Abstract:

This dissertation is intended to demonstrate the presence of a contemporary gnostic spirit in the novels of Robertson Davies.<br>The dominance of Protestant puritanism in English Canadian culture is a frequent theme in the literature of the nation. In his writing, Robertson Davies counters the repressive dynamics of a society shaped by puritanism with an appeal to an alternate vision. This vision, which places greater value on self-knowledge, bears a strong affinity to the precepts of the ancient gnostics.<br>Davies' critique of an English Canadian context which appears to place higher value o

Abstract:

Este estudo trata sobre os cristãos, de ontem e de hoje, ante a tentação de se acomodarem ao mundo. Ele toma como ponto de apoio o Ap 2-3. Na primeira parte, a pesquisa estabelece um paralelo entre o Apocalipse de São João, a Apocalíptica judaica e o movimento profético que precedeu o movimento apocalíptico, em Israel. Embora aproximem-se mais da literatura profética, devido ao otimismo demonstrado com relação à história presente, as cartas dirigidas às Igrejas da Ásia Menor, segundo Ap 2-3, são marcadas por uma linguagem simbólica associada a momentos de crise, uma vez que o contexto dessas I

Abstract:

Raymond Queneau s'intéresse au mythe, comme bien d'autres écrivains. Mais quel est le rapport qu'il entretient avec cet imaginaire collectif ? Notre propos est d'examiner la particularité des idées de Queneau sur le mythe, dans tous les sens du terme. Il est question d'abord d'observer ce que signifie le " mythe " pour Queneau, en considérant comment ses relations avec les surréalistes et Georges Bataille l'ont sensibilisé aux sciences humaines et sociales en vogue au début du XXe siècle, et en étudiant sa lecture de Nietzsche et Joyce qui réfléchissent sur le mythe et la littérature.

Abstract:

This study examines the influence of various Western mystical traditions on Leonard Cohen’s second novel, Beautiful Losers. It begins with a discussion of Cohen’s public remarks concerning religion and mysticism followed by an assessment of twentieth century Canadian criticism on Beautiful Losers. Three thematic chapters comprise the majority of the study, each concerning a different mystical tradition—Kabbalism, Gnosticism, and Christian mysticism, respectively. The author considers Beautiful Losers in relation to these systems, concluding that the novel effectively depicts the pursuit of God

Abstract:

According to Gnosticism, the original sin which prompted man to be expelled from Heaven was the sin against the Holy Spirit. This offence would be strictly connected to sexuality, consisting mainly on fornication and adultery. The disobedient behavior towards the Lord’s Laws, then, made God banish sinners to a place where they should suffer until they could be redeemed by their own good deeds and saintly conduct. In The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the main characters have to suffer the consequences of their sin and struggle against their own nature to achieve redemption and be puri

Abstract:

Within the science fiction genre, utopian as well as dystopian experiments have found equal representation. This balanced treatment of two diametrically opposed social constructs results from a focus on the future for which this particular genre is well known. Philip K. Dick’s VALIS, Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, Samuel R. Delany’s Babel-17, and Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby, more aptly characterized as speculative fiction because of its use of magic against scientific social subjugation, each tackle dystopian qualities of contemporary society by analyzing the power that language possesses in the

Abstract:

La relation entre la peinture et la littérature persane était étroitement liée pendant toute l'histoire del'Iran après la conquête de l'Islam. Ce sont souvent les sujets mystiques qui dominent la littérature persane et ils se manifestent également dans la peinture par l'illustration des divans et des ouvrages soufis. C'est ainsi que la peinture persane est le grand témoin de l'approche gnostique et elle possède une dimension mystique transcendante. Les éléments et les symboles, inspirés des métaphores sublimes de la littérature soufie persane, nous orientent vers des interprétations mystiques

Reprendre contact avec les réalités de l’âme, rouvrir la source où l’être rejaillit éternellement : tel est l’idéal occulte, inavouable, d’où procède la poétique d’Hubert Aquin. Depuis sa jeunesse, Aquin s’emploie clandestinement à défaire les mailles de la conscience et à rebrousser chemin vers les arrière-plans ténébreux du Moi, vers le Plérôme de la vie nue. Il manœuvre pour se mettre au service de l’intentionnalité impersonnelle inscrite au plus profond de sa psyché, pour devenir l’instrument du vouloir aveugle « qui opère en lui comme une force d’inertie ». Son œuvre ne s’accomplit pas da
