Summary:
La guerre futuriste est une mobilisation totale contre les valeurs politiques, morales et culturelles du passé; elle permet à Marinetti de rompre les ponts avec la décadence, d'être de plain-pied dans la réalité qui n'est plus la conséquence du passé mais son contraire. Il repère un ennemi immédiat - les empires centraux "moribonds" - et un objectif facile - l'irrédentisme ; mais surtout il identifie, dans la technique au service du mythe, l'avènement traumatique de la modernité. [...] Marinetti n'est décidément pas facile à cerner. Il est de "droite" ou plutôt d'"extrême droite", lorsqu'il en appelle au droit du plus fort, au reniement de la solidarité de classe, à la loi martiale contre les pacifistes et les traîtres, à la destruction de l'ennemi et pas seulement à sa défaite. Il est de "gauche ", ou plutôt d'"extrême gauche" parce qu'à ses yeux la guerre doit mener à la dissolution de tout ordre préétabli, y compris celui des non-belligérants comme l'Eglise - d'où sa fronde pendant la période fasciste contre les compromis et la corruption du régime. Maurizio Serra, diplomate et historien italien, né à Londres en 1955 ; il dirige actuellement l'Institut diplomatique du ministère des Affaires étrangères italien. Spécialiste d'histoire des idées au XXe siècle, professeur de relations internationales à l'université LUISS de Rome, il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages dont Le Passager du siècle.

Summary:
Originally published in Swedish in 1992, this book examines the enigmatic relation of melancholia to an early kind of cannibalism, which psychoanalysis, in particular, stressed. It contains reading of, amongst others, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Sigmund Freud, G. W. F. Hegel, and the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. The authors also quote Goethe and Rabelais, for whom food is a cosmic principle, the soil of fertility, on which all creation is based. In a transferred sense, food also plays that same role for the melancholiac he who questions the normal order of things, who creates an other unknown food, with a variety of meanings. The authors trace the desire for this other food through the ages, and scrutinize its relationship to both primitive sacrificial rites as well as contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and linguistic theory.

Summary:
Between the disciplines of art history and the history of science lies a growing field of inquiry into what science and art share as both image-making and knowledge-producing activities. The contributors of Picturing Science, Producing Art occupy this intermediate zone to analyze both scientific and aesthetic representations, utilizing disciplinary perspectives that range from art history to sociology, history and philosophy of science to gender studies, cultural history to the philosophy of mind. Organized in five sites--Styles, The Body, Seeing Wonders, Objectivity/Subjectivity, and Cultures of Vision--their topics extend from Cinquecento theories of female reproduction to the technologies of cloning, from medieval depictions of the stigmata to electrical metaphors for sex, from astronomical drawings to radioencephalography, from Phoenician griffons carved in ivory to factories cast in concrete. The internationally renowned contributors go beyond both science wars and culture wars by exploring substantive links between systems of visual representation and knowledge in science and art. Contributors include Svetlana Alpers, Jonathan Crary, Arnold Davidson, Carlo Ginzburg, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and Simon Schaffer.

Summary:
In this classic meditation on the problem of style in art history, the author describes how art forms change over time. Although he argues that the development of art is irreducible to external political, social, or economic determinants, one of his great achievements was to lodge a concept of autonomous formal mutation within the shifting domain of materials and techniques. Focillon emphasizes the presence of nonsynchronous tendencies within styles that give to artworks a manifold and stratified character.
