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. 410 0$aFaux titre ;$v312. 606 $aAutobiography 606 $aArt and literature$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFrench literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSelf-portraits$zFrance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAutobiography. 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSelf-portraits 676 $a840.90091 700 $aWestley$b Hannah$0877253 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451581903321 996 $aThe body as medium and metaphor$91958802 997 $aUNINA
