Louise Bourgeois is best known for her monumental sculptures, installations, drawings, and paintings—but those familiar with her work know that words permeate her visual art. Louise Bourgeois: The Artist as Writer offers an important new portrait of the French-born New York artist, arguing that her extensive oeuvre can be read as a work of literature. While Bourgeois’s statements, diaries, letters, and texts have long been visible, this book contends that they have not yet truly been read.Drawing on years of research in the Louise Bourgeois Archive in New York, Léa Vuong redefines the artist as a woman of letters. She asks how Bourgeois’s art was impacted by literature and shows how Bourgeois consumed and produced knowledge daily by reading, note-taking, and diary writing; collaborating with writers, poets, and playwrights throughout her career; and experimenting with visual and verbal language in her art and everyday life. Vuong establishes how writing, reading, collecting, and making books were central to Bourgeois’s artistic practice, paying close attention to Erasmus Books and Prints, the bookshop she ran in New York City during an overlooked but crucial period in her career.By revealing the literary foundations of Bourgeois’s art and her bilingual engagement with French and English, this book provides a major reassessment of a canonical figure. Scholars and students of modern art, literary studies, and French culture will find a compelling new interpretation of Bourgeois’s life and work.

Francophone Oceania Today: Literature, Visual Arts, Music and Cinema is a compilation of essays that breaks new ground in the exploration of recent and contemporary cultural expressions emerging from Francophone Oceania. This books explores Francophone Oceania today: a region rich in literary, artistic, and cultural productions, which nonetheless remains a marginalised space within Francophone Studies and disconnected from the mostly Anglophone cultural networks currently deployed in the South Pacific.Francophone Oceania Today: Literature, Visual Arts, Music and Cinema establishes an état présent of recent and contemporary Francophone Oceanian literature, visual arts, music and cinema. It measures the local and global diffusion of Francophone Oceanian culture today and examines its key thematic and critical approaches, including ecocritical perspectives on art, literature, and cinema, while proposing new directions for research in the region.Francophone Oceania Today opens a much-needed critical conversation between scholarly disciplines, between French-speaking and English-speaking academics, and between university researchers, museum professionals, and artistic voices. Our book contains hitherto unpublished contributions by Mā'ohi Nui/French Polynesian writer Chantal T. Spitz and by New Caledonian writer Nicolas Kurtovitch (in English translations by Jean Anderson).Our book aims to draw interdisciplinary bridges among literature, cinema, music and the visual arts, and to account for the various cross-fertilisations currently happening in the region. Ultimately, what emerges from our volume is a multifaceted reflexion on the contemporary existence of Francophone Oceania, showcasing the diversity of views, artforms, critical perspectives and artistic voices that are gathered across its islands and the sea that surrounds them.
