Résumé:
Contrairement aux autres Histoire de… écrits pendant ses dernières années, Viollet-le-Duc, ici, n’a pas recouru à la fiction. C’est une histoire classique, qui suit le mouvement de l’art de l’antiquité à l’époque contemporaine, dans une perspective “nationale” qui donne dans ces pages le meilleur d’elle-même, à savoir la volonté de chercher ce qui fait la spécificité et la beauté d’une tradition artistique. Voilà donc un classique, épuisé depuis de nombreuses années (première édition A. Morel et Cie éditeurs, Paris, 1877), sur un sujet qui reste largement inexploré.

Résumé:
From James Agee to W. G. Sebald, there has been an explosion of modern documentary narratives and fiction combining text and photography in complex and fascinating ways. However, these contemporary experiments are part of a tradition that stretches back to the early years of photography. Writers have been integrating photographs into their work for as long as photographs have existed, producing rich, multilayered creations; and photographers have always made images that incorporate, respond to, or function as writing. On Writing with Photography explores what happens to texts—and images—when they are brought together.

Connections between the graphic language of comics and that of the poster can be identified in terms of both form and content. Even though the sequential pictorial narrative of the comic strip is condensed into an individual image appropriate to the poster's frame, the narrative approach remains comparable: humor, and a vivd overdrawing in a constant mixture of reality(...)

Even though the sequential pictorial narrative of the comic strip is condensed into an individual image appropriate to the poster's frame, the narrative approach remains comparable: humor, and a vivd overdrawing in a constant mixture of reality and fiction are typical features. The appropriation of specific design elements charateristic of comics for use as pictorial codes is starting to be taken for granted in contemporary posters.

"Coralations" is a philosophical exploration of the media that come into focus when we shift our attention from the highly recognizable coral of the tropics. Focusing on soft corals and deep-water corals leads to different narratives about climate change and involves different analogies to media.

Résumé:
"Coralations" is a philosophical exploration of the media that come into focus when we shift our attention from the highly recognizable coral of the tropics. Focusing on soft corals and deep-water corals leads to different narratives about climate change and involves different analogies to media. Through thought-provoking analyses of photography, science fiction, visual art, and scientific images, Melody Jue renews our curiosity and broadens our understanding of corals beyond the dominant narratives about their endangerment. "Coralations" shows how paying attention to particular corals can change what we take for granted.

Résumé:
Based on the photographs and writings of his great-grandfather, photographer and video artist Andréas Lang embarks on a search for traces and research into a lost chapter of German colonial history in Central Africa: a frontier expedition to take possession of the territory of French Congo. His photographs and videos depict places and landscapes in which the phantoms of the colonial era are still present, in a state of limbo between reality and fiction, past and present. He contrasts this with previously unpublished historical material that reflects the bleak reality of colonialism.

Cette exposition rassemble des oeuvres issues des collections du Fonds régional d'art contemporain Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur et du Fonds national d'art contemporain autour du thème architecture et fiction. Une architecture parasitée par des fictions diverses, qu'elles soient poétiques, humoristiques, ou dérisoires. Le titre de l'exposition est emprunté à Kafka dans Le Château, phrase qui permet d'appréhender l'architecture telle que les artistes l'envisagent, sous la forme de digresssions et de décalages. Chaque artiste invité apporte une proposition qui déjoue toute volonté de système.

Résumé:
This thesis investigates the role of the term plot in mediating relations between architecture and narrativity. Examining organisational strategies in the creation of real and virtual spaces, it identifies literary works by novelists who have resisted, or subverted, plot conventions in fiction (Joris-Karl Huysmans, Edmond de Goncourt, Xavier de Maistre and Neal Stephenson), and introduces architectural spaces such as Thomas Edison s film-studio Black Maria, and the plotless productions of early cinematography, to juxtapose concepts of plot and spatiality in a study of the production and consumption of pre-digital virtual spaces.
