Après la chute de l'ex-URSS… Ex- in the Construction of Social Meaning of Proper Nouns in the Written Press
Agata RÊBKOWSKA
Écho des études romanes 2024, 20(1):17-27 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2024.002
The aim of the article is to show the role of the prefix ex- in constructing the social meaning of the proper noun l'URSS in French media discourse. Observing the syntactic context of the proper noun l'URSS where the prefix appears allowed for the distinction of three most common effects of its use : the actualization of the temporal meaning of the proper noun, the strengthening of the enunciator's anthropocentric perspective, and the use of the structure ex-URSS as a tool for categorization in contemporary news press. The analysis is based on press articles that appeared in the journals Le Monde, Le Figaro,...

Zdenìk Lorenc et ses traductions de la littérature françaiseFrench
Zdenìk Lorenc and his Translation Activities
Michal BAUER
Écho des études romanes 2024, 20(1):29-46 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2024.003
The translation activity of the Czech surrealist poet and writer Zdenìk Lorenc has been a part of Czech literature and Czech-French artistic relations for at least six decades and proves, among other things, his interest in the works of French writers and French art in general. Lorenc first made Tristan Tzara's work available in the Czech environment secretly in the 1940s for his friends. Later, he introduced it to a wider readership, especially in the 1960s and, posthumously, at the beginning of the 21st century. Lorenc's mediating work provides a remarkable picture of Tzara's reception and reflection in the Czech context.
À toi de Kim Thúy et Pascal Janovjak : que peut la littérature ?French
À toi by Kim Thúy and Pascal Janovjak : What is the Power of Literature ?
Zuzana MALINOVSKÁ
Écho des études romanes 2024, 20(1):47-53 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2024.004
This article reflects on new literary practices engendered by digital media, based on the exchange of emails between Kim Thúy, a Quebec writer of Vietnamese origin, and Pascal Janovjak, a French-speaking Swiss author of Franco-Slovak origin, published in 2011 under the title À toi. The paper shows that the book in question, conceived primarily as a tool for self-knowledge, is also a tool for understanding the world.

Dalibor ®ÍLA
Écho des études romanes 2024, 20(1):55-63 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2024.005
The novel Le retour de l'ours by Quebec writer Catherine Lafrance represents one of the recent French-Canadian books inspired by the end of the world. It narrates the story of the inhabitants of an Inuit village in Canada's Far North, survivors of a climate apocalypse. Now a legend to them, the Apocalypse is accompanied by a prophecy of the return of a polar bear. When Aloupa, the village watchman, announces having spotted one, the peaceful existence of the villagers comes to an end. The return of the bear is a reflection on the Canadian Far North and its environment, changed after severe climatic cataclysms. A tale of ecological anticipation,...

Michal OBSZYÑSKI
Écho des études romanes 2024, 20(1):65-78 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2024.006
In this paper we will present the main lines of the debate around the idea of racism as approached by authors such as Pierre Nepveu, Marco Micone, Rodney Saint-Éloi, Natasha Kanapé Fontaine, and Dany Laferrière. Drawing on recent research by Sean Mills and David Austin, as well as in the context of the debate on the decolonization of Canadian history, the aim is to show the emergence of a new, more open, and direct approach to the problem of Quebec's relationship to otherness, as opposed to the political radicalization that we are observing nowadays. Based on the methodological tools of discourse analysis, this study will also aim to show the...
