Abstract

Ulysse, de retour à Ithaque, dépose les cadeaux qu'il a reçus du roi des Phéniciens dans une grotte sur la côte de son île. Porphyre propose une allégorie dans laquelle la grotte devient le symbole du monde sensible dans lequel l'âme humaine, issue de l'intelligible, s'établit un temps avant de remonter vers son lieu d'origine.

Abstract

Comme son titre, 'Ulysse Lumumba', l'indique peut-être, ce livre mêle l'histoire, proprement historique, d'un homme politique congolais nommé Patrice Émery Lumumba et la légende grecque (et donc occidentale) d'Ulysse, telle que nous l'a rapportée Homère. Il invente pour ce faire une forme hybride et inclassable, mariant la prose et la poésie, le récit, la fable et la méditation, le lyrisme et l'humour, le pastiche, le détournement référentiel et le brassage intertextuel où Dante et Rimbaud rencontrent Aimé Césaire. Un tel foisonnement permet à Laurent Demoulin de multiplier les points de vue, de déconstruire en finesse et sans angélisme le regard occidental sur l'Afrique, non sans interroger au passage sa propre position d'auteur ; mais aussi de croiser et faire dialoguer les traditions culturelles africaine et européenne. En filigrane, une question : que faire, lorsqu'on est d'une génération ayant grandi au tournant des années 1960-1970 dans une Belgique encore prospère et tranquillement assise sur ses certitudes, avec le passé colonial du pays ; comment vivre aujourd'hui avec ça ?

Abstract

"Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. It has been celebrated for its beauty and mystery, its realistic depiction of space travel and dazzling display of visual effects, the breathtaking scope of its story, which reaches across millions of years, and the thought-provoking depth of its meditation on evolution, technology and humanity's encounters with the unknown. 2001 has been described as the most expensive avant-garde movie ever made and as a psychedelic trip, a unique expression of the spirit of the 1960s and as a timeless masterpiece.Peter Krämer's insightful study explores the complex origins of the film, the unique shape it took and the extraordinary impact it made on contemporary audiences. Drawing on new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London, Krämer challenges many of the widely-held assumptions about the film. He argues that 2001 was Kubrick's attempt to counter the deep pessimism of his previous film, Dr Strangelove (1964), which culminates in the explosion of a nuclear 'doomsday' device, with a more hopeful vision of humanity's future, facilitated by the intervention of mysterious extra-terrestrial artifacts.This study traces the project's development from the first letter Kubrick wrote to his future collaborator Arthur C. Clarke in March 1964 all the way to the dramatic changes Kubrick made to the film shortly before its release by MGM in April 1968. Krämer shows that, despite – or, perhaps, because of – Kubrick's daring last-minute decision to turn the film itself into a mysterious artifact, 2001 was an instant success with both critics and general audiences, and has exerted enormous influence over Hollywood's output of science fiction movies ever since. The book argues that 2001 invites us to enjoy and contemplate its sounds and images over and over again, and, if we are so inclined, to take away from it an important message of hope."--
