Heinz, Sanda Sue. "The statuettes and amulets of Thonis-Heracleion." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2015. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:db17df52-6f5b-41e5-a650-f6ad268b2c60.
Full textAbstract:
This study catalogues and analyses 329 statuettes and amulets from Thonis-Heracleion, a sunken city off the coast of Egypt that flourished between the 7th and 2nd centuries BC. This is the first study of votive statuettes and amulets from the Late and Ptolemaic Periods that presents a comprehensive corpus from a single site, complete with detailed catalogue entries and photographs. Although some of the most exceptional pieces were previously published in an exhibition catalogue, the majority are unpublished and it is the first time they have been studied and viewed as a whole. The material includes not only Egyptian-style bronzes, which are typical dedications of this period, but also a range of other materials including lead, terracotta, faience, and limestone. Some figures are represented in foreign style and attest to a small hellenized community at the site. By viewing multiple categories of votive material laterally and in context, important conclusions about cultural interactions and cult practice at Thonis-Heracleion come to light. Chapter One details the find context of the statuettes and amulets, followed by a discussion of their types and the cults to which they attest in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 outlines the objects’ primary functions and demonstrates the ways that lead and bronze were utilised differently. Chapter 4 focuses on bronze and lead production methods, particularly methods of replicable production that are indicative of technological exchange with other Mediterranean cultures. Finally, in Chapter 5, I look at how the votives reflect the cultural community at Thonis-Heracleion, and how they compare to others at sites throughout Egypt. Each chapter highlights how the archaeological context informs us about cultural interactions between Egyptians and Greeks and about the dynamics of cult practice at a Delta site in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution, forms, and function(s) of iron amulets deposited in the late Iron Age gravefields of Lovö, with the goal of ascertaining how (and so far as possible why) these objects were utilized in rituals carried out during and after burials. Particular emphasis is given to re-interpreting the largest group of iron amulets, the iron amulet rings, in a more relational and practice-focused way than has heretofore been attempted. By framing burial analyses, questions of typology, and evidence of ritualized actions in comparison with what is known of other cult sites in Mälardalen specifically– and theorized about the cognitive landscape(s) of late Iron Age Scandinavia generally– a picture of iron amulets as inscribed objects made to act as catalytic, protective, and mediating agents is brought to light.

Full textAbstract:
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es analizar el uso de las gemas en el mundo griego, en base principalmente a las fuentes clásicas. Para ello, se ha dividido la investigación en tres bloques claramente diferenciados. El primero consiste en un estudio sobre la utilización práctica o civil de las mismas así como sobre su uso terapéutico o mágico. Para ello, se han investigado, por un lado, tanto los sellos como las joyas u otros objetos domésticos, las lentes y las lupas, los ojos de las estatuas y, finalmente, la fabricación de pigmentos a partir de ciertas piedras; y, por otro lado, se ha examinado la información existente sobre lapidarios, amuletos y talismanes.
En el segundo bloque del trabajo se realiza un análisis acerca de la fabricación y el tratamiento de las gemas en el mundo griego que está fundamentado, sobre todo, en la obra de Plinio el Viejo y en los textos del Papiro de Estocolmo.
Finalmente, el último apartado de la investigación analiza, una a una, todas las gemas mencionadas en las fuentes clásicas, poniendo de manifiesto los problemas de traducción y los errores de interpretación que aparecen en algunas de las versiones revisadas en diferentes idiomas modernos. Además, se ofrece un cuadro resumen con la información gemológica de cada piedra analizada y se estudian las múltiples citas que las mencionan.The goal of this doctoral thesis is to analyze the use of gems in the Greek world, based mainly on classical sources. For this, the research has been divided into three clearly distinct sections. The first one involves a study on the practical or civil use of them as well as on their therapeutic or magical use. To do this, on one hand, both stamps and jewelry or other household objects, as well as lenses and magnifying glasses, the eyes of statues and, finally, the manufacture of pigments from certain stones have been investigated; and, on the other hand, the existing information on lapidaries, amulets and talismans has also been analyzed. In the second section of the work, the focus of the study is the manufacture and the treatment of the gems in the Greek world, having as a base, above all, the work of Pliny the Elder and the texts of the Papyrus of Stockholm. Finally, the last section of the research analyzes, one by one, all the gems mentioned in the classical sources, highlighting the problems of translation and mistakes of interpretation that are found in some of the revised versions in different modern languages. In addition, it provides a summary chart with the gemological information of each stone as well as a study of the various quotes that mention them.

Full textAbstract:
The intention of this essay is to put the light on and to discuss if there is a connection between a pre-Christian creation mythology and naked rocks on prehistoric sacred places in Scandinavia. Archaeological as well as historical materials are studied. The historical material is mostly from Snorre Sturlasons Asasagan with the explanation of the creation of the world. In this story the world was built from the body of a killed and deposited giant named Ymer. Almost the same myth is told in all Indo-European countries. Asasagsan tells about the Gods and the people in the late iron-age. Sanda in Fresna socken and Helgö in Ekerö socken, both in Uppland and both in activity in late iron-age are used as archaeological example of places where naked rocks are used as some kind of altar for rites.

Zhu, Qi. "Shi in Architecture: the Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Doors." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/27733.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the concept of shi manifested in traditional Chinese architecture by examining the efficacy of the traditional Chinese house doors. Three connotations of the concept of shi derived from different philosophical schools of thought during the Warring States Period: the advantageous shi, the authoritative shi and the self-so-doing shi, are re-engaged as the theoretical framework for this study. The three categories of shi correspondingly shed light on the understanding of the craftiness in architectural constructions, the embodied cultural meanings in building elements and the aesthetics achieved by the artful arrangement of building elements. This study also further reveals the essential nature of shi as weak and amorphous in parallel with the weak ontology proposed by Gianni Vattimo. It is this weak and amorphous nature of shi that results in the complexity, diversity and richness of traditional Chinese house doors. This new perspective of examining architecture through the lens of shi also provides a way for looking at the future development of Chinese architecture beyond the limitations of internationalism yet within the realm of a critical local modernity.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
The study discusses the role of a wet nurse regarding the protection of a child in ancient Egypt. There is evidence of the phenomenon of the wet nurse dating from the Old Kingdom’s Pyramid texts, depictions in tombs from the New kingdom, to contracts between the wet nurse and her employer from the Late Period. They were most frequent in royal and elite families and made it possible for the mother to participate in social activities without worrying about feeding her baby, as well as being a symbol for economic wealth. Wet nurses have been found depicted in funerary contexts, holding ritual protective objects, and been mentioned in protective spells targeted towards children. This shows that the wet nurse had a part in the protection of a child and the intention behind this study is to discuss her participation in it and what it involves. The sources used in this study are to contain two subjects to be of relevance: wet nurse and the protection of a child, which lead to a restricted amount of material to analyse. The material studied contains of amulets, serpent staffs, three apotropaic wands, depictions from two graves and one protective spell. The analysis resulted in a conclusion claiming that the practice of protection is a part of the wet nurse’s occupation and were practiced with at least an apotropaic wand. Moreover, the depiction of her holding apotropaic wands in funerary contexts representing rebirth shows that the wet nurse is present and offering protection in the events of a child’s birth.

Full textAbstract:
Artefacts known as amulet rings, a kind of Viking age jewellery, have often been encountered during archaeological excavations of Viking Age sites. The rings do not appear to have any practical use, but are rather considered to be of cultural or religious importance. Their exact function is however unclear, as are the details regarding the production and material choices for the rings.This study mainly examines the microstructure of samples from Viking Age amulet rings found in Dalecarlia, Sweden. To be able to conclude how much effort that was put into the rings a comparison with medieval cutting tools was conducted. Thus, the knives were made with more care in order to obtain the material properties required to give the knives the sharpness and hardness they need to function. The analysis shows that the amulet rings were made from heterogeneous low-carbon steel, indicating little or no welding and a poor-quality starting material. Were as the microstructure of the knives had homogeneous microstructures often involving perlite, showing decent carbon content.Thus, it appears that the Viking Age smiths forged the amulet rings without putting too much effort into the process.This study also involved the manufacturing of a new knife from low-carbon steel, this was done to see if it was possible to redeem carbon into the surface while forging. This however, was difficult when not having todays technical equipment at hand, thus the result was insufficient.Historiska föremål, kallade amulett ringar vilket är ett slags vikingatida smycken, har hittats vid arkeologiska utgrävningar av vikingatida boplatser. Man har inte hittat något praktiskt användningsområde för ringarna, utan de tros vara av kulturell eller religiös betydelse. Deras funktion är dock oklar, likaså detaljerna angående tillverkningen och materialvalet för ringarna.Denna studie undersöker mikrostrukturen av amulett ringar från Dalarna i Sverige. För att kunna dra slutsatser om hur mycket arbete som lades på ringarna genomförs en jämförelse med medeltida eggverktyg. Eftersom eggverktyg gjordes med omsorg för att få rätt materialegenskaper för att vara vassa och hårda kan man jämföra dessa med ringarna. Analyserna visade att amulett ringarna var gjorda av lågkolhaltigt heterogent stål som indikerar enbart lite eller ingen vällning och ett dåligt utgångsmaterial. Tillskillnad från eggverktygen som uppvisade en homogen mikrostruktur som ofta innehöll perlit vilket tyder på relativt hög kolhalt. Följaktligen framstår det som att vikingatida smeder inte la ned särskilt mycket tid i smidesprocessen vid tillverkningen av amulett ringar.Denna studie innefattar också smidet av en ny kniv från ett lågkolhaltigt stål för att se om det är möjligt att lösa in kol i ytan genom smidet. Detta var dock svårt att göra utan dagens tekniska utrustning vilket gjorde att resultatet inte visade någon uppkolning.

Full textAbstract:
Le seul ouvrage dédié exclusivement à ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler « les scarabées de cœur » est signé du Professeur Michel Malaise et date de 1978. Ce livre est depuis cette date la référence en la matière mais, en l’absence d’un corpus, les critères de datation proposés n’y peuvent être ni exhaustifs ni très précis. L’objectif de cette étude était de remédier à ces lacunes.Les scarabées de cœur étaient des amulettes disposées dans la région du cœur de la momie d’un individu, juste après son décès, afin de le protéger contre la trahison possible de son propre cœur. En effet, le défunt devait subir l’épreuve de la pesée du cœur devant un tribunal de dieux présidé par Osiris, mais c’est son cœur qui était interrogé pour savoir quelle avait été la conduite de son propriétaire lors de son passage sur la terre. Les réponses à ces questions conditionnaient l’avenir du défunt dans l’au-delà : la vie éternelle ou l’anéantissement. Pour se concilier les bonnes grâces du cœur, d’autant plus que celui-ci pouvait mentir, les amulettes étaient inscrites d’une prière choisie dans un des chapitres 26 à 30 B du Livre des Morts, suppliant le cœur d’avoir des réponses favorables devant le tribunal.La présente étude a pris huit années pour rassembler un corpus de 1400 scarabées de cœur et autres amulettes ayant la même fonction rituelle, soit probablement plus de 85% de ceux qui sont conservés dans les musées, qui sont désignés ici sous le nom générique d’« amulettes de cœur ». Ce corpus a donné lieu à l’établissement d’une typologie permettant de déterminer des séries d’amulettes présentant des caractèristiques plastiques et épigraphiques semblables qui, croisées avec celles des amulettes de date connue, qui sont soit celles dont les propriétaires sont des personnages historiques soit celles provenant de fouilles bien datées, ont conduit à la détermination de critères de datation objectifs. L’étude présente aussi les clichés de plus de 1200 amulettes avec description, une traduction des textes inscrits et une proposition de datationThe only book dealing specifically with the so-called “ Heart Scarabs” was written by Professor Michel Malaise and published in 1978. It has remained since the reference on the subject but, due to the unavailibility of a corpus, the datation criteria could not be exhaustive nor accurate. The target of this dissertation was to fill these gaps. The heart scarabs were amulets to be laid on (or in) the mummy of a person just after his death in the heart area, in order to protect him from the possible treachery of his own heart. In effect, the Dead was to be put to the test of the weighing of his heart, in front of a court of gods presided by Osiris, but it was his hesart which was interrrogated in order to know whether its owner had behaved well during his life. The answers to these questions would determine whether he would be granted an eternal life or the nothingness. In order fo gain the heart’s goodwill, especially when it might lie, the amulets were inscribed with a prayer chosen in one of the chapters 26 to 30B of The Book of the Dead. This prayer was begging his heart to make favorable answers to the court.It took eight years to gather a corpus of 1400 heart amulets and others amulets with the same ritual function, called “heart amulets” in this dissertation, a number representing likely more than 85% of the total in existence. The gathering of these amulets made possible an adapted typology to be built, which lead to the determination of series of amulets with similar shape or epigraphic characteristics to be compared with the characteristics of amulets with a known date, which are the ones the owners of which are historical persons or those originating from well dated excavations. This comparison allowed for the determination of objective datation criteria. This memoire finally presents photos of more than 1200 amulets with a description, a translation of the texts and an estimated datation

Full textAbstract:
Cover Me: Animal Defences, Armour and the Amulet is a research project undertaken through studio investigations in the field of contemporary jewellery and object design. This interrogation is presented as a body of wearable and non-wearable objects exhibited at Kudos Gallery, Sydney Australia, in May 2009 and contextualised through a written document. Historically jewellery's functions have been to denote rank, to adorn and to protect the wearer by magical means. The research investigates traditional approaches to magical jewellery- surveying the design of charms, amulets and talismans and the perceived methods of their functioning- and observes their parallels and similarities with defensive structures and behaviours such as the phenomenon of mimicry in the animal kingdom. The document presents a survey of the work of contemporary jewellery artists whose visual language is informed by natural forms and bears a remarkable numinous presence, employing this analysis to comment on humanity's relationship with and separation from nature. The works in Cover Me are developed from and framed by similar speculations and the findings anchored to the body. Through primary studio research that involves staged visual investigations of a variety of animal defences a series of drawn and material experiments have been undertaken. The findings generated in the studio have utilised the amplification and exaggeration of recurring elements. The repetitive attributes are employed to harness our instinctive reactions to animal defences and serve as the foundation for the design of a widely accessible visual vocabulary of protection. The resultant summary is articulated in metal and fibre and manifest in the series of jewellery objects. In offering itself up as an example of work where protective language symbolism can be understood as such by people from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds and as an alternative for traditional protective symbols. Cover Me attempts to mitigate the damage inflicted upon the magical jewel's perceived metaphysical protection by misappropriation where traditional amuletic devices and protective religious symbols (the Christian cross/ crucifix being a key example) are misappropriated in commercial fashion jewellery.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-22A análise das relações intertextuais encontradas na obra Macunaíma, de Mário de Andrade, é o eixo central de nosso trabalho. A pesquisa dos vários elementos que remetem a outras obras apontou para a recriação literária dos mitos clássicos, por meio da mitologia e lendas brasileiras. Nossa pesquisa buscou a fundamentação teórica de James Hollis, Mircea Eliade, Otávio Paz, Afonso Romano de SantAnna, Eneida Maria de Souza, Mikhail Bakthin, e especialmente Koch-Grümberg, dentre vários pesquisadores, com sua obra Mitos e lendas dos índios Taulipáng e Arekuná . Ao estabelecermos um diálogo entre Macunaíma e o mito dos argonautas, percebemos o caráter antropofágico do jogo intertextual elaborado por Mário de Andrade, ao parodiar os modelos do herói que sai em busca do amuleto perdido, a muiraquitã.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this investigation an anthropological and comparative approach was employed in the study of magic in the ancient Near East. Firstly, a survey was presented with regard to anthropological theories throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This forms the background against which evidence on magic with respect to the cultures of the ancient Near East is investigated. Secondly, examples of magic in the Ancient Near East was discussed, with reference to Egypt, Mesopotamia and Hittite Anatolia. Reference was made to categories such as magic spells, objects, rituals and magical experts (magicians) and various examples were discussed. Thirdly, an analysis was made about the phenomenon of magic in ancient Israel. In this context magic plays a somewhat different role in comparison to its other ancient Near Eastern neighbours. It was shown that so-called miraculous actions, miracle workers (prophets) and other religious actions (curses and blessings) in the Hebrew Bible could definitely be associated with magic. The frequent prohibitions against magical practises furthermore suggest that magic was indeed been practiced in ancient Israel.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie ondersoek met betrekking tot magie in die ou Nabye Ooste word gebruik gemaak van 'n antropologiese en vergelykende benadering. Eerstens word 'n oorsig aangebied van antropologiese teorieë met betrekking tot magie in die negentiende en twintigste eeue. Dit vorm die agtergrond waarteen die verskynsel van magie in die ou Nabye Ooste ondersoek word. Tweedens word voorbeelde van magie in die ou Nabye Ooste ondersoek, met verwysing na Egipte, Mesopotamië en die Hetiete. Spesiale aandag word gegee aan kategorieë soos magiese spreuke, magiese objekte, rituele en magiese spesialiste. Dit word toegelig met verskillende toepaslike voorbeelde. Derdens word 'n ondersoek gedoen na die aard van magie in Oud-Israel. In hierdie konteks het magie ietwat van 'n ander rol vervul in vergelyking met die ander ou Nabye Oosterse bure. Daar word aangedui dat sekere wonderdade, wonderwerkers (profete), en ander religieuse aksies (vervloekinge en seënuitsprake) in die Hebreeuse Bybel met magie geassosieer kan word. Die vele verbiedinge teen die beoefening van magie is 'n duidelike aanduiding dat magie inderdaad in Israel gepraktiseer is.

Full textAbstract:
L'Égypte a influencé les artisans carthaginois dans la création d'un art mineur s'inspirant du registre iconographique nilotique. Le cas le plus manifeste s'observe sur les amulettes. Les premières imitations locales en stéatite apparaissent à la fin du septième début du sixième siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Les premières productions locales des amulettes en faïence dateraient du début du sixième siècle. Du septième au quatrième siècles, Carthage recevait un type d'amulette commun à la côte syro-phénicienne (Atlit, Al-Mina-Sueidia, Ain-Helwan) et à Chypre cette parenté typologique laisse croire à la présence d'un centre égyptien situe au delta du Nil en rapport avec la cote syro-phénicienne et avec la Grèce. Les aegyptiaca, originaires de la vallée du Nil ou produits dans le bassin méditerranéen oriental (Phénicie, Grèce) ne transitent pas forcement par le relais sicilien, approvisionné par les grecs de Naucratis avant de parvenir à Carthage. L'intermédiaire grec et phénicien dans le trafic et la circulation des aegyptiaca dans la méditerranée reste la source principale dans l'acquisition de ces objets. Les zones des aegyptiaca les plus fréquentées par les grecs se concentrent dans l'ile de Rhodes, autour du golfe de Tarente, la Campanie, la Sicile de l'est, le nord de l’Espagne et une partie de l'Étrurie. Les itinéraires animés par les phéniciens débouchent sur la côte chypriote, les territoires étrusques, l'ouest de la Sicile, la Sardaigne, les côtes méridionales atlantiques et méditerranéennes espagnoles et Carthage. Dès le quatrième siècle avant Jésus-Christ, Carthage, centre de gestion et production de types d'amulettes et divers aegyptiaca tout à fait différents des modèles égyptiens et orientaux, va diffuser, à partir du relais situé en Sardaigne sa propre production exclusivement dans le bassin occidental méditerranéen (Ibiza, côtes ibériques, partie occidentale de la Sicile, côtes de l’Afrique du nord)The first local Carthaginian production of amulets appeared at the end of the seventh and the beginning of the sixth centuries before Jesus Christ. They are all cut in steatite. The local porcelain amulets appear only at the beginning of the fourth century. The most marked typological similarities to the Carthaginian amulets have been observed in amulets found on the Syrian-phoenician coast and in Cyprus. The various aegyptiaca of Carthage, originating in the Nile valley and in the eastern Mediterranean basin did not necessarily pass through the Sicilian relays, supplied by the Greeks from Naucratis. The various receiving zones of the aegyptiaca, in the first half of the first millenary, dominated by the Greeks, are found in the eastern part of Sicily, around the gulf of Tarento, in Campania, in one part of Etruria and in the north of Spain. The Phoenician circuits distributing aegyptiaca are found in Cyprus, southern Spain, the western half of Sicily, Etruria and Carthage. From the fourth century before Jesus Christ onwards, Carthage was to start distributing its own local production of aegyptiaca exclusively in the western Mediterranean

Resumo: Que pode aportar um conjunto de obras para a elaboração de uma memória? A literatura procura no passado, indaga nele querendo resgatar, desde uma perspectiva da memória histórica e da experiência individual, as formas de estabelecer um território que ajude a preservá-la. Assim, a memória é forjada e protegida ao fluir pelas páginas que a literatura cria, enriquecendo e transformando a realidade social e cultural na qual emerge. A proposta deste estudo se centra na reflexão da relação entre a memória e a história - os vínculos entre a memória coletiva e a memória individual - e o problema da narrativa dessa memória nas obras do escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño. Assim sendo, nosso trabalho objetiva especificamente traçar um percurso pelas profundezas da memória e do esquecimento, da barbárie e da injustiça na análise das obras Estrella distante, (1996), Nocturno de Chile (1996) e Amuleto (1999), as quais cumprem um papel chave no trabalho de consolidação de uma memória, pois nelas se reconhece sua proposta estética no campo literário latinoamericano relativo à como narrar o passado traumático da sociedade chilena durante a ditadura militar de quase duas décadas. Há nessas três histórias elementos que são essenciais para expor o questionamento que a escrita de Roberto Bolaño realiza perante a violência do Estado, na medida em que sua narrativa apresenta uma severa crítica política na recuperação do passado, desde a matança de Tlatelolco às torturas do Chile de Pinochet
Abstract: What can a set of written works influence the elaboration of a memory? Literature searches the past, questions it to rescue, from a historical memory perspective and individual experience, forms to establish a ground, which helps to preserve it. Thus, memory is forged and protected when it flows through the pages that literature creates, enriches and transforms to easily insert in social and cultural reality from where it emerges. The proposal of this study focuses on the reflection of the relationship between history and memory, the links between collective memory and individual memory, and the problems related to the narrative of this memory in the works of Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. This way, our task aims specifically to trace a way through the depths of memory and oblivion, the barbarian and evil in the analysis of the works Estrella distante (1996), Nocturno de Chile (1996) and Amuleto (1999), which play a key role in the consolidation of a memory, because in those books one is able to recognize his esthetical proposal in the Latin American literature field when he narrates the traumatic past of a society during the military dictatorship that lasted for almost two decades. There are in those three stories, elements that are essential to expose the questioning that the written works of Roberto Bolaño realizes before the violence of the State, in that his narrative presents a severe political criticism in the recovery of the past, from the killing of Tlatelolco to the torture in Chile during the Pinochet years

Full textAbstract:
En considérant le rôle important de la magie dans l’islam ainsi que dans les pays musulmans et en considérant éventuellement son rôle important dans la formation de l'univers symbolique de l'art islamique, l’étude des objets magiques peut être une nouvelle voie pour les historiens de l’art islamiques. Les travaux et les réflexions développés dans le cadre de cette thèse avaient un double objectif : d’une part, découvrir les sources thématiques et visuelles de l’univers symbolique des amulettes et talismans iraniens chiites. Ou en d’autres termes, trouver une réponse précise et claire à cette question à savoir si les éléments constituant l’iconographie des amulettes et talismans iraniens chiites sont proprement fondés sur les sources islamiques et les traditions des arabo-musulmans primitifs ? Sinon, pouvons-nous considérer d’autres sources pour ces éléments comme les mythes et les traditions artistiques plus anciennes de la Mésopotamie-Perse ? Et d’autre part, d’attirer l’attention des historiens de l’art islamique sur les thèmes des symboles – et leurs passés régionaux – figurant sur les objets magiques iraniens chiites spécifiquement et plus généralement sur l’art islamique.Ce travail, basé sur une étude stylistique et artistique ainsi qu’une étude thématique et comparative entre les éléments textuels et visuels figurant sur les 166 amulettes et talismans iraniens chiites – collectés de trois collections : des cachets, bulles et talismans islamiques du département des Monnaies, médailles et antiques de la Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, de la collection des objets du Musée du Quai Branly à Paris et de la collection des objets talismaniques iraniens (ou des objets magiques iraniens) du Musée civilisations Europe Méditerranée de Marseille (noté MuCEM) – à ceux dans l’art préislamique de la Mésopotamie-Perse. Ce travaille montre que les deux éléments textuels et picturaux sur ces objets possèdent une relation thématique fondée sur un point de vue cosmique et mythique préislamique. De plus, notre analyse démontre que la naissance de l’écriture décorative et figurative pouvait être le résultat d’un conflit idéologique-culturel entre les Arabo-musulmans conquérants et les intellectuels des pays vaincus. Notre étude démontre également que l’univers symbolique des amulettes et talismans iraniens chiites s’est formé sous l’influence des nombreux désaccords entre l’islam primitif importé par les Arabo-musulmans et les nouveaux musulmans des pays vaincus.Notre analyse s’est uniquement basée sur les trois collections de musées français et il serait indispensable de l’enrichir à partir d’autres pièces provenant d’autres musées de par le mondeIf we consider the important role of magic in Islam as well as in Muslim countries and possibly considering its important role in the making of the symbolic universe of Islamic art, the artistic study of magical items can be a new way for historians of Islamic art.The studies and comments developed in the framework of this thesis are two-fold: first, to discover the thematic and visual sources of the symbolic universe of Iranian Shiite amulets and talismans. Or in other words, to find a clear and precise answer to the question whether the composing elements of the iconography of Iranian Shiite amulets and talismans are strictly based on Islamic sources and primitive traditions of Arabic Muslim. Otherwise, can we consider other sources for these elements like the myths and the artistic traditions of oldest Mesopotamia and Persia?On the second hand, our goal is to attract the attention of historians of Islamic art on the themes of symbols - and their regional past - shown on Iranian Shiite magic items specifically and more generally on Islamic art.This work is based on a stylistic and artistic study as well as a thematic and comparative study between the textual and visual elements on the 166 Iranian Shiites amulets and talismans - collected from three collections: « Les cachets, bulles et talismans islamiques » from « Département des Monnaies, médailles et antiques de la Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris », from « Collection des objets » from « Musée du Quai Branly » in Paris et from « Collection des objets talismaniques iraniens (ou des objets magiques iraniens) » from « Musée civilisations Europe Méditerranée de Marseille (MuCEM) » – with those in the pre-Islamic art of Mesopotamia and Persia.This work shows that both textual and pictorial components of these objects have a thematic relationship based on a cosmic and mythical pre-Islamic perspective. In addition, our analysis shows that the birth of the decorative and figurative writing could be the result of an ideological and cultural conflict between the Arabic Muslim conquerors and the intellectuals of conquered countries. Our study also shows that the symbolic universe of Iranian Shiites amulets and talismans was formed under the influence of many disagreements between primitive Islam imported by Arabic Muslims and new Muslims of conquered countries. Our analysis is only based on the three collections of French museums and it is essential to enrich it with other items from other museums around the world

Full textAbstract:
This study concerns three necklaces, found in three women’s graves in the Viking age city Birka, placed on the island Björkö in the lake Mälaren. The necklaces are well ornate with pearls of carnelian, rock crystal, glass and amber, as well as silver pendants in the shape of for example animals, chairs and crosses. The aim is to examine what purpose the necklaces and their pendants had in its contemporary time, as well as to examine the purpose and possible religious role of the women who owned the necklaces. In order to examine this the graves with the necklaces will also be compared with so called “völvegraves”, which are graves meant for völvor, vǫlur, women who were fortune-tellers. The graves are compared since a hypothesis have been formed, and through a hypothethico-deduction method I hope to see if the aim of this study can be answered. Delimitations are that not all pendants from the necklaces will be used, only categories that will bring forth an analysis as well a discussion. Only two of three völvegraves will take part in the study, since one of them needs more interpretation and analysis. The study showed similarities between the graves with the necklaces and the völvegraves, which supports a positive outcome of the method. The major differences between the graves were the objects interpreted as ritual, the staff and the necklaces. However, since a hypothethico-deduction theory can be limited, the discussion also focused on the pendants of the necklaces, and what they can say about function and worth. Since the pendants show a connection to the god Oden, I concluded that the necklaces were used as religious objects, and that the women possibly could have had the role of a gydja, but that they had Oden as their main God. I also concluded that the women were connected to vǫlur through the connection to Oden as well as chair pendants, but that the women with the necklaces probably were not vǫlur.

Full textAbstract:
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en LiteraturaLa investigación, que desarrollo dentro del programa de Magister en Literatura, apunta hacia el análisis textual de dos novelas del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño: Amuleto publicada el año 1999, y Nocturno de Chile, publicada el año 2000. En ellas, se observan las figuras de dos narradores personajes que realizan la enunciación de sus discursos, impulsados por la necesidad de retratar sus vidas y los momentos violentos que han presenciado, los cuales han condicionado, no sólo su existencia, sino también su destino y el de otros. El escritor, en una entrevista realizada por Rodrigo Pinto, publicada en Las Últimas Noticias el año 2001, señala que: “Nocturno de Chile tiene la misma estructura que Amuleto y otra novela que posiblemente ya no escriba y cuyo título iba a ser "Corrida". Son novelas musicales, de cámara, y también son piezas teatrales, de una sola voz, inestable, caprichosa, entregada a su destino, en diálogo con su destino […].” Esto, a mi entender, permite perfilar a ambas novelas como parte de un mismo proyecto del escritor por representar al sujeto latinoamericano en su momento de mayor crisis individual y, al mismo tiempo, como el representante de un colectivo o generación también en crisis y que ha sido llevado a configurarse como huérfano o, como prefiere el autor, náufragos de la reciente Historia latinoamericana. De esta forma, mi investigación, apunta hacía el análisis de estos relatos entendiéndolos como testimonios ficcionales que dan cuenta de la crisis de la experiencia que los narradores experimentan y que, al mismo tiempo, engloban una realidad social histórica marcada por la incertidumbre que la (des)memoria del pasado ocasiona tanto en lo individual como en lo colectivo.

Full textAbstract:
A thorough review of soil-water energy theories and soil-moisture measurement techniques are presented. Monitoring of piezometric head and soil-moisture potential and content at 3 vertical profiles was conducted along a cross section through Waite Amulet tailings, Quebec. Results characterized the subsurface hydrology during the fall of 1990, a recharge period, which shed light on the hydrologic controls of tailings oxidation.Infiltration rates, wetting front velocities, hydraulic conductivities, and field capacity were determined. The presence of a tree cover increases infiltration by a factor of three. Recharge peaks reflected the conversion of tension-saturated to pressure-saturated porewaters. And, a water balance showed soil-moisture storage was 53% of precipitation, saturated-zone recharge 31%, evapotranspiration 12%, and runoff 4%.
The reliability of time-domain reflectometry to predict gravimetric water content of oxidized tailings was 88%. Heat dissipation sensors detected small dial fluctuations in response to evapotranspiration. Gypsum blocks proved valuable in detecting wetting fronts.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose d'interroger les conséquences du fonctionnement technique d'un système thérapeutique basé sur l'utilisation du texte. Elle propose l'analyse de nouveaux éléments thérapeutiques qui apparaissent en Israe͏̈l et des enjeux socio-politiques et historiques considérables qu'ils engendrent. Le travail de terrain a été effectué entre 1994 et 2002 en Israe͏̈l et à Paris. Il rapporte différents éléments : des consultations de thérapeutes qui utilisent comme dispositif technique le texte (amulettes, Thora, livre de remède etc) ; des cas cliniques, suivis dans le cadre d'institutions juives parisiennes (OPEJ) ; des interviews avec des usagers, et d'une étude longitudinale (1994-2002) auprès d'un thérapeute d'origine yéménite en Israe͏̈l. C'est la méthodologie ethnopsychiatrique qui nous a permis de faire le lien entre ces différents lieux thérapeutiques. À la question, comment se fait-il qu'un peuple fasse une telle proposition -"ce qui guérit c'est l'écriture", notre réponse est d'ordre pragmatique : examiner ce qui se passe quand un thérapeute juif fabrique pratiquement une amulette, un qaméa, c'est-à-dire comment il le crée, de quelle manière il le donne, ce qu'il fait quand il le donne, etc. , et remonter ensuite de la pratique, des techniques, à la théorie sous-jacente, et de la théorie sous-jacente à la proposition philosophique initiale. C'est à partir de cette démarche que notre recherche proposera des réponses à la question première.

Full textAbstract:
Marine plastic pollution is a pervasive problem and is estimated to only increase over the coming years. The realization of this has made several actors take action, of which one is the Danish Hydraulic Institute. Their simulation software MIKE allows for particle tracking in water environments, making it possible to forecast the movement of marine plastic debris. In addition to this, new advancements in marine plastic cleanup technology arise the following question; where are cleanup systems to be placed in order to remove as much plastic as possible? This study presents a mathematical model which, in combination with simulations of marine plastic debris movement, aims to nd the optimal placement of cleanup systems alongside coastal areas. In addition to solely place the systems to maximize the amount of collected plastic particles, minimizing the plastic particles' impact on sensitive areas is also considered. This is achieved by proposing a multi-objective optimization model. The obtained results present the optimal cleanup system placement in the pilot case of Jakarta Bay, Indonesia.Marina plastföroreningar ar ett stort problem som enbart uppskattas öka under de kommande aren. Detta har fatt flera aktörer att vidta åtgärder, varav en ar Danish Hydraulic Institute. Deras mjukvara MIKE tillåter spårning av partiklar i vattenmiljöer, vilket gör det möjligt att förutse hur marint plastskräp kommer röra sig. Dessutom har nya teknologiska framsteg inom upprensning av marin plast gett upphov till följande frågeställning; vart ska man placera uppsamlingsenheter för att ta bort sa mycket plast som möjligt? Denna studie presenterar en matematisk modell som, i kombination med simuleringar av plastpartiklars rörelse i vatten, ämnar hitta den optimala placeringen av uppsamlingsenheter längs kustnätverk. Utöver att bara placera systemen för att maximera mängden uppsamlad plast, är minimeringen av plastens inverkan på känsliga områden också i fokus. Detta uppnås genom att skapa en multi-objektiv optimeringsmodell. Resultaten presenterar de optimala placeringarna av uppsamlingsenheter för Jakarta Bay, Indonesien.

En este trabajo vamos a analizar la representación de la memoria, individual y colectiva, en la novela Amuleto (1999) del novelista y poeta chileno Roberto Bolaño, con la finalidad de mostrar la importancia de la memoria para la construcción de la novela. La investigación está dividida principalmente en dos apartados: un análisis narratológico y un análisis sobre teorías de la memoria. En la primera parte del análisis se colocarán los diferentes actantes en un esquema actancial para evidenciar sus respectivas funciones e importancia dentro del texto. En la segunda parte se analizarán más en profundidad algunos apartados de la novela a partir del esquema actancial, con la ayuda principalmente, de las teorías e ideas sobre la memoria de Maurice Halbwachs, Paul Ricoeur y Márcio Seligmann-Silva. Hemos llegado a la conclusión de que Auxilio, la protagonista de la novela, construye, con la ayuda de su memoria individual, una representación histórica de México de los años sesenta y setenta. A partir de ello, la novela de Bolaño se presenta como una narración importante, puesto que está en contraste con otras versiones de un hito en la historia mexicana.In this paper we will analyse the representation of memory, individual and collective in the novel Amuleto (1999) by Chilean novelist and poet Roberto Bolaño, with the intention of showing the importance of memory for the construction of the novel. The investigation is primarily divided into two parts: a narratological analysis and an analysis of theories regarding memory. In the first part the different actants will be placed in an actancial model to evidence their function and importance in the text. In the second part we will do an in-depth analyses of some passages of the novel, according to the actancial model with the help of theories on memory presented by among others Maurice Halbwachs, Paul Ricoeur, Márcio Seligmann-Silva and Héctor Schmucler. We have come to the conclusion that Auxilio, the protagonist of the novel, constructs a representation of the history of Mexico in the sixties and the seventies. Accordingly, the novel by Bolaño is an important narration seeing that it represents a contrast to other versions of a milestone in Mexican history.

Full textAbstract:
Green Procurement is defined as taking into account environmental criteria for
goods and services to be purchased in order to ensure that the related
environmental impact is minimized (Incite Sustainability, 2008: vii).An inherent
feature of green procurement is the integration of environmental
considerations into purchasing policies, programmes and actions (Stigson &
Russell, 1998:9).
The European Commission states that green public procurement should
ideally cover areas such as the purchase of energy-efficient computers and
buildings, office equipment made out of environmentally sustainable timber,
recyclable paper, environmentally-friendly public transport, organic food in the
cafeteria, electricity stemming from renewable energy sources and air
conditioning systems complying with environmental solutions(European
Commission, 2004:5). The International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives (ICLEI) recommends the inclusion of the construction of new
buildings, restoration and renovation as well as the purchase of building
material as one of the areas that have to be addressed when developing
green procurement policies.
The City of Tshwane Municipality (CoT) intends to move towards a green
procurement practice. The City plans to attain the latter without deviating from
the intentions and parameters of the South African Government’s
procurement legislation and further more within the limits of its current budget
constraints. The intention of the study was to investigate the feasibility of a
green procurement practice in the CoT and to give special attention to low
cost housing. The results of the study suggest that it is feasible to implement
the practice. The City of Tshwane was found to have relevant and progressive
policies in place and what was found lacking was the application and
integration of the policies into existing programmes. Green procurement
barriers that the CoT will have to overcome were identified as awareness,
motivation, economic, legal, institutional, information and technical barriers.
The study concludes with recommendations to the CoT with regard to
potential opportunities the City can take advantage of when implementing a
green procurement practice.Thesis (M. Environmental Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
Föreliggande avhandling syftar till att utveckla läsningen och tolkningen av inskrifterna på de i dagsläget 46 kända vikingatida runblecken. Målet är att ge en så tydlig bild som möjligt av inskriftsgenren vikingatida runbleck. I detta syfte har upprepade fältundersökningar av runblecken genomförts med stereomikroskop. På grundval av på så vis etablerade nya läsningar föreslås nya tolkningar till de mest problematiska ställena i de tidigare tolkade runblecksinskrifterna. Nya tolkningsförslag ges även för runblecksinskrifter som tidigare har ansetts vara olexikaliska. Utöver nya läsningar och tolkningar resulterar denna studie i en kartläggning av relationen mellan runblecksinskrifternas innehåll och form å den enda sidan och runbleckens fyndmiljöer och utseende å den andra.The aim of this dissertation is to represent as clearly as possible the genre of Viking-Age runic plates by developing readings and interpretations of the inscriptions on the 46 metal plates with runes from the Viking Age known today. Several investigations of the runic plates have been conducted with a stereomicroscope for this purpose. On the basis of the new readings thus established, new interpretations have been proposed for the most problematic sections of previously interpreted inscriptions. New interpretations are also offered for inscriptions on runic plates which have previously been considered non-lexical. As well as providing new readings and interpretations, this study has resulted in clarification of the relationship between the form and content of the inscriptions on the runic plates on the one hand and on their find circumstances and appearance on the other.

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet de la thèse s'intitule "Une approche de la magie dans le monde phénicien et punique : iconographies, interrogations, interprétations, origines". Nous proposons une approche inédite des pratiques magico-religieuses des Puniques en nous appuyant sur un corpus archéologique, comprenant des objets du petit mobilier funéraire, tels que des amulettes, des tablettes, des masques, ainsi que des inscriptions et des informations fournies par la littérature classique. La problématique s'inscrit dans une période allant du début du VIIIe à la fin du IIe s. Av. J. -C. Elle couvre la Méditerranée de la côte levantine, Liban et Palestine, à la péninsule ibérique en s'arrêtant particulièrement à Carthage en Tunisie, Tharros en Sardaigne et à Puig des Molins en Espagne. L'étude des amulettes puniques a permis de mettre en relief des traits iconographiques constants, faisant ressortir des fortes influences égyptiennes et orientales dans la production d'objets puniques à caractère magique. Le succès de nombreuses amulettes phénico-puniques à l'effigie de divinités étrangères à leur propre panthéon, invite à s'interroger sur l'existence de probables "interpretatio Phoenicia et Punica", en particulier celle de Sekhmet en Astart. L'épigraphie et notamment certaines inscriptions funéraires, et votives ont fourni des indices complémentaires sur les acteurs de la magie, la nature de leurs activités, leur rapport avec les cultes "officiels" et la place qu'ils occupaient dans la société. L'observation des amulettes dans différents contextes domestique, votif, et surtout funéraire, permet de mettre en évidence quelques traits constants. Ce qui permet d'envisager sous un autre jour les pratiques magico-religieuses dans la société punique. En effet, il y a tout lieu de penser que les Puniques ont dépassé le simple emprunt stylistique pour envisager une adaptation partielle d'un rituel funéraire magique égyptien.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 19th century archaeologists have found different types om amulet rings on various dig sites around Scandinavia with the biggest concentration in the Mälardal area. It is an object connect to old Viking age and Vendel period societies found from time to time during archaeological excavations. The problem with the amulet rings is, that the scientists don’t know how to fully interpret these artefacts. The common belief is that amulet rings are object connected to religious practice and the pagan cult. The purpose of this essay is to give the amulet rings a larger meaning and try to put new light on them, to widen the understanding of the object and to point out that more than religion can be interpreted around the artefacts and the context they are preserved in. This will put the rings in a more social sphere and widen the meaning and use of the object and the understanding of the Viking people. This essay is written with an intention to give a broader image surrounding the social role of the amulet rings in Viking age societies. This will be done through a descriptive and investigative mapping of the micro contexts of the amulet rings. The archaeological sites that will be used to do so are Lilla Ullevi and Kalvshälla in Uppland with a contextual approach as a theoretical perspective. In this essay, it has been shown that the sites have used the amulet rings to find religious connections in the Viking age and Vendel period complexes by schematically interpreting the rings as religious objects instead of seeing the possibilities in the material. Even if religion seems to be present the distribution of the rings indicates a larger scale of social use and not only religious actions. The result is that the ring is more flexible and complex then previously thought and more in-depth research into amulet rings is needed to fully understand the object and to use them in bigger archaeological interpretations.

Since the seventeenth century, the Amazon and the region which comprises of the Brazilian Amazon have been suffering successive environmental and cultural impacts. Contacts between colonists, explorers, missionaries and traditional groups have brought different interpretations to the awareness of the world, forest, plants, stories, and of the therapeutic systems adopted, suppressed and adapted. The objective of this research is to address the healing technique in the lowland Amazon region (States of Par? and Amazonas) between the years of 1870 and 1940, and the association between the social imaginary of diseases in the area and to the curators who worked and their descendants, such as shamans, midwives, sacacas and healers. In this context, evidence of the family cultures, the plurality of the knowledge, the experience shared between traditional groups regarding fauna and flora, and the spiritual-religious rituals, all aiming at the care of the body and the return of health, are discussed. It is important to point out that the historical process of knowledge exchange between pre-Columbian natives, explorers, European settlers, riverine and quilombola communities, and later, with modern 19th-century medicine, transformed and influenced the behaviour of all these groups, in some way and rights adopted. Therefore, it is possible to perceive the adoption of new conceptions about diseases, of treatments and maintenance of bodies and behaviours, of attempts to "fit" the unhealthy environments and nature through hygienic discourses. Becoming evident especially in the progressive invigoration of demoralising figures discourses such as shamans and healers, as well as their explanatory universes about illness and therapeutics. Consequently, the process eventually generated biased documents and writings that reduced them to invisibility and the margins of writing history.
Desde o s?culo XVII, a Amaz?nia e a regi?o do Baixo Amazonas brasileiro, vem sofrendo sucessivos impactos ambientais e culturais. Os contatos entre os exploradores, colonizadores, mission?rios e grupos tradicionais, trouxeram diferentes interpreta??es sobre o conhecimento do mundo, da floresta, das plantas, das lendas e dos sistemas terap?uticos adotados, suprimidos ou adaptados. O objetivo desta pesquisa ? abordar as artes de curar no Baixo Amazonas (Par? e Amazonas) entre os anos de 1870 a 1940, relacionando-as ao imagin?rio social das doen?as na regi?o e aos curadores que atuaram e seus descendentes, como os benzedores, consertadores, parteiras, sacac?s e curandeiros. Neste contexto, s?o evidenciadas as culturas familiares, a pluralidade de conhecimentos, o conhecimento compartilhado entre grupos tradicionais sobre a fauna e flora, e os rituais m?gico-religiosos, todos objetivando os cuidados com o corpo e o retorno da sa?de. ? importante salientar que o processo hist?rico de troca de conhecimento entre os amer?ndios, exploradores, colonizadores, ribeirinhos e quilombolas, e posteriormente com a medicina cient?fica j? em fins do s?culo XIX, transformaram e influenciaram os comportamentos de todos estes grupos, em alguns espa?os e prerrogativas adotadas. Portanto, ? poss?vel perceber a ado??o de novas concep??es sobre as doen?as, de tratamentos e manuten??o dos corpos e comportamentos, de tentativas de ?adequa??o? dos ambientes e natureza insalubres atrav?s de discursos higienistas, e principalmente, na progressiva investida dos discursos desmoralizantes de figuras como os xam?s e curadores, al?m de seus universos explicativos sobre as enfermidades e terap?uticas. Tal processo, acabou por gerar documentos e escritas tendenciosas que os reduziram a invisibilidade e as margens da escrita da hist?ria.

Full textAbstract:
Multi-view 3D human pose estimation is still a challenging task in uncontrolled environments. Many related approaches are still dependent on silhouettes of the subject obtained by background subtraction. Background subtraction is difficult if the cameras are moving or the background is dynamic. Our solution is to do body part detections both on the foreground and the background, similar to some 2D pose estimation algorithms. We introduce a novel approach to combine 2D body part detections from multiple views to obtain a unified space of detection scores employing the constraints of the 3D space. This combination of detections helps to remove the false positive detection scores suggested by the 2D detectors. We also propose a new human pose estimation algorithm that performs the pose inference directly in the 3D configuration space, taking advantage of the unified detections. This algorithm is a modified version of the well known pictorial structures method and uses distance transform in solving the optimization. Repulsion between joints is also considered in our algorithm which is very helpful for estimating some specific poses. Qualitative results are presented to show the potential strength of our approach.

Full textAbstract:
E. Nesbit’s The Story of the Amulet inspired me to write a time-slip novel for young adults. During my research for this explicatory essay, I discovered that later writers not only expanded upon Nesbit’s simple formula to create atmospheric novels with fully developed characters, but also experimented with space as well as with time, thus allowing their protagonists also to travel within parallel worlds. This essay traces the source of Nesbit’s inspiration as well as discussing the problems associated with the actual writing of a time-slip novel, together with its gradual acceptance as a sub genre within fantasy literature. In particular, Nesbit’s influence on later writers is also discussed. Nesbit’s formula incorporated characters travelling into the past to perform a quest or to solve a problem before returning to the present. One group of writers, after the wide-spread destruction of World War Two, used Nesbit’s formula as a basic structure to portray, usually through the eyes of one main protagonist, an England they once knew that was on the point of vanishing. Another group of writers, having spent their early years in the Blitz in an England under constant threat of invasion, often delved further into the past to express their concern over the ever-fighting forces of good and evil. These writers, like Nesbit, returned to using more than one protagonist, but unlike Nesbit, their protagonists are usually visited by characters from out of the past, rather than the reverse. It is from within this group of writers that the concept of parallel worlds emerged. My own novel, Curse of the Time Witch, set in Elizabethan England at the time of the Spanish Armada in 1588, follows Nesbit’s formula to some extent, except that the events are seen through the eyes of a protagonist living in the past who is visited by the other protagonist from the twenty-first century. My novel is also somewhat unusual because my protagonist, as well as speaking in the first person, also uses the present tense to describe the events as they take place.
