The present study is focused on Ezra Pound's two book-length essays, ABC of Reading and Guide to Kulchur, reading them from the perspective of what Ezra Pound first-called in a letter from 1927 to his father the "subjectrhyme" - namely "an ideogram of space and time", as Pound also calls it somewhere else, that superposes heteregeneous cultural spaces and periods and constructs a sophisticated ideogram proving the strange continuities contiguities of beauty. Thus, reformations in art are for Pound always stemming deep into the tradition; and they involve not only the matter of literature - but essential matters concerning the human from economics, monetary theory, anthropology, history of the arts, history of philosophy etc. The "subject-rhyme" shows both how the complicated nature of beauty is a heteregenous ideogram traversing time - and also how it collects essential information about the human from various fields of knowledge, in order to reinvent the human on a superior scale - what Dante called trasumanare (Paradise, I 70).

Space and time are notions in the realm of physics, from the perspective of Greek etymology - the real world, metaphysics is what goes beyond the real or outside the realm. From ontological optics in the Hellenic world, chaos is perceived as something that existed before order, an order in ancient Greek is called the "cosmos." Which means that the cosmic premiere was chaos. Of these, two chaos and a priori cosmos are given to order, though the dark source is hidden from the dark chaos. However, the elements of chaos in the ancient vision will be found in another form in the world of the dead, the world of shadows, where Hades reigns in Greek "invisible". Respectively, chaos appears as a precursor to order, light, time. From Mircea Eliade's perspective, order and chaos know frontiers in human evolution, knowing the conscious significance of the sacred. Linguist mathematician Solomon Marcus capitalizes chaos on another coordinate of physical matter. From the point of view of mythical thinking, the general advocate for order, yet in the defiance of order there is a heroic admiration. Such as stealing fire or defying death by Orpheus, Sisyphus, Hercules, empirical knowledge of Odysseus of what is forbidden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we intend to look at how one of the most common concepts of taboo in the French ethnology, reflected in the studies of Emile Durkheim and Arnold Van Gennep. For Emile Durkheim, every cult has a double look: one negative, the other positive. In the chapter devoted to the main ritual attitudes, the author reserves a very generous space to the interdiction analysis, which he calls a negative cult. In the negative cult, Durkheim distinguishes two types of prohibitions: religious and magical. The difference between the two categories is the nature of the prohibitions. According to his opinion, the religious prohibition comes from the respect that the sacred object inspires, while the magic ones are based on the profane sense of ownership and have a pragmatic character. Of particular significance are the author's judgments about the system of prohibitions related to sacred/profane space and time, which can be reduced to two fundamental, predominant interdictions: religious life and profane life can not coexist within the same space and within the same time units. Unlike Durkheim, Arnold Van Gennep defines the taboo as galloping, summarizing, placing it imperatively in the category of negative rites and reducing its essence to a complementary reaction to a volunteer act. It is noteworthy that both ethnologists draw attention to the quasi-generic character of interdictions and the determinant role they play in the context of folk culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The poetic story is a particular type of literary form that appeared at the end of the 19th century, originating from the innovative efforts of some poets like Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Mallarmé. The poetic story gets beyond the frame of poetry, placing characters in a specified or an unspecified period of time and in a space that can be defined or not. Jean-Yves Tadié's work, "Le récit poétique", admirably treated the problematics of this hybrid literary form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I try to identify and to analyse perception of time and space relating to perspective of quantum physics and of psychology applied to the observation and the acuteness of consciousness, as well as the representation and the intervention on space and time into the artistic actions of Ernest Pignon - Ernest, George Rousse and Yves Klein.
