Issu d'un projet pluridisciplinaire mené par les membres de l'équipe CLARESS du laboratoire POLEN, ce volume rassemble les contributions d'historiens, de littéraires et d'historiens de l'art qui, par le biais d'une approche globale, saisissent l'anecdote à l'époque moderne, comme forme littéraire et pratique sociale. Cet ouvrage part du constat de la présence de l'anecdote dans une pluralité de genres et de domaines (l'écriture historique et celle des mémoires, les textes judiciaires, les écrits de polémique, les traités d'éducation, les sermons, les correspondances, les récits de voyages, la presse). Quatre axes organisent la réflexion. Les deux premiers concernent la place de l'anecdote dans la biographie. Loin d'être seulement un élément de divertissement, elle est une composante essentielle du récit et contribue à replacer l'individu dans une figure type. En outre elle apparaît, et c'est la troisième approche, comme constitutive de systèmes de valeurs. Cette problématique est traitée ici au travers des exemples de l'éthique et du politique. Se posant comme exemple incarné, l'anecdote vise à asseoir une morale. Dans le domaine politique, elle contribue à la construction d'une rhétorique spécifique qui permet d'aborder des idées plus générales. Cet aspect ouvre sur une problématique de la circulation, des sociabilités et des usages de l'anecdote entre des genres différents, entre des espaces géographiques, entre des versions successives d'un même texte. Elle suppose des connivences entre les adeptes. Ce faisant, elle apparaît, dans l'optique pluridisciplinaire choisie, non seulement comme une forme littéraire, mais aussi comme un observatoire des évolutions sociales, culturelles et intellectuelles de l'époque moderne.

Sophisticated Giant presents the life and legacy of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (1923-1990), one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography, history, and memoir, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began, weaving his "solo" turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. Reading like a jazz composition, the blend of research, anecdote, and a selection of Dexter's personal letters reflects his colorful life and legendary times. It is clear why the celebrated trumpet genius Dizzy Gillespie said to Dexter, "Man, you ought to leave your karma to science." Dexter Gordon the icon is the Dexter beloved and celebrated on albums, on film, and in jazz lore--even in a street named for him in Copenhagen. But this image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the multidimensional man full of humor and wisdom, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son, father, husband, and world citizen. This essential book is an attempt to fill in the gaps created by our misperceptions as well as the gaps left by Dexter himself.

An original and beautifully written book on changing perspectives in the art of theater. Through a study of nine plays-Oedipus Rex, Bérénice, Tristan und Isolde, Hamlet, Ghosts, The Cherry Orchard, Six Characters in Search of an Author, Noah, Murder in the Cathedral-the author shows how all playwrights seek to "hold the mirror up to nature" and how in this respect the art of drama is always the same, varying only with the philosophical and aesthetic concepts of each age. The Idea of a Theater will delight both readers with a special interest in drama and those who read drama as a source of insight into man's nature and man's changing ideas of himself.

Although Chinese narrative, and especially the genres of colloquial fiction, have been subjected to intensive scholarly scrutiny, no comprehensive volume has provided a framework that would permit an overall view of the tradition. The distinguished contributors to this volume have taken an important first step in making possible the consideration of Chinese narrative at the level of comparative and general literary scholarship.Originally published in 1977.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

"Wartime Kiss is a personal meditation on the haunting power of American photographs and films from World War II and the later 1940s. Starting with a powerful reinterpretation of one of the most famous photos of all time, Alfred Eisenstaedt's image of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day, Alexander Nemerov goes on to examine an idiosyncratic collection of mostly obscure or unknown images and movie episodes--from a photo of Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland lying on a picnic blanket in the Santa Barbara hills to scenes from such films as Twelve O'Clock High and Hold Back the Dawn. Erotically charged and bearing traces of trauma even when they seem far removed from the war, these photos and scenes seem to hold out the promise of a palpable and emotional connection to those years. Through a series of fascinating stories, Nemerov reveals the surprising background of these bits of film and discovers unexpected connections between the war and Hollywood, from an obsession with aviation to Anne Frank's love of the movies. Beautifully written and illustrated, Wartime Kiss vividly evokes a world in which Margaret Bourke-White could follow a heroic assignment photographing a B-17 bombing mission over Tunis with a job in Hollywood documenting the filming of a war movie. Ultimately this is a book about history as a sensuous experience, a work as mysterious, indescribable, and affecting as a novel by W. G. Sebald"--
