Jean Renoir: A Biography

By: Pascal Merigeau

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Originally published in France in 2012, Pascal Mégeau's definitive biography of legendary film director Jean Renoir is a landmark work-the winner of a Prix Goncourt, France's top literary achievement. Now available in the English language for the first time, Jean Renoir: A Biography, is the definitive study of one of the most fascinating and creative artistic figures of the twentieth century. The French filmmaker made more than forty films from the silent era to the late '60s and today he is revered by filmmakers and seen by many as one of the greatest of all time. Renoir made acclaimed movies in France, America, India, and Italy and became a writer during the last part of his life. An estimated 75 percent of the book details previously unknown information about the filmmaker, including Renoir's close affiliation with Communism in the '30s (when he was the Party's official director) and his work with the fascist regimes during World War II; his previously uncredited Hollywood film, The Amazing Mrs. Holiday; and new information on the making of his most famous films. Drawing from unpublished or little known sources, this biography is a completely fresh approach to the maker of Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game, redefining the very function of the movie director and simultaneously recounting the history of a century.

Social Psychology of Pictures

Social Psychology of Pictures

By: Pascal Moliner

We see and represent our social environment not as it is, but as we believe it to be. This is the thesis defended in this book, supported by conceptual elements and illustrated by numerous examples drawn from anthropology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology and social psychology. These examples show that people sharing different beliefs about the same object produce different images of that object (such as drawings or photos), and highlight that such people interpret the same image of this object differently. Finally, they show that, when these people communicate through images, they find it difficult to understand each other. On the basis of these observations, the book proposes a psychosocial theory of the link between beliefs and iconography. This book is mainly intended for students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences, interested in the problematic of images. However, it will also be of interest to communication practitioners and the general public.

Perpetual Euphoria

On the Duty to Be Happy

By: Pascal Bruckner

How happiness became mandatory—and why we should reject the demand to "be happy" Happiness today is not just a possibility or an option but a requirement and a duty. To fail to be happy is to fail utterly. Happiness has become a religion—one whose smiley-faced god looks down in rebuke upon everyone who hasn't yet attained the blessed state of perpetual euphoria. How has a liberating principle of the Enlightenment—the right to pursue happiness—become the unavoidable and burdensome responsibility to be happy? How did we become unhappy about not being happy—and what might we do to escape this predicament? In Perpetual Euphoria, Pascal Bruckner takes up these questions with all his unconventional wit, force, and brilliance, arguing that we might be happier if we simply abandoned our mad pursuit of happiness. Gripped by the twin illusions that we are responsible for being happy or unhappy and that happiness can be produced by effort, many of us are now martyring ourselves—sacrificing our time, fortunes, health, and peace of mind—in the hope of entering an earthly paradise. Much better, Bruckner argues, would be to accept that happiness is an unbidden and fragile gift that arrives only by grace and luck. A stimulating and entertaining meditation on the unhappiness at the heart of the modern cult of happiness, Perpetual Euphoria is a book for everyone who has ever bristled at the command to "be happy.

Go-between

By: Pierre Verger,Jean Loup Pivin,Pascal Martin Saint Léon

En 1932, alors qu'il a trente ans, Pierre Verger décide de tout abandonner pour voyager et se consacrer à la photographie. Il sera un des grands photographes de l'époque publiant des photos libres sur les peuples libres à travers le monde. Son regard sur l'humanité transcende tous les folklores et toutes les différences. C'est la même curiosité et le même amour du monde qui l'amènent aussi à devenir un des premiers chercheurs sur le vodou et l'histoire de la traite négrière entre l'Afrique et l'Amérique. Plus de 200 photos présentées dans cet ouvrage racontent l'histoire sensible et émouvante d'un immense talent. Il est mort à Bahia en 1996.

Histoires courtes

By: Marie-Noëlle Boutin,Michel Poivert,Musée des beaux-arts (Dunkerque, Nord).,Pascal Le Brun-Cordier

Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée du 27 novembre 2010 au 27 juin 2011 au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dunkerque. Des rues et des visages, des alentours de ville que la civilisation de l'automobile a déclassés, des regroupements d'amis ou de familles, des lieux de promenade : ici, en France ou ailleurs, très loin en Chine ou plus proche en Israël, Marie-Noëlle Boutin (1971) parvient à élaborer une représentation réaliste sans recourir aux signes agressifs d'un monde contemporain que l'on caricature à l'envi. Ce travail est une levée des formes et des signes par le moyen d'une défamiliarisation : construire une observation du monde qui dévoile ce que la proximité et l'habitude recouvrent. Bilingue français-anglais.
