Marc Redfield maintains that the literary genre of the Bildungsroman brings into sharp focus the contradictions of aesthetics, and also that aesthetics exemplifies what is called ideology. He combines a wide-ranging account of the history and theory of aesthetics with close readings of novels by Goethe, George Eliot, and Gustave Flaubert. For Redfield, these fictions of character formation demonstrate the paradoxical relation between aesthetics and literature: the notion of the Bildungsroman may be expanded to apply to any text that can be figured as a subject producing itself in history, which is to say any text whatsoever. At the same time, the category may be contracted to include only a handful of novels, (or even none at all), a paradox that has led critics to denigrate the Bildungsroman as a phantom genre.

De nos jours, artistes et créateurs de toutes orientations, et dans différents champs de production culturelle, ont de plus en plus recours à des procédés impliquant le traitement de matériaux qui sont déjà disponibles dans l'espace culturel : ils créent en recyclant. Grâce aux nouvelles technologies de reproduction des œuvres et de traitement de données, cette modalité de production s'affirme comme une dominante de la culture contemporaine. Comment en rendre compte esthétiquement? Quel est son impact sur notre expérience esthétique? En quoi nous oblige-t-elle à repenser concepts et compréhension dans le domaine de l’esthétique. Dans ce livre, un groupe international de dix-huit chercheurs se penche sur cette interface entre esthétique et recyclage culturel et propose des éléments de réponse à ces questions. Ce livre est issu d’un colloque international qui eut lieu en 2001 à Montréal.

In this challenging essay, Maarten Doorman argues that in art, belief in progress is still relevant, if not essential. The radical freedoms of postmodernism, he claims, have had a crippling effect on art, leaving it in danger of becoming meaningless. Art can only acquire meaning through context; the concept of progress, then, is ideal as the primary criterion for establishing that context. The history of art, in fact, can be seen as a process of constant accumulation, works of art commenting on one another and enriching one another's meanings. It is these complex interrelationships and the progress they create in both art and its observers that Doorman, in a display of great philosophical erudition, defends.

This book investigates the nature of aesthetic experience and aesthetic objects. Written by leading philosophers, psychologists, literary scholars and semioticians, the book addresses two intertwined issues. The first is related to the phenomenology of aesthetic experience: The understanding of how human beings respond to artworks, how we process linguistic or visual information, and what properties in artworks trigger aesthetic experiences. The examination of the properties of aesthetic experience reveals essential aspects of our perceptual, cognitive, and semiotic capacities. The second issue studied in this volume is related to the ontology of the work of art: Written or visual artworks are a specific type of objects, containing particular kinds of representation which elicit a particular kind of experience. The research question explored is: What properties in artful objects trigger this type of experience, and what characterizes representation in written and visual artworks? The volume sets the scene for state-of-the-art inquiries in the intersection between the psychology and ontology of art. The investigations of the relation between the properties of artworks and the characteristics of aesthetic experience increase our insight into what art is. In addition, they shed light on essential properties of human meaning-making in general.

Questions of ethnic and cultural identities are central to the contemporary understanding of the Roman world. The expansion of Rome across Italy, the Mediterranean, and beyond entailed encounters with a wide range of peoples. Many of these had well-established pre-conquest ethnic identities which can be compared with Roman perceptions of them. In other cases, the ethnicity of peoples conquered by Rome has been perceived almost entirely through the lenses of Roman ethnographic writing and administrative structures. The formation of such identities, and the shaping of these identities by Rome, was a vital part of the process of Roman imperialism. Comparisons across the empire reveal some similarities in the processes of identity formation during and after the period of Roman conquest, but they also reveal a considerable degree of diversity and localisation in interactions between Romans and others. This volume explores how these practices of ethnic categorisation formed part of Roman strategies of control, and how people living in particular places internalised them and developed their own senses of belonging to an ethnic community. It includes both regional studies and thematic approaches by leading scholars in the field--Publisher website.

La biodiversité et les ressources biologiques sont essentielles à l’existence de toute société. Or les décideurs sont de plus en plus conscients que les pressions en faveur du développement se traduisent aujourd’hui par une diminution sans précédent de la biodiversité. Si les questions concernant la biodiversité ont une faible priorité dans les décisions des pouvoirs publics, c’est au moins partiellement en raison des problèmes que pose l’évaluation de ce que la diversité biologique apporte à la société, la valeur de cette contribution étant difficile à décrire et à quantifier. Il est en effet facile de négliger ce qui n’est pas quantifiable ou ce qui est difficile à contrôler et à évaluer. De ce fait, la biodiversité ne fait pas le poids, dans les décisions des pouvoirs publics, face aux forces qui contribuent à son dépérissement. Ce manuel décrit les types de valeurs généralement associées à la biodiversité. Si la nécessité de privilégier les valeurs économiques par rapport aux autres valeurs culturelles, traditionnelles et spirituelles souffre des exceptions, l’évaluation économique a de solides fondements théoriques qui peuvent aider à clarifier les arbitrages implicites dans les décisions des pouvoirs publics. Le manuel reconnaît aussi les limites de l’approche économique et il examine comment, en définitive, concilier les valeurs économiques et non économiques. Ce manuel considère également les diverses approches méthodologiques souvent adoptées pour quantifier ces valeurs. Il examine les données qui leur sont nécessaires ainsi que les inconvénients qu’elles présentent. Ces diverses méthodes sont ensuite appliquées à une série de cadres d’action concrets allant de la planification de l’utilisation des terres à la détermination des dommages-intérêts pour la détérioration de l’environnement.

Ecrites en éloge des professeurs d'éducation physique et des entraîneurs, des guides de haute montagne, des athlètes, danseuses, mimes, clowns, artisans et artistes... ces Variations décrivent les métamorphoses admirables que leur corps peut accomplir. Les animaux manquent d'une telle variété de gestes, postures et mouvements ; souple jusqu'à la fluidité, le corps humain imite à loisir choses et vivants ; de plus, il crée des signes. Déjà là dans ces positions et métamorphoses, l'esprit, alors, naît de ces variations. Le corps se révèle plus difficile à robotiser que l'intelligence, vite artificielle. Les cinq sens ne sont pas la seule source de la connaissance elle émerge, en grande part, des imitations que rend possibles l'extraordinaire plasticité du corps tout entier. En lui, avec lui et par lui commence le savoir. Du sport à la connaissance, il passe donc de la forme au signe, pour s'envoler en corps glorieux. Qu'est-ce que l'incarnation ? Une transfiguration.

Taking as its premise that the proposed epoch of the Anthropocene is necessarily an aesthetic event, this collection explores the relationship between contemporary art and knowledge production in an era of ecological crisis. Art in the Anthropocene brings together a multitude of disciplinary conversations, drawing together artists, curators, scientists, theorists and activists to address the geological reformation of the human species.
