Book excerpt: The beloved and bestselling “anthropologist of everyday life” turns her witty and insightful gaze to the oddities of living in our modern world Over the course of her time as a contributor and editor for Saturday Night magazine—a span during which she published her award-winning book The Rituals of Dinner—Margaret Visser specialized in thought-provoking columns capable of turning the banal into the extraordinary. From high heels to showers to the metamorphosis of Santa Claus, these essays span an eclectic and engrossing range of topics perfect for Visser fans and newcomers alike. With academic rigor and a warm narrative style, she takes commonplace facets of everyday life—crossword puzzles, fireplaces, paid time off—and digs into their peculiar origins and surprising social legacies. In examining some of the most ordinary elements of life, Visser sorts through historical facts and cultural implications to reveal the hidden assumptions behind our modern behavior.

Book excerpt: A l'époque moderne, l'homme évolue au milieu d'une multitude de cœurs figurés, du berceau à la tombe, en contexte profane comme sacré. Cette thèse se propose de rendre compte de ce phénomène iconographique majeur de l'histoire occidentale en étudiant les images et la symbolique du cœur, aussi complètement possible, dans un territoire donné, la Franche-Comté. Le premier livre, « Cœur et salut », aborde la question de l'évolution du savoir médical sur l'anatomie et les fonctions du cœur, avant de développer la riche histoire religieuse du cœur et de ses images, dans un contexte marqué par l'esprit de la Contre-Réforme et la promotion de la dévotion au Sacré-Cœur. Le second livre, « Le cœur au foyer » est consacré aux représentations et à la symbolique du cœur dans les relations matrimoniales et familiales, les rapports amoureux, dans l'univers domestique, les objets de la vie quotidienne et le bâti des maisons, notamment les portes et les cheminées. La réflexion aborde notamment la question de la puissance apotropaïque des images du cœur. Le troisième livre, « Le cœur en société », examine l'utilisation du cœur comme marque publique d'identité, personnelle ou collective, en rapport avec l'anthroponymie, les seings et les signatures, l'héraldique, mais aussi dans le cadre de l'emblématique professionnelle, en incluant les marques de fabrique et de marchand. Dans le registre politique, le cœur est abordé comme signe de faction, de ralliement, de loyauté ou d'attachement au prince

Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.

Published to accompany an exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Parallel Practices explores the trajectory of these artists' practices to reveal shared and complementary aspects, as well as to highlight the significant divergences and differences that characterize each artist's work.
