Entitled ‘La nouvelle culture méditerranéenne’ (‘The New Mediterranean Culture’), Camus’s lecture has been interpreted in radically different ways: while some critics have dismissed it as an incoherent piece of juvenilia, others see it as key to understanding his future development as a thinker, whether as the first expression of his so-called ‘Mediterranean humanism’ or as an early indication of what is seen as his essentially colonial mentality . R Ann Frost amón del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) was undoubtedly the most controversial literary figure of his generation . Whilst his genius was recognised by fellow writers, the reading public was slow to accept his work, and his theatre taxed directors and audiences alike . One of the harshest criticisms levelled against him concerned his use of repetition . This study shows how the reuse, recycling and development of material becomes one of the hallmarks of Valle-Inclán’s writing during the first three decades of his literary career, linking one genre with another and blurring the borders between different aesthetics . The repetition of themes and motifs, characters and stylistic devices reveals an underlying interdependence among works that on the surface appear un- These various interpretations are based on reading the text of ‘The New Mediterranean Culture’ in a single context, whether that of Camus’s life and work as a whole, of French discourses on the Mediterranean or of colonial Algeria (and French discourses on that country) . By contrast, this study argues that Camus’s lecture – and in principle any historical text – needs to be seen in a multiplicity of contexts, discursive and otherwise, if readers are to understand properly what its author was doing in writing it . Using Camus’s lecture as a case study, the book provides a detailed theoretical and practical justification of this ‘multi-contextualist’ approach . neil Foxlee is a Visiting Research Fellow at Lancaster University and a lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, where his teaching has included MA modules on Political Rhetoric and the Rhetoric of Narrative and Image . His published work includes several articles on Camus and a study of the campaign rhetoric of Barack Obama . He is also a contributor to (and co-editor of) G . McKay et al . (eds), Subcultures and New Religious Movements in Russia and East-Central Europe (Peter Lang, 2009) .

Many of Valle-Inclán’s works have been studied in isolation, rather than as pieces of a whole . This book examines the elements that provide significant links in his writing between 1889 and 1922, most of which shares the common backdrop of Galicia, and demonstrates that apparently unrelated works are part of a larger picture . Despite changes in perspective and genre, there are constants that relate individual works to those that precede and follow, creating a unifying pattern of continuity . ann FRoSt received her PhD from University College London . Since 1988 she has been an affiliated lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Cambridge .
Barbara Lebrun / Jill Lovecy (eds) Une et divisible ? Plural Identities in Modern France Oxford, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt am Main, New York, Wien, 2010 . VIII, 250 pp . Modern French Identities . Vol . 90 Edited by Peter Collier pb . ISBN 978-3-0343-0123-7 CHF 56 .– / € D 38 .10 / € A 39 .20 / € 35 .60 / £ 32 .– / US-$ 55 .95 T his book offers a selection of the papers presented at the 2008 annual conference of the Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France (ASMCF), with chapters focusing on regional formation, European policy, the cultural landscape of Paris, the place of Maghrebi artists in popular music, the evolution of cultural policy regarding ‘popular’ culture, and filmic and novelised representations of desire, ethnicity and nationality . Guided by postcolonial critique, this book takes as its starting point the recognition of multiple identities in modern and contemporary France, despite (and against) the traditional republican emphasis on national unification and the relegation of notions of ethnicity, sexuality and cultural difference to the so-called private sphere . While many publications have engaged with this topic, few juxtapose social and political issues with cultural approaches . This edited volume, by contrast, incorporates the work of specialists drawn from a broad range of academic disciplinary areas, including history, politics, literature and cultural studies, and shows how perceptions of the self and of the other as French have changed over the years, with an emphasis on the contemporary period (post-1945) .
