The essays collected in The Five Senses in Medieval and Early Modern England examine the interrelationships between sense perception and secular and Christian cultures in England from the medieval into the early modern periods. They address canonical texts and writers in the fields of poetry, drama, homiletics, martyrology and early scientific writing, and they espouse methods associated with the fields of corpus linguistics, disability studies, translation studies, art history and archaeology, as well as approaches derived from traditional literary studies. Together, these papers constitute a major contribution to the growing field of sensorial research that will be of interest to historians of perception and cognition as well as to historians with more generalist interests in medieval and early modern England. Contributors include: Dieter Bitterli, Beatrix Busse, Rory Critten, Javier Díaz-Vera, Tobias Gabel, Jens Martin Gurr, Katherine Hindley, Farah Karim-Cooper, Annette Kern-Stähler, Richard Newhauser, Sean Otto, Virginia Richter, Elizabeth Robertson, and Kathrin Scheuchzer

"The Sensual Philosophy offers a richly illuminating reading of James Joyce's canon, placing his texts in the context of the medieval mystical tradition that had influenced and interested Joyce since his school days. In exploring Joyce's indebtedness to the artistic and theological culture of the Middle Ages, Colleen Jaurretche also identifies the origins of modernist aesthetics in medieval forms of representation." "Jaurretche traces the development of Joyce's mystical aesthetic through a critical examination of his novels, culminating in the supreme negative mystical aestheticism of Finnegans Wake. In this novel, Joyce's "sensual philosophy" - the subjective epistemological foundation of art - establishes the construction of personality, representation, and art, surmounting the divisions of psychology and physiology, of subject and object, in the "night" of the negative mystical tradition."--BOOK JACKET.

Ce volume propose l’analyse de la place qu’occupent les cinq sens dans cette période de transition qui conduit du Moyen Âge à la Renaissance, soit les XVe et XVIe siècles. L’approche en est résolument interdisciplinaire et confronte la théologie, la littérature, les arts figurés et les sciences. Il s’agit d’apprécier les sens dans les modes de pensée et les représentations, ainsi que leurs balances : la vue, l’ouïe et les sens réputés moins nobles, comme le goût, l’odorat et le toucher, qui entretiennent des relations complexes et variables. Comment, en d’autres termes, s’opère le partage du sensible ? La pensée analogique, héritée de la tradition patristique, montre à l’aube de la Renaissance des signes de faiblesse : sources du plaisir, du bonheur, voire de la béatitude, ouverture sur le monde et la beauté, les sens ne sont plus simplement des occasions de pécher, ils sont aussi l’objet d’enjeux esthétiques et jouent un rôle actif dans la création artistique grâce aux liens qui les unissent à l’imaginaire.
