    Zusammenfassung: "La vie de l'esprit est-elle possible en temps de guerre ? Les idées peuvent-elles encore circuler ? Comment et grâce à qui ? Des recherches menées sur l'Occupation allemande en France et en Belgique ont permis de mettre au jour une réalité qui bat en brèche certains clichés : en effet, l'étude tant des périodiques que des médiateurs (traducteurs, éditeurs, directeurs de revues) démontre que les années 1940-1945 furent aussi et malgré tout une période d'échanges culturels intenses durant laquelle personnes, idées et livres ont continué à voyager à la faveur de réseaux ou de personnalités spécifiques. Les traductions se sont tout particulièrement révélées le vecteur de ces circulations intellectuelles qui ont alors nourri l'Europe des Lettres. Cet ouvrage à multiples facettes aborde les représentations du théâtre allemand à Paris durant l'Occupation, la récupération politique du romantisme en Belgique, la traduction de bandes dessinées américaines sous Vichy, sans oublier le rôle joué par des revues ou périodiques culturels français, belges, italiens plus ou moins idéologiquement orientés. On y découvre l'étendue de la pénétration allemande dans une Europe fracturée par la montée du fascisme et par la guerre, mais aussi les forces dissidentes qui s'y expriment, symboles de la résilience de tout un continent qu'illustrent les mots de Max Pol Fouchet en 1940 dans Fontaine :"Nous ne sommes pas vaincus.""--Page 4 of cover.

    Homer?s 'Odyssey' is one of the most fascinating and popular texts of all time, inspiring not only artists and poets but also generating a massive amount of research. This book focuses for the first time on the 'Odyssey''s reception in late antiquity, the period that witnesses the transformation of classical culture into the world of the middle ages. The epic?s late antique pictorial reception was a selective one. Artists represented but a small canon of topics: Odysseus? encounter with the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, with the dangerous sorceress Circe, with the bewitching song of the Sirens, and with Scylla the man-eater; a handful of iconographically diverse depictions can be related to the hero?s return to Ithaca that never attracted as much attention as Odysseus? adventures in the course of the wandering. In all cases, the book stresses the close relation between viewer, or context of reception, and specific form of artistic rendering. Depending on context and intended viewer, Odysseus e.g. can be characterized as a person with whom the man in the street can identify, as a problematic and ridiculous figure, or as an example of virtue. Almost all late antique depictions of Odysseus? wanderings have been found - and produced - in the Western provinces of the Roman Empire. In the course of Roman antiquity, the Greek hero and his wanderings had become what they are still: a part of Western cultural identity.00The 'Odyssey''s late antique literary reception was much more multifaceted than the artistic one, as regards topics and geography. In this book, though, the focus will be on those topics that were dealt with in the visual arts, too. Contrasting the late antique pictorial reception with the literary one, and contrasting both with the Homeric epic, reveals the originality of late antiquity?s artists and writers.

    Examining novels, critical editions, gift books, translations, and illustrated books, as well as the communities who made them, Dreaming in Books tells a wide-ranging story of the book's identity at the turn of the nineteenth century. In so doing, it shows how many of the most pressing modern communicative concerns are not unique to the digital age but emerged with a particular sense of urgency during the bookish upheavals of the romantic era. In revisiting the book's rise through the prism of romantic literature, Piper aims to revise our assumptions about romanticism, the medium of the printed book, and, ultimately, the future of the book in our so-called digital age."--pub. desc.
