C'est le paradoxe du monument moderne que ce livre se propose d'explorer. À mesure que l'enjeu de l'inscription mémorielle devient idéologiquement plus suspect, le monument se métamorphose, et l'art anglais et américain vient interroger sans relâche, par-delà le rapport à l'Histoire, les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux de la commémoration. Le marbre grec est-il blanc, le toponyme indien laisse-t-il une trace ? Construire ou décrire un monument, est-ce conforter son identtié ou subtiliser la mémoire de l'autre ? Peu à peu, l'art et la littérature revisitent, brisent et transfigurent le monumental. Comment définir le monument contemporain, autrement qu'à travers ses échelles variables, du jardin de Finley au labyrinthe d'acier de Richard Serra, installations éphémères et solides à la fois ? D'où cette force proprement poétique du monument, que cette "promenade" permet d'approcher et réévaluer.

"This volume presents cultural studies approaches to different modes of memoria (the original medieval way of commemoration), taking into account specific confessional contexts. It mainly focuses on the consequences of political, religious and social reforms in the period from 1200 to 1800. Scholars from multiple subject areas in the field of cultural studies evaluate if, and to what extent, reform processes and political or social change have influenced different practices of memoria. Since customs of commemoration of the dead (and the living) serve as a means of self-reassurance for a society, they allow significant insights into what the respective societies were grounded upon. This volume delivers the first discipline-specific and methodologically diverse approach to the consequences of different reforms on memoria. 00In this way this overview creates a "history of memoria" throughout the centuries."--Back cover.
