Pour tenter de composer avec cette obsession elle choisit d'écrire à cet homme. Par jeu ou par défi, son mari décide de lui écrire à son tour. De cette situation triangulaire insolite, Chris Kraus tire une méditation subversive sur la place des femmes dans le couple et dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Elle pousse l'exploration du désir féminin à son comble, nous entraîne dans les tréfonds d'une quête acharnée qui la conduit à traverser l'Amérique et à faire chemin seule, dans l'espoir d'une possible renaissance. C'est donc moins à une relecture des Liaisons dangereuses que de Madame Bovarg à laquelle nous invite Chris Kraus dans ce livre culte qui efface les limites entre fiction, essai et récit autobiographique pour mieux sonder les multiples visages du discours amoureux.

Summary:
The first volume in a new series on critical concerns in the history of American art, 'Picturing' brings together essays by scholars who discuss the creation and consumption of images from the early modern period through the end of the twentieth century. Some of the contributions focus on art critical texts, like Gertrude Stein’s portrait of Cézanne, while others have as their point of departure particular artworks, from a portrait of Benjamin Franklin to Eadweard Muybridge’s nineteenth-century photographs of the California Coast. Works that addressed images and image making were not confined to the academy; they spilled out into poetry, literature, theater, and philosophy, and the essays’ considerations likewise range freely, from painting to natural history illustrations, travel narratives, and popular fiction. Together, the contributions demonstrate a rich deliberation that thoroughly debunks the notion that American art is merely derivative of a European tradition.

Summary:
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.

C’est avec la publication de « L’Utopie » de Thomas More en 1516 que le mot se répand et que naît un genre littéraire associant critique sociale et description d’une « société heureuse ». L’utopie n’est pas une anticipation, mais un présent qui mise sur le bonheur, l’équité, l’abondance et le respect de chacun. Thierry Paquot explore diverses utopies écrites ou expérimentées qui se sont succédées depuis le XVIe siècle, en privilégiant certains thèmes : le travail et les loisirs, l’éducation, la famille et les relations amoureuses, la ville et l’architecture. L’utopie s’enrichit au XIXe siècle de l’uchronie, puis de la science-fiction, pour proposer de nouvelles alternatives à la « société de consommation ». L’utopie contient le pire et le meilleur, elle se révèle parfois autoritaire, totalitaire, culpabilisatrice, triste et uniformisante, tout comme elle peut favoriser le déploiement des désirs, démultiplier les plaisirs, répondre joyeusement aux attentes de ses membres.

Summary:
"Monsters under Glass" explores our enduring fascination with hothouses and exotic blooms, from their rise in ancient times, through the Victorian vogue for plant collecting, to the vegetable monsters of twentieth-century science fiction and the movies, comics, and video games of the present day. Our interest in hothouses can be traced back to the Roman emperor Tiberius, but it was only in the early nineteenth century that a boom in exotic plant collecting and new glasshouse technologies stimulated the imagination of novelists, poets, and artists, and the hothouse entered the creative language in a highly charged way. Decadent writers in England and Europe—including Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde—transformed the hothouse from a functional object to a powerful metaphor of metropolitan life, sexuality, and being replete with a dark underside of decay and death; and of consciousness itself, nurtured and dissected under glass.

Summary:
The work of the recently deceased Bay-area photographer, Henry Wessel, is renowned for its fragmentary and compelling nature, each image urging imaginative leaps towards the fatalism and moral ambiguity of noir film and fiction. Every Wessel photograph is a gateway to a wild array of extraordinary storylines. This project, 'A Dark Thread', takes this semblance of an idea further by commissioning over a dozen renowned noir writers to produce a short story in response to one or more of Wessel’s black and white photographs. This first version of the project brings together French translations of stories by Art Taylor, Ivy Pochoda, and Alexander MacLeod, together with the photographs that inspired them. Straddling the space between literary publishing and photobook, this slim volume offers a new and original means of understanding Henry Wessel’s photography and accompanies a retrospective of his work at the Maison de la Photograhie in Paris (June 2019).

Résolument politique, cet ouvrage collectif de textes de fiction (poésie, récits, nouvelles et textes hybrides) pense l’affect, les mécanismes de défense, les obsessions, les impulsions, la mélancolie, la douleur chronique ou l’anxiété comme des voies privilégiées pour aborder toutes les manières de prendre soin de soi, qu’elles soient new age, ancestrales, individualistes, solidaires ou (anti) capitalistes. Sans bouder les sheet masks et les eye patches, ces auteurices méditent, font du yoga, pratiquent une sexualité complexe, s’engagent politiquement et, surtout, écrivent. Leurs textes sont dotés d’un tel sentiment d’urgence qu’ils prouvent que le self-care des personnes socialement marginalisées est toujours investi d’une quête plus grande : pour elles, prendre soin de soi, c’est aussi se réparer et se recréer collectivement.

Summary:
In this book, Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration. They identify responses to the crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of Renee Gladman. In readings of these and other minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards. In so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated tactics and strategies for living under precarity.

Summary:
I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. In this novel, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America’s greatest architect, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney’s profound influence on Wright.
