Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’Écriture est la peinture de la voix honours and celebrates the inestimable contributions that Professor Nicholas Cronk has made to our understanding of the Enlightenment. As director of the University of Oxford’s Voltaire Foundation, he has played a decisive role in eighteenth-century studies. In particular he has shaped our knowledge of Voltaire as a writer, celebrity and era-defining figure whose influence has continued to be felt through the centuries. Comprising essays by a host of internationally eminent scholars, this volume is a fitting tribute to the esteem and affection in which Nicholas Cronk is held as a colleague, teacher and mentor. These sixteen essays reflect his varied research interests, exploring questions central to the eighteenth century, such as the writing process, justice, revolution, as well as the legacy of the Enlightenment, and focussing on the central figure in Nicholas Cronk’s research: Voltaire. In sections devoted to Voltaire’s writing practices, to his involvement in political, literary and religious polemics, and finally to his legacy, the essays build on Nicholas Cronk’s scholarship and editorial achievements, opening up a new chapter in research on Voltaire. This volume is complemented by an online collection of essays which speak to other topics central to Nicholas Cronk’s interests, such as authorial identities, correspondence and aesthetics.

Download or read book East and West Modes of Communication written by Evangelos Chrysos and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The End of Antiquity saw an increase in the divide between East and West. This crucial development in the history of the Late and Post-Roman World was addressed in a series of linked papers delivered at the first plenary conference of the European Science Foundation's scientific programme on the Transformation of the Roman World, held in 1995. A group of leading scholars (Beat Brenk, Peter Brown, Averil Cameron, Christian Hannick, N. Oikonomedes, Lennard Ryden) addressed questions of social, cultural, artistic and linguistic change, concentrating largely on developments within the East, while changes in the West were explored in a series of responses (from Michel Banniard, Mayke de Jong, Alain Dierkens, Niels Hannestad, Walter Pohl, Ian Wood). In addition, the history of Late Roman and Visigothic Merida, the setting for the conference, was set out by Javier Arce. Together these papers constitute a major exploration of the social and cultural changes in East and West in the period of the Transformation of the Roman World. To this collection are added two papers, by Paolo Delogu and Thomas F.X. Noble, delivered in the course of the third and final plenary congress of the programme, held in Isernia in 1997, assessing the achievement of the whole project at the end of five years of conferences and workshops.

Download or read book Figures crois es d intellectuels written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tout discours visant à appréhender les intellectuels constitue un défi majoré, pour peu qu'une telle tentative se trouve conduite par les membres de ce groupe d'appartenance. Par la pluralité de ses figures, de ses trajectoires, de ses postures et de ses lieux d'actions, l'intellectuel intervient dans l'espace public, lieu de débats et condition nécessaire pour son existence et ses activités. Qu'il appartienne à l'élite ou qu'il soit qualifié de populaire, l'intellectuel est un acteur, un sujet agissant par le biais de ses productions polymorphes fondées le plus souvent sur un savoir critique. Celles-ci ont en commun de porter sur l'orientation des sociétés concernées, d'intervenir dans la vie de la Cité. Dans quelle mesure des intellectuels appartenant à différentes traditions linguistiques ou aux mêmes traditions partagent-ils des repères épistémologiques analogues ? Quelles sont les incidences de la mondialisation sur leurs productions scientifiques ? Comment se positionnent-ils dans les différents espaces d'expérimentation parfois douloureuse de la démocratie ? Etre un intellectuel dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales, signifie-t-il détenir, sans en avoir le monopole, un rôle prépondérant au plan éthique dans l'exigence et l'intention de vérité, dans la posture critique, la pratique du dialogue et la reconnaissance de l'autre ? S'appuyant sur des recherches empiriques effectuées en Afrique, en Europe, en Asie, le livre propose de cerner diverses figures contemporaines d'intellectuels, leur rôle aussi bien dans la jonction de leurs sociétés avec le reste du monde, que dans les constructions abouties ou non d'une sphère autonome du pouvoir politique.
Download or read book The Epoch of Universalism 1769 1989 L poque de l universalisme 1769 1989 written by Franck Hofmann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 witnessed the 30th anniversary of the German reunification. But the remembrance of the fall of the Berlin Wall coincided with another event of global importance that caught much less attention: the 250th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s birth. There is an undeniable historical and philosophical dimension to this coincidence. Napoleon’s appearance on the scene of world history seems to embody European universalism (soon thereafter in the form of a ‘modern’ imperial project); whilst scholars such as Francis Fukuyama saw in the events of 1989 its historical fulfilment. Today, we see more clearly that the fall of the Berlin Wall stands for an epistemic earthquake, which generated a world that can no longer be grasped through universal concepts. Here, we deal with the idea of Europe and of its relation to the world itself. Picking up on this contingency of world history with an ironic wink, the volume analyses in retrospect the epoch of European universalism. It focusses on its dialectics, polemically addressing and remembering both 1769 and 1989. L’année 2019 a été marquée par le 30e anniversaire de la réunification de l’Allemagne, éclipsant un autre événement d’envergure mondiale : le 250e anniversaire de Napoléon Bonaparte. La dimension philosophico-historique de cette coïncidence ne peut pourtant pas être négligée : si l’arrivée de Bonaparte sur la scène de l’histoire mondiale semble incarner l’avènement de l’universalisme européen (bientôt amené à prendre sa forme « moderne » et impériale), certains penseurs ont suggéré, avec Francis Fukuyama, que « 1989 » marquait son accomplissement historique. Aujourd’hui, il apparaît au contraire que la chute du mur de Berlin a été un véritable tremblement de terre épistémique, et rendu inopérants les concepts universels. Dans le monde d’après, c’est à l’idée d’Europe et à sa relation au monde que nous avons affaire. Revenant par un geste ironique sur cette contingence historique, le présent volume se veut une analyse rétrospective de l’époque de l’universalisme, dans toute la dialectique que les commémorations de 1769/1989 ont fait surgir.
