Peter Szendy

His ''Écoute, une histoire de nos oreilles'' (2001, English translation in 2008: ''Listen, A History of Our Ears'') is a critique of Romantic and Modernist conceptions of listening. Paying close attention to arrangements as "signed listenings" and to the juridical history of the listener, Szendy suggests an alternative model based on deconstruction: listening, he argues (quoting C. P. E. Bach), is a "tolerated theft", and our ears are always already haunted by the ear of the other. In ''Sur écoute. Esthétique de l'espionnage'' (2007), he draws on Foucault's analysis of the Panopticon and Deleuze's ''Postscript on the Societies of Control'' in order to show how the act of listening always entails issues of power and dominion. ''Sur écoute'' proposes an archeology of overhearing, following many paths, from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until the 17th century, ''art'' referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. The nature of art and related concepts, such ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
