Abstract

In this second part of Homily 71, On the Fashioning of Creation, Jacob treats the making of the firmament: what it was, where it was, what – as far as can be determined – was placed above it and what below it, its purpose and utility for humanity, and the importance of its place in the Genesis account of the six day progression of creation.

Abstract

The BUDA Arts centre in Kortrijk is one of the biggest workspaces in Europe dedicated to creation in the performing arts and will soon be celebrating its 10th anniversary. In the meantime, more than one thousand artists have worked in its studios and theatre venues. Workspaces, as a given (and often un-chosen) setting in which to work, have a great impact on the way the work is created and on the final result of the process. BUDA wants to work with the future vision of creation, to gather artists and people from other fields, to take position in the political debates, and remain out of the art institution.

Abstract

Cette correspondance entre Noëlle Renaude et Barbara Métais-Chastanier, qui devait n’être au départ qu’un bref entretien, a pris la tournure d’un ouvrage plus conséquent qui s’est inventé pendant plus d’une année. Devenant essai à deux voix, débordant la question initiale de l’accident, de l’imprévu et du hasard, il explore au fil du dialogue, de manière poétique, critique et digressive, le processus d’une écriture liée à l’énigme de la scène. Organisé en séquences journalières, le balancement des questions, des réponses et des réflexions, auquel se sont livrées librement les deux interlocutrices, a fini par produire, comme un accident, ce que Robert Cantarella appelle un « manuel de dérangement », et à cette occasion un traité sur le théâtre. This epistolary conversation between Noëlle Renaude and Barbara Métais-Chastanier was initially meant to be a short interview, yet it turned into a more substantial piece of work that they invented together for over a year. Moving beyond the realm of the original topics of the accident, the unexpected, and chance, it became a two-voice essay which, over the course of the dialogue, explores a writing process, linked to the enigma of the stage, in a poetic, critical, and digressive way. In daily sequences, the two correspondents freely engaged in a seesaw of questions, answers, and reflections, which finally produced, as if by accident, what Robert Cantarella calls a “Guide to Disruption” and, on this occasion, a treatise on theater.

Abstract

Que pourrait apporter la réflexion philosophique à la compréhension de la créativité ? L’auteur élabore d’abord une histoire idéalisée de la philosophie qui montre comment la créativité a été perçue à travers les tournants décisifs de l’histoire de la philosophie. Il s’emploie ensuite à dégager les principales implications de l’activité créatrice pour aboutir à s’interroger sur les exigences de l’évaluation de la création.

Abstract

To confront with the other is the indispensable condition of the formation of one’s identity. This is also the case with groups; each community defines itself against the foreign. Imagology deals with the scientific research of mental images formed about the other and the self. The volume includes theoretical studies and case studies on the theoretical-historical approach of this interdisciplinary domain. Zsuzsa Tapodi’s general survey is supplemented by Joep Leerssen’s study from the perspective of the history of literature and mentality as well as by Sorin Mitu’s article from the perspective of history. Discussing Balkanism in connection with George Enescu’s opera, Dan Anghelescu’s analysis in the field of aesthetics sets against the terms the Balkans and Balkanism used as negative stereotypes. This is a positive characteristic, the container of those features which make the Romanian composer’s works unique and which can convey the Nietzschean concept of tragedy. Through the analysis of the edition in Romania of Áron Tamási’s autobiographical volume, Árpád Kémenes’s study argues that in the case of Hungarian authors the communist censorship banned not only the fragments showing a negative image of the Romanians, but also those reinforcing the Hungarians’ identity. Sorin Mitu’s study analyses the Hungarians’ image about the Romanians and the Romanians’ image about the Hungarians; Axel Braner follows the changes of German writers’ image about the Romanians. Zsuzsa Tapodi presents two books related to imagology, on xenophobia, by the Italian belletrist and theoretician Umberto Eco.

Abstract

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn's article on evolution and creation in The New York Times launched an international controversy. Critics charged him with biblical literalism and "creationism".In this book, Cardinal Schönborn responds to his critics by tackling the hard questions with a carefully reasoned "theology of creation". Can we still speak intelligently of the world as "creation" and affirm the existence of the Creator, or is God a "delusion"? How should an informed believer read Genesis? If God exists, why is there so much injustice and suffering? Are human beings a part of nature or elevated above it? What is man's destiny? Is everything a matter of chance or can we discern purpose in human existence?In his treatment of evolution, Cardinal Schönborn distinguishes the biological theory from "evolutionism", the ideology that tries to reduce all of reality to mindless, meaningless processes. He argues that science and a rationally grounded faith are not at odds and that what many people represent as "science" is really a set of philosophical positions that will not withstand critical scrutiny.Chance or Purpose? directly raises the philosophical and theological issues many scientists today overlook or ignore. The result is a vigorous, frank dialogue that acknowledges the respective insights of the philosopher, the theologian and the scientist, but which calls on them to listen and to learn from each another.

Abstract

Avec le talent de vulgarisateur qu'on lui connat, Hubert Reeves explique, en faisant d'habiles parallèles avec la créativité humaine, ce que l'on sait aujourd'hui de la création de l'Univers. Avec ses mots et ses idées simples, pures comme des haïkus, Hubert Reeves arrive à faire comprendre l'infiniment complexe, tout en amenant ses lecteurs au bord du gouffre métaphysique.
