  • Paris: Capital of Cultural Theory and Postmodernism
    Paris: Capital of Cultural Theory and Postmodernism Matt Evans, Comp. Lit. Major ’08 Paris is most astounding in the early morning, when the daily clamor sleeps and one is left alone with the city’s monumental architecture and relentlessly inspiring occidental design. It is at these moments when you are left gaping at the most stunning testimony of the fatter portion of modern civilization’s aesthetic achievements. As the bakers knead away and the markets prop their first tents, you can seamlessly recall all the pre-war homage to the City of Lights: Hemmingway’s A Movable Feast, Orwell’s Down and Out, or Stein’s salon utopias. Words no longer seem necessary, for it all seems to make sense on a proto-linguistic level, which appropriately enough was one of the artistic visions of that particular time. There were countless times when I had this early morning to myself, and they remain beyond worth. However, if this is the Paris you except and desire when you go there to study, you will be disappointed. Because although Paris is most astounding in the early morning—especially for those curious travelers who despise the constant chatter of snap shots and wailing tour guides—it is only “morning” for so long. The rest of the day is quite different. For so long Paris has been a destination to consume culture and history. After all, the Parisians play their roles well if it means that they can take advantage of eager travelers and study-abroad students. But much of the city, if approached in this manner, will dishearten, and furthermore consume the countless visitors it receives daily.

  • What Is a World Capital of Culture? the Case of Paris Kjetil Jakobsen
    What is a World Capital of Culture? The Case of Paris Kjetil Jakobsen Paris invented the notion of modern art and that of the avant-garde. She exercised undisputed hegemony over modern art and literature from the mid- nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, when New York “stole” the concept. Pioneering works of the 1930s like Roger Caillois’ Le mythe et l’homme and Walter Benjamin’s Passagen-werk indicated the existence of a secret generative link between the mythology of Paris as “capital of modernity” and the discourses of modern art and literature.1 The line of research was reopened in the 1990s and early 2000s in major studies by Patrice Higonnet, Christophe Charle, Pascale Casanova, Christopher Prendergast and Karlheinz Stierle.2 These writers are in intimate dialogue with some of the most important forms of cultural theory in the 20th century. Higonnet combines Roger Caillois’ theory of the mythology of the metropolis as frame for interpretation and action with Habermasian ideas of public space. Charle, a cultural historian and Casanova, a scholar of comparative literature, both draw primarily on the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. Prendergast uses deconstructive approaches, tracing the readability and blur of a 19th century Paris stretched out between “Paris the political and cultural capital”, dominating its territory and “Paris, the metropolis”, network of cultural exchange. One type of cultural theory is lacking, though. A world capital of culture is a capital of mediation. It mediates worldwide and is mediated worldwide. Yet none of the above see the problem as one of media studies and media theory.

  • PARIS Drizzles’, As Cole Porter Put It
    © Lonely Planet Publications 108 PARIS PARIS Paris Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the grandness and the magic of strolling along the city’s broad avenues, which lead from impressive public buildings and exceptional museums to parks, gardens and esplanades. With more famous landmarks than any other city in the world, the French capital evokes all sorts of expectations for first-time visitors: of grand vistas, of intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude people who won’t speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find all of those. But another approach is to set aside the preconceptions of Paris that are so much a part of English-speaking culture, and to explore the city’s avenues and backstreets as though the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame weren’t about to pop into view at any moment. You’ll soon discover (as so many others before you have) that Paris is enchanting almost everywhere, at any time, even ‘in the summer, when it sizzles’ and ‘in the winter, when it drizzles’, as Cole Porter put it. And you’ll be back. Trust us. HIGHLIGHTS Introduce yourself to one of Paris’ new museums: the architecturally stunning (and content- rich) Musée du Quai Branly ( p152 ) or the Cité de l’Architecture
