Grey’s Anatomy and Covid-19: A Conversation
This conversation examines how Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 2005-), one of television’s longest-running medical dramas, addressed the Covid-19 pandemic in its seventeenth season (2020-2021). As scholars specializing in television studies, American history and anglophone literature, but also as fans, we discuss the use of melodramatic conventions and long-form seriality to process collective trauma during the pandemic. The discussion analyzes the season’s…
Executive functioning and academic performance in preadolescent children with congenital heart disease

Seventy-one children aged 8 to 11 years old with CHD underwent a neur…
Entre common et commons: Penser / dire / imaginer la communauté avec / après Raymond Williams
Les catégories « Common » et « Community » figurent parmi les termes listés dans l’essai Keywords publié par Raymond Williams en 1976 ; et bien que le concept de « commons » ne soit pas strictement synonyme des mots-clés « common » et « community » définis par Williams tout au long de son œuvre, il est éclairant de comprendre comment la pensée de Williams entre en dialogue avec la pensée contemporaine de la communauté et des « commons ». La généa…
Contemporary Art’s Thanatic Work: Re-embodying the (Absent) Migrant Body
Contemporary art has insistently turned to the experience of migration with a view to making us see, and possibly to making us indirectly experience and reflect on the embodied politics of migration. The documentary mode has featured prominently in art’s attempt at accounting for the reality of global migration. Other strategies have privileged a combination of allegory and empiricist experientiality, artists thus aiming at triggering an embodied…

Vibrant Allegories: Questioning Immunity with Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet (2016–2020)
La pandémie du COVID-19 confère à la philosophie politique de Roberto Esposito et à son concept central d’immunité une pertinence particulière. Son essai Immunitas. The Protection and Negation of Life (publié en 2002 et traduit en anglais en 2011) confronte l’allégorie du corps politique à la biopolitique de la modernité. Les paradigmes structurants de son essai – parmi lesquels « l’immunité commune » – sont ainsi essentiels à notre compréhension…
Bacon en toutes lettres: Exhibition review –Centre Pompidou, Paris, 11 September 2019 – 20 January 2020
Imagining new curatorial approaches to revisit Francis Bacon's work offers a challenge in more than one way, maybe all the more so when the exhibition is thought through for a foreign public. Bacon en toutes lettres, on view at The Centre Pompidou in the Autumn of 2019 and early weeks of 2020 was meant to be one of the highlights of Paris' artistic season-a season that will no doubt remain one of the most stimulating ones in recent years. When el…
In the Turbine of Experimentation: Tate Modern and the New (?) Rationale of Collective Performance
Artistic experimentation, as well as the concepts elaborated to define it, have undergone considerable changes since the age of the avant-gardes and yet experimentation still retains some of its critical purchase. The present article focuses on recent experimentations in the field of installation and performance art and on the way these works may enlighten us on the kind of critical leverage offered by aesthetic experimentation in its complex and…

Christopher Nolan’s Inception: Spectacular speculations
Hollywood has never ceased revisiting its own visual language. With the globalization of visual culture, this re-visioning necessarily implies that we look at Hollywood from decentred perspectives that reveal how Hollywood’s visual idiom is part of a shifting, hybrid culture made of the structural experimentations of video art, of manga and video games culture. Such visual globalization also implies we reread Hollywood from the point of view of c…
Writing Capital, or, John Lanchester’s Debt to Realism
Le quatrième roman de John Lanchester, Capital (2012), offre un portrait satirique des excès du capitalisme, du fétichisme de la marchandise et de la globalisation. La structure chorale du roman transforme aussi le texte en roman-monde. Il embrasse les vies interdépendantes de protagonistes qui, chacun, incarnent une facette d’un présent densément ramifié. Retravaillant les principes de base du réalisme, le roman s’approprie le langage du matéria…

When the real matters: Interpreting the visual with Catherine Belsey
Focusing on Catherine Belsey's interest in understanding the intimate link of visual perception with the Lacanian real, this article traces the evolution of her interpretation of visual art from her initial allegorical approach to visual language to her engagement with contemporary art. So doing, it also focuses on the way contemporary art dislocates and defamiliarises the gaze. Turning to artists who also feature in Culture and the Real – especi…
