Cet ouvrage, issu d'un colloque organisé à Lyon en juin 1998, montre à travers des études de figures mythiques (la Muse...), ainsi que des oeuvres et des situations singulières d'écrivains, la différence des sexes dans l'histoire poétique du XIXe siècle, ainsi que les différents aspects de la relation entre les deux sexes dans ses implications poétiques, culturelles, sociales et idéologiques.
This intellectual history study establishes Ballanche as an important figure in the intellectual life of early nineteenth-century France, and demonstrates how his religio-social project effected a critical step in the historical-mindedness of the Romantic period.
Hailed as one of the key theoreticians of modernism, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was also the most renowned restoration architect of his age, a celebrated medieval archaeologist and a fervent champion of Gothic revivalism. He published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture such as the Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle and Entretiens sur l’architecture, but also studies on warfare, geology and racial history. Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex intellectual development, mapping the attitudes he adopted toward the past, showing how restoration, in all its layered meaning, shaped his outlook. Through his life journey, we follow the route by which the technological subject was born out of nineteenth-century historicism.
