The 2021 issue of the Irish Journal of French Studies (IJFrS), featuring a thematic section titled ‘Baudelaire’s Afterlives: Immortality and its Discontents’, was published on 1 October 2021. The issue focuses on the major literary, cultural and theoretical impact of Charles Baudelaire (here in the famous 1863 portrait by Carjat), the French poet and critic, the bicentenary of whose birth occurs this year.
This international peer-reviewed journal, published on the Ingenta Connect platform by the Association des Études Françaises et Francophones d’Irlande (ADEFFI), showcases the important role of the Irish French and Francophone Studies community in the global development of this multi- and inter-disciplinary research field. Fully digitised since 2016, with issues becoming Open Access two years after publication, the journal has built up a significant body of high-quality scholarship in both French and English over the 21 years of its existence. Its General Editor since 2019 is Dr Michael G. Kelly, Senior Lecturer in French at UL.
