Book Synopsis Pour un nouvel art politique by : Dominique Baqué
Download or read book Pour un nouvel art politique written by Dominique Baqué and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il existe, en France notamment, uni consensus chez artistes et critiques qui consiste à perpétuer l'idéal d'une œuvre d'art susceptible d'éveiller les consciences aliénées, de modifier le cours de l'Histoire, de créer de la "reliance" là où le tissu social s'est déchiré. Ce livre émet une hypothèse radicalement attire, critique et polémique: analysant les pôles de résistance que l'art oppose depuis mie vingtaine d'années à l'effondrement du politique, l'auteure montre combien une partie de l'art contemporain peut se révéler naïf, idéologiquement faible, encore pétri d'illusions humanistes, clivé entre les positions désormais caduques des néo-avant-gardes et les œuvres dites " relationnelles ", qui prônent une convivialité de bon aloi et occultent gravement l'extrême dureté des fractures sociales. L'auteure interroge les récentes pratiques de guérillas sémiotiques contre la mondialisation et récuse la supposée valeur de véracité que certains continuent d'attribuer ait photojournalisme, en dépit de la spectacularisation de l'information. D'où ce constat: à la déréliction du politique correspond la défection de l'art à vocation politique ou sociale. Constat d'échec ? Pas seulement. Car l'art pourrait passer le témoin à d'autres formes visuelles: le documentaire engagé, photographique et plus encore cinématographique, puissante " machine à penser" selon l'expression de Thierry Garrel. Ce livre se veut, au final, un hommage rendu à la modestie lucide du documentaire, an travail du temps, à la parole incarnée, à l'écart des bruyantes imageries postmodernes.
Book Synopsis The Cinema of Agns Varda by : Delphine Benezet
Download or read book The Cinema of Agns Varda written by Delphine Benezet and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agnès Varda, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has been making radical films for over half a century. Many of these are considered by scholars, filmmakers, and audiences alike, as audacious, seminal, and unforgettable. This volme considers her production as a whole, revisiting overlooked films like Mur, Murs/Documenteur (1980–81), and connecting her cinema to recent installation work. This study demonstrates how Varda has resisted norms of representation and diktats of production. It also shows how she has elaborated a personal repertoire of images, characters, and settings, which all provide insight on their cultural and political contexts. The book thus offers new readings of this director’s multifaceted rêveries, arguing that her work should be seen as an aesthetically influential and ethically-driven production where cinema is both a political and collaborative practice, and a synesthetic art form.
Book Synopsis Negotiating the auteur by : Julia Dobson
Download or read book Negotiating the auteur written by Julia Dobson and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first detailed analysis of the work of four important contemporary directors whose work falls between the reductive labels of 'auteur cinema' and 'popular cinema'. Their work is contextualised within this timely investigation into the shifting relationship between the privileged status of the auteur and questions of genre, gender and cinematic production in France today. This important contribution to understanding the shifting landscapes of contemporary French film identifies an essential intermediacy in the films of these directors, which works to undo a series of dominant oppositions, generic template and contestation, public collectivity and personal intimacy, to offer a new perspective on the location of the political in contemporary French cinema. The four chapters provide detailed critical analysis of films by Dominique Cabrera, Laetitia Masson, Noémie Lvovsky and Marion Vernoux, and present common thread including the possible construction of social intimacy, the political demystification of romance narratives and the role of nostalgia, to argue that their work uses popular genres in order to challenge dominant cultural representation that resonates beyond the immediate parameters of contemporary French cinema. This book will be of interest to researchers working in French and European cinema, to students of Film Studies and French and Francophone Studies, and to film enthusiasts.
Download or read book Photo-texts written by Andy Stafford and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do photographs want? Do they need any accompaniment in today's image-saturated society? Can writing inflect photography (or vice versa) in such a way that neither medium takes precedence? Or are they in constant, inexorable battle with each other? Taking nine case studies from the 1990s French-speaking world (from France, North Africa and the Caribbean), this book attempts to define the interaction between non-fictional written text (caption, essay, fragment, poem) and photographic image. Having considered three categories of 'intermediality' between text and photography - the collaborative, the self-collaborative and the retrospective - the book concludes that the dimensions of their interaction are not simple and two-fold (visuality versus/alongside textuality), but threefold and therefore 'complex'. Thus, the photo-text, as defined here, is concerned as much with orality - the demotic, the popular, the vernacular - as it is with visual and written culture. That text-image collaborations give space to the spoken, spectral traces of human discourse, suggests that the key element of the photo-text is its radical provisionality.
Book Synopsis Art and Politics under Modern Dictatorships by : Caterina Preda
Download or read book Art and Politics under Modern Dictatorships written by Caterina Preda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the relationship between art and politics in two contrasting modern dictatorships. Through a detailed look at the Chilean and Romanian dictatorships, it compares the different ways in which political regimes convey their view of the world through artistic means. It examines how artists help \ convey a new understanding of politics and political action during repressive regimes that are inspired by either communism or anti-communism (neoliberalism, traditionalist, conservative). This book demonstrates how artistic renderings of life during dictatorships are similar in more than one respect, and how art can help better grasp the similarities of these regimes. It reveals how dictatorships use art to symbolically construct their power, which artists can consolidate by lending their support, or deconstruct through different forms of artistic resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivre Ici analyzes a diverse selection of contemporary French documentaries about spaces and places in France. Integrating film theory, eco-criticism and cultural history, Levine investigates documentary cinema as experience. The book reveals a collage-like, fragmented vision of France as seen through documentary cameras and explores the social and political consequences of these “films that matter.”
Book Synopsis L'expérience politique de l'art by : Daniel Vander Gucht
Download or read book L'expérience politique de l'art written by Daniel Vander Gucht and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La définition de l'art politique a connu un bouleversement considérable au tournant des années 1970 avec l'abandon du paradigme absolutiste de l'art (" l'Art est tout ") et du politique (" la Politique est tout ") au profit de la mise en place d'un nouveau paradigme relativiste (" tout est art " et " tout est politique "). Au messianisme révolutionnaire des avant-gardes historiques se substitue ainsi un projet de réinvestissement et de réappropriation de l'espace public dans et par la pratique artistique. La question de la place des femmes en est l'un des aspects les plus marquants. À la lumière d'une tradition déjà séculaire d'art engagé, et à l'aide de quelques outils conceptuels simples empruntés à la sociologie et à la philosophie politique, cet ouvrage - qui s'adresse tant aux étudiants qu'aux amateurs et aux artistes eux-mêmes - tente de cerner la question récurrente de la responsabilité de l'artiste, et par la même occasion de mieux comprendre le propos de cet art contemporain qui continue à nous provoquer
Book Synopsis Art and Sustainability by : Sacha Kagan
Download or read book Art and Sustainability written by Sacha Kagan and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought-provoking answer, with a theoretical synthesis on »cultures of sustainability«. Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability, to which the arts are contributing, Sacha Kagan engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world. We must learn not to be afraid of complexity, and to re-awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect. With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years, and a discussion of art and social change, the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.
Book Synopsis Art et politique by : Jean-Marc Lachaud

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il était de bon ton, il y a encore quelques années, d'affirmer, puisque les grands récits critiques et utopiques du XX° siècle s'étaient effondrés, que les artistes étaient désengagés et que leurs oeuvres étaient dépolitisées, que la question de l'art et le/la politique n'était donc plus d'actualité. Cependant, l'art, aujourd'hui comme hier, entretient de fait d'évidentes relations avec le champ du/de la politique. Ces textes s'attachent à clarifier leurs rapports.
Book Synopsis Exploring the Ecologies of Music and Sound by : Makis Solomos
Download or read book Exploring the Ecologies of Music and Sound written by Makis Solomos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Makis Solomos explores the ecologies of music and sound, inspired by Felix Guattari, for whom environmental destruction caused by capitalism goes hand in hand with deteriorating ways of living and feeling, and for whom an ecosophical stance, combining various ecological registers, offers a glimpse of emancipation, a position strengthened today by intersectional approaches. Solomos explores environmental, mental and social ecologies through the lens of the history of music and current artivisms – especially in the fields of acoustic ecology, contemporary music and sound art. Several theoretical and analytical debates are put forward, including a theory of sound milieus and the biopolitics of sound; the relationships between music and the living world; soundscape compositions, field recording, ecomusicology, and the creation of sound biotopes; the use of sound and music to violent ends as well as considering the social and political functions of music and the autonomy of art, sonic ecofeminism, degrowth in music, and much more.

Book Synopsis The Reason of Terror by : Kem Crimmins
Download or read book The Reason of Terror written by Kem Crimmins and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reason of Terror pursues the need for philosophical responses attuned to the complexity of terrorism. Driven by the conviction that terrorism is a worthy topic for philosophical reflection, the volume presents careful conceptual analyses of terrorism while demonstrating that the relation between reason and terrorism is deeply rooted in the history of philosophy. In a series of historical essays that begins with Lucretius' reflections on terror, includes Machiavelli and Hegel's political analyses and continues through Arendt's investigation of terror and ideology, the authors counter a prevalent tendency to think that terrorism is irrational and hence beyond the pale of philosophical reflection. The collection continues by investigating contemporary terrorism's impact upon subjectivity, communication and rhetoric, and the practice of philosophy. Taken as a whole, the essays demonstrate not only philosophy's ability to think terrorism, but also terrorism's impact on philosophy.
Book Synopsis L'Art et la Politique by : Jean-Jacques Gleizal
Download or read book L'Art et la Politique written by Jean-Jacques Gleizal and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1993-12-31T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'art contemporain est une énigme pour beaucoup. La question se pose, non seulement de son sens, mais de son existence. L'art n'est-il pas devenu affaire de médias, voire de marché ? N'a-t-il pas perdu sa qualité d'art au profit de conceptualisations de plus en plus subtiles ? De plus en plus sollicité par les pouvoirs publics, ne risque-t-il pas de perdre son autonomie ? Partant de l'art, l'auteur analyse ici l'hybridation de ces paramètres : le social, le politique, le juridique. L'art contemporain ne serait-il pas, à la croisée des chemins, la médiation nécessaire entre ces domaines, jouant ainsi son propre rôle, à la fois critique et régulateur ? Passant en revue les mouvements artistiques actuels, Jean-Jacques Gleizal dresse avec dextérité le tableau de leurs traits distinctifs : tous, chacun à leur manière, manifestent le lien entre la subjectivité et la sphère publique où ils s'inscrivent : L'art met en relation et est mis en relation. Voilà qui propose les bases d'une connaissance politologique de l'art.

Book Synopsis Alfredo Jaar : la politique des images by : Alfredo Jaar
Download or read book Alfredo Jaar : la politique des images written by Alfredo Jaar and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning from the 1970s until today, this compelling new monograph traces the development of the respected Chilean-born, New York-based conceptualist--from his earliest public interventions to his latest installations. Some of the highly political subjects range from the plight of Amazonian gold miners to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, and there are several previously unpublished works that the artist created in his hometown of Santiago during Pinochet's repressive military dictatorship, as well as numerous works made by collating and rethinking press clippings. Working with public interventions, installations, photography and video, Jaar examines the nature of images and their viewers' relationships to them. His work tackles the very possibility of producing art based on events that we would prefer to ignore, and of creating images in a context characterized both by their over-abundance and, paradoxically, by their invisibility. Texts by art historians Georges Didi Huberman, Griselda Pollock and Nicole Schweizer and philosopher Jacques Rancière.
Book Synopsis Les Romains et L'Eau by : Alain Malissard
Download or read book Les Romains et L'Eau written by Alain Malissard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [This book is written in French.] Vitale pour toute société humaine, l'eau est pour les Romains le symbole même de leur existence-depuis que Romulus, le fondateur, a été sauvé des eaux du Tibre-ainsi que de leur pouvoir sur les forces naturelles et sur les hommes. Ce livre montre comment ils ont répondu aux nécessités immédiates, mais aussi joint l'utile au plaisir, le futile à la grandeur. Avec une précision qui surprendra les ingénieurs et une suimplic-ité dont les profanes lui sauront gré, l'auteur retrace la quête obstinée de techniques souterraines et aériennes, qui permettent de capter les eaux dans les lointaines montagnes, de les conduire jusqu'aux villes, de les purifier, de les conserver et de les évacuer. On rencontre ici les Romains dans leur intimité, on entend leurs bavardages autour des fontaines, ou dans les latrines, on surprend leur admiration pour les empereurs évergètes qui leur offrent des thermes somptueux, mais on y trouve aussi les calculs des ingénieurs, leurs tâtonnements, leurs échecs et leurs réussites, et surtout la volonté de puissance d'un peuple qui, pour maîtriser la source de la vie, jetait à travers les plaines et par-dessus les val-lées profondes les arches puissantes et élégantes de ses aqueducs.
Book Synopsis The Changing Face of African Literature / Les nouveaux visages de la littérature africaine by :
Download or read book The Changing Face of African Literature / Les nouveaux visages de la littérature africaine written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Changing Face of African Literature combines both the large picture – a synopsis of current trends in African literature – and the small: studies of individual texts and of themes across several texts. The large and the small are linked by recurring themes, such as gender and sexuality, the nation-state and its collapse, AIDS, war, and suffering. The volume is comparative, bringing together literature in at least five languages and from at least ten national literatures. Such a large, comparative frame is implied by most discussion of African literature but is too seldom seen. At the same time, the collection also problematizes the comparison: the goal is to make clear what African literatures have in common but also where they diverge. What difference do distinct literary traditions, readerships, and publishing patterns make to literatures which share a common thematic and so many of the same questions and needs? By juxtaposing contemporary texts form several traditions, the intention of this collection is to bring out the themes that are currently dominant in African literatures generally. After a preface by Liz Gunner and a wide-ranging introduction by the editors, the collection presents keynote essays on new paradigms in African literature, before treating specific themes – recent crime fiction, the Afrikaans and anglophone novel, feminist literature, ‘migritude’ – and studies of recent works by individual authors such as André Brink, Henri Djombo, Pie Tshibanda, Bessora, Nadine Gordimer, and Paulina Chiziane, as well as the South African television series Yizo Yizo.
