Narrative Poem

In this paper, I discuss La Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France by Blaise Cendrars, a narrative poem first published in French in Paris in 1913. The poem has raised seemingly intractable questions for many years, given its status as one of the most important modernist poems, and one of the most important poems in 20th century French poetry. As I argue, considering some of the issues from the perspective of cognitive stylistics, especially the theory of conceptual integration, may help explain how readers make sense of this complicated poem.

The review is devoted to the work of the famous researcher of French literature T.V. Balashova and her last book. The collection “Paris Belongs to Dreamers…” (“Parizh prinadlezhit mechtatelyam…”) contains scientific articles on French poetry of the 20th century, primarily its iconic figures - Guillaume Apollinaire, André Breton and Jacques Roubaud. The review notes not only the breadth of the scientist's interests, her deep analytical mind, but also loyalty to the topic chosen for life, love for France, close friendship with outstanding French writers. Her contribution to the development of cultural and scientific cooperation between Russia and France is noted.

Résumé: Cette étude interroge l’illisibilité dont est fréquemment accusée une certaine poésie française contemporaine (depuis 1968), notamment liée aux influences avant-gardistes héritées de la première moitié du 20e siècle européen (Futurisme, Dada, Surréalisme, Lettrisme) ou à celles du Modernisme dit « américain » (de Cummings à Burroughs). Elle prend pour cas exemplaire l’écriture du polygraphe Christian Prigent, prolongeant les réflexions menées lors du colloque de San Diego de 2008 dont les actes sont parus en 2014 sous le titre : L’Illisibilité en questions (autour de Michel Deguy, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent, Nathalie Quintane). Prigent passe pour un poète illisible, ce que l’écrivain conteste, invitant à infléchir ce jugement de la réception lectoriale, peut-être vers un parti-pris de dis-lisibilité. Ce concept, créé à San Diego, permet en effet d’articuler la double et contradictoire réception (auctoriale et lectoriale) des œuvres au cœur de la polémique. Les actes de San Diego et l’essai Une erreur de la nature publié par Prigent en 1996 servent de guide à cette enquête.Mots-clés : dis-lisibilité ; illisibilité ; modernité négative ; Prigent (Christian) ; poésie contemporaine ; réception.Abstract : In this paper, I question the illegibility / unreadability of which a part of the contemporary French poetry (since 1968) is often accused, in particular the one that inherits the influences of the European avant-gardes of the early 20th century (Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Lettrism) or of the so-called “American Modernism” (from Cummings to Burroughs). I will take, as example, the polygraph Christian Prigent, extending the discussions held at the San Diego’s Conference in 2008, whose proceedings were published in 2014 under the title : L’Illisibilité en questions (autour de Deguy Michel, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent, Nathalie Quintane). Prigent is often considered as an illegible / unreadable poet, what the writer denies, inviting his readers to understand rather his dis-legibility / dis-readability. Such concept, created in San Diego, makes it possible to articulate the double and contradictory reception (authorship and readership) of many poetry books in the heart of the controversy. L’Illisibilité en questions and the essay Une erreur de la nature, published by Prigent in 1996, are taken as references in this article.Keywords: dis-legibility; illegibility; negative modernity; Prigent (Christian); contemporary poetry; reception.

Abstract. Dyslexia is a phenomenon for which the brain correlates have been studied since the beginning of the 20th century. Simultaneously, the field of education has also been studying dyslexia and its remediation, mainly through behavioral data. The last two decades have seen a growing interest in integrating neuroscience and education. This article provides a quick overview of pertinent scientific literature involving neurophysiological data on functional brain differences in dyslexia and discusses their very limited influence on the development of reading remediation for dyslexic individuals. Nevertheless, it appears that if certain conditions are met – related to the key elements of educational neuroscience and to the nature of the research questions – conceivable benefits can be expected from the integration of neurophysiological data with educational research. When neurophysiological data can be employed to overcome the limits of using behavioral data alone, researchers can both unravel phenomenon otherwise impossible to document and raise new questions.
