Philosophy, art criticism and popular opinion all seem to treat the aesthetics of the comic as lightweight, while the tragic seems to be regarded with greater seriousness. Why this favouring of sadness over joy? Can it be justified? What are the criteria by which the significance of comedy can be estimated vis à vis tragedy? Questions such as these underlie the present selection of studies, which casts new light on the comic, the joyful and laughter itself. This challenge to the popular attitude strikes into new territory, relating such matters to the profundity with which we enjoy life and its role in the deployment of the Human Condition. In her Introduction Tymieniecka points out that the tragic and the comic might be complementary in their respective sense-bestowing modes as well as in their dynamic functions; they might both share in the primogenital function of promoting the self-individualising progress of human existence. For the first time in philosophy, laughter, mirth, joy and the like are revealed as the modalities of the essential enjoyment of life, being brought to bear in an illumination of the human condition.

La déroute des théories dogmatiques de l'art dictant une hiérarchie a priori des appréciations est avérée: elle laisse le champ libre à une esthétique ouverte à toutes les époques et à tous les mondes de l'art - traditionnel, moderne ou contemporain, art d'élite ou art de masse. Or, arguant de la relativité et des plaisirs, une esthétique libérale entend prendre simplement acte du différend des jugements, tous par nature individuels et subjectifs. Rarement pourtant, s'est fait le besoin de juger, de critiquer, de sélectionner. Comment y répondre, dès lors que l'esthétique, distincte de la critique engagée dans l'interprétation et l'évaluation d'oeuvres particulières, n'est plus en mesure de proposer un jugement d'autorité? L'esthétique est nécessaire à l'intelligence de nos divergences, elle aide à fonder notre compréhension et nos jugements, elle saisit la logique de la critique que nous pratiquons tous de façon plus ou moins experte. Loin de se résigner aux descriptions empiriques et aux classifications, elle peut reconstruire la rationalité des argumentations et la nature perfomative que les individus engagent avec les oeuvres d'art. Inventée au XVIIIe siècle pour répondre à l'anomie du jugement de goût, consécutive à l'irruption des formes modernes et à la découverte des arts non européens, l'esthétique doit être aujourd'hui réinventée. L'auteur nous y invite. Il montre notamment la complémentarité entre esthétique et critique et l'illustre par l'analyse des oeuvres de Richter et Wall, de Don DeLillo et Jean Echenoz.

Bridging the gap between cultural studies, performing arts, and anthropology, performance studies explores myriad ways in which performance creates meaning and shapes our everyday lives. The broadest and most inclusive volume to date, The Ends of Performance both celebrates and critiques the institutionalization of the field. Only recently has the field given keen attention to the interpretive force and consequences of performance events, and it is these consequences that The Ends of Performance articulates. Here performance studies illuminates the complex social and cultural formations of our time - the impact of virtual technology, the racialized discourses of legal and cultural citizenship, the impact of new medical discourses, and the medicalization of the body. Featuring work by leading theorists, excursions into performative writing and texts by performance artists, The Ends of Performance illuminates the provocative intellectual ends which motivate these varied approaches to performing writing, and to writing performance.

Art therapy and all of the other creative arts therapies have promoted themselves as ways of expressing what cannot be conveyed in conventional language. Why is it that creative arts therapists fail to apply this line of thinking to research ? In this exciting and innovative book, Shaun McNiff, one of the field's pioneering educators and authors, breaks new ground in defining and inspiring art-based research. He illustrates how practitioner-researchers can become involved in art-based inquiries during their educational studies and throughout their careers, and shows how new types of research can be created that resonate with the artistic process. Clearly and cogently expressed, the theoretical arguments are illustrated by numerous case examples, and the final part of the book provides a wealth of ideas and thought provoking questions for research. This challenging book will prove invaluable to creative art therapy educators, students, and clinicians who wish to approach artistic inquiry as a way of conducting research. It will also find a receptive audience within the larger research community where there is a rising commitment to expanding the theory and practice of research. Integrating artistic and scientific procedures in many novel ways, this book offers fresh and productive visions of what research can be.
