:p

Tu peux aussi trouver quelque chose chez Hawthorne et "la lettre écarlate" (religion comme puissance morale dans la société des pilgrim fathers)

J'ai pas grand-chose dans le genre sur ma bibliothèque!? Sinon, peut-être :

Un petit Christ.
Un daible.
Une lutte intestine pour posséder L'Art alchimique transcendant.
Un Dieu bien moins hypothétique que dans les saintes écritures.
Une arme apocalyptique figée comme une épée de Damoclès dans une boucle temporelle.

Attaque-toi aux quelques six cent cinquante pages de "Secret Show" by Clive Barker, un américain qui semble savoir de quoi il parle. Cauchemars assurés!

"...Car tous veulent l'Art, clé de Quiddity, l'océan au rivage des rêves. Vous connaissez Quiddity. Vous l'avez visité le jour de votre naissance, peut-être aussi au cours de votre première nuit d'amour. Vous y nagerez de nouveau, au moment de votre mort..."
(Extrait du quatrième de couverture.)

Ah, si la théologie romanesque existait...

Dans ma philosophie personnelle, le principal lien discutable entre l'art et la religion, c'est l'argent. Un vrai triangle des bermudes auquel rien ne résiste.

Bon c'est franco-francais, mais je penserais aussi a Bossuet, dont les sermons sont des oeuvres litteraires a part entiere, ou a Bourdaloue. Et puis il y a tonton Bergson, avec ses Deux sources de la Morale et de la Religion...

In spite of the strong controversial images America carries to the rest of the world where it seems that whores and nuns live on the same street, sometimes under the same roof (or at least a lounge singer who is forced to hide in a convent disguised as a nun in Sister Act, 1992,) religion is more than omnipresent in the American culture because of its use in art – whatsoever the medium. It could be in paintings, poetry, novel, music, television, and cinema.

Many believed that religion would be in decline because of the massive modernisation of the country, the multiculturalism, the cult of the ego – which peak was in the 80’s - and essentially the increase of alternative religions or other system of beliefs, but the work of many artists lately has been reflected the contrary.

As already input, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a good example of ultra religious novel, depicting the strong measures that were taken when one was not following the right faith (labelled as a witch or ending up condemned to death.
Either when she used to be a Catholic or now on as a follower of the Kabbalah, Madonna has been known throughout her career to be highly inspired by religion or the system of belief she is following in the imagery used in her videos Like a Prayer, Justify My Love or within her lyrics, Like A prayer, Nothing Fails. She has even directly sung prayers or Bible verses within some of her songs such as Act of Contrition and the Beast Within. Lately, she has been pushing the envelope a bit further by writing children’s book inspired from the teachings of Kabbalah or having parts of her latest the Re-Invention Tour being more like a massive connection to God, with the use of what is called the 72 Names of God (one of the many tools being used in Kabbalah,) the 10 Sfirots and other imagery.
Television shows such as "Highway to Heaven" and "Touched by an Angel,"
Hidden religious messages in movies such as the fight against the Dark Force in the "Star Wars" trilogy and now ‘sexology’!!! (In that respect, the trilogy Lord of the Rings could be taken into account but it is English literature.) Or Spiritual messages such as nothing is like it seems as well depicted in the Matrix trilogy.
Many movies such as The fighting Temptations, Keeping the Faith, Stigmata. Or other movies that are treating the subject of the Revelation, including End of Days, the Omen, or the Satan imagery in Advocates’ Devil and the famous Exorcist.

DKP : thanks, that's very interesting and may help me for my essay ! :)
