This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the ages, the pursuit of Happiness has been at the heart of the needs and desires each individual would seek to fulfill, while as a concept, Happiness has always resonated strongly in poetic as well as philosophical, sociological and psychological contexts. But what about Happiness today, in a world dominated by technology, driven by productivity and dictated by efficiency? Does Happiness still feature in contemporary fiction in any significant way? Or has it perhaps gone underground, adopting different guises? Would we still call that “duty of happiness” that Pascal Bruckner saw as “present at the second half of the twentieth century” a relevant force today? Or has it waned perceptibly? The articles brought together in this volume seek to work out answers to these and similar questions, creatively addressing the imminent risks but also eagerly following up the intriguing possibilities one encounters when interrogating Happiness in the contemporary novel. Originally based on an international conference organized at the University of Haifa, Israel, in May 2010, the volume is structured around the axes we found useful as a basis for the various approaches towards Happiness in Europe and the historical and social events that influenced the writing of Happiness as they defined the 20th century and have impacted on the 21st: the Holocaust, the Soviet dystopia, consumerism, postmodernism, “everyday life,” the various as yet unarticulated new modes of life they have given rise to, and so on. A new writing of happiness then? At the very least this volume targets the contemporary novel without wanting to solidify works, instead taking into account the fluctuations Happiness has been subjected to, and the diversity and especially the paradoxes it has created, while we have been keen to preserve a “precise” reading of the texts and have felt compelled to respect and preserve the particular features that make the writings of the authors we focus on stand out. Thème philosophique aussi bien que poétique, sociologique et psychologique, le bonheur s’édifie à la mesure de chacun. « N’est-il pas vrai que, nous autres hommes, nous désirons tous être heureux ? » (Platon). Or dans notre monde actuel dominé par la technique, la recherche à outrance du productif et de l’efficacité, qu’en est-il du bonheur ? Est-il encore présent aux écritures romanesques contemporaines ? Sous quelles formes se présenterait sa recherche ? Ce « devoir de bonheur propre à la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle » dont parle Pascal Bruckner, continue-t-il toujours à être d’actualité ? S’est-il renforcé ou, au contraire, s’est-il affaibli? Le projet d’un questionnement du bonheur dans le roman contemporain comportait de gros risques, mais il offrait en même temps des possibilités stimulantes. A la suite du colloque international organisé à l’université de Haïfa en mai 2010, les textes réunis dans ce livre, cherchent à élaborer des éléments de réponse à ces questions. Le volume offre un état des lieux du bonheur dans le roman depuis 1980 et présente une large diversité d’approches, de définitions, d’interrogations sur l’écriture du bonheur sur trois décennies. Le recueil s’articule autour d’axes qui ont servi de base aux différentes approches du bonheur en Europe et d’événements historiques et sociaux qui ont pu influencer l’écriture du bonheur aux différentes périodes du XXe et XXe siècles, telles que l’Holocauste, la dystopie en Russie, le postmodernisme et le consumérisme, le quotidien, les différents paradoxes du bonheur, les nouveaux modes de vie. Nouvelle écriture du bonheur? Du moins, ce volume vise-t-il le contemporain sans figer les œuvres, tout en tenant compte des fluctuations du sujet, de sa diversité, de ses paradoxes surtout, tout en conservant la lecture précise des textes et en respectant la particularité de l’écriture des auteurs traités.

Download or read book Images Des Corps written by Jérôme Game and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ces dernières années ont vu se développer un important effort théorique et critique sur la question du corps au cinéma : comment ce dernier représente-t-il les formes du corps mais aussi ses puissances (gestes, désirs, pulsions, tendances hors cadre, hors champs, hors discours ou hors normes) ? Comment rend-il compte des contextes cognitifs, culturels, politiques et technologiques associés à ? ou affectés par ? la fabrique des corps à travers l?histoire ? Les films eux-mêmes ont eu recours au corps comme figure ou motif privilégié et ont pleinement participé de ce questionnement. Contribuant à cette réflexion en cours le présent volume s?attache à étudier la question de la représentation corporelle en la rapportant à celle des devenirs concrets du cinéma, que ce soit dans ses dispositifs propres ou ses rencontres avec d?autres régimes d?image (notamment la vidéo et la photographie). L?ambition est en définitive d?offrir une sorte d?état des lieux de la question qui rayonnerait dans plusieurs directions : mise à l?épreuve des concepts ; articulation entre perspectives théoriques ; poétique des oeuvres ; zoom sur certains points clés du rapport corps/image (la question de la vitesse notamment) ; enjeux culturels, politiques, esthétique et de genre ; question du récit, etc. C?est sur ces théâtres que se déploient les études réunies ici, chacune avec sa méthodologie et ses objets propres mais toutes envisageant la notion élargie de corps-image (au sens d?une matériologie générale du cinéma) comme possible paradigme critique.

Book excerpt: The first volume of the two-volume set Body, Language and Mind focuses on the concept of embodiment, understood in most general terms as "the bodily basis of phenomena such as meaning, mind, cognition and language". The volume offers a representative, multi- and interdisciplinary state-of-the-art collection of papers on embodiment and brings together a large variety of different perspectives, from cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, semiotics and artificial intelligence. Being envisioned as a reader of sorts in theoretical and empirical research on embodiment, the book revolves around several core issues that have been addressed previously, to a large degree independently, in various disciplines. In particular the volume illustrates the diversity of notions of embodiment that has arisen in various disciplines over the last twenty years, and addresses the question how these different interpretations relate to each other, i.e. are they different aspects of or different perspectives on the same phenomena, or do they actually contradict each other? For this purpose, several aspects of cognition and language, such as phenomenal experience, perception, action, conceptualization, communication, meaning creation, social interaction and culture, are illuminated from the perspective of different theories of embodiment. The contributions are integrated through cross-connections between individual authors’ papers and through an introductory essay that identifies the different strands of research, the central issues that they share, and the synergies that can be gained from addressing embodiment from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Download or read book The Technical Image written by Horst Bredekamp and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In science and technology, the images used to depict ideas, data, and reactions can be as striking and explosive as the concepts and processes they embody—both works of art and generative forces in their own right. Drawing on a close dialogue between the histories of art, science, and technology, The Technical Image explores these images not as mere illustrations or examples, but as productive agents and distinctive, multilayered elements of the process of generating knowledge. Using beautifully reproduced visuals, this book not only reveals how scientific images play a constructive role in shaping the findings and insights they illustrate, but also—however mechanical or detached from individual researchers’ choices their appearances may be—how they come to embody the styles of a period, a mindset, a research collective, or a device. Opening with a set of key questions about artistic representation in science, technology, and medicine, The Technical Image then investigates historical case studies focusing on specific images, such as James Watson’s models of genes, drawings of Darwin’s finches, and images of early modern musical automata. These case studies in turn are used to illustrate broad themes ranging from “Digital Images” to “Objectivity and Evidence” and to define and elaborate upon fundamental terms in the field. Taken as a whole, this collection will provide analytical tools for the interpretation and application of scientific and technological imagery.

This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'accès au passé, par l'archéologie, l'histoire ou l'exposition, se fonde sur des médiations. Parmi elles, les reconstitutions ou décors d'exposition sont des mises en scène du patrimoine qui font souvent l'objet de critiques. Par leurs aspects spectaculaire et théâtral, elles ne donneraient qu'une illusion de la présence du passé. Elles seraient superficielles, sinon fausses en regard des objets patrimoniaux qu'elles mettent en scène. La fiction n'est-elle pas antinomique du patrimoine et des savoirs garants de son authenticité ? Cet ouvrage montre que les mises en scène sont aussi un moyen de soutenir la force symbolique et l'authenticité du patrimoine. L'analyse d'expositions concrètes de patrimoine archéologique permet de comprendre comment elles construisent une expérience du temps pour le visiteur et un type de médiation original. La construction du discours spatial et l'articulation des éléments fictionnels et des éléments authentiques deviennent alors déterminantes.
