Summary:

This volume is about what happens to the contemporary French lyric in the translingual Arabic context. Drawing on lyric theory, comparative poetics, and linguistics, it reveals three generic modes of translating Arabic poetics into French in works by Habib Tengour (Algeria), Edmond Jabès (Egypt), Salah Stétié(Lebanon), Abdelwahab Meddeb (Tunisia), and Ryoko Sekiguchi (Japan).
