London Impressions d’Alice Meynell et William Hyde (1898) : fabrique du livre et connectivité

2021

At a time when print was being challenged by new media that dematerialized information flows, the illustrated book London Impressions reflected an ideal of connectivity.

It contextualizes the way Hyde’s images were manufactured and tackles the material and medial notion of connectivity from the perspective of ecocriticism and media arc…

Andrews. For all its ubiquity, however, the generic label 'slave narrative' has been used in many different ways by specialists of African American literature. In this essay I argue that the systematic and sometimes uncritical use of the label has led to generalizations that limit our understanding of…

Playing with Format (1)

International audience; Le volume 45 de la revue Interfaces propose une réflexion sur la double nature du format, comme contrainte et condition de la créativité. Il aborde le rôle du format dans la création, développant une réflexion sur ses usages en art, en poésie, dans le théâtre, dans le domaine du livre, des périodiques et de productions telles que les carnets d’artistes. Il met en exergue la dimension expérimentale des variations de format dans les processus de création artistique et les stratégies éditoriales ou de conservation, ainsi que les pratiques hybrides (texte / image) et les transferts intermédiaux.
