The Right Moment: Essays Offered to Barbara Baert, Laureate of the 2016 Francqui Prize in Human Sciences, on the Occasion of the Celebratory Symposium [Paperback]

In consultation with Han Lamers. Editorial assistance: Stephanie Heremans & Laura Tack <br/><br/>

?????????The essays collected in this volume explore how and by what means, from antiquity to the present day, the notion of the right moment has been defined, visualized, and experienced. The authors approach the subject from a range of disciplines and often work at the intersection of several of them, including the history of art and architecture, philosophy and art theory, classics and comparative literature, the history of religion and theology, and anthropology. In addition to scholarly expos?s, the book contains a number of personal musings and artistic reflections on the right moment in various forms and kinds of imagination  visual, literary, and philosophical. <br/><br/>

 

<i>The Right Moment</i> originates in a festive symposium held at the Francqui Foundation in Brussels on 18 and 19 October 2018 in honour of Barbara Baert, Laureate of the 2016 Francqui Prize in Human Sciences. <br/><br/>
