Full textThis analysis deals with the writing of the art history of the 1930s by the first French and British exhibitions catalogues dedicated to it, during the ‘60s and ‘70s. We first question the silence of the museums and galleries on the art of the ‘30s : the role played by social demand, historical analysis and art history practice are examined. An explanation of the emergence of the art of the ‘30s during the ‘60s and ‘70s is then proposed. We underline the fact that the temporal sequence of the second world war comes to an end during the ‘60s and that the evolution of the practices of history and art-history then allowed to think the ‘30s. Finally, the writings of the exhibitions catalogues are analyzed. We examine the position of the catalogues in relation to the modernistic paradigm, then, we show that the evolutions that occurred in the social sciences after the 1930s are nascent in these catalogues

Full textThe Second World War occupies a central place in British collective memory. The war, which is considered to be a national myth in Britain, remains pervasive in the British public debate to the point that some commentators call it a national obsession. The war constitutes one of the facets of Britishness at a time when British national identity is much debated and open to question. The representations of the Second World War in Scotland, Wales and Ireland are examined in order to determine whether the war is a British myth or an English myth. Scottish nationalist aspirations, for instance, seem to have an influence on the way the conflict is represented in Scotland. At a time when Britain is more than ever ethnically diverse, this study seeks to determine the extent to which former colonial peoples are able to recognise themselves in the traditional representations of the war which dominate the public debate in Britain. In the midst of an unprecedented boom in remembrance, the Bomber Command crews are an exception. Although their role in the combined bomber offensive (which caused thousands of victims among the German civilian population) had been subjected to much criticism and excluded bomber crews from the myth of the war, they are now hailed as heroes in Britain. Bomber Command’s newly-found heroic status is a turning point in the historiography of the air offensive and the British public debate
Vuong, Thomas. "Usages du sonnet européen (Allemagne, France, Grande-Bretagne, Italie) durant la Seconde Guerre-Mondiale (1939-1945)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCD089.
Full textThis study consists in a wide, comprehensive overview of the usages of the poetic form of the sonnet during the Second World War in France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy. Such a process aims at gathering close readings of sonnets, in order to highlight the mechanisms of a blooming form in the midst of a dürftiger Zeit. Many poets resort indeed to the sonnet in order to give a frame to a singular or collective experience of the chaos unleashed throughout Europe.The way these recourses to the sonnet interact with the role of poetry in a time of wide reception and collective crisis will be scrutinized in the light of political commitment, religious or ideological biases and the questioning of the former foundations of Western European culture, all of which can interfere in poetry’s proper motives.This work’s proposal is that the sonnet can be used as an ordered form, either to set a demiurgic stand in front of the chaotic situation of the continent, or so as to accept it. Neither poetic stances do necessarily lead to a disordering of the form itself ; however, both conservative and rejuvenating usages of the sonnet have in common the ability to deeply question poetry’s relation to the world
Fuchs, Michel. "La Formation d'Edmund Burke." Dijon, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987DIJOL013.
Full textThis study is devoted to the period in Burke's life that precedes his becoming a member of the house of commons. The first two chapters try to bring out the main points of Burke's experience in an Ireland colonized by England, where first the child and then the adolescent becomes aware of the contradictions which surround the accident of his birth. From chapter iii onwards, the whole interpretation focuses on the works written and or published by burke. The account of the European settlements in America reveals the ambiguity of Burke's preoccupations : he wants to understand the colonial world but falls short of condemning it. The vindication of natural society appears much more complex than it has hitherto been considered. The model of satire, represented by Bayle in France and Mandeville in England, enables burke to elaborate an "open" satire that rests on the clash between two systems of values undermining each other, thereby expressing the major contradictions of Burke's time. Chapter v is devoted to Burke's aesthetics. At length are highlighted : the key concepts of the enquiry, the rationalism of Burke's aesthetic thought, the close relationship the latter has with English society. In particular, the sublime, according to burke, does not have much to do with the romantic concept. From the three following chapters and the study as a whole, three theses emerge : 1. The year 1765 is a breaking-point in Burke's career : from a free writer, he lends his "talent" to a cause that will lead him to repudiate many of his earlier opinions. Hence, burke the politician is not necessarily the true burke. 2. Before and even after his coming to parliament, burke is a man of the enlightenment and not an advocate of irrationalism. But he discovers that, in Ireland, reason is warped by the interference of English colonialism. 3. The formative (or deforming) element par excellence is, in the case of burke, this Ireland which is above all an existential structure that constantly informs his personality and turns him into a cultural mulatto
Meloni, Dino. "Cuisine, écriture et savoir : transmissions et renaissance de la cuisine médiévale anglaise (XIe-XVe siècles)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040232.
Full textThe twelfth-century renaissance in England is characterized by the hegemony of the Plantagenets as well as Anglo-Norman intellectual thriving. However, no study has yet defended the thesis of an Anglo-Norman culinary renaissance. This dissertation aims at highlighting the connexity between power, knowledge and cuisine and at demonstrating how the mechanism of translatio imperii et studiorum also sets in motion a dynamic of translatio coquinæ. While an elaborate system of governance supports the flourishing of elite cuisine, gastronomy is itself a legitimizing attribute of Anglo-Norman political strategy and influence. In the twelfth century, the enthusiasm for recently discovered Greco-Arabic culture and knowledge establishes a sense of classical culinary revival and stresses the will to break from Anglo-Saxon heritage. Recovering and improving a glorious past echoes in the concept of "renaissance". The promotion of writing as a receptacle of knowledge is equally fundamental. From the twelfth century onwards, the first Western medieval recipes inherited from Greco-Arabic tradition, reveal a new relationship between writing and cooking. Through the depreciation oral culture and memory, considered unreliable, this renaissance establishes and passes down a strong belief in the civilizing gastronomic progress generated by cookbooks, while in contrast, the absence of recipes involve less sophisticated cooking and a less civilized society. Born from the conception of translatio imperii et studiorum, the translatio coquinae has produced a mythomoteur and a gastronomic myth now firmly rooted in Western culinary heritage and in historiographic methodology dogma
Borot, Luc. "Ecriture de l'histoire et théorie politique chez Thomas Hobbes et James Harrington." Paris 3, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1989PA030048.
Full textThe 17th century in England is an age of mutations in political theory and in the representations of history. Visions of history are pregnant with political and religious intentions, especially in the revolutionary period 1640-1660. In spite of their opposite partisan choices, Hobbes and Harrington reflect these tendencies in their works through their different methods. Hobbes follows a method derived from the nascent exact sciences (Galileo) and resorts to history at the end of his production, to demonstrate the validity of his science of politics. Harrington founds his theory of republican political action upon a philosophy of history. Both try to establish a rational method, Hobbes through deduction and a theory of man, Harrington through understanding of history, and in works that either borrow Hobbes’ geometrical method, or take up the utopian tradition. The translations of Harrington’s shorter treatises The Aphorisms Political and A System of Politics are provided

Full textThis work studies the links between politics and religion in St. Albans Abbey (England) : the intellectual productions of the scriptorium of this Benedictine monastery are discussed in connexion with the way political power and contemporary debates were represented and examined. This work starts with a survey of the links which existed between the monastic community, those involved in politics, and the institutions of the realm. Monks were involved in many different ways in the government of the realm. These activities, the importance of the monastery – place of devotion situated on a major road – explain that monks are to be found in multiscale networks : monks and laic officers were acquainted to local county officers and to nobility. These personal, institutional and sometimes commercial links help us explain some of their opinions about courts and politics. The analysis of the intellectual productions of the St Albans monks is the occasion to understand how one topic – power – is perceived by men whose life experience were different, whereas all had undertaken the same vows in front of God and the rest of the community of St Albans. Hence, representation of political life and contemporary debates by the monks in chronicles is studied and compared to the reflexion on the nature and the limits of royal power in treatises. These reflexions were nourished by various crises, including parliamentary crises, where old debates about the exercise of power were revived. Some of these ideas about the links between temporal and spiritual powers were put on a new light by the proposition of the theologian John Wyclif, Lollards, and also by the new promulgation of statutes intended to limit papal intervention in the English realm. These questions are the subject of a more theoretical part of the study, where I analyse how monks wrote for both kings and popes, depending on the circumstances, but most of all for their own community, in a time when many discussions focused on monastic endowment. This works is an intent to put religious problematics at the heart of our approach to medieval political culture, taking the point of view of men at the crossroad between politics and religion, in a time when the line between political power and spiritual powers was contested
Rivière, de La Souchère Muriel. "De Dunkerque à Nuremberg : le rôle des Anglo-Américains dans la libération de l’Europe au miroir de la télévision française (1949-2009)." Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010IEPP0010.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the representation of the part of the Anglo-Americans in the liberation of Europe on French television between 1949 and 2009. Cut out in three periods, 1949-1963, 1964-May 1981, May 1981-2009, this work shows the influence, throughout the years, of different factors on the account of this moment in history. The analysis sheds a light on the fact that the representation of the part played by the Anglo-Americans in World War Two does represent a memorial stake within the French society: the moving importance given to the Anglo-American role in the liberation of Europe is significant to the links bound by the French with this moment of their history. In this thesis also lays the question of the impact of external influences on the shaping of the television discourse and of the role of this media as a vector of history and memory
Attuel-Hallade, Aude. "Thomas Babington Macaulay et la Révolution française : la pensée libérale whig en débat." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030169.
Full textThe "father of Whig History", Thomas Babington Macaulay, was, during his lifetime and after his death,translated in numerous European countries ( Germany, France, The Netherlands ) as well as outside Europe(Mexico). Embodying, from the end of the nineteenth century, a liberal, progressive and especially nonscientifichistory, denounced by "professional " historians, he remained no less highly present in school anduniversity textbooks up to the Second World War, and even in contemporary and current political speeches.In 1931, and then in 1944, Herbert Butterfield attempted to define his interprétation of history and sought todemonstrate how political action and historical vision embody a pragmatic and reformist model, theantithesis of the French revolutionary model, which explains the exceptional English, British, even imperial,political stability of Great Britain since the Glorious Revolution. Since then, Butterfield's successors, andfirst among them, J. G. A. Pocock and John Burrow, have been shedding light on this liberal, becomenational, whig tradition, soon to be synonymous with the Burkean interpretation of history. However, basedon the dialogue between British liberals ( Whigs such as Millar and Mackintosh, Utilitarians such as theMills, father and son ), and French liberals ( such as Constant, Guizot and Tocqueville), while illustrating inother respects the fruitful exchange between Great Britain and France during the nineteenth century - beforeMacaulay's work was only very episodically translated and commented on in the twentieth century in France- and on a thorough exploration of Macaulay's work on the French Revolution, this study intends todemonstate that beyond the political division of the Whig party during the revolutionary period, Macaulay'sWhig history sanctions a new line of political thought, a new interprétation of the English and FrenchRévolutions and liberal philosophy of history, breaking with Hume and Burke. By placing the political andreligious emancipation of individuals at the heart of history, Macaulay defended the democratization and thesecularization of society and illustrated a post-Revolutionary liberal history, a new Whig paradigm, thatcannot be called conservative nor counter- revolutionary
Di, Lella Francesco. "Il Roman de Brut de Inghilterra. Tradizione manoscritta e tradizioni letterarie." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL015.
Full textThe Roman de Brut, transmitted by thirty-three manuscripts – seventeen of which are complete – constitutes a fundamental text in Old French literary history. Setting aside the work’s fortune in the sphere of romance, this thesis concentrates instead on Wace’s role in regard to the evolution of French insular historiography and the modes of perception of the Breton era, a subject had been introduced ex nihilo only a few years prior by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae. Specifically,the thesis aims to illustrate the consequences of such a process on the text’s manuscript tradition, by analysing certain choices pertaining to the organization of the codices by their scribes, specific variants, and other global re-adaptations. However, Wace’s oeuvre should not be considered as an isolated entity, but should rather be placed in the context of the vast complex of re-adaptations of Geoffrey’s chronicle that appear during the 12th to 14th centuries, and that should be understood as the expression of the same process. Thus, the manuscript tradition of the Roman de Brut evolves together with the convoluted knot of literary traditions that develop from the Historia Regum Britanniae: these do not only influence Wace’s text in its manuscripts, but are themselves shaped by it in turn. Starting from a codicological, stylistic, and ecdotic analysis of the Brut manuscripts, along with a comprehensive reflection on the entirety of Anglo-Norman chronicles on the subject of the Breton era, this thesis illustrates the various faces that the Breton matter has assumed within this production, and its journey towards affirming itself as the origin myth of England’s history

Full textThe notion of religious war emerged for the first time at the end of the 16th century. The use of this term increased immensely during the time of the Thirty Years’ War via printed media. Yet, a widespread discussion of the phenomenon only started towards the end of the 17th century. War of religion became a constant political keyword. The idea gained its historiographical importance through its usage in the actual political debate. The aim of this research is to question the development of the concept of religious war, the underlying perception of history and the labelling of an era with this term. The thesis will confine itself to three territories where in the late 17th and early 18th century examples of confessional conflicts were intertwined with the debate on religious wars: France, England and the Holy Roman Empire. The scope of the study is, nevertheless, widened to the European arena by examining the decisive influence the last wars of Louis XIV had on the perception of religious wars. In fact, both the Nine Years’ War and the War of the Spanish Succession were perceived by contemporaries as wars of religion. The printed propaganda of Louis XIV as well as that of his allied enemies contributed largely to this perception by legitimising their respective politics. Thus, France and the wars of Louis XIV had a shaping role of the discussion on religious wars. In sum, the connection of confessional conflicts, international politics and the personality of the French king led to the Europeanisation of the debate on religious war

Full textIn 1939, France and Great Britain realized that stopping Hitler’s aggression in Europe would require a common front. Such an endeavour brought them to consider the Soviet Union as a possible ally. Despite four months of negotiations, the three countries could not reach any agreement. This failure was dramatic since on 23 August, a non-aggression pact was signed between Berlin and Moscow and, one week later, Germany invaded Poland. The Second World War had started. Since the 1990s, many historians argued that Western historiography about these failed negotiations has been influenced by Cold War propaganda and the idea that the Soviets never had the intention of allying with Western Europe. However, after a more careful look at studies published between 1961 and 2011 by French and British historians, this thesis demonstrates that, since 1961, in both Great Britain and France, the interpretations of the Soviet Union’s role in those negotiations were more free of ideological presuppositions than is often claimed. The publication of Taylor’ The Origins of the Second World War and the controversy that followed radically changed the nature of the debate and allowed the emergence of theses strikingly similar to those argued currently. These suggest that the Soviet leaders prioritized allying with the Entente at least until the end of July and that France and, most notably, Great Britain’s foreign policy caused the failure of the tripartite negotiations.
