Book Description
One of the best of the celebrated Claudine novels, this installment follows the sexual and emotional machinations of three upper-class youths in a remote farmhouse, where the protagonist of the series awaits her husband Renaud's return from a Swiss sanatorium. She distracts herself by encouraging her young friend Annie to recount salacious episodes from her love life. When Renaud's homosexual son Marcel arrives, Claudine sets about matchmaking, a fiasco she bitterly regrets. With Renaud's death, Claudine's ennui is transmuted into resigned suffering, but she gradually allows the rhythm and beauty of the natural world to reawaken her desire to live.

Book Description
Les articles publiés dans le présent volume regroupent les communications du colloque de l'AFLS qui a eu lieu du 3 au 5 septembre 2008 à l'Université d'Oxford. Ce livre traite de l'aspect phonologique d'une variété de français, de sa grammaire, de son vocabulaire tout comme des aspects dialogiques et polyphoniques du langage, en adoptant une perspective synchronique ou diachronique. Les auteurs se focalisent ainsi sur l'histoire du français parlé, de la langue française en contact, ou encore de la problématique de la variation ou du fait générique en FLE et FLS ; pour divers domaines linguistiques ou par l'analyse de discours appliquée à la presse (discours entrecroisés, discours politique). Cette publication présente comme trame la voix véhiculée par l'histoire, celle qui s'exprime dans la salle de classe ou encore qui résonne dans la presse. Réunissant les contributions d'éminents conférenciers pléniers : Alain Rey (Le Petit Robert), Anthony Lodge (University of St Andrews), Sophie Moirand (Université de Paris 3), ainsi que de chercheurs de renom international, d'enseignants et d'étudiants, l'ensemble de ces contributions réuni dans cet ouvrage apporte une représentation fort complète de l'évolution du français et de son statut au début du 21ièmesiècle.

Book Description
How does Cajun literature, emerging in the 1980s, represent the dynamic processes of remembering in Cajun culture? Known for its hybrid constitution and deeply ingrained oral traditions, Cajun culture provides an ideal testing ground for investigating the collective memory of a group. In particular, francophone and anglophone Cajun texts by such writers as Jean Arceneaux, Tim Gautreaux, Jeanne Castille, Zachary Richard, Ron Thibodeaux, Darrell Bourque, and Kirby Jambon reveal not only a shift from an oral to a written tradition. They also show hybrid perspectives on the Cajun collective memory. Based on recurring references to place, the texts also reflect on the (Acadian) past and reveal the innate ability of the Cajuns to adapt through repeated intertextual references. The Cajun collective memory is thus defined by a transnational outlook, a transversality cutting across various ethnic heritages to establish and legitimize a collective identity both amid the linguistic and cultural diversity in Louisiana, and in the face of American mainstream culture. Cajun Literature and Cajun Collective Memory represents the first analysis of the mnemonic strategies Cajun writers use to explore and sustain the Cajun identity and collective memory.
