SUMMARY
After the key moments of the livre d'artiste (fromManet/Mallarmé to Picasso/Reverdy) and Surrealist art, how did thetext/image relationship evolve in twentieth-century French culture? Bywhat epistemological and aesthetic frameworks was it determined and, inturn, what new signs and practices, what new meanings did it produce?This book offers a series of answers to these questions by looking atseveral case studies including Marguerite Duras' filmic rewriting,Pierre Klossowski's shift from writing to painting, contemporaryvideo-poetry, Gilles Deleuze's philosophical engagement with Bacon andGiacometti, and CD-Rom aesthetics. What brings the various essays inthis volume together is a challenging new reading of the text/imagerelationship as a porous boundary through which texts andimages no longer merely illustrate or stand by each other butinterpenetrate, hybridise or restructure one another.
