Collet, Evelyne. "La création comme émergence du possible dans l'art et au dehors." Paris 1, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989PA010559.
Full textCan creation be seen as a force ("what is possible") which expresses itself through an actualization which can't run out into the "effectuation" it produces ? therefore is emergence from creation or is it always internalized in its production which represents its possibility ? the relationship between the act of creation and creation itself may be marked by this transitory moment. The relation of the artist to his work establishes a "third space" which mediatizes the mode of reality in which it is implied ; he thus produces it. Does the conflict remaining between the known world and the "lived" world reveal a set hierarchical organization which maintains a separation of realities then antagonistic? is creation associated with what remains on the surface? if this representation is subtented by the thought of a one and static origin, does it not imply that the "represented" should be located in a position of anteriority in relation to it? furthermore has the emergence of "what is possible" got a teleological value, whose resonance seeks the determination of the analogy established between creation and the emergence of "what is possible"?

Full textIn order to enrich his oven personal creative experience, the candidate presents a comprehensive view on art in this part of the world commonly known as the gulf and moreover, in the candidate's own homeland; bahrain. The special character of this study stems from his intention to present a detailed investigation of the most important developments in the history of art in this region. This detailed investigation aims to give an introductory base to aesthetic concepts and philosophies which have governed the development of local art before the introduction of the contemporary notion of art through the establishment of education in bahrain. The range of questions which arise in relation to the candidate's attempts to reveal the nature of art in this particular area is quite wide. It stretches from those examined in the first and second parts of this thesis which primarily involve questions on the art of one of the earliest civilizations; dilmun, the mythical place of the first "act of creation", identified as bahrain. And laster on, the contribution of bahrain (strategic region) in the birth of the arab-islamic form of art to those examined in the last two parts which involve issues concerning the obstacles to real development in the contemporary local art movement. No previous attempts have been made to analyze these major events in local art nor to assemble them all in one single volume
Seyral, Frédérique. "Nouvelles fluidités dans l'art vidéo et la danse : contribution à une esthétique modale." Bordeaux 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008BOR30066.
Full textIn the image of the changing form of Oriental Kata, where the way and the act prevail over the closed form, certain works privilege process and a multiplicity of levels of reality. These works go against the unitary, uniform and consensual sentiment of images that are mass-produced by our contemporary societies. In this all-visible universe, where access to dreamed-of consumer goods is a new life objective, the artist increasingly interrogates the flow themselves, questioning as much their amazing speed as the fluctuations, effusions, stasis and other circulation troubles that affect them, in order to modify their ways of capturing and restoring the world, and to revisit the principles of creation themselves. These fluid approaches relay a particular conception of philosophy and Science, a conception of fluidity that sees, in universal mobility, in desires, orderings, mobility of affects, in the analysis of connections and energy conditions, a critique of the substance and the form and lead us to conceptualise an aesthetic that would be envisioned in terms of modality, intensity and potential. Though the example of some artists, videographers and choreographers working with fluidity, randomness, the incidental, a mobility of viewpoints, and the form in process, we will try to elaborate a topology of flows starting with vague and fluid essences, then with a nomadic and intensive cartography of flows, and finally, by examining the temporal dimensions of flows

Full textAfter analyzing in the first par the foundations of the Platonician theory of art, the author tries in the second part to show the philosopher's originality by studying the important part played by tradition and artistic background in Plato's works. In the third and last par the author studies how Platonician aesthetics work, by focusing on all the elements that combine/contribute to create a work of art. The conclusion shows that the Platonician concept of beauty is a complex one and that the problems posed by Platonician aesthetics are the foudations of modem aesthetic theories

Full textIn a period when the profusion of the reality, the accelerated exchanges and the nomination of the digital technology hold place of paradigms, arises the question of the “representability” of what constantly seems to move, in front of practices or theoretical approaches which, traditionally, invest the field of the immovable. How to show what ceaselessly moves? What involves the necessity of living and of thinking of the world according to a relative adequacy? Starting with a notion of flow, we shall move towards a certain contemporaneousness of the current world, questioning from artists the link that weave the aesthetics and the contemporary. At first, the updating of the notion of becoming allows us to underline the set of the contradictions, convenient to the emergence of the new and the event. In that, what teach us artists such as Tacita Dean, Darren Almond or Sam Taylor-Wood, is that the flow envisages such an unstable articulation, livening up various orders of height. Secondly, is organized a cartographic approach, reporting the reconfiguration of the balance of power which, by virtue of the spirit of the "multitudes", reminds us that the contemporary is praxis and production. Artists such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Hirschhorn or Francis Alÿs will help us in this way, insisting on the articulated, participative, interactive and after all, fluid dimension, the construction of the current world. It is what what leads us towards the third part where, of the aesthetics of the contemporary, we end in a contemporary of the aesthetics, in its tension towards a " aesthetic construction of the reality "

Full textThis study is a philosophical aesthetic analysis of choreographic art. Often considered as an immediate and natural form of expression, dance is also an art with a relatively recent, rapidly evolving history and varied styles and thematic contents. This paradoxical combination of simplicity and complexity leads to question our most sophisticated theoretical systems and our most apparently obvious conceptual distinctions, in a reconsideration of fundamental philosophical problems.The advantages and drawbacks of diverse definitions of art are examined, before addressing the symbolic functioning and the reality of choreographic properties. As a multiple art, dance is an ontological challenge. A chapter is devoted to the creation processes, the status of notation and the relation between the works and their performances and interpretations. After proposing a definition of dance, the study focuses on the concept of expression. In addition to mental states and physical movements, intention and action, freewill and determinism, the notions of natural expressiveness, technique, style and meaning are studied in detail. The traditional philosophical dichotomies appear to be inadequate to dance, insofar as this art reconciles sensibility and rationality, emotion and understanding, spontaneity and deliberation, activity and passivity, interiority and exteriority, constraint and freewill

Full textConsidering the paradigm of the inquiry (as John Dewey's theory defines it) as a specific framework in arts and design, this research analyses the sense-making capacity of art forms in revealing the Anthropocene. Because humanity enters in the age of the Anthropocene —an age defined by all-consuming modes of production and by deep alteration of the Earth equilibriums—, this research describes the ontological modes and apparatus by which arts reconnect with Nature and felt natural environment. How do practices of art and our ways of interpreting art reflect, reverberate, contest, the ecological realities that we now face, in the age of the Anthropocene?

Full textThe first part of our problematics explains the philosophical context of an esthetics of error; indeed, most of the pictorial movements of this century has been criticized as a danger of non-sense in painting. The common point of the critics is also the question of death of art, as a danger to overcome by finding a concept able to establish a logic of modernity in art. We find in Gombrich's and Nietzsche’s texts already a statute of error which confirms our purpose, and makes us enable to build a concept of error, in the second part of our purpose. Thus, error is determined by Kant’s analyses of temporality and perception. And we can define error as a function of an almost "false" perception. As a function, error creates a dialectics of liberty in painting. In the last part of our purpose, we analyze Adorno's esthetics as the loss of the sense of error and modernity, as well as the postmodernist orientation of art, which opens our problem on the question of the sense of modernity in art
Kuperman, Ruth. "Le tournant du contemporain : les années 1950 et l'art." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0114.
Full textThis study focuses on a group of transformations which affected the picture plane during the 1950s. Set out by the introduction of all kind of materials in the space traditionally reserved for painting, these transformations of wide impact claim to be situated as origin for the burst of new artistic manifestations in the 1960s. The analysis of these mutations - whose essential factors could be found in the work of the American artist Robert Rauschenberg - led us to a réévaluation of aesthetic categories from a contemporary point of view, which provided new instruments for the understanding of the work of art. The necessary historical account brought us back to the consolidation of the picture plane as an autonomous space for artistic expression and as a device for the image system, improved since Renaissance, which would be dismissed by the contemporary combine-painting through a radical shift in its relation to reality and to subjectivity

Full textRicoeur’s philosophical project can be broadly termed as a philosophical anthropology. Within this context, a main role is given to the issue of imagination through the resources of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and reflexive philosophy. The issue of picture, however, remains quite unknown and has not been much questioned; it might even be undermined by being reduced to the context of reproductive imagination as opposed to that of productive imagination within Ricoeur’s anthropology, and due to the emphasis on the linguistic relationship to sense or meaning. Yet, instead of opposing the plane of picture to the plane of sense or meaning, an articulated connection between those two planes should be sought. The issue of symbolism opened by Ricoeur in his Philosophie de la volonté provides the starting point for our investigation. From that early hermeneutics on to La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli, via De l’interprétation. Essai sur Freud, La Métaphore vive, and Temps et récit, one could also consider that picture makes us think. But the issue of symbolism cannot be distinguished from that of imagination. One also has to link two paths of Ricoeur’s philosophy through the issue of symbolism, one that is orientated in the path of hermeneutics – the progression to the standpoint set by Du texte à l’action –, another that links the project of a philosophical anthropology to the fields of art and aesthetics. The research is thus structured around four parts. A first part is focused on the articulated connection between Ricoeur’s philosophy of imagination and philosophical aesthetics by addressing the hermeneutical prospect as the condition for the effectiveness of this connection. Extending this hermeneutical stance, a second part seeks to establish a bond between Ricoeur’s notion of a critical hermeneutics and the issue of picture. A third part, concurrent with the context of a critical hermeneutics, aims to consider imagination as mediating the plane of art and the plane of experience by referring to Ricoeur’s reading of analytic philosophy and, more specifically, analytic philosophy of art. Relying on the previous parts, a fourth part finally addresses the field of film, articulating ontological, narrative, and social layers to a philosophical hermeneutics

Full textInterrogate the connexions and the interactions between arc and painting field : generation, designation, variation, are the objectives of this thesis. The setting up of dualities, opposing the cursive and separative line tension, to the non-tensivity of a monochromatic and hollow ground, the latter is identified to the forgetfulness screen, and arouses remembrance. Edmond Jabes's writing comes, as an echo of this second duality, to open a dialogue between text and painting. The focusing on painting field leads the author to interrogate this knowledge in its extent and its depth, as a carrier of potential tensions and contradictions generating a new model of space : the flat depth, characteristic of Pollock's space, or of several Mondrian's works. Monet, Monnard, Malevitch, Strzeminski, Tal Coat and Ryman are studied in this prospect. The knowledges of soft space and striated space, with Deleuze and Guattari, carry a lighting over internal conflicts of the field, as opposition between concrete designation of the painting's terms, and the loos o f marks, the surface desorder. The arc curve is the figure and the operator of these disturbances, opening to new fields

Full textHow doe the being face the other? This question is dealt with through the analysis of a set of paintings which represent partial or entire human bodies whose thickness and relation to the frame is always emphasied. These paintings suggest a particular approach to the human body, the picture, the notion of space and the pictorial act. The body and the picture are seen as spatialized elements, firmly contained, but always aiming at an extreme limit beyond which everything become "the other" and thus dangerous and fascinating. The aim is to remain on the frontier and plastic means - such as fat, the entanglement of textiles, knots, condensation, or series - clearly convey this by materializing what is on the frontier. The limits are finally studied in themselves, in their flesh, thickness, movements and desires, in a word, in their own existence, strength and means of pressure. In fact, they present man as a system of frontiers opposed to other frontiers and painting (itself based on a set of separations) as the most appropriate way of transposing the opposition between the being (and his position in the world) and the other. The being and the painting are shown as elements suspended in their movement, coming and going from desire to fear. In fact, they never manage to settle their own definition

Full textItaly, the cradle of Castiglione’s sprezzata desinvoltura, is undoubtedly the country where the ambiguous relationship between art, politics and media is the strongest. The Italian pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2009 and 2011 illustrates the complex game of appearances, which are “making worlds" or "lighting up nations." Reading again the history of art through the prism of Castiglione’s concept, the thesis shows us that the world (of art) is itself the effect of this “disinvoltura” ambivalence. Far from having subjugate art to their concepts, the great men, whether kings, philosophers or businessmen are the effects of this casualness (“desinvoltura”) of art. Like Monsieur Jourdain, they would make art without knowing it. Exit Machiavelli! It is now urgent to think this "ruse of art" that leads the world. These are the fundamental stakes of this thesis, that basing itself on the Nietzschean eternal return schema, distinguishes several casualness figures, historical, philosophical and aesthetic

Full textThis thesis in research/creation will develop in the research portion, how painting has played a major role in the evolution and formation of the concept of landscape in Western civilization, from the Renaissance to the 20th century. It will explain how landscape painting has contributed to our present fascination in the ‘picturesque’ landscape, and its representation. The evolution and transformation of the word ‘landscape’, which emerged simultaneously in several European languages during the Renaissance will be summarized. The various theories on the concept of landscape will be presented, and the concepts of ‘nature’ and ‘environment’ will be developed in relation to the landscape. The last part is dedicated to the body of work linked to this thesis. It expresses how the visual arts may now, as during the Renaissance and several centuries after, play a role in the reevaluation and re-creation of our relationship to nature, landscape and the environment.

Full textThis dissertation explores the numerous changes arising from the Digital Revolution through aesthetics. It takes on the essential issues in three steps, tackling discourse, creation and reception. The first part assembles trends and keywords that reflect the main discourse, covering both the present and the past. A comparative study analyzes typical aesthetic approaches: whether considering new media art, virtual art, digital art, computer art, information art or code art, it becomes apparent that almost ail approaches seek the specific new qualities of the digital medium. The second part concentrates on sound arts and on audio dramas in particular, but also tackles computer music. The focus on the genre Hörspiel allows demonstration of how space and time change in detail. The setting up of a working hypothesis of Sonarios, defining interactive scenic spatial sound installations, allows the direct comparison of the 'old' genre Hörspiel and the 'new' genre Sonario on the basis of three case studies and a consideration of the state of the art. It, moreover, suggests a qualitative and quantitative model of interactivity. The third part introduces the prominent research sectors of philosophy. Step by step, it constructs a hermeneutic model with the aid of ontology, starting with the processes of virtualization and actualization. Selected philosophical approaches on important aesthetic categories are presented in order to refine and discuss the model, together with an analysis of findings from the second part. A graphical model of algorithmic signs, developed in the context of semiotics and phenomenology, allows the analysis to be embedded in the context of aesthetics

Full textThe theorist and philosopher of art Max Raphael (1889-1952) bequeathed a work of a very great richness. However only a negligible part of his writings was published as well in Germany as in France and in the United States where he resided successively. The objective of this research is to show the coherence of his work at first sight eclectic, exploring fields as different as traditional painting but also the cubism, the Greek architecture, medieval architecture or constructivist, then the cave paintings and archaic art in the last years of his life. Overcoming cleavage between idealism and materialism, having conceived an empirical method of analysis of the works of art, Raphael works out this idiom which is peculiar to him where crystallize the fundamental concepts allowing, according to him, to realize of the emergence of the form in the matter and within the process of artistic creation. However deeply rooted in the German idealistic tradition, his work comes within the context of a resolutely innovative step, between hermeneutics and iconology, and prefigures in many ways the modern esthetics
Bartalesi, Lorenzo. "Histoire naturelle de l'esthétique : remarques philosophiques pour une esthétique naturaliste." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0043.
Full textThe thesis has for objective to question the possibility of establishing a naturalist program in the field of the aesthetics and to present a phylogenetic hypotheses of the aesthetic relation. Ln the first part we succeed in locating an epistemological model of the traditional philosophic aesthetics which makes problematic any headway of a naturalist program. From the analysis of this model we propose an ethological definition of the aesthetic relation as a cognitive relation between man and world which regulates by means of an intrinsic emotional reaction. The second chapter verifies the efficiency of this description by presenting the aesthetic relation as a common anthropological fact, which is an integral part of cultural and social practices. A model of the cognitive functioning of the aesthetic relation is thus proposed in the third chapter where, by the adoption of a minimal notion of intentionality, we place the naturalist program of aesthetic facts in the debate on the strategies of naturalization of the mental. Ln the last chapter we finally succeed in implementing a genealogical-evolutionist perspective on the aesthetic facts, and in supposing the evolutionary ancestors, as well as the causalities and the selective pressures, which led to the appearance of the aesthetic activity. In this direction the Darwinian notion of “sense of beauty” offers coordinates in order to study the native forms of the cognitive relation with aesthetic function and the way they evolved since their appearance on earth

Girval, Edith. "L'art de la fiction chez Aphra Behn (1640-1689) : une esthétique de la curiosité." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030047.
Full textRecent research on Aphra Behn has shown the link between the scientific prose of the period and Behn’s narrative fiction, while other scholars have underscored the importance of bodily and moral deformity in her works. Drawing on these apparently heterogeneous studies, this project aims at providing a global aesthetic framework for Behn’s fiction. The epistemological context of the late seventeenth century offers a stimulating insight in Behn’s fiction, especially through the notion of “curiosity”. This notion is at the centre of both the scientific and literary concerns of the period; the growing interest in natural philosophy progressively rehabilitates curiosity – which had been an object of scorn in the Augustinian tradition – first by valuing curiosity as the ideal attitude of the “scientist”, and by having curiosities as its major object of study – the rare, new, and unusual objects of the Wunderkammern replacing the “universal” objects of study of the Medieval and Renaissance science. At exactly the same time, in the literary field, the notion of curiosity undergoes a redefinition, in a somewhat similar fashion to that which occurs in the scientific field, shifting from the “generalities” of idealized romance to a new conception of curiosity in the emerging genre of the novel. Behn advocates for a radical mimesis of truth and extraordinary curiosities. At the time when Aphra Behn writes her fictional texts, curiosity is therefore a polysemic notion, whose unity can nonetheless be found in a set of specificities: curiosity is concerned, both in science and in literature, with the emotions/reactions of the “curious” scientist or reader; it is what leads us to experiment, and it comes from a desire for knowledge. But curiosity is also a transgressive desire: the distinction between two types of curiosity, a “good” and a “bad” curiosity, is central in Behn’s discourse. The parallel between Behn’s fascination with curiosities and the scientific episteme of her time is obvious in the numerous descriptions of exotica in Oroonoko, as the narrator explicitly compares the objects she shows to those which form part of the Royal Society repository, but the rest of Behn’s fiction is also concerned with this preoccupation with curiosity: in several of her other works, moral irregularities are conjoined with ‘natural’/physical irregularities which belong to the realm of curiosities. The various transgressions depicted in Behn’s fiction can therefore be seen as “curiosities”; Behn’s work can be read as a sort of Wunderkammern, as she herself seems to suggest when she wishes her novels were “esteem’d as Medals in the Cabinets of Men of Wit” – novelists collect and experiment on human nature just as natural philosophers do with nature (and art) in the cabinets of curiosities. But in her fiction Behn actually goes beyond the conventional notion of the cabinet of curiosities, by insisting on moral and physical monstrosity. In underlining the importance of the realm of curiosity in Behn’s fiction, this study aims at showing the specificity of her aesthetics and the originality of her conception of the novel; as she states in the preface to Oroonoko, writers, like painters, are supposed to “erase” defects: by deliberately choosing not to idealize nature, men, or society, and by choosing to systematically depict deformity and exceptions instead (rather than exemplary individuals), Aphra Behn invents her own conception of the novel, a sensationalist aesthetic of the “strange and novel”

Full textThe main object of this work was to build, from Plato to Theodor W. Adorno, the whole historical group of the aesthetic contradiction. We selected significative moments in the philosophical history of art or aesthetic, to constitute a coherent group. The interest of this critical work is centered at the theoretical action, to isolate the aesthetical contradiction, and to know its way through the centuries, its particularities, and its political implications. In many cases, one can only understand the aesthetical contradiction depending on the categories of taste, creative imagination, genius, reason, etc. Since the aesthetical contradiction concept was not only absolute contradiction work, we include differences, non-contradictions, conciliations, etc. This research starts from the assumption that there is an interior history, aiming at conceptual unity: Plato, Diderot, Goethe, Schiller, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Adorno, among others

Full textThis thesis (based on plastic works i made between 1988 and 1993) tries to elucidate the enigma of motivation and the process of creation : it deals with the poietique of "subtlety" in plastic arts. My painting relates what appears in my works : formal expression of "politeness", representation of reticent feelings such as discreet behaviour. In such an incarnation of the theme, the question does'nt intend to teach anything in particular, be it cultural or moral, but to live the aesthetics of discretion, subtlety and one's own pleasure. Like a need or any urge of the body, like a non violent but discreet and delicate desire, the practice of subtlety is a profound need of my body. For me, subtlety is the ability to analyze and grasp tiny nuances. The making process (the principle of gragmentation, pluralisation and pulverization) brings a delicate work by the taste of division and grasp of tiny nuances with subtle hand gestures. With such a practice, the subtlety can be defined as the power of division and the intensity of pleasure : the pleasure of subtle discrimination. My personal view of "subtlety" concerns the art of living. An art made of subtle gestures resembling those of a chef, is in fact like a daily life transformed

Full textMy thesis is about the first part of Louis Marin's (1931-1992) work, especially about the themes of meaning and interpretation. The first chapter places Marin's thought in the context of theoretical reflection in German art historiography at the beginning of the 20th century. The second chapter deals with the « semiology of painting » which Marin proposes at the end of the sixties and with its relation to the semiotics of that time. The third chapter studies some of the critics that Marin's project of a semiology of painting met by philosophers, art historians, literary theorists and semiologists, with particular regard to the critics of J. -L. Schefer, who recognises in Marin's semiology a paradox concerning its scientific purpose and an ambiguity between semiotics and phenomenology. The fourth chapter tests and develops the hypothesis by a detailed analysis of an article of Marin on Poussin's "Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake", and shows the shaping of a freer philosophical thought headed towards a less strictly semiotic, but more consistent, expression. The last chapter shifts the attention on Marin's writings on Bible and Port-Royal to show that the problem of interpretation exceeds the field of art and demands a larger historical perspective than that of structuralism and that of the theory of art historiography, and in particular shows the fundamental developments of Marin's relation to semiotics in his monograph on Gospels

Full textMy research into the aesthetics and poïetics of corporeality within Bioart is situated at the interface of three bordered universes: images of the body, art and science. Bioart recapitulates a series of philosophical, esthetical and scientific questions about the limits of the human body and of animal and plant life, opening horizons to unsuspected possibilities, from phantasms to monstrosities, from Cyborgs to men becoming-animal or plantimal. As the ephemeral temporality of these artworks is inscribed in the dialectic of life and death, Bioart also questions our relationship to alterity and alterations - of the human, non-human or supra-human. We are here in a universe of art, which firstly implies an aesthetic approach, posing questions of delight and disgust and calling for sensitivity. We then have to extricate the ideologies and the figures of the body, which in all of their nuances provoke repulsion, fear, fascination or pleasure and stimulate an urge to experiment and to seek knowledge. By its unusual use of advances made in biotechnologies and biomaterials, Bioart facilitates the questioning of body images, as conveyed by the aesthetics and poïetics of the contemporary body, thus helping us understand critically the socioanthropological, ideological, philosophical and artistic contexts from which they emerge. The transdisciplinary and complementary method of my research takes into account the peculiarity of body awareness in itself, which is constantly expanding - as a rhizome -and so escaping ail disciplinary allocation and conceptual closure

Full textAs opposed to the flimsiness of appearances and the evolution of the world, paiting asserts its motionless presence while integrating ambiguities into representation. To study the human body implies a will to record its perceptible signs to fix something indelible from this swift and ceaseless passage of the being. Owing to strings of variations around the model and by multiplying viewpoints, the rule of pretences is brought out as there has no longer been any identity thinking since the end of immutable ideologies. The theme of shadow and reflection is looming on this work betweenanalogical representation and what destroys it, between the image of the body and the idea of the soul. The first chapter enhances a sort of philosophical descent, from protagoras to nietzsche, without omitting lucrece montaigne, hume and some other thinkers dealing with questioning some major truths asserted as permanent. In the second chapter, shadow is sensed as a metaphor of painting and photography as well as a double of the being, an image of the self, parallel to reflection, which appears as deceitful and narcissistic double. Plastic doubling finds echos in literature, especially with the mise en abime and the melancholic aspects of reflection and lost shadows. The last part is dedicated to the meaning of the human body in these paintings. It is a moulding shape giving birth to a series of works as well as a space which bears language. It is involved in aesthetics and above all, it stands for a bridge between one and the others

Full textArt history is generally supposed to be the history of shapes clearly and distinctly present in front of every potential viewer. Nevertheless, there're works which call into question the logic of the presence of the form because they're imperceptible. Another vision of art, of the work of art and of the sensible experience follows from these artistic creations. This Ph D tries to analyse this history in modern and contemporary art (from the beginning of the XX century to nowadays)

Full textIn his Dialogues on Poetry, Yves Bonnefoy refers to Italy as the country where the mirage of the « arrière-pays » (« the back country ») takes place and his aesthetic haunting is elicited. This study aims to elucidate the relevance of Italian art in the poet’s critical and fictional writings. Dealing with the topic, we chose a theoretical and phenomenological approach and focused our research on the semiotics of art. Yves Bonnefoy’s critical and poetical writings engage visual semiotics in the fine arts through a complex relationship: a dialectic second act in the thought process. Yves Bonnefoy provides a background for looking at art criticism by questioning the ontological distinction between being and desire theories. Our research project investigates a cognitive paradigm inasmuch as, in the poet’s terms, « the dream of the desire for being », « the ontological desire for meaning » is unquestionably assumed to be the metaphysical concern of great Italian art
