Mock Ritual in the Modern Era explores the complex interrelations
between ritual and mockery, the latter of which is not infrequently
the unofficial face of claims to rationality. McGinnis and Smyth
consider how the mocking and parodying of ritual often associated
with modern rationalism may itself become ritualized, and other
ways in which supposedly sham ritual may survive its "outing." This
volume traces the evolution of "mock ritual" in various forms
throughout the modern era, as found in literary, historical, and
anthropological texts as well as encyclopedias, newspapers, and
films. Mock Ritual in the Modern Era places famous eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century authors in dialogue with contemporary popular
culture, from Diderot, Sterne, and Flaubert to the TV shows
Survivor and Judge Judy, and from Voltaire to the Charlie Hebdo
tragedy of 2015. Ritualistic and mock ritualistic aspects of comedy
and ridicule are considered along with those, notably, of
sexuality, medicine, art, education, and justice.
L'evolution des doctrines dans les Universites medievales s'est
achevee aux XIVe et XVe siecles avec la predominance d'un
nominalisme dont les historeins cherchent encore le sens, dans
l'espoir de comprendre le passage de la pensee du Moyen Age a la
pensee moderne. Paul Vignaux, professeur a l'Ecole pratique des
Hautes Etudes puis a l'Institut d'Etudes medievales de l'Universite
de Montreal, se propose de definir ce nominalisme sur l'exemple de
son initiateur, Guillaume d'Ockham. La presente conference,
consacree a la theorie de la connaissance ockhamiste, restaure une
exacte problematique du nominalisme dans l'histoire doctrinale du
Moyen Age
