Sommario/riassunto

Le roman contemporain trahit une fascination troublante pour l’irrationnel. Délaissant volontiers les rivages trop éclatants de la raison, il convoque des figures magiques souvent anachroniques (spectres,



chamanes, sorcières) pour sonder les méandres d’une psyché collective dont les peurs et les impensés résistent aux voies de l’entendement. Il ne s’agit pas pour autant de renouer avec d’anciens régimes explicatifs, magiques ou religieux : face à un monde « désenchanté » (Weber), le surnaturel infiltre des dispositifs esthétiques qui oscillent entre la tentation ambiguë d’une reconstruction du sens et le deuil, nostalgique ou désabusé, d’une transcendance dont les romans attestent la perte. Première étude panoramique consacrée à ce phénomène, cet ouvrage propose une analyse morphologique et fonctionnelle du surnaturel dans la littérature contemporaine en parcourant notamment les univers fictionnels d’Antoine Volodine, Sylvie Germain, Alain Fleischer, Marie NDiaye et Christian Garcin.  The French contemporary narrative reveals a disturbing fascination for the irrational. Rather deserting the too bright shores of reason, it summons magical and often anachronistic figures (spectres, shamans, witches) to probe the meanders of a collective psyche whose fears and phantasms resist the paths of rationalism.

Sommario/riassunto

Rainbow Jews looks at the intersection of gay and Jewish identity in American and Israeli film and theater from the 1960s to the present. Through a close reading of the texts of numerous American and Israeli plays and films, Friedman evaluates some of the key conventions that have been employed to construct, critique, and reflect the connection between Jewishness and gay identity in the United States and Israel. Friedman also explores ways in which gay-Jewish playwrights and filmmakers have progressed the reevaluation of sexual norms within Judaism over the past three decades, inspiring and in
