Son \u0153uvre a touch\u00e9 un nouveau public en 2024 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la sortie de l\u2019adaptation cin\u00e9matographique de son roman <em>Poor Things<\/em> [<em>Pauvres Cr\u00e9atures<\/em>], nomin\u00e9e aux Oscars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans le sillage de cette r\u00e9cente attention, cet ouvrage, \u00e9dit\u00e9 notamment par Kirsten Stirling (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unil.ch\/angl\/en\/home.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.unil.ch\/angl\/en\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Section d&rsquo;anglais<\/a>), explore \u00e0 la fois la pratique litt\u00e9raire et artistique de Gray et, surtout, favorise le dialogue entre ces deux formes d\u2019expression. Avec des chapitres consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 ses espaces liminaires, \u00e0 sa repr\u00e9sentation des femmes, \u00e0 ses positions politiques et \u00e0 son r\u00f4le d\u2019intellectuel engag\u00e9, cet ouvrage offre une vision historicis\u00e9e de l\u2019\u0153uvre de Gray tout en proposant de nouvelles approches critiques. Les t\u00e9moignages sur l\u2019\u0153uvre picturale de Gray rassembl\u00e9s ici apportent un \u00e9clairage nouveau sur ses projets collaboratifs, notamment ses fresques murales de grande envergure telle que celle d\u2019\u00d2ran M\u00f3r que l&rsquo;on admire sur la couverture du livre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R\u00e9unissant des contributrices et des contributeurs issus des milieux cr\u00e9atifs, universitaires, politiques et mus\u00e9aux, cet ouvrage explore les engagements politiques et les collaborations artistiques de Gray afin de comprendre comment son \u0153uvre a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e et r\u00e9invent\u00e9e, notamment \u00e0 travers des approches transm\u00e9diatiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marie-Odile Pitton-Hedon, Camille Manfredi, Kirsten Stirling (eds),
