Oscar Wilde and la critique impressionniste by Richard Hibbitt

“…It shows how Wilde’s views of criticism in the essays collected in Intentions are prefigured by Anatole France and Jules Lemaître, and how the dialogic discussion of art in ‘The Critic as Artist’ itself prefigures a real-life debate between France and the conservative critic Ferdinand Brunetière, who rejected the ‘subjective’ approach as ‘impressionist criticism’. …”

La représentation des paysages d’exil dans les arts visuels contemporains : l’exemple du film Parmi nous de Clément Cogitore by Ann Epoudry

“…Supporting this analysis with Clément Cogitore’s short fiction film Parmi nous (2011), which narrates the attempts of illegal migrants in exile to cross a border zone, we seek to understand how the constructed landscapes of the sets in the film reveal a symbolic and stereotyped landscape and how the relationship between the characters and the landscape, which the artist shows in this work, seems to reinvent the places travelled through and offer a new form of participation within the landscape.…”

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (Rob Zombie, 2009): An Animated Exploitation of Exploitation Cinema by Pierre Floquet

“…Yet the question remains as to whether the movie also means to play a controversial political role in showing what Hollywood films (both direct and animated) have repressed—the unseen of culture—or whether it is merely a distanced animated one-off in the directing career of a multi-skilled artist. This animation film is not just an adaptation of the eponymous graphic novel, but, rather, an exploitation of the tricks and clichés of exploitation cinema in the form of animated cinema. …”

La Jeune Grecque de David d’Angers ou le rêve brisé by Philippe Durey

“…This article sheds new light on this work, which is of both historical and artistic interest not only because the fate of the statue recounts a moment in the relations between two countries, France and Greece, but also because of the failed – and perhaps impossible – transplantation of an already-established artist reveals the difficult, long and painful cultural journey of a young nation in the European concert of the time.…”

Theatre and Psychoanalysis: or Jung on Martin Crimp's Stage: “100 Words” by Solange Ayache
