La Bible coulée dans le rock. Fragmentation et reconstruction du texte biblique dans la musique rock

Dans ses entretiens, George Steiner considère la musique rock et le heavy metal comme l’espéranto international des jeunes de notre époque (Steiner, Entretiens, p. 91). Or, cet espéranto porte une dimension religieuse manifeste, entre autres à travers l’usage fréquent d’images et de textes bibliques souvent passés au broyeur des guitares et des voix vociférantes. On peut se demander quelles figures construisent les fragments qui en résultent, souvent irrévérencieux voire scandaleux pour plusieurs. À travers les violences que le rock et surtout le métal infligent au texte biblique, faut-il voir des attaques contre la Bible et contre Dieu, comme le croient plusieurs chrétiens, ou, au contraire, un respect profond de la dynamique de ce texte et un usage légitime de celui-ci ? Davantage portée par la seconde hypothèse, ce texte vise à identifier les usages et les fonctions religieuses de la Bible dans la musique rock.

A etnopoética de Iracema: diálogo, ciência e literatura

Literary works are thought provokers that make it possible to access several forms to view the world and reality. They provide diversified points of view and infinite connections. In a particular way, among all the other forms of art expression literature is considered to be the closest to life, once it is able to reconnect all human dimensions emotional, rational, mystic, personal, universal, corporal, historic, mythical. This thesis aims at offering some reflections about the frontiers and bridges between science and literature aiming at understanding the complexity that guides them. It presents a new reading of Iracema novel: Ceará tale of José de Alencar from a meticulous incursion through new ways and natural spaces interwoven by Alencar. It tries to hear the echoes of this indianist novel in the university students today. In a broader context, it creates arguments that question the multiple threadsthat join science and literature so that a science of complexity arises distinguishing but not separating the innumerous narratives about the world. For this purpose, this thesis has as interlocutors: Antonio Candido, Charles P. Snow, Edgar Morin, Emilio Ciurana, Fritjof Capra, George Steiner, Ilya Prigogine, Isabelle Stengers, Roger Chartier, Roland Barthes. The plot presented here does not limit the novel to science, but makes it a rereading of the word, of life, once this is the raw material of books. As a methodological strategy, we rebuilt Iracema´s character trips in a way to update the novel, resulting in the video documentary Iracema ways: the arid and remote interior, the plateau, the sea. Iracema novel and character enhancing dialogs that allow the dichotomy rupture between two cultures (Charles P. Snow), recognizing they are not incommunicable and revealing the core argument of the thesis: Iracema belongs to a complex category. It is a hybrid novel that is far, far away from that bluish plateau in the horizon

El "Ennui" en la escena revolucionaria, París, 1830-1848: arte, política y sociedad

Esta tesis corresponde a un programa de doctorado de Teoría del Arte en la modernidad. Su punto de partida es el tópico literario del ennui (el tedio, la noia) en el romanticismo francés y las generaciones que siguieron. Siguiendo el planteamiento de George Steiner sobre lo que él mismo llama «El gran ennui», se hace aquí hincapié en los años de la Monarquía de Julio (1830-1848), pero igualmente se presta mucha atención a dos escritores que entonces se encuentran en plena juventud, Flaubert y, especialmente, Baudelaire. En este particular contexto se trata de abordar el ennui en relación con los modelos económicos surgidos en la época, principalmente el laissez faire y todo el aparato que lo acompaña. Con ello, se pretende establecer una relación entre la literatura y el arte con las dimensiones social y política de la modernidad. Dicha relación ha sido puesta de relieve, no a través de la representación artística sino empleando el paradigma fisiológico que la época vuelca sobre el conocimiento. En este aspecto se trata principalmente del pretendido «funcionamiento» al que Balzac, por ejemplo –pero también otros literatos como Alphonse Karr o Maxime Du Camp– prestaron atención a propósito de París. París es la gran ciudad sobre la que este trabajo de investigación se vuelca desde la siguiente planteamiento: el ennui, del que hablaron los románticos, ha de considerarse en relación con el surgimiento de una estructura económica, política y social donde el deseo se cifra por su propia insatisfacción, y por tal insatisfacción asegura una demanda constante e incluso creciente...

Epiphanien unter eiskaltem Himmel. Zum Prosawerk von Klaus Böldl:for prose work of Klaus Böldl

This essay undertakes the first critical assessment of Klaus Böldl's prose works and discusses the position his three published books hold within the context of contemporary German literature. After an introductory examination of Böldl's contribution to the literary portrayal of the peripheral, in this instance the North European/Scandinavian hemisphere, a contrastive analysis of the plots identifies recurring patterns and motifs. In the main part of the essay, the two focal characteristics of Böldl's writings are explored in depth: the narrative destruction of the threshold between natural history and civilisation, as well as the function of transcendental experiences reminiscent of epiphanies. With reference to theoretical writings by Walter Benjamin and George Steiner these literary epiphanies are interpreted as moments of transcendancy's 'profane presence'. © Springer 2005.

Judge George W Paul's Japanese house : a case study

In the late 1880s a pre-fabricated Japanese house was shipped from Kobe, Japan, to Brisbane, Australia, and erected in the up-market suburb of New Farm by Japanese tradesmen. This paper is developed from a broader project researching the life of G W Paul, the man who had the house built and subsequently lived in it for the remainder of his life. Paul’s motivation in importing the house represented a unique, but unfulfilled effort to develop a future, hybrid culture for Queensland. This effort took the form of a commercial venture to construct Japanese houses as desirable and climatically suitable dwellings. Against the backdrop of this ambition, this paper presents new research to elucidate and extend previous knowledge, assesses the reception of the house by its nineteenth century Brisbane audience, and considers possible reasons for the limited response which signalled the cancellation of the commercial venture.

Et tu, George? Campaign journalism and the politics of compromise

There is a category of film about journalism in which journalism is not the star, but the supporting player, and journalists not the protagonists but the Greek chorus, commenting on and also changing the realities they report. In such films the news media are a structuring presence driving the plot, shaping the narrative, constructing what we might think of as a pseudo-reality. Like Daniel Boorstin’s notion of the pseudo-event (introduced in his still-relevant book The Image, 1962), this pseudo-reality is so-named because it would not exist were it not for the demands of the news media’s hunger for stories, and knowledge of the damage they can do with those stories, on the calculations and actions of the key actors. Pseudo-realities form as responses to what political actors think journalists and their organisations need and want, or as efforts to shape journalistic accounts in ways favourable to themselves. Films about politics often feature pseudorealities of this kind, in which the events and actions driving the plot have only a tenuous relationship with important things going on in the everyday world beyond the political arena. Everything we see is about image, perception, appearance.
