Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern or Why Style Matters
Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern, or Why Style Matters argues against the traditional view that Marcel Proust wrote pastiches, that is, texts that imitate the style of another author, to master his literary predecessors while sharpening his writerly quill. On the contrary, James F. Austin demonstrates that Proust’s oeuvre, and In Search of Lost Time in particular, deploy pastiche to other ends: Proust’s pastiches, in fact, “do things with words” to create powerful real-world effects. His works are indeed performative acts that forge social relationships, redefine our ideas of literature, and even work against oppressive political and economic discourses. Building on the “speech...
Ovid and the Moderns
"The reasons for the conspicuous popularity of Ovid--his life as well as his works--at the turn of the new millennium bear investigation.... This book speaks of the new bodies assumed in the twentieth century by the poems and tales to which Ovid gave their classic form--including prominently the account of his own life, which has been hailed by many writers of our time as the archetype of exile.... I intend to suggest some of the reasons for Ovid's appeal to different writers and different generations."--from the PrefaceTheodore Ziolkowski approaches Ovid's Latin poetry as a comparatist, not as a classicist, and maintains that the contextualization of individual works helps place them in a l...
Reading Images from the Past
Reading Images from the Past is conceived as a Festschrift for Karl Enenkel. The contributors include art historians, literary scholars, and historians, and the topics cover a wide range of periods, countries, and cultural contexts. They explore the complex relation between word and image, consider the rhetorical and hermeneutic functions of various types of image-making, and examine theories and practices of knowledge production across various media. They also reflect on the multi-faceted uses of the past in early modern European culture within debates on art, antiquarian studies, book culture, literature, and historiography. Throughout the volume, special attention is paid to the interacti...
Nomads
A Sunday Times Best History Book of the Year A Spectator Book of the Year 'A book of beauty and beguiling rhythm that offers unsettling lessons about our present-day world of borders' The Times 'Thoughtful, lyrical yet ambitiously panoramic . . . an important, generous and beautifully-written book' William Dalrymple The ground-breaking story of Nomadic peoples on the move across history. Humans have been on the move for most of history. Even after the great urban advancement lured people into the great cities of Uruk, Babylon, Rome and Chang'an, most of us continued to live lightly on the move and outside the pages of history. But recent discoveries have revealed another story . . . Wanderin...

Et nous mangerons le désastre
"Je t'aime Seigneur ! Tu me connais infiniment mieux que moi-même. Tu m'as guéri par surprise, sans que je T'aie rien demandé, (Tu savais que je t'avais presque entièrement oublié, malgré toutes les choses prodigieuses que Tu avais faites pour moi avant (j'ai honte de T'avoir oublié, mais il es vrai que ce n'était que ma faiblesse humaine ; en fait, c'était peut-être même tout simplement la volonté de Ton Père.)) Et en plus, Tu m'as guéri avec beaucoup d'humour. Pour me faire plaisir, parce que Tu sais très bien que j'aime énormément l'humour !" Et nous mangerons le désastre s'affirme "ovniesque" et stupéfie. Les textes qui le constituent ont été écrits au fil des années, et non pas pour constituer une somme - et pourtant, c'est bien une même oeuvre qui texte après texte advient comme naturellement. Entre le récit de deux guérisons miraculeuses, ce qui se déploie - réflexions littéraires, politiques, amoureuses, récits disparates - est toujours autre chose aussi et surtout, et cette autre chose, c'est l'ovni - objet vivant non identifiable.
Venice
"Memory's images, once they are fixed in words, are erased," Marco Polo said. "Perhaps I am afraid of losing Venice all at once, if I speak of it, or perhaps, speaking of other cities, I have already lost it, little by little." -- Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities Venice, 'La Serenissima', is one of the most breathtaking cities in the world. A floating labyrinth; the world's greatest museum, frozen in time; a cultural jewel, slowly sinking into the lagoon from which it rose; tourist-trap, irresistible muse. From its earliest beginnings in the 7th century, Venice has been a magnetic centre of trade and culture, wealth and power and has acted as a crossroads for an array of religious pilgrims an...

Et moi j'ai vu et je rends témoignage : Marie Mère de l'Église
Paul VI, en promulguant "Lumen Gentium", a proclamé Marie Mère de l'Eglise. Il s'ensuit nécessairement que l'Eglise est fille de Marie. Il y a là une définition authentique de l'Eglise elle-même : si l'Eglise est "fille", alors elle ne s'est pas donné la vie, elle ne s'est pas inventée elle-même. C'est le coeur de l'intention de cet ouvrage : montrer O combien l'Incarnation a été exactement préparée, l'Eglise minutieusement organisée, et, sous la conduite de Marie, les évangiles composés avec soin. "Marie Mère de Mémoire", publié en 2019, allait dans ce sens en proposant un simple récit sans justification. Après 5 ans d'approfondissements, "Marie Mère de l'Eglise" appor...
Florence Sketchbook
Florence − capital of Tuscany, birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO Word Heritage Site − is shown in this book through the depictions of its architectural wealth, iconic monuments and its less well-known areas. From churches to museums, gardens to palaces, and small squares to twisting narrow streets, Fabrice Moireau has created a vivid portrait of the city where the Medicis, Leonardo da Vinci and Dante Alighieri once lived. The artist's palette reveals the grandeur of the history of Florence, as well as its charms and atmosphere.
