Strabismes : Woolf et le regard photograhique (contes de journées d’été)

Abstract

This article introduces the reader to the laboratory of criticism writing, as the author gets himself and his tools ready for the task, describes the context and circumstances prevailing over his work, and bares himself to the minimum (and maximum) of critical practice by honing out his attentiveness to the object under scrutiny. The following pages evoke a pastoral writing scene in which intuition, encounter and reprise allow for a dialogue with Woolf’s Three Guineas, addressing the logics of sensation and politics of the photograph in relation with other readers like Barthes, Sontag or Butler.
