THERENTY, Marie-Eve. Urban Mysteries in the World: Circulation, Transfers, Appropriations. Secuencia [online]. 2017, n.97, pp.263-275. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i97.1454.

This study explores an example of the first globalization of culture through Eugène Sue’s Les Mystères de Paris, originally published in installments in the Journal des Débats, between June 1842 and October 1843, which represents the beginning of the urban mysteries. The novel The Mysteries of Paris questions aspects of the city’s modernity by showing, among other things, its crime, social fabric and mysterious aspects. The urban mystery was reproduced in different countries, which speaks of the circulation and appropriation of Sue’s novel, hence the need to study the bases with a transnational approach to literature. On the basis of the results of the research undertaken by the collective, inter-institutional and international research project, Médias 19, it is possible to propose some hypotheses about the laws in the republican world of letters, such as:The Law of Transference: there is no transference without mutation instantaneity and misalignment and The Law of Hybridization.
