Abstract

Limite de mon champ visuel, l'horizon me lie au monde et à autrui. Il est là-bas, mais cette limite n'est pas objective. Et pourtant, combien de fois ai-je l'impression que je pourrais m'en approcher, le toucher, passer au-dessous ou au-delà ? C'est dans un sens presque tangible qu'il faut aborder l'horizon. S'il est fabuleux et imaginaire si nul ne peut le rejoindre, il n'en constitue pas moins un repère stable pour les premiers astronomes, un guide pour les navigateurs et une assise vers laquelle se tournent les cosmonautes. Le rôle qu'il a joué dans des champs aussi différents que l'astronomie, l'histoire des grandes découvertes, la représentation de la perspective montre avec éclat qu'il sert constamment d'appui dans la construction du monde. Tantôt ligne, tantôt cercle, ouverture ou clôture, support du point de fuite ou lieu chimérique, marque du fini ou résonance de l'infini, limite enveloppante ou abîme vertigineux., les aspects apparemment contradictoires de l'horizon nous obligent à nous demander quelle est son unité. Dans les sciences comme dans les arts, c'est un instrument essentiel et paradoxal pour penser les rapports entre la terre et le ciel. Historienne de l'art et philosophe de formation, Céline Flécheux est maître de conférences en esthétique à l'université Paris Diderot-Paris 7. Ses recherches portent notamment sur la question de l'horizon. Elle collabore par ailleurs régulièrement à des publications dans le champ de l'art contemporain (Robert Smithson, Ed Ruscha, François Morellet, Emmanuel Saulnier, Nancy Rubins, Abraham Poincheval, etc).

Abstract

"Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post-Katrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one manmade--the greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories. In Oil and Water, the authors explore the media-fed experiences, the visuals and narratives associated with both disasters. Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process of growth from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. Through a detailed analysis of the journalists' content, the authors tackle significant questions. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart"-- "Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post- Katrina.
