Abstract

As a master of his discipline, the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius has been read widely for centuries. This collection of essays by an international team of experts investigates his influence and reception in ideas, artistic forms, and building practices from antiquity to modern day. The stories of influence told in these pages suggest that it is the unbridgeable gulf between the Vitruvian text and surviving monuments that makes reading the Ten Books so endlessly compelling. The contributors to this volume offer their own, original readings, which are organized into the five sections: transmission; translation; reception; practice; and Vitruvian topics.

Abstract

L’œuvre de Marcel Proust a été traduite dans de nombreuses langues et ces traducteurs offrent toute une panoplie de variantes selon leurs perspectives. La critique internationale s’est également penchée sur la Recherche dès les années 1920 pour se déplier ensuite en une multitude d’approches. D’autre part tout un ensemble d’auteurs littéraires a trouvé dans l’écriture proustienne une source d’inspiration. Et les lecteurs partout dans le monde ont suivi le conseil de Proust de créer leur propre version du texte. De toutes ces expériences en trouvera ici un reflet et des échos provenant de tous les coins de la planète, de la Chine au Brésil, de l’Italie à la Turquie, des Pays-Bas à la Suisse, de la Suède à la Catalogne, de la Hongrie à l’Allemagne, du Québec à la Grèce.

Abstract

Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique is a key work in the understanding of romanticism, programme music, and the development of the orchestra, post-Beethoven. It is noted for having a title and a detailed programme, and for its connection with the composer's personal life and loves. This handbook situates the symphony within its time, and considers influences, literary as well as musical, that shaped its conception. Providing a close analysis of the symphony, its formal properties and melodic and textural elements (including harmony and counterpoint), it is a rich but accessible study which will appeal to music lovers, scholars, and students. It contains a translation of the programme, which sheds light on the form and character of each movement, and the unusual use of a melodic idée fixe representing a beloved woman. The unusual five-movement design permits a range of musical topics to be discussed and related to traditional symphonic elements: sonata form, a long Adagio, dance-type movements, and thematic development.

Abstract

"Describing Cinema is part theory, part rhetoric, and part pedagogy. It examines and demonstrates acts of describing scenes, shots, and sequences in films, as probably the most common and the most underestimated way viewers respond to movies. Practiced energetically and carefully, descriptions become exceptionally rich ways to demonstrate and celebrate the activities, varieties, and challenges of a central generative movement in the viewing and interpretation of films. My motto might be an inversion of one character's tongue-in-cheek remark in Jean-Luc Godard's First Name, Carmen (played by Godard himself), "badly seen, badly said," rephrased for this project as "badly said, badly seen." Here, that phrase becomes an indication how acts of describing films or parts of films can measure and instantiate complex ways of seeing that are partly about accuracy but also about the mobility of understanding and interpretation. At its best, describing films never simply denotes actions, images, sounds, or styles but rather produces the orchestration of one or more of those dimensions as an often creative and intersubjective movement between images, viewers, and a rhetorical language. Here, especially, writing about film becomes thinking about film. Part I provides a theoretical basis for this argument. Part II features sixteen short essays from landmarks of post-war cinema that demonstrate the energy and movement of precise descriptions"--

Abstract

Few composers embodied wider cultural interests than Wagner or had greater cultural consequences. This is the first collection to examine directly the rich array of intellectual, social and cultural contexts within which Wagner worked. Alongside fresh accounts of historical topics, from spa culture to racial theory, sentient bodies to stage technology, America to Spain, it casts an eye forward to contexts of Wagner's ongoing reception, from video gaming to sound recording, Israel to Friedrich Kittler, and twenty-first century warfare. The collection brings together an international cast of leading authorities and new voices. Its 42 short chapters offer a reader-friendly way into Wagner studies, with authoritative studies of central topics set alongside emerging new fields. It sheds new light on previously neglected individuals such as Minna Wagner, Theodor Herzl and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, and investigates/assesses/examines the global circulation of Wagner's works, his approach to money, and the controversies that continue to accompany him.

Abstract

Le " zapping " est à coup sûr l'un des maux de notre siècle. Tout veut aller trop vite. On ne se concentre plus sur rien. Bien qu'environnés d'images de plus en plus mobiles, souvent dénuées de sens, nous en avons perdu l'orientation, le don d'observation et le bonheur contemplatif. Essayons de retrouver ces richesses perdues devant quelques oeuvres qui auront, l'une après l'autre, hanté les coulisses du travail de l'auteur. Il les présente, dans leur diversité, selon l'ordre où il les a écrites. " Ecrites ", puisqu'il échoit à l'esthéticien de dire pour autrui ce qu'il a vu et ressenti, à sa propre échelle. C'est un réel bonheur que de s'arrêter avec Pierre Somville sur ces images... -- Quatrième de couverture
