Abstract

Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) est considérée comme l'une des plus grandes artistes allemandes de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Ses œuvres uniques et saisissantes ont pour thèmes la guerre, la pauvreté et la mort, mais aussi la tendresse, l’amour et l’engagement pacifiste. Déjà de son vivant, ses dessins, estampes et sculptures lui ont valu une reconnaissance internationale. Son travail reflète les convulsions de l’Histoire, de l’Empire allemand à la Grande Guerre, de la République de Weimar au national-socialisme et à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Käthe Kollwitz a su développer une écriture et un style éminemment personnels. D’une modernité intemporelle et d’une portée universelle, son langage pénétrant nous bouleverse encore aujourd’hui. Cette monographie présente un panorama de ses travaux, en lien avec des citations de son journal intime, des commentaires de ses contemhuporains et des hommages plus actuels. Avec plus de 200 reproductions réparties en chapitres thématiques, et une introduction retraçant le parcours de l’artiste, le catalogue présenté propose les œuvres les plus significatives de Käthe Kollwitz, ainsi qu’un choix de dessins et de rares épreuves d’état issus de la collection Kollwitz de Cologne, la plus importante au monde.

Abstract

Jan Patočka (1907-1977) compte parmi les philosophes qui, comme Merleau-Ponty ou Dufrenne, ont exploré de nouvelles voies en phénoménologie. En particulier, son œuvre ouvre la voie à une philosophie de la naissance, même si elle ne s’organise pas autour d’elle. « La naissance de quoi que ce soit, écrit Renaud Barbaras dans sa préface, désignant l’événement et le moment de son avènement ne peut coïncider avec la présence de ce qui naît, sans quoi il serait toujours déjà et ne naîtrait donc pas. » C’est l’articulation entre l’appartenance au monde et la différence subjective qu’explore et construit Frédéric Jacquet dans cet essai nourri et ample, confrontant la démarche de Patocka à celle de Merleau-Ponty, Maldiney et Ricœur. Le sujet appartient de part en part au monde tout en s’en distinguant : c’est dans ce cadre qu’il faut lire les notations de Patočka sur la naissance, celle-ci étant l’identité réalisée d’une appartenance, sous l’espèce de la filiation biologique et ontologique, et d’une rupture, synonyme de la venue d’une liberté au monde qui est aussi une liberté pour le monde. Cette philosophie de la naissance, appelée par la phénoménologie, contribue à ce que l’auteur appelle une « anthropophénoménologie », où la question de la mort se trouve investie d’une manière inédite.

Abstract

"Callimachus (ca. 303-ca. 235 BC), a proud and well-born native of Cyrene in Libya, came as a young man to the court of the Ptolemies at Alexandria, where he composed poetry for the royal family; helped establish the Library and Museum as a world center of literature, science, and scholarship; and wrote an estimated 800 volumes of poetry and prose on an astounding variety of subjects, including the Pinakes, a descriptive bibliography of the Library's holdings in 120 volumes. Callimachus' vast learning richly informs his poetry, which ranges broadly and reworks the language and generic properties of his predecessors in inventive, refined, and expressive ways. The 'Callimachean' style, combining learning, elegance, and innovation and prizing brevity, clarity, lightness, and charm, served as an important model for later poets, not least at Rome for Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and the elegists, among others. This edition, which replaces the earlier Loeb editions by A. W. Mair (1921) and C. A. Trypanis (1954, 1958), presents all that currently survives of and about Callimachus and his works, including the ancient commentaries (Diegeseis) and scholia. Volume I contains Aetia, Iambi, and lyric poems; Volume II, Hecale, Hymns, and Epigrams; and Volume III, miscellaneous epics and elegies, other fragments, and testimonia, together with concordances and a general index. The Greek text is based mainly on Pfeifer's but enriched by subsequently published papyri and the judgment of later editors, and its notes and annotation are fully informed by current scholarship." -- Provided by publisher

Abstract

This text examines the immense changes that have occurred in Indian politics over the past decade and its impact on the Indian National Congress. The impact is most apparent in the changing fortunes of the Congress party, which suffered two major defeats in 2014 and 2019 elections, bringing the party's crisis to the front and centre of public debate. This book seeks to understand the reasons for these enormous changes by looking first at the underlying conditions that led to the decline of the Congress and, second, the challenges' both external and internal' confronting the Congress and, while doing so, estimating its impact on Indian politics and on the Congress.

Abstract

Given the popularity and success of the Hindu-Right in India's electoral politics today, how may one study ostensibly 'Western' concepts and ideas, such as the secular and its family of cognates, like secularism, secularisation and secularity in non-Western societies without assuming them simply as derivative, or colonial legacies or contrast cases of Western societies? While recognizing that the dominant language of political modernity of Western societies is not easily translatable in non-Western societies, The Secular Imaginary elaborates upon an intellectual history of secularity in modern India by focusing on the two most influential political leaders - M.K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. It is an intellectual history of both idea(s) and intellectuals, which sheds light on Indian narratives of secularity - the Gandhian sarva dharma samabhava, Nehruvian secularism, and unity in diversity. It revisits this dominant narrative of secularity of the twentieth century that influenced and shaped the imagination of the modern nation-state.
