Directory         1.     Laurent Gautier , Textes et Contextes Message 1: Textes et Contextes Date: 25-Oct-2010 From: Laurent Gautier <laurent.gautieru-bourgogne.fr> Subject: Textes et Contextes E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Textes et Contextes Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis Call Deadline: 10-Nov-2010 Call for papers: Issue number 6 of online journal Textes et Contextes (Centre Interlangues, University of Burgundy) Authoritarian discourse(s) and resistance in the twentieth century Issue number 6 of Textes et Contextes (edited by EA 4182, Centre Interlangues, University of Burgundy) intends to reflect on the types of discourse produced or imposed by totalitarian and, more generally, authoritarian regimes or by a dominant central power over its colonies, its regions or its periphery. The issue will concentrate on the twentieth century without any geographical limitation. Discourse is considered as a political tool in the service of power. Aspects which can be studied are its use and its rhetoric as well as phenomena of propaganda linked to official discourse, of manipulation, of censorship, of self-censorship, etc. It can be suggested that authoritarian regimes also generate forms of resistance, simultaneously with, and as a consequence of, authoritarian discourse. Studies about the link between oppression and resistance in Germany, Italy and France have shown that 'oppressive or occupation regimes in Europe during the Second World War and their opponents belong to the same world' because they are born from the same culture, the same state structures, the same social world and the same geostrategic world . Papers dealing with the spaces of freedom offered by the forms of resistance born in authoritarian contexts, with their dynamics, with the modalities through which they escape authority/authoritarianism (exile, creation, subversive forms of language, affirmation of individual or regional history to counter official history...) will be welcome. Part of the volume will be devoted to the forms taken by propaganda and/or resistance in artistic creation (literature, painting, cinema...). Aspects which could be examined in this perspective include the notion of democracy (or its absence) within artistic forms, the relationships built up between the author (authority?) and the reader/spectator/viewer, the forms of persuasion used by artists and the reader/spectator/viewer's margin of freedom (of resistance?). In the particular instance of the novel, the works in which Nelly Wolf examines the relationships between literature and politics (Le roman de la démocratie, 2003) could provide useful tools for analysis. Wolf, considering that there exists an analogy between the novel and the principles on which modern democracy is based, coined phrases like 'the contractual novel' or 'the novel as democracy'; such notions could offer fruitful ground for study. Following such analyses, papers could examine either how art produced in democratic contexts can become a form of authoritarian discourse or, conversely, how art born in authoritarian contexts and constrained by censorship manages to create internal democracy and therefore a form of resistance.
