Abstract

La thèse de ce livre est fascinante : Zola est un écrivain du XXIe siècle. Il est actuel pour ses idées, sur la science et la machine, le travail et le capitalisme, la question sociale, la politique, le socialisme, l'utopie. Zola est un auteur de notre époque : le peuple peut encore facilement se reconnaître en lui. Il sait libérer notre imaginaire. C'est un intellectuel très humain, parlant à l'homme, parmis la foule. Sa parole résonne encore comme un coup de tonnerre. Fort engagé, il est dans la bataille de la vie, contre toute dérive du pouvoir. Lire Zola aujourd'hui, c'est le considérer comme l'un des nôtres.

Abstract

From the first stirrings of modernism to contemporary poetics, the modernist aesthetic project could be described as a form of phenomenological reduction that attempts to return to the invisible and unsayable foundations of human perception and expression, prior to objective points of view and scientific notions. It is this aspect of modernism that this book brings to the fore. The essays presented here bring into focus the contemporary face of ongoing debates about phenomenology and modernism. The contributors forcefully underline the intertwining of modernism and phenomenology and the extent to which the latter offers a clue to the former.The book presents the viewpoints of a range of internationally distinguished critics and scholars, with diverse but closely related essays covering a wide range of fields, including literature, architecture, philosophy and musicology. The collection addresses critical questions regarding the relationship between phenomenology and modernism, with reference to thinkers such as Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Michel Henry and Paul Ricoeur. By examining the contemporary philosophical debates, this cross-disciplinary body of research reveals the pervasive and far-reaching influence of phenomenology, which emerges as a heuristic method to articulate modernist aesthetic concerns

Abstract

"In A Modernist Cinema, edited by Scott W. Klein and Michael Valdez Moses, sixteen distinguished scholars in the field of the New Modernist Studies explore the interrelationships among modernism, cinema, and modernity. Focusing on several culturally influential films from Europe, America, and Asia produced between 1914 and 1941, this collection of essays contends that cinema was always a modernist enterprise. Examining the dialectical relationship between a modernist cinema and modernity itself, these essays reveal how the movies represented and altered our notions and practices of modern life, as well as how the so-called crises of modernity shaped the evolution of filmmaking. Attending to the technical achievements and formal qualities of the works of several prominent directors-Giovanni Pastrone, D. W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, F. W. Murnau, Carl Theodore Dreyer, Dziga Vertov, Luis Buñuel, Yasujiro Ozu, John Ford, Jean Renoir, Charlie Chaplin, Leni Riefenstahl, and Orson Welles-these essays investigate several interrelated topics: how a modernist cinema represented and intervened in the political and social struggles of the era; the ambivalent relationship between cinema and the other modernist arts; the controversial interconnection between modern technology and the new art; the significance of representing the mobile human body in a new medium; the gendered history of modernity; and the transformative effects of cinema on modern conceptions of temporality, spatial relations, and political geography. Contributors: Richard Begam, Maurizia Bascagli, Enda Duffy, Laura Frost, Andrzej Gasiorek, Scott W. Klein, Douglas Mao, Laura Marcus, Jesse Matz, Tyrus Miller, Michael Valdez Moses, Michael North, Elizabeth Otto, Carrie J. Preston, Lisa Siraganian, Michael Wood"--

Abstract

Le début du XXe siècle marque l'entrée dans une nouvelle ère : celle de la technique. On se prend à rêver d'un homme nouveau, "standardisé", performant au travail, qu'il faut créer de toutes pièces. Dans les années 1920 et 1930, le montage participe de cette mission, dans les usines comme dans les cinémas, mais aussi dans les revues illustrées et la vie quotidienne. Le montage est conçu comme une alphabétisation visuelle, une technique applicable à la psychologie et aux médias, dont les camps politiques opposés se réclament.0Taylorisme et fordisme, réflexologie, science du travail et psychotechnique sont autant de stratégies au service d'une nouvelle construction de l'homme et de la société, que ce soit aux Etats-Unis, en Europe ou dans la Russie soviétique. Oscillant entre utopie et dystopie, la vie s'élabore au sein d'un monde technique. L'homme-montage, dont l'histoire est ici retracée, a marqué le XXe siècle de façon décisive.00
