Chiaroscuro, the bold or delicate contrast between light and shadow, is treated as a visual metaphor that evokes the tension between the senses and reason, in which the latter must take into account the former in order to temper its own totalitarian and conservative tendencies. Julia Holter's \u003ci\u003eContemporary chiaroscuro\u003c\/i\u003e links a technique from classical art with a present-day search for a small light as a way of surviving in our violently overlit society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDans \u003ci\u003eLe clair-obscur   extr�me contemporain   Pierre Bergounioux, Pierre Michon, Patrick Modiano et Pascal Quignard\u003c\/i\u003e, Julia Holter montre comment la notion de clair-obscur sous-tend la pens�e et l'esth�tique de quatre �crivains fran�ais extr�me-contemporains rassembl�s pour la premi�re fois.
