Ce recueil rassemble des essais, des analyses et des propositions visuelles qui montrent l'actualité et l'hétérogénéité des débats qui cristallisent aujourd'hui autour des pratiques contemporaines de l'archive. Il est manifeste que les pratiques d'archives dans l'art moderne relèvent d'une inquiétude face à l'enregistrement historicisant des objets artistiques, et de la volonté des artistes de s'affirmer " comme artistes " face à l'archivage de leurs oeuvres par les institutions académiques et muséographiques. Il s'agit pour eux d'anticiper sur l'archivage à venir de leurs travaux et de proposer d'autres manières d'écrire l'histoire non seulement de leurs oeuvres, mais plus généralement de l'art. Dans cette perspective, ces artistes interposent entre l'enregistrement matériel des choses et l'institution symbolique des oeuvres des dispositifs d'inscription qui excluent que l'un vaille pour l'autre, qu'enregistrement vaille institution. Ils restituent à ce qu'ils font le statut d'archives au sens historien du terme : d'archives non encore validées.

De nombreux chercheurs de disciplines différentes ont été conviés pour faire le point sur un groupe d'artistes à la fois peu connu et dont il fallait réviser la portée et l'inscription dans l'histoire et le champ de l'art contemporain. Des pratiques performatives à la danse, en passant par la photographie, la peinture, la littérature érotique ou plus encore les collectionneurs, les théories de l'information, la réception italienne, roumaine ou américaine, le cinéma, les hypertextes, le judaïsme, c'est toute une histoire culturelle et visuelle qui est revisitée. Cet ouvrage propose de raccrocher le lettrisme à une histoire des idées au XXe siècle dans le souci d'une pluridisciplinarité assumée et dans une dimension transnationale. Le lettrisme s'inscrit désormais non plus comme une parenthèse entre le surréalisme et l'Internationale Situationniste mais comme une trajectoire de création ayant façonnée bien des sensibilités artistiques contemporaines.

La guerre a sollicité les arts très tôt dans l'histoire de l'humanité, comme en témoigne l'art rupestre du Levant et du Sahara. Au cours de l'Antiquité, la guerre est notamment représentée sur les sculptures, les monnaies, les vases grecs, et, plus tard, la grande peinture d'histoire en Europe privilégie la représentation de faits guerriers. En Inde, la sculpture classique et la miniature monghole en ont multiplié les expressions, tandis que les brahmanes ont élaboré une théorie de la saveur esthétique de la fureur guerrière. L'architecture militaire a même donné lieu, avec Vauban, à des réflexions esthétiques. Aux XXe et XXIe siècles, les films, puis les séries télévisées et les jeux vidéo, ne cessent de mettre en scène la guerre. Quant à la musique, elle a été mobilisée elle aussi au service de la guerre, par exemple à la Renaissance en Italie, et en Chine qui a développé l'opéra martial. Enfin, la littérature a glorifié la guerre dans les épopées, les chansons de geste et de nombreux romans. Le présent volume met ainsi en lumière les biais par lesquels la guerre a inspiré et influencé tous les arts, et ce jusqu'à la gastronomie.

Within the violence our societies must confront today exists a dimension proper to language. Anyone who has been through the educational system, for example, recognizes how language not only shapes and models us, but also imposes itself upon us. During the twentieth century, this system revealed how language can condemn one to a certain death. In The Vocation of Writing, philosopher Marc Crépon explores this dimension of language, convinced that the node of all violence pertains first to language and how we make use of it. Crépon focuses on Kafka, Levinas, Singer, and Derrida, not only because each rose against commandeering language in order to warn against the next massacres, but also because their work affirms the vocation of writing—that which makes literature and philosophy the final weapon for unmasking the violence and hatred that language bears at its heart. To affirm the vocation of writing is to turn language against itself, to defuse its murderous potentialities by opening it toward exchange, responsibility, and humanity when the latter fixes the other and the world as its goals.

"When thinking about the Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel's haunting words resound like an echo of the sea and its millenary history. From Prehistory until today, the Mediterranean has been setting, witness and protagonist of mythical and supernatural adventures, of encounters with the Other, of legendary and historical battles, of the rise and fall of cultures and empires, of fortunate and tragic destinies of humans. Braudel's appeal for a long durée history of the Mediterranean challenged traditional views that often present it as a sea fragmented and divided through epochs and periods. This volume proposes a journey into the bright but also dark sides of the ancient Mediterranean through the kaleidoscopic gaze of artists who from the Renaissance to the 21st century have been inspired and fascinated by the sea, its myths and history. The view of those who imagined and recreated the past of the sea has largely contributed to the shaping of modern cultures which -- close to its shores or not -- are inexorably rooted and embedded in Mediterranean traditions. The contributions look at modern visual reinterpretations of ancient myths, fiction and history and pay particular attention to the theme of sea travel and travellers, which since Homer's Odyssey has become the epitome of the discovery of new worlds but also of cultural exchanges and a metaphor of personal developments and metamorphoses."--Bloomsbury Publishing When thinking about the Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel's haunting words resound like an echo of the sea and its millenary history.
