Topic: Octave Uzanne


  
  Books Are Dead, Long Live Books
Its author, Octave Uzanne, completed his prediction with the word "phonography." For him, the reproduction of sound heralded the end of print mediation between author and audience.
Were Uzanne writing today, one might expect words like "orality," "interactivity," and "media convergence" to appear, yet the core of his discussion was a trope on novel machinery and a few of the immediate, first-order effects of adoption.
Uzanne's exuberant futurism came with the earliest awareness of what has come to be called the Technological Age.

 foskett
It is based around the work of the Parisian writer Octave Uzanne (1852-1931), a bibliophile who, in 1889, founded the Société des Bibliophiles Contemporains.
Uzanne also wrote short stories with a bibliographical leaning and edited bibliographical journals, such as L'Art et l'idée and Le Livre moderne.
Uzanne's works in the collection date from the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century.

 APTER: CHAPTER 4: UNMASKING THE MASQUERADE
In the Goncourt brothers' La Femme au dix-huitieme siecle and in the fashion writing of Octave Uzanne, literary portraits of eighteenth-century libertinage and sartorial pomp are often used to praise and at the same time to pathologize (implicitly) a high culture of flirtation, seduction, and masquerade.
Uzanne (much like Clerambault, rumored to have secretly dressed up in the Muslim veils that he so delighted in photographing on Algerian women) doubles the already doubled feminine masquerade, creating a masculine travesty or cross-dressed impersonation of women in prose.
Uzanne's endorsement of this symbol of nonutilitarian, antibourgeois sexuali ty forms a piece with his apology for an ethic of libertinage in Le Bric-is-brac de t'amour (Paris: Edouard Rouveyre, 1879), p.

 L'EVENTAIL.
Don't let anything else I write persuade you that this is anything but a serious scholarly study of ladies' fans from ancient times into the 19th century.
They are astounding, explosive explorations of the techniques of book decoration and the use of decorative elements, from the restrained yet exuberant rococo decorative page-borders to the fascinating vignettes and scenes that perch and strut, like plumed peacocks, on many of the pages.
Uzanne's books do not so much explore history as sinuously curve their way around and through it.

 The End of Books
By the late nineteenth century, developments in audiovisual technologies, such as film and the phonograph, were heralded as the harbinger of death for the book.
In 1894, author Octave Uzanne and illustrator A. Ribar published a story entitled,
Much of what the narrator in Uzanne and Ribar’s story relates has come to pass in one form or another, and yet the book still exists though, according to some, not for much longer.

 Felix Edouard Vallotton - Manifestation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Vallotton (1865-1925) made drypoints and etchings early in his career, and began making woodcuts in 1891.
By the next year he had achieved some measure of fame in this medium, with the publication of an article on his breakthrough approach by Octave Uzanne in the Paris journal "L'Art et L'Idee." By 1893 he had obviously hit his stride, and Manifestation represents one of the great examples of woodblock printmaking.

Heidi Brevik-Zender’s talk is entitled “Accessories to Crime: Octave Uzanne, Adolf Loos and the Feminine Ornament”.
Using Czech architect Adolf Loos’s polemical essay “Ornament and Crime” (1910) as a point of comparison, this talk argues that Octave Uzanne’s treatment of sartorial accessories exposes his ambivalent attitudes not only toward feminine fashion, but also toward women and modern society itself.
