This volume is the product of a long-term collaboration between French and American scholars who share a common preoccupation with reading canonical and contemporary works of literature and cinema in a theoretical and pedagogical context. It offers a multipolar approach, informed by different historical, thematic, aesthetic, philosophical and formal perspectives, that allows for a more complete and nuanced understanding of the complex relations between artists and works commonly separated by disciplinary boundaries. The chapters cover a variety of literary genres and artistic forms such as the novel (Madame de Lafayette, Gustave Flaubert, Andr??? Weckmann, Ahmadou Kourouma, Calixthe Beyala, and Am???lie Nothomb), poetry (Charles Baudelaire), theater (Aim??? C???saire, Anne H???bert), the aphorism (Blaise Pascal), the essay (Andr??? Breton), the manifesto (???mile Zola), and film (Fran???ois Truffaut, Ousmane Semb???ne), while also drawing parallels to works in other languages such as English and German in order to highlight the translingual and intercultural dimensions of the artistic process.Cet ouvrage, fruit d'une collaboration entre universitaires fran???ais et am???ricains comportant aussi une dimension p???dagogique, propose un nouveau cadre pour articuler, ??? partir de perspectives diverses, un dialogue critique, historique, th???matique, philosophique et formel entre les oeuvres classiques et contemporaines, fran???aises et francophones. Consacr??? principalement ??? la production de langue fran???aise et reposant sur un corpus repr???sentatif qui rassemble roman (Madame de Lafayette, Gustave Flaubert, Andr??? Weckmann, Ahmadou Kourouma, Calixthe Beyala et Am???lie Nothomb), po???sie (Charles Baudelaire), th??????tre (Aim??? C???saire, Anne H???bert), aphorisme (Blaise Pascal), essai (Andr??? Breton), manifeste (???mile Zola) et cin???ma (Fran???ois Truffaut, Ousmane Semb???ne), le recueil inclut aussi des r???f???rences aux classiques des autres litt???ratures afin de mieux faire ressortir les dimensions translinguistiques et interculturelles des pratiques de cr???ation et de r???ception.
