Summary:
How has reproduction transformed works of art and literature, their dissemination and their reception? And how does it continue to do so? In what ways have our definitions and practices of reproduction changed over the last centuries thanks to new printing, photographic and digital techniques? These questions are timely. From the medieval copy to contemporary digital culture, including the rise of the printing press and engraving techniques in the Renaissance and the Ancien Regime, myriad modes of reproduction informed both our access to texts and images and our ways of reading, seeing, understanding, discovering and questioning the world. Dans quelle mesure la reproduction transforme-t-elle les ¿uvres, leur diffusion et leur reception? De quelles manieres les conceptions et les usages de la reproduction ont-ils subi des transformations majeures au cours des derniers siecles avec la diffusion des pratiques d'impression, de la photographie et des techniques numeriques? Ces questions sont d'une actualite incontournable. De la copie medievale a la culture numerique contemporaine, en passant par l'essor de l'imprimerie et les techniques de gravure a la Renaissance et sous l'Ancien Regime, les differents modes de reproduction informent non seulement nos acces aux textes et aux images, mais aussi nos manieres de lire, de voir, de comprendre, decouvrir et d'interroger le monde.
