Alter Ego is the first monograph in English on the critical
writings of Michel Leiris (1901-90). A groundbreaking
autobiographer and pioneering ethnographer, Leiris also produced
important criticism on art, opera, jazz and literature, which acts
as a key commentary on twentieth-century intellectual movements and
demonstrates vividly the constant refashioning and reformulation of
contemporary ideas and aesthetics. Hand defines and situates
Leiris's core themes, analyses his criticism in each of the art
areas examined, and delineates the model that emerges of a
contrapuntal and heterogeneous critical identity. Sean Hand is
Professor of French and Associate Dean of the School of Arts and
Humanities at Oxford Brookes University. He has published on Michel
Leiris, Emmanuel Levinas and contemporary aesthetics and ethics.
While writing the present book he was a Leverhulme Research Fellow.
