Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This book is a second attempt to reinscribe throughout time Plato's chorology (the chorological discourse about chôra, 48e-53c in his dialogue Timaeus), which follows my first attempt in the 2011 book 'The Dance of Adam: Byzantine Chorography', which reinscribed chôra through dance, the ineffable moving trace of the originary matrix as revivified in Byzantine iconic inscription. The 'Vignettes Imaginales' in this book focus on a precise theme of reflection within chorology: the elemental. This is an exercise of imagination in the sense that one could possibly dream of Plato?s chôra, or long for such abysmal vision. The book's two parts, 'The Book of Tears' and 'The Book of Passions' are thought to fit the chorological frame and the elemental. The chapters move around the elementals as they manifest themselves within the creation as the fluid elemental, the round elemental carried by grace (charis), the dew and the magical charm, the aromatic recollection of Eden. Visions of the body and ground, chortós, chôra, and chorós, moving further into the pathos of the elemental, illustrate the passions of image and sound, from dazzling radiance and dazzling sonority, into the sonic stroke, and the choral phonophobia in contemporary video of Bill Viola. |
