La prochaine séance du cycle des Grandes Conférences des Archives Henri Poincaré aura lieu le mercredi 23 octobre 2019 à Nancy. Nous aurons le plaisir d’accueillir :
Peter Lamarque (Université de York) pour une conférence intitulée : The Experience of Poetry The lecture explores how the idea of experience might apply to literature in general and poetry in particular. Any kind of sensory experience seems at best marginal, for example, to the novel. To speak of the experience of a novel seems not to be speaking of sensory experience. Yet the aesthetic — certainly aesthetic experience —seems closely tied to the sensory. Do we then mean something different when talking of experience in the literary realm? Maybe. But poetry lends itself more readily to talk of experience, aesthetic experience in particular and even sensory experience. Is not much of the pleasure of poetry bound up with the sounds, rhythms and textures of poetic language? And is that not both sensory and aesthetic? Although this might seem incontestable it also hints at a kind of formalism in the aesthetic appraisal of poetry. If our focus is on sounds and rhythms what becomes of poetic subject matter? Is that excluded from aesthetic appraisal? That seems undesirab le in itself, especially so for those who promote the indivisibility of form and content in poetry. Can form-content unity in a poem afford aesthetic experience? If so, how is that explained? If not, then are we back to a different kind of experience (more like the novel?) in associating poetry with aesthetic experience? ---------------------------------- Cette conférence aura lieu à 18 heures à Nancy, sur le Campus Lettres et Sciences Humaines de l'Université de Lorraine en salle G04, place Godefroy de Bouillon, bâtiment G, rez-de-chaussée. Entrée libre, dans la limite des places disponibles. -- Pour toute question, la FAQ de la liste se trouve ici: https://www.vidal-rosset.net/educasup/
