Mark Andrew Hall, Assistant Professor of French, recently published an essay, “A Space in Time:  The Experience of Difference in Segalen’s Stèles,” in the September issue (15.4) of Contemporary French and Francophone Studies

The essay examines the figure of prosopopoeia, or speaking to the reader as or through another object, in the French poet Victor Segalen’s Stèles, a collection of poems inspired by ancient Chinese monument stone inscriptions published in 1912.  Through close readings of the poems, the essay reveals one of the most deliberate rhetorical expressions of Segalen’s “aesthetics of Diversity,” a theory of interpersonal space and cultural difference originally sketched out in his planned but never fully completed “Essay on Exoticism.”
