Publisher's Synopsis

How has torture shaped art? This book explores in an unprecedented way the links between physical suffering and artistic creation. Beyond the simple representation of torture, the work analyzes how this extreme experience has modified literary and artistic forms themselves. By traversing the centuries, from antiquity to the present day, it reveals how violence has influenced discourses, genres, and artistic techniques. An essential study to understand how art, far from being a mere reflection of reality, is also a tool to question and transform the world. Comment la torture a-t-elle façonné l'art ? Ce livre explore de manière inédite les liens entre la souffrance physique et la création artistique. Au-delà de la simple représentation de la torture, l'ouvrage analyse comment cette expérience extrême a modifié les formes littéraires et artistiques elles-mêmes. En parcourant les siècles, de l'Antiquité à nos jours, il révèle comment la violence a influencé les discours, les genres et les techniques artistiques. Une étude essentielle pour comprendre comment l'art, loin d'être un simple reflet du réel, est aussi un outil pour interroger et transformer le monde.
