While contemporary art has understood and played with the idea of language as performative rather than signifying (cf. Austin: &quot;When saying is doing&quot;), it is the linguistic model itself, performative or not, that is increasingly giving up the ghost. Language games give rise to incompressible image games.<br /> <br /> In concrete terms, these semiotic investigations articulate an approach (in contemporary art or experimental cinema) to a semiotic problem situated by an artistic and political commitment, drawing on targeted textual references touching on the pragmatics of images. While the course will follow a continuous line of study aimed at grasping as closely as possible the pragmatic relationship to images, the problematics will each propose a semiotic arrangement specific to the artistic approach: what pragmatic power is at stake in this image? Or, more simply: What can this image do, given that it is embodied in what it reveals or conceals, in what it renders formidable or novel, in what it implies or (de-)connects, in what it engages, situates or extracts? The image will therefore be considered here not as a support, representation, mediation or mirror, but as the cry that an artistic production or approach utters, and what it gives us to feel as this cry, here and now.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Compulsory course for all 4 Masters.'''</div>
