Abstract

Ces drôles de planches naturalistes cachent une anomalie : un intrus s'est glissé dans la série d'objets, de plantes, de personnages et cherche à se faire passer pour ce qu'il n'est pas ! Bastien Contraire joue ici de l'analogie, principalement des formes et des proportions.  Mais aussi parfois des fonctions ou des compétences (homme qui marche/ véhicules à moteurs) : ce qui « casse le jeu » d'un côté, apporte la farce, de l'autre. À partir de 3 ans

Abstract

Ce livre explore le champ constitué par l'«image double» sur une période qui va de l'Antiquité à nos jours. L'expression désigne des catégories variées : image composite, image cachée, image naturelle, image potentielle, anamorphose, etc. À travers une centaine d'exemples, le livre envisage la manière dont les artistes ont exploité, selon les situations historiques et culturelles, les possibilités formelles et sémantiques des images doubles.

Abstract

"Sight and the Ancient Senses is the first thorough introduction to the conceptualization of sight in the history, visual culture, literature and philosophy of classical antiquity. Examining how Greeks and Romans interpreted what they saw, the collection also considers sight in relation to the other senses. This volume brings together a number of interdisciplinary perspectives to deliver a broad and balanced coverage of this subject. Contributors explore the cultural, social and intellectual backdrops that gave rise to ancient theories of seeing, from Archaic Greece through to the advent of Christianity in late antiquity. This series of specially commissioned thematic chapters demonstrate how theories about sight informed Graeco-Roman philosophy, science, poetry rhetoric and art. The collection also reaches beyond its Graeco-Roman visual framework, showcasing how ancient ideas have influenced the longue durée of western sensory thinking. Richly illustrated throughout, including a section of color plates, Sight and the Ancient Senses is a wide-ranging introduction to ancient theories of seeing which will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of classical antiquity"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

This volume takes a contemporary and novel look at how people see the world around them. We generally believe we see our surroundings and everything in it with complete accuracy. However, as the contributions to this volume argue, this assumption is wrong: people's view of their world is cloudy at best. Social Psychology of Visual Perception is a thorough examination of the nature and determinants of visual perception, which integrates work on social psychology and vision. It is the first broad-based volume to integrate specific sub-areas into the study of vision, including

Abstract

"De quand date la naissance de l'observateur moderne ? Pour Jonathan Crary, c’est au tournant du XIXe siècle que s’opère, non pas une mutation de l’imagerie, mais une transformation de la subjectivité, lorsque la figure de l’observateur investit le champ esthétique, la médecine et la philosophie. Bien que vieille de deux siècles, cette discrète révolution dans la culture visuelle occidentale est encore la nôtre. Elle accompagne l’essor de la société disciplinaire tout en préparant l’avènement de la société du spectacle – ainsi que de leurs prolongements actuels"

Abstract

The meaning of tearing and splitting as a life-, love- and wisdom-generating event (for example, the tearing of the temple curtain) is profoundly rooted in the visual and literary 'bodies' of ancient and Christian thought. The primordial cosmogonic split is always sudden, is always sharp (like a knife), appears as a flash (sudden and all encompassing) and is experienced through the whole bodily sensorium (in shivering, bliss, sigh, wind, breath). The split is the epiphany of radical change, revolution and the transition beyond. The Greek deity Kairos embodies this mystery. The reach of Kairos can be detected in the theory of rhetoric (Sophists vs. Aristotle (385-322 BC)), in humanistic politics, in postmodern theology and in contemporary time-management. Iconographical studies have treated Kairos's 'Nachleben' in Byzantine and Latin visual traditions where the god is conflated with Fortuna and Occasio. This essay addresses the impact of Kairos and its iconographic 'Nachleben' from a literary and historical perspective, and further considers Kairos as a new art historical paradigm. Indeed, Kairos can offer us alternative hermeneutics to reconceive the image as chronotopos, as epiphany and as intercession.
