De la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'aux années trente, la mystique est à la mode. Dans le monde catholique, où elle sort peu à peu d'une longue période de soupçon, mais, aussi, chez les médecins, les psychologues et les philosophes qui s'intéressent à ses manifestations. Qui est mystique ? est la première synthèse historique consacrée au sujet. Bernard Minvielle s'arrête sur les débats internes à chaque discipline, et confronte leurs points de vue, comme un exemple du dialogue, difficile mais fructueux, entre les études profanes et la pensée religieuse. Une question court tout au long du texte : qu'est-ce donc, finalement, que la mystique ? A notre époque où le mot "mystique" recouvre des réalités très hétéroclites, les réponses élaborées il y a maintenant un siècle, fournissent d'utiles éléments de discernement. Un livre incontournable pour comprendre l'histoire de la spiritualité au XXe siècle.

“In Negative Theology and Utopian Thought in Contemporary American Poetry, Jason Lagapa takes the next step in illuminating the Utopian function at work in contemporary American poetry. Steeped in the Marxist tradition of such critics as Ernst Bloch and Fredric Jameson, Lagapa carefully analyzes the work of four crucial poets—Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey, Charles Bernstein, and Alice Notley—in order to demonstrate how these poets’ innovative strategies mobilize the anticipatory force that Bloch names the ‘not yet.’ Lagapa makes convincing use of the tradition of negative theology, a tradition predicated on rhetorical premises that are surprisingly appropriate to both Utopian thinking and poetic experimentation. At a time when such thinking is at a premium, Lagapa reminds us that our poetry remains an abundant storehouse of visionary tropes.” —Norman Finkelstein, Professor of English, Jewish Studies, Xavier University, USA This book explores the utopian imagination in contemporary American poetry and the ways in which experimental poets formulate a utopian poetics by adopting the rhetorical principles of negative theology, which proposes using negative statements as a means of attesting to the superior, unrepresentable being of God. With individual chapters on works by such poets as Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey, Charles Bernstein, and Alice Notley, this book illustrates how a strategy of negation similarly proves optimal for depicting the subject of utopia in literary works. Negative Theology and Utopian Thought in Contemporary American Poetry: Determined Negations contends that negative statements in experimental poetry illustrate the potential for utopian social change, not by portraying an ideal world itself but by revealing the very challenge of representing utopia directly.

In Ontological Aspects of Early Jewish Anthropology , Tyson L. Putthoff explores early Jewish beliefs about how the human self reacts ontologically in God’s presence. Combining contemporary theory with sound exegesis, Putthoff demonstrates that early Jews widely considered the self to be intrinsically malleable, such that it mimics the ontological state of the space it inhabits. In divine space, they believed, the self therefore shares in the ontological state of God himself. The book is critical for students and scholars alike. In putting forth a new framework for conceptualising early Jewish anthropology, it challenges scholars to rethink not only what early Jews believed about the self but how we approach the subject in the first place.
