Les outils et technologies numériques, bien intégrés et invisibles, donnent lieu à des pratiques artistiques d'appropriation, de détournement, d'expérimentation et de création qui peuvent être abordées d'un point de vue poétique aussi bien que critique. L'étude des liens entre littératures et performances, entre performances et technologies ou littérature et numérique, ayant donné lieu ces dernières années à une production abondante, il s'agit, dans ce numéro de Formules 22...

Pour son numéro 17, Formules a souhaité inviter chercheurs et créateurs à arpenter et fouiller les « mondes contraints » – c’est-à-dire les univers de fiction engendrés par les créations à contraintes – et à s’interroger sur ce qui fait leur spécificité en regard des mondes fictionnels que nous offrent, plus généralement, les créations « non formelles ». Les relations entre contrainte et fiction ont été le plus souvent abordées sous l’angle de la production, du ...

The philosophical-poetical thought of Russian Symbolism is Russian art's process of reflection about itself - thought, dissolved into the myriad forms of art itself. This thought which informs all art is like dissolved salt except that this solute cannot be isolated from the solution. Without that water in which this salt is suspended, it simply does not exist. Hence the volume of this work - no sort of theoretical proof could exist without the citation of many lines of verse and philosophy. ...

Oulipo n'est pas une avant-garde. Depuis plus de soixante ans, ce groupe, fondé en 1961 par l'écrivain français Raymond Queneau et le mathématicien français François le Lionnais, est toujours actif. Caractérisé par sa nature multigénérationnelle, de 1961 à aujourd'hui, l’Oulipo a réuni des personnalités littéraires et culturelles aussi diverses que Raymond Queneau, Georges Perec, Italo Calvino, Harry Mathews, Ross Chambers, Jacques Roubaud, Marcel Bénabou, Michelle Grangaud, ...

The feminine, or 'Woman,' was one of the main inspirations in Modernismo's expression, and the still current exclusion of women poets from this movement's canon is contrary to its own foundational concepts of innovation, rupture and the importance of personal expression. This book examines the philosophical and epistemological underpinnings of Modernismo to show that there were indeed women who expressed beauty, broke with tradition and, in their search for a female Modernista voice, were inn...

Dividuals explores the other side, or hidden side of modern subjectivity, as seen in (mostly four) early modern Spanish classics. Veering away from the hypertrophied notions of individuality and identity, which constitute the bases of our own post-humanism and even anti-humanism, this essay looks into how, as humans, and as humanists, we have a long history of showing dividuality, a never-ending split in our beings. The split manifests itself in the humanist’s split between historicist, soc...

Ernest George Henham (1870-1948), writing both under his own name and with the pseudonym of "John Trevena," has until now been a "lost" writer, yet of remarkable achievement; indeed, he is a writer of greater range and power than any other West Country author with the possible exception of the more celebrated Thomas Hardy-who remains very much in print. Nevertheless, Henham/ Trevena also is surely a masterful English language novelist and a cultural figure of courage and vision, responding to...
