Amazon.com description: Product Description: Discussions of French âidentityâ have frequently emphasised the importance of a highly centralised Republican model inherited from the Revolution. In reality, however, France also has a rich heritage of diversity that has often found expression in contingent sub-cultures marked by marginalisation and otherness - whether social, religious, gendered, sexual, linguistic or ethnic. This range of sub-cultures and variety of ways of thinking the âotherâ underlines the fact that ânormsâ can only exist by the concomitant existence of difference(s). The essays in this collection, which derive from the conference âAlienation and Alterity: Otherness in Modern and Contemporary Francophone Contextsâ, held at the University of Exeter in September 2007, explore various aspects of this diversity in French and Francophone literature, culture, and cinema from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The contributions demonstrate that while alienation (from a cultural ânormâ and also from oneself) can certainly be painful and problematic, it is also a privileged position which allows the âétrangerâ to consider the world and his/her relationship to it in an âotherâ way.
