Description

Product Description Alter Ego is the first monograph in English on the critical writings of Michel Leiris (1901-90). A groundbreaking autobiographer and pioneering ethnographer, Leiris also produced important criticism on art, opera, jazz and literature, which acts as a key commentary on twentieth-century intellectual movements and demonstrates vividly the constant refashioning and reformulation of contemporary ideas and aesthetics. Hand defines and situates Leiris's core themes, analyses his criticism in each of the art areas examined, and delineates the model that emerges of a contrapuntal and heterogeneous critical identity. Review This wide-ranging and incisive study covers an impressive amount of material in a short space, combining a sure grasp of context with acute close reading.--Douglas Smith "French Studies, 60.1, 2006, 149-50 " About the Author Sean Hand is Professor of French and Associate Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities at Oxford Brookes University. He has published on Michel Leiris, Emmanuel Levinas and contemporary aesthetics and ethics. While writing the present book he was a Leverhulme Research Fellow.
