In a culture increasingly obsessed with the visual self-image and extreme self-exposure in which reality is constantly obscured and misrepresented through concealment and spin the roles display and disguise play in literature thought and visual culture are particularly prescient. This collection developed from papers presented at a postgraduate conference in Oxford in September 2008 presents a coherent view of key developments in the notions of display and disguise in French culture and provides a thought-provoking contribution to contemporary criticism. The volume includes essays from both senior researchers and graduate students using close readings and theoretical approaches from the psychoanalytic to the postcolonial. These are arranged in four main sections dealing with notions of performance disclosure illusion and concealment respectively. Drawing on new research in a wide range of periods in fields including art photography theatre travel writing and the novel the authors consider the notions of display and disguise in relation to works by artists such as Molière Flaubert Proust Dalí Vinaver and Sophie Calle.This volume contains ten contributions in English and one in French.
