This volume explores the political life of rage as it has been experienced and mobilized in the Francosphere since 1968. If mai is remembered as a failure to convert insurrectionary feeling into lasting political change, the vast number of activist groups who have alchemized their anger into resistance over the past fifty years are a testament to the continued, necessary role of rage in political life.This volume traces the various morphologies of anger across French-language literature, thought, cinema and activism. From Black feminisms to punk, flamboyance to suicide, cacophonous sound to riotous song, the contributions probe the aesthetics and politics of rage. This collection also examines the uneven legitimization of political anger - how rage is allowed to be expressed, by whom and in which contexts. Rage is often dismissed as inimical to proper academic inquiry: what unites the contributions in this publication is a commitment to thinking with feeling.

This study is the first full-length discussion of Le Labyrinthe du monde by Marguerite Yourcenar along environmental lines. Her most ambitious undertaking, the three-volume work, composed over a decade and a half, was written by the first académicienne more than twenty years after Mémoires d¿Hadrien. The study draws extensively on the rich reserves of Yourcenar scholarship as well as on environmental humanities. The result is a review of a broad set of considerations of time, place and interconnectedness. While Yourcenar¿s text engages often in detail and certainly in depth with her parents and their forebears, this study seeks to show how, through its loose-limbed, quasi-plot structure, the author proffers her extensive genealogical heritage as a way of reading and understanding the global and the modern. Yourcenar emerges as an insightful and deeply reflective writer with an important contemporary message, responsive to the urgent environmental concerns of the present day.
