From the Renaissance to the present day, each generation of artists, architects, and writers has used the powerful images of ruins to project its own vision of time and human destiny. The metamorphosis of the ruin motif in art explains not only the separations but the continuities between the perception of past and present that characterize the different art movements. Drawing from all media of Western art including garden design, photography, and fine art, Makarius explores the rich and diverse iconography of ruins from da Vinci to Van Gogh, from Botticelli to Roy Lichtenstein.

Translated here into English for the first time is a monumental work of literary history and criticism comparable in scope and achievement to Eric Auerbach's Mimesis. Italian critic Francesco Orlando explores Western literature's obsession with outmoded and nonfunctional objects (ruins, obsolete machinery, broken things, trash, etc.). Combining the insights of psychoanalysis and literary-political history, Orlando traces this obsession to a turning point in history, at the end of eighteenth-century industrialization, when the functional becomes the dominant value of Western culture. Roaming through every genre and much of the history of Western literature, the author identifies distinct categories into which obsolete images can be classified and provides myriad examples. The function of literature, he concludes, is to remind us of what we have lost and what we are losing as we rush toward the future.

Incendies, cataclysmes, inondations: jamais le patrimoine n'a été immuable. Les tragédies subies par notre paysage architectural font notre histoire. Déroulant cette grande chronique, Matthieu Lours nous explique pourquoi et comment Notre-Dame sera reconstruite. L'image de l'église en ruines accompagne l'histoire des civilisations et des espaces marqués par le christianisme. Elle habite leur histoire et leur géographie. Elle inscrit dans la mémoire la trace des persécutions, des catastrophes, des abandons, encourus depuis vingt siècles. Elle se révèle une part essentielle d'une aventure qui prend les dimensions du monde. Des déserts des monastères d'Orient aux champs de bataille d'Occident, en passant par le Sahel, le Paraguay ou le Japon, elle montre comment le patrimoine chrétien a parfois rencontré des oppositions ou des indifférences. Mathieu Lours nous montre comment ces églises sont devenues des images culturelles incontournables. Il en dresse ici la fresque, confrontant les mots des littérateurs aux images des peintres, des photographes et des cinéastes. De ce monument d'émotions, il ressort que la ruine est au croisement du vestige et de la relique. Mais ce testament patrimonial est aussi ferment de renaissance spirituelle. Une leçon éblouissante pour penser la reconstruction de Notre-Dame de Paris. Un ouvrage magistral pour méditer combien il n'est de tradition que créatrice.

This unique interdisciplinary collection traces discourses about and representations of ruins from a richly contextualized perspective. In the introduction, Julia Hell and Andreas Schönle discuss how European modernity emerged partly through a confrontation with the ruins of the premodern past.
