"Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815?915 "
Introducing the concept of music and painting as 'rival sisters' during the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary collection explores the productive exchange-from rivalry to inspiration to collaboration-between the two media in the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces the relationship between art and music, from the opposing claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900. This collection puts forward a more complex history of the relationship between art and music than has been described in earlier works, including an intermixing of models and distinctions between approaches to them. Individual essays from art history, musicology, and literature examine the growing influence of art upon music, and vice versa, in the works of Berlioz, Courbet, Manet, Fantin-Latour, Rodin, Debussy, and the Pre-Raphaelites, among other artists.
Art as experience of the living body / L’art comme experience du corps vivant
This book analyses the dynamic relationship between art and subjective consciousness, following a phenomenological, pragmatist and enactive approach. It brings out a new approach to the role of the body in art, not as a speculative object or symbolic material but as the living source of the imaginary. It contains theoretical contributions and case studies taken from various artistic practices (visual art, theatre, literature and music), Western and Eastern, the latter concerning China, India and Japan. These contributions allow us to nourish the debate on embodied cognition and aesthetics, using theory–philosophy, art history, neuroscience–and the authors’ personal experience as artist...
Installation art as experience of self, in space and time
Installation art has modified our relationship to art for over fifty years by soliciting the whole body, demonstrating its sensitivity to space, surroundings, and the living beings with which it is constantly interacting. This book analyses this modification of perception through phenomenological approaches convoking Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, as well as Levinas, Depraz, and the neuroscientist Varela. This theoretical framework is implicit in the various case studies which revisit works that have become classic or emblematic by Carl Andre, Bruce Nauman, Dan Graham; inaugural experiments that remain available only through photographic and written archives by Jean-Michel Sanejouand, Ph...

The Challenge of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
What is the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT)? What can be its beneficial impact on life in all its aspects, on education, and on research at the beginning of the 21st century? In this collection, contributions written by scholars from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America show that the CIT is by no means a traditionalist reaction to a secular globalized world. Addressing contemporary issues - economical, social, managerial, educational, religious, philosophical, and theological - at a local or global level, they also draw on the Judeo-Christian heritage as it has been and is still preserved, transmitted, and developed in the Catholic Church. They show that the CIT is a powerful creative imagination that is able to make a life-fostering difference in today's world. (Series: Glaube und Ethos - Vol. 10)
L'évolution de la langue et le traitement des «intraduisibles» au sein de la recherche
Dans les sciences humaines et les arts, il existe un véritable vocabulaire technique, parfois initiatique, qui peut rendre difficile la communication interdisciplinaire. Ce langage spécialisé est en effet souvent propre à une seule discipline, voire à un seul théoricien, et il est souvent porteur d’équivoques. Toutefois, le caractère flexible et fluctuant des termes est inhérent aux sciences humaines et si, parfois, il présente des inconvénients, souvent il en fait leur richesse. Les contributions de ce volume se sont concentrées sur l’appareillage théorique – le vocabulaire spécialisé – d’une discipline au contact d’autres langues, et sur les stratégies mises en place dans les interactions sociales entre des locuteurs de plusieurs langues, en s’intéressant aux procédés de traductions.

Asian and Feminist Philosophies in Dialogue
In this collection of original essays, international scholars put Asian traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, into conversation with one or more contemporary feminist philosophies, founding a new mode of inquiry that attends to diverse voices and the complex global relationships that define our world. These cross-cultural meditations focus on the liberation of persons from suffering, oppression, illusion, harmful conventions and desires, and other impediments to full personhood by deploying a methodology that traverses multiple philosophical styles, historical texts, and frames of reference. Hailing from the discipline of philosophy in addition to Asian, gender, and religious studies, the contributors offer a fresh take on the classic concerns of free will, consciousness, knowledge, objectivity, sexual difference, embodiment, selfhood, the state, morality, and hermeneutics. One of the first anthologies to embody the practice of feminist comparative philosophy, this collection creatively and effectively engages with global, cultural, and gender differences within the realms of scholarly inquiry and theory construction.
Extrême-Orient et Occident
Les relations culturelles entre l'Occident et l'Extrême-Orient intéressent depuis longtemps les intellectuels, qui ont cherché parfois à renouveler leurs langages et leurs pensées au contact de civilisations différentes. Voici quelques aspects de la relation complexe entre la musique et la culture occidentales et extrême-orientales. Une première partie retrace les relations franco-asiatiques dans le domaine culturel, une deuxième traite de l'inspiration extrême-orientale dans la musique occidentale et une troisième montre la permanence de cette influence et des échanges réciproques entre les deux cultures aux XXe et XXIe siècles au travers d'œuvres de compositeurs chinois.
