  • Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar
    Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Roger Caillois, Games of Chance and the Superstar Loek Groot Superstars are not by accident a conspicuous phenomenon in our culture, but inherently belong to a meritocratic society with mass media, free enterprise, and competition. To make this contention plausible I will use Caillois’s book, Man, Play and Games,1 to compare the mechanisms underlying the superstar phenomenon with a special kind of game, as set out by Caillois. As far as I know, Caillois’s book is not quoted in the literature dealing with income distribution theories, although the comparison with play and games is, for limited purposes, interesting. In play and games we find almost all elements which play a role in theories of just income distribution: equality of opportunity, chance, talent, competition and skill, reward, entitlement, winners and losers, etc. These are not chance similarities, for “. games are largely dependent upon the cultures in which they are practised. They affect their preferences, prolong their customs, and reflect their beliefs . One ...can . posit a truly reciprocal relationship between a society and the games it likes to play”.2 Moreover, as we will see, superstars combine the four basic characteristics of play that make their activities a special kind of play. Play or work Johan Huizinga,3 cited by Caillois, considers play as an activity which is not serious (that is, standing outside ordinary life), with no material interest and where no profit can be gained. Caillois disputes Huizinga’s belief that in games no material interests are involved. He sees this belief as a result of Huizinga’s restriction of his analysis to competitive games, and the consequent omission of games of chance.

  • Acción Surrealista Y Medios De Intervención. El Surrealismo En Las Revistas, 1930 – 1939
    Acción surrealista y medios de intervención. El surrealismo en las revistas, 1930 – 1939 Javier MAÑERO RODICIO CES Felipe II, Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Entregado: 19/9/2012 Aceptado: 4/7/2013 RESUMEN Sobre la base de un estudio previo, El surrealismo en las revistas 1919 – 1929, pero de forma autónoma, se aborda a continuación la segunda década surrealista, revisitada siempre al hilo de las revistas que aglutinaron al movimiento. Tras analizar desde Un cadavre la dimensión de la crisis del grupo hacia el cambio de década, asistimos a la adaptación del surrealismo a las extremas condiciones políticas de los años 30 con su revista El surrealismo al servicio de la Revolución. Pero también, y al mismo tiempo, al momento de su máxima difusión y aceptación, particularmente a través del arte. La revista Minotaure será la principal manifestación de este proceso, aunque también son tenidas aquí en cuenta otras cabe- ceras. Palabras clave: Surrealismo, Revistas de arte, A. Breton, G. Bataille, Le surréalisme au service de la Révolution, Documents 34, Minotaure, Cahiers d’Art. Surreal action and means of intervention. Surrealism in the magazines, from 1930 to 1939 ABSTRACT Following on from the previous study, Surrealism in Magazines 1919 – 1929, the second Surrealist decade is now focussed on – at all times with regard to the magazines that united together around the movement. After analysing in Un cadavre the effects of the crisis of 1929, we witness Surrealism’s adap- tation to the extreme political panorama of the 1930’s with the magazine Surrealism in the service of the revolution.

  • Art on the Page
    Art on the page Toward a modern illustrated book When Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard issued his first publication, Parallèlement, in 1900, a collection of poems by Paul Verlaine illustrated with lithographs by Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, he ushered in a new form of illustrated book to mark the new century. In the following decades, he and other entrepreneurial art publishers such as Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Albert Skira would take advantage of a widening pool of book collectors interested in modern art by producing deluxe books that featured original prints by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, André Derain and others. These books are generally referred to as livres des artistes and, unlike the fine press publications produced by the Kelmscott Press, the Doves Press or Ashendene Press, the earliest examples were distinguished by their modernity. Breon Mitchell, in his introduction to Beyond illustration, argues that the livre d’artiste can be differentiated from the traditional book in several respects: The illustrations are, in each case, original works of art (woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, engravings) executed by the artist himself and printed under his supervision. The book thus contains original graphics of the kind which find their place on museum walls … The livre d’artiste is also defined by the stature of the artist. Virtually every major painter and sculptor of the twentieth century—Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Matisse, Kokoschka, Barlach, Miró, to name a few—has collaborated in the creation of one or more such works. In many cases, book illustration has occupied such an important place in the total oeuvre of the artist that no student of art history can safely ignore it.

  • Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf
    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

Minneman 1 Ginger Minneman Final Project Essay MA in Humanities candidate Francis Poulenc and Surrealism I. Introduction While it is true that surrealism was first and foremost a literary movement with strong ties to the world of art, and not usually applied to musicians, I believe the composer Francis Poulenc was so strongly influenced by this movement, that he could be considered a surrealist, in the same way that Debussy is regarded as an impressionist and Schönberg an expressionist; especially given that the artistic movement in the other two cases is a loose fit at best and does not apply to the entirety of their output. In this essay, which served as the basis for my lecture recital, I will examine some of the basic ideals of surrealism and show how Francis Poulenc embodies and embraces surrealist ideals in his persona, his music, his choice of texts and his compositional methods, or lack thereof.

  • Theatre of the Absurd : Its Themes and Form
    THE THEATRE OF THE ABSURD: ITS THEMES AND FORM by LETITIA SKINNER DACE A. B., Sweet Briar College, 1963 A MASTER'S THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of Speech KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1967 Approved by: c40teA***u7fQU(( rfi" Major Professor il PREFACE Contemporary dramatic literature is often discussed with the aid of descriptive terms ending in "ism." Anthologies frequently arrange plays under such categories as expressionism, surrealism, realism, and naturalism. Critics use these designations to praise and to condemn, to denote style and to suggest content, to describe a consistent tone in an author's entire ouvre and to dissect diverse tendencies within a single play. Such labels should never be pasted to a play or cemented even to a single scene, since they may thus stifle the creative imagi- nation of the director, actor, or designer, discourage thorough analysis by the thoughtful viewer or reader, and distort the complex impact of the work by suppressing whatever subtleties may seem in conflict with the label. At their worst, these terms confine further investigation of a work of art, or even tempt the critic into a ludicrous attempt to squeeze and squash a rounded play into a square pigeon-hole. But, at their best, such terms help to elucidate theme and illuminate style. Recently the theatre public's attention has been called to a group of avant - garde plays whose philosophical propensities and dramatic conventions have been subsumed under the title "theatre of the absurd." This label describes the profoundly pessimistic world view of play- wrights whose work is frequently hilarious theatre, but who appear to despair at the futility and irrationality of life and the inevitability of death.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

The Other Caillois: the many masks of game studies Journal:For Games Peer and Culture Review Manuscript ID Draft Manuscript Type: Caillois Special Issue Roger Caillois, Game studies, Dissymmetry, Gamification, Keywords: Interdisciplinarity, Mimicry, Ludus, Paidia, Marxism, Agency, Alea, Ilinx The legacy of the rich, stratified work of Roger Caillois, the multi-faceted and complex French scholar and intellectual, seems to have almost solely impinged on game studies through his most popular work, Les Jeux et les Hommes (1957). Translated in English as Man, Play and Games (1961), this is the text which popularized Caillois’ ideas among those who do study and research on games and game cultures today, and which most often Abstract: appears in publications that attempt to historicize and introduce to the study of games––perhaps on a par with Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens (1938). The purpose of this paper is to introduce the papers and general purposes of a collected edition that aims to shift the attention of game scholars towards a more nuanced and comprehensive view of Roger Caillois, beyond the textbook interpretations usually received in game studies over the last decade or so. http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sage/games Page 1 of 16 Games and Culture 1 2 3 4 5 6 Introduction––The Other Caillois: the many masks of game studies 7 8 9 10 11 The legacy of the multi-faceted and complex work of Roger Caillois, the French scholar and 12 intellectual, seems to have almost solely impinged on game studies through his most popular 13 work, Les Jeux et les Hommes (1957).

  • Louis Aragon Was One of France's Most Prolific, Prominent, and Contro
    Jennifer Stafford Brown "AU FEU DE CE QUI FUT BRULE CE QUI SERA": LOUIS ARAGON AND THE SUBVERSIVE MEDIEVAL ouis Aragon was one of France's most prolific, prominent, and contro­ Lversial modern poets, causing strong reactions even among those he supported. As a novelist, a poet, an art critic, a member of the surrealist move­ ment and the French Resistance, and an active member of the PCF, he was throughout his long life a major figure of the French cultural landscape. From his well-known surrealist poetry to his cycle of socialist realist novels to the difficult postmodern works he wrote late in his life, his wildly diverse body of writing leaves no shortage of work for biographers and scholars. Aragon never accepted the status quo. As a surrealist, and later as an ardent Communist, he pushed the boundaries of metaphor, image, and style while passionately advocating literary and social change. During the turbulent years that led up to World War II, however, as well as during the war itself, the nature of his work changed subtly. Aragon, faced with national crisis, turned to the creation of a national myth. For him, as for many other authors, this new sense of nationalism had its roots in the Middle Ages. His contemporaries, as well as his later critics, were bewildered and intrigued by the unexpected source for this myth, going as it did against so many of his social and authorial sensibili­ ties: "Le projet d'Aragon est ala fois ideologique et poetique. II recherche les moyens d'une expression nationale, ou pour mieux dire franr;aise, a la fois populaire et savante ..

So this is the penumbra cast over these ‘late letters.’ Often refused opiates in the asylum for intestinal pains Artaud complained of, the doctors thinking Artaud was merely gaming for drugs, these were likely the first symptoms of the rectal cancer Artaud developed. Not told of this eventual medical diagnosis, nevertheless Artaud realized an end was near. One of Artaud’s very closest confidants, one of his filles du coeur, naître, Paule Thévenin, claimed Artaud died when and likely how he wanted.
