Résumé:
The Tree of Meaning is a collection of thirteen lectures given by internationally-renowned poet, linguist and typographer Robert Bringhurst. Together these lectures present a superbly grounded approach to the study of language, focusing on storytelling, mythology, comparative literature, humanity and the breadth of oral culture. Bringhurst’s commitment to what he calls ‘ecological linguistics’ emerges in his studies of Native American art and storytelling, his understanding of poetry, and his championing of a more truly universal conception of what constitutes literature. The collection features a sustained focus on Haida culture (including the work of storytellers Skaay and Ghandl, and artist Bill Reid), on the process of translation, and on the relationship between beings and language. Spanning ten years of lecturing, The Tree of Meaning is remarkable not only for the cohesion of its author’s own ideas but for the synthesis of such wide-ranging perspectives and examples of cultures both human and non-human. These thirteen lectures draw together a highly personalized and active study of Native American art and literature, world languages, philosophy and natural history. To each subject Bringhurst brings an ecologically conscious, humanitarian approach and an enthusiastic interest in the world around him.

Résumé:
In this publication, Raffaele Milani interprets natural landscapes as an aesthetic category. Drawing from philosophical traditions, literature, and art, he calls the reader's attention to a special consciousness, originally established during the pre-Romantic age, that has become a distinctive feature of contemporary spirituality. Focusing on the definition of landscapes in relation to the concepts of nature, environment, territory, and man-made settings such as gardens and cities, Milani examines the origins of the predilection for natural scenery in the works of landscape painters and in travel literature. He addresses the distinctness of the aesthetic experience of landscapes, analyses the role of aesthetic categories, and explores landscape art as a medium of contemplation.

Résumé:
Ce numéro des Cahiers thématiques propose une ouverture théorique autour des « pratiques du langage » dans leurs relations à la création, au sens large. Bien qu’essentiellement axée sur l’architecture, cette question est abordée de façon transversale, et suscite une approche interdisciplinaire (arts / littérature / philosophie, notamment). Il est conçu autour de dix-huit essais. Ceux-ci entrecroisent écrits d’architectes (de J.N.L. Durand et J.Guadet à Le Corbusier, A. Rossi, R. Koolhaas et Ant Farm), d’ingénieur (H. Hossdorf) de musiciens (A.Schönberg, L. Nono), d’artiste (D. Graham), de linguiste (Hjemslev), de philosophes (L.Wittgenstein, Th.W. Adorno, M. Cacciari, S. Toulmin), et d’écrivains-essayistes (de W.H. Pater à Th. Mann, M. Blanchot et J. L. Borges). Les auteurs : Guillemette Morel-Journel, Sylvain Malfroy, Françoise Bradfer, Gérard Engrand, Daniel Treiber, Guy Rumé, Frédéric Yvan, Joëlle Prugnaud, Philippe Boudon, Caroline Maniaque, Christian Hauer, Jean Attali, Joëlle Caullier, Séverine Bridoux, Frank Vermandel, Antonia Soulez, Jean-Claude Vigato, et Marie-Céline Masson.
