Cet ouvrage rassemble les travaux présentés par neuf historiens de la littérature, de l’art et des représentations réunis à l’Université de Bourgogne dans le cadre des rencontres de l’équipe de recherches sur l’emblème qu’accompagnèrent des séminaires sur « le chemin dans l’art » et « la spirale ». Les thèmes de la coquille et de la ville résument une inclination commune des auteurs pour certaine forme d’interrogation libre et animée dont les pages célèbres de Paul Valéry sur « le petit problème de la coquille » procuraient le modèle idéal.Des rêveries de la Renaissance sur ces deux formes symboliques étrangement solidaires jusqu’aux utopies architecturales contemporaines, on assiste à une exploration active du changement d’ordre et d’échelle qui fait alternativement monter et descendre du frêle coquillage à l’intimité de l’espace mental, à la maison, au jardin, à la ville. L’emblème est une forme littéraire et visuelle spécialement apte à jouer ce jeu de la miniaturisation, à nous conduire d’un monde à un autre en contrôlant le vertige. Les auteurs d’emblèmes, qui mêlent les constats lucides sur la condition humaine et les rêves de paix, nous aident à considérer la ville comme la demeure tutélaire des citoyens, le petit univers domestique comme un dur coquillage, et d’une façon générale le lieu protecteur comme une image de la conscience à la fois quiète et en éveil.

The present volume of essays, Emblemata Sacra. The Rhetoric and Hermeneutics of Illustrated Sacred Discourse, follows a conference that took place in January 2005 in Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, thanks to the close collaboration between the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Literature Department) and the Université Catholique de Louvain (the research group ‘Figures et formes de la spiritualité dans la littérature et les expressions artistiques’). The 38 essays have been organised in seven sections. The first section (‘Historical and methodological issues’) presents methodological bases for the study of emblematics and spiritual images, as well as the elements necessary for the Christian contextualisation of the corpus. The second section (‘Exegesis of the Scriptures and the Creation’), complementary to the first section, is devoted to exegetical processes developed in different contexts and seeks to emphasise the correspondence between the exegesis of Sacred Scripture and the exegesis of the Creation, which are the two central symbolisms in Christianity. The third section (‘The image in absentia’) focuses on the most critical aspect of the encounter between the Word and the Image, in the form of a paradoxical iconoclastic image, already mentioned in the first section. The fourth section (‘Rhetoric and poetics of the image’) exposes the mutual exchanges between the word of the images and the images of the word. The last three sections all deal with the uses of figures in determined contexts. Thus, the fifth section (‘The image performance’) explores staged, incarnated, and exhibited figures, while the sixth section (‘Circulation of images among different faiths’) gathers studies about different confessional contexts in which spiritual images are used to support and feed the polemics, and the seventh section (‘The efficient image’) opens up the chronology toward the 19th century and then to our own time.

The symbolic mode of thought and expression that produced the mixed art form of the emblem also informs and shapes much of the literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This study explores the relationship between the emblem proper and the literature of England and Germany during the period.The book proceeds from a definition of the emblem, based on a critical theory which has received little attention among English and Romance scholars, to a detailed analysis of the form and function of emblematic imagery in a variety of literary forms. The chapters following move into specific discussions of the structural affinities between emblems and poetry, drama, and fiction.The emblem-books are important as a cross-reference for the meaning of motifs in literature. They indicate what educated men knew about nature, history, and mythology and, furthermore, how they interpreted this knowledge. It is not only as a mode of thought but also as an art form that the emblem offers a valuable perspective on the purely verbal art of literature. Emblematic structure and imagery function as a formal, shaping principle in literature in all its genres and forms. Imaginatively conceived, carefully researched, and clearly presented, this book makes connections which will enrich the field of comparative studies.
