Abstract

Narration and Knowledge is a classic work exploring the nature of historical knowledge and its reliance on narrative. Analytical philosopher Arthur C. Danto introduces the concept of "narrative sentences," in which an event is described with reference to later events (for example, "the Thirty Years' War began in 1618") and discusses why such sentences cannot be understood until the later event happens (no one could have said in 1618 that "the Thirty Years' War began today"). Danto compares narrative and scientific explanation and explores the legitimacy of historical laws. He also argues that history is an autonomous and humanist discipline incapable of being reduced to scientific descriptions. Lydia Goehr's new introduction illustrates Danto's main arguments by questioning her very role, first, as an introducer of a book that has not yet been read by readers and, second, as an interpreter of a book written forty years ago. Frank Ankersmit's conclusion revisits the initial impact of the publication of Narration and Knowledge and considers its enduring legacy.-- Publisher.

Abstract

L'auteur conteste ici le "récit dominant" de l'art occidental. Il confronte cette tradition aux récits concurrents qui ont cours en Orient ou en Afrique, et s'interroge sur les présupposés philosophiques de la notion même d'Histoire de l'art. Il examine la collusion opérée entre l'art et la production industrielle, qui modifie depuis 1964 la production et la réception des oeuvres - y compris des oeuvres antérieures à cette date symbolique- et le régime pluraliste qui en résulte aujourd'hui. Un livre limpide, allègre et plein d'humour par une série d'analyses très vives d'oeuvres contemporaines.
