El, Haj Alan. "Introduction to the concept of chastity." Thesis, McGill University, 2004. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=79934.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of chastity has not figured prominently in the discourse on sex education or philosophy in general. If and when it does arise, it is treated cursorily at best and is almost always misrepresented. This thesis undertakes to re-present the concept of chastity by situating it against the context of four contemporary philosophical concerns: the problem of technology; the search for authenticity; the experience of beauty; and the anthropology of violence. Within this context chastity emerges as the anthropological hermeneutic which reveals human sexuality and identity in a manner consistent with the ideal of authenticity and the horizon of beauty. In the absence of this hermeneutic, identity and sexuality are revealed against a horizon of technology and violence, and confined and distorted accordingly. This has implications for sex education: the authentic education of sexuality is an education in chastity.

Full textAbstract:
William Shakespeare and Margaret Cavendish each published plays and poems focusing on the precarious implications and cultural enactments of female chastity in their time. Their lives and writing careers bookend a time when chastity's place in English politics, religion, and social life was perceived as crucial for women while also being challenged and radically redefined. This paper engages in period-specific definitions of virginity and chastity, and with modern scholarship on the same, to explore the historicity of chastity and how representations of self-enforced chastity create opportunities for female political power in certain fiction contexts. Through a comparison of the female protagonists of Measure for Measure and Assaulted and Pursued Chastity—Isabella and Travellia—I argue that both characters are able to assert and gain practical forms of power within their respective systems of government, and not just in spiritual or economic spheres.

Full textAbstract:
‘Chastity on the Early Modern English Stage’ seeks to explain the relationship between tragicomedy’s brief and short-lived English popularity and the royal cult of chastity which spanned exactly the same historical time-frame. This study attempts to define a cultural movement which influenced the political, religious, social, intellectual, aesthetic, and medical fields in the first half of the seventeenth-century and argues that the narrative tropes which structured, and assisted the spread of, the post-Elizabethan cult of chastity were the same tropes governing the tragicomedies so popular in the period. The arguments made for tragicomedy are speculatively extended to all generic forms, with the intention of expanding an area of scholarship still dominated by formalist analysis. By focussing on narrative tropes and locating them within both fictional and non-fictional texts and in the presentation and discussion of significant events (from medical discoveries to liturgical arrangements and royal birthing rituals) this thesis aims to illustrate that the human and cosmic visions articulated by different dramatic genres were as relevant to early modern lives outside the theatre as they were to those within it. Genre is thus less a description of a text’s formal characteristics and more a set of truths governing certain human experiences both in texts and in life. Focussing on Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, two plays by John Ford, Caroline court masques and birthing rituals, Milton’s A Maske and a number of non-professional performances (from the Earl of Castlehaven’s trial to William Harvey’s demonstration of the circulation of the blood), ‘Chastity on the Early Modern English Stage’ describes the four tropes of chastity and their place in tragicomic experience from the death of Elizabeth I to the beheading of Charles I. While Charles’s death and the closure of the theatres are crucial reasons for the abrupt end of the cult of chastity and tragicomedy, this thesis argues that cause must also be attributed to the efforts of pro-Parliamentary and Puritan writers who, throughout the 1630s and 1640s, sought to claim the tropes of chastity for their own rhetoric and cause. Their success resulted in a redefinition of chastity as masculine, individuated, Parliamentarian, Protestant, intellectual, civic and prosaic instead of Catholic, royal, spectacular, feminised, Marian, pietised, and theatrical.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the sixteenth-century English Reformation background of Spenser's Faerie Queene, Book 3. Recovering this material is not simply a matter of opening a Bible, for various groups in the period, both Catholic and Reformer, interpreted its passages differently. The Book's four primary female characters, Belphoebe, Florimell, Britomart and Amoret, embody different aspects of the virtue, and these come into sharper focus in the light of this background. After a general survey of previous discussions of this topic, Chapter 1 examines the virgin Belphoebe and attitudes about celibacy and virginity current in sixteenth-century England, finding that neither Catholic nor Reformer disparaged this state, although in practice they differed dramatically. Chapter 2, considering the plight of Florimell, shows how her actions demonstrate that her chastity is, as these Reformation writers urge, a matter of the mind and soul, the springs from which virtue and its opposites flow. Her quality derives from such inner conviction. Next, Chapter 3, looking at Britomart, shows that Reformation writers generally do not speak of human love, even in marriage, in a way that comes close to Spenser's poem. However, when they deal with spiritual love, the love the soul is to have for God, they describe it in terms which sound very like those of passionate romantic love. The final chapter brings the insights of the preceding essay to bear on the closing cantos and Amoret's distress. Seen against this background, while she may appear helpless, her mind, like Florimell's, is constant and firm; she remains chaste. Indeed, she prefers imprisonment and even death, to surrendering to her captor. Like both Belphoebe and Britomart, what underlies her behaviour is her prior love for her beloved, which is the basis of her chastity, just as the Reformation writers understand it. The perspective on Spenser's poem provided by this Reformation material gives rise to new insights into the text

Phillips, Holly Adams. "To Cover Our Daughters: A Modern Chastity Ritual in Evangelical America." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2009. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/rs_theses/28.
Full textAbstract:
Over the last ten years, a newly created ritual called a Purity Ball has become increasingly popular in American evangelical communities. In much of the present literature, Purity Balls are assumed solely to address a daughter’s emerging sexuality in a ritual designed to counteract evolving American norms on sexuality; however, the ritual may carry additional latent sociological functions. While experienced explicitly by the individual participants as a celebration of father/daughter relationships and a means to address evolutionary sexual mating strategies, Purity Balls may implicitly regenerate existing social hierarchy. This ritual facilitates a sociological purpose by means of re-establishing the role of the male through halting the psychological development of sexual identity in the daughter, and these rituals are enacted in the ownership of the daughter by the father, who is responsible for maintaining the daughter’s purity, for “covering her with his protection.”

Hampton, Catherine Mary. "Chastity : a literary and cultural icon of the French sixteenth-century court." Thesis, Durham University, 1996. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/5442/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the Renaissance understanding of the virtue of chastity within the French court, countering the view that the Renaissance courtier perceived chastity to be simply an attribute properly assigned to women as a protective virtue. From within a context of Renaissance moral paradigms, religious and secular, this study demonstrates how the French nobility championed individual perfectibility and denounced passion, embracing reason as paramount moral virtue and valorizing social codes of conduct as signs of rational activity. The rational control of the body in a social context was perceived to be necessary to the smooth- running of the State, and this control was symbolically represented as 'chastity', being grounded upon principles of self-restraint familiar to women, who were nominally pre-eminent in this area of behaviour. Such an analysis informed the discourse of Perfect Love played out at court, in which a chaste female beloved stood as an icon of universal concord. Through her perfect status she induced a publicly chaste conduct in her lover, whose pursuit was rational and stabilizing to the social milieu. This 'chaste' game was a fiction which had little relevance to private morality, but was concerned with exhibiting chaste harmony to the public gaze. It exalted the female form as an icon of the purified social body, thereby bestowing symbolic control upon woman. This study also explores the extent to which the Renaissance noblewoman was a prisoner of her own corporeal nature within this chaste discourse of love. She was influential by reason of the sexual purity attributed to her, but precariously so, because her very sexuality risked the accusation that her real 'virtue' lay not in her purity, but in her dissimulation of desire.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the poetry of three women included in Jonathan Swift's circle of friends in Dublin. The demands of chastity and related tensions for eighteenth-century women provide a context for the poems and reputations of Constantia Grierson, Laetitia Pilkington and Mary Barber. Chapter 1 provides personal histories and an overview of their relationships to Swift. Chapter 2 explores familial and gender issues alongside the problematic implications of appearing in print. The final chapter deals with the persona each poet created in order to realize her ambitions, and the dubious success with which publication was accomplished. Images of near-saint, coquette and righteous matron have informed speculation about Grierson, Pilkington, and Barber respectively, originating in Grierson's apparent lack of ambition. Pilkington's divorce and audacity in printing her memoirs, and Barber's emphasis that she wrote "to improve the minds of (her) children". Simplified versions of the lives of writing, women are a produce not only of (frequently misogynistic) misunderstandings; they also result from taking these poets at their word, believing the re-creations on the page.

Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo compreender os discursos veiculados pelo mercado de produtos eróticos na construção de novas convenções morais. O enfoque analítico em seus processos de comercialização foi organizado através de observações exploratórias em duas edições das principais feiras eróticas brasileiras, bem como pela experiência etnográfica em um sex shop localizado no Complexo do Alemão, Zona Norte da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Dentre as reflexões propostas, algumas questões foram levantadas: Como o mercado erótico produz e transforma hierarquias de gênero e sexualidade? De que forma suas verdades são agenciadas nas práticas eróticas contemporâneas? Aliado ao reflexo das recentes mudanças políticas e econômicas observadas na favela em questão, os limites e trânsitos entre norma e transgressão apontaram para narrativas nas quais as classificações do erotismo se estabelecem em constante diálogo com o processo civilizador.
This work intended to understand the speeches of erotic products market in the construction of new moral conventions that circulate in this context. The analytical approach in their marketing processes were organized through exploratory observations in two Brazilian editions of erotic fairs, as well as the ethnographic experience on a sex shop located in Complexo do Alemão, one of the biggest favelas located in North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Among the reflections proposed, some issues were raised: How the erotic market produces and transforms hierarchies of gender and sexuality? How their truths transforms contemporary erotic practices? Associated with the reflection of the recent political and economic changes observed in this especially urban space, limits and movement between norm and transgression points to narratives in which the ratings of eroticism is settled in constant dialogue with the civilizing process.

Tillier, Monica. "Un traité d’amour tardif : le Précis des martyrs d’amour de Muġulṭāy." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009LYO20051.
Full textAbstract:
Dans la littérature arabo-islamique médiévale, le thème de l’amour a été traité par un grand nombre d’ouvrages en prose. Un véritable genre littéraire des traités d’amour courtois s’est développé à partir du IIIe/IXe siècle. Si les débuts et l’“âge d’or” du genre ont déjà fait l’objet d’études, ses développements tardifs demeurent encore inexplorés. Le Wāḍiḥ al-mubīn fī ḏikr man ustušhida min al-muḥibbīn, écrit par Muġulṭāy (762/1361), présente à ce titre des caractères originaux. A travers l’analyse littéraire de ce texte, il apparaît en effet que le Wāḍiḥ, tout en s’appuyant sur le patrimoine littéraire sur l’amour courtois qui le précède, se fait porteur d’une conception tout à fait nouvelle du Ýišq (amour-passion) ainsi que d’une théorie originale du martyre par amour. Par les déclarations mêmes de son auteur, de même que par sa structure et par son contenu, l’ouvrage se présente comme un manuel de comportement à suivre. La conception de l’amour que l’ouvrage sous-tend constitue donc un véritable tournant dans l’histoire du genre. Le Wāḍiḥ est le seul ouvrage de ce type à avoir été censuré. Les raisons de l’hostilité que l’ouvrage a rencontrée auprès des autorités mameloukes sont à rechercher dans la “théorie de l’amour” prônée par Muġulṭāy. Elle ne se dégage pas seulement de sa longue introduction, mais transparaît aussi dans la comparaison entre les notices du Wāḍiḥ et celles d’autres ouvrages du patrimoine arabo-islamique médiéval. Tout en rapportant des aḫbār très connus, Muġulṭāy réussit à les refondre de manière novatrice. Il présente ses histoires d’amour et de mort comme matière à édifier ses lecteurs. Le comportement des amants mentionnés dans le Wāḍiḥ, qu’ils soient les victimes de l’amour profane (hétérosexuel ou homosexuel) ou de l’amour de Dieu, est toujours présenté comme exemplaire. Ses martyrs deviennent dès lors des modèles de conduite à suivre par tout bon musulmanIn medieval Arabic Islamic literature, the topic of love was treated in a quite big number of prose works. A true literary genre of courtly love treatises started to develop from the 3rd/9th century. While the first period and the “golden age” of this genre have already been quite intensely studied, its later development remains still unexplored. The al-Wāḍiḥ al-mubīn fī ḏikr man ustušhida min al-muḥibbīn written by Muġulṭāy (762/1361), even though it has its place among the treatises of this genre, has its own special features. The analysis of the text shows that, even if it is based on the traditional literary background of courtly love, the Wāḍiḥ defends a very new notion of passionate love and an original theory of martyrdom of love. Muġulṭāy presents his work as a handbook of good behaviour. A confirmation of this intention is to be found in the structure and the content of his treatise. Muġulṭāy’s approach of courtly love represents then a real turning point in the history of the gender. The Wāḍiḥ is the only courtly love treatise that has been censored by political and religious authorities. The reasons of the interdiction that has stricken the book are probably to be sought in Muġulṭāy’s theory of love. The author explains his theory’s main features in the introduction, but also in lover’s stories as the comparison between the aḫbār in the Wāḍiḥ and others books of Arabic literature shows. Even if the stories are very well known and have been told again and again, the fact that Muġulṭāy is presenting his histories like edification matter for his reader changes them in something really new. No difference is made between his lovers who can be the victims of God love as well as of profane love (heterosexual or homosexual). They are all martyrs and became the models of the behaviour that has to be followed by every good Muslim

Harris, Eilidh. "Depictions of sainthood in the Latin saints' lives of twelfth-century England." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/6315.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the depiction of saintly figures within the Latin vitae of twelfth-century England (1066–c.1215). It tests the extent to which these depictions are homogeneous and examines what factors may have shaped representations. Analysis focuses on vitae of twelfth-century saints, a sample of texts that have not previously been examined as a corpus in this way. By encompassing a range of different types of saint, authors and contexts, utilising this corpus allows a comparative examination of how different facets of sainthood could be expressed in hagiography. The textual analysis at the heart of this study aims to unpick individual texts' ideals of saintly behaviour. Whilst hagiographers functioned within a well-established genre, considering a wide range of saints' vitae allows scrutiny of the impact of context in shaping depictions. It will be argued that these portrayals of saintly figures demonstrate thematic harmony which is tempered by individuality and context to form recognisable and yet distinctive depictions of sainthood. The analysis is structured around four common hagiographical themes, each worthy of detailed examination: Outer Appearance, Sexuality and Chastity, Food and Fasting, and Death. Chapter 1 investigates how saintly figures are described in terms of physical appearance, deportment and demeanour, and clothing. Chapter 2 focuses upon sexuality, exploring the manifestations of chastity and virginity within the Lives and testing how this might vary from saint to saint and between the sexes. Chapter 3 examines food and food abstention, previously under-represented in secondary literature on twelfth-century hagiography and on male saints. The thesis ends with a consideration of death, a surprisingly understudied theme in Anglophone scholarship. By examining the process of dying and the moment of mortality, this chapter will fill an important analytical vacuum between lived sanctity and sanctity in death.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of an anthropological investigation of discourses and practices associated with premarital sexuality in the context of contemporary urban Turkey. Grounded in thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Istanbul, this thesis draws on the experiences of local women – and to some extent, local men – threading on their concerns and experiences about virginity and premarital sex while exploring the relationship between sexual moralities and the city, controversies on the theme of abortion, the relationship between contraceptive choices and sexual moralities, the normativity of marriage and the respective construction of the marriageable subject, and the centrality of perceptions about the hymen in articulating processes of social reproduction. Through an exploration of these realms of experience, the thesis argues that an ethnographic approach to sexual moralities in the context of Turkey benefits from an historical approach to the events of the foundation of the republic. I suggest that the rhetoric of territorial loss, territorial partition and defence of actual and symbolic frontiers is a crucial part of processes of socialisation of new generations into contemporary identities, and is relived in people’s perceptions of the rupture of the hymen. Thus, the hymenocentric approach to virginity in Turkey conflates history and a politics of belonging in terms of a mereographic nexus of part/ whole, manifested in dilemmas of belonging as ‘part of’ (family, neighbourhood, city, and nation) or as ‘apart from’ (family, neighbourhood, city, and nation). This, I suggest, allows younger generations into an embodied mimetic experience of the initial dramas posed at the foundation of the republic.

Introduce the notion of vice as otherwise to human nature and seek its etymological meaning, approaching with the neotestamentary perspective of sin and malice. This notion is based in aristotelian and augustinian notion, used by Thomas Aquinas. Also present two virtues inside of the christian thought about the sexuality. They are temperance and chastity. The temperance is a virtue that orders the pleasures of tact, and regulates the chastity. Finally, we show that is possible in thomistic thought admit the legitimacy of sexual pleasure and also the natural necessity in relations, and this relations just can be designed inside of legitimate marriage

Full textAbstract:
L'obligation de célibat imposée aux ecclésiastiques catholiques fait l'objet de discussions depuis le début de l'église chrétienne, mais au cours du XVIIIe siècle, elle est de plus en plus considéré d'un point de vue politique plutôt que théologique. Le but de cette thèse est de reconstruire la naissance, le développement et la diffusion en Europe de la nouvelle perspective - laïque et séculière - d'envisager l'interdiction au clergé de se marier, née de la «crise de la conscience européenne" et sous l'impulsion des Lumières radicales. Grâce à l'analyse et l'étude de la littérature philosophique et politique européenne, cette thèse reconstruit le débat sur le célibat ecclésiastique dès la fin du XVIIe siècle et jusqu'à la Révolution française, lorsque la laïcisation du mariage permit aux ecclésiastiques, hommes et femmes, de se marier. Cette approche a permis de rendre compte de la complexité d'une question qui sous-tend le problème des rapports entre l'état et l'église, et de l'articulation des différentes positions critiques et orientations idéologiques : de la critique des Lumières radicales à la critique modérée, de l'approche d'observateurs ecclésiastiques intérieurs - clercs et experts en droit canon - qui proposent des prudentes réformes du célibat, à la fermeture complète des conservateurs. Les accusations portées par les révolutionnaires à la chasteté et au célibat, la question de «mariage des prêtres» et la plupart des critiques qui recouvrent encore le célibat ecclésiastique ont leurs racines dans le débat du XVIIIe siècle et dans l'émancipation du regard critique avec lequel les Lumières radicales ont prirent à considérer l'église et ses règlesMandatory clerical celibacy for all clergy within catholic countries has been discussed since the beginning of the Christian church. During the eighteenth century, it was increasingly taken into consideration from a political rather than strictly theological point of view. The purpose of this thesis is to reconstruct the creation, development and dissemination in Europe of a new way - secular and lay – of considering the obligation of the clergy to be unmarried that arose from the "crisis of the European conscience" and developed thanks to radical Enlightenment.Through the analysis and study of philosophical and political literature, this thesis reconstructs the debate on clerical celibacy which arose within the European Republic of Letters from the late seventeenth century up until the French Revolution, when the secularization of marriage allowed secular and regular clergy, women and men to get married. This approach has made it possible to account for the complexity of a debate that underlies the problem of the relationship between church and state and the articulation of the different ideological positions: from radical to moderate criticism; from the approach of observers inside the church – clerics or experts in canon law - who proposed cautious reforms to the complete refusal of the conservatives.The accusations levelled against chastity and celibacy by revolutionaries, the issue concerning "married priests" and many criticisms that still invest ecclesiastical celibacy have their roots in the eighteenth-century debate and the secular emancipation of the critical perspective from which radical Enlightenment started to consider the church and its rules

Šis tyrimas skirtas atskleisti etikos ir biologijos mokytojų, įgyvendinančių „Rengimo šeimai ir lytiškumo ugdymo programą“ (toliau RŠLU), profesinio tobulėjimo poreikius Kauno vidurinėse mokyklose ir gimnazijose. Išanalizavus mokslinę pedagoginę, psichologinę, metodinę literatūrą nagrinėjamos problematikos aspektu, buvo suformuluoti reikalavimai, kurie reikalingi įgyvendinti RŠLU programą. Atskleidžiama mokytojų žinios vykdyti RŠLU programą, tiriamųjų vertybinės nuostatos šeimos, kontracepcijos ir užsimezgusios gyvybės atžvilgiu.
Tyrime dalyvavo 69 mokytojai iš 34 Kauno vidurinių mokyklų ir gimnazijų. Pagrindiniai tyrimo metodai – anoniminė anketinė apklausa (tyrimo ataskaitos anketos dalis adaptuota S. Ustilaitės ir kt.) ir testas. Testą – anketą pildė etikos ir biologijos mokytojai.
Mokytojai, įgyvendinantys RŠLU programą, privalo gebėti atskirti tokius sąvokų apibrėžimus kaip lytiškumas, lytinis švietimas, lytinis ugdymas ir lytiškumo ugdymas, taip pat turi žinoti lytinio ir lytiškumo ugdymo principus, amžiaus tarpsnių psichologiją, tėvų vaidmenį lytinio ir lytiškumo ugdyme ir kaip turi būti pateikiamos ugdytiniams žinios apie kontracepciją.
Tyrimo duomenys rodo, jog ne visi respondentai turi pakankamai specifinių žinių, reikalingų įgyvendinti RŠLU programą. Didžioji dauguma respondentų (65%) negeba atskirti lytiškumo sąvokos nuo lyties apibrėžimo, taipogi lytinio švietimo, lytinio ugdymo ir lytiškumo ugdymo sąvokų.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the legend of the Italian virgin martyr, Saint Maria Goretti (1890-1902). Her legend states that she died at the age of eleven protecting her virginity from her assailant Alessandro Serenelli who stabbed her numerous times, and that she granted him forgiveness before she died. Hence, she has been promoted as an example of purity and mercy. The continued relevance of Saint Maria Goretti is demonstrated by the fact that her figure was used to promote the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis and first announced in March 2015. The aim of the current study is to examine how Maria Goretti has been portrayed in the Catholic tradition. This is done by analysing Maria Goretti’s official representation found in the papal discourse about her (which consists of homilies, discourses, Angelus, messages and a letter), as well as by analysing the devotional discourse which in this study is comprised of two books that belong to the genre of hagiography. The chosen books: St. Maria Goretti, by Marie Cecilia Buehrle (1950), and St. Maria Goretti: In garments all red, by Fr. Godfrey Poage, C.P. (1950) can be included among the classics written about Saint Maria Goretti in English. I deploy a thematic narrative analysis as method in which I’m concerned with content in terms of themes, and with the ways in which characters are represented. Uncovering the themes that are discussed in the papal discourse and the devotional discourse about Saint Maria Goretti contributes to a better understanding of her representation and, in some measure, to a reconsideration of what she represents. A part of this thesis focuses on the aspects of Maria Goretti’s representation that can be considered problematic because of the claim that it is preferable to choose to be killed rather than to be raped. Therefore, it becomes necessary to include the discourse that treats Goretti’s story from a critical point of view which in this study embraces ethical, psychological, and feminist perspectives. The legend of Maria Goretti has been the object of arguably many studies. This thesis, nonetheless, contributes with a more detailed analysis of the discourse about Maria Goretti at the official level as well as the devotional level. I also seek to give insight into the genre of hagiography and to elucidate that the edeavour of portraying a wholly virtuous individual does not come without it’s complications in terms of the interpretations that can be made of the images that are conveyed. The analysis shows, among other things, that the representation of Maria Goretti misses aspects of reality and the complexity and multifariousness of the subject of sexual violence. I argue that a wholesome and more comprehensive representation of Saint Maria Goretti should include expert knowledge of sexual violence, especially that which can be found within the field of psychology.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study sought to explore and describe the self-reporting experiences of victims/survivors of clergy sexual misconduct against adults (CSMAA) within the Australian Roman Catholic Church (RCC). These under-researched experiences were then compared with Anson Shupe’s theory of clergy malfeasance and its modes and tactics of neutralisation used against those who expose institutional deviance and corruption. The findings were that while, superficially, victims/survivors were positively responded to in some way, for the most part, these adult victims are actually viewed with suspicion, mainly because of their age. Accordingly, victims/survivors experienced further traumatisation, often more impactful than the initial abuse.

Full textAbstract:
Comment parler de la chasteté dans la perspective du mariage catholique, alors que la notion de chasteté est aujourd'hui très ignorée? Prenant pour point de départ une enquête sociologique qui confronte l'opinion de la jeunesse française et polonaise sur la chasteté, la thèse progresse ensuite à travers des documents de la tradition chrétienne, puis débouche sur le domaine des sciences humaines. La position du Magistère de l'Eglise est étudiée dans une perspective historique. Dans tous les cas, la chasteté est une notion polysémique à laquelle s'attachent historiquement des contresens. La continence, l'abstinence, la virginité, la pureté font partie de son champ sémantique, sans que la chasteté puisse se ramener plus exclusivement à l'un ou l'autre de ces termes. La chasteté, valeur essentielle pour l'homme, participe à l'intégration de sa sexualité. Elle l'ouvre à une relation de juste distance. Elle est pour lui un chemin d'épanouissement, chemin de crête toujours à reprendreHow can we presently speak of chastity in the perspective of catholic marriage when the notion of chastity is today widely unknown? Beginning with a sociological survey, confronting the opinions of French and Polish youth about chastity, the thesis then progresses through documents of catholic tradition and emerges in the humanities domain. The Church's Magisterium will be studied through its biblical and patristic sources, in an historical perspective. In any case, chastity is a polysemic notion, historically misinterpreted. Continence, abstinence, virginity and purity are part of its semantic field, although the concept of chastity cannot be reduced exclusively to one or the other of these terms. Chastity remains an essential value for men and women and participates in the integration of their sexuality. Chastity pushes towards a relation with an adequate distance. Chastity is a path towards fulfilment, a crest path needing unrelenting attempts to maintain equilibrium

This thesis presents a mathematical framework for real-time sensor-driven stochastic modeling of story and user-story interaction, which I call sto(ry)chastics. Almost all sensor-driven interactive entertainment, art, and architecture installations today rely on one-to-one mappings between content and participant's actions to tell a story. These mappings chain small subsets of scripted content, and do not attempt to understand the public's intention or desires during interaction, and therefore are rigid, ad hoc, prone to error, and lack depth in communication of meaning and expressive power. Sto(ry)chastics uses graphical probabilistic modeling of story fragments and participant input, gathered from sensors, to tell a story to the user, as a function of people's estimated intentions and desires during interaction. Using a Bayesian network approach for combined modeling of users, sensors, and story, sto(ry)chastics, as opposed to traditional systems based on one- to-one mappings, is flexible, reconfigurable, adaptive, context-sensitive, robust, accessible, and able to explain its choices. To illustrate sto(ry)chastics, this thesis describes the museum wearable, which orchestrates an audiovisual narration as a function of the visitor's interests and physical path in the museum. The museum wearable is a lightweight and small computer that people carry inside a shoulder pack. It offers an audiovisual augmentation of the surrounding environment using a small eye-piece display attached to conventional headphones. The wearable prototype described in this document relies on a custom-designed
(cont.) long-range infrared location-identification sensor to gather information on where and how long the visitor stops in the museum galleries. It uses this information as input to, or observations of, a (dynamic) Bayesian network, selected from a variety of possible models designed for this research. It then delivers an audiovisual narration to the visitor as a function of the estimated visitor type, and interactively in time and space. The network has been tested and validated on observed visitor tracking data by parameter learning using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm, and by performance analysis of the model with the learned parameters. Estimation of the visitor's preferences, in addition to the type, using additional sensors, and examples of sensor fusion, are provided in a simulated environment. The main contribution of this research is to show that (dynamic) Bayesian networks are a powerful modeling technique to couple inputs to outputs for real-time sensor-driven multimedia audiovisual stories, such as those that are triggered by the body in motion in a sensor-instrumented interactive narrative space. The coarse and noisy sensor inputs are coupled to digital media outputs via a user model, and estimated probabilistically by a Bayesian network ...

Les gloses antiques et médiévales nourrissent l'image mythique mouvante de la triple déesse, Diane chasseresse terrestre, Hécate infernale, Phœbé / Cynthia céleste. Au XVIe siècle, les métamorphoses poétiques de l'allusion à la chaste Diane (en tension avec d'autres chasseurs ovidiens comme Actéon et Hippolyte, et avec Vénus, en lien avec Endymion) révèlent des mécanismes modifiant le scénario mythique : parallélismes ou opposition, adjonction, troncation ou interchangeabilité de mythèmes. Comment s'opèrent les réfections intergénériques (transvestitio du mythe) en poésie, théâtre, mythographie, emblématique et dans les célébrations officielles d'Élisabeth Ire ? Ces utilisations dévoilent la mécanique créative du mythe et des fonctionnements de l'insertion fabuleuse dans le théâtre écrit et joué. Médiateur entre les divers plans de la représentation, le Corps attirant mais interdit de Diane interroge les passions humaines (désir, pouvoir, savoir) en incarnant la quête d'un idéalThe mythic image of the triple goddess, Diana, a huntress on earth, Hecate in Hell and Phœbe / Cynthia in heaven, derives from classical and medieval commentaries. In the XVIth century, the allusions to chaste Diana (related to other hunters such as Actaeon or Hippolytus, to her opponent Venus, and also to Endymion) undergo poetic metamorphoses which unveil how the mythical scenario can be changed by the use of structures: parallelisms or oppositions, additions to, shortening or interchangeability of mythic motifs. How does intergeneric refashioning of the myth (transvestitio) intervene in poems, drama, mythography, emblems and political celebrations of Elizabeth I? These uses point to mythological creation and to the working of how the legendary allusion is woven into dramatic and performance text. Linking several levels of the performance, Diana's Body, enticing but forbidden, brings into question human passion for desire, power and knowledge while embodying the quest for an ideal

The memorial archway is a unique architectural feature in China that combines the function of a gate and an arch design. Its form originated from the ancient Heng Gate, and its function stemmed from the local community public administration system called the “Li-fang (district zoning) System”. The archway was set up to denote a resident’s social status; therefore it also reflected his or her identity. To make the archway more exuberantly decorated with architectural details and embellishments, carved pillars and towers were gradually integrated. In the Song Dynasty, the Li-fang System faded away due to social and economic prosperity. This led to getting rid of the wall and the gate functions of the memorial archway, which became a small-scale architectural attraction. During the Ming Dynasty, the archway was used as a reward of honor from the emperor, and during the Qing Dynasty, it focused on honoring the virtue of widows’ chastity. Due to the Qing court’s well-established virtue recognition system, the number of people who were qualified to be recognized with an archway greatly increased, and as a result, most archways existing today were those installed during the Qing Dynasty. The female chastity archway represented an honor from the royal court and was thus highly significant in politics and moral teachings; such attributes were applied to the form of the archway, leading to its design uniformity. Its look was not apt to change in the effort to highlight the court’s policy of virtue recognition and moral teachings. In addition, craftsmanship was employed for the image arrangement on the archway in order to highlight such a policy to the greatest extent; moreover, the exquisite design also enabled beholders to get the most appreciation from varied distances and angles. Taiwan’s existing Qing dynasty chastity archways are in accord with the above forms and images. The uniformity in form and image arrangement contributes to the formality of the archway, and becomes internalized in beholders’ consciousness in regard to the customary and visual meanings of the archway. The process of appreciation is that the beholders compare and corroborate the archways they learn about from historical data and the actual archway they see; it is also in this process that the royal court’s “unspoken teachings” are conveyed.

San-Yen, which contained enormous stories about the “chastity” of women, was edited by Feng Meng-Lung (1574- ca. 1646). Therefore, the main issues pointed out in this thesis are the conflicts and integrations of views of chastity that are presented in San-Yen. At first, with the means of listing and analysis, the characters and plots which contains the meanings of “chen”, ”chieh”, ”lieh” are compiled and analyzed. The second part deals with the classifying and analyzing about the plots of the conflictive views of “chastity”. Finally, with the concerning of “Discourse of Affection” and San-Yen, this thesis tries to find out the causes of conflicts and the possibility to integrate such conflicts. By listing the plots resulted from chastity, analyzing every single story, and connecting the causes of conflicts and “Discourse of Affection”, this thesis seeks to connect the “Affection” of discourse of affection with the views of chastity in San-Yen.

This study is about eros and chastity before marriage, discussing and comparing the Catholic and anthropological viewpoints. The two viewpoints have four areas of basic consensus: a) a high quality love relationship must be altruistic and committed; b) altruistic love with commitment leads to fruitful sex; c) persons must have moral responsibilities in the field of eros; d) chastity before marriage has positive meaning for eros. These areas of consensus finally lead to the conclusion that chastity before marriage is an important factor for people who want to acquire a high quality heterosexual relationship. A high quality relationship comprises high quality love and sex. A high quality love relationship is altruistic and committed. Consequently, before marriage, heterosexual relationships should put more emphasis on the spiritual dimension, as this will help them foster an altruistic love with commitment. In contrast, passion or physical satisfaction do not guarantee a stable, deep-going and lasting relationship; on the contrary, it may become a negative factor, making the relationship unstable. On the other hand, if someone wants to have good sex, his/her sexual behavior should be inside marriage, where altruistic love and commitment are found. Marital sex normally gives the greatest sexual satisfaction, for it includes physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual interaction of two persons. Furthermore, marital sex can lead to very fruitful and concrete outcomes, as well as providing a harmonious love experience. But in order to acquire a high quality heterosexual relationship, persons must accept moral responsibilities. When someone can offer true and altruistic love, and show one’s commitment, loyalty, care, responsibility and respect in eros, it means that she/he has good love-power, good conducts and virtues, which are key factors in building mature love and fruitful sex. In other words, when someone can keep chastity before marriage out of one’s own free will, then these characteristics appear. One will probably have a high quality heterosexual relationship, a successful marriage and will lead a constructive life style. In fact, the reason why Catholic doctrine and anthropology have a consensus on eros and chastity before marriage, is because they see that human beings do not have physical needs only. Sexual satisfaction highly depends on several important factors: physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects, whereas love and spiritual factors are more important than physical satisfaction. When people see the positive meaning of chastity before marriage, then they support the ideal of chastity before marriage deeply from their heart and put it into practice. On the other hand, Christian faith can help people not only to avoid getting hurt, but also to have a happy ending in a love relationship, through the fostering of altruistic love and virtues.

In my thesis, I try to explore the double bind of charity and chastity in Frances Burney’s Cecilia. Charity’s entanglement with chastity is a knotty problem for Cecilia. When Cecilia practices charity, her charity is often associated with sexual transgression and incompatible with feminine propriety. By portraying Cecilia’s difficulty of maintaining both her charity and chastity without being censured, Burney exposes eighteenth-century women’s predicaments imposed by the norm of feminine propriety in patriarchal society. Burney’s manipulation of the interrelation and conflict between charity and chastity show her great insight and distinctive ways of writing. In the analysis of women and charity, I emphasize Burney’s three major concerns about charity: economy, “controlled sensibility” and utility. In discussing women’s crucible of chastity, I underline Burney’s depiction of patriarchal fetters on women’s feminine propriety. In addition, I specify how Burney’s ambivalence toward charity and chastity and how feminine propriety are used as a clever disguise by Burney to subvert and transcend patriarchal strictures on women. This thesis’s focus on the complicated entanglement of charity and chastity and its implication for our understanding of eighteenth-century English society are forwarded by Burney’s delicate representation of the double bind.
