Virginia Woolf : l’écriture en tableau

Virginia Woolf : l’écriture en tableau

Publication | Critiques

Résumé

La peinture, comme la littérature, a fait partie de la vie de Virginia Woolf : de manière différente, se posant comme un art tout à la fois rival, complémentaire, avant-gardiste, et toujours matriciel dans la dynamique de l’écriture woolfienne. La peinture informe et déforme les choix sémantiques, syntaxiques, phonétiques, métaphoriques, doublant la stratégie narrative dans un jeu de spécularité et donnant à la texture de la prose sa couleur profonde dans de multiples échanges avec le visible.

Critiques

• “This important volume from an authoritative international team of authors sheds significant new light on the comparative development of post-war Conservatism in the western world.”
  – Stuart Ball, Professor Emeritus, University of Leicester, UK
• “The rich essays collected in this illuminating volume show that the rise of right-wing politics in the United Kingdom, the United States, and France since the 1970s was a remarkably transnational phenomenon. As they attacked social democracy and cultural pluralism, right-wing movements borrowed ideas, visions, vocabularies, and tactics from each other, adapting them to their own national idioms and using advances in one country to win advances elsewhere. Anyone interested in confronting the problems that have proliferated in the wake the right’s reconfiguration of politics – surging inequality, belligerent ethno-nationalism, worker disempowerment and insecurity, and lost faith in the capacity for democratic self-government – has much to learn about the origins of these problems from this important book.”
