Abstract

Adolescence is a phase of transition, change and upheaval. These processes are often translated into movements through space in literary representations. The narrated space is to be read in its construction and semantics as a complex symbol carrier that is able to connect different dimensions with one another. With reference to cultural-scientific spatial theories, the study develops a methodical model to analyze current youth novels from a topographical perspective and thus to discuss the interweaving of space, movement and growing up. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Räume der Adoleszenz by Anna Stemmann, published by J.B Metzler, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Abstract

Fantasme, souvenir, rêve, mythe, roman, fiction... Autant d'expressions de l'imaginaire de l'homme ou d'une culture. Individuel ou collectif, l'imaginaire est traité de manière ambivalente, soit comme une source de maux, soit comme le moyen d'un enrichissement. Qu'est-ce qui pousse une conscience à s'imaginer un monde autre ? L'imaginaire est-il appauvrissant, aliénant, libérateur ? A la croisée des disciplines, cet ouvrage propose une analyse philosophique de ce qui nous détache de l'immédiat, nous invite au ludique, nous permet de penser lorsque le savoir est défaillant, nous offre un horizon, l'imaginaire.

Abstract

« Que voulez-vous ? moi, j'ai donné ma vie / A ce dieu fainéant qu’on nomme fantaisie ». Ces paroles de Rafael Garuci, dandy-bouffon des Marrons du feu, illustrent parfaitement l’esthétique de Musset qui accorde l’imagination créatrice à l’inspiration du moment. Réceptif à la culture allemande (Jean Paul et Hoffmann) aussi bien qu’à celle de ses contemporains (Hugo, Nodier, Mérimée), le jeune poète expérimente des formes littéraires diverses et harmonise des tonalités variées. S’il badine en ses débuts avec le fantastique, il élève d’emblée la digression au rang d’art poétique ; il cultive le sens de la surprise comme Fantasio sa tulipe bleue. Pour décrire cet univers artistique singulier, la critique a choisi le terme « fantaisie », mot que Musset instille subtilement dans son œuvre, au point que « caprice et fantaisie » sont devenus indissociables du poète de Namouna et de son imagination créatrice. L’Eventail et le dandy invite à relire l’œuvre de l’enfant du siècle à la lumière de l’insolente fantaisie.

Abstract

This edited collection investigates the kinds of philosophical reflection we can undertake in the imaginative worlds of literature. Opening with a look into the relations between philosophical thought and literary interpretation, the volume proceeds through absorbing discussions of the ways we can see life through the lens of literature, the relations between philosophical saying and literary showing, and some ways we can see the literary past philosophically and assess its significance for the present. Taken as a whole, the volume shows how imagined contexts can be a source of knowledge, a source of conceptual clarification, and a source of insight and understanding. And because philosophical thinking is undertaken, after all, in words, a heightened sensitivity to the precise employments of our words - particularly philosophically central words such as truth, reality, perception, knowledge, selfhood, illusion, understanding, falsehood - can bring a clarity and a refreshed sense of the life that our words take on in fully-described contexts of usage. And in these imagined contexts we can also see more acutely and deeply into the meaning of words about words - metaphor and figurative tropes, verbal coherence, intelligibility, implication, sense, and indeed the word "meaning" itself. Moving from a philosophical issue into a literary world in which the central concepts of that issue are in play can thus enrich our comprehension of those concepts and, in the strongest cases, substantively change the way we see them. With a combination of conceptual acuity and literary sensitivity, this volume maps out some of the territory that philosophical reflection and literary engagement share.

Abstract

Just Like Being There is the first collection of science fiction stories by award-winning author and aerospace engineer Eric Choi spanning his 25 year writing career. The stories are "hard" science fiction in which some element of engineering or science is so central there would be no story if that element were removed. Story topics include space exploration, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, cryptography, quantum computing, online privacy, mathematics (statistics), neuroscience, psychology, space medicine, extra-terrestrial intelligence, undersea exploration, commercial aviation, and the history of science. A special feature of the book is that each story is followed by an "Afterword" that explains the underlying engineering or science. This collection will entertain and inform all aficionados of science and science fiction.

Abstract

"In an account informed by Benjamin and Nietzsche, Ian Ellison explores the melancholy of late modernist fictions by Patrick Modiano, W. G. Sebald and Antonio Muñoz Molina. These epigonal fictions cross the threshold between fiction and history and are gathered here as works of detection which emphasize the pathos of their own epistemological failure. Although Ellison acknowledges that these novels communicate the exhaustion of European culture and the irreconcilable violence of its past, notably against its Jews, he proposes that a rejuvenation of the future is still possible. This book is a fresh and adeptly theorised work by an emerging scholar in comparative literary studies." --Richard Robinson, Associate Professor of English, Swansea University, UK This book is the first comparative study of novels by Patrick Modiano, W. G. Sebald, and Antonio Muñoz Molina. Drawing on many literary figures, movements, and traditions, from the Spanish Golden Age, to German Romanticism, to French philosophy, via Jewish modernist literature, Ian Ellison offers a fresh perspective on European fiction published around the turn of the millennium. Reflecting on what makes European fiction European, this book examines how certain novels understand themselves to be culturally and historically late, expressing a melancholy awareness of how the past and present are irreconcilable. Within this framework, however, it considers how backwards-facing, tradition-oriented self-consciousness, burdened by a sense of exhaustion in European culture and the violence of its past, may yet suggest the potential for re-enchantment in the face of obsolescence. Ian Ellison divides his time as a DAAD PRIME postdoctoral research fellow between the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, their Paris School of Arts & Culture, France, and the Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. This is his first book.

Abstract

[7e éd.] Qu'est-ce qu'un processus créatif ? Quels en sont les déterminants, les invariants et les concomitants éventuels ? Existe-t-il des types objectifs de problèmes, c'est-à-dire des variétés de situations créatives indépendantes des systèmes de résolution qui s'y confrontent dans des circonstances données ? Y a-t-il une ingénierie de la création ? Cet ouvrage montre comment la créativité est simultanément une œuvre de connaissance, un enjeu de communication et un effet de sociabilité. Les éléments d'expérience ou de savoir qui s'y trouvent tissés n'émergent pas d'un vide social ou d'un chaos primordial. Ils résultent de l'accumulation des réalisations antérieures, de la différenciation des réseaux d'échange et de pouvoir, et de l'utilisation complexe de ces réseaux.
