Night of performances within the framework of “The manifesto is breaking out. Contemporary revolutions of the artistic and literary manifesto between theory and practice”.
Organization Jean-Marc Baud (Sorbonne Paris Nord University, PLEIADE), Camille Bloomfield (Paris Cité University, CERILAC / Sorbonne Paris Nord University, PLEIADE), Viviana Birolli (Paris 1 University, HICSA), Mette Ruiz (University of Dalarna, Sweden), Audrey Ziane (École des Beaux-Arts of Marseille – IFAMM).
Since the early 2000s, critics have agreed on one thing: despite its death, announced in the 1980s, the manifesto is back, in letters, the arts and beyond. However, it bears little resemblance to its literary and artistic antecedents of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Whether in terms of their form, medium, distribution channels, uses or critical reception, the manifestos of the 21st century are moving significantly away from the literary model from which its standard definitions were fashioned: these new “post-manifesto” manifestos are sometimes distributed online, sometimes launched in non-textual forms, or commissioned by institutions receptive to experimental creation. The “Le manifeste s’éclate” colloquium will explore the vast panorama of artistic and literary manifestos from the 1960s to the extreme-contemporary, and update the critical and analytical frameworks of the manifesto so that they correspond to its evolutions and explosions.
