Abstract

Considéré longtemps comme une grave faute, l'anachronisme a été réévalué pour en souligner les dimensions heuristiques. Acte délibéré ou involontaire, l’anachronisme peut ouvrir la voie aussi bien à une relecture du passé qu’à une réinterprétation du présent, nous permettant de repenser la « marche des temps » (Siegfried Kracauer) et de se pencher autrement sur les rapports que nous établissons à la fois avec le présent d’où écrit l’auteur, avec le passé que cet auteur réinvestit et avec le présent d’où nous lisons ses textes. L’objet de cet ouvrage est une revalorisation de l'anachronisme dont nous montrons aussi bien le potentiel poïétique que la dimension heuristique et interprétative de l’anachronisme en littérature. Cervantès, Camões, Chateaubriand, Gautier, Flaubert, Rimbaud Laforgue, Queneau, Perrault, Peter Handke, Thiéfaine, Pasolini, Jacques Demy, Kennely, Thomas Ostermeier, témoignent ici du potentiel poétique des « anachronismes créateurs ».

Abstract

So vielfältig und zahlreich zeitliche Inkonsistenzen in Ovids "Metamorphosen" sind, so unscharf und divers ist auch das Bild, das sich in bisherigen Deutungen zu diesen oft Anachronismen genannten Textphänomenen zeigt. In dieser Arbeit wird anhand fiktions- und sprachtheoretischer Überlegungen eine systematische Neubewertung unternommen, die der ambitionierten Ästhetik des Gedichts sowohl theoretisch als auch textanalytisch Rechnung trägt. The temporal inconsistencies in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" are just as multifaceted and numerous as the image that has revealed itself in previous interpretations of these text phenomena - often referred to as "anachronisms" - is blurry and diverse. This volume looks at theories of fiction and language to carry out a systematic reevaluation of Ovid's poem that does justice to its ambitious aesthetics both in terms of theory and text analysis.

Abstract

*On Anachronism* joins together Shakespeare and Proust as the great writers of love to show that love is always anachronistic, and never more so when it is homosexual. Drawing on Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, Derrida, Blanchot and Levinas and Deleuze, difficult but essential theorists of the subject of 'being and time' and 'time and the other' the book examines why speculation on time has become so crucial within modernity. Through the related term 'anachorism', it considers how discussion of time always turns into discussion of space, and how this, too, can never be quite defined. It speculate

Abstract

In this work, François Soyer examines the nature of medieval anti-Jewish sentiment and violence. Analysing developments in Europe between 1100 and 1500, he points to the tensions in medieval anti-Jewish thought amongst thinkers who hoped to convert Jews and blamed Talmudic scholarship for their obduracy and yet who also, conversely, often essentialized Judaism to the point that it transformed into the functional equivalent of the modern concept of race. He argues that we should not consider antisemitism as a monolithic concept but accept the existence of independent, historical meanings and thus of antisemitisms (plural), including 'medieval antisemitism' as distinct from anti-Judaism.

Abstract

Melancholy is not only about sadness, despair, and loss. As Renaissance artists and philosophers acknowledged long ago, it can engender a certain kind of creativity born from a deep awareness of the mutability of life and the inevitable cycle of birth and death. Drawing on psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the intellectual history of the history of art, The Melancholy Art explores the unique connections between melancholy and the art historian's craft. Though the objects art historians study are materially present in our world, the worlds from which they come are forever lost to time. In this eloquent and inspiring book, Michael Ann Holly traces how this disjunction courses through the history of art and shows how it can give rise to melancholic sentiments in historians who write about art. She confronts pivotal and vexing questions in her discipline: Why do art historians write in the first place? What kinds of psychic exchanges occur between art objects and those who write about them? What institutional and personal needs does art history serve? What is lost in historical writing about art? The Melancholy Art looks at how melancholy suffuses the work of some of the twentieth century's most powerful and poetic writers on the history of art, including Alois Riegl, Franz Wickhoff, Adrian Stokes, Michael Baxandall, Meyer Schapiro, and Jacques Derrida. A disarmingly personal meditation by one of our most distinguished art historians, this book explains why to write about art is to share in a kind of intertwined pleasure and loss that is the very essence of melancholy.

Abstract

A firm grasp of Islamic fundamentalism has often eluded Western political observers, many of whom view it in relation to social and economic upheaval or explain it away as an irrational reaction to modernity. Here Roxanne Euben makes new sense of this belief system by revealing it as a critique of and rebuttal to rationalist discourse and post-Enlightenment political theories. Euben draws on political, postmodernist, and critical theory, as well as Middle Eastern studies, Islamic thought, comparative politics, and anthropology, to situate Islamic fundamentalist thought within a transcultural theoretical context. In so doing, she illuminates an unexplored dimension of the Islamist movement and holds a mirror up to anxieties within contemporary Western political thought about the nature and limits of modern rationalism--anxieties common to Christian fundamentalists, postmodernists, conservatives, and communitarians. A comparison between Islamic fundamentalism and various Western critiques of rationalism yields formerly uncharted connections between Western and Islamic political thought, allowing the author to reclaim an understanding of political theory as inherently comparative. Her arguments bear on broad questions about the methods Westerners employ to understand movements and ideas that presuppose nonrational, transcendent truths. Euben finds that first, political theory can play a crucial role in understanding concrete political phenomena often considered beyond its jurisdiction; second, the study of such phenomena tests the scope of Western rationalist categories; and finally, that Western political theory can be enriched by exploring non-Western perspectives on fundamental debates about coexistence.

Abstract

This is a systematic study of the conceptual framework used by critics and scholars in their discussions of influence in art and literature. Göran Hermerén explores the key questions raised in scholarly debate on the topic: What is meant by "influence"? What methods can be used to settle disagreements about influence? What reasons could be used to support or reject statements about artistic and literary influence? The book is based on descriptive analyses in which the author has tried to make explicit what is said or implied in a number of "ations from scholarly writings on art and literature. Throughout, the emphasis is on clarifying the assumptions on which the use of the concept of influence is based, thus describing the limitations and merits of this kind of comparative research for critics and scholars.Originally published in 1975.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
