Transcript Verlag Energy and Forces as Aesthetic Interventions –
Book SynopsisThis volume collects academic as well as artistic explorations highlighting historical and contemporary approaches to the "energetic" in its aesthetic and political potential. Energetic processes cross dance, performance art and installations. In contemporary dance and performance art, energetic processes are no longer mere conditions of form but appear as distinct aesthetic interventions. They transform the body, evoke specific states and push towards intensities.International contributors (i.e. Gerald Siegmund, Susan Leigh Foster, Lucia Ruprecht) unfold thorough investigations, elucidating maneuvers of mobilization, activation, initiation, regulation, navigation and containment of forces as well as different potentials and promises associated with the "energetic".

Transcript Verlag Sensing Collectives: Aesthetic and Political
Book SynopsisAre aesthetics and politics really two different things? The book takes a new look at how they intertwine, by turning from theory to practice. Case studies trace how sensory experiences are created and how collective interests are shaped. They investigate how aesthetics and politics are entangled, both in building and disrupting collective orders, in governance and innovation. This ranges from populist rallies and artistic activism over alternative lifestyles and consumer culture to corporate PR and governmental policies. Authors are academics and artists. The result is a new mapping of the intermingling and co-constitution of aesthetics and politics in engagements with collective orders.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Holocaust in the Central European Literatures &
Book SynopsisThis volume addresses a problem of high controversy: Relating the Holocaust to poetic and aesthetic phenomena has often been seen as a taboo, as only authentic testimonies, documents, or at least unliterary, prosaic approaches were considered appropriate for dealing with the topic. However, from the very beginning of Holocaust literature and culture, there were tendencies towards literarisation, poetisation, and ornamentalisation. Nowadays, aesthetic approaches -- also in provocative, taboo-breaking ways -- are more and more regarded as important instruments to evoke the attention required for keeping the cataclysm in the collective memory. The contributions of the volume using examples predominantly from Polish, Czech, and German Holocaust literature and culture focus on selected aspects of this complex of problems, such as: poetry of concentration camp detainees; lyrical poetry about the Holocaust; poetical tendencies in narrative literature and drama; ornamental prose about the Holocaust; devices and functions of aestheticisation in Holocaust literature and culture.

Book SynopsisThe moment is a recurring motif in European lyric poetry and can refer to such diverse concepts as the moment of falling in love, the ability to capture the right moment, or a shocking experience. The author examines the moment as a figure of thought and as a paradigm of modern consciousness by focusing on its presence in Friedrich Schlegel''s pre-romantic poetics of the fragment which develops Immanuel Kant''s aesthetics. Close readings of poems by the great European poets Giacomo Leopardi, Charles Baudelaire, and Rainer Maria Rilke extend the structural components of the moment as an aesthetic category. The poets'' aesthetic reflections are taken into consideration as well as eminent poems on the moment, such as L''infinito, Ã une passante or the Sonette an Orpheus.

V&R unipress GmbH Das Gleiche anders: Studie zur Formasthetik des
Book SynopsisThe book provides detailed analyses of twelfe novels written or published around 1700, among which all novels by the galant author Christian Friedrich Hunold, Schelmuffsky and Die Römische Octavia, the last big european courtly novel (6000 pages). All kinds of internal formal relations are being considered in order to give an account of the efficiency of the engaged structures as well as of the uncontrolled abundance of, for example, fictional characters or spatial indications. Influenced by the french courtly novels, instructed by the galant model or by the demands of a scandal-oriented public, the examined novels occasionally display sketches of formal solutions developped only much later under overtly modern conditions.

Sternberg Press Three Cases of Value Reflection: Ponge, Whitten,
Book SynopsisExaminations of Francis Ponge's texts on Jean Fautrier's “Hostage Paintings,” Jack Whitten's Memorial Paintings, and Banksy's auction stunt Love is in the Bin.This book contains three case studies on very different artists, analyzing their work through their respective historical contexts: the writer Francis Ponge (1899-1988) and his seminal text on Jean Fautrier's “Hostage Paintings” from 1943; visual artist Jack Whitten's (1939-2018) Memorial Paintings and Banksy's notorious auction stunt Love is in the Bin from 2018. Examining all three artistic propositions from a value-theoretical point of view, Graw finds Ponge's text on Fautrier to be “doubly materialist” insofar as it (seemingly) reveals its own material conditions while simultaneously grasping the specific materiality of Fautrier's paintings; suggests that the indications of value in Whitten's painting to be more indirect; and reveals Banksy's value reflections to have a very different generational thrust. Gaw shows that Ponge's text is full of value-reflexive insights but that Ponge himself is an ambivalent figure. She finds that the dedication of Whitten's paintings inscribes them in a system of exchange. And, finally, the deliberate aesthetic meagerness of Banksy's Love Is in the Bin points to an emptiness at the heart of value. Institut für Kunstkritik series

Peeters Publishers Crises. Mallarme Via Manet. (De The
Book SynopsisEn septembre 1876, a Londres, Stephane Mallarme publiait en langue anglaise une longue etude sur "Les impressionnistes et Edouard Manet". N'ayant pas ete recueilli dans les Oeuvres completes du poete, cette etude est largement meconnue des non-specialistes. Il s'agit pourtant d'un texte capital, tant dans l'histoire du discours de critique d'art que dans la trajectoire intellectuelle du poete. Pour la premiere fois, celui-ci explore une esthetique de crise, en la situant dans son champ d'effraction et en relation (pour le moins inattendue sous sa plume) avec les mutations socio-politiques de son temps. En ce sens et sous plus d'un egard, ce texte constitue la matrice du grand article qu'il consacrera, sous le titre "crise de vers", aux turbulences de tous ordres - prosodique, esthetique, linguistique, social - qui agiteront la scene poetique dans les annees 1880-1890. C'est sur ces deux articles, commentes integralement et donnes en version integrale, que porte la presente etude, articulant inseparablement a une exegese interne, une approche a caractere historique et sociologique. Lecture patiente, insistante, reinstallant leur contexte a l'interieur des textes examines. C'est a ce prix qu'il est permis d'approcher ce que deux textes majeurs ont cherche a faire voir dans la lueur orageuse des crises qui ont tour a tour eclate dans l'espace pictural et dans l'espace poetique. La double lecture dont se compose le present volume, on l'aura compris, n'entend pas seulement a l'ecoute d'un autre Mallarme, attentif au social et a ce qui s'y relie dans les phenomenes les plus tenus de l'ecriture ou de la representation, mais aussi apporter, au-dela du cas Mallarme et au-dela du cas Manet, une contribution a l'histoire sociale des formes esthetiques et des discours sur ces formes.

Peeters Publishers Formes Et Politique De La Bande Dessinee
Book SynopsisLe present essai part d'une hypothese toute simple: elle tente de demontrer que loin de s'exclure, l'analyse du recit et la lecture microscopique de certains details formels se renforcent et se soutiennent l'une l'autre. Il essaie d'en fournir la demonstration par le biais d'une serie d'etudes tres fournies portant aussi bien sur les "grands auteurs" du genre, comme Herge, Herriman, Vandersteen, Breccia, Pratt ou Swarte, que sur un ensemble de createurs qu'il est urgent de decouvrir comme Ricard Castells ou les jeunes auteurs europeens, representes surtout par le collectif belge des editions Freon. L'examen de certaines microscopies n'est pourtant jamais un but de soi. Les enjeux de l'operation sont clairement politiques, comme l'indiquent clairement les manifestations organisees dans le cadre d'un mouvement ici lu de tres pres: Autarcic Comix. La deuxieme these de ce livre est en effet que la dimension formelle d'une oeuvre n'est pas sans rapport avec sa pertinence politique. Cette facon de lire la bande dessinee lui rend la fonction critique tellement mise a mal par les facilites de toujours et rappelle que le genre, au meme titre que le jazz ou le cinema, se trouve au coeur de la vie et de l'art du XXe siecle.

Peeters Publishers Le Rire Inextinguible Des Dieux
Book SynopsisPlaton condamnait Homere pour avoir ose parler du "rire inextinguible des dieux". Au-dela de la reprobation morale de la raillerie, il devait bien avoir percu dans le rire une puissance d'exces capable d'ebranler la serenite du sage. Les modernes, philosophes (Descartes, Schopenhauer, Kant) et - davantage encore - psychanalystes (Freud, Lacan), ont traque dans l'esprit meme les sources de cette puissance transgressive. Mais le rire comme tel leur est reste une enigme. Pourtant, a suivre l'entrecroisement de leurs explications, il est possible d'approcher le mystere de cette voix "inarticulee et eclatante" qui s'exalte dans le rire et que Nietzsche, Baudelaire et, surtout, Bataille ont reconnu comme la part essentielle de ce que l'homme y joue de son etre meme.

Peeters Publishers Aesthetics as a Religious Factor in Eastern and
Book SynopsisThis volume contains selected papers of a conference in 2004 at Utrecht University on aesthetics as a religious factor in Eastern and Western Christianity. They discuss the role of aesthetics in the presentation and expression of Christian faith in Catholic and Orthodox tradition. During its history Christianity has produced many works of art: church architecture, iconography, painting, music and literary texts. And in Orthodoxy beauty has always been the main form of religious expression, more than verbal presentation of Christian teaching, which is embedded in the aesthetic context of liturgy. In Christian theology beauty has often been seen as a form of divine revelation, related to the mystery of incarnation. The relation between aesthetics and religious belief has acquired new relevance in our secularised world. Today the visible products of Catholic and Orthodox aesthetics are for many people the main means through which they come into contact with Christianity and many people without affinity to religion are attracted by the beauty of Christian art, inside and outside the church. In modern religious studies the experience of beauty is recognised as a factor in explaining religious feelings. The papers are divided in four sections: 1. Comparative aspects of Orthodox and Catholic aesthetics, 2. Religious aesthetics in Russian literary culture, 3. Applied aesthetics in church art, 4. Art-theoretical, ideological and religious-philosophical aspects.

Leuven University Press Minor Aesthetics: The Photographic Work of Marcel
Book SynopsisNew perspectives on Belgian Surrealism and the photographic practices of Marcel Mariën. Marcel Mariën (1920–1993) was a key figure of Belgian post-war Surrealism. He is widely acknowledged for his landmark work on Belgian Surrealism and his collaboration with future Situationists like Guy-Ernest Debord in his journal ‘Les Lèvres nues’. Nevertheless, Mariën’s texts, collages, photographs, film, and (art?) objects have to date remained understudied. This is the first volume devoted to Mariën's photographic work. Through a series of close readings, Mieke Bleyen connects the collage and photographic practices of Mariën with his wider oeuvre, particularly with his archival and editorial activities. By applying Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of the ‘minor’, this book proposes an alternative reading of Mariën’s anti-aesthetics and focuses on the affective range of his work. The figure of Mariën also serves as a case study that offers new perspectives on Belgian Surrealism's relation to mainstream Surrealism and the role of photography within Surrealism. This volume, moreover, raises a critique on ‘major’ art history's conception of time as linear progression and argues instead for twisted and extended temporalities in the case of Marcel Mariën. With previously unpublished images from Mariën's private archive. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewKU Leuven-;based scholar Mieke Bleyen succeeds in integrating several important achievements in 'Minor Aesthetics: The Photographic Work of Marcel Mariën'. Within the first study dedicated to the photographic practice of a prolific Belgian Surrealist (1920-;1993), she raises a number of pertinent questions, such as the importance of queer studies and feminist criticism for a better understanding of Surrealist visual arts.Additionally, as the title suggests, Bleyen develops a strong theoretical argument through the notion of minor literature, grounded in the writings of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, to unpack different pressing issues in the scholarship concerned with art history, including its problematic insistence on interpretation and linear progression. Bleyen combines rigorous archival research with a solid critical enquiry to put forward a rich and referential volume that can be engaged with as a valuable source of information and otherwise inaccessible visual material, as well as a welcome instance of a more inclusive approach to the work that is not easily fitted in the existing art historical categories.

Double 9 Books The Poetics Of Aristotle
Book SynopsisThe Poetics of Aristotle by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, is a seminal work in the realm of literary theory and aesthetics. Written around 335 BCE, this treatise offers profound insights into the nature and principles of poetry and drama. Aristotle explores the concept of mimesis, asserting that art imitates life. He delves into the cathartic effect of tragedy, suggesting that it purges emotions like pity and fear from the audience. He dissects the essential elements of a compelling narrative, emphasizing plot structure with a well-defined beginning, middle, and end. Aristotle's discussion of character is central to The Poetics. He introduces the notion of a tragic flaw, or hamartia, which leads to a character's downfall. His analysis of language, diction, rhythm, and melody underscores their significance in poetic works. The Poetics is particularly renowned for its examination of tragedy. Aristotle outlines key elements, including peripeteia (a reversal of fortune) and anagnorisis (a moment of recognition), which are fundamental to tragic storytelling. This work's enduring impact on literature, theater, and aesthetics is undeniable. It has served as a foundational text for generations of writers, playwrights, and scholars, providing invaluable guidance in the craft of storytelling and dramatic performance.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Mathematics, Poetry And Beauty
Book SynopsisWhat does mathematics have to do with poetry? Seemingly, nothing. Mathematics deals with abstractions while poetry with emotions. And yet, the two share something essential: Beauty. “Euclid alone has looked on beauty bare,” says the title of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.A winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2015, “Mathematics, Poetry and Beauty” tries to solve the secret of the similarity between the two domains. It tries to explain how a mathematical argument and a poem can move us in the same way. Mathematical and poetic techniques are compared, with the aim of showing how they evoke the same sense of beauty.The reader may find that, as Bertrand Russell said, “Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty hold and austere, like that of sculpture … sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.”Table of ContentsThe Magic of Poetry and of Mathematics; Condensation; Order; How Mathematicians and Poets Think; Poetic Image; Mathematical Image; Paradoxes and Oxymorons; Self Reference and Godel's Theorem;
