Book excerpt: Le corps humain ? Chacun aujourd'hui en connaît, ne serait-ce que de manière approximative, la structure, les organes et leurs fonctions. Or ce savoir, si commun semble-t-il désormais, est d'invention récente. Très longtemps, le corps, ses mouvements, ses humeurs et ses maux sont demeurés énigmatiques et inexplicables. De ce qui se passe sous la peau, la compréhension a été lente. Elle fait l'objet de ce livre, qui étudie ensemble progrès des connaissances médicales et évolution des représentations corporelles. Elles ne peuvent en effet être dissociées, tant il apparat que le regard est le premier moment de la compréhension. Léonard dessine des charpentes osseuses, des muscles en extension, des abdomens en coupe et des crânes décalottés. Dürer scrute son reflet d'homme au miroir comme il examine plantes rares et animaux communs. L'art de la Renaissance - peinture, sculpture, gravure - est un relevé méthodique des apparences, observation attentive des formes, tentative d'intelligence de l'humain. Avant qu'il en soit ainsi, il a fallu, tout au long du Moyen Age, apprendre à représenter les volumes, leur donner galbe et ombre et, lentement, s'affranchir des conventions traditionnelles et des règles religieuses. Pour qu'il en soit ainsi, il faut encore tenir à distance les habitudes d'idéalisation qui dictent à l'artiste canons classiques et proportions parfaites, au mépris de la vérité physique. Au risque d'être tenu pour hérétique, il faut pénétrer dans les territoires du difforme et du monstrueux et se hasarder jusqu'au morbide et à l'insupportable. Ces lents progrès du regard ne peuvent se décrire en s'en tenant aux seules données de l'histoire de l'art. Codes sociaux et usages hygiéniques, théories cosmologiques et rêveries poétiques, réflexions politiques et lecture des Anciens : autant d'éléments nécessaires à l'analyse. Ils sont ici réunis afin de montrer combien la révélation du corps est aussi invention dune nouvelle civilisation, la nôtre.

Download or read book Sade written by Caroline Warman and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sade's personal fate has too long encouraged critics to concentrate on his personal isolation and personal revolt. Extraordinary as his life was, the light that it throws on his work casts into shade the intellectual context that was much more important to its generation than his actual experience. This book is about how Sade took a pure version of eighteenth-century materialism and rendered it into an even purer form of pornography. The eternal yet unequal clashing of atomic bodies became the endless torture of human ones. It traces the intellectual genealogy that links Sade to his materialist forebears (d'Holbach, Condillac, Buffon, Diderot, La Mettrie, Robinet, Delisle de Sales) and shows how the germs of cruel pleasure were already present in elements of their work, as much in their rhetoric and stylistics as in their arguments. Sade, aided by his grounding in the interpretative techniques of illicit clandestine and libertine literature, read them attentively and developed their presentation as well as their content into a flawlessly logical and self-referential system. Thus the arrogant philosopher (the author / the libertine) did not just mouth his cruel positions but enacted them, proving the behaviour of matter as he/she did so. This reading of Sade's work refers its principal elements - shape, style and contents - back to the hardcore of materialism, offering an account which, while not making it more tolerable, renders it at once more accessible and more comprehensible.

Book excerpt: L'histoire de nos attitudes corporelles est le résultat d'une lutte d'influence entre trois grands courants de penséé du XXe siècle: La psychanalyse, La Phénoménologie, les sciences cognitives. Chaque courant aura constitué son analyse du corps humain autour d'un seul modèle: l'image du corps pour la psychanalyse, le corps vécu pour la phénoménologie, le cerveau/ordinateur pour les sciences cognitives. Ce livre propose des itinéraires dans ce corps dispersé par le développement des sciences humaines. Cette histoire des idéés indique la nécessité de fonder une unité de l'homme vivant. A défaut, le risque apparaît déjà, avec une socio-génétique, de réduire le développement et la plasticité du corps humain à l'expression d'un déterminisme désincarné.
Download or read book A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age written by Sarah-Grace Heller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the medieval period, people invested heavily in looking good. The finest fashions demanded careful chemistry and compounds imported from great distances and at considerable risk to merchants; the Church became a major consumer of both the richest and humblest varieties of cloth, shoes, and adornment; and vernacular poets began to embroider their stories with hundreds of verses describing a plethora of dress styles, fabrics, and shopping experiences. Drawing on a wealth of pictorial, textual and object sources, the volume examines how dress cultures developed – often to a degree of dazzling sophistication – between the years 800 to 1450. Beautifully illustrated with 100 images, A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on textiles, production and distribution, the body, belief, gender and sexuality, status, ethnicity, visual representations, and literary representations.

Download or read book Au Naturel written by Stephen L. Harp and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year in France approximately 1.5 million people practice naturisme or "naturism," an activity more commonly referred to as "nudism." Because of France's unique tolerance for public nudity, the country also hosts hundreds of thousands of nudists from other European nations, an influx that has contributed to the most extensive infrastructure for nude tourism in the world. In Au Naturel, historian Stephen L. Harp explores how the evolution of European tourism encouraged public nudity in France, connecting this cultural shift with important changes in both individual behaviors and collective understandings of the body, morality, and sexuality. Harp's study, the first in-depth historical analysis of nudism in France, challenges widespread assumptions that "sexual liberation" freed people from "repression," a process ostensibly reflected in the growing number of people practicing public nudity. Instead, he contends, naturism gained social acceptance because of the bodily control required to participate in it. New social codes emerged governing appropriate nudist behavior, including where one might look, how to avoid sexual excitation, what to wear when cold, and whether even the most modest displays of affection -- -including hand-holding and pecks on the cheek -- were permissible between couples. Beginning his study in 1927 -- when naturist doctors first advocated nudism in France as part of "air, water, and sun cures" -- Harp focuses on the country's three earliest and largest nudist centers: the Île du Levant in the Var, Montalivet in the Gironde, and the Cap d'Agde in Hérault. These places emerged as thriving tourist destinations, Harp shows, because the municipalities -- by paradoxically reinterpreting inde-cency as a way to foster European tourism to France -- worked to make public nudity more acceptable. Using the French naturist movement as a lens for examining the evolving notions of the body and sexuality in twentieth-century Europe, Harp reveals how local practices served as agents of national change.
