Introduction
There is an inherent futurity to each and every poetic act, a fact that does not gainsay the possibility of poetry’s fruitful engagement with its own, and myriad other literary and non-literary, pasts. Whether one encounters the polyphonic expansive localities of Alice Oswald’s Dart, the recollected privacies of Jane Clarke’s The River, or the ecopoetic range of Moya Cannon’s Collected Poems, there are bracing lyrical interminglings of pasts, presents and futures. Such temporal arrangements ...

Paul Maddern’s 2021 anthology Queering the Green: Post-2000 Queer Irish Poetry signals a rise in the visibility of queer poetics in Ireland. This paper focuses on the work of one contributor to the anthology, Belfast poet Padraig Regan, who invigorates representations of ecological encounter to question the efficacy of the lyric’s potentially egoistic gaze. Regan’s poetry promotes a feel for ecological and social spaces of co-habitation by fostering a solidarity through tactility and mutual affiliation. The poems in Some Integrity (2022) begin from a position of scepticism about the boundaries between speaker and subject to privilege instead a sense of touch rooted in reciprocal contact and proximity. Ultimately, through a method of ontological negation, Regan’s work offers readers a richly embodied queer poetics that the poet calls “eroto-geography”.
L’anthologie de Paul Maddern, Queering the Green : Post-2000 Queer Irish Poetry (2021), reflète une visibilité accrue de la poésie irlandaise queer. Cet article porte sur l’œuvre de l’un des contributeurs à l’anthologie, Padraig Regan, poète de Belfast qui dynamise les représentations de rencontres écologiques afin de questionner l’efficacité du regard potentiellement égoïste du vers. La poésie de Regan met en avant un sens des espaces de cohabitation écologiques et sociaux en cultivant une solidarité à travers la tactilité et l’affiliation mutuelle. Les poèmes de son recueil Some Integrity (2002) partent d’une position de scepticisme quant aux limites entre locuteur et sujet, afin de privilégier un sens du toucher ancré dans le contact réciproque et la proximité. Au bout du compte, l’œuvre de Regan offre au lecteur une poétique queer richement incarnée que le poète appelle « éroto-géographie ».

Confederate Agency of Things: Maurice Scully’s Tig

The essay argues that Maurice Scully’s Tig, the concluding volume in his Things That Happen project, represents what Jane Bennett has termed confederate or distributive agency, whereby the material world, both animate and inanimate, becomes agentive through its capacity of expression. Semiotically active, things reveal a vitality and expressiveness that classic humanism regarded as solely a feature of humans. Scully’s formal experiments, discussed under the rubric of what Derek Attridge terms “the creation of the other”, offer particularly apt instantiations of the capacity of things to participate in textual production. One of the most fruitful ways of reading Scully’s work is through attending to how he shifts emphasis from the poetic self as the centre of expression onto the material world, which in his poems becomes a space of tensions between an order and its perpetual dispersal, a space best understood following Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s idea of the rhizome.
Tig, le dernier volume du projet Things That Happen de Maurice Scully, représente ce que Jane Bennett a appelé l’agentivité confédérée, par laquelle le monde matériel, tant animé qu’inanimé, acquiert une agentivité par sa capacité d’expression. Actives sur le plan sémiotique, les choses révèlent une vitalité et une expressivité que l’humanisme classique considère comme limitée aux humains. Les expériences formelles de Scully, étudiées ici à l’aune de ce que Derek Attridge nomme « la création de l’autre », offrent des instances particulièrement intéressantes de la capacité des choses à participer à une production textuelle. L’une des manières les plus enrichissantes de lire l’œuvre de Scully est de prêter attention à la façon dont il déplace l’accent depuis le soi poétique en tant que centre d’expression vers le monde matériel qui, dans ses poèmes, devient un espace où l’ordre et sa dispersion perpétuelle sont en tension, espace que la notion de rhizome de Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari éclaire de manière particulièrement utile.

The inhospitability of the lyric mode to marginal and dissenting perspectives means Irish poetry has always found subversive ways of witnessing violence. Some recent Irish poetry locates resistance in formal innovation, as a means of bearing witness to acts of institutional, racial and structural violence that disfigure Irish society. As Carolyn Forché observes in Poetry of Witness, this aesthetic is often sited in the social sphere, between the personal and political, and seeks radical representative techniques to recentre those who have been subjected to processes of erasure through violence. Kimberly Campanello’s MOTHERBABYHOME, FELISPEAKS’s Dubh, Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi’s “Exile” and Cherry Smyth’s Famished are studied to outline the powerful forms of resistance at work in innovative Irish poetry. The article explores the ideological and political implications inherent in the ethics of poetic witness that indict the state and its apparatuses.
Le mode lyrique n’offrant guère d’espace aux perspectives marginales et dissidentes, la poésie irlandaise a toujours trouvé des moyens subversifs pour témoigner de la violence. Certaines œuvres récentes situent la résistance dans l’innovation formelle, comme moyen de rendre témoignage d’actes de violence institutionnelle, raciste et structurelle qui défigurent la société irlandaise. Comme Carolyn Forché le note dans Poetry of Witness, cette esthétique est souvent située dans la sphère sociale, entre le personnel et le politique, et cherche des techniques de représentation radicales pour recentrer ceux soumis à des procédés d’invisibilisation par la violence. MOTHERBABYHOME de Kimberly Campanello, Dubh de FELISPEAKS, « Exile » de Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi et Famished de Cherry Smyth sont étudiés afin d’esquisser les contours des formes de résistance à l’œuvre dans la poésie irlandaise innovante. L’article explore les implications idéologiques et politiques inhérentes à l’éthique d’un témoignage poétique qui condamne l’État et ses instruments.

The article focuses on Michael Coady’s life-work as offering a sustained, lived witness to Patrick Kavanagh’s principle that the local is our portal to universal meaning. It examines themes including the relationship between transcendence and the quotidian in Coady; the role of orality and shared creativity in his poetics along with his use of hybrid genre and multi-media; Coady’s challenge to binary thinking in Irish cultural debate involving his resistance to patriarchal provincialism; and his interest in open-ended destiny. The overall purpose of the essay is to explore Coady’s poetics of the local (extra)ordinary, contextualising this aesthetic priority in relation to the literary politics informing his reception.
L’œuvre de Michael Coady est abordée en tant que témoignage vécu du principe de Patrick Kavanagh selon lequel le local est notre porte d’entrée vers le sens et l’universel. Plusieurs thématiques sont étudiées, telles que la relation entre la transcendance et le quotidien chez Coady ; le rôle de l’oralité et de la créativité partagée dans sa poétique, caractérisée par l’utilisation de genres hybrides et du multimédia ; le défi lancé par Coady aux approches binaires dans le débat culturel irlandais, à travers son opposition au provincialisme patriarcal ; et son intérêt pour les destins ouverts. Il s’agit d’explorer la poétique de Coady dans l’(extra)ordinaire local, en contextualisant cette priorité esthétique par rapport à la politique littéraire qui structure sa réception.

In this essay, I consider the sentence within the dynamics of poetic form and investigate how several Irish poets have maintained conventional sentence structures, abandoned them, deconstructed their logics, reconfigured their internal structures, or made them move outside of the usual bounds of grammar and syntax. In readings of poems by William Butler Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Sinéad Morrissey, and Catherine Walsh, I demonstrate the complex work that sentences perform in poems.
Dans cet essai, je considère la phrase dans la dynamique de la forme poétique et j’examine comment plusieurs poètes irlandais ont maintenu des structures de phrase conventionnelles, les ont abandonnées, ont déconstruit leur logique, reconfiguré leurs structures internes ou les ont fait sortir des limites habituelles de la grammaire et de la syntaxe. À travers les lectures de poèmes de William Butler Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Sinéad Morrissey et Catherine Walsh, je démontre le travail complexe que les phrases accomplissent dans les poèmes.

Long recognised as a significant voice in modern Irish literature, Seán Ó Ríordáin’s (1916-1977) understanding of poetics is famously complex. Beginning with his early explication of the creative process in the foreword to his first collection, Eireaball Spideoige (1952), over the following decades Ó Ríordáin continued to develop a distinct metaphorical vocabulary for describing composition, drawing on the language of religious worship, philosophy and anthropology. An important but understudied part of this vocabulary concerns the basic dyad of dirty / clean and what are, for Ó Ríordáin, related concepts: diseased / healthy, polluted / pure, secular / sacred. I argue that negotiations of these ideas, often brought to bear on the figure of the human body, are central to the poet’s understanding of his own craft.
Reconnu depuis longtemps comme une voix importante de la littérature irlandaise moderne, Seán Ó Ríordáin (1916-1977) est célèbre pour la complexité de son approche de la poésie. Après avoir expliqué le processus créatif dans la préface de son premier recueil, Eireaball Spideoige (1952), Ó Ríordáin a continué pendant les décennies suivantes à développer un vocabulaire métaphorique distinct visant à décrire la composition, s’appuyant sur le langage du culte religieux, de la philosophie et de l’anthropologie. Un aspect important mais sous-étudié de ce vocabulaire est constitué de la dyade de base entre le sale et le propre, ainsi que des notions qui lui sont liées selon Ó Ríordáin : malade / sain, pollué / pur, séculier / sacré. On peut penser que la négociation de ces idées, souvent appliquées au corps humain, est essentielle à la compréhension que le poète a de son propre art.

This article examines Micheal O’Siadhail’s 2018 collection The Five Quintets. It offers a placement of this collection as inheriting the grand modernist narratives that poets like T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound set out in The Waste Land, Four Quartets and The Cantos. O’Siadhail’s complex poetic, thematic and stanzaic structures are examined, as are the detailed and expansive range of thinkers and writers who appear in his work. Each of the five quintets is divided into five canti, which are then further broken down in sections, with each written in a different form. In each quintet, we meet a series of personages from the last several hundred years in art, music, literature (“Making”), commerce and economics (“Dealing”), politics and governance (“Steering”), science and mathematics (“Finding”), and theology (“Meaning”).
Cet article propose une étude du recueil de Micheal O’Siadhail, The Five Quintets (2018), dans la lignée des grands narratifs modernistes établis par T. S. Eliot et Ezra Pound dans The Waste Land, Four Quartets et The Cantos. La poétique complexe d’O’Siadhail est analysée, tout comme ses structures thématiques et formelles, ainsi que la large palette de penseurs et d’auteurs qui apparaissent dans son œuvre. Chaque quintette est divisé en cinq chants, à leur tour divisés en sections, chacune écrite dans une forme différente. Par ailleurs, chaque quintette fait apparaître une série de personnages de ces derniers siècles, dans les domaines de l’art, de la musique, de la littérature (« Making »), du commerce et de l’économie (« Dealing »), de la politique et du gouvernement (« Steering »), des sciences et des mathématiques (« Finding »), ou encore de la théologie (« Meaning »).

In “Turn Again”, his poetic “guide” to Belfast and its poetry, Ciaran Carson writes that “Today’s plan is already yesterday’s – the streets that were there are gone”. This essay explores how Carson follows his own advice and how his poetics of rambling have inspired two younger Belfast poets, Alan Gillis and Padraig Regan. All three foreground walking and movement through urban spaces as a powerful literary trope and an effective tool of social criticism. Their anachronistically male or emphatically other personae guide us to the parallel city found between “observation and invention” (Gillis), which corresponds with Walter Benjamin’s notion of the Parisian arcades as a place in which layers of time, space and consciousness coalesce. Tracing trajectories of mutual influencing between three generations of Northern Irish poets can help us appreciate the collapsed hierarchy of time in a society that always threatens to relapse into its earlier confusion.
Dans « Turn Again », son « guide » poétique de Belfast et de sa poésie, Ciaran Carson écrit que « le plan d’aujourd’hui est déjà celui d’hier – les rues qui étaient là ont disparu ». Cet article explore la façon dont Carson suit son propre conseil, et s’interroge sur la manière dont sa poétique de la flânerie a inspiré deux jeunes poètes de Belfast, Alan Gillis et Padraig Regan. Tous trois mettent en avant la marche et les déplacements dans les espaces urbains comme un puissant trope littéraire et un outil efficace de critique sociale. Leurs personnages anachroniquement masculins ou emphatiquement autres nous guident vers la ville parallèle trouvée entre « l’observation et l’invention » (Gillis), qui correspond aux arcades parisiennes chez Walter Benjamin : un lieu dans lequel les couches de temps, d’espace et de conscience se fondent. Tracer des trajectoires d’influence mutuelle entre trois générations de poètes nord-irlandais peut nous aider à apprécier l’effondrement de la hiérarchie du temps dans une société qui risque toujours de retomber dans sa confusion antérieure.

The essay focuses on the “anthropocene poetics” of the Irish poet, Ciaran Berry. A selection of poems from Berry’s first two collections are addressed: “For the Birds” and “Electrocuting an Elephant” from The Sphere of Birds (2008), and “The Dead Zoo”, “Darwin in the Galapagos” and “Polar Bear” from The Dead Zoo (2013). Those works are read in terms of their poetic engagement with what David Farrier terms “anthropocene poetics”, a poetics that meditates upon historical “deep time”, evolutionary histories, and extinction. Such a “poetics of the Anthropocene”, in Farrier’s estimation, “can help us to appreciate in new ways what it means to live enfolded by deep time”. Tallying with James Longenbach, attention is devoted to the politics and the ethics of poetic form. Our readings also attend to the nature of human / non-human kinship relations as they are refracted to the formal patterns of the poetry.
L’article porte sur ce que l’on peut considérer comme la « poétique anthropocène » du poète irlandais Ciaran Berry, représentée ici par une sélection de poèmes de ses deux premiers recueils : « For the Birds » et « Electrocuting an Elephant » parus dans The Sphere of Birds (2008), et « The Dead Zoo », « Darwin in the Galapagos » et « Polar Bear », tirés de The Dead Zoo (2013). Ils sont étudiés à l’aune du traitement poétique de ce que David Farrier appelle la « poétique anthropocène », caractérisée par son intérêt pour le « temps profond » de l’histoire, les histoires évolutionnaires, et l’extinction. Selon Farrier, une telle « poétique de l’Anthropocène peut nous aider à mieux apprécier ce que signifie vivre au sein du temps long ». Dans la veine de James Longenbach, une attention particulière est accordée à la politique et l’éthique de la forme poétique. L’analyse s’attache également à la nature des relations entre humain et non-humain telle que réfractées dans les modèles formels de la poésie.

In recent years there has been a significant rise in the publication of Irish documentary poetry, and an increased number of poets engaging with archival materials as part of their creative practice. This is linked to state commemoration processes and the light these have shed on questions of inclusion and remembrance. Archives play an important role in mediating challenging episodes in our history, and in affording space to the marginalised. In this essay I will focus on the systematic exclusion of the experiences of women from national narratives, and the subsequent erasure of their voices from both commemoration of, and creative engagement with, the past. In different ways, Julie Morrissy’s Radical!: Women and the Irish Revolution and Vona Groarke’s Hereafter: The Telling Life of Ellen O’Hara explore archival materials and their role in helping to re-imagine the lives of previous generations of Irish women.
La publication de poèmes documentaires irlandais s’est considérablement développée ces dernières années et un nombre croissant de poètes s’inspirent de documents d’archives dans leurs démarches créatives. Ce phénomène tient en partie aux pratiques commémoratives officielles et aux questions d’inclusion et de mémoire qu’elles soulèvent. Il est opportun dès lors de réfléchir à l’importance des archives en tant que moyens de médiation d’épisodes difficiles de l’histoire irlandaise, ainsi que d’accueil de personnes marginalisées. L’article met en évidence l’exclusion systématique de l’expérience des femmes dans les narratifs nationaux irlandais, et la suppression de leurs voix à la fois dans la commémoration du passé et dans sa recréation artistique. Julie Morrissy dans Radical ! : Women and the Irish Revolution et Vona Groarke avec Hereafter : The Telling Life of Ellen O’Hara explorent chacune à sa manière les documents d’archives et leur utilité pour réimaginer les vies de femmes irlandaises des générations précédentes.

Anjili Babbar, Finders: Justice, Faith, and Identity in Irish Crime Fiction
In a recent interview, Anjili Babbar declared:Some of the grittiest, most socially relevant crime fiction is currently coming out of Ireland, which I think is fascinating because the genre didn’t really take off there until the twenty-first century. I wanted to explore this late renaissance – what caused it, and how it paved the way for a novel, idiosyncratic approach to the genre.That is precisely what her book deals with. It explores recent Irish crime fiction trying to identify and accoun...

Seamus O’Malley, Irish Culture and “The People” : Populism and Its Discontents
Dans Irish Culture and “The People” : Populism and Its Discontents, Seamus O’Malley montre la manière dont le populisme a influencé la culture politique et littéraire en Irlande et a poussé certains auteurs à se réinventer, quitte parfois à se perdre dans les méandres d’un concept tellement étiré que ses contours deviennent flous. Pour O’Malley, les périodes où l’Irlande a avancé sur le chemin de son indépendance et de son émancipation se sont caractérisées par un épanouissement du discours ...

Timothy O’Grady, Kenneth Griffith, Curious Journey. The IRA and Cumann na mBan, 1916-1923
The title for Curious Journey can be said to refer both to Ireland’s fight for freedom and to its own publishing journey, marked by censorship. The book received little coverage when it was first published in 1982; it also includes testimonies collected in the 1970s in the hope to make a film, which was not shown. When it was republished in 1998, the book did not get much attention in Britain or Ireland, except for a few negative comments on the foreignness of the co-authors – novelist Timot...

Pauline Collombier, Imagining Ireland’s Future, 1870-1914: Home Rule, Utopia, Dystopia
The issue of home rule occupied a significant amount of political time in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From the early 1880s, demand for home rule for Ireland became the backbone of the Irish Parliamentary Party led by Charles Stewart Parnell, and later by John Redmond. The endorsement of home rule as party policy by William E. Gladstone caused a major split within the Liberal Party in the spring of 1886; the prospect of home rule brought about an articulate a...

On the Tracks of Ujamaa: Vestiges and Memories in a Former Socialist Village in Southern Tanzania
In 1967, Tanzania was a “poor and heterogenous country suffering from instability worsened by almost a century of colonialism, first by the Germans, and then by the British” (Martin 1988, 26). That same year, it set out on an economic and social development path that deeply transformed its historical trajectory: Ujamaa, in Kiswahili, or “African socialism” in its official English translation. The “Tanzanian experiment” of socialism (Lonsdale 1968) led to extensive academic literature. Some o...

This article presents a discussion on the reappropriation of benga musical style by the Akamba musicians, in the postcolonial period in Kenya. It analyses how ideas of the benga genre spread from Nyanza Province in Western Kenya thanks to its diffusion through the increased mobility of the Luo benga music pioneers, and its popularity with Nairobi audiences. This paper argues that Akamba musicians, often groomed in the village religious choirs, were attracted to benga music, and began to adopt it, fusing it with elements of previous musical styles, in innovative ways which contributed to its renaissance in Machakos, Makueni and Kitui areas of the Ukambani region. Sources for this paper were based on in-depth interviews with selected Akamba benga musicians. The findings of this research establish that the process of transformative reappropriation of benga music in Ukambani took place in local settings, and suggests that the influence of foreign genres was not determining. Specifically, this discussion revisits the history of the benga music genre in Kenya, by adopting a micro-social history perspective to explain how this reappropriation was possible, and how it occurred.

Parmi les principaux amendements introduits dans le Code électoral de mai 2019, figure celui du statut et des conditions sous lesquels doivent se faire élire les candidats indépendants. La suppression des listes des indépendants que le législateur a qualifiées de « coalitions des indépendants » change la donne politique. Le candidat indépendant doit désormais se présenter individuellement pour affronter une liste présentée par les partis politiques aux élections législatives. Cet article se propose d’analyser les conditions et les motifs qui ont présidé à la mise en place de ces dispositions discriminatoires - c’est-à-dire inéquitables envers les candidats indépendants - et leurs liens par rapport aux autres textes de lois nationaux et internationaux. Enfin, eu égard aux valeurs fondamentales de la démocratie, cet article analyse également les conséquences que cette forme de discrimination occasionne sur l’ensemble de la compétition électorale.
Among the main amendments introduced in the electoral code of May 2019 is that of the statute and the conditions under which independent candidates must be elected. The abolition of the lists of independents that the legislator has qualified as coalitions of independents changes everything. Henceforth, the independent candidate must stand individually to face a list presented by the political parties for the legislative elections. This article then aims to analyze the conditions and reasons which governed the establishment of this type of discriminatory provisions ; that is to say unfair and inequitable, towards independent candidates and their links to other national and international laws. Finally, with regard to the fundamental values of democracy, this article also analyzes the consequences that this form of discrimination has on the whole of electoral competition.

Kigali
East Africa
Kigali fait partie des villes d’Afrique de l’Est ayant connu une évolution spatiale et physique rapide à partir des années 2010. L’artificialisation des terres progresse au détriment des espaces boisés à cause de la densification du bâti et des routes bitumées ou pavées. Ces dynamiques urbaines contribuent au développement des îlots de chaleur. La littérature scientifique positionne les îlots de chaleur comme un enjeu environnemental et sociétal important à cause des impacts sur la santé humaine. Très peu d’études sont cependant menées à l’échelle des villes africaines afin d’identifier et d’étudier ce phénomène dans les politiques et l’aménagement urbains. Le premier objectif de cet article est d’analyser, avec un recul temporel de trois décennies, l’extension urbaine de la ville de Kigali et ses conséquences sur l’évolution des températures de surface. Le deuxième objectif est d’identifier les quartiers les plus concernés par les îlots de chaleur. Nous analysons l’évolution de la tâche urbaine à partir des informations extraites d’images satellitaires (Landsat) de 1984, 2010 et 2021. Des données sur les températures de surface ont été dérivées de ces images. Des données de températures journalières de l’air sur la période 1984-2018 ont également été utilisées afin d’explorer les tendances des conditions thermiques et des îlots de chaleur urbains. Le travail repose également sur des observations de terrain et l’analyse de documents d’archives (photographies et textes sur l’histoire récente archivés à la bibliothèque publique de la ville de Kigali). Les résultats révèlent que l’évolution spatio-temporelle des surfaces chaudes suit la même trajectoire que l’extension de la tâche urbaine, du centre historique vers les limites est et sud de la ville. Même si Kigali est toujours considérée comme une ville verte, grâce à la présence de nombreux espaces boisés et de quelques reliques forestières, certains quartiers, notamment le centre-ville et Remera, très minéralisés, sont presque dépourvus de végétation et apparaissent comme des îlots de chaleur. Les températures journalières minimales de l’air au centre-ville sont toujours plus élevées que celles observées à l’aéroport international de Kigali, situé en périphérie de la ville. Ces différences peuvent atteindre 1,5 °C au cours des années exceptionnelles, comme en 1998, confirmant le développement d’un îlot de chaleur urbain à Kigali. Cet îlot de chaleur pourrait s’amplifier dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique actuel. L’identification et le suivi des surfaces chaudes peuvent être un outil des politiques d’aménagement urbain et de santé publique, notamment par la création d’îlots de fraîcheur et la sensibilisation des populations exposées.
Abstract: Kigali is one of the East African cities that have experienced rapid spatial and physical change since the 2010s. Land artificialisation is progressing to the detriment of wooded areas due to the densification of buildings and asphalted or paved roads. These urban dynamics contribute to the development of heat islands. The academic literature identifies heat islands as an important environmental and societal issue because of their impacts on human health. However, very few studies have been conducted at the scale of African cities to identify and explain this phenomenon in urban planning and management. The first objective of this article is to analyse the urban expansion of the city of Kigali and its consequences on the evolution of surface temperatures, during the last three decades. The second objective is to identify the areas most affected by heat islands within the urban part of the City of Kigali. We analyse the evolution of the urban area based on information extracted from satellite images (Landsat) of 1984, 2010 and 2021. Surface temperature data were derived from these images. Daily air temperature data over the period 1984-2018 have also been used to explore trends in thermal conditions and urban heat islands. The work is also based on field observations and analysis of existing documents (photographs and texts on recent history archived at the Kigali City Public Library). The results reveal that the spatiotemporal evolution of hot surfaces follows the same trajectory as the extension of the urban area, from the historical centre towards the eastern and southern boundaries of the city. Although Kigali is still considered as a green city, thanks to the presence of many wooded areas and some remnant forest, some neighbourhoods, notably the city centre and Remera, which are highly mineralised, are almost devoid of vegetation and appear as heat islands. The minimum daily air temperatures in the city centre are always higher than those observed at Kigali International Airport, located on the outskirts of the city. These differences can reach 1.5°C in exceptional years, such as 1998, confirming the development of an urban heat island in Kigali. This heat island could increase in the context of the current global warming. The identification and monitoring of hot surfaces can be a tool for urban planning and public health policies, in particular by creating cool islands and raising the awareness of exposed populations.

The hongbao is a monetary gift given during Chinese New Year and other occasions. In 2015, WeChat introduced its electronic version in China. This has altered its original and ritualistic meaning, which is linked to a conception of the world characterised by filial piety, benevolence, and social harmony. Here the red packet is seen as a connector linking the generations, and also the individual to the community. The money inserted in the red packet symbolises these relationships, as well as the debt of life that can never be reimbursed. Hence, the amount is symbolic. The time-space compression that allowed for the introduction of the e-hongbao has changed this meaning, and the WeChat app can be analysed as a mediator that links the sender and the receiver. This blurs the meaning of the hongbao, linking it to economic practices and highlighting the individualisation of Chinese society.

This paper examines literary and cinematic representations of ethnic frontiers in China in the 1980s to illustrate how they serve to express intellectuals’ different views of China’s sociopolitical condition, especially ultra-leftist history and the burgeoning market economy. Works under examination include Zhang Nuanxin’s Sacrificed Youth, Bai Hua’s The Remote Country of Women, Tashi Dawa’s “A Soul in Bondage,” Tian Zhuangzhuang’s The Horse Thief, and Zhang Chengzhi’s The Black Steed. These different discourses of ethnic frontiers contest with each other, reflecting intellectuals’ disagreement over how to understand China’s past, present, and future.

higher education expansion
“one country
two systems”
Tertiary education in the Chinese mainland has undergone unprecedented expansion since 1999, whereas the most recent expansion in Hong Kong was announced in 2000. Confucian philosophy, prevalent among ethnic Chinese, suggests that education is a fair qualification for selecting elites for high-paid jobs. However, economic structures and popular cultures differ considerably. This article examines the economic returns of a rapid expansion of higher education in two areas, Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, with different economic systems but the same cultural heritage, i.e., the Confucian philosophy and its work culture. The results support the view that the declining quality of university graduates is the prime reason for shrinking earnings premium in both systems. The governments should revisit the policies of higher education development and shift the emphasis from quantity to quality, and quality assurance in particular. There is a global trend to establish a quality assurance framework to oversee higher education, and a similar development is observed in the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong.

MANNING, Kimberley. 2023. The Party Family: Revolutionary Attachments and the Gendered Origins of State Power in China. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.
Far from the centres of power, how is a revolution felt? Kimberley Manning’s intriguing study of state power in China posits that shortly before and after the 1949 revolution, it was felt, and enacted, through family ties. The Party Family tells two intertwining stories. The first shows how a network of elite women, most of them wives or widows of prominent political leaders, promoted what Manning calls maternalist policies, emphasising motherhood, women’s domestic role, and reproductive hea...

HONG FINCHER, Leta. 2023. Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China (fully updated 10th anniversary edition). London: Bloomsbury.
Leta Hong Fincher’s pathbreaking analysis (2014) of an effectively institutionalised culture of discrimination against women in their late twenties/early thirties who, for one reason or another, found themselves without a husband, became an instant hit with students, journalists, and feminist activists in and outside China when it appeared. In a gender environment that discouraged critical enquiry, its revelations about the extent of legally binding discriminatory practices emboldened countl...

SANTOS, Gonçalo. 2021. Chinese Village Life Today: Building Families in an Age of Transition. Seattle: University of Washington Press.
In six chapters, each focusing on one key aspect of contemporary Chinese rural family life, anthropologist Gonçalo Santos paints a vivid portrait of a village in northern Guangdong. Building on around 20 years of longitudinal ethnographic research (from 1999 to 2020), he attempts to analyse how the social transitions that this rural community has gone through have impacted family dynamics. Santos’s work is intended to add to the literature on Chinese village studies, which goes back to anthr...

LIN, Jean Yen-Chun. 2023. A Spark in the Smokestacks: Environmental Organizing in Beijing Middle-class Communities. New York: Columbia University Press.
I thoroughly enjoyed A Spark in the Smokestacks: Environmental Organizing in Beijing Middle-class Communities by Jean Yen-Chun Lin. Drawing on data collected through online and offline research, the book offers a fluent and vivid account of associational life among the emerging middle class in Beijing. Despite numerous studies on environmental protests in China, Lin contributes significantly to the current literature by systematically tracing the processes and consequences of protests staged...

Mainstreams, Mavericks, Misfits, and Amphibians: On the Mainstreaming, Platformisation, and Re-conventionalisation of the Former Home of Chinese ACGN

The concept of platformisation has been used throughout contemporary Chinese sociology and media studies to explain the process by which emerging local digital platforms facilitate and revolutionise daily life. Scholars have also examined how fans of ACGN (anime, comics, games, and novels) create heterotopias through the development of virtual communities and the departure of online territory from more conventional cultural and heteronormative norms. This article analyses an often-overlooked subject: the mainstreaming, platformisation, and re-conventionalisation of digital platforms and their impact on creative video production and fandom culture. We investigate Bilibili, a video-sharing social media which can be considered as the former home of Chinese ACGN culture, with a particular focus on the current commercial expansion that has seen it deviate from ACGN’s cultural themes. Howard Becker’s (1982) categorisation of innovative creators (mainstreams, mavericks, misfits) and Jones et al. amphibians are utilised to examine the ways in which the various video creators and former ACGN fans have (or have not) adapted to the platform’s commercialisation, mainstreaming, and re-conventionalisation.

Social Networks and Ethnonational Hinges in Hong Kong:A Relational Approach to Ethnonational Identification

Hong Kong
ethnonational identification
group boundaries
race
cultural schemas
Hong Kong is a storied city of dynamic ethnonational identities, with attention growing around a Hongkonger identity purportedly distinct from a Chinese one. Using mixed methods, this article critically appraises the social construction of the Hongkonger identity by adopting a relational approach to ethnonational identification. Multivariate regressions on identity indices in a 2019 citywide survey and qualitative interviews with youth on ethnonational identification cast light on novel interpretive associations drawn between (1) a Hongkonger civic identity and (2) a pan-Chinese racial identity. Rather than being cast into a binary, these two identifications are interlocked in this article in what I will call ethnonational hinges: symbolic hinges through which individuals switch between the two identities to appease dislocated segments of their social networks (nonfamilial and familial ties) with competing worldviews, abetted by a moral cognitive impulse for conformity inculcated in Chinese networking culture.

Beyond the Overlooked Rural Narrative in Chinese Migrant Worker Literature: On Liang Hong’s and Sun Huifen’s works

The focus of literary works about Chinese rural-to-urban migrant workers is often on their urban experience, in which they are mostly portrayed as a socially disadvantaged group and a deviant presence in urban life. The reader less frequently encounters a complementary rural narrative on migrant workers’ experience of their native countryside. This is remarkable, since the countryside holds demonstrable importance for migrant workers, and studying the associated rural narrative is essential for understanding the intricacies and diversity of the migrant worker experience as a whole. By closely reading two literary texts, Liang Hong’s nonfictional China in One Village: The Story of One Town and the Changing World (2010), and Sun Huifen’s novel Jikuan’s Carriage (2007), this paper shows the complex connection between migrant workers and the countryside, adding a key element to our understanding of this much discussed demographic, its literary representations, and of subaltern cultural production in general.

Sin and Punishment: The Art of Churches’ Domination and the Resistance of Apostates

Sinicisation
sin
domination
resistance
apostates
female believers
This paper is a qualitative analysis of the life experiences of three female believers who were punished for their “sins” and eventually left the Church. It reveals how religious power manifests itself through the condemnation of “sins” such as “demonic possession,” “premarital sex,” and “adultery,” as well as the various kinds of resistance strategies among these “apostates.” I argue that fundamentalist Church doctrines are an essential part of the process of Sinicisation of Christianity, embedded as they are in the disciplinary structures of personal life in China, especially mother-daughter relationships, intimate partnerships, and acquaintance societies, which intensify constraints on individuals. In turn, discussions of moral taboos are themselves deeply involved in Chinese society and culture.

Foreword
Dear Readers, The French Centre for Research on Contemporary China is excited to mark the 30th anniversary of its journal with this issue. Founded in 1992 in Hong Kong by Michel Bonnin and Raphaël Jacquet, the CEFC’s journal, Perspectives chinoises, was later joined by its sister journal, China Perspectives, in 1995. In the editorial by Marie Bellot and Justine Rochot, it is noted that both journals have undergone changes over the years, with only the English version of China Perspectives re...
