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.

Tourism

Spring Summer 2024

Because it is essential for it to be open to the world, art is particularly affected by concerns related to planetary travel. From a position at the intersection of contemporary art, leisure, ecology, and destination culture, Esse no. 111 observes artists’ and critical thinkers’ strategies for revisiting the very notion of tourism. Although the harmful impacts of the tourism industry are beyond question, the thematic section avoids falling prey to tourismphobia and simply pointing out its failures. Rather, this issue offers a guided tour of situations and places where art and tourism converge.
