Abstract

A principio erat verbum. La position spirituelle et la situation littéraire d’un écrivain engoncé entre une fin de siècle matérialiste et un avant-siècle se prosternant devant l’idéologie du Progrès le condamne parfois à errer en une sorte d’interrègne, qui masque la modernité de son interrogation religieuse. Chez Huysmans, ce réseau de signes apparemment contraires désigne le lieu d’une interrogation essentielle. Celle-ci ne trouvera sa réponse qu’à partir du cycle de Durtal, tandis que son foyer demeurera sans cesse ardent jusqu’à la conversion de l’écrivain, en 1892, et au-delà. Loin d’être frappés de désuétude, le long cheminement spirituel et son point d’orgue, la déclaration de foi, rendent Huysmans plus proche de nous. Ses hésitations et ses atermoiements confèrent une sincérité douloureuse à son besoin d’absolu. Tout un pluriel d’interrogations trouvent une manière de réponse dans le cycle catholique (En route, La Cathédrale, L’Oblat), mais déjà, les états d’âme de des Esseintes laissent assez tôt entrevoir les états de l’âme, celle qui s’ouvre à l’éveil de la foi. Ce livre, tiré des travaux du colloque Joris-Karl Huysmans organisé à l’Institut catholique de Rennes le 15 décembre 2007, à l’occasion du centenaire de la mort de l’écrivain, exprime au sujet de Huysmans certaine nouveauté, relative à la seconde partie de la vie de l’écrivain. Soit qu’il s’agisse de projeter une lumière inédite sur quelques aspects choisis de la figure de l’homme et de l’œuvre dite catholique ; soit qu’il s’agisse de mettre au jour des aspects eux-mêmes moins connus, qui convergent vers l’image d’un Huysmans, homme de la synthèse.

Abstract

"What was the significance of books in a religion without a sacred text? From the beginning of critical study of religion, the presence of Scripture - sacred and authoritative texts - has divided a few privileged Religions of the Book from other religions, including Roman religion, that lack such books. Arguing that we should look beyond this distinction, Legible Religion examines the role of books in Roman religious culture. In order to get at the question of the place of books in religion, the study includes an extended comparison between Roman books on their religion and the Mishnah, an early Rabbinic compilation of Jewish practice and law, to highlight how non-Scriptural texts can play an important part in the demarcation of religious systems."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Read often, learn all that you can. Let sleep overcome you, the roll still in your hands; when your head falls, let it be on the sacred page." (St Jerome, 384 AD). With these words, the Church Father Jerome exhorted the young Eustochium to find on the sacred page the spiritual nourishment that would give her the strength to live a life of chastity and to keep her monastic vows. His call to read does not stand alone. Books and reading have always played a pivotal role in early and medieval Christianity, often defined as ‘a religion of the book’.A second important stage in the development of the ‘religion of the book’ can be attested in the late Middle Ages, when religious reading was no longer the exclusive right of men and women living in solitude and concentrating on prayer and meditation. Changes in the religious landscape and the birth of new religious movements transformed the medieval town into a privileged area of religious activity. Increasing literacy opened the door to a new and wider public of lay readers. This seminal transformation in the late medieval cultural horizon saw the growing importance of the vernacular, the cultural and religious emancipation of the laity, and the increasing participation of lay people in religious life and activities.This volume presents a new, interdisciplinary approach to religious reading and reading techniques in a lay environment within late medieval textual, social, and cultural transformations.
