is one of the crown jewelries in the kingdom of ‘contested concepts’. Few concepts are so integral to social assumptions, beliefs and claims of belonging while simultaneously escaping a clear definition or even a minimal consensus. The idea of identity is conceived to provide some unity and recognition while it also exists by separation and differentiation. From personal to group and collective identities, multiple layers of identifications juxtapose conflict or exclude. Few concepts were used as much as identity for contradictory purposes. From the fragile individual identities as self-solidifying frameworks, to layered in-group identifications in families, orders, organizations, religions, ethnic groups, regions, nation-states, supra-national entities or any other social entities, the idea of identity always shows up in the core of debates and makes everything either too dangerously simple or too complicated. Constructivist and de-constructivist strategies have led to the same result: the eternal return of the topic. Some say we should drop the concept, some say we should keep it and refine it, some say we should look at it in a dynamic fashion while some say it’s the reason for resistance to change. In the meantime, identities are programmatically asserted and promoted to generate cohesion and demand recognition while the process of identification excludes and creates boundaries and alterity making practices.
