Book excerpt: Le corps humain ? Chacun aujourd'hui en connaît, ne serait-ce que de manière approximative, la structure, les organes et leurs fonctions. Or ce savoir, si commun semble-t-il désormais, est d'invention récente. Très longtemps, le corps, ses mouvements, ses humeurs et ses maux sont demeurés énigmatiques et inexplicables. De ce qui se passe sous la peau, la compréhension a été lente. Elle fait l'objet de ce livre, qui étudie ensemble progrès des connaissances médicales et évolution des représentations corporelles. Elles ne peuvent en effet être dissociées, tant il apparat que le regard est le premier moment de la compréhension. Léonard dessine des charpentes osseuses, des muscles en extension, des abdomens en coupe et des crânes décalottés. Dürer scrute son reflet d'homme au miroir comme il examine plantes rares et animaux communs. L'art de la Renaissance - peinture, sculpture, gravure - est un relevé méthodique des apparences, observation attentive des formes, tentative d'intelligence de l'humain. Avant qu'il en soit ainsi, il a fallu, tout au long du Moyen Age, apprendre à représenter les volumes, leur donner galbe et ombre et, lentement, s'affranchir des conventions traditionnelles et des règles religieuses. Pour qu'il en soit ainsi, il faut encore tenir à distance les habitudes d'idéalisation qui dictent à l'artiste canons classiques et proportions parfaites, au mépris de la vérité physique. Au risque d'être tenu pour hérétique, il faut pénétrer dans les territoires du difforme et du monstrueux et se hasarder jusqu'au morbide et à l'insupportable. Ces lents progrès du regard ne peuvent se décrire en s'en tenant aux seules données de l'histoire de l'art. Codes sociaux et usages hygiéniques, théories cosmologiques et rêveries poétiques, réflexions politiques et lecture des Anciens : autant d'éléments nécessaires à l'analyse. Ils sont ici réunis afin de montrer combien la révélation du corps est aussi invention dune nouvelle civilisation, la nôtre.

Book excerpt: CONTRAIREMENT A LA PEINTURE, LA SCULPTURE EST CONSIDEREE COMME LE PARENT PAUVRE DES BEAUX-ARTS. L'ESTHETIQUE, FONDEE SUR LA METAPHYSIQUE PLATONICIENNE DU VISIBLE, VOIT EN ELLE UN OBJET LACUNAIRE QUI NE PEUT SE VOIR D'UN POINT DE VUE UNIQUE ET DOMINANT. CETTE "LACUNE" TIENT AU FAIT QUE LA SCULPTURE EST CORPS ET NON IDEE. SEUL LE SUJET TRANSCENDANTAL (DIEU) POURRAIT EN EFFET VOIR UNE SCULPTURE CONFORMEMENT AUX CRITERES DE L'IDEE : SOUS TOUS SES ASPECTS SIMULTANEMENT. POUR RENDRE SA DIGNITE A LA SCULPTURE, NOUS DEVONS DONC EN PASSER PAR UNE CRITIQUE DES FONDEMENTS METAPHYSIQUES ET THEOLOGIQUES DE LA CONSCIENCE TRANSCENDANTALE, AFIN DE RESTITUER A NOTRE PERCEPTION HUMAINE (ENGLOBANT VOIR ET TOUCHER) UNE APPREHENSION JUSTE DE L'OBJET SCULPTE. CETTE CRITIQUE IMPLIQUE LA REMISE EN CAUSE DES NOTIONS DE VOLUME ET D'ESPACE, AUTREMENT DIT UNE DECONSTRUCTION RADICALE DES PRESUPPOSES DE L'ESTHETIQUE TRANSCENDANTALE.
Book Synopsis The Telling of the Act by : Peter Maxwell Cryle
Download or read book The Telling of the Act written by Peter Maxwell Cryle and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells how the diverting array of pleasures in eighteenth-century libertine fiction gave way, through a process of thematic drift and realignment, to a powerfully linear story that actually defined sex and the gender roles pertaining to it. Many of the key notions in modern talk about sex are in fact narrative ones: climax, foreplay, and the sex act are all said to lie at the heart of human sexuality. But 'The Telling of the Act' questions whether these notions deserve to be thought of as timeless, and in fact locates their emergence in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Book Synopsis Paganism in the Middle Ages by : Carlos G. Steel
Download or read book Paganism in the Middle Ages written by Carlos G. Steel and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the persistence, resurgence, threat, fascination, and repression of various forms of pagan culture are studied in an interdisciplinary perspective from late antiquity to the upcoming Renaissance. The contributions deal with the survival of pagan beliefs and practices as well as with the Christianization of pagan rural populations and with the different strategies of oppression of pagan beliefs. They deal with the problems raised by the encounter with pagan cultures outside the Muslim world and examine how philosophers attempted to "save" the great philosophers and poets from ancient culture notwithstanding their paganism. The contributors also study the fascination of classic "pagan" culture among friars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and the imitation of pagan models of virtue and mythology in Renaissance poetry. Contributors: Carlos Steel, KU Leuven-University of Leuven; John Marenbon, Trinity College, Cambridge; Ludo Milis, University of Ghent; Marc-André Wagner, Brigitte Meijns, University of Leuven; Rob Meens, University of Utrecht; Edina Bozoky, Université de Poitiers; Henryk Anzulewicz, Albertus-Magnus Institut, Bonn; Robrecht Lievens, KU Leuven-University of Leuven; Stefano Pittaluga, Università di Genova; Anna Akasoy, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum

Book Synopsis Handprints on Hubble by : Kathryn D. Sullivan
Download or read book Handprints on Hubble written by Kathryn D. Sullivan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first American woman to walk in space recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky; transformed our knowledge of black holes; found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars; and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built. Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby,” her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys.” (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA’s storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it’s like “being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time”), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster. Sullivan explains that “maintainability” was designed into Hubble, and she describes the work of inventing the tools and processes that made on-orbit maintenance possible. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble’s mirrors—leaving literal and metaphorical “handprints on Hubble.” Handprints on Hubble was published with the support of the MIT Press Fund for Diverse Voices.

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age by : Sarah-Grace Heller
Download or read book A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age written by Sarah-Grace Heller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the medieval period, people invested heavily in looking good. The finest fashions demanded careful chemistry and compounds imported from great distances and at considerable risk to merchants; the Church became a major consumer of both the richest and humblest varieties of cloth, shoes, and adornment; and vernacular poets began to embroider their stories with hundreds of verses describing a plethora of dress styles, fabrics, and shopping experiences. Drawing on a wealth of pictorial, textual and object sources, the volume examines how dress cultures developed – often to a degree of dazzling sophistication – between the years 800 to 1450. Beautifully illustrated with 100 images, A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on textiles, production and distribution, the body, belief, gender and sexuality, status, ethnicity, visual representations, and literary representations.
Download or read book Sade written by Caroline Warman and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sade's personal fate has too long encouraged critics to concentrate on his personal isolation and personal revolt. Extraordinary as his life was, the light that it throws on his work casts into shade the intellectual context that was much more important to its generation than his actual experience. This book is about how Sade took a pure version of eighteenth-century materialism and rendered it into an even purer form of pornography. The eternal yet unequal clashing of atomic bodies became the endless torture of human ones. It traces the intellectual genealogy that links Sade to his materialist forebears (d'Holbach, Condillac, Buffon, Diderot, La Mettrie, Robinet, Delisle de Sales) and shows how the germs of cruel pleasure were already present in elements of their work, as much in their rhetoric and stylistics as in their arguments. Sade, aided by his grounding in the interpretative techniques of illicit clandestine and libertine literature, read them attentively and developed their presentation as well as their content into a flawlessly logical and self-referential system. Thus the arrogant philosopher (the author / the libertine) did not just mouth his cruel positions but enacted them, proving the behaviour of matter as he/she did so. This reading of Sade's work refers its principal elements - shape, style and contents - back to the hardcore of materialism, offering an account which, while not making it more tolerable, renders it at once more accessible and more comprehensible.
Book Synopsis Naturalisme et excès visuels by : Catherine Dousteyssier-Khoze
Download or read book Naturalisme et excès visuels written by Catherine Dousteyssier-Khoze and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le sillage des travaux incontournables de David Baguley sur Zola et le Naturalisme, le recueil intitulé Naturalisme et excès visuels: pantomime, parodie, image, fête. Mélanges en l’honneur de David Baguley cherche à éclairer l’esthétique naturaliste d’une lumière nouvelle, à travers le concept d’excès. Un excès naturaliste qui devient synonyme, tout à tour ou simultanément, de théâtralisation, de surcodage, de débordement des cadres génériques et/ou littéraires. À l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur du mouvement littéraire naturaliste, il s’agit de mettre en évidence certaines énergies naturalistes à travers quatre grandes pistes ou articulations qui n’ont été que peu abordées ensemble par la recherche: celles de pantomime, de parodie, d’image et de fête. Chacune de ces facettes va, à sa façon, permettre d’affirmer ou de réaffirmer la prédominance de l’excès, du corporel, du visuel, inscrits au cœur d’une esthétique naturaliste foncièrement moderne.

Book Synopsis Prefects, Governors and Commissioners by : Gildas Tanguy
Download or read book Prefects, Governors and Commissioners written by Gildas Tanguy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Prefect an exception, surviving only in France and some countries influenced by Napoleon? No! This book tells the varied stories of the resilience, in most European States and under different names, of the prefectoral institution. It is the first comparative book in English studying these territorial administrators who have a go-between role in centre-periphery relations and a nodal role in territorial governance. Gathering a multidisciplinary team of scholars under the auspices of the European Group for Public Administration, this volume offers a fine-grained analysis of 17 national cases, examines cross-country data, and proposes a theoretical frame made of a Weberian ideal-type with three variants, to better comprehend and explain the permanence and changes of the prefectoral figure.
Book Synopsis Masculinities in Contemporary Africa by : Egodi Uchendu
Download or read book Masculinities in Contemporary Africa written by Egodi Uchendu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although gender and non-gender scholars have studied men, such an academic exercise requires a critical and focused study of masculine subjects in particular social contexts, which is what this book attempts to do. This empirically rich collection of essays, the seventh of the CODESRIA Gender Series, deals with critical examinations of various shades and ramifications of Africa's masculinities and what these portend for the peoples of Africa and for gender relations in the continent. So much has changed in terms of notions and expressions of masculinities in Africa since ancient times, but many aspects of contemporary masculinities were fashioned during and since the colonial period. The papers in this volume were initially discussed at the 2005 month-long CODESRIA Gender Institute in Dakar. The contributors are gender scholars drawn from various disciplines in the wide fields of the humanities and the social sciences with research interests in the critical study of men and masculinities in Africa. The CODESRIA Gender Series aims at keeping alive and nourishing the African social science knowledge base with insightful research and debates that challenge conventional wisdom, structures and ideologies that are narrowly informed by caricatures of gender realities. The series strives to showcase the best in African gender research and provide a platform for emerging new talents to flower.
