Bienvenue re-viewed: representing and reframing hospitality in contemporary French visual culture

这个项目考察了法国当代视觉文化中热情好客的表现，法国是世界文化生产的领先者，神话中的文化生产被神话为“好客的国家”。通过对精选的21世纪电影、摄影和艺术的跨媒体分析，该项目不仅将展示法国视觉文化揭示了当今法国人的好客行为，而且还将展示它如何揭示出对好客行为本身的理解，即“内部”与“外部”、“主人”与“客人”之间的关系。也就是说，这个项目将通过重新定义这一概念及其实践，结合当代法国的背景，阐明艺术家们对传统款待参数的挑战。

This project examines representations of hospitality across contemporary visual culture in France, a world leader in cultural production mythologised as 'the hospitable nation'. Through a cross-media analysis of selected 21st-century film, photography and art, this project will show not only what French visual culture reveals about French hospitality today, but also how it informs an understanding of hospitality itself, as the relationship between 'inside' and 'outside', 'host' and 'guest'. Namely, this project will illuminate artists' challenge to traditional parameters of hospitality through their redefinition of both the concept and its practices in engagement with the current contexts of contemporary France.
