Sommario/riassunto

Métissage et hybridation dominent l’art contemporain. Les médias sont de plus en plus en souvent mixtes, croisant les langages et jouant d’un large déploiement perceptif. Sommes-nous, pour autant, sortis des catégories essentialistes ? Les artistes insistent souvent sur leur volonté d’exprimer ce que leur art est seul capable de dire. Thierry Groensteen retrace l’histoire de cette idée depuis Lessing et décrit son apogée avec « l’idéologie de la pureté » consubstantielle au modernisme. Il montre comment le dépassement ou l’abandon de cette idéologie ne l’empêche pas de revenir nous hanter. À l’horizon de nos pratiques culturelles, en filigrane de nos jugements, persiste l’idée que chaque art a une puissance propre, un domaine d’excellence, et procure une qualité de plaisir qui n’appartient qu’à lui. Musique, littérature, arts plastiques, cinéma et bande dessinée sont convoqués tour à tour au long de cette méditation esthétique.

Sommario/riassunto

During the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans voted in saloons in the most derelict sections of great cities, in hamlets swarming with Union soldiers, or in wooden cabins so isolated that even neighbors had difficulty finding them. Their votes have come down to us as election returns reporting tens of millions of officially sanctioned democratic acts. Neatly arrayed in columns by office, candidate, and party, these returns are routinely interpreted as reflections of the preferences of individual voters and thus seem to



unambiguously document the existence of a robust democratic ethos. By carefully examining political activity in and around the polling place, this book suggests some important caveats which must attend this conclusion. These caveats, in turn, help to bridge the interpretive chasm now separating ethno-cultural descriptions of popular politics from political economic analyses of state and national policy-making.

Sommario/riassunto

After more than three decades of research on secondary predication, there has not been a book which examines the syntactic and semantic mechanisms of secondary predication in East Asian languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian and Korean - until now. Shibagaki's lucid and impartial survey should prove of great value to people interested in the study of not only secondary predication, but also the theories of syntax and semantics.
