At a time when writers and artists are increasingly describing their practices as ‘projects’, remarkably little critical attention has been paid to the actual idea of the ‘project’. This collection of essays responds to an urgent need by suggesting a framework for evaluating the notion of the project in the light of various modernist and postmodernist cultural practices, drawn mainly but not exclusively from the French-speaking domain. The overview offered by this volume promises to makes an original and thought-provoking contribution to contemporary literary, artistic and cultural criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Tracking the Art of the Project: History, Theory, Practice\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJohnnie Gratton\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMichael Sheringham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Man Ray’s Endgame and Other Modernist Gambits\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eWendy Grossman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Projected Journeys: Exploring the Limits of Travel\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eCharles Forsdick\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e What does Reality Television Threaten?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eIngrid Wassenaar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Programming and Play: Life Drive and Death Drive in the Work of Georges Perec, Roman Opalka and Jean-Benoît Puech\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDominique Rabaté\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eLes Glaneurs et la glaneuse\u003c\/i\u003e: Salvage and the Art of Forgetting\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEmma Wilson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Games with the Gaze: Sophie Calle’s Postmodern Phototextuality\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKate Ince\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e On the Subject of the Project\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJohnnie Gratton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e The Art of the \u003ci\u003eGrand projet\u003c\/i\u003e: Malraux’s Imaginary Museum and its Contemporary Legacy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDouglas Smith\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Experimenting with Identity: People, Place and Urban Change in Contemporary French Photography\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEdward Welch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Programmes and Projects in the Contemporary Literary Field\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDominique Viart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e The Project and the Everyday: François Bon’s Experiments in Attention\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMichael Sheringham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Foucault: Life as a Work of Art\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePatrick Ffrench\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041425719639,"sku":"9781571816498","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571816498.jpg?v=1750950228","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-project-projects-and-experiments-in-modern-french-culture-9781571816498","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
