Extimité ou le désir de s’exposer

Fall 2006

[In French] Reality TV, personal webcam sites, and the more recent phenomenon of blogs are all platforms where individuals stage certain aspects of their intimacy. This issue deals with the theme of “extimité” from two distinct perspectives: on the one hand according to Serge Tisseron’s definition, that is to say as an intimacy that has been exteriorized and displayed with more or less reserve; on the other hand, on focusing instead on the showing of the self in the varying contexts of the self’s staging.

Abstractions

Spring Summer 2025

Yet what about abstraction today? Long confined to formalist and self-referential imperatives, abstraction has gradually freed itself from the modernism yolk to recapture its evocative power. This issue proposes to turn away from the dogma of Abstraction as a historical genre to consider its various plastic and semantic avenues. In this invitation to explore abstractions, we wish to re-establish a dialogue between content and form, between the political and the poetic, by engaging with works that evoke reality differently. Whether they are qualified as abstract, non-figurative, or non-objective, these works certainly tell us stories.
