In the Shadow of the Republic; Conclusion; Filmography; Bibliography; Index; About the AuthorInterpreting the Republic focuses on contemporary French literary and cinematic works (1986-2003) to reflect on what it means to belong to a nation such as France. Vinay Swamy demonstrates how supposedly unshakeable principles based on French republican ideals, can be, and often are, (re)interpreted in novel ways by the works analyzed in this study, which carve out niches for their protagonists that are otherwise foreclosed in the French national space.French literature20th centuryInfluenceIdentity (Psychology) in literatureMarginality, SocialFranceMotion picturesFranceInfluenceAlienation (Social psychology) in literatureFrench literature21st centuryHistory and criticismFrench literatureInfluence.Identity (Psychology) in literature.Marginality, SocialMotion picturesInfluence.Alienation (Social psychology) in literature.French literatureHistory and criticism.843/.92093552Swamy Vinay1543702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790043503321Interpreting the republic3797284UNINA
