This book gives an overview of the recent works of Hyun-Sook Song (b. 1952, South Korea, lives and works in Hamburg). In her work she gives voice to the nostalgic memories of her beloved motherland; she developed both a very distinctive style and a technique which blends elements from the West and the East. Song sees painting as a performative happening in which the movement of the brush is the essence of her work as well as the ultimate proof of her inner feelings.

Gabriel Fauré’s mélodies offer an inexhaustible variety of style and expression that have made them the foundation of the French art song repertoire. During the second half of his long career, Fauré composed all but a handful of his songs within six carefully integrated cycles. Fauré moved systematically through his poetic contemporaries, exhausting Baudelaire’s Les fleurs du mal before immersing himself in the Parnassian poets. He would set nine poems by Armand Silvestre in swift succession (1878-84), seventeen by Paul Verlaine (1887-94), and eighteen by Charles Van Lerberghe (1906-14). As an artist deeply engaged with some of the most important cultural issues of the period, Fauré reimagined his musical idiom with each new poet and school, and his song cycles show the same sensitivity to the poetic material. Far more than Debussy, Ravel, or Poulenc, he crafted his song cycles as integrated works, reordering poems freely and using narratives, key schemes, and even leitmotifs to unify the individual songs. The Fauré Song Cycles explores the peculiar vision behind each synthesis of music and verse, revealing the astonishing imagination and insight of Fauré’s musical readings. This book offers not only close readings of Fauré’s musical works but an interdisciplinary study of how he responded to the changing schools and aesthetic currents of French poetry.

Certains commentateurs de Bergson ont estimé que sa pensée était d'emblée spiritualiste et teintée de religiosité. On peut comprendre ainsi le beau texte de Louis Lavelle, " La pensée religieuse d'Henri Bergson " , ou l'interprétation que Péguy fait de cette philosophie rationaliste du temps. Cette compréhension de Bergson peut d'ailleurs s'appuyer sur un texte du philosophe lui-même, à savoir Principes de métaphysique et de psychologie où Bergson explique que sa pensée vise à constituer une "science relative de l'absolu".Le présent volume tente d'examiner dans quelle mesure il est possible de soutenir, l'instar d'Henri Gouhier, que l'oeuvre d'observation intérieure de Bergson a posé les bases du spiritualisme moderne.

Bergson was a pre-eminent European philosopher of the early twentieth century and his work covers all major branches of philosophy. This volume of essays is the first collection in twenty years in English to address the whole of Bergson's philosophy, including his metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of life, aesthetics, ethics, social and political thought, and religion. The essays explore Bergson's influence on a number of different fields, and also extend his thought to pressing issues of our time, including philosophy as a way of life, inclusion and exclusion in politics, ecology, the philosophy of race and discrimination, and religion and its enduring appeal. The volume will be valuable for all who are interested in this important thinker and his continuing relevance.
