  Contemporary Aesthetic Theory

  Depuis une vingtaine d'années, Jean-Marie Schaeffer s'est imposé dans la philosophie française comme celui qui a su renouveler profondément la théorie des arts en la faisant reposer sur des fondements analytiques et cognitivistes. Faisant droit à l'anthropologie et à une approche naturaliste à la fois de la production et de la réception de la fiction, il a permis de redéfinir la relation esthétique en insistant sur sa dimension pragmatique plutôt que sémantique. Son œuvre se trouve ainsi au cœur des débats les plus récents dans le domaine de l'esthétique philosophique.

  Seminar - Europe

  Digital Humanities Seminar 2010 : Scholarly Editions

  This presentation deals with the digital edition of D’Alembert’s eulogy of Bossuet. This text is highly difficult to edit since we have to cope with a printed edition published in two stages and two successive manuscript versions showing various types and levels of corrections.We will explain first these editorial issues and the research problems they are connected to. Then we will expose the way a digital edition could better bring solutions than a traditional printed edition through a series of features showing the genesis process of the text, from the manuscripts to the published versions. Finally we will present some software which makes it possible to edit this text as well as other eulogies with similar characteristics.

  Study days - Early modern

  Power of Spirit and Imagination in 17th Century

  In this workshop, scholars from different disciplines will work together to study the early modern imagination. In particular, we are interested in the relation between general conceptions of the imagination at the time and more specific and controversial ideas of a creative, active and forceful imagination. This powerful imagination was dependent on ‘spirit’ in its different meanings in the early modern period (human spirit, demons, animal and other spirits, spirit of nature, etc.), resulting in a rich variety of opinions. These ideas of an active imagination and of powerful spirits, in their full complexity and diversity, were transmitted between philosophy, literature, medicine, the sciences, witchcraft, demonology as well as religion, and the workshop aims at unearthing the exchanges between these various fields.
