"How do our senses help us to understand the world? This question, which preoccupied Enlightenment thinkers, also emerged as a key theme in depictions of animals in eighteenth-century art. This book examines the ways in which painters such as Chardin, as well as sculptors, porcelain modelers, and other decorative designers portrayed animals as sensing subjects who physically confirmed the value of material experience. The sensual style known today as the Rococo encouraged the proliferation of animals as exemplars of empirical inquiry, ranging from the popular subject of the monkey artist to the alchemical wonders of the life-sized porcelain animals created for the Saxon court. Examining writings on sensory knowledge by La Mettre, Condillac, Diderot and other philosophers side by side with depictions of the animal in art, Cohen argues that artists promoted the animal as a sensory subject while also validating the material basis of their own professional practice"--

Poissons qui grimpent aux arbres, cigognes qui prennent soin de leurs parents... A l'ère prémoderne, les textes et les arts visuels forment un fabuleux bestiaire qui révèle l'inventivité et la richesse de la réflexion sur les animaux. Les études de ce volume vous font découvrir l'animal dans tous ses états : est-il une simple image anthropomorphique de l'homme ? Un modèle à suivre ? Ou même un être autonome, égal ou supérieur à l'homme ? Explorant une diversité de textes - fables, poésie, roman, récits de voyage, emblèmes - et de médias visuels - peinture, tapisserie, bijouterie, ce volume montre les fructueux échanges prémodernes entre l'histoire naturelle et les arts. En interrogeant implicitement la nécessité de dépasser l'anthropocentrisme et l'anthropomorphisme régnants, il s'inscrit dans les nouvelles tendances de la critique culturelle. Fish climbing trees, storks taking care of their parents...Premodern textual and visual culture presents us with a fabulous bestiary that reveals ingenious and rich reflections on the animal kingdom. The studies united in this volume will allow you to discover animals in all their possible states: are they simple anthropomorphic images of man? Models to follow? Or autonomous beings, equal or even superior to man? By exploring a large diversity of texts - fables, poetry, novels, travel narratives, emblematic works - and visual media - paintings, tapestries, jewellery, this richly illustrated volume displays the fruitful premodern exchanges between natural history and culture. It follows new trends in cultural criticism by implicitly interrogating the need to move beyond the reigning paradigms of anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism. -- quatrième de couverture.
