An interpretation based on Benjamin’s theory of language is proposed for the gesture of dance that gives Jane Avril her name. Although Benjamin’s reference to the Paris in which Jane Avril performs remains crucial, the key to the reading suggested here refers above all to concepts such as “Entsetzen”, “pure mediality”, “mimesis” and “shame”, to explore if and how Jane Avril’s “language” is related to a possible theory of “destituent potentiality”. mer., 26 juin 2024 10:07:52 +0200 mar., 29 oct. 2024 09:51:48 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1368 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/261 The reading of Kafka's work highlights his attention to architectural language. From "the room" that characterizes The metamorphosis, through the recurrence of "doors" and "windows", architecture becomes one of the principal elements that link narrative representation to the outside world. This is why we propose a cross reading of his work starting from two different but complementary texts: first, Michelle Perrot's Histoire de chambres (Seuil, 2009), then L'Instauration du tableau, Meta-painting at dawn Modern Times (Droz, 1993) by art historian Victor Stoichita. mer., 29 nov. 2023 11:04:28 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 09:21:08 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/261 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/724 The contribution examines four topics in Malevich’s writings on film: the images of rubbery eroticism that are striking in Malevich’s discussion of film; the opposition of dead and alive, attributed to painting and film; the connection of dynamics and perception and disconnection of mimesis and perception and the way how Malevich conceptualized it for film and painting; Malevich’s effort to elaborate a new language of description for visual and literary phenomena, to find the language that fixes the transition from visuality to literacy and vice versa. ven., 12 janv. 2024 09:13:45 +0100 ven., 12 janv. 2024 09:14:03 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/724
