Qu’est-il advenu de la beauté ? Du charme dissimulé dans le quotidien au régime esthétique atypique de l’imagerie scientifique, de sa capacité inouïe à penser le vivant jusqu’à ses innombrables applications littéraires, philosophiques, techniques, historiques et artistiques, la beauté se révèle être un terrain intellectuel particulièrement fécond.

Cet abécédaire croise les axes de réflexion autour d’une notion aussi galvaudée qu’insaisissable, mais qui, selon les quarante-trois contributions réunies ici, demeure au centre de nos préoccupations les plus actuelles et les plus vives. Mêlant à la fois une réflexion sur les termes attendus (Grèce, Style, Sublime, Vénus) et d’autres beaucoup plus insolites (Déchets, Robot, Chaos, Pieuvre), la beauté est présente comme un cadre structurant nos pensées mais également comme une lézarde, diffuse et souterraine, dans les interstices de toutes nos modalités d’existence.

Sous la direction de Clélia Zernik et Justin Jaricot.
Illustrations par Icinori.
