Jorn + Munch is the first publication to examine the enduring impact Edvard Munch (1863-1944) had on Asger Jorn (1914-1973). In Munch's later works, Danish artist Jorn discovered an artist with a direct, spontaneous, and raw form of expression. Already influenced by surrealism's unprompted painting style, Jorn was naturally drawn to Munch's similarly unbridled compositions. In particular, Jorn was interested in Munch's use of intense colors and his gestural application of paint in the later works. From the middle of the 1940s, and for many years after that, Munch is shown to be a challenging and important reference point for Jorn's own body of work.

Is it possible to create a community where everyone lives according to their own rhythm, and yet respects the individual rhythms of others? This volume contains new essays which investigate and actualize the concepts that Roland Barthes discussed in his famous 1977 lecture series on „How to Live Together“ at the Collège de France. The anthology presents original and thought-provoking approaches to questions of conviviality and „idiorrhytmic life forms“ in literature, arts and other media. The essays are written by 32 highly competent scholars from seven countries, representing literary studies, philosophy, social sciences, theology, church history, psychoanalysis, art history, architecture, media studies, history of ideas, and biology.

Difficile pour Smilla Jaspersen de croire en la mort accidentelle d'Esajas. Impossible même parce que Smilla ne croit pas qu'un enfant atteint de vertiges chroniques puisse sauter du toit d'un immeuble. Parce qu'elle s'était prise d'affection pour ce gamin groenlandais, délaissé par sa mère. Parce que Smilla est groenlandaise, elle aussi, et que sa mère, esquimaude, lui avait appris "l'amour de la neige". Et que la neige ne ment pas, contrairement aux hommes. Commence alors pour cette femme solitaire et obstinée une quête pour la vérité et l'honneur qui l'amènera sur les traces d'un bateau en route pour les terres arctiques, à la découverte d'une infâme machination qui risque de lui coûter la vie...
