Book Synopsis Astonishment and Evocation by : Ivo Strecker
Download or read book Astonishment and Evocation written by Ivo Strecker and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All societies are shaped by arts, media, and other persuasive practices that can awe, captivate, enchant or otherwise seem to cast a spell on the audience. Likewise, scholarship itself often is driven by a sense of wonder and a willingness to be open to what lies beyond the obvious. This book broadens and deepens this perspective. Inspired by Stephen Tyler’s view of ethnography as an art of evocation, international scholars from the fields of aesthetics, anthropology, and rhetoric explore the spellbinding power of elusive meanings as people experience them in daily life and while gazing at works of art, watching films or studying other cultures. The book is divided into three parts covering the evocative power of visual art, the immersion in ritual and performance, and the reading, writing, and interpretation of texts. Taken as a whole, the contributions to the book demonstrate how astonishment and evocation deserve an important place in the conceptual repertoire of the human sciences.

Book Synopsis Turning On the Mind by : Tamara Chaplin
Download or read book Turning On the Mind written by Tamara Chaplin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1951, the eight o’clock nightly news reported on Jean-Paul Sartre for the first time. By the end of the twentieth century, more than 3,500 programs dealing with philosophy and its practitioners—including Bachelard, Badiou, Foucault, Lyotard, and Lévy—had aired on French television. According to Tamara Chaplin, this enduring commitment to bringing the most abstract and least visual of disciplines to the French public challenges our very assumptions about the incompatibility of elite culture and mass media. Indeed, it belies the conviction that television is inevitably anti-intellectual and the quintessential archenemy of the book. Chaplin argues that the history of the televising of philosophy is crucial to understanding the struggle over French national identity in the postwar period. Linking this history to decolonization, modernization, and globalization, Turning On the Mind claims that we can understand neither the markedly public role that philosophy came to play in French society during the late twentieth century nor the renewed interest in ethics and political philosophy in the early twenty-first unless we acknowledge the work of television. Throughout, Chaplin insists that we jettison presumptions about the anti-intellectual nature of the visual field, engages critical questions about the survival of national cultures in a globalizing world, and encourages us to rethink philosophy itself, ultimately asserting that the content of the discipline is indivisible from the new media forms in which it has found expression.
Book Synopsis Destroy the Copy – Plaster Cast Collections in the 19th–20th Centuries by : Annetta Alexandridis
Download or read book Destroy the Copy – Plaster Cast Collections in the 19th–20th Centuries written by Annetta Alexandridis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on two international conferences held at Cornell University and the Freie Universität of Berlin in 2010 and 2015, this volume is the first ever to explicitly address the destruction of plaster cast collections of ancient Mediterranean and Western sculpture. Focusing on Europe, the Americas, and Japan, art historians, archaeologists and a literary scholar discuss how different museum and academic traditions – national as well as disciplinary –, notions of value and authenticity, or colonialism impacted the fate of collections. The texts offer detailed documentation of degrees of destruction by spectacular acts of defacement, demolition, discarding, or neglect. They also shed light on the accompanying discourses regarding aesthetic ideals, political ideologies, educational and scholarly practices, or race. With destruction being understood as a critical part of reception, the histories of cast collections defy the traditional, homogenous narrative of rise and decline. Their diverse histories provide critical evidence for rethinking the use and display of plaster cast collections in the contemporary moment.
Book Synopsis Politics and the Individual in France 1930-1950 by : Jessica Wardhaugh
Download or read book Politics and the Individual in France 1930-1950 written by Jessica Wardhaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crises and conflicts of mid-century Europe highlight the fragility of individual life and commitment. Yet this was a time at which individuals engaged in politics on an unprecedented scale, whether in movements, parties and street politics, through culture, or by the choices confronted in war and occupation. Focusing on France, and bringing together historians of politics, literature, philosophy, art, and film, this volume sheds new light on the imagination and experience of the political individual in the age of the masses. From a controversial art exhibition on Algeria to the private diary of a Jewish lawyer in Occupied Paris, these case studies illuminate the specificities of French ideas and experiences in mid-century Europe. They also contribute to a deeper understanding of memory, agency, and responsibility in times of crisis.
Download or read book Art et politique written by Hans Cova and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors que nous nous questionnons aujourd'hui sur la pertinence de la réflexion esthétique, la question de sa fonction politique paraît revenir à l'ordre du jour. Faisant le constat des impasses de l'avant-gardisme et des apories de la subversion sponsorisée, nous en sommes venus à douter de la valeur ontologique de l'expérience esthétique, perdue dans une marchandisation aliénante du monde. L'histoire veut que cette "fin de l'art" soit la conséquence d'une fragmentation processuelle du politique. Pourtant, l'esthétique pose toujours la question de sa projection politique.

Download or read book Art et aliénation written by Jean-Marc Lachaud and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2012 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysant les théories de l'art proposées, du début du XXe siècle à aujourd'hui, par des philosophes revendiquant l'héritage de Karl Marx, interrogeant des démarches artistiques et littéraires proclamant leur caractère engagé, voire militant, cet ouvrage questionne la complexité des rapports qu'entretiennent l'esthétique et le politique. Les problématiques toujours actuelles concernant la particularité de la création artistique et littéraire et la singularité de l'expérience que suscitent les oeuvres, la dimension critique et utopique de l'art, y sont discutées, et par là se pose la question des enjeux liés à une philosophie, à une politique et à une esthétique de l'émancipation.
Book Synopsis LA PHILOSOPHIE DE L'ART, FONDATION ET FONDEMENTS by : Dominique Chateau
Download or read book LA PHILOSOPHIE DE L'ART, FONDATION ET FONDEMENTS written by Dominique Chateau and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'esthétique est partagée entre deux objets : l'art et le goût. Dominique Château réexamine ce double héritage, qui implique non seulement la relation de la philosophie à l'art (avant et après Hegel), la question du désintéressement, celle du Beau, mais encore l'histoire du nom de l'art et, dans son prolongement, les thèmes de la modernité, de l'avant-garde et du postmodernisme. L'auteur montre ainsi que la philosophie est légitimée à assumer la compréhension intellectuelle de l'art.
Book Synopsis La nature artiste by : Maryvonne Saison
Download or read book La nature artiste written by Maryvonne Saison and published by Éditions de la Sorbonne. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mikel Dufrenne a croisé les principales problématiques qui ont traversé la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Il les a considérées avec un regard attentif et critique, soucieux de tracer un chemin singulier mais désireux de s’inscrire dans une tradition de pensée philosophique spécifique et exigeante. La réception de son œuvre pose question : encensée dans les années 1950, elle s’est progressivement réduite en France, notamment vers les années 1970, alors qu’elle fait l’objet aujourd’hui d’un regain d’intérêt. L’étude entend montrer que de telles fluctuations sont liées au malentendu qui fait de Dufrenne l’auteur d’un seul livre, la Phénoménologie de l’expérience esthétique,qui à lui seul ne rend pas compte de l’originalité de sa pensée. Lire Dufrenne, c’est découvrir l’importance de sa réflexion éthique et politique et la stabilité d’une pensée dédiée à la défense des valeurs de « l’humain » et de « l’homme ». C’est aussi se livrer au plaisir de l’élaboration de fictions philosophiques répondant à la tentation de rationaliser une vision du monde par le biais d’une philosophie de la Nature relayée par la notion d’a priori. L’unité de cette œuvre réside dans l’hypothèse d’une Nature artiste que le philosophe veut penser dans le cadre d’une philosophie non théologique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui décrédibilisée par la pensée post-moderne qui la rejette, ou détournée de manière perverse par les idéologues qui se servent de ce concept pour légitimer l'actuel devenir du monde, l'utopie reste néanmoins un objet de confrontation et de polémique. Dans l'art actuel elle continue à se manifester principalement en termes de " micro-utopies " ou d'utopie technologique. Cet ouvrage cherche à faire le point sur le rapport entre l'art au XXe siècle et l'utopie, en donnant la parole à des théoriciens et à des artistes.
Book Synopsis Modernité en transit - Modernity in transit by : Walter Moser
Download or read book Modernité en transit - Modernity in transit written by Walter Moser and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’émergence de la Condition Postmoderne, il y a quelque 30 ans, ne marqua pas la fin de la modernité. Bien au contraire, les débats sur la modernité continuent, en parallèle avec ceux sur la question postmoderne. Les deux débats s’enchevêtrent, en fait, ce qui ne fait que complexifier la question de la modernité. S’y ajoute, depuis quelque temps, la problématique de la globalisation dont les liens avec la modernité sont à élucider. De fait, historiquement nous vivons dans les conséquences de la modernité, qu’il s’agisse de ses acquis positifs ou de ses ratés et risques. Nous sommes ses puînés et avons de la sorte à assumer les conditions de cette nouvelle situation historique. Les auteurs de ce volume relèvent le défi de la tâche qui nous incombe dans cette situation et qui consiste à repenser la modernité aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’articuler critiques, crises, paradoxes et risques de la modernité; sa mise au pluriel et sa complexification; la possibilité d’une « seconde » modernité. Mais tout cela en restant dans le paradigme moderne qui s’avère être encore efficace, toujours en transit. Dans un cadre résolument interdisciplinaire, ce volume réunit quatorze études qui abordent la modernité de multiples points de vue : philosophique, politique, sociologique, historique, esthétique, architectural, littéraire.
Book Synopsis Les arts du XXe siècle by : Carole Talon-Hugon
Download or read book Les arts du XXe siècle written by Carole Talon-Hugon and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D'un côté méprisé et taxé de toutes les fainéantises, de l'autre intellectualisé à l'extrême, l'art du siècle dernier a modifié tous les paradigmes : les codes ont éclaté, les artistes se sont multipliés et les oeuvres d'art elles-mêmes semblent avoir parfois disparu. Carole Talon-Hugon nous fait évoluer pas à pas dans une période plus ou moins mouvementée. De l'avant-garde dadaïste aux industries culturelles d'Adorno, les arts du XXe siècle marquent probablement l'un des moments les plus riches et les plus prolifiques de l'histoire de l'art.

Book Synopsis Romantic Catholics by : Carol E. Harrison
Download or read book Romantic Catholics written by Carol E. Harrison and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this well-written and imaginatively structured book, Carol E. Harrison brings to life a cohort of nineteenth-century French men and women who argued that a reformed Catholicism could reconcile the divisions in French culture and society that were the legacy of revolution and empire. They include, most prominently, Charles de Montalembert, Pauline Craven, Amélie and Frédéric Ozanam, Léopoldine Hugo, Maurice de Guérin, and Victorine Monniot. The men and women whose stories appear in Romantic Catholics were bound together by filial love, friendship, and in some cases marriage. Harrison draws on their diaries, letters, and published works to construct a portrait of a generation linked by a determination to live their faith in a modern world. Rejecting both the atomizing force of revolutionary liberalism and the increasing intransigence of the church hierarchy, the romantic Catholics advocated a middle way, in which a revitalized Catholic faith and liberty formed the basis for modern society. Harrison traces the history of nineteenth-century France and, in parallel, the life course of these individuals as they grow up, learn independence, and take on the responsibilities and disappointments of adulthood. Although the shared goals of the romantic Catholics were never realized in French politics and culture, Harrison’s work offers a significant corrective to the traditional understanding of the opposition between religion and the secular republican tradition in France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet essai répond à une double finalité. D'une part, il propose un parcours " initiatique " parmi des extraits d'œuvres picturales, musicales, et poétiques du XXe siècle et des " idées " leur étant contemporaines, issues de la philosophie et des sciences humaines. D'autre part, l'argumentation vise à étayer l'hypothèse de " correspondances " entre les langages des arts et des idées. Que dit leur " rencontre " face aux savoirs qu'ils portent en culture ?
