Le Symbolisme des jeux de Jean-Marie Lhôte était depuis longtemps introuvable. Cette édition reprend fidèlement le texte paru en 1976 (à quelques modifications près, très mineures). En particulier, le texte d'origine étant rédigé à la première personne, cette singularité a été conservée, comme si le "jeu' était aussi le "je'. Le mot "symbolisme' est à prendre ici au sens large, avec légèreté ; les jeux sont regardés avec sympathie, analysés dans leurs formes, comparés entre eux et mis en résonance entre l'homme et le monde. Ce voyage à travers les jeux comporte quatre étapes : " L'ordre du monde " – jeux considérés selon la forme de leurs supports dans l'affron...

In Odd Man Out, Carol Armstrong offers an important study of Edgar Degas's work and reputation. Armstrong grapples with contradictory portrayals of Degas as "odd man out" within the modernist canon: he was a realist whom realists rejected; a storyteller in pictures who did not satisfy novelist-critics; a painter of modern life who was not a modernist; a member of the impressionist group who was no impressionist. Armstrong confronts these and other paradoxes by analyzing the critical vocabularies used to describe Degas's work. By reading several groups of the artist's images through the lens of a sequence of critical texts, Armstrong shows how our critical and popular expectations of Degas are overturned and subverted. This is a reprint of the book first published by the University of Chicago Press in 1991.

Challenging the prevailing notion among cinephiles that the auteur is an isolated genius interested primarily in individualism, Colin Burnett positions Robert Bresson as one whose life's work confronts the cultural forces that helped shape it. Regarded as one of film history's most elusive figures, Bresson (1901–1999) carried himself as an auteur long before cultural magazines, like the famed Cahiers du cinéma, advanced the term to describe such directors as Jacques Tati, Alfred Hitchcock, and Jean-Luc Godard. In this groundbreaking study, Burnett combines biography with cultural history to uncover the roots of the auteur in the alternative cultural marketplace of midcentury France.
