Spiritualite et esthetique durant le premier age moderne
edited by R. Dekoninck, A. Guiderdoni and E. Granjon
English summary: These collected essays bring together the spiritual and the esthetic during the Early Modern period. Often presented as two opposing fields, the authors demonstrate through comparative studies of artistic and spiritual literature how both borrowed from and contributed to each other. French description: Le present volume explore les echanges entre esthetique et spiritualite au premier yge moderne. Alors qu’on a eu tendance … etudier ces deux champs independamment ou … les penser dans leur succession chronologique (l’ere de l’image/l’ere de l’art), comme dans leur opposition structurelle et ideologique (discours laic/discours religieux), il s’agit ici d’envisager leur dialogue et leur confrontation … travers differents lieux, parmi lesquels la litterature artistique, la litterature spirituelle, la litterature ekphrastique, l’emblematique, la poetique, la rhetorique… En portant l’attention sur le role de l’inspiration, de la contemplation, de l’imitation, du prodige, du langage, de l’imagination, de l’entendement…, sont mises ainsi en evidence les modalites selon lesquelles les arts et la litterature ont pu s’approprier certains elements du discours theologique relatif … la representation, et comment, en retour, la litterature spirituelle a pu reconnaOEtre et exploiter sa dimension esthetique en empruntant … la theorie litteraire et artistique.
