For two centuries, Gesamtkunstwerk—the ideal of the “total work of art”—has exerted a powerful influence over artistic discourse and practice, spurring new forms of collaboration and provoking debates over the political instrumentalization of art. Despite its popular conflation with the work of Richard Wagner, Gesamtkunstwerk’s lineage and legacies extend well beyond German Romanticism, as this wide-ranging collection demonstrates. In eleven compact chapters, scholars from a variety of disciplines trace the idea’s evolution in German-speaking Europe, from its foundations in the early nineteenth century to its manifold articulations and reimaginings in the twentieth century and beyond, providing an uncommonly broad perspective on a distinctly modern cultural form.

In Monumental Sounds , Matthew G. Shoaf examines interactions between sight and hearing in spectacular church decoration in Italy between 1260 and 1320. In this "age of vision," authorities' concerns about whether and how worshipers listened to sacred speech spurred Giotto and other artists to reconfigure sacred stories to activate listening and ultimately bypass phenomenal experience for attitudes of inner receptivity. New naturalistic styles served that work, prompting viewers to give voice to depicted speech and guiding them toward spiritually fruitful auditory discipline. This study reimagines narrative pictures as site-specific extensions of a cultural system that made listening a meaningful practice. Close reading of religious texts, poetry, and art historiography augments Shoaf's novel approach to pictorial naturalism and art's multisensorial dimensions. This book has received the Weiss-Brown Publication Subvention Award from the Newberry Library. The award supports the publication of outstanding works of scholarship that cover European civilization before 1700 in the areas of music, theater, French or Italian literature, or cultural studies.

User de ses sens, c'est faire preuve de délicatesse. On dira d'une oreille qu'elle est fine, d'un palais qu'il est sophistiqué ou d'un toucher qu'il est délicat. Avant tout jugement esthétique, le goût est une affaire de papilles que l'on doit entraîner avec patience. Herman Parret nous rappelle avec force que l'esthétique s'enracine dans une expérience corporelle, qui n'est pas moins perspicace que l'esprit. Notre aisthèsis gagne en finesse quand elle se perd, sans finalité ni idéal, dans les mailles de la matière. La jouissance : tout un art. Celui auquel s'entraîne, dans ses vagabondages toujours exigeants, le felix aestheticus. ; Un recueil de trois nouveaux essais d'esthétique, entre arts visuels et littérature, d'Herman Parret, philosophe déclaré et sémioticien sans le dire, compagnon du club de pensée réuni par Greimas dans les années 1970-80, et depuis lors tout proche témoin de ses prolongements : une réflexion sur la « délicatesse » dans les divers domaines de la sensorialité (le visible, le sonore, le gustatif et le tactile), d'Aristote à Gerhard Richter en passant par Léonard de Vinci, Rameau, Nietzsche, Proust et Marcel Duchamp – une lecture des plus suggestives pour la construction ou le développement d'une sémiotique (du) sensible.

Sensation is the subject of a burgeoning field in the humanities. This volume examines its role in the religious changes and transformations of early modern Europe. Sensation was not only central to the doctrinal disputes of the Reformation, but also critical in shaping new or reformed devotional practices. From this vantage point the book explores the intersections between the world of religion and the spheres of art, music, and literature; food and smell; sacred things and spaces; ritual and community; science and medicine. Deployed in varying, often contested ways, the senses were essential pathways to the sacred. They permitted knowledge of the divine and the universe, triggered affective responses, shaped holy environments, and served to heal, guide, or discipline body and soul. Contributors include Alfred Acres, Barbara Baert, Andrew R. Casper, Wietse de Boer, Sven Dupré, Iain Fenlon, Laura Giannetti, Christine Göttler, Jennifer R. Hammerschmidt, Joseph Imorde, Rachel King, Jennifer Rae McDermott, Walter S. Melion, Matthew Milner, Sarah Joan Moran, Yvonne Petry, and Klaus Pietschmann.
