In the first part of this article, the different roles of the adverbial locution en même temps are considered : namely that of the temporal indication of simultaneity, and that, more complex, of discursive marker, according to C. Vaguer (2017) and G. Drouet and E. Richard (2017). Next, a focus is proposed on the specific use made of this locution by French President, Emmanuel Macron, for whom en même temps has become a distinctive discursive trait.

The award in 2021 of the Goncourt prize to La plus secrète mémoire des hommes, by the Senegalese Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, represents a new step in the consolidation of the «littérature-monde». In this paper, we will analyse those aspects of this novel that best illustrate this new deterritorialized narrative that forces us to trascend strictly national framworks in the study of literature. We will also delve further into the characteristics of these novels written by migrant authors who have been distinguised by their cultural hybridization, who draw from multiple literary traditions and feature postmodern narrative techniques. Those thematic and formal aspects in which the last Goncourt prize deviate from the preceding generations of French-speaking African authors will also be studied.

In his latest novel entitled Saharienne indigo, Tierno Monénembo returns to his native country, Guinea and its history. The fortuitous meeting of a Frenchwoman and a Guinean woman, Véronique Bangoura, in Paris is the starting point of a double narration, on the one hand that of the successive appointments of the two ladies, on the other hand the story of life that the African tells the European, at the latter's request. Dragged into the whirlwind of her memories, the Guinean, in a quest for identity, reconstitutes an imaginary kinship, which first passes through the name. As a writer, Monénembo situates this quest in an intertextuality based on the initials of Véronique Bangoura. This article will show how Monénembo, by giving voice to the victims of the Guinean dictatorship, pleads for a “living memory”, which would also be a literary memory.

The current paper is a cartography of Santiago Amigorena’s literary project, following to construct the basis for a wider comprehension of his scriptural plan. To that end, we offer an overview of the issues that triggered his writing, and to undertake the enormous auto-bio-encyclopaedic project implied by his Le dernier Livre. Also, this paper de-particularises his project linking it to other literary strands, while we contextualise the concepts used by Amigorena in his works. Finally, we propose a Derridean reading of the relation built by Amigorena between writing, silence and speech, taking as case study two of his novels where the afore-mentioned link shows a preponderant role: Une enfance laconique (1998) and Le ghetto intérieur (2019).

Based on the results of a qualitative study on Virginie Despentes’ reception in Spain carried out between 2018 and 2022, we propose an analysis of one of the French author’s texts, taking into account the literary, cultural, political and anthropological conditioning factors that are crucially interrelated in the study of translation and literary reception.  Through the analysis of the original text and the translation of her novel Les Chiennes savantes (1996), we reflect on the relationship between literature, translation and the reception of French literature in Spanish society from this case study. Keywords: French literature, reception, Deforming Tendencies, Berman, Despentes

The trips to Italy that Paul Bourget made throughout his life seem to have influenced his literary career and his intellectual, from the dilettante to the successful novelist and critic. How these Italian artistic sensations conditioned Bourget to establish psychological criticism that was increasingly systematic? How is this italianisation reflected in his novels  and what are the artistic references that determined this inclination? Following the course of this pilgrimage and the development of his writings, Italy seems a point of inflection in the evolution of Paul Bourget’s psychological thought. The purpose of this article is precisely to shed light on this hypothesis and to contribute to a better understanding and reading of Bourget’s psychological criticism. 

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar los distintos valores de los marcadores discursivos cela dit y ceci dit en diacronía (examinaremos su evolución desde su emergencia en la historia de la lengua francesa hasta la actualidad). Por otro lado, comprobaremos si existe algún paralelismo con los usos de los adverbios deícticos que se encuentran en el origen de estos marcadores, es decir: ici y là. De acuerdo con este objetivo, revisaremos el sistema de adverbios deícticos del francés, así como los cambios que estas unidades han experimentado a lo largo de la historia.

This work examines the influence of Pierre Restaut's grammatical works, the Principes généraux et raisonnés de la grammaire françoise, par Demandes et Réponses (1730) and the Abrégé des principes de la grammaire françoise (1732), in the history of French language teaching abroad in the 18th century. These grammars were intended in principle for French speakers wishing to master their language through the rules. They also served as a propaedeutic to learning Latin, but their success was not confined to the French territory. Indeed, in the second half of the 18th century, there were numerous examples of collection and translation of these two works.They were also published in many countries such as : Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, England and Spain. After a presentation of the author and his grammars, this work offers a panorama and an analysis of those of his continuators.
