Le fantome comme cle de lecture de l’image et du recit.
English summary: Ghosts are everywhere: in literature, the cinema, photography, painting, philosophy, science, technology, and even in our psychic lives. But what, exactly, is a ghost?The essay Theorie des fantomes attempts to answer this question. Ghosts are certainly figures that arouse fear, but exploring the back-from-the-grave forms leads us to think about their imagery and artistic forms. Viewing ghosts as a mode of defining image requires returning to the imagery’s cultural sources (etymologies, artistic forms, aesthetic and philosophical questions).What is a ghost? The answer, from Pliny to Derrida, Plato to Spinoza, Poussin to Hippolyte Bayard, Homer to Shakespeare, Hitchcock to M. Night Shyamalan, Botticelli to Mankiewicz, Kubrick to Benjamin, Aristotle to Boccaccio, Dante to Oliveira, Barthes to Alain Cavalier, Mesmer to Billy Wilder, and from Proust to General Instin, provides an aesthetic outline of the ghostly and their imagery by drawing from numerous studies of literary, artistic and cinematographic works.This obsession with death which permeates countless works and thoughts gives readers an opportunity to envisage the fundamental aesthetic act embodies by ghosts. French description: Les fantomes sont partout : dans la litterature comme dans le cinema, la photographie, la peinture, la philosophie, les sciences, la technologie et meme dans notre vie psychique. Mais qu’est-ce qu’un fantome ?L’essai Theorie des fantomes tente d’offrir une reponse a cette question. Le fantome est certes une figure de la peur, mais se pencher sur les formes de la revenance, c’est apprendre a penser les images et les formes artistiques. Envisager le fantome comme mode de definition de l’image, c’est revenir aux sources culturelles de l’image (etymologies, formes artistiques, questions esthetiques et philosophiques).Qu’est-ce qu’un fantome ? Reponse qui, de Pline a Derrida, de Platon a Spinoza, de Poussin a Hippolyte Bayard, de Homere a Shakespeare, de Hitchcock a M. Night Shyamalan, de Botticelli a Mankiewicz, de Kubrick a Benjamin, d’Aristote a Boccace, de Dante a Oliveira, de Barthes a Alain Cavalier, de Mesmer a Billy Wilder, de Proust au General Instin, donne les contours esthetiques du fantomatique et des images en s’appuyant sur de nombreuses analyses d’oeuvres litteraires, artistiques et cinematographiques.Cette hantise de la mort qui traverse les oeuvres et la pensee nous permet d’envisager un acte esthetique fondamental, le fantome.
