Article | Contributor(s): Ugo Pais

Read by a limited readership of critics and connoiseurs of literary curiosities, Christofle de Beaujeu’s work has often been subject to negative judgment. “Unrestrained” or “mediocre” are the adjectives most often applied to it. Beaujeu’s major work, the collected Amours, contains a few...

Article | Contributor(s): Jane Couchman

Le rejet des « vanités de ce monde » tient, on le sait, une place prépondérante dans la théologie calviniste. Cette étude explore le rôle de ces « plaisirs mondains » dans les lettres et les mémoires de quatre des grandes dames de la Réforme en France : Louise de Coligny (1555–1620),...

« Treschevaleureux capitaines » contre « crocheteurs de flascons » : lecteurs et lectorats dans les Fascetieux devitz des Cent nouvelles nouvelles du Seigneur de La Motte Roullant

Article | Contributor(s): Nora Viet

During the Renaissance, the short narrative owes its success partly to its social ubiquity: fables, fabliaux, and short stories circulated in very different realms, from the court to humanist circles, from bourgeois society to the clergy. However, with the popularity of the short story collection...

«Les interests du sexe»: dédicataires féminins et réseaux de sociabilité chez Marie de Gournay

Article | Contributor(s): Jean-Philippe Beaulieu, Hannah Fournier

Even though Marie de Gournay's (1565-1645) numerous texts contain only a few direct references to the activities of the "salons" in the first half of the seventeenth century, they show ample evidence of the author's presence in public and social life. Through anecdotes, allusive references and...

«Les Païens de la Pléiade»: L'Érotisme dans les Folastries de Ronsard et dans les Gayetez d'Olivier de Magny

Article | Contributor(s): David Dorais

This article compares the eroticism of Ronsard's Folastries (1553) with that of the Gayetez (1554) of Olivier de Magny. Although the former exercised some influence on the latter, the eroticism of the two poets turns out to be very different, as much in thematic and stylistic terms as with regard...

La contesa tra Venere celeste e Venere terrena, tra l’amore onesto e coniugale, che regola la comunità, e l’amore dilettevole e extraconiugale, che è fonte inesauribile di valore guerriero e di virtù cavalleresche nella società cortese, affascina il Boccaccio durante il soggiorno nella Napoli...

Until 2019, Guatemala upheld a de-facto moratorium on GMOs. The ban has been attributed to broad-based social resistance and the unlikely alliances galvanized by the issue. Recent legislation, however, has been met with little resistance. In this paper, I show how the tensions between anti-GM...
