... Valérie Jouve montre le pourtour des villes, ces espaces "libres de fonctions, sans qualité"; si des personnages interviennent, isolés, acteurs malgré eux, ils sont saisis comme par effraction pour être confrontés à l'architecture.
Contemporary Photography in France
This compelling publication traces the broad arc of photography’s development in France from the 1970s to the present day. A decade-by-decade account reveals unexpected points of convergence between practices that are not usually considered in a comparative perspective. These include photographic practices in contemporary art, documentary, photojournalism, and fashion. Author Olga Smith sets these practices in dialogue with French philosophy – the writings of Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Rancière – to produce an innovative study of the intersections between the photographic image, text, practice, and theory. This analysis is guided by an understanding of photography as deeply engaged with historical, cultural, and intellectual events that defined French national experience in the contemporary period. Landscape provides a particular focus to study issues of key significance, including national identification, colonial past, legacies of modernization and environmental breakdown.

This text offers different perspectives from which to view social, political and cultural ideas about the city and urbanism, through both verbal discussion and photographic representation. It provides introductions to theoretical conceptions of the city that are useful to photographers addressing urban issues, as well as d...
Corpus III
A beautiful, profound series of reflections on the body by one of the most prominent and consequential philosophers of continental Europe This landmark volume brings into English Jean-Luc Nancy’s last completed work and concludes his remarkable philosophical reflections on the body, a project he began almost thirty years ago. Taking the body as an intersection of pulsing life and destructive cruelty on a global scale, Nancy’s account becomes more vivid, more physical, than ever, even as it ventures into language that is as lyrical as it is profound. This vividness is manifest in blood: as it flows, in all its pulsing and forceful circulation, and as it spills, in the cruelty of existence...
Valérie Jouve
Encore une fois, les photographies de Valérie Jouve ne se contentent pas de répéter l'expérience de l'aliénation urbaine car ce qui fait retour en elle, au titre de " tout juste passé ", ce n'est pas seulement la perte de capacité de la photographie à véhiculer le sens, mais celle de l'espace urbain lui-même. Tentatives de se réveiller dans la pénombre de l'instant vécu, elles nous font ressentir la difficulté qu'il y a à appréhender le fait que le domaine urbain ne porte plus, aujourd'hui, d'aspirations à l'expérience individuelle et collective comme il a pu le faire auparavant. Ces aspirations auront finalement été absorbées par la dématérialisation croissante de l'e...
