| Summary: | "The essays gathered here deal with Samuel Beckett's constitutive legacy in contemporary art since the emergence of its expanded field in the 1960s. They discuss artworks, creative practices, and artists' discourses deeply inspired by the writer, while highlighting distinct responses to the same work and lesser-known artistic scenes. Demonstrating the ongoing interest of contemporary artists in Beckett's multidimensional oeuvre, the collection illuminates relationships between contemporary art and literature. Les essais recueillis ici traitent de l'héritage germinal que Samuel Beckett a transmis à l'art contemporain depuis l'émergence de son champ élargi dans les années 1960. Ils se penchent sur des œuvres d'art, des pratiques créatrices et des discours d'artistes qui s'inspirent profondément de l'auteur, tout en soulignant la diversité des réponses à l'une ou l'autre de ses œuvres et des scènes artistiques moins connues. En démontrant l'intérêt continuel que les artistes contemporains vouent à l'œuvre multidimensionnel de Beckett, l'anthologie éclaircit des rapports entre la littérature et l'art contemporains"-- |
