Abstract

Qu’est-ce qui caractérise le mieux le Japon aux yeux d’un Occidental ? Ses geishas, ses pagodes, ses ponts voûtés dans des jardins moussus aux couleurs d’automne, ses samouraïs, ses mangas, ses sushis, les romans de Murakami ? De tous les pays asiatiques le Japon est celui qui a le plus influencé l’Occident. Mais que connaît-on vraiment de sa culture, de ses croyances, de ses icônes ?Le Point Références vous invite à découvrir cet archipel qui n’a cessé de surprendre. Comment un pays encore féodal a-t-il réussi, en moins de trente ans, à se moderniser suffisamment pour prétendre attaquer la Chine, la pesante puissance voisine et, dans la foulée, l’Empire russe ? Pourquoi plonge-t-il alors dans une dictature mystique centrée sur la guerre de l’empereur ? Pourquoi est-ce la femme de cour qui fait du japonais une langue littéraire ? Autant d’énigmes que la lecture des textes considérés comme des classiques par les Japonais aide, peut-être, à résoudre.De dame Shônagon à Yasushi Inoue, des palais Heian et de Kyoto aux buildings de Tokyo, ce hors-série vous entraîne dans une balade entre roman, haïku spectacle nô et philosophie, où les dramaturges écrivent pour des marionnettes, les moines composent des poèmes, les philosophes se dopent à la physique quantique et les femmes, toujours les femmes, sont les maîtresses de l’érotisme.

Abstract

After 'The Tale of Genji' (c.1000), the greatest work of classical Japanese literature is the historical narrative 'The Tale of the Heike' (13th-14th centuries). In addition to opening up fresh perspectives on the Heike narratives, this study draws attention to a range of problems centred on the interrelationship between narrative, ritual space, and Japan's changing views of China as they bear on depictions of the emperor's authority, warriors, and marginal population going all the way back to the Nara period.

Abstract

Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics is an essential, all-access guide to the core texts of East Asian civilization and culture. Essays address frequently read, foundational texts in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, as well as early modern fictional classics and nonfiction works of the seventeenth century. Building strong links between these writings and the critical traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, this volume shows the vital role of the classics in the shaping of Asian history and in the development of the humanities at large.Wm. Theodore de Bary focuses on texts that have survived for centuries, if not millennia, through avid questioning and contestation. Recognized as perennial reflections on life and society, these works represent diverse historical periods and cultures and include the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Xunxi, the Lotus Sutra, Tang poetry, the Pillow Book, The Tale of Genji, and the writings of Chikamatsu and Kaibara Ekken. Contributors explain the core and most commonly understood aspects of these works and how they operate within their traditions. They trace their reach and reinvention throughout history and their ongoing relevance in modern life. With fresh interpretations of familiar readings, these essays inspire renewed appreciation and examination. In the case of some classics open to multiple interpretations, de Bary chooses two complementary essays from different contributors. Expanding on debates concerning the challenges of teaching classics in the twenty-first century, several pieces speak to the value of Asia in the core curriculum. Indispensable for early scholarship on Asia and the evolution of global civilization, Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics helps one master the major texts of human thought.

Abstract

Perhaps no one is more qualified to write about Japanese culture than Donald Keene, considered the leading interpreter of that nation's literature to the Western world. The author, editor, or translator of nearly three dozen books of criticism and works of literature, Keene now offers an enjoyable and beautifully written introduction to traditional Japanese culture for the general reader.The book acquaints the reader with Japanese aesthetics, poetry, fiction, and theater, and offers Keene's appreciations of these topics. Based on lectures given at the New York Public Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the University of California, Los Angeles, the essays -though written by a renowned scholar- presuppose no knowledge of Japanese culture. Keene's deep learning, in fact, enables him to construct an overview as delightful to read as it is informative.His insights often illuminate aspects of traditional Japanese culture that endure today. One of these is the appreciation of "perishability." this appreciation os seen in countless little bits of Japanese life: in temples made of wood instead of durable materials; in the preference for objects -such as pottery- that are worn, broken, or used rather than new; and in the national love of the delicate cherry blossom, which normally falls after a brief three days of flowering. Keene quotes the fourteenth-century Buddhist monk Kenko, who wrote that "the most precious thing about life is its uncertainty."Throughout the volume, Keene demonstrates that the rich artistic and social traditions of Japan can indeed be understood by readers from our culture. This book will enlighten anyone interested in Japanese literature and culture.

Abstract

Le colloque « Hiéroglossie II : Les textes fondateurs » qui s’est tenu au Collège de France les 8 et 9 juin 2016 se proposait de poursuivre l’examen du phénomène de hiérarchisation des langues conçue comme l’un des facteurs dynamiques de leur histoire, puisque toute hiérarchisation a pour destin d’être remise en question. L’établissement d’un texte sacré est sans doute un élément primordial dans la constitution d’un réseau hiéroglossique, mais il existe des textes qui, sans s’être vu conférer la dignité de sacrés, peuvent cependant être considérés comme le point de départ d’une tradition langagière répétant, dans un autre ordre, un processus analogue à ce qui s’est passé dans le domaine religieux avant de s’étendre à l’ensemble d’une culture.Ici encore, la plus grande liberté a été laissée aux participants pour proposer leur propre vision d’un texte fondateur. Si certains choix s’admettent naturellement, d’autres sont plus inattendus, mais toutes les contributions montrent l’importance décisive d’un texte référentiel comme médiation d’un destin langagier. Le Kojiki est le garant a posteriori de l’indépendance de la langue japonaise, le Beowulf anglo-saxon est remis à l’honneur grâce au succès du Seigneur des anneaux, qui s’est lui-même inspiré du Kalevala finnois, jusque dans l’élaboration de langues imaginaires.Chacune des treize contributions propose ainsi une manière d’aborder les grands et moins grands textes dans une perspective dynamique d'ouverture sur l’histoire des langues.
