About the Journal

Relief - Revue électronique de littérature française is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to francophone literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the present day. Relief is published twice a year. The issues are generally thematic in scope, but issues may also include a 'Varia' section as well as book reviews. Relief aims to critically address contemporary issues in literature, both in the realm of creative work and theoretical reflection, as well as the riches of the past and their later reception. We are particularly open to transcultural perspectives and pay special attention to supposedly marginal authors and genres, as well as works in need of rediscovery.

Edited by Aude Jeannerod, Morgane Leray and Olivier Sécardin

Environmental issues are leading to a global reconfiguration of our ways of being and thinking about the world, and this also applies to literary studies. Since every crisis calls for a decision to face the challenge of adaptation, this issue of Relief takes stock of the latest research driving 'environmental humanities' and their didactics: their historicity, their potential, the hopes for renewal they hold out, the interdisciplinary hybridisations they are reinventing and the doubts about their ability to 'repair the world'.
