Descending towards the south of Europe. Travel impressions: Un rêve d'Europe de F. Göranson (2019 [2018]) et Le Coeur de l'Europe d'E. Ruben (2018). (English)
Descer rumo ao sul da Europa. Impressões de viagem: Un rêve d'Europe de F. Göranson (2019 [2018]) et Le Coeur de l'Europe d'E. Ruben (2018). (Portuguese)

The aim will be to provide a representational and political reading of the southern European continent, perceived from two generically different narratives such as the graphic novel by Swedish author Fabian Göranson, A Dream of Europe (2018), and the short narrative of French writer Emmanuel Ruben's trip to the Balkans, symptomatically titled The Heart of Europe (2018). In both cases, we are dealing with recent rediscovery of the south of Europe in the light of historical events and societal changes arising from both the conflicts caused by the implosion of Yugoslavia and the sovereign debt crisis of southern European countries between 2010 and 2015. In fact, these two texts turn out to be "travel impressions" through the eyes of globetrotters-narrators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Il s'agira de procurer une lecture représentationnelle et politique du sud du continent européen perçu à partir de deux récits génériquement différents tel que le roman graphique de l'auteur suédois Fabian Göranson Un rêve d'Europe (2019 [2018]), et le bref récit de voyage dans les Balkans de l'écrivain français Emmanuel Ruben, symptomatiquement intitulé Le Coeur de l'Europe (2018). Dans les deux cas, nous avons affaire à des redécouvertes récentes du midi de l'Europe à l'aune des événements historiques et des mutations sociétales découlant aussi bien des conflits engendrés par l'implosion de la Yougoslavie que de la crise des dettes souveraines des pays européens du sud entre 2010 et 2015. En fait, ces deux textes s'avèrent des « impressions de voyage » à travers le regard de narrateurs-personnages globetrotteurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Propõe-se uma leitura representacional e política do sul do continente europeu percecionado a partir de duas narrativas genericamente diferentes tais como o romance gráfico do autor sueco Fabian Göranson Um sonho de Europa (2018), e a narrativa breve de viagem do escritor francês Emmanuel Ruben aos Balcãs, sintomaticamente intitulada O Coração da Europa (2018). Em ambos os casos, estamos diante de redescobertas recentes do sul da Europa através do prisma dos acontecimentos históricos e da crise das dívidas soberanas dos países europeus do Sul entre 2010 e 2015. Com efeito, ambos os textos se afiguram "impressões de viagem" através do olhar de narradores-personagens globetrotters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
