Abstract: This article discusses the use
and function of illustrations in Peter Conn's "Literature in America:
An Illustrated History" (1989). In several respects Conn's book goes back
to a tradition of textbook histories that flowered during the first two
decades of the twentieth century. At the same time, however, Literature
in America questions certain assumptions governing textbooks. By opposing
and interrelating text and image, Conn displays the ideological capacity
of illustrations. This capacity shows itself in the way illustrations
contribute to the imagination of the American soul.

Abstract (E): Flaubert's opposition to illustrated editions
of his works was notorious, and yet he himself had envisaged the publication of a
fac-simile of the Saint Julien stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, significantly
placed at the end of his version of the hagiography. This article investigates the
choice and placing of the illustration and compares the visual and written narrative.
Abstract (F): L'opposition flaubertienne aux éditions
illustrées de ses oeuvres était notoire, et pourtant il a lui-même envisagé la
publication d'un fac simile du vitrail de Saint Julien dans la cathédrale de
Rouen, placé de manière significative à la fin de sa version de cette hagiographie.
Cet article constitue une enquête sur le choix et l'emplacement de l'illustration
en question et une comparaison de la narration textuelle et visuelle.

Abstract: This investigation of the narrative prospects of
urban pictures in the scenic tradition is devoted to Hans Memling's painting depicting a
sequence of Passion scenes set in a topographic view of Jerusalem. Refuting Goodman's
view that here "is not only no direction but no order of telling at all" attention is
drawn to the telling rhetoric of certain "micro-scenic" core motifs whose mature typiconic
features only emerged with the formation of the scenic tradition's full array of picture
types. It is conjectured that aposcopic vision may well be a source for scenic parallels
between distance and proximity, hence also for narrative parallels between prospector and
sightseer roles implicit in various scenic picture types.

Abstract (E): This article deals with the role played by the graphic and spatial characteristics of the writing process in the invention of a literary fiction.

Abstract (F): Ce texte étudie le rôle que joue les dimensions visuelles et spatiales de l'acte d'écrire et de dessiner dans l'engendrement et l'élaboration du texte littéraire. Tout en se concentrant sur quelques exemples de la pratique de Franz Kafka, il démontre de manière plus générale que la création dépend également du geste de la main qui trace et qui inscrit.

Abstract (E): The first aim of this article is to deal with the intertextual plays in Martin tom Dieck's "literary" comics. At the same time, it also analyzes how material aspects of the comics, such as the size panel or the number of panels per page, can achieve a narrative function.
Abstract (F): Cet article soulève une double question. D'abord, il cherche à creuser ce qu'il en est de l'intertextualité des récits graphiques éminemment littéraires de Martin tom Dieck. Ensuite, il analyse comment des aspects proprement formels de la bande dessinée comme les dimensions des cases ou le nombre de vignettes par page, peuvent acquérir une fonction spécifiquement narrative.

Abstract (E): What does it mean to read an image
through another one, which appears as a kind of small-scale model of it? A
recent work by Eric Lambé, "Ophélie ou les directeurs des ressources
humaines", proposes a combination of different types of such corresponding
images whichshould enable the reader to decipher the book at a formal level.
This article analyzes the challenges of such an internal "visual metadiscourse".
Abstract (F): Parfois des images très complexes
se laissent déchiffrer à travers d'autres, qui en proposent une sorte de modèle
réduit, plus simple à saisir. Une bande dessinée récente d'Eric Lambé, "Ophélie
ou les directeurs des ressources humaines", se plaît à combiner divers types
de telles images en correspondance. L'article analyse les défis et les problèmes
d'un tel métadiscours visuel intégré.

Abstract (E): In this article, the autor critically discusses the way Umberto's Eco theory of "the limits of interpretation" functions as an anti-deconstructionnist "machine de guerre". The author argues that Eco's semiotic vision of deconstruction bears no serious relationship with the main theses deconstructionnism stands for.
Abstract (F): L'auteur de cet article interroge critiquement la manière dont la théorie des "limites de l'interprétation" d'Umberto Eco fonctionne surtout comme une machine de guerre anti-déconstructionniste. Il démontre que la conception des thèses déconstructionnistes que défend Eco, n'a rien à voir avec les enjeux véritables de la déconstruction.

review of Jacqueline Sudaka-Bénézéraf's "Franz Kafka. Aspects d'une poétique

in literature both at genetic and at stylistic level of the text.

Abstract (E): Martin Vaughn-James's "The Cage" is one of the most important graphic novels ever written. In this article, one tries to explain the commercial failure of this work as the result of its separate refusal by the two communities of readers it adresses simultaneously: the literary audience on the one hand, the comics audience on the other hand.
Abstract (F): "La Cage" de Martin Vaughn-James est incontestablement une des bandes dessinées les plus importantes qui aient jamais été écrites. Dans cet article, on explique l'insuccès commercial de la première édition française du livre par le fait qu'il s'adressait simultanément à deux publics, l'un littéraire et l'autre visuel, qui n'ont pas su construire leur propre dépassement.

Abstract: Over the last few years, the comics' field has taken decisive steps towards increasing its status within culture at large. Theoretical research on the topic is on the rise and proves especially fruitful in a time when the 'pictorial turn' gains even more momentum with the expansion of new media. Seminal in the further development towards an appreciation of the comic is a self-conscious attitude towards the steps that are undertaken in the development of an aesthetic and narrative theory of the medium. Academic involvement in this project further attests to the increasing autonomy of this cultural subsystem.
Keywords: Anne Magnussen, Hans-Christian Christiansen
