The idea of the "project" crosses generic, disciplinary and
cultural frontiers. At a time when writers and artists are
increasingly describing their practices as "projects," remarkably
little critical attention has been paid to the actual idea of the
"project." This collection of essays responds to an urgent need by
suggesting a framework for evaluating the notion of the project in
the light of various modernist and postmodernist cultural
practices, drawn mainly but not exclusively from the
French-speaking domain. The overview offered by this volume
promises to makes an original and thought-provoking contribution to
contemporary literary, artistic and cultural criticism.
