Charles Taylor et la thèse des « langages plus subtils »

La thèse des « langages plus subtils » (subtler languages) constitue l’une des pièces maîtresses de la philosophie herméneutique de Charles Taylor. Elle nous situe à l’intersection de ce qu’il caractérise après Isaiah Berlin comme le tournant « expressiviste » du XVIIIe siècle (Herder, Hamann, Humboldt) ainsi que du tournant ontologique de l’herméneutique contemporaine (Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur). Plus précisément, cette thèse permet d’expliquer pourquoi le tournant ontologique de l’herméneutique ne nous conduit pas au-delà de la tradition expressiviste, mais demeure un tournant au sein même de l’expressivisme. Notre objectif est de montrer, en ce sens, que la « subtilité » spécifique des langages philosophiques modernes devrait être comprise chez Taylor à partir de son interprétation originale de la sécularisation de l’occident chrétien.

Charles H. Gilbert, Pioneer Ichthyologist and Fishery Biologist

Charles Henry Gilbert (Fig. 1) was a pioneer ichthyologist and, later, fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. Born in Rockford, Illinois on 5 December 1859, he spent his early years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where, in 1874, he came under the influence of his high school teacher, David Starr Jordan (1851-1931). Gilbert graduated from high school in 1875, and when Jordan became a professor of natural history at Butler University in Irvington, Indiana, Gilbert followed, and received his B.A. degree in 1879. Jordan moved to Indiana University, in Bloomington, in the fall of 1879, and Gilbert again followed, earning his M.S. degree in 1882 and his Ph.D. in 1883 in zoology. His doctorate was the first ever awarded by Indiana University.

Women artists of the international avant-garde: the case of "Abstraction-Création" (1931-1936)

Women’s contribution to abstract art in the interwar period is a subject that, to date, has received very little attention. In this article we deal with the untold story of the participation of women artists in Abstraction-Création, the foremost international group dedicated to abstract art in the 1930s. Founded in Paris in 1931, the group took on the work of two previous collectives to become a platform for the dissemination and promotion of abstract art and consisted of around a hundred members. Twelve of these were women, whose writings and works were published in the group’s annual magazine, abstraction creátion art non figuratif (1932-1936), and who participated in a number of the group’s exhibitions. Compared to what had occurred in previous groups, the participation of women, although reduced in number, was comparable to that of the male artists and being members of the group had a generally positive impact on the women’s careers. However, all this came at the expense of relinquishing any gender specificity in their work and the public presentation of it, and demonstrates that the normalization of women’s contributions to the avant-garde could only be brought about alongside a questioning of the more dogmatic views of modernity.
