How do people make sense of works of art? And how do they write to make others see the same way? There are many guides to looking at art, histories of art history and art criticism, and accounts of various 'theories' and 'methods', but this book offers something very unlike the normal search for difference and division: it examines the general and largely unspoken norms shared by interpreters of many kinds. Ranging widely, though taking writing within the Western tradition of art history as its primary focus, Interpreting Art highlights the norms, premises, and patterns that tend to guide interpretation along the way. Why, for example, is the concept of artistic 'intention' at once so reviled and yet so hard to let go of? What does it really involve when an interpretation appeals to an artwork's 'reception'? How can 'context' be used by some to keep things under control and by others to make the interpretation of art seem limitless? And how is it that artworks only seem to grow in complexity over time? Interpreting Art reveals subtle features of art writing central to the often unnoticed interpretative practices through which we understand works of art. In doing so, the book also sheds light on possible alternatives, pointing to how writers on art might choose to operate differently in the future.

Qu'est-ce que les films d'Asghar Farhadi racontent de la société iranienne ? Quelle image de l'Iran s'est construite à travers le cinéma d'Abbas Kiarostami?? Quelles sont les caractéristiques des films iraniens projetés en France?? En partant de l'hypothèse forte que la présence des cinémas extra-occidentaux en Europe répond plus aux attentes et aux modalités des lieux de diffusion qu'à la réalité des pays producteurs, ce livre retrace l'histoire du cinéma iranien en France, de 1950 à aujourd'hui, en interrogeant les représentations du "national" iranien construites dans l'espace français.

"Style: An Approach to Appreciating Theatre offers brief, readable chapters about the basics of theatre as a starting point for discussion, and provides new adaptations of classic plays that are both accessible to students learning about theatre and fit for production. In this text, style is the word used to describe the various ways in which theatre is done in real space and time by humans in the physical presence of other humans. The book uses style, the "liveness" of theatre that makes it distinct from literature or history, as a lens to see how playwrights, directors, designers, and actors bring scripts to life on stage. Rather than focusing on theatre history or literary script analysis, it emphasizes actual theatrical production through examples and explores playscripts illustrating four theatrical styles: Realism, Theatricalism, Expressionism, and Classicism. Susan Glaspell's Realistic play Trifles is presented as written, while The Insect Play by the Brothers Čapek, The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill, and Antigone by Sophocles are original, full-length adaptions. Style: An Approach to Appreciating Theatre is the perfect resource for students of Theatre Appreciation, Introduction to Theatre, Theatrical Design, and Stagecraft courses"--

The writings of Cicero contain hundreds of quotations of Latin poetry. This book examines his citations of Latin poets writing in diverse poetic genres and demonstrates the importance of poetry as an ethical, historical, and linguistic resource in the late Roman Republic. Hannah Čulík-Baird studies Cicero's use of poetry in his letters, speeches, and philosophical works, contextualizing his practice within the broader intellectual trends of contemporary Rome. Cicero's quotations of the 'classic' Latin poets, such as Ennius, Pacuvius, Accius, and Lucilius, are responsible for preserving the most significant fragments of verse from the second century BCE. The book also therefore examines the process of fragmentation in classical antiquity, with particular attention to the relationship between quotation and fragmentation. The Appendices collect perceptible instances of poetic citation (Greek as well as Latin) in the Ciceronian corpus.

Comme aimait à le dire l'un de ses maîtres, Borges, plus qu'un auteur Giorgio Manganelli est à lui seul toute une littérature : polymorphe et perverse, et toujours surprenante. Un grand nombre de ses livres, qui échappent à toute tentative de classification, a été traduit en français et beaucoup continuent à être publiés après sa mort, regroupant l'abondante production journalistique d'un auteur qui se professait non sans provocation « écrivain de café-concert ». Mais en plus de cet éloquent succès posthume, il nous reste sa passion dévastatrice pour les arts visuels. Manganelli est un outsider, mais pas un amateur : il démontre dans ces articles, recueillis ici pour la toute première fois, une compétence de spécialiste, en particulier à propos du répertoire italien des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Il s'agit d'un territoire immense, aussi bien chronologiquement (des pierres de la région de Luni, 3000 ans avant Jésus-Christ, aux compagnons de route que furent Gastone Novelli ou Carol Rama) qu'à l'aune d'une curiosité minutieuse allant de stars comme Raphaël ou Van Gogh et des tours de passe-passe fastueux et ensorceleurs des maniéristes jusqu'aux affiches victoriennes et aux ornements caducs du cimetière de Campo Verano. Chacun de ces textes révèle le punctum d'une obsession : trouver le chemin, fût-il de traverse, capable de nous conduire, qui sait, au plus près de ce lieu vaste et ténébreux que constitue le corpus de Manganelli.

"The theory of musical structure is a rapidly developing field of musicology that has wide practical implications. Due to the complex nature of music, statistics is likely to play an important role. In the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in modeling musical performance. This development is in particular due to the dramatic advances in computer technology and the availability of digitized score and performance data, especially in Western Classical music where a clearly defined score exists. This book includes a similar but more challenging study in Indian Classical music where the scores are not fixed. In order to analyze performances in this genre, the book first develops musical scores based on studio recordings in this genre, which are performed extemporaneously. Then, the book computationally analyzes the structure and performance of the music. Structurally, it considers fundamental aspects such as aroh (ascent), awaroh (descent), and pakad (catch). In terms of performance, features like note duration and pitch movements between notes are considered. Statistics and probability are used to analyze the music"--

This volume explores various perceptions, adaptations, and appropriations of Horace in the Early Modern age across textual, visual and musical media. It thus intends to advocate an interdisciplinary and multi-medial approach to the exceptionally rich and variegated afterlife of Horace. This volume explores various perceptions, adaptations and appropriations of both the personality and the writings of Horace in the Early Modern age. The fifteen essays of this book are devoted to uncharted facets of the reception of Horace and thus substantially broaden our picture of the Horatian tradition. Special attention is given to the legacy of Horace in the visual arts and in music, beyond the domain of letters. By focusing on the multiple channels, through which the influence of Horace was felt and transported, this volume aims to present instances of the Horatian heritage across the media and to stimulate a more thorough reflection on an interdisciplinary and multi-medial approach to the exceptionally rich and variegated afterlife of Horace. Contributors include: Veronica Brandis, Philippe Canguilhem, Giacomo Comiati, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Carolin A. Giere, Inga Mai Groote, Luke B.T. Houghton, Chris Joby, Marc Laureys, Grantley McDonald, Lukas Reddemann, Bernd Roling, Robert Seidel, Marcela Slavíková, Paul J. Smith, and Tijana Žakula.

With the main goal of contributing to a wider understanding of the presence of Spanish literature and culture in British Romanticism, this book focuses on the instrumental role played by the British periodical press in the Anglo-Spanish literary and cultural exchange in the first half of the nineteenth century. All the chapters bear witness to the contrasting and varied perception of everything Spanish, the different strategies of exploration, appropriation and rewriting of its cultural and literary tradition. Besides, they all reveal the intricate web of cultural, political and religious factors tinging the discourse of British Romantic literary critics and authors on the Spanish cultural capital.
