Préface éditoriale à TYR vol. 1

TYR

1,750 words

Le thème dominant dans la plus grande partie de l’art et de la littérature produits pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle fut l’aliénation. Les auteurs parlaient de l’« âge de l’angoisse ». Ils décriaient le règne matérialiste de la « quantité sur la qualité », l’absence de toute valeur spirituelle significative, la rupture des relations entre les sexes, la dévastation de l’environnement, la mécanisation et la spécialisation excessive de la vie urbaine, et l’impérialisme de la mono-culture collective, avec ses « valeurs » vulgaires du progrès et de l’efficacité.

The latter couple are both seeking some fulfilling way to live in, or in spite of, the modern world. Read more …
