The encounter of Eastern Christianity with early Islam /
:
The theme of this book is the early encounters between Christianity and Islam in the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire and in Persia from the beginnings of Islam in Mecca to the time of the Abbasids in Bagdad. The contributions in this volume deal with crucial subjects of political and theological dialogue and controversy that characterized the varying responses of the Christian communities in the Byzantine Eastern provinces to the Islamic conquest and its subsequent impact on Byzantine society and history. This volume opens up new research perspectives surrounding the confrontation of Christianity with the early theological and political development of Islam. The present publication emphasizes the importance of the study of the beginnings and the foundations of the relations between the two religions.

Reconsidering Eusebius : collected papers on literary, historical, and theological issues /
:
Over the last decades, Eusebius has been the focus of a great deal of attention. New light has been shed both on his writings and on his personality, which has led to a welcome re-assessment of his significance. As a result, he is no longer perceived as a mere compiler but as a powerful author who largely contributed to the construction of the orthodox Church's triumphalism. This volume seeks to contribute to the ongoing re-evaluation of Eusebius as an active participant to the construction of late antique history, theology, and literature. The result is an interdisciplinary collection of articles by an international team of scholars who offer innovative papers on one of the most important late antique author.

Pragmatic Approaches to Drama : Studies in Communication on the Ancient Stage /
:
This volume collects papers on pragmatic perspectives on ancient theatre. Scholars working on literature, linguistics, theatre will find interesting insights on verbal and non-verbal uses of language in ancient Greek and Roman Drama. Comedies and Tragedies spanning from 5th B.C.E. to 1st C.E. are investigated in terms of im/politeness, theory of mind, interpersonal pragmatics, body language, to name some of the approaches which afford new interpretations of difficult textual passages or shed new light into nuances of characterisation, or possibilities of performance. Words, silence, gestures, do things, all the more so in dramatic dialogues on stage.

Le Labyrinthe littéraire de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr /
:
Depuis ses débuts avec la nouvelle « La Cale » en 2014, les textes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr connaissent un succès qui ne se dément pas. Terre ceinte en 2015, Silence du chœur en 2017 et De purs hommes en 2018 ont remporté des prix littéraires de grand renom. Enfin, le jury du prix Goncourt a opté en 2021 avec La plus secrète Mémoire des hommes pour un roman qui offre une métaréflexion littéraire subtile, détaillée et lucide sur l'histoire de la littérature africaine ainsi que sur le milieu littéraire parisien. Ce volume cherche à éclairer les modalités narratives qui permettent à l'auteur de transformer le politique en littérature, mais aussi à situer son œuvre dans le contexte littéraire actuel. Since his debut with the short story "La Cale" in 2014, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's texts have enjoyed increasing success.

This volume seeks to shed light on the narrative modalities that allow the author to transform politics into literature, but also to situate his work in the current literary context. See Less
