[The place,] that is, where beauty is named’. This place, Gérard Titus-Carmel may feel, lies no doubt impossibly beyond the strict locus of his art and his writing, but it is a place he has struggled with dignity and unceasingly deployed energy to bring to a semblance of incarnation in a vast plastic and poetical oeuvre that has stirred, and will continue to stir, the minds and hearts of all those – from Derrida and Bonnefoy, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Pascal Quignard to Jacques Dupin and Marie-Claire Bancquart, and countless others – who have witnessed its exquisitely solemn unfolding over, today, more than forty years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword  Chapter 1: From Hot Dogs and Bananas to Deterioration and Alteration: Form, Idea, Being  Chapter 2: Joaquin’s Love Affair  Chapter 3: The Cryptic and the Necessary, Deambulation and Sticks Chapter 4: From Coffins to Italiana and Riggings, Shop Curtains and Narwa  Chapter 5: Accompanying the Other: From Chardin, Goya and Caillebotte to Bonnard, Crane and Roud  Chapter 6: Falling and Flowing Chapter 7: The Self Accompanied: From Robbe-Grillet, Rossi and Roche to Commère, Bancquart and Bonnefoy Chapter 8: Excavation and Forgetting, Embankment and Abyss  Chapter 9: From Shadows, Interiors and Seasons to Cairns, Forests and Nielli  Chapter 10: Questions of Presence and Manners of Darkness  Chapter 11: Leafings, Jungles and Herbarium  Chapter 12: Today  Selected Bibliography","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210900103511,"sku":"9789042021655","price":59.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-endless-theory-of-days-the-art-and-poetry-of-gerard-titus-carmel-9789042021655","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
