Abstract

Developing a political approach to culture that avoids both the pitfalls of neutralism and the perils of perfectionism is among the most urgent tasks facing contemporary liberal theory. Drawing on Rawls's political liberalism as well as recent work by capability theorists and major critics of liberalism,The Skillful Self makes the case for a liberal politics of skill in which the skillful self forms the focus of a nonperfectionist approach to culture and cultural policy.

Abstract

Abstract

Cet ouvrage aborde la question de la fragmentation numérique, c’est-à-dire, du caractère multiforme des disparités voire des différences et le caractère mosaïque des Technologies de l’information et de la communication. Il souligne la diversité des cultures numériques sans les insérer dans un modèle hiérarchique et analyse la manière dont les dispositifs numériques sont déployés, utilisés, appropriés, réinventés. Cette diversité révèle l’importance des acteurs avec leur niveau de culture, mais aussi leurs modes de pensée, leurs croyances, leurs symboles et leurs valeurs. Il ressort nettement des diverses analyses que le développement de l´économie numérique, des produits et des services qui lui sont propres ne correspond pas à l´émergence d´une « intelligence collective » dont tous les usagers pourraient bénéficier de façon équitable. Alors, fracture, mutation, fragmentation ou cloisonnement numérique ? L’essentiel semble résider dans la prise en compte des diversités pour un rayonnement encore plus majestueux de l’arc-en-ciel numérique.

Abstract

In this book the editors brought together outstanding articles concerning intercultural aesthetics. The concept ‘Intercultural aesthetics’ creates a home space for an artistic cross-fertilization between cultures, and for heterogeneity, but it is also firmly linked with the intercultural turn within Western and non-Western philosophy. The book is divided into two parts, yet one can sense a clear unity throughout the whole book. This unity is related to the underlying subject that the different authors, each in their own way and from their own background, try to reveal. They use related, and overlapping terms such as ‘the suchness of things’, ‘dancing and shaping lives’, ‘presenting a meaning beyond words, presenting the unpresentable, experiencing’, in order to bring to our awareness the genuine importance of the non-conceptual, next to the conceptual. Several authors moreover take on a reflective, and at times even a self-reflective stance, pointing to the intrinsic relation between cultural aesthetics and ethics, making this book unique in its kind.
