Bücher von Arnaud Schmitt

This book explores hybrid memoirs, combining text and images, authored by photographers. It contextualizes this sub-category of life writing from a historical perspective within the overall context of life writing, before taking a structural and cognitive approach to the text/image relationship. While autobiographers use photographs primarily for their illustrative or referential function, photographers have a much more complex interaction with pictures in their autobiographical accounts. This book explores how the visual aspect of a memoir may drastically alter the reader¿s response to the work, but also how, in other cases, the visual parts seem disconnected from the text or underused.

L'¿uvre de Philippe Vilain adhère à son époque ; mais elle assume un classicisme dont elle restaure l'esthétique à travers le roman d'analyse et un questionnement de l'illusion amoureuse.
