Summary:
La société antique tenait ses morts à bonne distance de la cité, enfermés dans de vastes nécropoles ou dans des mausolées familiaux, le long des routes. Au Moyen Age, les morts furent au contraire attirés au cœur de l'habitat et ensevelis, le plus souvent de manière collective et anonyme, dans des terrains protégés que la population labourait et retournait régulièrement.(...)

Summary:
La société antique tenait ses morts à bonne distance de la cité, enfermés dans de vastes nécropoles ou dans des mausolées familiaux, le long des routes. Au Moyen Age, les morts furent au contraire attirés au cœur de l'habitat et ensevelis, le plus souvent de manière collective et anonyme, dans des terrains protégés que la population labourait et retournait régulièrement. Ces lieux, auxquels fut bientôt donné le nom de "cimetières", accueillaient aussi des artisans dans leurs ateliers, des marchands dans leurs échoppes, des spectacles et des jeux, ou encore des assemblées de justice.

Summary:
Bringing together a sequence of subtle and disquieting photographs with a dozen compact short stories, ''Pharmakon'' is a surprising new work from the singular mind of Teju Cole. The photographs were taken across the globe and extend the oblique point of view he developed in ''Fernweh'' (2020). Interspersed among the images are texts that emerge like intimate signals from our age of crisis, mining further the exquisite linguistic control that characterizes Cole’s novels ''Open City'' (2011) and ''Tremor'' (2023). The result is a work of strange beauty that startles and consoles in equal measure.

Summary:
''Picturing Aura'' is the first book of its kind: an extended historical, anthropological, and philosophical study of modern efforts to visualize the hidden radiant force encompassing the living body known as our aura. This rich, interdisciplinary study by Jeremy Stolow chronicles the rise and global spread of modern instruments and techniques of picturing aura, from the late nineteenth century to the present day, exploring how its images are put to work in the diverse realms of psychical research, esotericism, art photography, popular culture, and the New Age alternative medical and spiritual marketplace.

Summary:
Peu de questions restent aussi controversées que celle de l'émergence du paysage: peut-on parler d'un premier essor du paysage dans l'Antiquité? Faut-il plutôt situer son émergence véritable à la fin du Moyen Age? En Italie ou bien dans le nord de l'Europe? Et apparaît-il d'abord en peinture et ensuite dans la littérature? Le paysage réel est-il postérieur à la(...)

Peu de questions restent aussi controversées que celle de l'émergence du paysage: peut-on parler d'un premier essor du paysage dans l'Antiquité? Faut-il plutôt situer son émergence véritable à la fin du Moyen Age? En Italie ou bien dans le nord de l'Europe? Et apparaît-il d'abord en peinture et ensuite dans la littérature? Le paysage réel est-il postérieur à la représentation picturale? Le volume richement illustré de Michael Jakob ne prétend pas fournir des réponses définitives à ces questions, mais il propose plutôt des suggestions aux problèmes actuels.
