Sommario/riassunto

On pensait avoir tout dit sur le géant, figure figée dans un double stéréotype de violence archaïque ou de bonté débordante, et n'ayant plus guère sa place dans la littérature, si ce n'est dans celle destinée aux enfants. Or ce colloque a permis de découvrir que le géant, présent dans presque tous les récits d'origine où il est tantôt grand ancêtre protecteur, tantôt monstre sauvage tout droit sorti du chaos, continuait à hanter les oeuvres les plus contemporaines. Les articles qui constituent ce volume explorent, à travers les siècles et les oeuvres littéraires, les nombreux enjeux esthétiques, scientifiques ou philosophique de la figure gigantale et nous invitent à découvrir l'étonnante richesse et complexité de ce " personnage-métaphore". La rencontre des spécialistes de domaines et d'époques très différents a ainsi mis en lumière combien le géant est profondément inscrit, non seulement dans l'imaginaire de l'Occident, mais encore dans sa conscience littéraire et artistique.

Sommario/riassunto

Thresholds of Listening addresses recent and historical changes in the ways listening has been conceived. Listening, having been emancipated from the passive, subjected position of reception, has come to be asserted as an active force in culture and in collective and individual politics. The contributors to this volume show that the exteriorization of listening— brought into relief by recent historical studies of technologies of listening—involves a re-negotiation of the theoretical and pragmatic distinctions that underpin the notion of listening. Focusing on the manifold borderlines between listening and its erstwhile others, such as speaking, reading, touching, seeing, or hearing, the book maps new frontiers in the history of aurality. They suggest that listening’s finitude— defined in some of the essays as its death or deadliness—should be considered as a heuristic instrument rather than as a mere descriptor. Listening emerges where it appears to end or to run up against thresholds and limits—or when it takes unexpected turns. Listening’s recent emergence on the cultural and theoretical scene may therefore be productively read against contemporary recurrences of the motifs of elusiveness, finitude, and resistance to open up new politics, discourses, and technologies of aurality.
