    GĂ©raldine Chouard: Thank you, Joel Meyerowitz, for granting us this interview on the occasion of the exhibition of your work in Paris at the Maison EuropĂ©enne de la Photographie. The first picture of the exhibit, of a woman diving into the water, literally makes the visitor take the plunge into flux (cloud of bubbles) and color (swimming-pool blue); it’s almost as if we get splashed watching it. Why did you choose to exhibit this picture upside down? Joel Meyerowitz: I was making an installat..

    A Weltian Rhapsody: Paul Strand, “Blind” (1917) and Eudora Welty, “Blind Weaver on the WPA, Oktibbeha County, 1930s”

    Get PDF
    There are few photographs of blind people in the repertoire of American photography. One of the most famous is “Blind” (1917) by Paul Strand (which is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York). It is a photograph of a blind woman taken on the street in New York City. This woman is a beggar. Around her neck just below a pin bearing her license number, she is wearing a placard spelling out her blindness, which allows her to beg: this was the Progressive Era..

    AbĂ©cĂ©daire cybernĂ©tique et interactif, « Eudora Welty : l’AmĂ©rique Ă  la lettre » revient Ă  l’alphabet, matiĂšre premiĂšre des mots, pour rendre hommage Ă  une femme de lettres qui a donnĂ© Ă  l’AmĂ©rique une Ɠuvre d’une Ă©blouissante densitĂ© po(ĂŻ)Ă©tique. De lettre en lettre, des perspectives transversales ont ainsi Ă©tĂ© ouvertes pour l’exploration de thĂšmes, figures et motifs librement articulĂ©s, selon un mode fragmentaire et pluriel. Loin de recouvrir l’Ɠuvre weltienne, ce patchwork critique s’élabore ainsi autour d’un principe de contiguĂŻtĂ©, sur le mode de la connexion ou du rĂ©seau, et invite Ă  une lecture Ă  plusieurs entrĂ©es, dans tous les sens, en toute licence

    André Bleikasten. Philip Roth. Les ruses de la fiction.

    Get PDF
    On connaissait la prose riche et nuancĂ©e de Bleikasten sur Faulkner, l’auteur auquel il a consacrĂ© (une large part de) sa vie universitaire : dans la critique amĂ©ricaine contemporaine, son Parcours compte sans doute parmi les plus beaux. On dĂ©couvre maintenant, avec cet ouvrage sur Roth, une plume sensible aux effets d’une autre Ă©criture : trempĂ©e Ă  l’encre de la complicitĂ© (et non plus de la mĂ©lancolie), elle dessine les contours d’une Ɠuvre tout Ă  la fois joueuse et sĂ©rieuse, d’une verve in..
