Reconsidering Eusebius : collected papers on literary, historical, and theological issues /
:
Over the last decades, Eusebius has been the focus of a great deal of attention. New light has been shed both on his writings and on his personality, which has led to a welcome re-assessment of his significance. As a result, he is no longer perceived as a mere compiler but as a powerful author who largely contributed to the construction of the orthodox Church's triumphalism. This volume seeks to contribute to the ongoing re-evaluation of Eusebius as an active participant to the construction of late antique history, theology, and literature. The result is an interdisciplinary collection of articles by an international team of scholars who offer innovative papers on one of the most important late antique author.

Iconoclasm and iconoclash : struggle for religious identity /
:
This book focuses on iconoclastic controversies and, in particular, their impact on the creation of religious identities. In the history of Jewish, Christian and Muslim culture, religious identity was not only formed through historical claims, but also through the use of certain images: 'images of God', 'images of the others', and 'images of the self.' Moreover, in the struggle for religious identity these 'images' were time and again employed for the purpose of establishing distinct groups, both ortho- dox and deviant. At the same time, they supplied weapons in the theological debate and found explicit expression in certain rituals or liturgical traditions. These conference proceedings include a discussion of the role of images in society, politics, theology and liturgy, in particular addressing the 'iconoclash' of physical, mental and verbal images on the construction of religious identity.

Le Labyrinthe littéraire de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr /
:
Depuis ses débuts avec la nouvelle « La Cale » en 2014, les textes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr connaissent un succès qui ne se dément pas. Terre ceinte en 2015, Silence du chœur en 2017 et De purs hommes en 2018 ont remporté des prix littéraires de grand renom. Enfin, le jury du prix Goncourt a opté en 2021 avec La plus secrète Mémoire des hommes pour un roman qui offre une métaréflexion littéraire subtile, détaillée et lucide sur l'histoire de la littérature africaine ainsi que sur le milieu littéraire parisien. Ce volume cherche à éclairer les modalités narratives qui permettent à l'auteur de transformer le politique en littérature, mais aussi à situer son œuvre dans le contexte littéraire actuel. Since his debut with the short story "La Cale" in 2014, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's texts have enjoyed increasing success. Terre ceinte in 2015, Silence du chœur in 2017 and De purs hommes in 2018 have all won major literary prizes. Finally, in 2021, with La plus secrète Mémoire des hommes , the jury for the Prix Goncourt opted for a novel that offers a subtle, detailed and lucid literary metareflection on the history of African literature and the Parisian literary milieu. This volume seeks to shed light on the narrative modalities that allow the author to transform politics into literature, but also to situate his work in the current literary context. See Less

We Have Always Been Transcultural: The Arts as an Example /
:
Wolfgang Welsch demonstrates for the first time that transculturality - the mixed constitution of cultures - is by no means only a characteristic of the present, but has de facto determined the composition of cultures since time immemorial. The historical transculturality is demonstrated using examples from the arts. While transculturality was often viewed with reservation where political, social, or psychological levels were at stake, it was rather welcomed and appreciated in the field of art. The book therefore demonstrates the historical prevalence of transculturality via all areas of art and does so with respect to all cultures and continents of our world.
