The reflection on habit has raised questions concerning the relationship between body and mind, the problem of time and the (re)construction of identity, the conscious and the unconscious, and the role of memory. This dossier addresses these questions from an aesthetic perspective, at the crossroads between the history of philosophy and the history of literature.

Le petit livre des deux “intermèdes” inédits de Pedro Salinas traduits en italien par Ilena Antici a paru fin 2014 (éditions Mimesis, Milan) avec une préface de Marco Piazza, chercheur en philosophie à l’université de Rome 3. Le second article de Salinas, de 1921, concerne le volume Du côté de chez Swann , dont le poète espagnol offre au lecteur une sorte de mise en scène théâtrale. Il s’agit d’un hommage précurseur et original, qui permet non seulement de retracer les références au monde de La Recherche que Salinas poète s’appropriera, mais aussi de recontextualiser les raisons et les modalités de la première réception proustienne en Espagne. Ce succès espagnol accompagné par des réflexions critiques intéressantes et souvent délaissées par le discours critique dominant, ouvre un questionnement sur les nouveautés du roman proustien (place du réel et de l’imagination, lien entre mémoire et psychologie) telles qu’elles étaient reçues à l’époque. Ce petit livre à l’esprit comparatiste présente un Proust européen lu par l’un des plus grands poètes de la modernité.

The responsible factors are the fear of the expanding global pandemic, increasingly real and close, as well as the measures introduced in attempts to contain it.

Indeed, if the nihilist is a person who acknowledges no moral or religious authority, then what does stop him from committing any kind of crime? Dostoevsky precisely called attention to this danger: if there is no God and no immortality of the soul, then everything is permitted, even anthropophagy. Nietzsche, too, emphasised, although in different terms, the consequences deriving from the death of God and the collapse of Judeo-Christian morality. This context shaped the way in which philosophers, writers and artists thought about violence, in its different manifestations, during the 20th century.
The goal of this interdisciplinary volume is to explore the various modern and contemporary configurations of the link between violence and nihilism as understood by philosophers and artists (in both literature and film).
