Cyril Camus
I hold a PhD from the English department of the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès (France). My thesis ( http://www.theses.fr/2012TOU20030 ) and the book adapted from it ( http://www.pur-editions.fr/detail.php?idOuv=4714 ) deal with the interaction of the notions of myth and storytelling, through metafictional allegories and mythological crossovers, adaptations or parodies, in the works of expatriate English novelist, comics writer and screenwriter Neil Gaiman. It particularly focuses on his novel 'American Gods', his comics series 'Sandman', some of his superhero comics (like 'Miracleman: The Golden Age', 'Miracleman: The Silver Age', 'Black Orchid' and 'Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?'), and Robert Zemeckis's film 'Beowulf' (co-scripted by Gaiman and Roger Avary).
I have written articles on Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, comics, music, rewritings of Shakespeare, and British, American and Chinese horror and fantasy, for the French journals 'Otrante', 'Caliban' and 'Miranda', the American journals 'Shofar', 'Studies in the Novel' and 'Utopian Studies', the British journal 'Studies in Comics', the Hong Kong journal 'Cha', and the books 'Mountains Figured and Disfigured in the English-Speaking World' (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2010), 'Visualizing Jewish Narrative' (Bloomsbury, 2016) and 'Travel Writing and Environmental Awareness' (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023), and I have co-edited an issue of 'Caliban' on how current societal and environmental crises, and theories of systemic collapse, are dramatized in fantasy and science fiction.
I also hold a BA in Modern Literature (from the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès), I am a laureate of the “Agrégation” in English, and my first novel, a historical horror novel on the Grand-Guignol Theatre in 1920s Paris, entitled "Sang de boeuf (Bouchers et acteurs)", was published in November 2019 by Les Presses Littéraires.
I taught at the English department of the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès from 2008 to 2012, as an ATER (≈ teaching assistant), and I taught English at Théophile Gautier High School, in Tarbes, for a post-secondary prep course for the admission tests of science and business schools from 2012 to 2016. I now teach English at Ozenne High School in Toulouse, similarly training students for the admission tests of business schools and of the law departement of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure in Rennes. Since January 31, 2013, I have been officially entitled to work as a Maître de conférences (≈ senior lecturer/associate professor) and looking for a Maître de conférences's post.

Papers by Cyril Camus
(The first part was called "Quelques escapades musicales en Bretagne: voyage sans bateau du Donegal aux Highlands et du pays de Galles aux Asturies" (https://journals.openedition.org/miranda/56028), and was published in the previous issue, in autumn 2023.)
Like the first of these "musical strolls" ("Dix jours d'un concert à l'autre à la Nouvelle-Orléans" ( https://journals.openedition.org/miranda/48377 )), it is an experimentation in hybridity between the forms of a research paper (with an apparatus of informative and analytical endnotes based on scientific, journalistic sources, as well as primary sources from the music medium, the video medium, etc.), of more impressionistic criticism, and of a literary text (in the genre of the travel journal/logbook). This time, after New Orleans, the text deals with a musical journey through various places in Brittany, mainly in Lorient, during the town's international Celtic music festival—a journey that took place during the summer of 2023. Unlike the previous one, this second episode of the musical strolls series will itself be published in two parts, the second part being planned for the next issue of Miranda, in spring 2024. The article is, like the rest of the issue, available online at the following address:

This article focuses on the relationship with the environment (sometimes "anthropocentric", sometimes "biocentric" or at least "lococentric" (notions borrowed from US ecocritic Lawrence Buell)), which is developed in two graphic works that American comics author and cartoonist Peter Kuper created about his stay in Mexico from 2006 to 2008: the real-life sketchbook journal "Diario de Oaxaca" (2009), and the fictional graphic novel "Ruins" (2015).
This reflection involves, among other things, an analysis of images, and in particular the use of graphic saturation, particularly on a thematic level (with the role given to animals and plants in general, to “bugs” in particular) in two graphic narratives aimed at immersing the reader in the colorful and vibrant and teeming world of Mexico as Kuper experienced it.

This analysis of the contemporary fantasy novel Strange Beasts of China, by Yan Ge, examines the ways in which this series of tales set in present-day China, evoking various species of monstrous "beasts", and all intertwined in such a way as to reveal the secrets of the origins of the (human) (or is she, really?) narrator, borrows from zhiguai through some of its themes, to magic realism through its ambiguous treatment of the status of the supernatural, and to postcolonial discourse in the way it denounces otherning through the symbolic example of "beasts" and the way they are treated by humans.

This long review of the collection of essays 'Chinese Poetry and Translation'. Rights and Wrongs, co-edited by Lucas Klein and Maghiel van Crevel, presents the many issues explored in the book by authors from a wide variety of backgrounds (more or less all of them being poets, translators and scholars specializing in translation studies and/or Chinese literature), and which deal in turn with the influences of Russian, Anglophone, French or German-speaking authors on various Chinese poets, the cultural influence of classical Chinese poetry and the difficulties encountered by translators due to the extreme archaism of the Chinese language used in these ancient texts, of the internal, aesthetic and ideological struggles between the modern proponents of one school of poetry or another, of the approaches that a translator can adopt according to their culture and their personal experience, the place to be given to the culture and experience of the author of the source text, intellectual interactions between poetry, translation and theoretical commentary, etc.

This new text is a sequel to my previous Ariel's Corner article "Krakauer-Tagg Duo: du souffle et des marteaux pour abattre les murs du confinement" (on the album Breath & Hammer by David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg, its relationship to the covid lockdown context, and to the spread of online music as a tool to create social cohesion). This sequel continues the study of the use of online music to bring together the lockdown-stricken, social distancing-afflicted, COVID-threatened from the English-speaking world. The analysis focuses, this time, on the ShantyTok, which is the name of the early-2021 explosion of viral videos on the social network TikTok (with subsequent uploads and sharing on other social media), devoted to the collective performance of sea shanties by TikTok users. The impacts of the COVID context, of TikTok's mood and how TikTok works, of how virality works, of the rallying properties of sea shanties' musical form, of their escapist cultural content, are examined in parallel to explain this sudden craze of a hyperconnected, anxious and reluctantly isolated youth for the catchy choral singing of hard-at-work Victorian sailors. In doing so, the article makes you travel upon all seas, from that of digital platforms, social networks and online video games, to that of real sailors and that of literary, musical and mythical sailors, from the seas that lie off the coasts of Victoria's Great Britain, and the Ireland and Scotland of folk bands and pubs, to those that lead to the Caribbean and America of the antebellum and Reconstruction periods, up until the sea that passes between the Australia and New Zealand of the whaling days.

The article examines "Breath & Hammer", an album by New York-based klezmer and jazz clarinetist David Krakauer and South African classical and experimental pianist Kathleen Tagg, released on May 8, 2020, during the first period of lockdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to show how the warm and radically composite character of the album and its rhetoric of rapprochement between cultures work to form both a culmination of the explorations of sound and mood found in the respective careers of the two musicians, and an imaginary that is apt to counter that of extreme loneliness bred by lockdowns and social distancing.
While the eponymous show was accompanied by a video installation which extended its musical message in favour of ties and sharing, the album also got, at the time of its release, an audiovisual extension. Indeed, as they were denied a promotional tour because of the lockdown, Krakauer and Tagg embarked on the production of a weekly web-show hosted from home, with concerts given from their apartment, videoconference interviews with their friends and collaborators, extracts from video archives of concerts and interviews... All that works as extra features to the release of the album, enthusiastically guiding viewers through the two artists' eclectic, multicultural and musically adventurous universe. The article also analyses those "Krakauer & Tagg's Sunday Connections". It shows how this series of videos adds to the spirit of connection through music promoted by the album, and how it is part of a widespread increase of the sharing of music, via the Internet or from balcony to balcony, during that period of isolation.

Anglican schooling. Raised up as a cultural outsider, he has cultivated his detached
outlook, moving from England to the United States and depicting the
latter from a British perspective in "Sandman" and "American Gods". His cheerful
embracement of the position of the “alien” also shows in his use and rewritings
of the foundational Judaic text, the Old Testament, in the six scripts he contributed
for the British comics-anthology of theological satire "Outrageous Tales from
the Old Testament" (Knockabout, 1987), and in his comics-series "Sandman" (DC,
1988–1996), where the explicit linking of DC characters to their biblical roots,
and the use of Midrashic references, operate as a resacralization that counterbalances
the desacralization at the core of "Outrageous Tales".

All that works as extra features to the release of the album, enthusiastically guiding viewers through the two artists' eclectic, multicultural and musically adventurous universe. The article also analyses those "Krakauer & Tagg's Sunday Connections". It shows how this series of videos adds to the spirit of connection through music promoted by the album, and how it is part of a widespread increase of the sharing of music, via the Internet or from balcony to balcony, during that period of isolation.

Anglican schooling. Raised up as a cultural outsider, he has cultivated his detached
outlook, moving from England to the United States and depicting the
latter from a British perspective in "Sandman" and "American Gods". His cheerful
embracement of the position of the “alien” also shows in his use and rewritings
of the foundational Judaic text, the Old Testament, in the six scripts he contributed
for the British comics-anthology of theological satire "Outrageous Tales from
the Old Testament" (Knockabout, 1987), and in his comics-series "Sandman" (DC,
1988–1996), where the explicit linking of DC characters to their biblical roots,
and the use of Midrashic references, operate as a resacralization that counterbalances
the desacralization at the core of "Outrageous Tales".
Back cover:
While a variety of future-set science fiction focusing on the effects of climate change (commonly called "climate fiction" or "cli-fi") is developing, more and more voices are being raised, in the scientific community, no longer to prevent a distant apocalypse, but to take notice of a collapse (of climate, biodiversity, energy resources, hence thermo-industrial civilization) already underway. The purpose of this collection is to accomplish part of the technical and anthropological study of this context offered by theoreticians of systemic collapse, or "collapsologists", but to focus specifically on its impact on fantasy, the fantastic and science fiction. The studies featured in this book are about recent works that may have been influenced by the current context of ongoing collapse and about older works that are then re-read in light of the new context. They provide analyses developed from a collapsological perspective, and reflections on the concept of collapse.

Sang de boeuf (Bouchers et acteurs) is a historical horror epic in which the Grand Guignol meets La Villette's butchers, the Tiger Brigades and Austrian diplomacy, and in which theater is entangled with the history of horror and with a sinister plot of prostitution and drug trafficking, serial murders and First World War traumas, leading you on a tour of the dark side of the Roaring Twenties' Paris.

In this review, I briefly analyze the links of Lionel Shriver's novel to the genres of science fiction, financial crisis fiction and family chronicle, as well as the way in which the novel dramatizes the author's libertarian ideology.
