- Summary:
- The global context of globalization makes it possible to reexamine otherwise the French-speaking literary discourses that make the island a reference horizon in the cultural space. This literature also shows that the island can be a source of multiple imaginaries and remain linked to social representations and insularity as an anthropological concept. Starting from this general observation, the works gathered here re-examine the apparatus of representation of the island in French-language literatures and sometimes establish a link with other discursive universes. These contributions then question the imaginaries that the island evokes or insularity in social representations, its treatment in literary aesthetics, looks and identities, etc. To understand this complexity, the mobilized approaches nourish analyzes divided into four themes: poetics and the process of subjectivation; the geocritics and geopolitics of the islands; imaginary insularities, (post) colonialism, mythology and utopia; finally, the reweaving of the island in literary speeches and aesthetics.--Cerf.
