&#160;Seminar Langarts 2018-2019:Art and bodily experience, a comparison between the arts in a Western /Eastern perspectiveYear 2018: Aesthetics and kinesthesia.&#160;For the year 2018, we shall study the encounter between gestures in art but also in work (praxis) as modes of self-expression, whose clues are found in the arts, in language, but also in philosophy, particularly in the apology of everyday life by Michel de Certeau and Henri Lefèbvre. These preoccupations for everyday gestures are similar to those of Asian philosophies, while at the same time differentiating themselves from them.[1] SessionsSession 1 (January 12) The body as a support of conscienceIntroduction to the seminar; theoretical presentation of the Feldenkrais method and practical introduction (Chantal Mir, Geste en mouvement association - 15 euros / participant).Session 2 (March 2) The human body as a measure of the worldSéverine Bridoux-Michel, ENSAP Lille, explains the principles of Modulor for Le Corbusier, its relationship to the body and music; Christine Vial Kayser evokes the theories proposing that architecture is a representation of the human body (notably of Wölfflin) and Hyeonsuk Kim proposes on the contrary a reading of the installations Bill Viola and Yasuaki Onishi, as highlighting that the space is not human. The confrontation of the three positions on the same session will underpin the centrality of man in nature, in Western thought.Session 3: (June 15) Mirror neurons at workJohn Onians, author of Neuroarthistory, From Aristotle and Pliny to Baxandall and Zeki (Yale University Press, 2008), will present "The power of the Discobolus.
