Second day of the interdisciplinary group dedicated to phage therapy and biocontrol

Résumé fourni par la source

Based on two fables from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, which feature the characters Galatea and Niobe, I will explore aesthetic and ethical perspectives. How do these two fables (and, in their continuity, a few others) that have inspired so many artists allow us to mobilize important notions in art? And how do they lead us, despite the distance, to reflect on what Jean-Luc Nancy called “the intruder,” that is, a heart grafted into one’s own body thanks to cutting-edge medical techniques? This is what I will attempt to show in a free interpretation of Ovid’s great poem, concluding with a note on Christian Boltanski’s Les Archives du cœur.
