The latest novel by one of Haiti’s most brilliant writers The most recent book by the renowned Haitian novelist, essayist, and poet René Depestre, Popa Singer is a semiautobiographical chronicle of Haiti in the late 1950s, the very moment when the country first came under decades of despotic rule. To celebrate her son’s return home after years of exile, Dianira Fontoriol (aka “Popa Singer”)—an indomitable mother armed only with her sewing machine and her personal convictions—determines to resist in her own way the infamous Ubu King of the Tropics: François “Papa Doc” Duvalier. Depestre’s novel tells the story of this at once intimate and epic struggle. Combining colorful fantasy and biting social satire, it is a deeply personal and singularly artistic take on an infamous chapter in Haitian history.

Pour fêter dignement le retour de son fils au pays, Popa Singer, matriarche éclairée et indéboulonnable, armée de sa seule machine à coudre et de son utopie personnelle, est bien résolue à résister à sa manière à l'Ubu Roi des Tropiques, le plus atrocement absurde que les Grandes Antilles aient subi : Duvalier, alias Papa Doc. Popa Singer va raconter l'histoire de ce duel à Jacmel, ville natale de l'auteur, comme García Márquez racontait le Macondo de la famille Buendia dans Cent ans de solitude. Tout le récit tient dans une éloquente dialectique entre la monstruosité aberrante de Papa Doc et cette « maman-bobine de fil » qui « fera planer son cerf-volant enchanté dans l'azur féminin de l'histoire, en mère nourricière, ravie d'alimenter en brins de toute beauté la machine Singer à coudre les beaux draps d'un réel-merveilleux germano-haïtien. » La fantaisie rabelaisienne se propage en nomenclatures fantasques qui sont en soi des morceaux de bravoure dignes du Mangeclous d'Albert Cohen. S'il témoigne avec une joyeuse férocité de l'épouvantable caprice du président à vie, le romancier des enjouements amoureux, styliste hors pair et maître d'une langue incomparablement inventive, mêlant allègre faconde et humour au vitriol, ne lâche rien de son verbe en transe ludique, véritable incendie d'allusions et de métaphores pour dire un monde de folie.

Michaëlle Jean, Secrétaire générale de la Francophonie depuis janvier 2015, a vigoureusement pris la parole partout pour positionner l’action de l’Organisation sur l’échiquier multilatéral, dans ces temps troublés par des attentats meurtriers, des exodes migratoires jamais égalés, et des processus électoraux agités. On a entendu la voix de la Francophonie lors de discussions de haut niveau sur tous ces défis et toutes ces urgences dont les pays de l’espace francophone peuvent témoigner sur les cinq continents, mais aussi sur le financement de l’éducation, l’investissement dans le capital humain, les stratégies à engager en faveur de l’entrepreneuriat, de l’innovation, des écosystèmes économiques, le virage numérique et technologique, la protection de l’environnement, la défense des droits des femmes et des enfants, la mobilisation de la jeunesse, le multilinguisme comme une condition essentielle d’un multilatéralisme plus inclusif et plus démocratique, et bien d’autres questions encore. Ce recueil d’un nombre choisi de discours et d’interventions, qui couvre des thématiques au cœur de l’actualité durant le mandat de la Secrétaire générale, montre son investissement inlassable pour la réalisation de la feuille de route ambitieuse qui lui a été confiée par les chefs d’État et de gouvernement membres de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), la poursuite de l’idéal fondateur en faveur d’un humanisme intégral et universel, la sauvegarde des valeurs, des principes et des objectifs inscrits dans la Charte. Vision, convictions, nuances, courage, sensibilité, lucidité, expérience, pragmatisme, volonté de rassembler caractérisent cette première femme à la tête de la Francophonie.

Continuous model theory is an extension of classical first order logic which is best suited for classes of structures which are endowed with a metric. Applications have grown considerably in the past decade. This book is dedicated to showing how the techniques of continuous model theory are used to study C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. This book geared to researchers in both logic and functional analysis provides the first self-contained collection of articles surveying the many applications of continuous logic to operator algebras that have been obtained in the last 15 years.

This edited volume will be the first book examining the art history of China’s socialist period from the perspective of modernism, modernity, and global interactions. The majority of chapters are based on newly available archival materials and fresh critical frameworks/concepts. By shifting the frame of interpretation from socialist realism to socialist modernity, this study reveals the plurality of the historical process of developing modernity in China, the autonomy of artistic agency, and the complexity of an art world conditioned, yet not completely confined, by its surrounding political and ideological apparatus. The unexpected global exchanges examined by many of the authors in this study and the divergent approaches, topics, and genres they present add new sources and insights to this research field, revealing an art history that is heterogeneous, pluralistic, and multi-layered. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art and politics, and Chinese studies.

The Migrant Canon in Twenty-First-Century France explains the causes of twenty-first-century global migrations and their impact on French literature and the French literary establishment. A marginal genre in 1980s France, since the turn of the century “migrant literature” has become central to criticism and publishing. Oana Sabo addresses previously unanswered questions about the proliferation of contemporary migrant texts and their shifting themes and forms, mechanisms of literary legitimation, and notions of critical and commercial achievement. Through close readings of novels (by Mathias Énard, Milan Kundera, Dany Laferrière, Henri Lopès, Andreï Makine, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Alice Zeniter, and others) and sociological analyses of their consecrating authorities (including the Prix littéraire de la Porte Dorée, the Académie française, publishing houses, and online reviewers), Sabo argues that these texts are best understood as cultural commodities that mediate between literary and economic forms of value, academic and mass readerships, and national and global literary markets. By examining the latest literary texts and cultural agents not yet subjected to sufficient critical study, Sabo contributes to contemporary literature, cultural history, migration studies, and literary sociology.
