Ce volume, issu d’un colloque international qui s’est tenu à Reims, les 3 et 4 décembre 2009, a été conçu non comme une simple juxtaposition de communications, mais comme un véritable ouvrage qui puisse satisfaire les besoins des spécialistes du sommeil, de la médecine et de la philosophie, des littéraires, des historiens, en particulier des historiens de l’art, et plus largement d’un public cultivé. Les interventions ont été complétées par plusieurs articles et par des synthèses introductives et réparties selon un ordre à la fois chronologique et thématique. Une première section est consacrée aux philosophes antiques, des Présocratiques à Macrobe ; une seconde aux médecins, d’Hippocrate aux médecins de la Renaissance, et la troisième section réunit des articles portant sur des philosophes humanistes. Si elles répondent à un véritable desideratum de la recherche scientifique, les questions abordées dans ce livre concernent tout un chacun et nous espérons que les insomniaques y trouveront des recettes inédites.

"Questo studio propone l'analisi, dalla sua genesi antica fino alle epoche moderne, delle effigi ed i contesti del dio Hypnos/Somnus che incarna il tema del sonno materializzandosi in momenti significativi della cultura e della storia dell?arte. Nata come vaga immagine della letteratura nelle prime rappresentazioni greche, l?iconografia di Hypnos trova la sua forma compiuta nel Somnus latino, soprattutto per mezzo di sculture originali di prima epoca imperiale. Lo studio dei contesti letterari e filosofici evidenzia l'identità demonica del dio che diventa un custode dell'umanità. Le rappresentazioni di Hypnos si ritrovano, dunque, in alcuni larari domestici, in giardini di grandi ville e in luoghi consacrati alla pratica dell'otium. Raffigurato come un erote dormiente, con specifici attributi, invece, Somnus associa il suo ruolo di demone protettore anche alle rappresentazioni simboliche dell'anima. Persistenze iconografiche del dio sopravvivono nel medioevo attraverso la letteratura ed in alcuni specifici contesti artistici ma sarà sotto la forma di genietto addormentato che l'effige del Sonno tornerà ad avere fortuna nel Rinascimento, in contesti intrisi di cultura antica : in seno all'Accademia ficiniana, alla corte medicea e nella Grotta di Isabella d?Este. L?immagine dell?erote dormiente, riproposta anche da Michelangelo, divenne importante non solo in funzione del confronto con l?antico ma soprattutto per il suo valore simbolico e culturale. E' attraverso questa interpretazione significativa che si può analizzare l?allestimento tematico delle sculture di putti addormentati in serie, antichi e moderni, nelle collezioni di tutta l?epoca moderna. Il dio del Sonno, sotto forme differenti, trova una collocazione precisa anche nei contesti pittorici di grandi palazzi signorili e contribuisce a dar vita ad un nuovo modello formale per le rappresentazioni di Mercurio" [Source : 4e de couv.]

Garrett Sullivan explores the changing impact of Aristotelian conceptions of vitality and humanness on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature before and after the rise of Descartes. Aristotle's tripartite soul is usually considered in relation to concepts of psychology and physiology. However, Sullivan argues that its significance is much greater, constituting a theory of vitality that simultaneously distinguishes man from, and connects him to, other forms of life. He contends that, in works such as Sidney's Old Arcadia, Shakespeare's Henry IV and Henry V, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Milton's Paradise Lost and Dryden's All for Love, the genres of epic and romance, whose operations are informed by Aristotle's theory, provide the raw materials for exploring different models of humanness; and that sleep is the vehicle for such exploration as it blurs distinctions among man, plant and animal.
