Spanish and Latin American women writers in the literary canon: a paratextual study of anthologies of fantastic literature (1946-2016)
While it is evident that there are outstanding women authors of the fantastic in Spain and Latin America since the nineteenth century, it is not as clear whether these writers are fairly represented in the corpus available to readers. To what extent are women authors part of the fantastic canon? Are there female reference points for new generations of women writers? To explore processes of canon formation in the literature of the fantastic from a feminist perspective, this article gathers paratexts from 110 anthologies. Employing a quantitative approach with regard to indexed authors, the first section addresses specific questions related to gender and the fantastic in the Hispanic context by analysing statistical data. The empirical study is complemented by an analysis of how the female author is presented and constructed through the discourse in introductions, forewords and other paratextual materials of these anthologies

Europe : le mythe comme métaphore
Le mythe est, essentiellement, un dĂ©placement, une mĂ©taphore, une traduction, une parole qui signifie « emportĂ© dâun lieu Ă un autre ». Les mythes sont transformĂ©s, altĂ©rĂ©s, renouvelĂ©s pour correspondre aux besoins dâun temps et dâun lieu. Ils restent nĂ©anmoins eux-mĂȘmes, nâĂ©tant pas crĂ©Ă©s en tant que fabrications de lâimagination humaine mais comme des manifestations concrĂštes de certaines intuitions primordiales. Pour inaugurer la chaire annuelle Lâinvention de lâEurope par les langues et les cultures du CollĂšge de France, crĂ©Ă©e en partenariat avec le ministĂšre de la Culture, Alberto Manguel analyse dans lâespace et le temps le mythe dâEurope, dont le contenu pourrait constituer la pierre de touche qui donne aux peuples europĂ©ens une identitĂ© commune intuitive
