The ArtsJanuary 2019The new pornographies
Explicit sex in recent French fiction and film
by Victoria Best, Martin Crowley
The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed the striking advance of pornography into the Western cultural mainstream. Symptomatic of this development has been the use by writers, artists, and film-makers of the imagery and aesthetics of pornography, in works which have, often on this basis, achieved considerable international success. Amongst these artists are a number of French authors and directors - such as Michel Houellebecq, Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, or Catherine Millet - whose work has often been dismissed as trashy or exploitative, but whose use of pornographic material may in fact be indicative of important contemporary concerns. In this, the first study of this significant trend, the authors explore how the reference to pornography encodes diverse political, cultural, and existential questions, including relations between the sexes, the collapse of avant-garde politics, gay sexualities in the time of AIDS, the anti-feminist backlash, the relation to the body and illness, the place of fantasy, and the sexualisation of children. It will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the fields of French culture, gender, film and media studies.

Erinnerungen an Karl Lagerfeld
by Sébastien Jondeau, Bettina Seifried, Virginie Mouzat
1999 lernen sich Sébastien Jondeau und Karl Lagerfeld kennen. Für den Jugendlichen aus einfachen Pariser Verhältnissen wird ein Traum wahr: Ab diesem Zeitpunkt wird er nicht mehr von der Seite des Modeschöpfers weichen. Jondeau wird Fahrer, Leibwächter, Assistent, Vertrauter, enger Freund. Lagerfeld eröffnet ihm eine Welt, die er, das Arbeiterkind aus einem Pariser Banlieue, sonst nie gekannt hätte: Er fliegt mit ihm in Privatjets, zu den wichtigen Modeschauen in New York, Mailand, Paris, begleitet ihn in seine Luxusvillen und lernt die internationale Prominenz kennen. Lagerfeld wird zu einer Vaterfigur für Jondeau, ein Vorbild, das er bis zu dessen Tod im Jahr 2019 begleitet - und das eine große Lücke in seinem Leben hinterlässt. In »Ça va, cher Karl?« erinnert Jondeau sich an die gemeinsamen Jahre – und erzählt voller Ehrlichkeit, Bewunderung, Demut, aber auch mit Humor und Herz von einem Menschen, dem er so nah war wie kein anderer.

Graphic novels2020Vernon Subutex
by Virginie Despentes and LUZ
An icon of nonchalance and procrastination, Vernon has been unemployed since his vinyl business went under. Now surviving with the help of an old friend who became a rock star, Vernon watches his life fall apart from the sidelines. When the generous friend suddenly dies of an overdose, he finds himself crashing at old friends’ apartments. Unbeknownst to Vernon, the internet is going wild, journalists, fans and moguls are hunting him down as they believe he is in possession of the last recorded interview of the famed musician. Virginie Despentes uses Vernon’s downfall to deliver a gallery of eccentric, unlikable and yet relatable characters, unable to forget the glory of their youths and to adapt to a fast-paced and unforgiving society. Luz , one of France’s major cartoonists and a former Charlie Hebdo contributor, was the perfect match for Virginie Despentes. They share a deep love of music, a caustic sense of humour and a flair for controversy.

A dangerous enchantment that can only be broken by fire… Even Gods Fall in Love, Book 4 Vulcan, living in the body of Harry, Earl of Valsgarth, prefers a quiet country life, channeling his fiery temperament into his metal workshop.
