Résurrection : un espace littéraire pour l’imaginaire en temps de guerre

Bibliographic Details
Summary:An avant-garde Belgian review published during World War I, Résurrection (1917-1918) reveals both the doubts and the hopes that dominate this complex period in history. Edited by Clément Pansaers, this periodical assembles contributions from Belgian, French, and German authors in an effort to enhance the real with the imaginary and to inspire a new world through literature. An analysis of six issues of Résurrection reveals its varied nature: expressionist texts dominate the publication, yet examples of predadaist and unanimist texts are featured as well. The article also focuses on the review’s political aspect, a mark of the Pansaers’ influence. Above all, the review emphasizes the necessity of upholding humanism in the face of barbarity and war, fervently calling harmony between people.
