Possessions emerges from the fifth Cambridge French Graduate
Conference, which took place in 2001. The theme has provoked a
broad scope of investigation, covering French literature, film and
theory, and ranging from the early medieval period to the present
day. Despite the lack of attention which has so far been explicitly
devoted to the idea of possession, it is shown to be an
ever-present concern, and this volume seeks to fill this critical
blind spot. The essays confront the central notion on several
levels, tackling issues of authorship and ownership,
postcolonialism, gender, and the potential trauma implicated in
possession. The juxtaposition of different media, periods and
critical schools allows common links to emerge, demonstrating ways
in which possession acts as both problem and enabling notion. As a
stimulating and original investigation into an under-explored area
of critical thinking, the volume offers a critical examination of
the possessing power of the text.
