Orestes
Author: VoltairePublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1627933212
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Orestes was produced in 1750, an experiment which intensely interested the literary world and the public. In his Dedicatory Letters to the Duchess of Maine, Voltaire has the following passage on the Greek drama: "We should not, I acknowledge, endeavor to imitate what is weak and defective in the ancients: it is most probable that their faults were well known to their contemporaries. I am satisfied, Madam, that the wits of Athens condemned, as well as you, some of those repetitions, and some declamations with which Sophocles has loaded his Electra: they must have observed that he had not dived deep enough into the human heart. I will moreover fairly confess, that there are beauties peculiar not only to the Greek language, but to the climate, to manners and times, which it would be ridiculous to transplant hither. Therefore I have not copied exactly the Electra of Sophocles-much more I knew would be necessary; but I have taken, as well as I could, all the spirit and substance of it."

Book Description
Child of materialism and positivism, Courbet was without a doubt one of the most complex painters of the nineteenth century. Symbolising the rejection of traditions, Courbet did not hesitate to confront the public with the truth by liberating painting of conventional rules. He became from then on the leader of pictorial realism.

Author: At the Crossroads of Art and Religion

Category : Aesthetics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Since the 'turn to the subject' in modernity, aesthetic experiences have become crucial in the creation of meaning. This explains why art and religion are becoming increasingly intermingled in late modern Western culture. The search for meaning is no longer confined to traditional religious settings and it is especially in art that people are looking for moral and spiritual significance. Religion is being aestheticised while art is being spiritualised. This volume contains studies on the interface between art and religion. Scholars from art studies, theology, philosophy and psychology of religion address the following questions: What psychological and religious functions does art fulfil? What are the similarities and differences between aesthetic and religious experiences? How does the aestheticising of religion affect theological thinking? How does the spiritualising of art affect artistic practices and theory? Case studies are taken from literature, visual art, film and opera, both from 'high' and popular culture. Among others, there are chapters on J.M. Coetzee's novel Waiting for the Barbarians, Richard Wagner's operas, the Harry Potter books and the concept of beauty from a theological perspective. The contributors all highlight the crucial role of human imaginative capabilities and the capacity of art to open up wider horizons of meaning.

Book Description
S'adressant à ceux qui souhaitent s'initier et s'entraîner, de manière raisonnée, à la pratique de la traduction, cet ouvrage offre une méthode d'analyse originale et efficace. La pratique observée est sans cesse présente sous forme d'exemples abondants et variés, les principes dégagés sont illustrés par des exercices. La démarche utilise les différents apports des sciences du langage en les subordonnant à la spécificité de l'acte de traduire. Les termes techniques sont chaque fois clairement définis. L'ordre suivi va du signe à l'énoncé, sans jamais perdre de vue les éléments constituants d'un ensemble qui est le texte. L'ouvrage représente un ensemble cohérent disposé avec ordre mais dont les éléments modulaires sont utilisables séparément, un système de renvois multiples permettant de mettre en perspective les chapitres.
