BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Art & Rite. Le pouvoir des objets
No full textQue nous disent les textiles, sculptures, parures, masques, amulettes, instruments de musique, encensoirs ou missels de nos musées ? Comment percevoir aujourd’hui les usages et la densité de vie dont ces objets, déracinés de leur contexte d’origine et magnifiés dans des dispositifs muséographiques élaborés, sont porteurs ? Passant d’objets cultuels à objets culturels, tous ont pourtant en commun d’avoir participé à un moment de leur histoire à une pratique rituelle accompagnée de croyances, de gestes, de paroles, de sons, d’odeurs, s’inscrivant dans un ensemble d’actions qui leur donnent sens au sein d’un espace et d’un temps déterminés dans une société particulière. Art & Rite dévoile la beauté et l’étrangeté de ces objets témoins de la créativité rituelle et artistique de l’homme. Nouant un dialogue entre cultures, ces objets content l’histoire des pratiques rituelles de l’humanité. Mais l’ouvrage interroge aussi la perte de sens qu’engendre leur « embaumement » dans un musée, et observe dès lors un nouveau phénomène de ritualisation ou de « re-sacralisation » des objets à travers leur recontextualisation en milieu muséal. Ce catalogue, coordonné par Caroline Heering et Anne-Marie Vuillemenot, commissaires de l’exposition Art & Rite, Le pouvoir des objets, publie plus largement aussi le résultat des travaux interdisciplinaires menés dans le cadre du projet : « Enseignement et recherche au coeur du Musée-laboratoire » (Louvain 2020 – UCLouvain)
