Before publishing a book with Editions Baudelaire, Audrey Ouazan was a lawyer. She has also taught methodology in the humanities sector. The title of his manifesto is long, but echoes several very current themes, which are debated and also controversial: "Liberating destructuralism, finally a new literary and artistic movement for all! »
A title evoking
Let's cut out in a scientific and pragmatic way each term contained in this strong title. According to the most famous encyclopedia of the web "Wikipedia", structuralism is a " set of currents of thought" shared by a large world, which has precisely appeared in the field of human and social sciences. Born in the 60s, this current of thought advances the theory that assumes that the attitude and approach of a subject stem from fundamental unconscious structures. If we assume that this manifesto will follow the opposite path, Audrey Ouazan seems to invite us to strongly consider this idea launched and popularized by Lévi-Strauss. Against the grain and anti-system, destructuralism calls for a "letting go" which is symbolized by the presence of the very strong word "liberator". It's hard to define precisely what freedom is — but all the elements have been chosen to grab a reader's attention. Before embarking on reading a book of this type, it is important to keep in mind that this is indeed a more or less solemn declaration, lying on the pages of a book. The author explains this concept of liberating destructuralism, which would come at the right time. In order to accentuate the urgency and necessity of such a literary and artistic movement, the writer relies on a lively exclamation, which intrigues.
A new literary and artistic movement founded by Audrey Ouazan
The text opens with a sentence that would characterize the essence of the collection published in 2020: "A New Literary and Artistic Movement for the emergence of a societal movement with civilizational resonances. The political scene has always been rooted in art! To support her remarks, Audrey Ouazan surrounds herself with a supporter, in the person of journalist Fabienne Amiachi. She is best known for her weather reports on France 3, the TV host also bowed out in 2021. For a literary movement to be identified by its very nature, it must be able to bring together people other than its founder. Since Audrey Ouazan is familiar with the world of Law, she includes in this book a part devoted to an intimate presentation, in which she slips some information about it, while showing a certain withdrawal from her ideas. After all, to identify an individual, it seems inseparable to learn about his ideals as well as his opinions.
Redefining what art is
During these pages, which sometimes take the form of interviews, Audrey Ouazan invites us to think differently, to redefine what Art is from a totally free angle, without any borders. For this, the objective of a person wishing to separate himself from the codes of the genre will be able to indulge in spontaneous writing by letting their emotions speak. In the first presentation with many questions directly related to art, Audrey Ouazan fully assumes an uninhibited vision of Art, which can "become a liberation at the heart of oneself. " but also "a chiaroscuro, since it is a peaceful, gentle, serene song, but capable of passion and combativeness. »
The societal project Cursus Honorum
In reality, the societal project Cursus Honorum aims to open their arms to all lovers of creation, but also those who feel stuck in this process, precisely because of the codes. The artist seems to be in the grip of a real " Evil of the century" symptomatic of the past. A recrimination that is perceived in particular in a shock statement, which can convert more than one person, but will also bring its share of objection. According to the founder of liberating destructuralism, renewal no longer exists, moreover, there is no production or content that has stood out since… The 50s: "no literary and artistic movement has emerged since 1950 with the New Roman, it is high time to move forward and act against the emptiness of ideas. »
Audrey Ouazan wants to create something unique
With such a multiple project, Audrey Ouazan intends to promote originality in all landscapes concerned by Art and the action of creating something unique, which differs from ordinary works. Through transgression and learning to dare to face oneself, the author hopes to reach new generations and encourage a deeply humanistic society to return to the basics. The urgency here is to sustainably develop creativity, in all approaches that will enhance the French literary heritage. According to Audrey Ouazan, the issue is therefore strictly linked to the political and civilizational sphere. A conception strongly echoing a certain Nicolas Machiavelli, who claimed that "not everything is political, but politics is interested in everything. Finally, "Liberating destructuralism, finally a new literary and artistic movement for all! " is a way of challenging the French people and all French-speaking individuals. This is a hope of struggle, to move away from obscurantism. To learn more about Audrez Ouazan, you can visit his official website.
