Abstract

Sortie des presses d'une compagnie de libraires parisiens, "L'Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures" de Bernard de Montfaucon compte parmi les grands musées de papier de l'ère moderne. Elle imprime pour un large public une nouvelle manière de percevoir l'Antiquité. Pour ce faire, les oeuvres des cabinets des collectionneurs et les monuments ont été dessinés, reproduits par la gravure et accompagnés d'explications par l'auteur. Dans le même moment, de nouvelles découvertes élargissent la connaissance du passé et lui donnent corps en le faisant surgir du sol. L'écho de cet essai d'archéologie se poursuit jusqu'à nos jours. Le présent livre rassemble les contributions de spécialistes reconnus, mettant à disposition des documents nouveaux et des points de vue inédits sur la genèse et la réception du livre. Juliette Jestaz a extrait de sa thèse de l'Ecole des chartes (1995) plusieurs pièces qu'elle a mise à jour pour cet ouvrage.

Abstract

A new approach to the traditional Lectura Dantis: Dante scholars study selected cantos while also taking into consideration the illustrations of those cantos, thus engaging with illustrations as interpretation, and further considering the Commedia from the perspective of its ekphrastic nature. This volume contains an unprecedented meeting of two major traditions, each of which are forms of careful engagement with Dante’s Commedia: the Lectura Dantis, and the illustrations of this work. The Lectura Dantis, initiated by Giovanni Boccaccio in the fourteenth century, consists of a canto by canto study of Dante’s poem. The history of Commedia illustration has equally deep roots, as illuminated manuscripts of the text were being produced within decades of the work’s completion in 1321. While both of these traditions have continued, mostly uninterruptedly, for more than six hundred years, they have never been directly brought together. In this volume, Dante scholars take on a single canto of the Commedia of their choosing, reading not just the text, but also exploring the illustrations of their selected text to form multifaceted and multi-layered visual-textual readings. In addition to enlivening the Lectura Dantis, and confronting the illustrated tradition of the poem in a new fashion, these studies present a variety of approaches to studying not just the Commedia but any illustrated literary work through a serious inquiry into the words themselves as well as the images that these words have inspired.

Abstract

Nicole Claveloux, Etienne Delessert, Patrick Couratin, France de Ranchin, Bernard Bonhomme... Qu'ont donc ces illustrateurs en commun ? Tous ont pris part, dès le milieu des années 1960, au grand renouveau du livre pour enfants. Une génération de créateurs d'images et d'histoires, voyageant entre New York et Paris, travaillant pour la publicité et l'édition, ne s'interdisant rien. Aux côtés d'éditeurs exigeants, d'une presse enfantine novatrice, et tout en revendiquant des influences pop, psychédéliques et surréalistes, ils ont, vingt ans durant, révolutionné l'édition française par leur bouillonnement créatif. Découvrez grâce aux dessins originaux, premières éditions et affiches, que Loïc Boyer présente dans cette monographie, la diversité graphique et narrative de créateurs qui ont durablement marqué l'imaginaire de tous ceux qui ont tenu ces livres entre leurs mains.

Abstract

"In the 1920s, with the end of the Revolution, the new Soviet government began investing resources and energy in creating a new type of the book for the first Soviet generation of young readers. In a sense, these early Soviet books for children were the ABCs of Soviet modernity. Creatively illustrated and intricately designed, they were manuals and primers that helped the young reader enter the field of politics through literature. Children's books provided the basic vocabulary and grammar for understanding new, post-revolutionary realities, but they also taught young readers how to perceive modern events and communist practices. Relying on a process of dual-media rendering, illustrated books presented propaganda as a simple, repeatable narrative or verse, while also casting it in easily recognizable graphic images. A vehicle of ideology, an object of affection, and a product of labour, the illustrated book for the young Soviet reader emerged as an important cultural phenomenon. Communist in its content, it was often avant-gardist in its form. Spotlighting three thematic threads--communist goals, pedagogy, and propaganda--Pedagogy of Images traces the formation of a mass modern readership through the creation of the communist-inflected visual and narrative conventions that these early readers were supposed to appropriate.

Abstract

"Gateways to the Book investigates the complex image-text relationships between frontispieces and illustrated title pages with the following texts in European books published between 1500 and 1800. Although interest in this broad field of research has increased in the past decades, many varieties of title pages, many printers and books remain as yet unstudied. The fifteen essays collected in this volume tackle this field from a great variety of academic approaches asking how the images can be interpreted, how the texts and contexts shape their interpretation and how they in turn shape the understanding of the text"--
