This dissertation examines the interface between art, science, and technology within the French periodical L'Esprit nouveau (1920-25). Approaching the journal as an index of 19th- and early-20th-century scientific aesthetics, I consider the disciplinary polemics that informed the journal's program for a so-called esthetique vivante. I ask: how did this emphasis on vitality reflect newly medicalized regimes of psychic and social hygiene? And by what metaphors were art and architecture drawn together in their service to a techno-scientifically conceived subject?The central aim of my research is to demonstrate how concerns with energy hygiene were formative to a post-war French modernist rethinking of art and architectural practices. The journal's collaborators, I argue, take up a scientific tradition that formulates the aesthetic to intervene in the energetic linkages between the individual nervous system and the social body at large. In drawing out the socio-cultural and political valences of these new energetic paradigms, my hope is to arrive at a more nuanced vocabulary for engaging the medical preoccupations underlying our contemporary aesthetic commitments. My intended contribution is to imagine L'Esprit nouveaunot just as an episode in French modernism but as a theoretical case study in the formation of a psychological aesthetics.

520 $a Cette these examine l'interface entre l'art, la science et la technologie dans la revue francaise L'Esprit nouveau(1920-25). En abordant la revue comme un index de l'esthetique scientifique du XIXe et du debut du XXe siecle, je considere les polemiques disciplinaires qui ont nourri le programme de la revue au sujet d'une soi-disant «esthetique vivante». Je pose la question suivante : comment cet accent mis sur la vitalite reflete-t-il les nouveaux regimes medicalises d'hygiene psychique et sociale? Et quelles etaient les metaphores centrales par lesquelles l'art et l'architecture etaient reunis au service d'un sujet concu de maniere techno-scientifique?Ma recherche a pour objectif principal de demontrer comment les preoccupations relatives a l'hygiene energetique ont ete a l'origine d'une nouvelle conception de l'art et des pratiques architecturales dans le modernisme francais de l'apres-guerre. Les collaborateurs de la revue reprennent, selon moi, une tradition scientifique qui formalise l'esthetique afin d'intervenir sur les liens energetiques entre le systeme nerveux individuel et le corps social dans son ensemble. A travers la mise en evidence des valeurs socioculturelles et politiques de ces nouveaux paradigmes energetiques, mon objectif est de parvenir a un vocabulaire plus nuance pour aborder les preoccupations medicales qui sous-tendent nos engagements esthetiques contemporains. Ma contribution vise a imaginer L'Esprit nouveaunon seulement comme un episode du modernisme francais, mais egalement comme une etude de cas theorique sur la formation d'une esthetique psychologique.
