Irrévérence

Winter 2006

[In French] Connotée négativement, l’irrévérence relève souvent, dans le domaine de l’art, d’une stratégie subversive et critique. Que l’on pense à l’iconoclasme ou au vandalisme artistique, à différentes pratiques de détournement, aux pastiches ou à la satire, à des formes d’art extrême ainsi qu’à de nombreuses pratiques dites outrageuses, c’est sur de multiples variations, et de milles façons, que l’irrévérence se décline, d’où la richesse d’un tel sujet.

Crip

Spring Summer 2026

While “handi” (short for the term “handicapé” in French) and “crip” (derived from “cripple,” meaning “disabled”) are diminutive forms of stigmatizing terms, the meaning we ascribe to them is by no means reductive. On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who embrace them with a powerful tool for empowerment, offering disabled artists non-normative ways for articulating the strange temporalities of disabled experience and alternative ways for navigating an ableist art world. In this issue, we are interested precisely in this work of social, political, and cultural transformation, and we focus on the ways in which crip authors and artists address the different challenges they face.
