In this same pamphlet, she envisaged the rewriting of the Literature Canon as a necessary rupture from the past (&#8220;we need to know the writing of the past, and know it differently than we have ever known it; not to pass on a tradition but to break its hold over us.&#8221;) Rich was referencing a long tradition of masculin texts she had herself worked to &#8220;re-view&#8221; in her poems by using the famous works of Yeats, Wordsworth or William Blake for example, as critical metatextual commentaries. For her, &#8220;re-viewing&#8221; did not simply consist in a &#8220;transposition&#8221; or a &#8220;textual permutation&#8221; (to use the formulations of Julia Kristeva&#8217;s attempt to define intertextuality in <em>La R\u00e9volution du langage po\u00e9tique<\/em> or in <em>S\u00e9m\u00e9iotik\u00e8<\/em>). It was not either a purely recreational, postmodern endeavour. With the same ambition for stylistic creativity, Rich saw rewriting first and foremost as a political act. Since the 1970s, other women writers have undertaken this re-reading, re-interpretation and re-writing of canonic texts, whether in Great-Britain (Angela Carter) or in the United States, where minority authors play with the double literary tradition (male and western) to counter it with their own double discourse (female and ethnic), for aesthetic and political purposes. Rewriting of the &#8220;master\u2019s discourse&#8221; echoes the African American art of &#8220;Signifying&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Presenters will attempt, through detailed text analyses, to apprehend the various forms of rewriting, the specific relation between the hypertext and the hypotext, and the levels at which they operate. One question of interest is whether, like for Rich, rewriting necessarily implies a break from the old order or if, in certain cases, there is a form of continuity.<\/p>\n<h6>Programme<\/h6>\n<h6>FRIDAY JUNE 1<\/h6>\n<p><strong>(Salle des colloques \u2013 Buiding K 1st floor)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 9:15 &#8211; Greetings and Introduction by <strong>Emily Eells<\/strong>, director of the CREA<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>9:30 -10:30<br \/>\nKeynote Conference <strong>Jack Zipes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Professor at the University of Minnesota [[Jack Zipes, author of many books on the rewriting of fairty tales, including <em>Breaking the Magic Spell: Radical Theories of Folk and Fairy Tales<\/em> (1979) ; <em>Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion<\/em> (1983) ; <em>The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Riding Hood<\/em> (1983) ; <em>Don\u2019t Bet on the Prince: Contemporary Feminist Fairy Tales in North America and England<\/em> (1986) ; <em>Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales, Children and the Culture Industry<\/em> (1997) ; <em>The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales<\/em> (2003) ; <em>Hans Christian Andersen : The Misunderstood Storyteller<\/em> (2005) ; <em>The Norton Anthology of Children\u2019s Literature<\/em> (2005) ; <em>Why Fairy Tales Stick: The Evolution and Relevance of a Genre<\/em> (2006)]]<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnd Nobody Lives Happily Ever After: The Feminist Fairy Tale after Fighting Forty Years for Survival\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8211; 10:30 -11 Break<\/p>\n<p><strong>11-12:30 &#8211; PANELS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><em>BRITISH LIT (salle des colloques)<\/em>&#8211; Chair: Claire Bazin<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 11-11:30 <strong>Anne Chassagnol<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 Paris X-Nanterre) : \u00ab Pages d\u2019\u00e9criture, art de la r\u00e9\u00e9criture : le conte lu, vu, relu et revu par R.
