Polysèmes 25 "Lieux revisités".
Les articles réunis dans ce numéro sont, pour la plupart, issus de communications données dans le cadre du séminaire de littérature anglophone organisé par le laboratoire CORPUS de l’Université de Picardie-Jules Verne (UR-UPJV 4295), de 2018 à 2021. L’objet du séminaire était d’étudier la dynamique du retour vers des lieux, physiques et textuels, à l’œuvre dans la littérature et les arts du monde anglophone depuis la Renaissance. Malgré la diversité des aires géographiques représentées, du Pays de Galles peint par Wordsworth au Sud faulknérien, les textes étudiés ici sont tous animés par un tropisme fort vers des lieux d’apparence fondateurs – « premier œuvre » de l’humanité que serait la tour de Babel, paysage atemporel de la pastorale, étendues vierges des Grandes Plaines –, mais loin de fournir un récit stable des origines, cette « recherche de la provenance » s’effectue selon la logique de la généalogie foucaldienne, identifiée par Xavier Giudicelli dans son article : « elle ne fonde pas, tout au contraire », « elle inquiète ce qu’on percevait immobile, elle fragmente ce qu’on pensait uni ; elle montre l’hétérogénéité de ce qu’on imaginait conforme à soi-même » (Foucault 153). Il en est ainsi de la représentation de la tour de Babel, symbole d’un usage perverti du langage dans That Hideous Strength (1945) de C.S. Lewis, des rives de la Wye revisitées par un poète tourmenté dans « Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey », des récits fondateurs subvertis par l’inceste et le métissage chez William Faulkner et Carlos Fuentes, des arcadies queer d’Aubrey Beardsley et Alan Hollinghurst.Accéder au site de la revue

Art and Migration: Revisioning the borders of community, Manchester University Press, 2021. This collection offers a response to the view that migration disrupts national heritage. Investigating the mediation provided by migrant art, it asks how we can rethink art history in a way that uproots its reliance on space and place as stable definitions of style. Beginning with an invaluable overview of migration studies terminology and concepts,
Art and migration opens dialogues between academics of art history and migrations studies through a series of essays and interviews. It also re-evaluates the cultural understanding of borders and revisits the contours of the art world - a supposedly globalised community re-assessed here as structurally bordered by art market dynamics, career constraints, gatekeeping and patronage networks.

Marie Ruiz, "Migration Infrastructure and Brokerage in Victorian Female Emigration Societies",
Journal of Migration Studies 7.1 (2021): 24-50. In the nineteenth century, female mobility was eased by a variety of intermediary structures, which interacted to direct the migration of British women to the Empire. Among these migration infrastructures were female emigration societies such as the Female Middle Class Emigration Society (1861–1886). This organisation was the first to assist gentlewomen in emigrating. It adopted a holistic approach to British female emigration by promoting women’s departure, selecting candidates, arranging their protection on the voyage, as well as their reception in the colonies. Grounded in a multifactorial perspective, this article offers an insight into how female migration brokerage came into being in the Victorian context. It intersects migration with gender and labour perspectives in a trans-sectorial approach of the history of female migration infrastructures in the British Empire, and reveals the diversity of transnational migration intermediaries interacting at meso level between female emigrants, non-state actors, and state institutions.
