Beskrivning

Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy focuses on chance and scripted encounters as sites of tensions and alliances where new forms, ideas, meanings, interpretations, and theories can emerge. By moving beyond the realm of traditional hermeneutics, Jérôme Brillaud and Virginie Greene have compiled a volume that vitally illustrates how reading encounters represented in artefacts, texts, and films is a vibrant and dynamic mode of encountering and interpreting.With contributions from esteemed academics such as Christie McDonald, Pierre Saint-Amand, Susan Suleiman, and Jean-Jacques Nattiez, this book is a multidisciplinary collaboration between scholars from a range of disciplines including philosophy, literature, musicology, and film studies. It uses examples chiefly from French culture and covers the Early Modern era to the twentieth century, while providing a thorough and representative array of theoretical and hermeneutical approaches.

Recensioner i media

An impressive collection of some of the most talented scholars in French and European Studies. The authors formulate a concept of “encountering” as alternatively a “falling into place” and as a “convergence” – concepts that get to the heart of what good criticism does, namely to “take the risk of meeting anew.” Encounters with God, encounters with eighteenth-century women writers, encounters with music and the visual arts, encounters with others – the range of topics and first-rate scholarship attests to Christie McDonald’s enduring influence and inspiration on literary and cultural studies.
