Reading sessions, The Book to Come
This session will consider possible relationships between film, books and text. It will be vertebrated around Stéphane Mallarmé’s poem Un Coup de dés jamais n’abolirá le hazard, which we will take to be foundational in the contemporary idea of space, and which was transformed by Marcel Broodthaers into a “specific object…(Read More)
