Badet, Muriel. "L'enlèvement : les mouvements du désir : ses représentations dans l'art occidental, de la Renaissance au XXe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002EHES0075.
Full textThis study is based on a wide range of works and texts which provide the starting point. Their comparison allows to study the stakes of abduction representation. There is no chronological objective, but choosing the love abductions, the first question refers to the etymology of the term “abduction” and its various meanings, from rape to rapture. A whole series of actions follow such as to take away, to lift up, to move. The disruptions and contradictory impulses of desire are represented by the dynamic of abduction. When there is passion, the image used are those of amorous pursuit, brutal fevers; when it is strategic, the representation changes, and concentrates on the presence of accomplices or signs indicating the trap into which the victim will fall. The movement is stopped. In the examples of men abducted by women it would appear that desire is suffered rather than voluntary. The position of domination is reversed for the dominated. The only choice left to the abductor is to grabe the object of desire. At the same time, inertia rather than activity is the emotion's signal. The main combined of power and apathy affect the woman when she has decided to be abducted. The apathy represents and agreement and leads to the abduction, where the body is overwhelmed and where the soul swoons and flys away with a feeling of unlimited pleasure. Moving the study to the social experience, we notice that if abductions are punished, their representations mix the erotic symbol of the subject with the wedding rules, and with panegyric or hegemonic speeches

Full textIn order to point out the philological, philosophical, theological and rhetorical basis of XVIIth cent. Imagery, the author had first to write the still now missing history of the reception of Pythagoras' symbols from the beginning of the renaissance. Stressing the contribution of successive generations of humanists: Traversari, Alberti, Ficino, Poliziano, Pico, Nesi, Reuchlin, Steuco. . . The following period was marqued by the integration, around the symbola themselves, of other symbolic figures, as well ancient, such as the proverb, the enigma and the hieroglyphic, as modern, such as the emblem and the device. Erasmus, Giraldi and Caussin have thus contributed, each in his own way, to reinforce the unity of the new symbolic world. But nobody more than Claude Mignault, through the very intricate story of his Alciati's editions and evolution of his famous Syntagma de Symbolis. At the beginning of the XVIIth c. , the Pythagorean model is reinforced if not replaced by Dionysius areopagita, whose work inspires altogether the symbolic theology and the mystic theology of the Jesuit father Maximilian van der Sandt, whose pious approach legitimates a special chapter devoted to the uelum templi considered as the allegory of allegory, the last part of the book would show how the great rhetoricques of the second half of XVIIth century succeeded in analyzing and codifying the new language: Jacob Masen for the visual and graphic image, Emanuele Tesauro for the metaphora and Menestrier for the festive and funeral decorations of ephemeral baroque

Full textWhat could a Milanese dagger bearing the Latin inscription DANIELO ME FECIT / IN CASTELO MEILANO 1475 and the Hare drawn by Albrecht Dürer in 1502 have in common? What brings together an automaton, such as the mechanical monk of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, dated to 1560-1570 and attributed to Juanelo Turriano, and the mutilated head of a bishop’s statue sculpted by Albrecht of Nuremberg between 1510 and 1520 and discovered in a mass grave in Bern? What do the following objects share: the Complaint of the Poor Persecuted Idols, illustrated by Erhard Schoen around 1530, and the unfinished Michelangelo’s Atlas, sculpted between 1519 and 1536; a pittura infamante and a painting by Titian; Leonardo da Vinci’s sfumato and a Renaissance anatomical illustration in which an animated flayed body reveals the mysteries of its corporis fabrica; an emphatic encomium of art discourse that exalts the illusion of life in a painting or a sculpture, and a votive counterweight from the late Middle Ages; the personification and prosopopeia that are fundamental to Erasmus’s Praise of Folly and the wax funerary effigy of Francis I that Jerome Cardan described as an imago viva?All these objects materialize a presence and have a close link with the topos, dear to the Renaissance, of the living image. During the Renaissance, the living image was a multiple phenomenon, with an anthropological dimension that this dissertation seeks to elucidate. For art historians today, it is also a theoretical object, that is to say a construct that can activate, as Giovanni Careri wrote, « a fruitful tension between the singularity of an object and the generality of a theory »
Bugini, Mariaelena. "Il significato della musica nell'opera intagliata ed intarsiata di fra' Giovanni da Verona." Tours, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007TOUR2008.
Full textThe thesis is divided into three parts and one appendix. The first part is focussed on musical iconography in Giovanni da Verona’s inlays and carvings, masterpieces of the Renaissance monastic woodwork realised all over Italy between the XVth and the XVIth century. The second one analyses the apocryphal lira da braccio of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum, wrongly assigned to fra’ Giovanni by Emanuel Winternitz in 1967. The third part illustrates the changements in style and meanings brought to the master’s art by his pupil fra’ Vincenzo Dalle Vacche. The appendix complete the work collecting texts and glossaries which can be useful to the comprehension of its three parts
Franceschi-Zaharia, Catherine. "Du paysage et de ses quasivalents : le parti pris des mots." Paris, EHESS, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016EHES0095.
Full textSince the discovery of the lack of a Greek or Latin equivalent for paysage (landscape), its invention remains an open question. Leaving aside any definition and a priori about paysage, this question is re-examined starting from the term and its equivalents in German. Dutch, English, and Italian. The research of their first occurrences and the setting up of their equivalents reveals a typology based on semantic registry : a "territorial" and an "image" series. This typology is not based on etymology, but relates to the historical use of each term. Landschaft, landschap, paese belong to the "territorial" series, while paysage, paesaggio, as well as their English equivalents paisage and landskip which precede landscape belong to the "image" series. The equivalence can only be limited, which is why we prefer the term quasivalence. Nevertheless, from the mid-fifteenth century to the end of the sixteenth century, a common place for the paysage and its quasivalents emerges: the image. "Western landscape" or "European landscape" find their relevance in this vein. Whilst Dante gave to paese its meaning and spelling, the role of perspective in painting was a prerequisite for the shift of the terms from the territorial to the image domain. The invention of paysage depends on it. Prior the first accepted occurrence until now (1549), there are in fact a dozen other occurrences which bring forward by twenty years the terminus ante quern of the invention of paysage. The analysis of these occurrences clarifies the connexion between paysage and image. This work is raising the question of the part played by the invention of paysage in the emergence of the modern Western world
Petrick, Vicki-Marie. "Le corps de Marie Madeleine dans la peinture italienne du XIIIe siècle à Titien." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0087.
Full textThe goal of this thesis is to show the density of meanings that inform the plastic and iconographic choices made by Titian for his Pitti Magdalen, examining it in light of the visual traditions of the Magdalen in Italy. To do this, the dissertation goes back to the visual codes established in the 13th century. This study brings forward the means by wich women's bodies may be bearers of theological meaning, beyond that of sin and temptation. A first part establishes the foundations. One chapter approaches the anthropology of the Christian body, another the construction of the "character" of Mary Magdalen and themes associated with her, a third stuides these first plastic formulations in the mediterranean basin. A second part is consecrated to the cycles that present her Vita : the Florentine pala of 1285, the Assisi Magdalen chapel, and the Magdalen chapels of the Bargello and Santa Croce in Florence. The chapters bring forward the dynamic in wich the spectator relates to the figure as an example of sinful flesh converted. A last part proposes a diachronical analysis, on a large temporal scale, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries the principal iconographical signs that distinguishe her : the color red, the hair, the tears, the vase and the perfume, all the while giving particular attention to the regional variations between Tuscany and the Veneto. The final chapter converges the results of the first chapters in the analysis of the Titian Magdalen who appears as an end point in the plastic and conceptual research conducted since 1270

Full textA study of the connections and the interdependence that existed between the verbal and visual means of communication in renaissance england in the light of the cultural, artistic and commercial exchange with the netherlands. It comprehends an analysis of a corpus of continental prints that can be linked to the iconographic tradition of the mirrors of human folly, reflecting the influence and concern of sixteenth-century humanist circles. The moral discourse inherent to these images of excess and transgression shows a significant number of similitudes with the preoccupations of secular theater of the time. Which suggests a possible interaction between popular graphic themes and the theatrical text. The mirror of folly as a thematic issue, and the comparisons it allows for with the popular field of common-places, proverbs, and visually illustrated themes, provides the link with the dramatic text proper. In many instances, playwrights and poets adopted thought schemes and motifs that are also to be found in the graphic arts. The elizabethan spectator possessed a visual vocabulary enabling him to recognize possible references made to pictorial types and conceits. A subsequent comparative study offers some insight in shakespeare's use of these moral images

Full textIn Jean de La Taille, Robert Garnier and Antoine de Montchrestien's tragedies, three Renaissance's French playwrights, passions become the mainspring of action and characterize roles in the play. Renaissance's tragic theater combines the pathos produced by deplorations and passions' dramatic construction which guides progressing action's rules. Influences coming from Bible, History and Seneca define imitation's conditions but passions' poetics and rhetoric lead imitation to reinvention underlining Renaissance's specificities. The moral point of view in passions' representation is studied through the pathos/catharsis mechanism, choosing a character becoming as important as action's structure. The process of catharsis in Renaissance's tragedies follows from a teaching pathos ; passions edify on moral and poolitic views. Passions' representation is directed by passions' tragic philosophy leading to a Christian theology. Tragedies representing human fault and God's punishment thus combine ancient and Christian conceptions about passions' theology

Full textIn the Elizabethan period, the image of the labyrinth was being re-appropriated in several ways, all based on an ideal first championed by Horace : discordia concors. Throughout Antiquity, the story related to Theseus and the Minotaur had been retold many times, by authors such as Pliny, Ovid, Plutarch, whose texts were to be digested by translators. Renaissance England could boast, too, of an impressive medieval heritage, which favoured the didactic transmission of the myth : the influence of clerical writings linked to the idea of the unicursal maze, one way leading to God, contributed to the popularization of the legend. Gradually, the symbol was secularized during the sixteenth century. Although mythic multicursal paths proliferated in gardens, representations, danse and poetry, they reached their climax on stage. As an obsessional motif, the labyrinth is a hermeneutic key revealing new interpretative tracks exploring a multisemic theatre, whose possibilities remain to be exploited

Full textClassical theatre did not permit death on stage. This ban had been laid down by Horace in his Ars poetica and justified by Medea’s infanticide: “Medea should not slaughter her children in the presence of the people […]. Whatever you show me like this, I detest and refuse to believe. ” Due to this illustrious reference, from the 16th to the 18th century, Medea became a choice example for reflections on verisimilitude and on the means of achieving dramatic effectiveness. Stage adaptations of the story of Medea raised the issues of the limits of what could be represented and the reasons why violence had to be controlled and limited by playwrights in order to become acceptable. While they stand for a climax of violence, Medea’s crimes also call for investigations in specific fields. Compendia of myths, medical treatises, books of demonology, theories on power and women: texts from all these fields of knowledge, in which Medea served as a paradigm, have been consulted to shed new light on the theatrical treatment of the subject. Making violence plausible does not imply eliminating it entirely; violence is effective dramatically, as the popularity of the subject-matter demonstrates. Therefore, this study focuses on confronting the theoretical discourse on theatre with the plays themselves, in order to understand better the advantages and risks for the tragic genre entailed by the representation of violence. These Medeas mark the limits of what is tolerable on stage and sketch out a history of the theatrical representation of bloody crimes. In this respect, the scandal represented by Medea appears as a particularly rich theoretical and dramatic object

Full textThe concept of musicalisation of art was introduced at the beginning of the XXth century. The 3rd November 1913, Henry Valensi revealed for the first time to the public, "La loi des prédominances", during a conference on "Colour and forms, or the musicalisation of all the arts". Other painters were working on theories of correspondence between sound and light waves: "bleuisme" by Gustave Bourgogne, "rapports des sons et des couleurs" by Charles Blanc-Gatti, "émotivisme" by Vito Stracquadaini. Henry Valensi eventually founded a group with these painters: "the circle of musicalist artists" (4th march 1932). This circle has organised numerous exhibitions in France as well as abroad and over the years, many painters have joined the group. Their aim has been a method inspired by musical composition resulting in a style as abstract as that in music

Full textDuring the Renaissance, the skin – which has often been overlooked in recent studies on the body – allowed new approaches, initiated new speculations and contributed to a new knowledge. Our purpose is to show how this singular organ became a privileged theoretical object in a time when thought was structured by conceptual couples such as surface and depth, interiority and exteriority, being and appearing, the visible and the invisible, the sensible and the intelligible, the corporeal and the spiritual. In this survey, which also takes into account vegetable and animal skins (membrane, bark, fur, leather, shell) and “second skins” such as clothing, make-up or armours, our guides were not only philosophers and physicians, but mostly writers and painters, who brought the skin into light while it seemed to disappear under the blades of anatomists. Its “epiphany” can be seen in Montaigne, Ronsard and Shakespeare, as well as in Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo or Titian. . . Not to mention those whose imagination was nourished by the legendary stories of the flaying of Marsyas and Saint Bartholomew – or by the myth of Epimetheus that questions the human nature. Particular attention was paid to the skin as “support-surface” of writing and painting, because it offered writers and artists the opportunity to reflect on their own practice, on the materiality of language and images, on visual and tactile qualities of representation

Full textOur thesis analyses devotional literature in the context of catholic reformation at the beginning of the Renaissance (end of the XVe-first half of the XVIe century). A large number of generally unknown texts, either printed or manuscripts, anonymous or due to famous poets (Clément Marot, Jean Bouchet, Marguerite de Navarre, Charles Fontaine. . . ), show the will to soften penitence, to enrich sensible experience and to deepen christian meditation. They use all literary forms, all the registers, devotional handbooks, long litanic poems, songs, theological treatise, feated to the laity, little dramas, dialogues. They are all fed with mediaeval tradition and open to humanism : they are an element of educational efforts of the Church towards believers. We underline several characteristics of that literary and spiritual renewal : links between courts and reformed covents, which the covent of the Madeleine d'Orléans (order of Fontevraut) is a model of. Confessors and theologians like François Le Roy, François Desmoulins, Guillaume Petit, in the circle of Marguerite de Navarre herself, finally noble ladies have held a momentous place. We study one prominent subjects in this devotional literature : adoration of the Cross, the mystery of the Incarnation, or the worship of Marie Madeleine. These texts have strongly influenced the literature of this period. Indeed, they let an authentic religious poetry appear

Full textThe imaginary of the Jew in northern France and in England, as well in the texts as in the pictures, is represend from the twelfth to the fifteenth century by two main figures: the murderer of Christ and the infidel. The Jew’s guilt of Christ’s crucifixion is alleged and repeated in the allegations of christian children murders which occur in the second half of the twelfth century and in the charges of host desecration, particularly in the miracle of billettes in 1920. As the devotion to the suffering Christ is increasing, the Jew is described as Christ’s torturer, becoming a character of the passion plays in the end of the middle ages. As a non-christian, the Jew is considered as synagogue's child and as a permanent source of blasphemy within the Christian society. He becomes an emblematic figure of the infidelity, more than the Saracen, but he is not considered as a real danger of apostasy or heresy. Surprisingly, the associations between the Jew and the devil are very exceptional, even if some iconographic attributes of the Jew come from those of the devil. The study of the physical distortions, the clothing differences, the Jewish badge, and the headdress in the pictures confirms that there is not a typical representation of the Jew

Full textSubordinated to the narrative, the body in cinema is often reduced to actions, to legible symbols. To reappear as itself, it must revolt against the rules of fiction and become "an opposing body. " This reinvention is governed by the analogical specificity of the medium. To distinguish the particularities of the filmed body and of its modeling, we evoke time-lapse photography, visual anthropology, sculpture, painting, and dance. Our aesthetic approach thus integrates historical, cultural, anthropological, and ethical dimensions. Then, four specific cases illustrate the construction of the body against the narration : the Keatonian character ; the Hollywood model resulting from censorship in the 1930s ; the motif of the fragmented body in the French cinema of the 1960s ; the exhausted body filmed by John Cassavetes. Little by little, concepts emerge to remind us that all reinventions of the body bring together a singular universe, a collective imagination, and the status of the medium
Tempestini, Isabelle. "De l'icône au portrait : le visage dans la peinture russe." Paris, INALCO, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001INAL0012.
Full textThe face has a privilegied place in Russian painting. It defins the art of icons as well as portraits. Its image, in idealised form, is present in ancient religious painting whose ideas have been followed up to this day. Secular art emerges, progressively breaking away from sacred art, and is constantly dominated by the portrait. The thesis is divided into three parts. An analysis dedicated to early portraits known as parsuny, at the end of the sixteenth and begining of the seventeenth centuriees, shows the links which bind together these effigies with icons in the Kremlin's Armoury Palace. Princes and tsars are the first to get themselves represented, followed by the nobility, who introduced western styles. However, some resistance to these changes can be seen in provincial painting until the first half of the nineteenth century. The second part studies the influence of icon and parsuna on provincial portraiture also called "merchant portraiture". Merchants, rich farmers or Old Believers filled with religious piety commissionned representation of themselves in hieratic postures with expressionless faces emerging from their bright costumes. This type of picture is close to Malevich's ultimate pieces in the thirties, at the time when avant-garde artists went back to their roots. So the third part associates the artist's latest portraits with Russian religious and popular culture, revealing a continuity in Russian art

The drawing will endeavour to assimilate all the tension and energy a dancing body can convey, and so to the limits of representation

Full textOriginating from the Nine Worthies theme, from them they sometimes adopt the distribution, the Strong Women series blossom as early as the 15th century in Italy, then spread to France and the rest of Europe in 16th and 17th century. These series or galleries, constituted by heroines embodying precise virtues, are inspired by feminine qualities as praised by Salomon in "La femme de Caractère", extracted from his book "Proverbes". They are created only after the "hommes illustres" series, as counterparts, and later acquire their own autonomy. These cycles cover diverse functions depending on the country, the time period : in Italy, the first series serve the function of memory, they are commemorative, then they become edifying, through the cassoni who educate young wives ; in France, they allow to legitimate a regent accession to the throne and to support her power, process who was copied by the Dutch, the Florentine and Viennese court. Spain focuses on women from the Bible and fills its churches of cycles sculpted or painted on mirrors, destined to edifying the faithful ; the Belgium series educate the monks ; the Dutch engraved cycles praise women at home, whereas England seems to be apart. Queens, women from the Bible and amazons appear recurrently in series, to the detriment of vestals and saints. The most irreproachable heroines are disgracied, the most barbaric acts are justified

Full textThe catalogue of this thesis has been taken from a data base specially created. Its 1370 notices give thousands of references; the notices are classified according to themes in the course of six chronological periods. Thanks to these selected objects, it has been possible to study the sources and the constituent parts of the Egyptian revival according to periods and countries, to index the Egyptian themes more often used, to measure their degree of adaptation, and to identify the symbols contained in the different creations. The sources of egyptomania are taken from archeological items, travel accounts, exceptional events and former egyptianizing creations; but the evolution of the fidelity of the interpretations doesn’t follow necessarily the increasing of the knowledge of ancient Egypt. The chronological study points out several evolutions: egyptomania, created at the beginning for esthetes’' pleasure, soon becomes democratized; the archeological discovering and publications give new possibilities to it; it can use many new means of expression (movies, cartoons, comic-strips and adverting) and thus increased its audience. The thematic study of the egyptianizing objects and creations shows how easily egyptomania adapts itself and mixes with the style of the period. A repertory of the themes taken from ancient Egypt shows which ones are used most. Egyptianizing items carry lots of symbols from ancient Egypt and from the time of their making; using numerous concepts (dream, fear, laugh), egyptomania, as well as Egypt, has a strong impact on people. The Egyptian revival is more than part of exotism and anticomania; it is an independent current more alive and fascinating to-day than ever

Full textThe "scenaric plot" can be found in film scenarisation. In order to study it, we will situate scenarisation in cinema as a whole. Cinema is divided into ten sub-territories that determine the scenario. This will constitute the general environment of the plot. We can then subdivide scenarisation in eight polarities. Besides sources and investigation, we can distinguish : idea, problematic, scheme, character, plot, spatial organisation, timing and dialogue. This will constitute the specific internal environment of the plot. We will then validly deal with the analysis of the "scenaric plot". In the first place, it is made of matter of "contents", which can be seen as composed of "semantic basins" (from "law" to "destiny"). Secondly, it seems to conform to a same form of expression, or obliged ternary existential scheme (situation-action-situation). Then it comes out, thanks to its own matter of expression, not the characters, but four axis of interactions: socio-economical, strutural, dramaturgical, and socio-psychic. At last, it complies with certain modes of the form of expression (logic, credibility: dramatization, "satirisation"). We then can foresee a "scenaristic"

Full textFrom antiquity on, the history of still life has ranked very high the anecdote of the grapes painted by zeuxis which were so true to life that some birds, thinking they were real, pecked at them. To capture the eye, painters have always used food as bait, which as the utmost balt, appeals to the eye, the hand and all of the greedy senses. An implicit and never failing complicity has been progressively woven between the masters of illusion and provisions. Still lives, cooking and meals have nourished the images of art history. However, the domestic origin of the theme and its coverly carnal links with the body, digestion and with all that is material, have spoilt its representation. Culinary paintings, therefore, held in lowly estime, slavishly went through all sorts of art experiments. It is in this very downgrade into the wasteland, apparently devoid of any ambitions, that new picturial modes have seemed to germinate. Paintings of mouths eager to eat, of bellies avid for food, of digestions to come ; paintings shaped by the very fertile and transient nature of food. The theme of life and of near death, of pleasure and of excrement has contamined those who have indulged in it, setting up its own process at the very heart of a style of painting.

Full textThis thesis examines the perception of Renaissance sculpture in nineteenth-century Europe, in order to determine which stakes underlie its critical and artistic fortune. History of nineteenth-century French sculpture is studied in comparaison to European historiography of Renaissance statuary from 1805, date of the rediscovery of Cellini’s Vita original manuscript, to 1889, date of the first public exhibition of the Monument aux Bourgeois de Calais by Auguste Rodin. The interest for Renaissance sculpture picks up when Europe becomes divided between permanence of the classical model and the appearance of Romanticism. Renaissance sculpture is seen as a Golden Age. In painting as in sculpture, artistic creation reflects the birth of the myth of the Renaissance. Michelangelo becomes an exemplary figure of Art; Jean Goujon is his French counter-mode| (I). In the second half of the century, national stakes govern this European passion for the Renaissance statuary. The sculpture of the XVth and XVth centuries become the object of a cultural transfer between Italy and Germany. Dedicated to the worship of Gothic art, France and England, on their part, hesitate to celebrate Italian Renaissance. In particular, the development of Renaissance historicism in the French statuary leads on one hand to Paul Dubois’neostyle, and on the other to Rodin’s artistic renewal (II)

Full textFrom Camilla to Bradamante, from Marfisa to Clorinda, women warriors are fixed characters in epic, chivalric poems and romances. Described from ancient times, they re-emerge in French epic of XII cent. before being integrated by XV cent. Italian poems, where they will know the height of their glory during the Renaissance. Imitations and rewritings of those poems are responsible for the great European diffusion of characters of woman warrior. After an introductory chapter about classical epic, the historical and geographical area of my thesis concentrate on Italian, French, English and Spanish texts dating from Middle Ages to early XVII cent. My research study the notable stages of this intertextual literary filiation and the changing significance of women warriors in the system of power between male and female characters
Da Camilla a Bradamante, da Marfisa a Clorinda, le donne guerriere costituiscono dei personaggi fissi dell’epica, dei poemi e dei romanzi cavallereschi. Presenti dall’età classica, esse riemergono nell’epica francese del XII secolo per poi inserirsi definitivamente nella poesia italiana del Quattrocento, conoscendo infine il loro apogeo nei grandi poemi cavallereschi del Rinascimento. Le imitazioni e le riscritture di tali poemi diffondono questi personaggi in tutta Europa. Dopo un primo capitolo dedicato all’epica classica, lo spazio storico-geografico della nostra tesi è formato da testi italiani, francesi, spagnoli e inglesi che vanno dal Medioevo agli inizi del Seicento. Il nostro studio analizza le fasi fondamentali di tale filiazione letteraria intertestuale e il cambiamento del significato delle guerriere nel sistema di rapporti di potere tra personaggi maschili e femminili

Full textThe repetition of images and of objects is a remarkable and constant phenomenon in the modern ar. We can define three categories of works of art in which the repeated images and objects appear. First, the iconographical significance of the repetition due to the techniques of reproduction connected with the modern industrial society ; second, the formal abstract effect of the repeated figurative images or objects ; third, psychological effect of the repetition : feelings of strangeness, anguihs and obsession. In modern art, the artists use the monotonous repetition to search for their own artistic language and to prodduce, paradoxically, a variation of style. Even though it is a matter of the stereotyped and depersonalized repetition, as long as there is a will of artists to pursue the aesthetic and plastic investigations and experimentations, the works of art will always have the value of originality and of uniqueness

Full textThis study addresses several themes relating to childhood, as viewed by Violette Leduc and Marie NDiaye. There are many similarities in how these two authors perceive childhood, even though their positions in the literary landscape are quite different. In both of their works, a child's parents are either completely absent or else ever-present, and family relationships are influenced by objects of value to society such as money and appearance. This naturally leads us to consider the relationship between children and society, and how each one views the other. As social values impinge on the family, familial roles become reversed and children lose both their identity and their bearings. Nevertheless, despite attempts by parents and society to impose rules on children that restrict their freedom, we argue that childhood is constantly in a state of renewal. This manifests itself in many different ways, including the varied creatures and objects which fill a child's environment. Childhood, and its depiction within literature, is both rich and complex. As the authors write in defence of childhood, they alternate between fiction and autobiography. In doing so, they provide a perspective on childhood which is at the same time original and which takes its origins in their own respective childhoods

A complete inventory of cistercian supports inside a zone corresponding to greater Western France has allowed to conduct a detaile analysis of the sculptures cistercian corpus of vegetal inspiration of the roman or gothisc area. An independant analysis of the supports, motifs, compositions and comparisons with local non cistercian repertories has made it possible to identify the characte stics wich have contributed to define with precision the medieval sculptured cistercian decor of vegetal inspiration

Full textBased on a cross-examination of medical, scientific, literary, and critical materials, this work attempts a transnational genealogy of the concept of Nervenkunst (“art of the nerves”). Through a historical reconstruction of the French origins of the discourses that coalesce in that category (and a survey of their prerevolutionary and ancient sources), our research proves that a genetic connection between the writer’s craft and the nervous system is neither a peculiarity of Austrian literature in the 1890s nor a premonition of psychoanalysis, but the product of a system of exchanges and transformations that span several centuries, to converge in the years of early Naturalism. The first part chronicles the invention of “modern nerves”; in other words, it offers a cultural history of the neurological imagination before and after 1789. The second part describes the genesis of an idea of the nervous author during the Second Empire and the early Third Republic (focusing on the work of the Goncourt brothers and their entourage). The third part deals with the germanization of these originally French contents: how did these notions take root in the German-speaking world at a time (1870-1890) when Berlin’s relations with Paris were problematic at best? The answer lies in a system of cultural mediations and mutual perceptions that involves, among other things, Austria and Scandinavia

Full textBetween 1600 and 1620, Elizabethan and Jabobean tragedy often focuses on a macabre stereotype - characters are shown staring at the face of Death. This stereotype is largely borrowed from the cultural setting of Shakespeare's day, which was dominated by the visual display of death, as defined in the memento mori conventions. Both the text and the staging of the tragedies of that age are concerned with staring at the Face of Death. The word " skull " and the stage property that corresponds to it cannot merely be considered as emblems of mortality, because they are both linked with the achetypes of Death. Indeed, these macabre signs regularly emphasize the spontaneous response to the staging of violence and death, so much so that they tend to unveil a death that refuses to be controlled by any emblematic setting or allegorical strategy. This ambivalent theatrical semiosis is studied in five tragedies : The Atheist's Tragedy, The Revenger's Tragedy, Hamlet, The Duchess of Malfi and King Lear

Full textThis study is about the use of proper names originating from the Odyssey, or Odyssean references, by English playwrights between 1558 and 1642, in a cultural context where Homer was being reinvented by the humanists. Two modes of relating to Homer’s poem characterize Renaissance England: one is founded on an attempt to return directly to the text while the other is based on a conventional utilization of the characters. I first retrace the efforts made by certain scholars to “revive” Homer and I show how the humanist appreciation breaks with the depreciatory judgements in the medieval tradition. As a translator Chapman took up the Petrarchan ideal and introduced Homer as the author of a personal and singular work. However such a relationship to Homer was far from being shared by the playwrights, including Chapman in his work as a dramatist. The comparative study of Odyssean references in a wide theatrical corpus reveals that the connection with the Odyssey is loose and greatly influenced by language norms and cultural values inherited from pedagogical humanism. It follows that the ostentatious and ornamental use of Odyssean proper names refers more to the “classical treasure-trove” than to a particular work with clearly identified and perceived narrative and diegesis. This cultural basis provides playwrights with a frame from which they can give vent to their creativity, each in their own way. Shakespeare’s originality stands out as a remarkable feature: far from staying inside commonplaces, his use of Odyssean figures sparks the expression of personal poetry

Full textThis study intends to investigate and clarify the links between the Early Netherlandish pictorial tradition (15th and 16th centuries) and mystical literature as exemplified by Ruysbroeck the Admirable and the authors associated with the Modern Devotion (devotio moderna). Focusing on a corpus of works by Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, the Master of the View of St Gudule, the Master of 1499, the Master of Alkmaar, Hieronymus Bosch, Gerard David and Jan Mostaert, this analysis brings to light that painting and writing enrich each other’s meaning. In the first part, we shall observe the ways in which the painters captured the dynamic progression of the various types of vision (active, internal and contemplative) as well as the ways in which they addressed the phenomenon of disimagination. The second part of this study will highlight the fact that the image supports the spiritual and meditative practices of the faithful through various processes and techniques (mnemonic, participative etc.). The third part of the analysis will focus on the visual treatment of a key idea defined by Ruysbroeck the Admirable, and adapted by the authors of the Modern Devotion: dat ghemeine leven (the common life)
Vert, Xavier. "Le portrait-charge : image infamante, caricature et contre-figure en Italie, de la Renaissance à l'Age baroque." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0101.
Full textThe portrait-charge defines itself at the crossroads of historical, anthropological and philosophical disciplines, on the hypothesis of going beyond caricature history into an anthropology of charge. On the one hand, this implies re-examining caricature on the basis of the operations to which it submits the effigy in mobilizing a pragmatic conception of the instance of the viewer. On the other hand, this implies reconceiving the notion of charge, by questionning its status and implementation as well as its various relationships with social practices, beliefs, law, and theology. The general framework of this thesis is the study of the afflictive portrait from the Renaissance up to the threshold of the baroque period. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the charge of images in the perspective of a figurability of outragous and infamous practices. The next step is to assess an element of ambiguity and derision within an aggressive use of the image. The phenomenon of derision is indeed one of the most complex, if one does not strip its individual and social manifestations of its theological implication. Linking caricature to this phenomenon does not simply mean to see in it the opposite of an aesthetic and heroic ideal, but also and above aIl, one of the major forms of comic inversion
Schaub, Nicolas. "L'Armée d'Afrique et la représentation de l'Algérie sous la Monarchie de juillet." Strasbourg, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010STRA1021.
Full textMany artists followed the Army of Africa after the conquest of Algiers in 1830. What corpus of pictures did these artists constitute and how did they achieve it? How did these pictures get around? To what extent did they play a role in the formation of the European orientalism during the XIXe century? These are the questions we wanted to answer in this thesis. Between 1830 and 1850 the military and political conquest of the Algerian space comes with the diffusion of textual and visual creations (engravings, drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures) that shaped the algerian territory. In a few decades, a spreading of contradictory and relatively autonomous representations reached the European public. The circulation of these orientalist features took advantage of the expansion of the industrial processes in the domain of image-making. The affects carried by these pictures influenced our gaze durably, and are still active today. Any understanding of the genesis of these pictures implies a review of the complex relationships between image-makers, and military or political authorities that imposed the new colonial setting in Algeria. Most artists to whom one owes the strongest pictures of the XIXe century visual culture were themselves enlisted among the soldiers. This work argues that it has become a necessity to trace back the path of these artists and image-makers that returned from Algeria with their experiences of the land, elaborating representations that belong without any doubt to the ‘orientalists’ fantasies, but also rest upon a particular perception of reality

Full textSubject of the present study, concerned with the iconography of childhood, is the illustration of three types of children: the imperial, the noble and the common. The first two types are often traced in family portraits; the common child icon is mainly studied in Christological scenes, in scenes with saints and in scenes portraying certain liturgical activities. In the first chapter the status of children within society is briefly addressed, while in chapters two and three using a variety of works of art as example, supported also, when that possible, by textual evidence of the period that produced them, a more thorough analysis of the presence of children in the iconography is attempted. Some of these are analysed in more detail as arguments establishing a new interpretation of scenes arise, as is the case of the portrait of “Despotissa” of Arta Theodora who is depicted with a little prince or others because of their remarkable iconographical theme, such as the composition of the Entry into Jerusalem. This study is not exhaustive, but it is an effort to understand, through the iconography of childhood, which was the place and role of children in the byzantine society of Paleologan times. The icon of children is the product of a period of constant changes in both the political and social field where the individual finds new means of emancipation, and donors, as well as artists, have more often the opportunity to take initiatives. The artistic production proposes new iconographic formulas or revisits the old ones. In this context, the presence of children is constant and manifests its own value

Full textThis thesis is proposing un historic and iconographical study about bohemian in Europe and most particularly in the french society during the seventeenth century. We have divided our work into two distincthy parties, i. E. One side historic and sociological and the other side structhy iconographical. On the first side, we have proposed to study the history and the specificities about those mythical people through the historical and the literary statements. This typological study about bohemians in the ancient france helped us to understand the sources inspirations whose artists disposed. If they form groups or if they developped a personality of one's own, even as a leading or as a secondary person intergrated in the plastic arts which we have study in the second part. We have distinguished two big kind of works : profane works and religions. In one case or in another, the artist is using the most of times the bohemian figure with a moralizing objective. The remarkable presence of the bohemian in the iconography is mirrored the imaginaires and the spirituality of the occidenta societies at the seventeenth century
