LOCAL COLOUR - VLADIMIR KAPOR KARTONIERT (TB)

Local colour is an undertheorized notion. Although the expression itself is nowadays used in
everyday speech in both French and English  its 'domestication' only further highlights the
need for a clarifying study of this concept  which has come to be crucial in aesthetic debates.
From the seventeenth-century rift between 'Poussinistes' and 'Rubénistes'  to the genesis of
Romanticist aesthetic theories in early nineteenth-century France  to the North American
regionalist prose of the Local colour movement  from Roger de Piles  to Benjamin Constant 
Victor Hugo  Prosper Mérimée  and Hamlin Garland  this book sets out to map for the first time
couleur locale's three-hundred-year journey across centuries  languages and genres. In addition
to proposing a genealogy of the concept and the paths of its semantic evolution  it also
initiates a reflection on the factors that could have prompted the mobility of the term across
cultures  art forms and their metalanguages.
