Eneffet, ces crivaines se distinguent du reste de la production franaiseactuelle, car elles cultivent une relation particulirement tumultueuse avecleur public, cause de la nature trs personnelle, mais galement politique deleurs textes semi-autobiographiques et cause de leurs performances comme personnalit publique dans les mdias. On y examine donc simultanment lafaon dont les mdias stigmatisent ces crivaines ainsi que la manire dont cesdernires manipulent la culture mdiatique comme une extension de leur A uvrelittraire. Ce livre analyse ainsi simultanment les implications textuelles etsociopolitiques qui sous-tendent la (d)construction du sujet autofictionnel,et en particulier la faon dont ces crivains se redfinissent constamment travers la performance rendue possible par les mdias et la technologie. Deplus, ce travail soulve des questions importantes par rapport la relationcomplexe qu'entretiennent les mdias avec les femmes crivains, en particuliercelles qui discutent ouvertement de traumatisme, de sexualit et de violence,et qui remettent galement en question la distinction entre ralit et fiction.

Privilgiant l'autofiction comme phnomne principalement franais,cet ouvrage s'intresse la valeur politique de ce genre semi-autobiographiquepar-del sa mort annonce avec la disparition de la littrature engage del'aprs-guerre et des avant-gardes des annes 50-60, dans le contexte franaiset francophone actuel, travers par une crise des identits, lemulticulturalisme et une redfinition du nationalisme travers l'criture.The Personal Is Political: Media, Aesthetics and Politics in the Autofiction of Christine Angot, Chlo Delaume and Nelly ArcanLooking at questions of testimony, confession, trauma,sexuality, and violence in (semi-) autobiographical works, this book explores the co-construction of personal and collectiveidentities by women writers in the age of self-disclosure and mass media. In a time when literature is accused of being self-centeredand overly narcissistic, women's autofictionin France since the turn of the millennium has been received with controversybecause it disrupts readily accepted ideas about personal andnational identities, gender and race, and fiction versus autobiography. Through the study of polemical writersChristine Angot, Chlo Delaume, and Nelly Arcan, Mercds Baillargeon contendsthat, by recounting personal stories of trauma and sexuality, and thus opposing themselves in opposition to social convention, and by refusing to dispel doubtsregarding the fictional or factual nature of their texts, autofiction resists and helps redefine categories of literary genreand gender identity. This book analyzes concurrently the textual andsociopolitical implications that underlie the (de)construction of the autofictional subject, and particularlyhow these writers constantly redefine themselves through performance andself-fashioning made possible by media and technology. Moreover, this workraises important questions relating to the media's complicated relationshipwith women writers, especially those who discuss themes of trauma, sexuality,and violence, and who also question the distinction between fact and fiction. Proposing a new understanding of autofictionas a form of littrature engage, this work contributes to a broader understanding of the French publishingestablishment and of the literary field as a cultural institution, as well asnew insight on shifting notions of identity, the Self, and nationalism intoday's ever-changing and multicultural French context.

Hombres en movimiento: Masculinidades espanolas en losexilios y emigraciones, 1939-1999, de Iker Gonzlez-Allende, es el primer estudio detallado de cmo elexilio y la emigracin influyen en la masculinidad de los hombres espaoles,tanto heterosexuales como homosexuales, que se ven obligados a abandonar supas. En el libro, Gonzlez-Allende analiza la literatura producida porescritores espaoles que desde 1939 hasta finales del siglo XX hanexperimentado el exilio o la emigracin, cubriendo tres momentos histricos: ellargo exilio republicano como consecuencia de la Guerra Civil Espaola (1936-1939),la emigracin a Europa durante la dcada de 1960 debido a la crisis econmicaen Espaa y la reciente emigracin de intelectuales a los Estados Unidos afinales del siglo XX. Revelando experiencias recurrentes de aislamiento,inseguridad, discriminacin y feminizacin en el pas de acogida,Gonzlez-Allende sostiene que el exilio y la emigracin causan un sentido decrisis, impotencia e inestabilidad en la masculinidad de los hombresdesplazados. El autor tambin examina como tendencia compensatoria que elexilio y la emigracin pueden ofrecer a estos hombres una mayor sensacin delibertad y una mejora de su situacin econmica. Cada uno de los sietecaptulos analiza una variedad diferente de las masculinidades en el exilio ola emigracin: el adolescente, el hombre en crisis, el hombre ocioso, el hombreque retorna a Espaa, el hombre trabajador, el hombre onanista y el hombreacadmico. Los autores estudiados son asimismo diversos: Luis de Castresana,Juan Jos Domenchina, Juan Gil-Albert, Max Aub, Francisco Ayala, PatricioChamizo, Vctor Canicio, Terenci Moix, Antonio Muoz Molina y Javier Cercas.Men in Motion: Spanish Masculinities in Exiles and Emigrations, 1939-1999 by Iker Gonzlez-Allende delivers the first sustained study of how the Spanish masculine identity, of both homosexual and heterosexual men, is impacted when men are compelled to leave their country. In it, Gonzlez-Allende examines the literary output of Spanish male authors over three periods of emigration and exile: the long Republican exile from Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the emigration to Europe during the Spanish economic crisis of the 1960s, and the recent period of emigration of intellectuals to the United States through the end of the twentieth century. Revealing and unpacking recurring patterns of isolation, insecurity, discrimination, and feminization in the host country, Gonzlez-Allende argues that exile and emigration cause a crisis of powerlessness that can have a destabilizing effect on one's masculinity. Gonzlez-Allende also examines a countervailing trend among Spanish exiles and migrs of these periods; that from the same crisis some achieve a greater sense of freedom and improve their socioeconomic standing. Each of the seven chapters analyzes a different Spanish male exile or migr: the adolescent, the man at a crossroad, the idle man, the returning man, the working man, the onanist, and the academician. Works studied are likewise from a range of authors: Luis de Castresana, Juan Jos Domenchina, Juan Gil-Albert, Max Aub, Francisco Ayala, Patricio Chamizo, Vctor Canicio, Terenci Moix, Antonio Muoz Molina, and Javier Cercas.

Symbolized by a three-hundred-year-old Seder plate, the religious life of Fred Behrend's family had centered largely around Passover and the tale of the Jewish people's exodus from tyranny. When the Nazis came to power, the wide-eyed boy and his family found themselves living a twentieth-century version of that exodus, escaping oppression and persecution in Germany for Cuba and ultimately a life of freedom and happiness in the United States. Behrend's childhood came to a crashing end with Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) and his father's harrowing internment at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. But he would not be defined by these harrowing circumstances. Behrend would go on to experience brushes with history involving the defeated Germans. By the age of twenty, he had run a POW camp full of Nazis, been an instructor in a program aimed at denazifying specially selected prisoners, and been assigned by the U.S. Army to watch over Wernher von Braun, the designer of the V-2 rocket that terrorized Europe and later chief architect of the Saturn V rocket that sent Americans to the moon. Behrend went from a sheltered life of wealth in a long-gone, old-world Germany, dwelling in the gilded compound once belonging to the manufacturer of the zeppelin airships, to a poor Jewish immigrant in New York City learning English from Humphrey Bogart films. Upon returning from service in the U.S. Army, he rose out of poverty, built a successful business in Manhattan, and returned to visit Germany a dozen times, giving him unique perspective into Germany's attempts to surmount its Nazi past.
