« Lyrisme : jeu qui lie et délie les noms et les corps – tous les noms et tous les corps. Son terrain est celui de la vie et de la mort entrelacées, un festin offrant formes, déformations, transformations. Sa matière est l’air, souvent irrespirable, son milieu est l’image, parfois invisible, sa réalité est la voix, presque inaudible. » L’exposition Tamis Lyrique, préparée et prolongée par l’ouvrage éponyme, présente un ensemble d’œuvres déployant une pratique lyrique et spéculative de la photographie, au croisement de diverses formes et disciplines : composition et montage, caractérisation topographique et récit filmique, écriture et installation. Certaines œuvres sont extraites des travaux récents accomplis au cours de l’élaboration de la thèse (photographies de Cherbourg, et le livre La ville que nous voyons ; L’air de l’accordéon, film co-réalisé avec Fanny Béguery en Corrèze). Dix pièces diverses parleurs sujets et leurs formes (vues photographiques, assemblages, objets, séquence de film) sont inédites. Quelques œuvres, plus anciennes, complètent cet ensemble, faisant l’objet de développements écrits particuliers dans le livre Tamis lyrique et permettant de repérer des variations ou d’apprécier une épaisseur temporelle des processus qui structurent le travail. / “ Lyricism is binding and unbinding names and bodies,playing in between all of the names and the bodies. Itsground is made of life and death together interweaved :a feast offering forms, deformations, transformations. Its material is the air, often unbreathable, its milieu is the image, invisible sometimes, its reality is the voice,almost inaudible.” The exhibition Tamis lyrique and the eponymous book present a group of works of art stemming from a lyric and speculative experience of photography, interbreeding diverse forms: tableau and montage, topographical characterization and filmic sequencing, writing and installation. Some of the works were produced during the doctoral thesis elaboration period, such as the photographs taken in Cherbourg, along with the book La ville que nous voyons, or the film L’air de l’accordéon, codirected with Fanny Béguery in Corrèze. Ten other various works are previously unseen. Some more works are older and were the subject of specific writings in the book Tamis lyrique, or enable to perceive variations or to appreciate a temporal density in the construction of the work.

In reading The story of Edgar Sawtelle, this essay applies posthuman studies with animal studies and disability studies to analyse how the communication between species occur and how boundaries are expanded. Non-verbal language is closely examined and argued to be just as viable as verbal language in the making of relationships and subjects in literature. By applying posthumanism, biological research and a non-anthropocentric way of thinking one can evolve from the notion that humans are the only subjects which matter, something that has been verified because non-human animals never have been given a voice or an acknowledgment of a language. What happens in a novel when the main protagonist is lacking the ability to speak verbally, when verbal language is what has constructed human exceptionalism over all the other species? / Denna uppsats tillämpar posthumanistiska studier med djurstudier och funktionshinder-studier för att analysera hur kommunikationen mellan arter äger rum och expanderar gränser i David Wroblewskis roman The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Icke-verbalt språk undersöks och argumenteras vara lika betydande som verbalt språk vid skapandet av relationer och subjekt i litteratur. Genom att applicera posthumanism, biologisk forskning och ett icke-antropocentriskt sätt att tänka kan man avveckla tanken om att människan är det enda subjekt som räknas, detta är något som enbart verifierats eftersom icke-mänskliga djur aldrig fått någon agens eller bekräftande att de har rätten till en röst. Vad händer i en roman när protagonisten saknar förmågan till verbalt språk, när det verbala språket är central som verkning i mänsklig exceptionalism?

<p>The purpose of this essay was to overview the conflicts regarding the exhibition space (Kunsthalle) Tensta Konsthall during 2003 and 2004, in order to gain an understanding of the following: why the conflict started, if anyone exceeded their authority, how the case has been reviewed in the press, what kind of value judgements lay behind the actions and why this case has received so much attention. By studying mainly press material and political documents it has been made clear that Tensta Konsthall’s location in an ill reputed suburb of Stockholm has been the cause for its exposure to different demands and expectations compared to other similar exhibition spaces. Further the essay deals with questions raised by the conflict in the intersection of culture and politics.</p>
