In his seminal articles Le monde et le pantaloon and Peintres de l’empêchement, written in the 1940s about the art of brothers Abraham and Gerardus Van Velde, Samuel Beckett talks about painting and the crisis of representation. He concludes that, nowadays, the object is undressed and what is left to represent on stage blocks the very representation. This is the source of his characters’ indeterminism, and their feeling of perpetual confinement; and this is the barrier that marrs human condition. Is there a way out? The playwright’s reply allows us to envisage the possibility of escaping this prison, and indeterminism, through a kind of avant-garde art about acceptance which, in the absence of the object, makes a new object visible.

The double is part of the themes used by literary fiction in order to emphasize the dual nature of both the human being and the universe, exploring the complex inner world of the character and his relation with the other. The relationship between I and other is part of the choices made by the authors so their characters take different attitudes towards the double. The connection between I and you is of particular interest to us in the context of Quebec literature because it is part of the territories which are most affected by cultural diversity. In this article, we would like to present a novel by Monique LaRue Les faux fuyants (1982). It operates with a special type of double:entwining. By analyzing twins as a classic double type, we would like to point out the poetic means used by the author to present this kind of duality.

The generation born between the 80's and the first 90’s in Italy,has lived under the media and institutional bombing against immigrants. The only fault of this generation was the expectation for a better standard of living that their countries gave them. Therefore, they chose the cities of the West as destination, which found itself in a very difficult moment. For example, the first oil crisis, on 1973, incited the governments in rebuilding the economic system, transforming it in a neoliberal economic system, which decreased the prices to disadvantage the common workers. In this contest, migrant workers have covered an essential role in the western economy, because of the particular juridical position of themselves.The political and juridical position of the strangers, constituted by the lack of rights and privileges, allowed the exploitation of the immigrants by the factories, without consequences. This essay analyzes the continue decreasing of migrant’s rights in history. For this purpose, analyzing the important legislative decrees that have been adopted in Italy in the last twenty years, is evident the attitude to criminalize the immigrants. The first aim of this essay is the demystification of the political process and of the media, in order to observe facts from a neutral and incisive perspective. The goal is to release from the mood of hate against immigrants, a mood sadly familiar for the 90's generation. All that is against democracy, the same democracy that western countries are proud of. These countries have forgotten all of this,remembering us some aspects of absolutism, and even totalitarianism.

This study examines journalism which was written by Paul Goma during his tumultuous life of a writer and anticommunist opponent. Collected in three large volumes, it reveals a large number of texts that have been partially or never published in Romanian, but enjoying broadcast at Western radio stations. Articles from press, collected in the two volumes, are arranged in chronological order and what we surely find out is that the author has become a declared opponent of the communist regime even while it was still in force. He wrote about communist camps while in Romania and continued to expose the Ceausescu regime in exile in Paris after the final departure. Even after the 1989 revolution the publicist does not diminish his accusations against those who maintained the evils of communism, covering them with speeches about democracy. The writer’s focus is language which, beyond the social message, has obvious literary features.

Panait Istrati’s book, Spovedanie pentru învinşi, can beconsidered the “novel” of the relations of the author with theSoviet Union, being also the “card” of the citizen writer, fighterfor freedom and social justice. The authenticity of the reportderives from the reconstruction based on the author’s memory,returned to Paris after sixteen months in the U.S.S.R., and alsofrom the sincerity of his tone. Written in French language andbuilt on the European report size, Spovedanie pentru învinşi can be interpreted as a pretty random connection between thejournal and pamphlet.
