  Narratives of mining in the Pacific - history, literature, politics and heritage

  Journal de la société des oceanistes theme issue

  Le projet de ce dossier, coordonné par Eddy Banaré et Pierre-Yves Le Meur est de mettre en lumière autant la variété des problématiques posées par l’exploitation minière dans le Pacifique que leurs points de convergence, aux travers du prisme de sa mise en récit : comment la mine est-elle racontée ? Par qui, à quelles fins et avec quels effets ? Pour traiter de ce thème, sont attendus des papiers proposant des analyses et des mises en contexte des textes, situations et héritages historiques et des productions artistiques (littéraires, picturales, cinématographiques, théâtrales, etc.) et muséographiques portant sur les différentes formes de mise en récit de la mine dans le Pacifique.

  Lire la littérature et les arts visuels du monde anglophone avec le Lacan de l’après-encore

  Reading English-language Arts and Literature with the Later Lacan

  Lacanian analysis of literature and the arts has not been in vogue in France for some time now. Following the publication of Écrits in 1966, there was a period of analytic fascination with the imaginary capture of the mirror phase and its intersection with the structures of the symbolic in both literary and film studies. Since the 1980s, academic engagement with Lacanian theory in the cultural field has been in a slump, and this for several reasons: the reputed difficulty of Lacan’s style as apprehended through Ecrits, the opposition of numerous feminist critics, and the general decline of theory in the field of literary studies. Today, in light of the growing force of scientistic conceptions of the human subject (at the level of intelligence, behaviour, reproduction, the limits of the body, mortality), Lacanian theory finds renewed relevance in its unwavering postulate of the subject as singular, unique and incalculable, insusceptible to scientific conclusiveness.
