Abstract

Ce travail consiste à parcourir l'esthétique du sublime incarnée par Piranèse et son interprétation en architecture contemporaine. En effet, certains architectes, dénommés "déconstructivistes", adoptent un parti étonnant qui consiste à susciter des émotions dysphoriques dans le but de déstabiliser le spectateur face à leurs œuvres. Afin de comprendre les raisons d'une telle démarche, une première partie sera consacrée au contexte particulièrement angoissant et au retour à l'affectivité qui marquent le tournant du XXIe siècle. Ensuite, nous présenterons des exemples d' "espaces piranésiens" et tenterons d'expliquer, au regard des théories de Koolhaas et de Tschumi, les motivations d'une architecture de la violence. Enfin, cette attitude particulière, allant à l'encontre de la fonction d'usage et de protection qu'implique l'architecture, questionne les limites de cet art et sa capacité à provoquer des émotions noires, au même titre que les autres arts.

Abstract

The Hum of the World is an invitation to contemplate what would happen if we heard the world as attentively as we see it. Balancing big ideas with playful wit and lyrical prose, this imaginative volume identifies the role of sound in Western experience as the primary medium in which the presence and persistence of life acquire tangible form. The positive experience of aliveness is not merely in accord with sound, but inaccessible, even inconceivable, without it. Lawrence Kramer's poetic book roves freely over music, media, language, philosophy, and science from the ancient world to the present, along the way revealing how life is apprehended through sounds ranging from pandemonium to the faint background hum of the world. Easily moving from reflections on pivotal texts and music to the introduction of elemental concepts, this warm meditation on auditory culture uncovers the knowledge and pleasure made available when we recognize that the world is alive with sound.

Abstract

Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, sacramental theology has evolved as a discipline advancing comprehensive theories of sacraments and sacramentality as integral to the Christian faith while also studying the history and theology of the particular rites. Now, in the twenty-first century, the need for attention to the actual performance and specific social settings of sacramental worship has become well established. This makes the work of sacramental theology necessarily engaged with multiple, cross-disciplinary theories attentive to particular contexts, whether local, national, or global. Still, the divine human encounter at the heart of Christian symbol and ritual likewise beckons to philosophical–theological reflection. The essays in this volume begin with profound philosophical perspectives on the personal and communal sacramental experience, expanding from traditional cosmology to evolutionary and chaos theories of our planetary existence, continuing with shifts, especially among youth, to interreligious and non-institutional perspectives, consideration of change in popular notions of guilt, and social–ethical issues in relation to liturgical theology and practice, so as finally to return to fundamental theological reflection on human sacramentality and divine revelation.
