La musique sans paroles peut-elle faire sens ? Qu’exprime-t-elle ? Peut-on signifier sans représenter ? Avec les œuvres symphoniques de Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven et, plus largement, avec l’apparition de la musique instrumentale autonome, c’est la manière de concevoir la signification qui est bouleversée à la fin du XVIIIe siècle : le langage verbal n’a plus le monopole de la pensée. Les débats se multiplient et l’on assiste avec eux, entre le début et la fin du XIXe siècle, à l’affirmation de « styles » musicaux, en France, en Angleterre et en Allemagne. Touchant à la conception même du langage, ces questions vont se poser pour l’ensemble des productions symboliques : poésie et peinture doivent alors apprendre comment exister sans représenter. À l’orée du XXe siècle, les œuvres de Freud ou de Saussure autant que celles de Stravinsky ou de Schoenberg, de Mallarmé ou de Van Gogh sont l’héritage de cette période intellectuelle foisonnante. Resituer les familles de pensée, comprendre comment elles s’influencent, c’est ce que propose cet ouvrage, nous offrant ainsi des clés originales pour mieux apprécier les œuvres dans leur singularité et leur rapport au monde. How can music without words have a meaning? What effect does it have? Is it possible to have a meaning without any representation? Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven’s symphonies, and more generally, the autonomous instrumental music of the 19th century forced us to reconsider the process of meaning. The pre-eminence of verbal language was now a thing of the past. This generated considerable discussion. Between the beginning and the end of the 19th century, in England, France and Germany, new ways of thinking emerged. These related to the personal style of a composer and the very elaboration of a language. They thus encompassed poetry and painting. All forms of symbolic production must, therefore, be able to exist without the help of representation. At the beginning of the 20th century, the works of Freud and…

Signposts to Silence provides a theoretical map of what it terms ‘metaphysical mysticism’: the search for the furthest, most inclusive horizon, the domain of silence, which underlies the religious and metaphysical urge of humankind in its finest forms. Tracing the footsteps of pioneers of this exploration, the investigation also documents a number of historical pilgrimages from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. Such mountaineers of the spirit, who created paths trodden by groups of followers over centuries and in some cases millennia, include Lao-Tzu and Chuang-Tzu, Siddhattha and Jesus, Sankara and Fa-tsang, Plato and Plotinus, Isaac Luria and Ibn Arabi, Aquinas and Hegel. Such figures, teachings and traditions (including the religions of ‘Judaism’, ‘Christianity’ and ‘Islam’; ‘Hinduism’, ‘Buddhism’ and ‘Taoism’) are understood as, at their most sublime, not final destiny and the end of the road, but signposts to a horizon of ultimate silence. The hermeneutical method employed in tracking such pioneers involves four steps:• sound historical-critical understanding of the context of the various traditions and figures• reconstruction of the subjective intentional structure of such persons and their teachings• design, by the author, of a theoretical map of the overall terrain of ‘metaphysical mysticism’, on which all such journeys of the spirit are to be located, while providing a theoretical context for understanding them tendentionally (i.e. taking the ultimate drift of their thinking essentially to transcend their subjective intentions)• drawing out, within the space available, some political (taken in a wide sense) implications from the above, such as religio-political stances as well as ecological and gender implications.Continuing the general direction of thought within what the author endorses to be the best in metaphysical mysticism in its historical manifestations, the book aims to contribute to peace amongst religions in the contemporary global cultural situation. It relativizes all claims to exclusive, absolute truth that might be proclaimed by any religious or metaphysical, mystical position, while providing space for not only tolerating, but also affirming the unique value and dignity of each. This orientation moves beyond the stances of enmity or indifference or syncretism or homogenisation of all, as well as that of mere friendly toleration. It investigates the seemingly daunting and inhospitable yet immensely significant Antarctica of the Spirit, the ‘meta’-space of silence behind the various forms of wordy ‘inter’-relationships. It affirms pars pro toto, totum pro parte, and pars pro parte: that each religious, mystical and metaphysical orientation in its relative singularity represents or contains the whole and derives value from that, and that each represents or contains every other. This homoversal solidarity stimulating individual uniqueness is different from and in fact implies criticism of the process of globalisation. While not taking part in a scientific argument as such, Signposts to Silence aims at promoting an understanding of science and metaphysical mysticism as mutual context for each other, and it listens to a number of voices from the domain of science that understand this.

Ce volume présente les résultats d'un programme de recherche pluridisciplinaire ("Balkans 4000") financé par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) et coordonné par l'éditrice entre 2007 et 2011, lorsqu'elle était membre de la Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée (laboratoire Archéologie et Archéométrie). Les 192 nouvelles datations 14C, produites dans les laboratoires de Lyon, Saclay et Athènes (Demokritos) à partir d'échantillons venant de 34 sites en Grèce et en Bulgarie, couvrent la période s'étendant de la fin du VIe au début du IIIe millénaire av. J.-C. Ces datations éclairent l'évolution du peuplement durant les dernières phases du Néolithique, et plus particulièrement la transition vers l'âge du Bronze durant "l'obscur" IVe millénaire. Trente et un chercheurs, archéologues et spécialistes des datations 14C, signent les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume.

Plural logic has seen a surge of interest in recent years. This book explores its broader significance for philosophy, logic, and linguistics. What can plural logic do for us? Are the bold claims made on its behalf correct? The result is a more nuanced picture of plural logic's applications than has been given thus far.

The present volume examines the usefulness of a particular set of concepts and processes of change studying their applicability to a range of linguistic changes in Spanish and Latin that cannot be easily or can only be partially accounted for within the framework of grammaticalization. Rather than challenging the insights of grammaticalization theory, the different contributions to this monograph demonstrate that exaptation, capitalization, refunctionalization and adfunctionalization, as well as changes motivated by rhetorical guidelines, constitute interesting and valuable notions that allow for a better understanding of specific language changes in Spanish and, by extension, of language change in general.
