International audience; Ce volume examine les relations et les influences entre l'illustration et l’identité dans leurs formes et leurs significations multiples. Il interroge, et illustre, à travers une variété d’approches théoriques, d’études de cas, de projets professionnels et d’expériences personnelles, les moyens individuels, interculturels et interdisciplinaires par lesquels l’illustration contribue aujourd’hui et a contribué au fil du temps à la formation de l’identité ou des identités. Il fournit la preuve que l’illustration participe à l’expression, et même à la construction de l’identité ou des identités individuelles et collectives, que celles-ci soient culturelles, sociales, ethniques, nationales, politiques ou autres. En montrant comment l’étude de l’illustration fournit des éclairages pertinents et précieux non seulement sur la représentation, mais aussi sur la construction de l’identité (parmi lesquelles les identités liées à l’âge, au sexe et au genre, ou encore à l’appartenance sociale, nationale, culturelle et politique), il contribue à la compréhension de la pertinence culturelle et de l’impact socio-politique de l’illustration.

National audience; Ce chapitre définit la manière dont l’illustration contribue à faire œuvre de mémoire en rapport avec la poésie anglaise de la Grande Guerre. Dans le cadre de cette réflexion, c’est la pratique de l’estampe qui est privilégiée. De par ses contraintes matérielles et techniques, l'art de la gravure relève d’un paradigme de l’inscription et de la trace, et contribue ainsi à l’élaboration d’un imaginaire mémoriel. Les illustrations de Paul Nash, de Harry Brockway et de William Utermohlen interrogent les notions de témoignage et de commémoration.

International audience; This volume contains nine original articles by artists and researchers who offer a variety of perspectives on illustration from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. This selection is the result of the research work carried out by Illustr4tio, a French interdisciplinary network devoted to expanding the field of Illustration Studies worldwide and to bringing together illustrators, printmakers, publishers, curators, collectors and academics who have a common interest in illustration. It offers a wide spectrum of stances and practices which highlight the intermedial dimension of the illustrative image. The topics under consideration range from the illustrator's and reader’s investigation of and bodily involvement with a literary text to the aesthetic, commercial and technical constraints that shape the illustrator’s work – as well as its reception – and define his or her object and status. The collection offers insight into a specific case of intermedial transaction and throws light on the dialogic relationship between text and image, writer or patron and artist, and more broadly between readers, texts and books.
