Scenting Salvation
This book explores the role of bodily, sensory experience in early Christianity (first – seventh centuries AD) by focusing on the importance of smell in ancient Mediterranean culture. Following its legalization in the fourth century Roman Empire, Christianity cultivated a dramatically flourishing devotional piety, in which the bodily senses were utilized as crucial instruments of human-divine interaction. Rich olfactory practices developed as part of this shift, with lavish uses of incense, holy oils, and other sacred scents. At the same time, Christians showed profound interest in what smells could mean. How could the experience of smell be construed in revelatory terms? What specifically...

Claude Simon
This collection of essays celebrates the work of the French Nobel prize-winning novelist Claude Simon. Scholars reconsider the fifty years of Simon's fiction in the light of his large-scale autobiographical novel, 'Le Jardin des Plantes' (1997). From a variety of perspectives - postmodernist, psychoanalytic, aesthetic - chapters reflect on the central paradox of Simon's work: his writing and rewriting of an experience of war so disruptive and traumatic that words can never be adequate to communicate it.
The Topographic Imaginary
Since the early 1980s, art photographers from metropolitan France have been training their lenses on ordinary landscapes throughout the country they call home. The Topographic Imaginary is the first book to study this important and flourishing trend. It examines work by artists who meld documentary and creative modes to attune viewers to places that mainstream culture tends to tune out, but which, as Ari J. Blatt argues, are in fact more meaningful than they initially appear. From views of building sites in Paris, peri-urban edgelands, or a tangle of trees in a forest, to those that ponder the play of light and shadow on roadside fields in Normandy or the tacky colors painted on dated villag...

Otro maldito homenaje ...
Otro maldito homenaje ... sollte eigentlich keine Festgabe heißen dürfen, die einen verdienten Romanisten aus Anlass seines bevorstehenden Ruhestands ehren will. Es sei denn, der Geehrte hat sich Zeit seines Forscherlebens und Professorendaseins als erklärter Festschriftenskeptiker zu erkennen gegeben. Da bot es sich dann an, diese etwas andere, vielleicht sogar subversive Festschrift mit dem abgewandelten Titel eines spanischen Romans zu überschreiben, den Jochen Mecke nur allzu gerne zitiert. Inhaltlich folgen die Beiträge dieser Ehrung selbstverständlich den Spuren des Geehrten und handeln über die Themenbereiche, die ihn über Jahrzehnte hinweg in besonderer Weise beschäftigt haben: Zeit, Raum und Medien. Sie tut es jedoch würzig kurz und, was ihre eigenen Formen und Gattungen angeht, in jeglicher Weise kreativ. Befreit von den Fesseln der unbedingten, aber eben manchmal doch etwas langweiligen Wissenschaftlichkeit, bieten sie eine vergnügliche Mischung aus fast Ernstem und hintergründig Unernstem, in der auch Persönliches und zweckfrei Literarisches einen Platz haben dürfen.

Con este libro nos acercaremos a la fusión del universo juanramoniano con el de Jean Giono a través de elementos comunes como el mar, el sol, la escritura o simplemente por la convergencia de dos miradas mágicas...
