Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

French Studies examines language, literature, and culture within French and Francophone contexts. Recent articles explore linguistic identity in minority languages, the ethical complexities of memory and violence in literature, and the emergence of 'blue humanities' through water-related themes in Francophone thought. The journal also analyzes literary works in relation to historical events, state formation, and modernity, as well as contemporary poetry engaging with technology and media theory. Additionally, it investigates the appropriation of historical concepts like Negritude in modern cultural expressions and comparative literary analysis of French tragedies.
