| Résumé: | This first section examines the “affiliation” of French Americanist researchers to their field of study at a time of unprecedented political crisis—one that compels us to rethink our critical position toward our research objects. Mathieu Duplay offers an epistemic reflection on affiliation as a “kind of adoption,” seeking in this distance an ethical path between commitment and critical detachment, while Jon Delogu highlights the freedom that the French researchers’ position grants them to uphold a certain idea of America. In a related vein, Karine Bligny and Véronique Béghain celebrate the space of freedom represented by the RFEA as a place for epistemological cross-fertilization, examined from the perspective of intermediality between African American literature and music, and from a translation studies viewpoint. |
