Descrição
Resumo:This issue of Études britanniques contemporaines emanates from contributions to a workshop of the Société d’Études Anglaises Contemporaines (SEAC) at the 2023 conference of the Société des Anglicistes de l’Enseignement Supérieur in Rennes. The conference revolved around the notion of transmission and gave contributors the opportunity to probe the polysemic dimensions of this concept in British literature and culture of the 20th and 21st centuries. This introduction examines transmission through the lens of intergenerational legacy and inheritance, literary and aesthetic filiations and transfers, contagion and contamination, memory and history, and identifies the potential obstacles to transmission and ways to circumvent them.
