Ce deuxième numéro de la revue annuelle des Amis d'Octave Mirbeau (AOM) entend poursuivre le travail entamé il y a plus d'un quart de siècle : d'une part, enrichir encore les études portant sur l'oeuvre de Mirbeau ; et, d'autre part, contribuer à la popularisation, auprès d'un plus large public, des oeuvres, des valeurs et des combats de « l'imprécateur au coeur fidèle ». Il comporte donc des articles universitaires et des synthèses relatives à la littérature, à l'art et à l'histoire, mais aussi un grand nombre de documents inédits, d'informations nouvelles sur Mirbeau, sur ses amis et sur l'actualité mirbellienne, de témoignages divers et de notes bibliographiques sur l'écrivain et son époque. Comme l'aurait sans doute voulu Mirbeau, les mots et les recherches sont superbement illustrés, grâce à des oeuvres originales de l'artiste russe Daria Matskevitch, ainsi que de la dessinatrice tunisienne Nadia Khiari, de l'artiste belge Antoine Juliens et des Français Jacques Cauda, Philippe Charpentier, Éloi Valat et Jean Estaque.
À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR

Sur fond de révolution culturelle, l'histoire d'amour impossible entre deux adolescents que tout sépare. Un roman bouleversant, le livre culte de la jeunesse chinoise. Fille d'une famille d'intellectuels disgraciés par le Parti, Jing Qiu, tout juste quinze ans, est envoyée à la campagne pour prouver sa valeur et sa droiture. C'est là qu'elle rencontre le beau Lao San, fils d'un général de l'armée. Irrésistiblement attirée par ce garçon qui joue de l'accordéon, chante des chansons russes interdites et n'hésite pas à critiquer le gouvernement, Jing Qiu lutte pourtant farouchement contre ses sentiments. Car l'amour romantique, concept petit-bourgeois par excellence, sont sévèrement condamnées par le régime. Mais la jeune fille est loin de se douter de ce que Lao San va entreprendre pour tromper la surveillance de leurs familles et du Parti, et lui prouver son amour. Au risque de mettre en danger celle qu'il aime...
Pour les jeunes femmes asiatiques, devenir soi-même, consiste de plus en plus à sortir de l'emprise en passant par l'exil. Aujourd'hui, certaines d'entre elles choisissent de venir faire leurs études en France. Ce livre vise à éclairer la complexité de la situation de ces femmes, prises dans une certaine ambivalence, en rapport avec leur processus d'autonomie.
Ce que les touristes éprouvent physiquement et intellectuellement pendant leurs séjours ou leurs déplacements n'a curieusement été abordé que tardivement par la recherche en tourisme. Pourtant, l'expérience touristique, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des états engendrés par ce que l'individu vit avant, pendant et après un séjour touristique, est un aspect essentiel du tourisme, une activité qui engage globalement l'individu.
Cet ouvrage, rassemblant une vingtaine de textes issus des 4es Rendez-vous Champlain sur le tourisme, fournit différents éclairages complémentaires tant sur l'expérience des touristes eux-mêmes que sur les dispositifs conçus pour en infléchir le cours. Les contours de l'expérience touristique sont d'abord tracés, puis ses modalités et ses singularités sont explorées. Les dispositifs expérientiels élaborés et les enjeux de cette mise en scène touristique sont enfin analysés.
L'expérience touristique renvoie à de multiples dimensions du tourisme : la demande touristique, dont il est dit aujourd'hui qu'elle est non seulement exigeante, versatile, paradoxale, mais aussi en quête d'expériences nouvelles ; les pratiques touristiques, qui articulent performances et expériences tant intellectuelles et émotionnelles que corporelles ; l'offre touristique, dans sa capacité ou non à produire de l'expérience. C'est pourquoi il importait de consacrer un ouvrage entier à ce concept multiforme et intégrateur.

Le colloque dont les communications sont ici publiées a eu pour ses participants une tonalité particulière. Et le Président de l'Université de Provence a tenu à être présent à l'ouverture des travaux. Cette rencontre était en effet dédiée à deux des membres fondateurs du C.U.E.R. M.A., Marguerite ROSSI et Paul BANCOURT. Ces collègues vont bientôt cesser d'enseigner. Il ne s'agira de retraite que sur le plan administratif puisqu'ils continueront tous les deux, nous le savons, leurs activités scientifiques, en particulier dans le cadre du C.U.E.R. M.A. Ainsi donc avons-nous travaillé cette année sur le thème de l'étrange et de l'étranger, domaines qu'ont particulièrement explorés nos deux collègues dans leurs travaux antérieurs.
