Download or read book Aesthetics and Ideology in Contemporary Literature and Drama written by René Agostini and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conviction that the development and promotion of the arts, humanities and culture through the study of literature and the aesthetic are the fundamental constituents of any progress in society is at the heart of this volume. The essays gathered here explore the role of the imagination and aesthetic awareness in an age when the corporatization of knowledge is in the process of transforming literary studies, and political commitment is in danger of disappearing behind a supposedly post-ideological late-capitalist consensus. The main focus of the volume is the mutual implication of aesthetics and ideology and the status and value of different types of art within the political arena. Challenging issues in contemporary aesthetics are examined within the wider framework of current debates on the disappearance of the real, the crisis in representation, and the use of new media. The wide range of examples collected here, stretching from experimental poetry in post-war Germany, political commitment in twentieth-century French theatre, and countercultural Rumanian theatre under Ceaușescu, to Neo-Victorian fiction, Verbatim theatre in the UK, and political theatre for the masses in Estonia, vouchsafe unique insights into the intersection of aesthetics and ideology and the practical consequences thereof. As such, the volume opens up a space for a meaningful engagement with authentic forms of art from inside and outside the Anglosphere, and, ultimately, uses these examples as a platform from which to imagine some form of “aesthethics”, representing an ideal union of aesthetics and ideology. This concept, first coined by the French philosopher Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, will prove to be relevant both within the parameters of the examples discussed here, but also beyond, for the contributors to this volume are unanimous in refusing to believe that aesthetics and ideology can exist one without the other, and in recognizing the centrality of ethics in any discussion of these notions.

Download or read book Minority Theatre on the Global Stage written by Madelena Gonzalez and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, in the most varied contexts, contemporary theatre is a rich source for increasing the visibility of communities generally perceived by others as minorities, or those who see themselves as such. Whether of a linguistic, ethnic, political, social, cultural or sexual nature, the claims of minorities enjoy a privileged medium in theatre. Perhaps it is because theatre itself is linked to the notions of centre and periphery, conformism and marginality, domination and subjugation – notions that minority theatre constantly examines by staging them – that it is so sensitive to the issues of troubled and conflicted identity and able to give them a universal resonance. Among the questions raised by this volume, is that of the relationship between the particular and the more general aims of this type of theatre. How is it possible to speak to everyone, or at least to the majority, when one is representing the voice of the few? Beyond such considerations, urgent critical examination of the function and aims of minority theatre is needed. To what kind of public is such drama addressed? Does it have an exemplary nature? How is it possible to avoid the pitfalls and the dead end of ghettoization? Certain types of audience-specific theatre are examined in this context, as, for example, theatre as therapy, theatre as an educational tool, and gay theatre. Particular attention is paid to the claims of minorities within culturally and economically dominant western countries. These are some of the avenues explored by this volume which aims to answer fundamental questions such as: What is minority theatre and why does theatre, a supposedly bourgeois, if not to say elitist, art form, have such affinity with the margins? What if, particularly in contemporary society, the theatre as a form, were merely playing out its fundamentally marginal status? The authors of these essays show how different forms of minority theatre can challenge cultural consensus and homogenization, while also aspiring to universality. They also address the central question of the place and status of apparently marginal forms of theatre in the context of globalization and in doing so re-examine theatre itself as a genre. Not only do they illustrate how minority theatre can challenge the dominant paradigms that govern society, but they also suggest their own more flexible and challenging frameworks for theatrical activity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formes du salut invite à la découverte de sept sculptures et d'un panneau peint en provenance de l’abbaye de Val Duchesse. Ces œuvres font partie de la collection de l’abbé Mignot, elles ont été léguées à la Donation royale et mises en dépôt au Musée L. À travers ce livre, le Musée souhaite mettre en valeur le travail de conservation/restauration mené à l’Institut royal du patrimoine artistique ( IRPA ) grâce au Fonds Baillet Latour. Au-delà de son utilité pratique qui garantit le salut, la pérennité et la transmission de ce patrimoine aux générations futures, cette intervention a permis de renseigner les usages et l’historique des sculptures, souvent remaniées au gré des circonstances de leur exposition. C’est donc aussi la participation de ces oeuvres à la vie religieuse et plus précisément leur rôle dans la quête du salut par les fidèles chrétiens qui est au coeur de l’ouvrage. Emmanuelle Mercier ( IRPA ), Erika Rabelo ( IRPA ) et Matthieu Somon ( UCLouvain ) proposent ici une sorte de pragmatique de l’art religieux et documentent l’inscription des œuvres dans la vie cultuelle de l’époque médiévale: les interactions y étaient beaucoup plus vivantes que leur présentation actuelle ne peut le laisser croire!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mind's Eye focuses on the relationships among art, theology, exegesis, and literature--issues long central to the study of medieval art, yet ripe for reconsideration. Essays by leading scholars from many fields examine the illustration of theological commentaries, the use of images to expound or disseminate doctrine, the role of images within theological discourse, the development of doctrine in response to images, and the place of vision and the visual in theological thought. At issue are the ways in which theologians responded to the images that we call art and in which images entered into dialogue with theological discourse. In what ways could medieval art be construed as argumentative in structure as well as in function? Are any of the modes of representation in medieval art analogous to those found in texts? In what ways did images function as vehicles, not merely vessels, of meaning and signification? To what extent can exegesis and other genres of theological discourse shed light on the form, as well as the content and function, of medieval images? These are only some of the challenging questions posed by this unprecedented and interdisciplinary collection, which provides a historical framework within which to reconsider the relationship between seeing and thinking, perception and the imagination in the Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern science informs us about the end of the universe: "game over" is the message which lies ahead of our world. Christian theology, on the other hand, sees in the end not the cessation of all life, but rather an invitation to play again, in God's presence. Is there a way to articulate together such vastly different claims? Eschatology is a theological topic which merits being considered from several different angles. This book seeks to do this by gathering contributions from esteemed and fresh voices from the fields of biblical exegesis, history, systematic theology, philosophy, and ethics. How can we make sense, today, of Jesus' (and the New Testament's) eschatological message? How did he, his early disciples, and the Christian tradition, envision the "end" of the world? Is there a way for us to articulate together what modern science tells us about the end of the universe with the biblical and Christian claims about God who judges and who will wipe every tear? Eschatology has been at the heart of Christian theology for 100 years in the West. What should we do with this legacy? Are there ways to move our reflection forward, in our century? Scholars and other interested readers will find here a wealth of insights.

Download or read book Contemporary African Cultural Productions written by V.Y. Mudimbe and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over Africa, an explosion in cultural productions of various genres is in evidence. Whether in relation to music, song and dance, drama, poetry, film, documentaries, photography, cartoons, fine arts, novels and short stories, essays, and (auto)biography; the continent is experiencing a robust outpouring of creative power that is as remarkable for its originality as its all-round diversity. Beginning from the late 1970s and early 1980s, the African continent has experienced the longest and deepest economic crises than at any other time since the period after the Second World War. Interestingly however, while practically every indicator of economic development was declining in nominal and/ or real terms for most aspects of the continent, cultural productions were on the increase. Out of adversity, the creative genius of the African produced cultural forms that at once spoke to crises and sought to transcend them. The current climate of cultural pluralism that has been produced in no small part by globalization has not been accompanied by an adequate pluralism of ideas on what culture is, and/or should be; nor informed by an equal claim to the production of the cultural packaged or not. Globalization has seen to movement and mixture, contact and linkage, interaction and exchange where cultural flows of capital, people, commodities, images and ideologies have meant that the globe has become a space, with new asymmetries, for an increasing intertwinement of the lives of people and, consequently, of a greater blurring of normative definitions as well as a place for re-definition, imagined and real. As this book Contemporary African Cultural Productions has done, researching into African culture and cultural productions that derive from it allows us, among other things, to enquire into definitions, explore historical dimensions, and interrogate the political dimensions to presentation and representation. The book therefore offers us an intervention that goes beyond the normative literary and cultural studies main foci of race, difference and identity; notions which, while important in themselves might, without the necessary historicizing and interrogating, result in a discourse that rather re-inscribes the very patterns that necessitate writing against. This book is an invaluable compendium to scholars, researchers, teachers, students and others who specialize on different aspects of African culture and cultural productions, as well as cultural centers and general readers.

Download or read book Pour Rire (?) written by and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily meant to host studies about the drama of the English - and European - Renaissance, as well as the culture in which it is rooted, the THETA series aims to be a forum of exchange and debate. As in the previous issues the topic of the present volume, which derives from the Eighth Round Table on Tudor Drama held at Tours in June 2000, the problematics of puzzling laughter, is addressed in various dramatic works of the Tudor period. Explicit or merely assumed, such occurrences of an intrinsically diverse and ambivalent phenomenon are hardly amenable to the stereotypes of comedy. In their different ways the nineteen essays in the volume focus on interpretations which relate laughter to the dramatic and aesthetic economy of the works considered, probe its links with medical theory, with genre or intellectual views influential at the time or again, beyond the pregnancy of zeitgeist and functional uses, suggest the relevance of recent assumptions by cognitive science. Consacrée à la publication d'études sur le théâtre de la renaissance européenne - et d'abord anglaise - ainsi que sur la culture qui le nourrit, la collection THETA se veut lieu de rencontre et de débat, accueillant sans exclusive toutes les approches. Ce sixième recueil issu de la 8e Table Ronde du Théâtre Tudor tenue à Tours en juin 2000, est consacré aux formes énigmatiques du rire dans diverses pièces de théâtre empruntées, comme pour les précédents volumes, à l'ensemble de la période Tudor. Manifestes ou présumées mais irréductibles aux stéréotypes du comique, ces occurrences d'un phénomène intrinsèquement lourd de sens multiples bénéficient dans les dix-neuf essais d'explications croisées. Celles-ci tentent d'évaluer les liens fonctionnels avec l'économie de l'oeuvre, de sonder la relation aux théories médicales ou intellectuelles du temps, ou à telle autre circonstance culturelle, et encore recourent, par delà les prégnances du zeitgeist et du fonctionnalisme, aux récentes hypothèses des sciences de la cognition.
