Everyman’s Reincarnations: Of Men, Monkeys, and Moralities by Christiane Fioupou

“…Si la pièce médiévale a longtemps suscité des controverses quant à l’antériorité ou non du Everyman anglais sur le Elckerlijc hollandais, le Everyman yorouba d’Obotunde Ijimere soulève des questions importantes quant à l’identité de son auteur et au rôle de son traducteur, Ulli Beier, ouvrant ainsi le débat sur le statut même de l’artiste yorouba et de sa place dans la tradition.…”

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 (In)Human Condition by Vicky Angelaki

The particular focus of the article is the depiction of animality in Simon Stephens's play and the rich signification that it accomplishes in a piece that effectively proceeds from the detective fiction genre to offer wide-ranging, bold and experimental theatrical representation. …”

“…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. …”
