CONTEMPORARY FRENCH & FRANCOPHONE STUDIES (SITES)
Published by Routledge
Roger Célestin, Eliane DalMolin, editors.
At a time when the question of emotions has returned to the heart of critical inquiry, reflection on a fundamental relation of artistic activity is in order: activity that links sensation to interpretation, the sensory to the signifier, the senses to meaning—in other words, the esthetic relation. If perception is the basis of our experience, nourishing and shaping our cognitive activity, we must also consider the supporting structures that mediate our senses. Thus, our relationship to the world, its apprehension by our senses, is also conditioned by the transformation, the diffusion and the organization operated by technical systems (writing, printing, graphic imaging, audiovisual recording, digitalization, etc.). This volume proposes to envisage the arts as privileged spaces of the multiple and fleeting articulation of—but also the numerous tensions and frictions between—the sensate apprehension of the world and its intelligible comprehension. Proposals are invited from the fields of literatures in French, literary theory, cultural, gender and postcolonial studies, translation, and the arts, such as music, cinema and photography.
