Les Œuvres de la voix
La voix, souvent dématérialisée, est généralement réduite à son contenu, et dans l’imaginaire commun, elle est perçue comme un simple moyen de communication. Cependant, il est crucial de reconnaître son potentiel d’action. La voix agit et incarne une manière unique d’être au monde, en étant à la fois une forme de proximité et un moyen de soulèvement contre toute forme d’appropriation de la vie. L’art a fréquemment fait usage de cette puissance de la voix, en la déformant, en la démystifiant, en écoutant son silence ou en la faisant vaciller dans le processus de traduction. Ainsi, la voix ne se limite pas à être une onde invisible et articulée qui traverse l’...
In a Maelstrom
The first concise history of Russian-Jewish literary prose, this book discusses Russian-Jewish literarature in four periods, analyzing the turning points (1881–82, 1897, 1917) and proposing that the selected epoch (1860–1940) represents a special strand that was unfairly left out of both Russian and Jewish national literatures. Based on theoretical sources on the subject, the book establishes the criteria of dual cultural affiliation, and in a survey of Russian-Jewish literature presents the pitfalls of assimilation and discusses different forms of anti-Semitism. After showing the oeuvre of 18 representative authors as a whole, the book analyzes a number of characteristic novels and short stories in terms of contemporary literary studies. Many texts discussed have not been reprinted since their first publication. The material offers indispensable information not only for comparative and literary studies but for multicultural, historical, ethnographic, Judaist, religious and linguistic investigations as well.
The Mediatization of the Artist
This book offers trans-historical and trans-national perspectives on the image of “the artist” as a public figure in the popular discourse and imagination. Since the rise of notions of artistic autonomy and the simultaneous demise of old systems of patronage from the late eighteenth century onwards, artists have increasingly found themselves confronted with the necessity of developing a public persona. In the same period, new audiences for art discovered their fascination for the life and work of the artist. The rise of new media such as the illustrated press, photography and film meant that the needs of both parties could easily be satisfied in both words and images. Thanks to these “new” media, the artist was transformed from a simple producer of works of art into a public figure. The aim of this volume is to reflect on this transformative process, and to study the specific role of the media themselves. Which visual media were deployed, to what effect, and with what kind of audiences in mind? How did the artist, critic, photographer and filmmaker interact in the creation of these representations of the artist’s image?
COVID-19 Related Acute Vascular Distress Syndrome: from Physiopathology to Treatment
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world at end of 2019. More than a year after, the world is still struggling with three million deaths. From our early experience, we suggested that COVID-19 disease is a vascular disease and that the lung is probably more sensitive than other organs. This hypothesis led us to introduce in April 2020 the acronym “AVDS” for Acute Vascular Distress Syndrome. This acronym seems to be more appropriate for COVID-19 than the usual ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) acronym. At the lung level, the disease seems to be characterized, at any stage, by an increased pulmonary blood flow with an intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt. At the cellular level, vascular e...
La gamme
Tiré du site d'Incertain Sens: ""Grande Élection contestée pour la Présidence des Etats-Unis. Voyage de pêche à la baleine par un nommé Ismaël. Batailles sanglantes en Afghanistan." Ces lignes sont extraites de Moby Dick de Herman Melville, écrit et publié en 1851, sans aucun succès, malgré une grande ambition littéraire de concilier roman d'aventures et parabole mystique, genre épique et réflexion philosophique. Ces lignes, reproduites à la page 31 du livre de Christophe Viart, donnent la clé à la lecture de quelques unes des images de La Gamme : le drapeau américain qui brûle à Peshawar le 19 septembre 2001 (page 3), un homme qui se jette d'une des Twin Towers en feu le 11 septembre 2001 (page 5), la carte des combats en Afghanistan, publiée par Le Monde 2 le 11 octobre 2001 (page 19), et à d'autres. Mais pourquoi le "maudit bic" ? - L'auteur du livre découvre avec étonnement qu'au moment même où sortent La Gamme et Têtes ou queues , Peter Szondi publie un livre sur les prophéties de Melville."
Art Forgery
With the recent advent of technologies that make detecting art forgeries easier, the art world has become increasingly obsessed with verifying and ensuring artistic authenticity. In this unique history, Thierry Lenain examines the genealogy of faking and interrogates the anxious, often neurotic, reactions triggered in the modern art world by these clever frauds. Lenain begins his history in the Middle Ages, when the issue of false relics and miracles often arose. But during this time, if a relic gave rise to a cult, it would be considered as genuine even if it obviously had been forged. In the Renaissance, forgery was initially hailed as a true artistic feat. Even Michelangelo, the most reve...
