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/991 This article aims to interpret the myth of Medea as an experience of strangeness based on a nietzschean understanding of the experience. Indeed, Medea is able to disturb our « pulsional configuration », which means shifting the balance power and overturning the way of organizing our human experience. To achieve this, we propose to follow four artistic interpretations of this myth: Medea in the Pasolini’s and Seneca’s works, the staging of the Cherubini’s opera by Krzysztof Warlikowski, and Medea Stimmen of Christa Wolf. mar., 16 janv. 2024 11:58:06 +0100 mer., 17 janv. 2024 14:35:58 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/991
