Situating the body as the nexus of intersections between the written word and the visual image, this book rethinks the problematic status of the self. Starting at the twentieth-century’s departure from figurative and mimetic representation, this study discusses the work of seminal artists and writers – including Marcel Duchamp, Michel Leiris, Francis Bacon, Bernard Noël, Gisèle Prassinos, Louise Bourgeois and Orlan – to articulate the twentieth century’s radical revisions of subjectivity that originated from and returned to representations of the word, the image, and the body. This volume will be of interest to students of both French Literature and Art History, particularly those who are interested in the interdisciplinary exchanges between visual arts and literature.Faux titre ;312.AutobiographyArt and literatureFranceHistory20th centuryFrench literature20th centuryHistory and criticismSelf-portraitsFranceElectronic books.Autobiography.Art and literatureHistoryFrench literatureHistory and criticism.Self-portraits840.90091Westley Hannah877253MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451581903321The body as medium and metaphor1958802UNINA
