Editorial Reviews
Stephanie Meyer, fan (posted on CDBABY.COM)
It is a rare artist who is able to create songs that go straight to the listener's emotional center.

Product Description
These are 6 very finely crafted songs centered around the piano. Michael's songwriting style brings to mind artists like Joe Jackson, Steely Dan, and Ben Folds. His singing is very passionate and inspired, and the songs have strong hooks that stay with the listener.

More Drama" are four new tracks, not a one of which is a throwaway: "We Ride (I See the Future)" coasts on attitude and a hand-clappy beat; "King & Queen," a duet with John Legend, seems spun from some ecstatic fantasy; "You Know" breaks itself down to a dizzy-headed disco vibe; and opener "Reflections (I Remember)" is a proud look back on a lifetime of heartbreak and healing. It may not be as definitive a disc as some would like, but in determining whether to buy it, take a cue from Mary J.: don't hold back. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

To state that 2006 was one of the biggest years of Mary J Blige's career isn't hype. It is truth. In 2006 there was no bigger story or artist, in any genre, than Mary J Blige. Thanks to a chart-topping album, history making #1 single, galvanizing television appearances and a sold out tour, 2006 became the 12-month span in which the multiple platinum selling, Grammy winning Queen of Hip Hop Soul scaled new creative, personal and commercial heights. So after all of those dazzling achievements what does Mary J do to top it? Simple. She rewards her fans by recording yet another classic in the making - REFLECTIONS - A RETROSPECTIVE.

A much anticipated and long awaited collection Reflections -A Retrospective not only gathers together all Mary J's timeless greatest hits but features FOUR NEW GREATEST HITS TO BE - the first of which is the hot single "We Ride (I See The Future"). Spanning the entirety of Mary J's spectacular 15-year career Reflections- A Retrospective is more than a greatest hits collection. It's a soulful shout out to Mary J's loyal fans, and a celebration of the year when one of R&B's most influential singers "broke through" bigger than ever.

Released on December 20th, 2005, Mary's 7th cd The Breakthrough debuted at #1, and sold an astonishing 727,163 copies its first week: making it not just the best opening week for a solo R&B female artist in SoundScan history but the biggest opening week of 2006 to date. Period. Yet even more explosive than The Breakthrough's success was the album's lead off single "Be Without You". Written and produced by BRYAN MICHAEL COX and JONATA AUSTIN (the same creative team responsible for "We Ride (I See The Future"), "Be Without You" had the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B charts on lock; and stayed there for a record breaking 15 straight weeks. "Be Without You" was not only the biggest hit of Mary's already brilliant career, it entered the history books by becoming the longest-running No. 1 song on the R&B chart since it was reintroduced, after a brief hiatus, in 1965. You'd have to go back to 1949 to find a #1 song with as lengthy a chart run as "Be Without You."

The Breakthrough was equally dominant. The emotive CD was the recipient of universal critical acclaim, with Vanity Fair declaring, "...she's still the Queen..." USA Today stating "Another Blige `Breakthrough' ...Blige still touches souls..." and the Boston Globe hailing the cd as "...a start-to-finish triumph."

Fans also felt The Breakthrough's power. Following Mary's stellar performance on the 2006 Grammy Awards, (dueting with U2 on their ballad "One"), The Breakthrough recaptured the top spot on the Billboard 200. Along with that electrifying appearance -which the St. Petersburg Times declared was "chills-inducing" - Mary also performed on the finales of "Dancing With the Stars" and "American Idol", "Oprah", and the ABC soap "One Life To Live".

RON FAIR, Chairman of Geffen Records says of Mary's success "Mary J. Blige has reached the defining moment of her life - as a vocalist, as a songwriter, and as a human being. Her new album "Reflections- A Retrospective" is an essential collection of songs that solidifies Mary as one of the greatest recording artists of all time. Anyone who has ever suffered loss, experienced pain, been in trouble, gave love or been loved, can find themselves in the music of Mary J. Blige."

With her landmark 1992 cd What's The 411 Mary J Blige became R&B's standard bearer, setting both its sound and style. Since that debut Mary has earned 3 Grammys, had 7 multi platinum albums, lent her support to a slew of high profile charities and earned the unqualified respect of fans, critics and her fellow performers. With a soulful power that knows no equal, Mary J Blige owned 2006 and the Queen continues her reign with Reflections - A retrospective.

Customer Reviews:

A brief review from someone on the outside looking in..........2007-08-01

The first time I heard Mary doing "Family Affair", I had to drop everything I was doing and pay attention. This song is a serious groove! If you can get a boring, middle-aged, middle-class, suburban white guy to shake his money-maker, you're truly on to something! It made me take the time to get on-line and go through the rest of her catalogue.

Unfortunately, what I discovered was that this artist has gone out of her way to focus on slow-burning soul music. Granted, she is very effective in this role (what a beautiful voice!). But she seems to spend too much time vacillating between slow, sexy songs (reminiscent of the Staple Singers "I'll Take You There") and slow, bitter songs of love gone wrong, life on the street, etc. I'd like to see an album from her that mines this "Family Affair" energy and strength. This song says "I know something you don't. Let's Go. Follow me.". It's a perfect blend of her soulful instincts and traditional hip-hop bravado.

Mary needs to find a producer that can present her in this light. It's not too late. Madonna put out a great techno album in the twilight of her career ("Ray of Light") which put some of her earlier (bubblegum) efforts to shame. Overall, the "Reflections" collection is a little "milquetoast" for someone as supremely talented as Mary J. Blige.

There was an attempt (several years ago) to give Mary's music some added punch-a cd entitled "Dance For Me". It had some nice moments but some of it sounded forced and unnatural. It's an album full of remix experiments which speeded up Mary's music to the point where you couldn't always get the full effect of her subtle, soulful delivery. She needs to find a middle ground, in my humble (and somewhat uninformed) opinion.

Sidenote: Her cross-over collaborations with Sting (from "The Police") and Bono (from "U2") are both excellent.

Absolutely amazing.......2007-07-03

I knew MJB could sing, but this album proves beyond any doubt that she's amazing. Each song was awesome and the overall feel is the best yet. Don't even think about passing this one up. It's a must have.

A great introduction with a...wilfully commercial air........2007-05-27

Although sequenced non chronologically, "Reflections" is a fascinating insight into Mary J Blige's evolution as both a woman and artist, from street savvy youth fighting to get her family out of the Schlobam housing projects in Yonkers, New York, to hip hop soul pioneer wrestling her own personal demons to the reigning queen of soul at one with her world.
Although itis indeed a retrospective collection of songs spanning the R&B superstar's 15 year career, it also boasts four brand spanking new tracks, including her hot single "We Ride (I See the Future)".
Highlights include the yearning, Chaka Khan influenced funk of "Real Love"; the Norman Whitfield penned soul ballad "I'm Goin' Down" - in which Blige comes across like Aretha Franklin at her most pure and tormented - and the cathartic gospel tinged pop of "As" (featuring George Michael).

Of course, at only 18 tracks it could be argued "Reflections" is too short for someone with such a rich back catalogue as Blige ("Mary Jane", "All That I Can Say" and "Not Today", for example, are noticeably absent), but this is nitpicking.

Brimming with timeless slices of soul, "Reflections" serves as an excellent introduction for anyone looking to explore Blige's work for the first time, while the very thought of a few fresh cuts is sure to satisfy fans' thirst for new material until her next studio album arrives.

Nice compilation of hu\its, nice new songs........2007-05-12

Love it. She have a great voice and can fill it up with pure emotions.

Mary J. 5++++ stars, but this release is not a true retrospective, not even for casual fans.......2007-05-06

I flat out love Mary J. Blige. From the first time I heard her sing "Real Love" in 1992 (that's 15 years ago!) until the amazing 4 new songs on this "retrospective" release, she has proven to be she's here to stay as she has the brains and raw power that comes across in the way she connects with her songs.

While Amazon usually gets things right, it wrongly states in its product description that this release is a "reward" to her fans after making her critically and commercially praised "The Breakthrough," when in reality this retrospective was initially being pushed by her record label to cash in on the 2005 holiday season. Mary J. refused to go along with the plan and pushed hard for the release of "The Breakthrough" before any greatest of release. The importance here lies in that Geffen was ready to release Le Monde roman, 1060-1220. Les Royaumes d'Occident

Paul Van Dyk's pop sense dominates Reflections, giving his squeaky-clean progressive trance a catchy, yet disposable weightlessness. As a DJ, Van Dyk is beyond human, existing in that rarefied "superstar DJ" realm filled with exotic locales and sweat-soaked masses of young, beautiful fans. But on record, his reputation as a master spinner takes a backseat to his songwriting/production work. Even 2001's The Politics of Dancing, billed as the DJ's first proper mix record, was given a dollop of post-production gloss. Too often, there's a feeling something is missing, that blood and sweat has been replaced with something cold and muted. With a variety of guest vocalists on hand, Reflections comes close to a proper "crossover" record without taking the verse-chorus-verse plunge, and this actually gives it some heart. Jan Johnston's cheerful mantra on "Like a Friend," for instance, makes for a lovely bounce, like a lullaby with a beat. More often though, the ear drifts into a nostalgic desire for early mornings spent in dark clubs, listening to Van Dyk spin music with a little more meat on its bones. --Matthew Cooke

A decent trance CD.......2006-11-02

I never really got into the electronic scene until a few months ago, but I started with some hard stuff, then decided to get some trance. This was one of my first Trance albums, and it's a decent CD.

One thing I can say for certain is that most of the good music can be found in the first half of the album. All the music (minus Like a Friend) on the first half is very well produced and the vocals and the music were mixed brilliantly. That being said, after track 8, Never Forget, the mix between vocals and music doesn't seem natural and didn't feel as lovely as the beginning of the cd did.

One of my favorite tracks is Time of Our Lives, which is a slightly harder trance song, but the construction of the song and the feeling brought through the beat really makes me happy. One of my least favorite tracks is the next song Like a Friend. In this song, it doesn't feel that the music flowed with the vocals at all, which didn't feel like it belonged on the record alongside the other songs.

Shows you what we knew............2006-03-27

OK, I admit it, I'm a huge PVD fan since 2001 and I own most of his CDs. When this one came out I had such a totally different expectation that I was offended with its departure from Paul's usual style. POD-1 and "Out there and Back" were soooo different than this. When I heard snippets of "Reflections" on the Amazon site, I regretfully decided it wasn't for me and moved on.

Fast forward to today....I just decided to give "Reflections" a second chance after seeing the special 2-CD edition in a store on sale. Well, unbelievably, I was not disappointed at all. I have decided that this CD was ahead of its time because it does not sound at all outrageous or lame to me now, especially after hearing Paul's "Politics of Dancing 2" and some other artists' newer stuff. It is not uncommon for popular musical artists to want to branch out, and even when I felt disappointed in this music I didn't anticipate that PVD was going to hell in a handbasket, just that he was going to attempt some different sounds. Oakenfold did it successfully, so why shouldn't PVD? PVD is still making music in his signature style, so what's the big deal if he ventures into other sounds once in a while? Also, I have to hand it to him that he can grow and evolve and still produce what I consider great music.

I think it is the mark of a true fan to appreciate all the styles of a truly great artist, and to be able to evolve with them into a more mature and modern sound. To be hung up on only one type of sound that existed circa 1999 and trash everything else an artist comes out with even if it is good (like this CD is, or obviously it wouldn't have garnered a Grammy nomination) is to be a person who is stuck in a musical rut and refuses to come out! Expand your horizons, you may be surprised at how your feelings may change after giving this CD another chance and listening it for more than a few times.

PVD, true maestro in the DJ world!.......2006-03-09

This was my first serious listen to PVD's work, and I gotta' say, I love it. In general, I'm a big fan of DJ-styled electronica (Tiesto, BT, Sasha, etc.) and this album ranks up there with the best. Love the vocals by Jan Johnston. My favorite track of the album is opening one, "Crush", although I also love "Reflections" and "Buenaventura".

Simply a great album.......2005-08-18

Well for FOOLS who don't understand this Godfather i'll tell ya.

Paul Van Dyk has serious emotional beats that makes you cry, or Reminds you of your own life.

He has won many awards in his hometown in Berlin, other german cities and around the world.(Don't belive me go to PvD's website.)
Reflections almost won a grammy but got beaten by Basement Jaxx's "Kish Kash" but is still good.

Reflections, Connected and Nothing but You are the singles that I enjoy.

Worth the money!

great album.......2005-05-20

well everyone knows by now that reviews mean jack. Here is another fine example. Get this album because Van Dyk has made a turn for the better. No more repetitive beats. Its a new era and a new Van Dyk much welcomed. Obviously if you like the trance from 99 then your time is up. Stop listening to music. But if you like the new style pick this one up. it will not disappoint.

David Russell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but his family moved to Spain while he was still a young boy so he could study music in the birthplace of classical guitar. On Reflections of Spain, Russell plays the music of his childhood home with all the joy you would expect from someone revisiting a beloved place. Russell's formidable technique is powered by a keen intelligence and tempered by an emotional delivery. He plays chestnuts like Tarrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" and Albeinez's "Austurias" with a fond intimacy that rescues them from cliché. Perhaps the finest moments on the CD are Russell's guitar arrangements of four of Granados's compositions. Although Granados wrote pieces like "Danza Melancolia" and "Andaluza" for piano, Russell's thoughtful versions remind us that the folk dances that inspired them were originally accompanied by the guitar. David Russell is one the finest classical guitarists to emerge in recent years, and his playing on Reflections of Spain is a near perfect wedding of technique and temperament. --Michael Simmons
Customer Reviews:

Fuller versions of two classics .......2007-07-29
One additional element worth noting: David Russell plays the "full" versions of both 'Recuerdos de La Alhambra' (Tarrega) and 'Sevilla' (Albeniz)on this recording. He plays all the repeats in Recuerdos, which times out at 5:31, almost twice the length of most recordings due to the repeats. Hey, the more of Russell's liquid-smooth tremolo we get, the better! On 'Sevilla' Russell repeats the entire 'A' section at the end. Nearly all guitarists in the past (Segovia, Williams, Bream, etc. etc.) have played the piece with a curtailed A section at the end.
The Granados arrangements are wonderful. Russell's sheet music arrangements of Spanish Dances 5 and 10 and 'La Maja de Goya' are available - it's great to have a clean, modern arrangement of the Spanish Dance #10 in particular.
Exquisite music.......2007-06-09
This is my most favorite CD. David Russell has exquisite taste and exquisite execution. He is an absolute master of the classic Spanish guitar, and he shows off this mastery in this beautiful CD. Each piece is a joy to savor. His crystalline technique makes this a superb addition to anyone's collection. You will smell the lemon blossoms in the courtyard of the Mezquita in Cordoba when you listen to this marvelous recording.
beautiful reflections.......2006-07-07
Having just returned to England after a long spell living in Spain I was searching for an evocative suite of Spanish guitar music to accompany my extensive array of photographic studies. Being familiar with the work 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra' I was immediately attracted to this compilation: 'Reflections of Spain'. The music was a revelation. David Russel made the guitar sing lyrically, recalling many bitter sweet moments of life in Iberia. The light and shade of the choices included covered such a broad scope as to fit my purpose exactly and give enjoyment better than I could have hoped for.
The Best.......2006-04-16
This is the best Spanish guitar CDs that I have found. Even with "Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces" having more tracks and two CDs, this is better material. I am not saying that "33 Guitar Masterpiece" was bad, I actually rate it second. No need to skip through "Reflections" like many other compilations of this mixed type CD. The quaility is crisp but lower overall peak (loudness) sound compared to some of my other CDs. Read reviews of other CDs of this type because there is many that have substandard recording measures. I believe this is a must for the any guitar lover!!!
Yet another Spanish guitar music...........2006-03-09
Like every one else I have probably heard all other worthy versions of most of these tunes....I happened to find out about David Russell via reading a bio of Barrios and recommended recordings....it said...Dave Russell is the man...I had not heard of him before that...I got the CD...and WOW...!!then I got interested in his music so I bought anything I could from him including the Aire latino , plays Bach and this one....this guy was born to play the classical guitar...

This is the first artist that I hear uses proper dynamics in his performance...the rest of the pack do not nearly use the guitar as a guitar they use it just another vehicle to play a composition....David's strumming...pulling pushing the music and his singing tone is above all others...not as controled as other classical players....if people played the guitar as a guitar not as a lute..or harpsicored or a piano...then this is what it should sound like...acoustic guitar's range is very limited ...but in the hands of a master...there are no limits....

Un incontournable dans l'oeuvre de Heidegger.
Ce recueil de textes constitue une pièce maîtresse dans l'oeuvre de Heidegger. L'auteur éclaire notament ses vues sur la question de la technique dont on sait qu'elle a partie liée avec la question de l'art entendue in fine comme mode de déploiement de la vérité. L'occasion aussi pour Heidegger, par le biais d'une élucidation de ce qu'"habiter" signifie pour l'homme, de mettre à jour le Quadriparti qui d'emblée et pour toujours structure le Séjour du Dasein en tant que Mortel. Enfin les trois derniers textes sont consacrés à l'étude des fragments d'Héraclite, par oÃ¹ l'on voit la nécessité pour la pensée contemporaine de se resituer dans l'orbe de l'écoute de la parole des premiers penseurs afin de replacer la pensée dans un nouveau commencement plus à même d'interroger l'Etre en son origine impensée depuis le site d'une aube nouvelle, d'un nouveau matin de la pensée dont la clarté provient de cette "lumière nuiteuse", de cette "allotrion phos" dipensée par le soleil noir de l'Etre.

Another reviewer declares Barrowman to be requiring voice lessons, as he is "untechnical," personally I detected no flaws here, as Barrowman's voice is vigorous, able to lull or pontificate as per the arrangements, so either sweet or bombastic, the full range is offered here.

It is true Barrowman is more pop/showtune vocalist (though not weak-voiced at all) than sublime operatic tenor in the way of Patrick Wilson (who can also sing rock; a great versatile and strong lyric tenor - where is his solo CD? I keep asking myself). But other "untrained" excellent singers of the past have been Sinatra and Garland, and they managed to convey great emotion, and that shines over technical brilliance in what stands the test of time. In re "technique" Barrowman is obviously superior to Sinatra, with much greater range, which is showcased here, which is not a putdown of Sinatra, who was never a Broadway-based performer, or required that power or range.

On this CD, it would be surprising if someone couldn't find a favorite selection amongst this collection of gems; as Barrowman chose wisely, so little known songs are in competition with show signature tunes, yet they all have equal pride of place.

One puzzlement: The surprise closing number, supposed to be a duet between Barrowman and his mother, is missing on my CD, so perhaps it was deleted on later issuings.

If I had to steer someone to Barrowman's voice and music I would steer them in this direction, rather than the Swings Cole Porter, as here his vocal talents are more showcased.

Apocalyptica Experiments.......2006-03-07
After Apocalyptica released Cult, the band went through some issues together. The returned to the studio to record Reflections, this time with only 3 members (2 from the original lineup) and included more percussion (which they barely touched on Cult). This album features no metal covers at all, which takes away from what made them so addicting in the first place, however t L'oeuvre ouverte

Customer Review:
Une oeuvre critique majeure
Cet ouvrage d'Umberto Eco se compose de six chapitres et d'une Â« Conclusion Â».

En premier lieu, l'auteur développe le concept de poétique de l'oeuvre ouverte selon lequel Â« toute oeuvre d'art, alors même qu'elle est forme achevée et "close" dans sa perfection d'organisme exactement calibré, est "ouverte" au moins en ce qu'elle peut être interprétée de différentes façons sans que son irréductible singularité en soit altérée. Â» Prenant l'exemple de l'oeuvre de Kafka, Eco souligne que Â« les interprétations existentialiste, théologique, clinique, psychanalytique des symboles kafkaïens n'épuisent chacune qu'une partie des possibilités de l'oeuvre. Celle-ci demeure inépuisable et ouverte parce qu'ambiguë. Â» De même, il est un mode d' Â« ouverture Â» qui se caractérise chez Sartre par une polarité de l'infini et du fini, substituée au dualisme traditionnel de l'être et du paraître, polarité Â« qui situe l'infini au coeur même du fini Â» ajoute Eco, en concluant sur le fait que Â« chaque phénomène est dès lors "habité" par un certain pouvoir, "le pouvoir de se dérouler en une série d'apparitions réelles ou possibles." Â»

Le second chapitre s'intitule Â« Analyse du langage poétique Â», dans lequel Eco définit ce langage non comme Â« une organisation de stimuli naturels comme le faisceau de photons qui excite la vue Â» mais comme Â« une organisation de stimuli réalisée par l'homme et, comme la forme artistique, un fait artificiel. Â» Le langage est Â« ce qui fonde toute communication. Â» Le langage poétique contient un Â« halo d'ouverture Â» propre à toute phrase, un message qui est Â« plurivoque Â».

Le chapitre trois a pour titre Â« Ouverture, information, communication Â» oÃ¹ l'auteur analyse la théorie de l'information en comparant entre autres le discours poétique et le discours informationnel.

Le quatrième chapitre a pour objet d'étude Â« L'Informel comme oeuvre ouverte Â» oÃ¹ Eco soutient le fait que Â« l'Informel est ouvert parce qu'il constitue un "champ" de possibilités interprétatives, une configuration de stimuli dotée d'une indétermination fondamentale, parce qu'il propose une série de "lectures" constamment variables, parce qu'il est enfin structuré comme une constellation d'éléments qui se prêtent à diverses relations réciproques. Â» L'Informel est un terme propre à l'art pictural et se caractérise par la présence du mouvement.

Le cinquième chapitre s'attache à rendre compte de Â« l'expérience télévisuelle et de l'esthétique Â» et a pour titre Â« Le hasard et l'intrigue Â». Ici Eco reproche à Â« l'esthétique télévisuelle Â» de manquer d'ouverture en raison de sa propension à vouloir satisfaire à tout prix Â« les exigences et les attentes du public Â». En regard de quoi, Eco propose une forme nouvelle de prise de vue en direct qui mettrait l'accent sur Â« l'indétermination profonde des événements quotidiens. Â»

Enfin, le sixième et dernier chapitre, que composent trois sous-ensembles, s'intitule Â« De la "Somme" à "Finnegans Wake" Â» oÃ¹ Eco analyse les poétiques de James Joyce. Une phrase qui semble assez bien résumer cette dernière partie est celle-ci : Â« Ce qui est, chez saint Thomas, soumission à l'objet et à sa splendeur devient, chez Joyce, un procédé pour séparer l'objet de son contraste habituel, l'assujettir à de nouvelles lois, lui attribuer une splendeur et une valeur nouvelles par une vision créatrice. Â» Ã€ cela on peut ajouter la définition qu'Eco donne de l'épiphanie joycienne : il s'agit, au début de l'oeuvre de Joyce, d' Â« une manière de voir le monde, et par conséquent d'un certain type d'expérience intellectuelle et émotive. Â» Ensuite l'épiphanie devient Â« une manière de retailler la réalité et de lui donner une forme nouvelle. Â» L'épiphanie apparaît comme l'apanage du poète, Â« celui qui, dans un moment de gêne, découvre l'âme profonde des choses ; mais il est également celui qui donne à cette âme une existence objective par le seul moyen du verbe poétique. L'épiphanie est à la fois une "découverte" du réel et sa "définition à travers le langage." Â»

Concernant Â« Finnegans Wake Â», Eco conclue en disant que ce livre Â« ne nous fournit plus aucun moyen d'avoir prise sur le monde Â» puisqu'il doit se concevoir moins comme Â« un traité de métaphysique Â» que comme Â« un traité de logique formelle. [...] L'univers attend notre définition , ajoute Eco : le livre nous fournit les instruments pour une définition de l'infinité des formes possibles de l'univers. Entre l'image du monde qu'il nous propose et le projet que nous pouvons former de nous mouvoir dans le monde, il n'y a plus aucun rapport. Â»

Ainsi, Â« L'oeuvre ouverte Â» d'Umberto Eco donne à voir le langage comme un ensemble de structures profondément ancrées dans l'aventure humaine et, pour cette raison, demeure un remarquable outil d'interprétation et de lecture du monde social et culturel oÃ¹ nous vivons, faisant prendre conscience au lecteur des limites et des rouages de celui-ci grâce à l'art et à la clairvoyance d'un auteur virtuose.

Une référence d'autorité
La modestie est de rigueur devant un ouvrage de cette ampleur et de cette qualité. Simplement, nous dirons qu'il n'y à aucune raison valable de penser que l'Oeuvre ouverte ne continuera pas à résister au passage du temps pour les décennies à venir. Beaucoup de travaux d'analyse sémiologique ont été produits depuis le "tournant linguistique" des années soixante, mais ceux d'entre eux qui son aptes à nous éclairer sur "la vie des signes dans la société" en demeurant clairs, intelligibles, non-contradictoires et cohérents dans les multiples facettes qu'ils abordent sont moins nombreux. L'Oeuvre ouverte compte parmi ces travaux, qui ont ouvert - justement - des voies riches, et surprenantes, de travail loin d'être épuisées à l'heure actuelle.
Umberto Éco manie son sujet (en bref, la position qu'occupe dans l'histoire l'ouverture des oeuvres d'art à une pluralité de possibilités d'interprétation irréductibles et les caractéristiques structurales propres à "l'ouverture") et ses outils d'analyse avec une aisance souveraine et une claire conscience des enjeux qui se posent à la considération de "l'oeuvre la plus ouverte dont il nous soit permis de parler" : celle de James Joyce.
L'analyse de cette oeuvre, dans la deuxième partie du livre, devrait figurer comme pré-requis à toute critique joycienne sérieuse.
