Articles published in Eurozine
Myths of neutrality
Ignoring the Holocaust in Sweden and Switzerland
In Sweden and Switzerland, complicity in the Holocaust was for a long time ignored. It was only as a result of foreign publicity that national myths of neutrality gave way to admissions of responsibility, writes Arne Ruth. [French version added] [more]
Opposed biblical translations
Biblical language is poetic and elliptical, replete with anagrams, alliteration and wordplay. Rather than treating figurative language as a problem, translations of the Bible need to embrace it as bearer of religious and spiritual meaning, writes Josette Larue-Tondeur. [more]
Events marketing and design in the present day
Little mythologies of mass technology
The convergence of technology means that the form taken by devices is no longer dictated by function. The device becomes pure interface, a social marker without concern for the feature. The result is a jumble of designs, devoid of any meaning beyond that ascribed by advertising. [more]
The perchance of a coming of the otherwoman
Questions surrounding woman, women, gender, or even sexual difference represent an obstacle at the heart of Derrida's deconstructive work. His writing opens up for the possibility of the reorientation of discourse, history, and tradition itself. [more]
Encyclopaedist of the international
Antonin J. Liehm, editor of the Czech magazine Litérarní noviny until 1968 and founder of Lettre Internationale, has been at the forefront of numerous attacks on the "provincialism of major cultures". One theme has persisted throughout: the idea of an international magazine. [more]
Remarks on the translation of works of French literary theory into Slovak
"Classic" works of French literary theory of the 1960s to the 1980s have been translated into eastern European languages with a delay of decades. Can general observations be made about the transfer from one cultural space to another? [more]
Let the decolonization of literature commence!
The condescension shown by the French literary establishment towards francophone literature from the former colonies may have become a thing of the past. A emergent literature in French that reflects globalization spells the end for French autofiction, writes Niels Planel. [more]
May '68: a contested history
Despite the tendency of decennial commemorations to cement the "official version" of May '68, important questions remain unanswered. Chris Reynolds points out some blind spots in the increasingly stereotyped interpretation of the events in France forty years ago. [more]
Controlling words
Press and publishing concentration in France is exceptionally high yet there is barely any protest from within the sector itself. Media monopolization is by no means only a French issue, however: throughout Europe and the US, profit has become publishing's bottom line. [more]
Violence and history
Violence is a relationship, not a "thing"; nor does it submit to typologies. Nevertheless, that does not mean that violence cannot be studied and its present-day occurrences located, writes Gérard Wormser. The exercise of imagined history is probably one of the best antidotes to violence. [more]
