Interpreting the Republic - Marginalization and Belonging in Contemporary French Novels and Films

Informationen zum Autor Vinay Swamy is assistant professor of French and Francophone studies at Vassar College. Klappentext Interpreting the Republic focuses on contemporary French literary and cinematic works (1986-2003) to reflect on what it means to belong to a nation such as France. Vinay Swamy demonstrates how supposedly unshakable principles based on French republican ideals, can be, and often are, (re)interpreted in novel ways by the works analyzed in this study, which carve out niches for their protagonists that are otherwise foreclosed in the French national space.
