PUBLIC LECTURE: Jérôme Game

Department of Western Languages & Literatures cordially invites you to a lecture by Dr. Jérôme Game of American University of Paris. This public lecture examines the recent developments, in the last twenty years, of poetic experimentation in French culture : How do contemporary writers negotiate the legacy of one hundred years of avant-gardist literary practice ? How to they introduce new procedures and media, such as sound and video recording, in their work ? What is the esthetic status of multi-media performances given today ? What is the role played by the voice and the body in poetic readings ? All these questions, and others, will be addressed from a theoretical and critical point of view so as to present a wide panorama of the profuse and very rich poetic production taking place in France today. Excerpts of various recordings and videos will be heard and shown. Jérôme Game will also give a reading of his work.
