This book was released on 2014-02-26T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’art ce ne sont pas que des œuvres ; ce sont aussi des concepts pour les catégoriser, des catégories mentales pour les appréhender, des valeurs pour les juger. Aussi, l’« histoire de l’art » qu’on trouvera ici n’est pas une histoire des styles, mais l’histoire de cet ensemble indivis fait des œuvres et des discours qui les accompagnent, et, plus globalement, de la vision du monde dans laquelle ceux-ci s’insèrent. Consacré à l’Antiquité grecque, cet ouvrage met au jour tout ce qui sépare notre manière contemporaine de penser l’art de celle des anciens, mais aussi tout ce qui les relie. En ressort un écart considérable entre une vision moderne qui conçoit l’art comme une activité autonome, dotée d’une valeur intrinsèque et constituant une fin en soi, et la conception antique d’un art fonctionnel, largement lié à la religion et soumis aux exigences de la cité. Il montre aussi comment cette très riche période contient des germes de critique et d’histoire de l’art, des réflexions philosophiques sur des sujets qui continuent à nous concerner (la nature du beau, le pouvoir des images, la censure, etc.) et nous a légué des concepts clés de l’esthétique (mimésis, catharsis, contemplation, etc.).1er volume d’une série de 4.

Download or read book Paideia written by Werner Jaeger and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce volume retrace l'histoire de la Paideia depuis l'époque homérique jusqu'à la défaite d'Athènes, à la fin du Ve siècle. La voix de la Grèce archaïque est celle que nous fait entendre Homère, celle de toute une société en quête de l'exploit qui confère la noblesse. La première partie de la civilisation hellenique est dominée par la grande figure d'Achille. Avec l'apparition des cités, le désir de l'ordre et celui de l'égalité deviennent une passion et une raison de vivre. Les débats soulevés à cette occasion ont trouvé leur écho dans les poèmes de Solon et de Tyrtée. De même les penseurs ioniens essaient d'expliquer le cosmos comme un Tout régi par une loi unique. Cette recherche des normes universelles sera désormais l'une des marques distinctives du génie grec. Puis, à partir de la seconde moitié du Ve siècle, Athènes va occuper seule le devant de la scène. Les grands tragiques, les sophistes, la réflexion sur l'histoire, tout cela fait d'elle «l'école de la Grèce» - pour la première fois, un véritable idéal culturel est proposé au monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rompant avec les ouvrages d’érudition qui se multipliaient à son époque, Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768) a adopté dans son Histoire de l’art dans l’Antiquité une démarche entièrement nouvelle qui n’a cessé depuis sa parution, en 1764, de susciter admirations et controverses. En effet, dans cet « essai de système doctrinal » dont l’objectif est de définir « l’essence de l’art », l’auteur fait appel à son immense savoir et embrasse dans son étude les oeuvres égyptiennes, phéniciennes, grecques, romaines, étrusques, analysant le style de chacune d’entre elles dans son contexte historique et culturel, établissant des comparaisons et des hiérarchies. Si, dans cette vaste synthèse, Winckelmann s’attarde plus longuement sur le peuple grec, c’est qu’il le considère comme ayant atteint la perfection artistique : « une noble simplicité et une grandeur tranquille, tant dans l’attitude que dans l’expression, voilà en définitive le trait général qui distingue par excellence les chefs-d’oeuvre grecs. » Farouchement hostile au baroque de son époque, l’auteur érige dès lors un idéal du Beau et invite les artistes de son temps à tendre vers cette perfection : un appel auxquels beaucoup seront sensibles, comme en témoigne la naissance du courant néoclassique. Subjectifs, arbitraires, les jugements de Winckelmann ont certes été critiqués, mais il reste que l’ouvrage, par son ambition, marque avec éclat la naissance d’une nouvelle discipline : l’histoire de l’art.

Download or read book Five Faces of Modernity written by Matei Călinescu and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Faces of Modernity is a series of semantic and cultural biographies of words that have taken on special significance in the last century and a half or so: modernity, avant-garde, decadence, kitsch, and postmodernism. The concept of modernity--the notion that we, the living, are different and somehow superior to our predecessors and that our civilization is likely to be succeeded by one even superior to ours--is a relatively recent Western invention and one whose time may already have passed, if we believe its postmodern challengers. Calinescu documents the rise of cultural modernity and, in tracing the shifting senses of the five terms under scrutiny, illustrates the intricate value judgments, conflicting orientations, and intellectual paradoxes to which it has given rise. Five Faces of Modernity attempts to do for the foundations of the modernist critical lexicon what earlier terminological studies have done for such complex categories as classicism, baroque, romanticism, realism, or symbolism and thereby fill a gap in literary scholarship. On another, more ambitious level, Calinescu deals at length with the larger issues, dilemmas, ideological tensions, and perplexities brought about by the assertion of modernity.

Download or read book Individuals and Materials in the Greco Roman Cults of Isis SET written by Valentino Gasparini and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 1191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Individuals and Materials in the Greco-Roman Cults of Isis Valentino Gasparini and Richard Veymiers present a collection of reflections on the individuals and groups which animated one of Antiquity’s most dynamic, significant and popular religious phenomena: the reception of the cults of Isis and other Egyptian gods throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. These communities, whose members seem to share the same religious identity, for a long time have been studied in a monolithic way through the prism of the Cumontian category of the “Oriental religions”. The 26 contributions of this book, divided into three sections devoted to the “agents”, their “images” and their “practices”, shed new light on this religious movement that appears much more heterogeneous and colorful than previously recognized.

Download or read book Bibliographia Cartesiana written by Gregor Sebba and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1964-07-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new type of working tool for Cartesian studies. It presents the literature of the last 160 years in alphabetical order (Part Two), combined with a systematic analytical survey (Part One) and a detailed topical index to the whole (Part Three). This organization makes it possible to turn bibliogra phy from a repository of references into a workshop of research. The system atic survey of Part One and the topical index of Part Three, together, offer a mise au point of Descartes studies over their full historical and topical range. The results have often been surprising and illuminating to the author, and if his experience is any guide, the reader, too, will begin to wonder about certain seemingly well-settled points, or marvel at the Protean shapes which our elusive philosopher assumes when mighty commentators force him to reveal his true nature. A work which has been in the making for fifteen years must show the traces of expansion in scope, and changes in evaluation. Bibliographia cartesiana amends my Descartes chapter in A Critical Bibliography of French Literature, v. 3, 1961 (see no. I9a), and supersedes an earlier version of Parts One and Two, published in 1959 under the main title Descartes and his Philosophy, v. 1 (set: no. I8a). Part I (Introduction to Descartes Studies) divides the field into eleven broad areas.
