Picturing Tomorrow: Future-directed Imagination in American Art
How do we understand the concept of the future? Is it inevitable and shaped by a long sequence of events and interconnected chance occurrences? Or do we conceive of it as something that is determined by our actions and decisions in the present day? Is it a pure potentiality, a promise of a radically different world and yet unimaginable existence? Or is it something that is forever unreachable, something that defines our experience of the present as a perpetual state of deferral and transience?

Esthétique(s) jazz : la scène et les images
À l’origine du jazz, il y a les spectacles musicaux et satiriques des esclaves sur les plantations, ces spectacles que les Blancs qualifiaient d’éthiopiens et qui inspirèrent les Minstrels Shows et la tradition du Blackface. Dans cette pratique musicale née au temps de l’esclavage, il y a une dimension ludique, un rire salvateur, subversif et libérateur, un fracas de rires pour saper l’ordre esclavagiste, au nez et à la barbe du maître. C’est ce rire ontologique qui travaille en profondeur l’esthétique jazz que nous souhaitons interroger, du geste comique et ludique du jazzman au corps musical de l’acteur comique. En quoi ces corps-jazz vibrant en rythme, au risque de la danse, sont-ils capables de produire une mécanique humoristique ou burlesque ? Et dans quelle mesure ces corps-jazz qui provoquent les rires jouent-ils à déconstruire les normes ?
