"What does performativity signify? And what does it mean to speak of something as being performative? Aiming to clarify and critically highlight an important but sometimes elusive concept, this book consists of five chapters, each addressing a concrete situation of interpretation. By highlighting artworks and images from different historical periods and contexts, the authors show how performativity might be a versatile and useful concept for interpretations of images. The purpose is to convey the critical potential of the concept as it is activated in relation to different objects of study. The book is primarily addressed to students of art history and others who take an interest in questions of visuality and visual practices. Offering not only a theoretical understanding of the concept, it strives to point out ways and possibilities of the practical use of performativity. This book constitutes the first volume of Theoretical Applications in Art History, which forms part of the series Basic Readings in Culture and Aesthetics. Its editors, Malin Hedlin Hayden and Mårten Snickare, are professors of art history at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University.

Voici republiés et rassemblés, pour la première fois depuis leur parution (de 1927 à 1929), les huit tomes de la série Écrivains & Artistes de Léon Daudet. Recherchées par les amateurs et collectionneurs pour leur grande rareté, ces compilations valent surtout pour les nombreux jugements que les auteurs, morts, vivants ou exténués ont inspirés à l’auteur : Shakespeare, Rabelais, Molière, Dostoïevski, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Maupassant, Zola, Proust, Robert Louis Stevenson, Kessel, Georges Bernanos, Paul Valéry, Balzac, Victor Hugo, Oscar Wilde, Alexandre Dumas, Madame de Sévigné et bien d’autres encore. Le polémiste avait ses détestations tenaces et ses valeurs refuges. Il haïssait la littérature « automatique » et chérissait, lucide, le talent, les étoiles vraies, tous ceux dont les livres engendrent une sorte d’hallucination sentimentale. Savoir écrire, c’est savoir lire : Daudet le dit, Daudet le prouve.
