Abstract

Des débuts au théâtre de Jane Birkin, en 1964, jusqu'à son décès en juillet 2023, Jane Birkin n'a eu de cesse d'être - malgré elle - une icône de la pop culture des deux côtés de la Manche. La plus Française des artistes britanniques a toujours entretenu un rapport spécial avec son pays natal. Elle s'est toujours volontairement dénigrée aux yeux des Anglais, tout en cherchant secrètement leur assentiment.Peut-être parce que la France l'a adopté immédiatement et qu'elle s'y sentait bien. Raechel Leigh Carter, qui est aussi anglaise que francophile, s'est intéressée à raconter la Jane Birkin britannique. Pour le public Français, le point de vue anglais met singulièrement en lumière une Jane Birkin différente, moins sûre d'elle, constamment questionnée par le doute. Cette biographie est essentielle pour mieux comprendre Jane "Je t'aime" Birkin.

Abstract

This book examines feminist textual and cinematic engagements with the idea of the Middle Ages in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, arguing that the idea of the medieval past is central to the work of novelists and directors interested in embodiment and vulnerability. Careful and illuminating analysis of particular moments in fiction, film, and political discourse dismantles the false binary between popular and intellectual medievalisms, which rests on gendered understandings of genre and audience, while demonstrating that masculinist or patriarchal medievalisms have an equal but understudied counterpart.The book's first three chapters cover Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and its afterlives, the final works of Virginia Woolf, and late twentieth-century film and music videos from the United States. The final chapter examines the treatment of women's bodies and vulnerability in both political theory and recent electoral politics, arguing that they share a common thread of misogyny rooted in the idea of the medieval past, and that one way to challenge that misogyny is by looking at complex feminist engagements with that same past, both real and imagined.

Abstract

Emerging in the death throes of colonial rule, the story of Tropical Modernism is one of politics and power, decolonization and defiance. Its leading proponents, British architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry, adapted a utopian Bauhaus-derived Modernist aesthetic to hot and humid conditions. After Independence, Tropical Modernism was championed by leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Kwame Nkrumah as a symbol of freedom, progressiveness and internationalism in monumental projects such as Chandigarh in Punjab planned by Le Corbusier and Black Star Square in Accra designed by Victor Adegbite. Scrutinizing the colonial narratives surrounding Tropical Modernism, and foregrounding the experience of African and Indian practitioners, this book reassesses an architectural style which has increasing relevance in today's changing climate.
