Cousin, Catherine. "La représentation de l'espace et du passage des enfers en Grèce et en Italie jusqu'au IVè siècle av. J. C. : étude littéraire et iconographique." Paris 10, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA100154.
Full textThis thesis is composed of a literary and iconographical study until the end of Vth century before Christ in Greece and Italy. The literary part, dealing with Greek poetry, is divided into three chapters: epic poetry, lyric poetry and drama. A special attention paid to the vocabulary used by the different authors, as shown the evolution of the notion os space and scenery in the underworld, the birth of new ideas. The iconographical study has also three chapters, the second of which, the polyglots' Nekyia in the Lesche at Delphi, is a turning point in the conception of the underworld scenery. The first chapter includes iconographical documents relative to the underworld until the beginning of the Vth century, the third one from Polygnotos to the end of the Vth century. Making up series of pictures on the same theme made it possible to establish a list of characters, objects and signs which permitted the identification of such and such a picture and to observe their chronological evolution. Literature and iconography concur in their conceptions of hades: if there is for both of them a notion of the underworld space, on the contrary, the notion of landscape remains very vague. The real space marks are the soul’s enumerated in the texts and placed side by side in the pictures, without any precise geographical concern. Only a few documents lead us inside the hades. Authors and artists mainly show its surroundings. They only deal with the boundary of the kingdom of the dead. Nevertheless, one can notice an evolution: at the beginning, the underworld setting was imagined as the opposite of the earthly world, then, through the centuries, it tends to become common place and similar to it, even to be shown in a better way
Kuttner-Homs, Stanislas. "L'héritage de la littérature antique autoréférentielle dans l’œuvre de Nicétas Chôniatès." Caen, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016CAEN1036.
Full textThis work is dedicated to the study of self-reference in Ancient and Byzantine literature through the works of the historian and orator Niketas Choniates (c. 1155-c. 1217). Self-reference can be understood through three prisms: as the staging of the author himself ; as self-quotation; as the self-reference of texts themselves (metapoetics). As heir of a secular literary tradition, Niketas Choniates’ art seems to be self-referential. But because it is obvious that the concepts inherited from the Ancients by the Byzantine literati have drastically changed, it is necessary to go back from the Komnenos Era (XIth-XIIth c. ) to the "pretheoric" Era (Homer and Hesiod). Therefore, this study of self-reference achieves a double movement: in one hand, a diachronic movement from Troy to Byzantium, dealing with the constitution of the Ancient literary way of thinking; in the other hand, a reverse diachronic movement from Niketas to Homer, which is about the reception of Ancient thought by a Master of the Byzantine literature. Here, the self-reference is the hinge point of this two movements and maybe the nodal point of two civilizations

Full textWith a set of texts belonging to Latin literature from Varron to Augustine's generation, this work aims to show how the word chaos and the concept of chaos are understood by the writers through the ages. This work is based on a lexical and semantic survey with a care of genres and periods in which chaos appears. Both factors are able to underline the way the word is used and its specificity compared to the Greek legacy, while the definition of the themes and their interaction around chaos prove the semantic coherence of the word. Belonging to mythical and poetical thoughts, chaos influences the question of the origins as for creation and matter and that of the becoming of the universe ; it determines a specific representation of pagan and Christian hell, in its relation with the world of alive by the means of the magic and the sacred. Chaos thus defines an eschatologic vision linked with moral standards, which are embodied by the notions of pietas, humilitas, uirtus and fides

Full text«The Greeks and Romans did not analyze the trouble of mind deeply enough to give a common denomination to a kind of its symptoms, as relevant as they may be. They surely observed and knew hallucinations, of which we are talking about. But they did not recollect them under a general definition». This was the opinion of the French physician L.-F. Lélut (L’amulette de Pascal, 1846), a statement which clearly reflects the opinion of scientists of his time about ancient analysis of psychopathological sensory alterations. Exception made for a positivistic interest, aiming at recognizing psychiatric categories in some pathological phenomena depicted in classical literature, no general study has ever been devoted to the relationship between cognitive alterations and pathological disorders of perception. This research intends to address such shortcoming through a long-term investigation of classical texts, by taking into account this cluster of pathological experiences, from Pre-Socratic physiology to the medical treatises of Late Antiquity. This work is structured in three sections: first, a methodological introduction and an analysis of the current state of art leads to an inquiry on Hippocratic texts about cognitive and sensory alterations (5th- 4th centuries BC). A comparison between medical literature and theatrical episodes of visionary madness reveals the chronological and speculative priority of Euripidean representations of morbid visions as deceptive phenomena, in opposition to the archaic image of the visionary as ‘master of truth’. The second part of the thesis focuses on the history of philosophical thought about troubles of perception, from Alcmæon to Epictetus, through the twofold lens of physiology of perception and epistemology. By refusing the Pre-Socratic materialistic model, Plato and Aristotle openly formulated the problem of distorted perceptions of madness in terms of truth and falsehood and physiological explicability, in order to push back sophistic and relativistic arguments. The development of Hellenistic Stoic/Academic debates originated from an analogous opposition between dogmatic conceptions – resting upon a ‘pre-established harmony’ between men and their objects of knowledge – and, on the other side, skeptical objections about the supposed indiscernibility of sane and mad perceptions. The core of this debate, which lasted until the end of the Platonic Academy in the 1st century BC, was perpetuated by the Middle Stoicism and then received by the subsequent medical tradition: in the third section, particular attention is devoted to the treatises written by Celsus, Aretæaus of Cappadocia, Asclepiades, Galen, Cælius Aurelianus, in which the Hellenistic philosophical heritage grafted on to the earlier clinical and pharmacological traditions. This turning point represents the very foundation of every medical consideration about sensory disorders until the end of Classical Antiquity

Full textThis research is focused on the general agreement around m. Blanchot's proposition who says that literature goes to its disappearance. According with r. Barthes, this thesis oppose an historical approche which pretends that it wouldn't be a disappearance of literature, but it would be a connection between the "political signification of literature" and "the usury of the representatif form of narration". This usury is explained on the basis of the pre-eminence of the pictural model -the description gives evidence of this-, over the paradigm of the body - which concerns the enonciation. This pre-eminence of the pictural could be progressive from the first to the second sophistic, and could affirm itself with balzac. Later, in the twentieth century it could disappear. This thesis infers that any question about the situation of literature must take in account the reasons why modernity is fascinated by m. Blanchot's theory. Then, this work reduces the disappearance of literature to the history, using an examination of the rhetoric and poetic treatises

Full textThis study is made up of two parts, aiming to combine two approaches often dissociated within modern historiography : a narrative and a historical one. The version of history handed down by tradition about the Early Republic is structured around the struggle of the orders and more specifically around three bones of contention : the issue of debts , the agrarian laws and the sharing of the consular power. These three temes have been selected as the approach paths in both parts of this study. The research carried out in this way has led to a better understanding of how tradition was elaborated from a narrative point of view : it first confirms taht the concordia-discordia concepts are the basis of the whole construction of the narrative, then demonstrates the existence of a set of four master patterns for staging one of the four possible types of social struggle (traditional or inverted patricio-plebeian struggle, patricio-patrician or plebeio-plebeian struggle) : such variation can be explained by the fact that many historical elements available to the narrator did not fit the traditional theme of the struggle of the orders. Secondly, our research shows that these narrative tools were used to reinterpret a history that was not that of Rome alone, but of the Latin League as a whole : with the key to interpretation previously identified, but also thanks to many contradictions pervading the narrative, it is possible to trace the stages of formation of the federal army and institutions, but also the various means used by Rome to gradually get hold of the Latin League

Full textFar from being a direct and passive consequence of writing, reading forms an independent subject of study and even offers on the roman world a precious standpoint, as it enables us to go beyond the bounds of the traditional opposition between orality and literacy and to analyze the way speech and writing combine their effects. Despite the existence of silent reading, reading aloud is still in use in occidental culture till the 8th century. Why the voice did not abdicate? By studying the different forms of loud reading, we found that vocalization is not only intended to give sense and to communicate, but that it contributes to make writing efficient. Reading aloud is not a simple oral deciphering. It may be used to produce some text (recitatio). As "silent speech", funerary inscriptions institute a fiction, revealing the necessity for the reader to fill the gap that is left by the writer. Lastly, the "double vocalization" process (praeire verbis) characterizing a few types of rituals, answers the double necessity of producing an entirely public statement and of reconciling a paradoxal aspiration of continuity and change

Full textSiphnos was the single Cyclade which owns gold and silver-lead mines. Thanks to that, its radiance was important as far back as three thousand years b-c. The oldest archeological remain ever found on a mining working place in the Aegean belongs to Agios Sostis. Siphnos owns a capital Cycladic necropolis as it allows thinking that the distinction between the Grotta-Pelos and Keros-Syros cultures belonging to the early Cycladic is not geographical, but chronological. Two important acropolis were excavated, the one belongs to the LH III B and the other to the archaic period. A network of towers belonging mainly to the 4th century b-C protects the island. The prosperity of Siphnos was great in the antiquity and enabled the island to edify a treasure in the sanctuary of Delphi in the 6th century b-c: the Siphnians had then the reputation to be the richest insulars

Full textThe ingenious progress of the means of likelihood, the required combination of art and the virtual, the interest for archives, the will of reality ect., that characterize our time, have given a particular interest to the question of "why fiction?", both in the philosophical reflections and the poetical investigations. In its two end-points, this question concerns both literary and historiographical discourses. Western thought has traditionally referred to its Greek origins in order to answer the question. Yet most of the time, the answer is formulated in a bipolar, referential framework consisting of the real and the fictional. Instead, in the present work, the issue is to move back up the Greek legacy in search of some art and fiction thought which goes beyond this referential framework. Doing this, we can identify the elements of a different reading of Greek thought which is actually involved in the very starting point of the poetics developed within the Islamico-Iranian cultural world : an oriental poetics which is to be considered another becoming of Greek poetics. Through theoretical, literary and historiographical discourses in Post-Islamic Iran, the author tries to show this oriental poetics requires thinking fiction now in a tripartite schema : the relationship between the real and the fictional takes necessarily into account a third pole that one can call the truth or the real of reality. From a comparative perspective, the tripartite schema could help to think the general issue of fiction in a different way

Full textHow did an antique character such as Psyche, with a Mediterranean background, find a place within English-language literatures? English-writing authors have in fact multiplied the ways in which they have approached and ceaselessly reinvented the myth, generally around the notion of ideal. Indeed, throughout the centuries, the myth gradually brought about an idealistic tradition whereby this goddess became a figure both idealised and which was made to fit into various ideals.But conversely, Psyche also had this perfect image tarnished. Many writers decided to part with this idealistic tradition, looking for ways in which to distort the story. This rewriting is often based on a physical and moral decomposition of the character. This degradation thus releases her from her previous idealised and constraining forms, and enables her to enter new literary and modern fields, with anti-idealised versions of both her adventures and her marriage to Cupid

Full textFormed as an autonomous field of study of the art of war as early as the end of the 5th century BC, poliorcetics – a practice inseparable from τέχνη – has generated a work of conceptualisation favouring the development of a specific literature. Hence that one of the oldest military treatises – Αἰνείου πολιορκητικά – was devoted to it is in no way fortuitous. Dating back to the 4th century BC, Aeneas Tacticus’s work prompted a new literary tradition which ended, seven centuries later, with Vegetius’s Epitoma. This legacy from the past forms a systemic corpus: that of early poliorcetics, which is the focus of our research, based on two issues. To begin with, is was advisable to introduce as a matter of fact, all of them were not soldiers or in the military. Then, we had to point out the surprising modernity of these ols treatises. This quality gives them a universal and timeless character. Without it, would such treatises have been taken up as they were during the Renaissance? In addition, we have tried a character to come out : the military writer of this time. The second deals with combatants’ tactics and war machines, as main themes of those treatises that did not ignore fortifications. In that field, Philo of Byzantium took on the role of theoretician

Full textIn Rome, where theatre is a theatre of pure play, ghosts appearing in Seneque’s tragedies are no anthropological ghosts but pure images with a theatrical operator purpose : within a prologue they have a performing function lying in starting the show, and within the narration they release the characters from the “dolor” so that the show can be genuinely started. In Greece, ghosts appearing in Eschyle’s and Euripide’s plays have a mixed function : informative, for the stories originate in mythology but get modified by dramatists, and performing for they act on the course of the show. In contemporary theatre (Pasolini, Gabily, Bond, Koltès, Müller) which, unlike the other two, is not a ritual and codified theatre but a theatre of representation, phantoms are built after signifying images. However, dramatists systematically release themselves from these original images in order to set up specifically theatrical space and time, proper to ghosts, especially by using different forms of meta-theatre. Meetings with the living do not ever reproduce extra-theatrical patterns but occur, within each play, as unprecedented meetings taking place concurrently to the theatrical narrative. They are used for defining the theatrical space as a space of play where, thanks to the ghosts, a specific relations created between the stage and the audience, based on recognition and taking the place of the classical relation of identification. Ghosts are pointers of playfulness and allow the director to consider playful stagings, sequences in which they intervene, establishing an ephemeral but real sociability between the actors and the audience

Full textThis research on the Poemi conviviali focuses on the analysis of the work’s esthetical and philosophical aspects. The first chapter is devoted to a thorough examination of the subjects that are the fundamentals of the author’s poetics and thought, namely the past, the classical tradition and childwood, both in psychological and historical perspectives. After understanding the basics aesthetics of the Poemi conviviali, the second chapter defines the concepts of « dream » and « poetical dream » in Pascoli’s production, both in prose and in verses; these are key concepts since they allow a better understanding of the inspiration as well as the internal structure of the Poemi conviviali. After explaining the theories of the authors, five poemes are analysed vers by vers; they are « Solon », « Il cieco di Chio », « La cetra di Achille », « Le memnonidi » and « I gemelli ». Furthermore a chapter is devoted to examine the character of Achilles, alter ego of the « fanciullino ». The philological approach of this research helps clearly see the link between Pascoli’s poetry, and his classical models, as well as his own late-century symbolism

Full textMyths, as well as their dominant figures, heroes, have attracted people throughout time. Since their first days of existence, people turned to them whenever they were needed. Medieval people were an eloquent example. Therefore, references to those narrations which managed to survive through time, as well as to those heroes were frequent. At first, those references existed simply because nobody was able to object to or turn down these references. They were auctoritas which referred to real events. The authors of this era were not asked to create, but to pass them on to the illiterate. Furthermore, they possess a formating role. They constitute questioneless archetypal models. Medieval people also resort to those narrations so that they are able to determine their behavior or adapt an attitude appropriate to their origin, their gender and their age. In addition, reference to particular incidents intends to instruct them or prevent them by means of exposing the harmful results of an incompatible behavior with the laws of society or nature.Finally, writers refer to stories regarding ancient heroes because they realize that it is the optimal way to get through their message.The fact that they promote the model of the perfect leader, contributes to consolidation of aristocracy at a time when the class seems to be threatened by a new rising class, the bourgeoisie. Furthermore, they take the opportunity of inculcating their aspirations in an effort to form a better society. So according to them, the perfect lord should be generous, wise and educated, able to handle his fief wisely, in harmony. On the other hand, we acknowledge the authors’ contribution to the formation of society. Even if they are not members of the class of knights, they also contribute to the suitable management of society by the means of their knowledge

Full textThrough the collation and classification of the accounts of Hermogenes' doctrine (Hermogenes was a heretical christian who lived at the end of the second century), we are entitled to apprehend the originality of a thinking which was essentially concerned with the creation of the world and the essence of the matter, with evil, with the human soul, and with Jesus Christ's ascension and resurrection. At the basis of each of these topics there is a questioning about the status of material reality. It was essentially through his refusal of an ex nihilo creation as well as his resorting to dualism that Hermogenes stood at the core of the debates during the first centuries of the Christian era. When replaced into this context Hermogenes may be considered as a platonic christian, but also as a gnosticising one. And this is all the more obvious when one bears in mind his belies in a material origin of the soul, in a disorderly matter, lurking below the cosmos, and disturbing the order, and in the coming of a savour who, as he did not take part in the creation of the universe, has come to save us from a world steeped in the matter. The present analysis of Tertullian's tratise, which deals with the question of the creation of the world, is a good way to go further into the controversies of this time. Based on a new critical edition and on a french translation of the treatise, this study offers its readers a philological, philosophical and historical commentary. It is also the opportunity to make an attempt at synthesizing the theology of the creation which is at work in the writings of Tertullian, who was one of the first thinkers to develop the dogma of an ex nihilo creation

Full textBased on the study of 32 Greek and Latin ancient epics (or epyllions), we intend to prove in this work that fate - with the meaning of predicted future or finished life - constitutes a literary figure rather than an historical, philosophical or religious figure. From a chronological point of view, fate neither alters its nature nor loosens power in the Antiquity, from the first till the late epics. Philosophically, fate's stoic conception has important consequences for only two epics, one Greek, the other Latin. Finally, regarding religious mythology, Jupiter and the Parcae have a role in the determination of fate approximately similar to the one of Zeus and the Moirai. Meanwhile, fate is a literary figure. In the linguistic field of fate, the two main pairs, μοῖρα - κήρ (moïra - kèr) and fatum - fortuna, have very different features. And fate has an essential literary function. First, a simulated suppression of fate impoverishes heroes' personality ; it damages most epics structure ; it sometimes destroys their subject. Then, fate has three literary functions : it promotes story's clarity, it preserves or improves its interest and allows to magnify the story

Full textThe ancient texts, either geographical or not, offer us many cases of confusions between India and Ethiopia i. E. Anything relating to Africa is often named Indian and inversely. These many confusions whose a systematic inventory has been established appear in different fields: geography, history, mythology, fauna, flora and mineralogy. A careful study of all these texts allows us to understand much better the nature of this phenomenon. There is not a simple kind of confusion and the confusion is rarely a simple error. Particularly, it seems that Greek and roman people, contrary to the moderns, did not feel the confusion between India and Ethiopia as a problem. In others respects, this is not an uniform phenomenon. It has developed during the antiquity different evolutions, but it has been never really flagged. This analysis is completed with a thorough study of the texts written by authors who were inclined, more than others, to make confusions. The research of the causes of this phenomenon leads us to several directions. The Mesopotamian influence (the two meluhha) does not seem to be proved, but the Greek and roman way of thinking has led an important part. The geographical knowledge during the antiquity is a cause of confusion as well as the Indian Ocean trade which has fostered it. Finally, in certain cases, this phenomenon does not find its explanation in general causes but in individual causes which originates often in literature

Full textBy its difference and its similarity, the man with the dark skin appeals to the elders who, from the Greek scientists, wanted to find geographical and climatic reasons, that is to say “scientific reasons”, to his otherness. It is the ancient Roman world that was chosen as the framework of this research. A corpus of literary, historical and philosophical Latin texts is used in a wide chronological range (from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD), however, in comparison with the Greek referents. The work is based on a lexicological approach, with the study of the Latin words of color and their different connotations, to investigate the interactions between evocation of skin color 'other' and social, philosophical, religious of the ancient Roman world. What are the dark-skinned men with whom the Romans came in contact, who came to the city, and what place they held, restricted between what limits and what functions, with what impact on their new environment - and on themselves. If necessary, the iconographic documentation is also requested. The field of patristic literature is explored, in which the dark-skinned man occupies a certain place, and we try to characterize the symbolic dimension that he acquires in the early Christian writers. The contributions of the foregoing experts (Fr. M Snowden Jr., L. S Senghor) are critically taken into account, taking into account the difficulty experienced by moderns in abstracting from their own cultural, conceptual and intellectual study these realities of contact between people with different skin color in the Roman world of antiquity

Full textBefore the image of the genealogical tree became common in the West, Latin language already compared the family to a tree. Lineage is described as a stirps (a stump, trunk or plant). Descendants are called "offspring" (stirps, suboles, propago) or "seed" (semen, satus). Family develoment is described in vegetal terms : to layer (propagare), to prune (recidere), to graft (inserere). Adoption - the process of establishing a legal family unit comprising members who are not biologically related - is sometimes referred to as grafting (insitio). Across societies, human lineage is established by a system not limited to biological breeding. Paradoxically, vegetal images are used to describe social units as elements of nature. Despite their common use, these metaphors convey a strongly ideological conception of lineage. While early Roman texts show the existence of a complementary maternal filiation, the vegetal representation focuses primarily on patrilinear descent and corporate group. Individuals receive their identity from the group ; they also serve as temprary representatives of the lineage to outsiders. Vegetal metaphors establish a strict boundary between legitimate members of a lineage and those who are not included in it. This border is extrapolated to society at large. The same metaphors distinguish between members of the nobilitas who are endowed with a stirps and those who are not. Therefore, the order observed in nature is used as a model for legitimising social order

Full textReading the Greek geographical and historical descriptions written before the time of Eratosthenes, one notices that, for all these authors, the Euxine Pontus was not yet a geographical concept : places, peoples and actions, mythical, literary and historical, located in this region from a modern perspective, were situated by the Greeks of the Archaic and Classical times either in the “Beyond”, or in the North of the œkouménè, or in some other non-Aegaean Hellas, or in a “Scythian arc”. The history of this geographical (as well as ethnographic and historical) figure constitutes the main focus of the present research. I begin with some theoretical prolegomena, in which I suggest, amongst other things, a new taxonomy of ancient spatial perceptions, including “hodological”, “topological”, and “oekoumenological” points of view, as well as a definition of ancient geography based upon notions of heterogeneity, transgenericity, conservatism, and determinism. With this terminological foundation established, and employing a combination of evidence (linguistic, ancient and occasionally mediaeval literature, history, iconography, and Pontic archaeology), in the five chapters that follow, I analyse the Pontic references to be found in the Homeric epics, in Hesiod, Eumelus of Corinth, Hipponax, Aristeas of Proconnesus, Hecataeus of Miletus, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus’s Histories, Hippocrates’ De aere, Xenophon’s Anabasis, Pseudo-Scylax’s Periplus, and the fragments of Eratosthenes. The dissertation therefore leads to a history of the perceptions and representations of the Black Sea region and, more broadly, of the Greek œkoumene in Archaic and Classical times
Romaggi-Trautmann, Magali. "La figure de Narcisse dans la littérature et la pensée médiévales." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE2143/document.
Full textGreek myths « font signe sans signifier, montrant, dérobant, toujours limpides disant le mystère transparent, le mystère de la transparence2 ». With these words, Maurice Blanchot insists on the very mystery of all myth. It is also the case for the myth of the Narcissus that has known a considerable success in the medieval time but for which it is difficult to … a stable meaning. It is the famous Augustinian poet Ovidius myth that the medieval authors inherited. They added new meanings to the already rich legend, following the footsteps of Ovidius.Narcissus is foremost a figure in love. Narcissus is the unfortunate lover who suffers such a strong passion he dies from it. What he is in love with can be ignored in the medieval versions. Even if he loved a shadow, it is the intensity of his love and the funest consequences the texts insist on. Passion drives Narcissus on the road to death : spiritual death because of Madness et physical death. Narcissus was a prime subject for fin’amor poetry. Troubadours and trouveres made of Narcissus the perfect example of the fin amant between the XIIth and XIIIth centuries. Moreover Narcissus is the deeply linked to the representation of the melancholic that came from the psycho-physiological philosophical and medical theories of love.Moral Reading were also inspired by the myth. Indeed, Narcissus becomes a sinner full of flaws Under the Christian vision of the myth. Pride is the origin of all the flaws: vanity and arrogance are direct consequences. Narcissus becomes the perfect incarnation of these sins. Depending of the point of view the condemnation may vary but the idea is still the same: Narcissus is self-important and is too pleased with himself. Finally the water from the source, one of the most important aspect of the Narcissus mythology, became the meeting point of several traditions which interlaced in the medieval work: biblical water on one side and neoplatonician conceptions of reflection and ancient myth of Narcissus. The ancient fons transforms itself into a medieval fountain and a true mirror. The mirror becomes more and more independent from the surface of water. The phantasmatical dimension of the Narcissus love for his reflection is developed

Full textIn the introductions to their works, the 4th and 5thcenturies' authors, be they pagan or christian, reveal their faith to the traditional rhetoric and mainly to Ciceron's "De inuentione". The introductory texts called in latin "exordium", "prologus", "prooemium", "praefatio" and "praefatiuncula" take on forms as varied as the oratory "exordium", the poetical "prooeminium, the dedicatory epistle and preface, which all imitate the oratory "exordium" codified from the poetic tradition. As we have demonstrated, the choice of an introductory text depends on the genre of work because the each literary genre corresponds a specific kind of text. Besides, the presence of some elements which are external to the "exordium" testifies more to our author's will to go beyond the mere presentation of the work rather than to a rejection of the rhetoric of th "exordium". The introductory text then becomes a text open not only to the external events but also to different people: dedicatees and interlocutors. Hence the emergence of the preface increasingly used by the Christiens, who are fond of justifications and consequently develop this introductory genre following thus in the steps of Jerome

Full textA very few astronomical texts are preserved in the Syriac manuscripts collections of the occidental European libraries. But some of them present an interesting content : their testimonies bring us to note that between the 6th and the 7th century, Syriac scholarship could progressively make a considerable effort to understand high level astronomical Greek texts (with a preference for the production of Ptolemy and Theon of Alexandria) and to transmit the concepts in their own language. Our demonstration is directly based on the observation of the preserved texts : some of them are edited and translated in that present work and we established some datation criterion by using all of the known texts. The last strong point of this work is the Syriac-French astronomical lexicon, wich will enable, as we hope, the future edition and translation of syriac astronomical texts
Roussel, Monique. "Biographie légendaire d’Achille d'après les sources antiques." Dijon, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986DIJOL001.
Full textThe introduction presents in chronological order - from the beginnings of Greek literature to the byzantine scholars - the literary sources on which this reconstitution of the mythical life of the Greek hero Achilles has been based; it also defines how the iconographical documents - which only represent an extra contribution - have been used. The following seven chapters correspond to the different episodes in Achilles’ life : 1) Achilles’ origins; 2) Achilles’ childhood ; 3) Achilles and the preludes to the Troyan war 4) Achilles and the first difficulties of the Troyan expedition; 5) Achilles during the first years of the Troyan war ;6) Achilles during the last year of the Troyan war; 7) Achilles death and after-life. The account of the legendary events has always been connected with the sources on which it is based and incorporates the different known variants. Hence some reflections about the origin of these variants, about their interactions and about the influence of similar myths. In the present study the author has used and compared the accounts of Greek and Latin writers, poets and prose-writers as well, and the analyses of their ancient and modern commentators
Toffoli, Ian de. "La réception du latin et de la culture antique chez Claude Simon, Pascal Quignard et Jean Sorrente." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040220.
Full textWhen a critic’s work intends to focus on the presence of Latin and classic culture in the work of contemporary writers, one thinks foremost of the notion of heritage. But it is this notion of heritage that poses a problem. One has to approach it in a very prudent way, as if it would be a lure, even though it is attested in the works of our three authors, through the use of recurrent formal parallels, Latin quotations, and the transposition and rewriting of ancient texts. Indeed, though it is evident that these works show an apparent continuity both in form and in cultural content, the reinvested Latin Antiquity looses its particular status: it is neither object of the text, nor voice of the authority, nor proof of erudition (although it sometimes pretends to be), nor treasure box of rhetorical tools that help seducing the reader: on the contrary, it is a trap for the reader who places his trust solely in his cultural knowledge. The reinvestment that our three authors apply to the Latin text and culture gets dangerously close either to the stereotype, the commonplace, either to a completely personal reuse of antique culture. Latin is thus either a product of their artistic imagination (and as such cannot be totally identified with the dead language that we know), either part of the textual productivity of their writing, which means that it must be considered as a reusable material rather than an autonomous text. The bond that ties Claude Simon’s, Pascal Quignard’s and Jean Sorrente’s works to the Latin is thus paradoxical in nature: what they do is reinventing, or rather rewriting Antiquity

Full textBy proposing a comparative study of the ludificator slave in Ancient Roman comedy and of the star-servant in comedies performed in early-modern France, this thesis intends to account for the specifically spectacular value of the ancient theatrical convention of the leading servant. The idea of play, understood both as the servant’s tricks and as theatrical activity itself, is placed in relation to the idea of mastery, regarded both from the fictional point of view of the servant and from the extra-fictional point of view of the actor. The first part of the thesis endeavours to point out the specific structure of Roman comedy roles in spectacular sequences and identifies the leading or ludificator slave as a combination of some particular sequences. It then proposes an interpretation of the comic convention of the seruus ludificator as a promotional representation of theatrical activity and the ritual event of the Ludi. It finally examines the diverse variations of the convention in the twenty-six comedies of the Roman corpus. The second part of this work, although showing the importance of the Roman model in the elaboration of the comic genre in France from the Renaissance, also brings to light the decisive influence of the context of professional theatre, in particular the Parisian “star-system”, in the appearance and strong development of the star-servant phenomenon in seventeenth-century French comedy. Finally, it will account for the transformation of the role into a fixed, institutional part from the 1680s, resulting in a standardisation and progressive disappearance of the convention

Full textThe dissertation provides a corpus of Graeco-Latin literary sources concerning Arabia and Arabs followed by a commentary. More precisely, the corpus opens in the Archaic period with some Homeric verses and ends in the 4th century C.E. with excerpts from the Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus. The words “Arabia” and “Arab” in the ancient textual tradition do not have the same meaning as they do today. On the contrary, after questioning the corpus on what is Arabia as space and on the identity of Arabs, we come to the conclusion that we cannot propose a unique definition because ancient authors vary in their perception. Likewise, the issue of ethnicity is equally complex. Ancient sources refer to tribes as “Arabs” who do not present themselves as Arabs in their inscriptions : Nabateans are referred to as Nabateans Arabs in the texts while this self-definition is unknown in Nabatean inscriptions

Full textThis work deals with the Talmudic ethics of the self, how it differs from other ethical systems of the Mediterranean world of the first centuries CE and in what ways it resembles these systems. Through analysis of texts from classical rabbinic Iiterature, we show that the rabbinic movement developed an anthropological and ethical conception that was dIfferent than the one we find in philosophical and Christian writings of the first centuries. The particularities of the rabbinic ethics of the sel : are studied through the analysis of six themes: all of which figure prominently in rabbinic ethical discussions: repentance (teshuvah), suffering (yissurim) ; master-disciple relationship (rav-talmid) ; the bad inclInation (yetzer ha-ra); the fear of God (yirah) and the relationship between study,and practice of the Law (talmud and ma 'assé). Using the works of Michel Foucault, PIerre Hadot and Vincent Descombes, we try to demonstrate the importance of the rabbinic ethics of the self to the history of the occidental subject and to our way of thinking it, and to articulate its relation to the moral law
Laffon, Amarande. "L’ἀναρχία (anarchia) en Grèce antique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040218.
Full textThe term anarchia refers literally to the absence of power, in the military sphere (that caused by the loss of a commander), and the political sphere (the absence of archontes, specifically the eponymous archon). The concept quickly generalised, coming to designate in the figurative sense the lack and want of power or the rejection and negation of power. It approaches the meanings of insubordination, rebelliousness, unruliness, licentiousness and disorder. The actual experience of power vacuum in the cities of Ancient Greece and how the Greeks represented it and conceptualised it are the three main lines of this research. Anarchia is conceived not only in the city but also in the soul of the individual, in the family, or even in the universe. It demands reflection on the articulation between two seemingly antagonistic principles, the desire for freedom and the necessity of order, and consequently upon the foundations of legitimate authority. This work relies on a precise analysis of the term anarchia in the epigraphic, historical, literary and philosophical sources. The first part deals with actual periods of power vacuum in the ordinary course of political life or in the context of institutional disruption and the implemented remedies. The term anarchia is employed in the cities of Athens, Thasos, Teos, Syros and Berenike. One must add the problematical use of the terms acosmia by Aristotle regarding the Cretan regime and atagia in the Thessalian inscriptions. The second part deals with the semantic evolution of the term from the absence of ruler to anarchy in the work of historians and tragic poets and the role of anarchia in the theory of leadership developed by Xenophon, Plato and Aristotle

Full textThe Bouquechardière is a moralized universal history written from 1416 by Jean deCourcy, a Norman knight. Despite this rather unusual appropriation of a historical genreparticularly rooted in theology, Jean de Courcy's text has not aroused much critical interest. Ourpresent work fills this gap by questioning the way in which the lay author revisits the historicaland homiletic codes that were until then the prerogative of clerics. On a broader level, our studyalso makes it possible to better identify the variability of an auctorial panorama and a literarycommunication in full evolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Coming from a secular culture,Jean de Courcy must impose his intellectual and moral credibility in the field of writing.Without usurping the roles of the cleric or the intellectual, he creates his own « fonctionauteur »: an amateur writer who bases his legitimacy on an experience acquired in the world,an accumulation of knowledge through reading and a devotional attitude. His Christian andedifying approach to reading determines the choice to write an Ancient History at a time whenwriters tend to react to current events. Indeed, the way in which he ordered, compiled, selectedand recomposed the material reveals a strong submission of history to the eschatologicalperspective. Tracing a historical continuum from the actors of Antiquity to the contemporaryreader, the compiler creates the necessary conditions for its actualisation. The spiritual purposeof the reading then allows the surprising insertion of Ovidian fables into the historicalframework. Historicalized mythological fiction contains a hermeneutical potential : it is offeredas a sign of God to be deciphered by using an analogical and allegorical method. It. As a modelreader, Jean de Courcy teaches his own reader to fix the meaning of words and things, so thatwhen the book is closed, the process of « refiguration » of history is born. In other words, thereading leads to spiritual conversion
Coulon, Laurent. "Le discours en Égypte ancienne : éloquence et rhétorique à travers les textes de l'Ancien au Nouvel Empire." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040060.
Full textThis thesis deals with the discourse in ancient Egypt and the various shapes of valorization which matter is the discourse itself as a social activity as well as a literary shape and topic. The question, thus, relates to the way in which the ancient Egyptians have been picturing to themselves the discourse and its applications, its importance, its functions and its aesthetic value. The method adopted is built upon a pragmatic approach in which the texts from the ancient kingdom to the new kingdom that mention the dimension of the discourse (autobiographies, teachings, royal inscriptions, literary or religious texts) are related to their sociological and historical context. It is then possible to draw out, for each period, the place given to eloquence: thus, in the times of united monarchic power, the existence of court eloquence is stated, which is the means of distinction above all. On the contrary, during the first intermediate period, with the local withdrawal of the provinces, an unprecedented spreading out of political eloquence appears in assemblies where the community's future is committed. The literary discourse forms also the subject of a study in so far as it builds a reflection on the part taken by the discourse. During the middle kingdom, productions such as "the eloquent peasant" or "the lamentations of khakheperreseneb" are questioning deeply the lack of social communication or the loss of reference in an official discourse which fairness is fallacious. During the new kingdom, the literature, which had become more autonomous in the sphere of the discourse, appears as an all-powerful rhetoric that trifles with the truth and the false. The study eventually opens on an endeavor to evaluate the Egyptian rhetoric in itself, especially through what links the latter to the magic discourse
Demont, Paul. "La Cité grecque archaïque et classique et l'idéal de tranquillité." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040033.
Full textThe introduction discusses the meanings of hesychia, apragmosyne and schole. The first part shows the growth of an ideal of individual and collective tranquility in archaic Greece, with special reference to the traditional praise of activity and to Pindar’s eighth pythian (translated with historical and literary commentary). The second part studies the democratic topos of the quiet citizen who is involved in politics and litigation and shows that it plays a great part in the literature of the classical period, leading to the demand for a new kind of quiet politics (Aristophanes, Euripides, Thucydides). This accounts for the growth of the schole-ideologies which the third part studies in the philosophers of the fourth century (Xenophon, Plato, Isocrates, Aristotle). Schole is no longer a paradise for idleness, but leisure time for the pursuit of higher activities, politics and philosophy, in contrast to both Demosthenes revival of the democratic topoi and the new epicurean and sceptic ideals. The conclusion emphasizes that, when praising hesychia and schole, the archaic and classical literature of ancient Greece is mainly concerned with political aims, namely the safety of the polis

Full textScientific works on antique food have been tackled for decades. However, there are few researches that deeply treated the place that the food in itself occupied during the Greek civilization. In order to answer that question, we have decided to focus on different documentary sources by comparing them. These sources enabled us to have a typology of the most eaten food by highlighting many phases or culinary mode. We also asked ourselves about culinary methods and the place of the cook by achieving a list of the different people that appeared in the different sources. To be able to do this, we give emphasis to the existence of different schools and specialties taught in Greece and Great Greece. This movement gave way to the creation of a gastronomic literature that was forgotten and yet it could be found in the encyclopedic work of Athénée of Naucratis. During Antiquity, food did not have a gastronomic purpose. Nevertheless, it was used for medical purposes in order to cure different diseases. The different recipes that are the core of this work help us to distinguish the different use of food. However, they prevent us from having a global view on culinary methods on the different scales that constitute Greece and Great Greece’s society. Yet some aspects of this culinary tradition are still carried on. Indeed, it has been noticed in some geographical areas that some recipes or food use used in the religious or cultural context were able to survive
Salis, Pierre de. "Autorité et mémoire : pragmatique et réception de l'autorité épistolaire de Paul de Tarse." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PSLEP018.
Full textThis research examines the letters of Paul of Tarsus, as preserved in the New Testament within the context of letter writing of that time, principally Judean ones. The initial examination questions both the potential of sources such as letters to provide information about an era, and the specific pragmatic potential of the epistolary medium as a means of inducing change in its recipients. As such, the letters of Paul were written not to conserve the historical realities or truths of the past, but to communicate efficiently with diverse circles and various recipients. The two-part examination is used to gain a perspective on the practices of the time, which may have been used as models for epistolary writing. The letter addressing the Judean Diasporas exiles inserted into the narrative of the Book of Jeremy (chapter 29) is such a model, providing a means of communicating over distance and time among the different groups. The epistolary practice of Paul himself is then examined. In particular, his Second letter to Corinthians (chapters 10-13), written in a moment of intense self-examination as his apostolic authority was questioned, is a good example of the pragmatic potential that Paul recognised in the epistolary medium, particularly in light of the prophet Jeremy. Finally, the beginnings of the apostle Paul’s epistolary writing and it’s reception are explored, showing how his credibility as an apostolic authority was quickly and easily recognised as being of the same quality as those of the prophet writers of ancient Israel

Full textThe dissertation consists in a critical edition, from the medieval manuscripts, of Strabo’s Geography book XVII, a description of the countries crossed by the Nile (Egypt and Ethiopia) and Libya written at the turn of our era. It comes with a French translation and a commentary. The introduction reconsiders first the textual tradition of the book to establish the choice of the manuscripts. Then, the author replaces the book XVII in general, and Egypt in particular, within the framework of Strabo’s life and work, and attempts to identify the methodological, stylistic and rhetorical issues of the text, in particular the rhetoric of the praise of Rome and August, structuring principle of the whole Geography. The commentary explains the editorial decisions for establishing the Greek text, and highlights Strabo’s text by confronting it with our other data about the considered spaces and time (geographical, historical, literary, papyrological, epigraphical, archaeological, botanical, zoological)
