Regarding the Popular
Regarding the Popular charts the complex relationship between the avant-gardes and modernisms on the one hand and popular culture on the other. Covering (neo-)avant-gardists and modernists from various European countries, this second volume in the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies explores the nature of so-called “low” culture, dealing with aspects as diverse as the everyday and the folkloric. Regarding the Popular charts the many ways in which the allegedly “high” modernists and avant-gardists looked at and represented the “low”. As such, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in the dynamic of modern experimental arts and literatures.
Beyond Given Knowledge
The effort to go beyond given knowledge in different domains – artistic, scientific, political, metaphysical – is a characteristic driving force in modernism and the avant-gardes. Since the late 19th century, artists and writers have frequently investigated their medium and its limits, pursued political and religious aims, and explored hitherto unknown physical, social and conceptual spaces, often in ways that combine these forms of critical inquiry into one and provoke further theoretical and methodological innovations. The fifth volume of the EAM series casts light on the history and actuality of investigations, quests and explorations in the European avant-garde and modernism from the...
A History of the Surrealist Novel
A History of the Surrealist Novel offers a rich, long, and elastic historiography of the surrealist novel, taking into consideration an abundance of texts previously left out of critical accounts. Its twenty thematically organized chapters examine surrealist prose texts written in French, English, Spanish, German, Greek, and Japanese, from the emergence of the surrealist movement in the 1920s and 1930s, through the post-war and postmodern periods, and up to the contemporary moment. This approach extends received narratives regarding surrealism's geographical locations and considers its transnational movement and modes of circulation. Moreover, it challenges critical biases that have defined surrealism in predominantly masculine terms, and which tie the movement to the interwar or early post-war years. This book will appeal both to scholars and students of surrealism and its legacies, modernist literature, and the history of the novel.

Great Art Critics (1750-2000)
The art world has become a point of contention within a range of debates and yet, strangely enough, while art criticism has been discussed at length, very little is said about art critics. Following in the footsteps of Lionello Venturi’s History of Art Criticism, in the current volume Lorente provides an updated reassessment of the great art critics from the Enlightenment down to the turn of the millennium. Conceived as a didactic handbook with a recommended bibliography at the end of each chapter, this concise work tells the history of a profession in permanent crisis, while also paying homage to its most infl uential practitioners in different cultural contexts.
L’intervista immaginata
Il giornalismo ha escogitato un mezzo per indagare nelle vite degli scrittori: l’intervista. A questo sguardo indiscreto essi reagiscono inventando un nuovo genere letterario, l’intervista immaginata: un escamotage con cui schermare la propria intimità e al contempo capovolgere il faro della stampa innanzitutto contro gli stessi intervistatori. Fingendo di esserlo a loro volta, gli autori riusciranno a parlare con i fantasmi del nostro immaginario. Ridotti al rango di personaggi, tutti i loro interlocutori vengono sottoposti alle deformazioni dell’ironia, della satira, dell’autorappresentazione. Ricostruendo le mutazioni dell’intervista fittizia nei diversi supporti, dalla carta stampata alla radio, dalla televisione ai dispositivi digitali, Guido Mattia Gallerani, con un ricchissimo repertorio e spoglio di testi teorici e creativi dell’Otto-Novecento, fa sfilare opere e nomi mostrando come il contesto mediatico, con le sue leggi e i suoi conflitti, diventi teatro di una rivincita autoriale, combattuta con la doppia arma dell’imitazione giornalistica e dell’invenzione romanzesca.
Critique et medium
Article de presse, livre, dictionnaire, entretien, chronique, émission télévisée ou radiophonique, site web, blog... la critique d'art se déploie à travers des supports dont la diversité et les impacts spécifiques se trouvent souvent négligés au profit d'analyses centrées sur le jugement esthétique des auteurs et les valeurs qu'ils défendent. Mais les significations peuvent-elles être indépendantes du canal matériel et du processus éditorial par lequel elles s'expriment ? Qu'il s'y adapte ou qu'il les déjoue, le discours critique fait siennes les contraintes d'un médium qui structure en profondeur les composantes de son message. Non seulement le médium prescrit le format ...
Laugh Lines
"Laugh Lines: Caricaturing Painting in Nineteenth-Century France is the first book-length study of a practice known as "Salon caricature," a practice that flourished in the Parisian illustrated press in the second half of the nineteenth century. Salon caricaturists, art critics who used both picture and text, published comic, graphic versions of the canvases concurrently on display at the Paris Salon, the most important exhibition of fine art in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The booming trade in cheaply-illustrated journals and albums broadcast these canvases-in-caricature to a readership eventually reaching the hundreds of thousands that expected and relished this annua...

Que sommes-nous ? D'où venons-nous ? Où allons-nous ? L'évolution est un ensemble des changements subis au cours des temps géologiques par les lignées animales et végétales, ayant eu pour résultat l'apparition de formes nouvelles, nous dit-on. Sous cet angle optique, elle est un mouvement général et universel à base de mutations successives dans les degrés de développement de la conscience, et dans lequel tous les règnes sont imbriqués, qu'ils soient minéral, végétal, animal ou humain. Inexorablement, il y a un "enchevêtremnt", une "solidarité" et une "complémentarité" entre les espèces et les règnes, en application générale de la loi d'évolution et de progression ...
