Abstract

L'objet qui fut traditionnellement représenté dans l'art sous son aspect strictement fonctionnel se présente désormais dans l'art d'aujourd'hui comme une œuvre à part entière. A travers une approche philosophique et historique l'auteur s'est attaché à la compréhension du statut de l'objet dans l'art d'aujourd'hui mettant en évidence une logique de l'objet dans l'histoire de l'art, l'esthétique, l'art contemporain, qui devait aboutir à son inévitable rencontre avec le design. Cet essai apporte sa contribution au débat sur le statut de l'art aujourd'hui et conteste un certain ton désabusé adopté actuellement par de nombreux critiques et historiens d'art. http://www.disvoir.com

Abstract

Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, explain, remark on, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would, in short, stop speaking ; we would become as mute as objects are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without losing their gritty materiality. Things That Talk aims to escape the opposition between positivist facts and cultural readings that bifurcates the current historiography of both art and science. Confronting this impasse from an interdisciplinary perspective, each author singles out one object for close attention : a Bosch drawing, the freestanding column, a Prussian island, soap bubbles, early photographs, glass flowers, Rorschach blots, newspaper clippings, paintings by Jackson Pollock. Each object is revealed to be a node around which meanings accrete thickly. But not just any meanings: what these things are made of and how they are made shape what they can mean. Neither the pure texts of semiotics nor the brute objects of positivism, these things are saturated with cultural significance. Things become talkative when they fuse matter and meaning; they lapse into speechlessness when their matter and meanings no longer mesh.
