The starting point for the book is a series of metaphors used by Barthes at a round table discussion on Proust in 1972. He suggests, for example, that À la recherche is comparable to Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations insofar as it is made of ‘variations without a theme’, and he observes that a novel constructed in this way requires readers and critics to ‘rewrite’ and to ‘operate variations’ on the literary work rather than to interpret it. By unpacking these (and other) figures and connecting them to others that appear in Barthes’s (and Proust’s) writing, the remaining chapters of the book provide answers to the following questions: Are the variations in Proust’s novel indeed themeless? What is it that makes Proust’s writing, for Barthes or generally, both endlessly seductive, productive and unamenable to more conventional, hermeneutical forms of criticism? What does Barthes do with À la recherche, and how, in his approach, is Barthes different from other critics who have written about Proust? What possibilities do Barthes’s Proust variations open up for the future of criticism more generally?

Abstract A decade ago at a conference in Poznań, leading scholars of the avant-garde were asked to share their thoughts on the future of their discipline. Now we are launching the first Journal of Avant-Garde Studies it is time to reflect on these visions from scholars mainly based in Europe. Have we moved in different directions or have promises remained unfulfilled? Contemporary scholars of the avant-garde reflected on the round table discussion and offered their views on where we will go from here.

AbstractThis Workshop covered a cornucopia of topics that were featured in short formal presentations, followed by a round-table discussion. G. Hosseinzadeh and H. Kuncarayakti presented the results of their recent researches into interacting supernovæ. They included both the intriguing Type Ibn supernova subclass, and SN 2017dio, which appears to be the first Type Ic supernova to be seen to exhibit signatures of hydrogen-rich circumstellar interaction at all phases. M. Sullivan provided a summary relating to the future of transient science in the era of Big Data, and participants discussed strategies to determine which targets and fields should be selected for spectroscopic follow-up. The Workshop concluded with a rather heated discussion regarding the need for the IAU Supernovæ Working Group to consider modifying the current criterion for a confirmed supernova in order for it to receive an official IAU designation.
