La séduction et le charme des contes ont partie liée avec leur capacité à se métamorphoser au cours du temps en adoptant tout type de scénographies, de genres et de supports tout en réinvestissant de nouvelles significations et en variant ou mêlant les destinataires. C'est ce pouvoir métamorphique fort que le présent volume interroge à partir d'un personnage qui incarne mieux que tout autre ces virtualités latentes : la Belle endormie aux rêves insondables. L'approche retenue est motivée par la nature du dialogue qui se noue entre deux productions littéraires elles-mêmes riches de résonances intertextuelles, distantes de deux siècles et ancrées dans deux pays et cultures différents : "La Belle au bois dormant" de Charles Perrault et "Dornröschen" des frères Grimm. Ce rapport problématique sert de point d'ancrage aux diverses réécritures auxquelles ces deux contes, tour à tour isolés ou croisés, donnent lieu dans les domaines du texte et de l'image jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine.

In the mid-eighteenth century, English gentlemen filled their houses with copies and casts of classical statuary while the following generation preferred authentic antique originals. By charting this changing preference within a broader study of material culture, Joan Coutu examines the evolving articulation of the English gentleman. Then and Now consists of four case studies of mid-century collections. Three were amassed by young aristocrats - the Marquis of Rockingham, the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Huntingdon - who, consistent with their social standing, were touted as natural political leaders. Their collections evoke the concept of gentlemanly virtue through example, offering archetypes to encourage men toward acts of public virtue. As the aristocrats matured in the politically fractious realm of the 1760s, such virtue could become politicized. A fourth study focuses on Thomas Hollis, who used his collection to proselytize his own unique political ideology. Framed by studies of collecting practices earlier and later in the century, Coutu also explores the fluid temporal relationship with the classical past as the century progressed, firmly situating the discussion within the contemporaneous emerging field of aesthetics. Broadening the focus beyond published texts to include aesthetic conversations among the artists and the aristocracy in Italy and England, Then and Now shows how an aesthetic canon emerged - embodied in the Apollo Belvedere, the Venus de’ Medici, and the like - which shaped the Grand Manner of art.

"Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform presents an original and carefully argued case for the importance of classical ideas, education and self-education in the personal development and activities of British social reformers in the 19th and first six decades of the 20th century. Usually drawn from the lower echelons of the middle class and the most aspirational artisanal and working-class circles, the prominent reformers, revolutionaries, feminists and educationalists of this era, far from regarding education in Latin and Greek as the preserve of the upper classes and inherently reactionary, were consistently inspired by the Mediterranean Classics and contested the monopoly on access to them often claimed by the wealthy and aristocratic elite. The essays, several of which draw on previously neglected and unpublished sources, cover literary figures (Coleridge, the 'Cockney Classicist' poets including Keats, and Dickens), different cultural media (burlesque theatre, body-building, banner art, poetry, journalism and fiction), topics in social reform (the desirability of revolution, suffrage, poverty, social exclusion, women's rights, healthcare, eugenics, town planning, race relations and workers' education), as well as political affiliations and agencies (Chartists, Trade Unions, the WEA, political parties including the Fabians, the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Labour Party). The sixteen essays in this volume restore to the history of British Classics some of the subject's ideological complexity and instrumentality in social progress, a past which is badly needed in the current debates over the future of the discipline. Contributors include specialists in English Literature, History, Classics and Art."--Bloomsbury Publishing Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform presents an original and carefully argued case for the importance of classical ideas, education and self-education in the personal development and activities of British social reformers in the 19th and first six decades of the 20th century.

Ce livre a fait date. Arnold Berleant y pose, de manière limpide, les bases d’une esthétique environnementale, écologique et relationnelle. Sa conception se fonde sur la notion d’engagement esthétique qui retourne la conception traditionnelle et kantienne selon laquelle l’attitude esthétique est celle de la contemplation désintéressée. Le sujet percevant n’est plus un spectateur à distance. Il est un participant, un contributeur actif engagé au cœur d’un champ esthétique continu qu’il occupe et qu’il fabrique. Analysant de nombreux exemples notamment puisés dans les pratiques artistiques expérimentales du xxe siècle, Berleant donne ainsi un rôle accru au corps, à l’espace et à la culture. Diverses modalités de l’engagement et de la participation esthétiques sont ici envisagées pour décrire les expériences spécifiques du paysage, de l’architecture, de la littérature, de la musique, de la danse et du cinéma.

Cet ouvrage s’intéresse à la culture visuelle de l’époque hellénistique et romaine et à la réception des collections artistiques auprès des lettrés de ces deux périodes. À partir d’un éventail de documents qui vont du IIIe siècle avant J.-C. à l’Antiquité tardive, il cherche à montrer comment les œuvres d’art pouvaient constituer, pour les Anciens, les supports d’un discours, que celui-ci soit d’ordre esthétique, idéologique ou même érotique. Les descriptions d’œuvres d’art dues aux érudits du début de l’époque hellénistique appellent un décryptage attentif ; en effet, les poètes utilisent le discours sur les œuvres d’art pour exposer leurs positions esthétiques ou pour répondre aux œuvres de leurs prédécesseurs. Il s’agit aussi de penser les relations complexes qui se noueront ensuite entre le discours érotique et le discours esthétique : chez certains auteurs, le corps de l’être aimé sera contemplé à la manière d’une œuvre d’art et l’introspection de l’amoureux s’appuiera sur des allusions à des schémas iconographiques courants, de manière à formuler un discours sur le sentiment amoureux. Ce livre, qui tente d’esquisser une histoire du regard ancien, s’attache tout particulièrement aux textes et ensembles de textes qui décrivent non pas une, mais plusieurs œuvres d’art. Il s’intéresse ainsi au discours suggéré par la juxtaposition signifiante d’une série d’images.
