Full textAbstract:
This essay argues for the importance of the study of production, distribution, and the cultural impact of texts for digital librarianship. An argument is made for integrating historical viewpoints in coursework that can prepare master's library and information science (MLIS) students for the curatorial aspects of digital librarianship. Several components of that approach are discussed in this essay. Their application in the classroom using a course on American bestsellers which involved collaborative teaching using the Internet as a case study, is presented as well. This paper reveals how book historians may find new roles as interpreters of the transformation of the library, from a logocentric library, which traditionally provides a fixed physical framework within which texts are accessible to users, to a soft library delivered on distributed servers - as a knowledge continuum. The emergence of new modes of textual transmission, the changing concept of the text, and the need to create new social spaces in which texts are collected and used can benefit from an awareness of the production, distribution, and use of text in traditional media environments.

Full textAbstract:
How does the book-object in early modernity participate in the representation of scientific knowledge? How was the reader meant to approach the book and to comprehend its contents? This project starts from the contention that scientific knowledge is not a product simply to be deposited into unmarked containers and transmitted unproblematically. On the contrary, the book, whether literary or scientific, actively shapes and invents objects of scientific knowledge. Sensory, affective and cognitive ways in which the reader is expected to approach the book and its contents are implicit in its formatting of text and image, not to mention margins, presentational material and indices.
This project draws from literary and natural scientific traditions of the French and Italian Renaissance in order to study how the early-modern book forms and performs scientific knowledge in various ways. Compelling the reader to interrupt his or her reading and to explore the book’s text and images as if they were objects in their own right, the book-object strives to imitate the experience and method of scientific discovery for the early-modern reader. To this end, touch, appetition, and bodily awareness become as important as sight and critical reasoning in a procedural approach and apprehension of knowledge in and of the book-object. An “aesthetics of discovery”, formed by the book and performed by the reader, is implicit in the book’s careful articulations of text and image.Romance Languages and Literatures

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine alternative forms of media developed in the USA between the 1940's and 1980's, which were proposed in order to come to terms with the faults associated with printed text and the paper medium. The examination is concentrated on relevant literature on the media and not the actual media themselves. The questions asked were:1. Why were alternative forms of media presented for replacing printed text and what were the aims of those wanting to replace it?2. What were these alternative forms of media and how did they compare with printed text with regard to storing and disseminating text? The study concentrates on two aspects of the different media: their ability to store and disseminate text. Due to the increasing amount of scientific research results in the form of printed text the research community experienced growing problems with text dissemination and recall. These problems caused delays in research procedures hampering scientific development. Due to the increasing importance of scientific research, not least its role in international conflicts, a solution to these problems was regarded as being of the utmost importance. The reasons behind wanting to replace printed text were to alleviate problems of distribution, recall and storage. Alternative media were developed with the hope of coming to terms with one or more of these problems. The study has found that media development has partly solved these problems but that new or different media are not completely problem free.Uppsatsnivå: D

Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses two aspects of the retention of pragmatic text functions in translation. The functionalist approach that was used focuses on achieving congruence between the author’s intended function and the perception of the reader, i.e., the target text’s actual function. The first aim was to examine whether a focus on text functions can be beneficial when translating terminology. The second aim was to investigate if a functionalist approach can be used to assure that all functions are retained for instances where the source text encompasses more than one pragmatic function. For the purposes of this study, two excerpts from Fritz Eichenberg’s art history book The Art of the Print were translated. Individual terms as well as instances where the source text segment contained one than more pragmatic function were then analyzed with the above mentioned aims in mind. It was found that a functionalist approach, in combination with a conceptual approach to terminology, was beneficial when translating terminology. It was also observed that the surrounding co-text aided in the understanding of the author’s concept. In regard to the second aim, it was found that while a functionalist approach assured that the translator was made aware of the existing functions, the translation procedures suggested were too narrow and static to be applicable to all segments.

Huang, Stephanie M. "Nostos: On Recollecting Loss and the Physical Manifestation of Loss." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/760.
Full textAbstract:
This paper examines nostalgia in photo-poetry book Nostos, and nostalgia’s existence as a theoretical global condition arising from displacement, looking at nostalgia specifically not as a yearning for home, but a yearning for a lost sense of feeling at home. It traces the lineage of image-text hybrid art practices and examines the significance of conveying meaning through both synergistically. It studies the psychoanalytic process of transforming loss into object, or absence into presence, ultimately using the object as a lens to view oneself and the way in which nostalgia manifests itself.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a pour ambition de faire mieux connaître l'importance de la bibliophilie dans la création littéraire de 1830 à 1920. De la mise en scène du bibliophile, à la mise en livre d'une poétique, étudier les pratiques littéraires bibliophiles, c'est éclairer des processus d'écriture et la production conséquente de livres dont la matérialité fait sens. Une première partie étudie la transformation de la bibliophilie d’une collection comme une autre à une méthode d’écriture, par l’analyse des origines d’une pratique bibliophile littéraire et de ses figures comme Charles Nodier ou le Bibliophile Jacob. Entre pratique en société et lyrisme de l’objet, la bibliophilie se définit peu à peu au miroir de sa propre caricature. Une seconde partie s’intéresse à la bibliophilie comme source littéraire et mythique : entre bibliothèque réelle et bibliothèque imaginaire, la bibliophilie – « véritable machine à exploiter le temps » pour Pierre Louÿs – transforme en profondeur le rapport à la matérialité du livre chez des écrivains comme Marcel Schwob, Remy de Gourmont ou Alfred Jarry. Une troisième partie s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l’objet livre et à ses conditions de production et de réception. Des expériences de Mallarmé et de Charles Cros à celles d’Apollinaire et de Blaise Cendrars il semble bien qu’à une poétique nouvelle doive correspondre un objet livre nouveau – entre expérimentation (typo)graphique et tradition bibliophileThis work aims to help understand the importance of bibliophilia within literary creation between 1830 and 1920. From the publicising of the bibliophile to the publishing of poetry, to study bibliophilic literary practices is to shed light on both the writing process and the resulting production of books whose materiality is meaningful. A first part studies the beginnings of a bibliophilic literary practice and its figures, such as Charles Nodier or Bibliophile Jacob, to highlight the evolution of bibliophilia from a mere collection among others to an original writing process. Torn between social experience and lyricism of the object, bibliophilia progressively defines itself in response to its own caricature. A second part considers bibliophilia as a literary and mythical source: bringing real and imaginary libraries together, bibliophilia deeply changes the relationship to the materiality of books amongst writers such as Marcel Schwob, Remy de Gourmont or Alfred Jarry. A third part takes a closer look at the book as an object and at the conditions of its production and reception. From Mallarmé and Charles Cros' experiences to those of Apollinaire and Blaise Cendars, it appears that a new type of literature needs a new type of book, the combined result of (typo)graphic experimentation and bibliophilic tradition

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour origine le constat de la non prise en charge des ouvrages se caractérisant par leur seule iconicité scripturale en histoire du livre et de l’édition ainsi que de l’absence de définition d’une catégorie les regroupant aussi bien dans cette discipline qu’en littérature, histoire du graphisme, sémiotique ou histoire de l’art. Notre première hypothèse est que cette catégorie correspond au « livre graphique ». C’est par les littéraires, soit dans une approche par auteur, soit à travers l’étude de la poésie visuelle, que certains de ses ouvrages ont été abordés, avec les lacunes inhérentes à la discipline. Il nous a donc semblé essentiel d’adopter un point de vue pluridisciplinaire, en insistant sur l’histoire des techniques. Cette exigence nous a permis de distinguer au sein du « livre graphique », le livre (typo)graphique, au côté du livre (calli)graphique, (dactylo)graphique, etc., et de choisir de nous consacrer à la première sous-catégorie, afin de défendre notre deuxième hypothèse : le sursaut de la création typographique, réaction à son industrialisation de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’aux années 1980. Aux incunabula typographiae répondrait donc cinq siècles plus tard un livre(typo)graphique comme « ultima typographiae ».La première partie consiste en une identification théorique du livre (typo)graphique. Une enquête historiographique analyse les barrières épistémologiques à la considération critique de notre objet tout en dégageant nos outils conceptuels : les thèses de Johanna Drucker et d’Anne-Marie Christin. Suivent une histoire du livre (typo)graphique puis la définition d’un ensemble de traits génériques et typologiques.La deuxième partie consiste dans la recherche des producteurs de livres (typo)graphiques par le prisme des auteurs. Le premier chapitre se fonde sur l’histoire littéraire, et procède donc par mouvement. Cette méthode présente toutefois deux écueils. D’abord, la spécificité de l’objet d’étude - le livre et non pas le texte graphique - implique une approche technique mais aussi génétique sur le plan éditorial que favoriserait plutôt un biais par éditeur.D’autre part, il ressort qu’un certain nombre d’auteurs de livres (typo)graphiques n’ont paradoxalement pas été retenus par ce premier tamis. Ceci nous permet d’énoncer deux nouvelles hypothèses. Premièrement, le livre(typo)graphique semble aussi caractéristique d’auteurs impliqués dans le discours sur l’art et l’évolution de l’appropriation de ce dernier par les poètes, une des causes du développement de notre objet. Il s’agit donc dans le deuxième chapitre de mettre en évidence le fil rouge reliant les productions de Claudel, Segalen, du Bouchet et Tardieu pour conclure au caractère d’« appropriation » littéraire de procédés picturaux de leurs livres (typo)graphiques. Deuxièmement, nous proposons une équivalence entre le livre(typo)graphique de ces auteurs et la « peinture lettrée », en nous fondant sur leurs textes critiques et transpositions d’art et sur la dernière thèse d’A.-M. Christin.Au terme de la deuxième partie, il ressort que la grande majorité des livres (typo)graphiques identifiés n’a pas été embrassée. La troisième partie consiste dans un balayage par le biais des éditeurs. Un résultat beaucoup plus fructueux permet de proposer une cinquième hypothèse : le livre (typo)graphique est principalement un livre d’éditeur.Le premier chapitre met en avant cinq évolutions de ce producteur de 1890 aux années 1980. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous nous penchons sur la production du « poète-typographe ». On établira un lien de causalité entre la maîtrise totale de la chaine de production de cet ouvrier-homme de lettre, et le fait qu’il soit le plus important contributeur de livres (typo)graphiques.Parvenue à son terme, cette thèse vise à constituer une contre-histoire du livre illustré ou un complément à celle du livre de créationThis thesis was formulated as an investigation into the lake of works treating of iconic scripturality in trough the history of book and publishing, and also the absence of any definition of the category to regroup them equally within this discipline as in literature, history of graphism, semiotic, history of art. Our initial hypothesis is that this category relates to the “graphic book”. It is trough specialist in literature, either in an approach by writer or passing through a close study of visual poetry, that certain of this works have been treated, with lacunae common to the discipline. In order to usefully complete the research work, it would seem essential to take on board a pluridisciplinary approach, emphasizing the technical history. These criteria allowed us to differentiate within the domain of the graphic book, the (typo)graphic book, around the (calli)graphic, (dactyl)graphic, etc., and to elect to focus upon the first subcategory, so as to justify our second hypothesis, that of a convulsion, in reaction to the meccanization of this industry at the end of the nineteen century through the decade of 1980’s. The incunabula typographiae would find its response five centuries later in the (typo)graphic book as ultima typographiae.The first part consists of a theoretical identification of the (typo)graphic book. An historiographical investigation would analyses epistemological barriers of the critical treatment of our object whilst bringing to light our conceptual tools: the thesis of Johanna Drucker and Anne-Marie Christin. Subsequently, establishing an history of (typo)graphic book and then, the definition of a group of generic traits and typologies.The second section is made up of a research into the producers of (typo)graphic books, as seen through the prism of the authors. The first chapter is based upon history of literature and thus proceeds by literary movement. Bearing in mind, this method is prey to tween dangers. First of all, the strictly specific nature of the study, the graphic book, but not text, implies a technical approach but also genetical in the editorial sense which would rather favour from an editor’s angle. Furthermore, it appears that a certain number of authors of (typo)graphic books, quiet paradoxically were not accounted for in this first selection. So, this allows us to articulate two new hypothesis. Firstly the (typo)graphic book seems also to be typified by authors involved in a discourse around art and the changing nature of the appropriation of the later by the poets, in itself one of the causes of the development of our object. Therefore, in the second chapter it would be a matter of highlighting the common thread uniting the productions of Claudel, Segalen, du Bouchet and Tardieu to conclude with the form of literary appropriation of pictorial processes of the (typo)graphic books. Secondly, we shall propose an equivalence between their (typo)graphic books and the literate painting, basing ourselves upon their critical texts and transposition of art and upon the last thesis of A.-M. Christin. At the clothe of the second section, one is still faced by the same difficulties that the great majority of identified typographical books hasn’t being catalogued.The third part would comprise of an overview from the publishers’ perspective. A much more productive result will allow us to formulate our fifth hypothesis: the (typo)graphic book is above all a publisher’s book. The first chapter will concentrate upon five evolutions of this producer. In the last chapter, we shall examine more specifically the production of the “typographic poet”. We shall establish a causal link between the total mastery of the production chain of this worker man of letters and the fact he became the most important contributor of (typo)graphic book.Reaching its conclusion, the thesis seeks to constitute, a counter-history of the illustrated book or a complement of that of the creative book

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur läroboksförfattare i historia arbetar med de genus-och jämställdhetsfrågor som enligt kurs- och läroplaner ska behandlas i undervisningen. En jämförelse görs mellan läroböcker från tiden innan Lpo 94 infördes och tiden efter, för att på så sätt försöka påvisa en förändring. Problematiken med presentationen av kvinnor i och-historia behandlas, samt problematiken kring läroböcker gällande olika intressenter och begreppsapparaten kring genus. Läro-och kursplanernas intentioner ställs mot läroböckerna, i syfte att påvisa en ökad genusmedvetenhet. Undersökningen visar att genusmedvetenheten i den betydelse jag använder den, inte ökat, men att man inkluderat fler kvinnor i historieböckerna sedan införandet av Lpo 94, i så kallad och-historia. Slutsatsen är att genusmedvetenheten som sådan inte ökat trots att Lpo 94 ställer högre krav på detta än Lgr 80, men att det finns en uppenbar ansats att föra in kvinnor i historieläroböckerna.

För att genomföra uppdraget har jag gjort litteraturstudier där jag tagit fram riktlinjer för det praktiska arbetet med boken. Jag har läst böcker inom informationsdesign och mer inriktade böcker som behandlar layout och typografi. Litteraturstudierna gav mig ökad kunskap inom området och jag kunde utifrån dessa få en förståelse för vilka grafiska beslut som var nödvändiga att ta innan jag kunde påbörja själva layoutarbetet.
Att sätta samman boken har varit ett omfattande arbete och mycket finns att läsa inom området. Rapporten avser inte på något sätt att behandla alla frågor som kan komma upp vid formgivning av en bok, utan behandlar de övergripande frågeställningar som har varit mest relevanta för mig i just detta arbete.

This dissertation presents the first critical edition of the Aramaic Targum (translation) of the Biblical Book of Psalms, chapters 1-72. All known complete medieval manuscripts of this Targum were examined and recorded by the author, and compared to the Breslau manuscript--which has been selected to serve as the base text. The use of a computer for recording, manipulation, and printing of data was also an important innovation. A section of "Notes" is appended--dealing with certain orthographic, scribal, and linguistic features.The Introduction ("Part One") discusses the nature of Targum in general and of the Targum of Psalms in particular; the contribution of this edition and the method used in its production; the features of the various manuscripts; and the Hebrew text upon which the Targum is based.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the handbook as a multimodal resource from a reader perspective, with the material consisting of 32 Swedish handbooks on gardening from 1643 to 2005. The study draws theoretically on social semiotics and multimodal discourse analysis, as well as dialogism. There is an emphasis on the addressivity of the text, which is taken as a starting point for tracing signs of the intended text use in the design of the texts. The analysis is meaning-based, with the focus placed on functional features in the design of the texts. The first part of the study considers the reading goals afforded by the thematizations conveyed in titles, headings and text type patterns. The core function of these texts turns out to be action orientation, although the more recent books often include sections oriented towards other goals, like shaping individual aesthetic taste. The second part illustrates how the multimodal cohesive patterns in the books afford non-linear reading paths and make the texts searchable, which is enhanced by the presence of devices such as indices and tables of contents. Concentrating on six of the books, the third part of the study maps out the role of the reader that is naturalized by the design of the text, drawing on appraisal theory, and shows the strong, authoritative role taken by the authorial voice. The evaluative patterns naturalize a fact-seeking reading. However, the most recent book, from 1996, emphasizes emotions to a greater extent, naturalizing a parallel reading that invokes sensory experience. The conclusion drawn is that the core characteristics of the handbooks are action orientation, searchability and factuality. As different parallel functions in recent books are discerned, a tendency towards diversity and multifunctionality is described. The range of semiotic resources has also expanded, it is noted, and there is growing support for the view of a tendency towards the visualisation of written texts.

Övrig relaterad forskning redogörs för översiktligt. Kvalitativ textanalys används som metod, med en analysmodell inspirerad av textanalysmetoden och av den forskning som gjorts i Sverige om historieundervisning relaterat till interkulturellt perspektiv. Modellen består av dimensioner som representerar olika formerav interkulturella perspektiv. I resultaten som redovisas framgår att en begränsad förekomst av interkulturellt perspektiv finns i båda läromedlen, och att innehållet även till något större del består i vad som definierats som perspektivets motsats. Resultaten är därmed motsägelsefulla, och potentialen hos perspektivet i att bidra till en mångsidig historieförståelse kan sägas både utnyttjas och inte utnyttjas.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse traite des rapports noués entre le livre et la photographie en France au cours du dernier tiers du XIXe siècle. Elle dégage les enjeux recouverts par cette association pour les acteurs collaborant à sa réalisation, à la croisée desquels a été progressivement inventé un objet inédit : un livre dont le discours s’élabore à partir de la combinaison de textes et de photographies entre ses plats de couverture au moins, mais aussi sur ses pages si l’envie ou le besoin le commande. Pour cela, elle circonscrit les contours et les tendances de la production moyenne entre 1867 et 1897, en construisant un corpus qui en reflète l’étendue et les ambitions. De type systémique, son analyse démontre que le livre n’a été ni le berceau, ni le foyer, non plus que le vecteur de diffusion principal des images photographiques en France au XIXe siècle. En révélant l’extrême diversité de la production, elle prouve par contre que le livre a constitué un laboratoire d’expérimentations des modalités de l’association des textes et des images photographiques, dans le but de formaliser un discours pour le pérenniser. Par ce biais, les auteurs et les éditeurs ont progressivement défini les spécificités de la photographie dans le champ des moyens disponibles pour l’illustration. Permettant notamment aux imprimeurs-éditeurs de réaffirmer leur position dominante sur un monde de l’édition en mutation, les processus de cette appropriation se distinguent toutefois par la très faible implication de la communauté photographique. Dès lors, cette thèse propose une périodisation des liens des photographes au livre, lorsque celui-ci est utilisé comme un levier dans leurs réclamations statutairesThis thesis is about the relationship between books and photography in France during the last three decades of the 19th century. It reveals what was at stake in this specific association for the diverse actors involved in its creation. Articulating multiple issues, a new object was gradually invented: the photographically illustrated book, that is a book discursively produced through combining texts and photographic images between its covers, if not on the very pages themselves. To this end, the thesis charts the boundaries and tendencies of the average production of photographically illustrated books between 1867 and 1897, building a corpus that reflects its extent and its ambitions. Through a systemic analysis, it demonstrates that books were neither the breeding grounds nor the main sites nor the main vehicles for the dissemination of photographic images in 19th century France. By showing the extreme diversity of the production, it argues that books have constituted an experimental ground where modalities of texts’ and photographic images’ associations were tested. Through this process, authors and editors progressively defined what would become the specific characteristics of photographic images as means available for illustration. Allowing publishers and printers to reaffirm their dominant position in the world of publishing, the processes of this appropriation is particular because of the very low involvement of the photographic community itself. Therefore, the thesis proposes a periodization of the links of photographers to the book, analysing its role in the statutory claims they made through time

Allingham, Philip Victor. "Dramatic adaptations of the Christmas books of Charles Dickens, 1844-8 : texts and contexts." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/28615.
Full textAbstract:
Although Dickens' familiarity with Victorian theatre has been explored with reference to his own playwrighting, amateur theatricals, style, and characterization, little work has been done on his actual
involvement with the adaptation of his works for the stage. For example, even though A Christmas Carol remains his most staged and filmed work, few critics have explored the degree of Dickens' involvement in the 'officially-sanctioned' adaptation by one of the Victorian theatre's most prolific adaptors, Edward Stirling. Dickens' letters shed some light on his involvement
in the staging of the various Christmas Books, but they do not indicate much about the adaptations
themselves.
Furthermore, neither Malcolm Morley in his series
of articles in the Dickensian nor F. Dubrez Fawcett in Dickens the Dramatist (1952) has considered the relationship between the final printed text of each novella, that of the corresponding official adaptation, and the original manuscript of the play that was submitted to the office of the Lord Chamberlain
for licensing.
While the intention of the following dissertation
is to reveal the methods employed by Dickens' stage adaptors, it occasionally reveals passages that, rejected for the final text of the novella, were retained in the drama, based as it was on early proof sheets. The most notable instance of such a phenomenon occurs in the Mark Lemon/Gilbert A'Beckett adaptation of the second of the Christmas Books, The Chimes (1844), in which Dickens seems to have modified the plot in the final stages in order to make it less controversial.
Although Dickens was not much involved in the staging of The Chimes, he appears to have worked closely with the company at the Royal Lyceum (his friends the Keeleys being both the comedic stars and managers of that theatre) and the adaptor, Albert
Smith. In the 1846 production of The Battle of Life Dickens made innovative suggestions about the staging, including the transformation scene and the use of a miniature coach advancing through the background,
climaxed by the appearance of a real carriage
on stage. Dickens' letters attest to his being the originator of these innovations; reviews in the contemporary press attest to their effectiveness.
Finally, despite their tremendous popularity in their own day, the dramatic adaptations of the Christmas Books seem to be accorded a place neither in studies of the early Victorian theatre nor in discussions of that most formative period in the literary
career of Charles Dickens, the 1840s. The Christmas Books and their theatrical progeny occupied a good deal of Dickens' time between Martin Chuzzle-wit and David Copperf ield, but only recently have the importance of the Christmas Books and the scope of Dickens' works on stage been fully recognized.
Another intention of this study is to reveal the extent of Dickens' role in the dramatisation of the Christmas Books through an examination of the texts of the sanctioned adaptations and the Christmas Books themselves. The dissertation has a two-fold structure in that it consists of a critical study of the plays and their contexts, as well as a (non-critical)
edition of Stirling's Christmas Carol and Lemon's Haunted Man, which exist only in manuscript. No previous writer on the subject of Dickens and the drama has attempted to bring together information on the adaptors, actors and actresses, theatres, play manuscripts and published texts. This dissertation provides an exhaustive study of what is known about these subjects while endeavouring to establish the extent of Dickens' involvement in the writing and staging of the officially-sanctioned plays based on the Christmas Books.
Would that Christmas lasted the whole year through, and that the prejudices and passions which deform our better nature, were never called into action among those to whom they should ever be strangers!

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the illustrations that appear at the Office of the Dead in English Books of Hours, and seeks to understand how text and image work together in this thriving culture of commemoration to say something about how the English understood and thought about death in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Office of the Dead would have been one of the most familiar liturgical rituals in the medieval period, and was recited almost without ceasing at family funerals, gild commemorations, yearly minds, and chantry chapel services. The Placebo and Dirige were texts that many people knew through this constant exposure, and would have been more widely known than other 'death' texts such as the Ars Moriendi. The images that are found in these books reflect wider trends in the piety and devotional practice of the time. The first half of the study discusses the images that appear in these horae, and the relationship between the text and image is explored. The funeral or vigil scene, as the most commonly occurring, is discussed with reference to contemporary funeral practices, and ways of reading a Book of Hours. Other iconographic themes that appear in the Office of the Dead, such as the Roman de Renart, the Pety Job, the Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead, the story of Lazarus, and the life of Job, are also discussed. The second part of the thesis investigates the musical elaborations of the Office of the Dead as found in English prayer books. The Office of the Dead had a close relationship with music, which is demonstrated through an examination of the popularity of musical funerals and obits, as well as in the occurrence of musical notation for the Office in a book often used by the musically illiterate. The development of the Office of the Dead in conjunction with the development of the Books of Hours is also considered, and places the traditions and ideas that were part of the funeral process in medieval England in a larger historical context.

"A study of the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in Irish post-primary school history text books, published since 1922, and dealing with the period 1800 to the present." Thesis, University of Hull, 1988. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.264563.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is a study of the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in Irish post-primary history school textbooks, dealing with the period 1800 to the present day, and published or in use since 1922. The thesis identifies two distinct categories of texts and these are referred to as purist texts and moderate texts. The purist texts are characterised by their strong pro-Irish, and anti-English biases in their presentation of Irish history. The moderate texts, by contrast, are generally without such biases and present more neutral accounts of Irish history. The central thesis of the work is that the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in the purist texts is fundamentally different from the relationship portrayed in the moderate texts. Close examination of the texts revealed that the presentation of Irish history fell into three large divisions, military and revolutionary history, political history and social history. For this reason the thesis, apart from introductory and concluding chapters, is comprised of three large central chapters, dealing in turn with each of these three aspects of Irish history. Thus, Chapter II looks at the treatment of the military and revolutionary history in the texts. Chapter III deals with the political history of Ireland and Chapter IV treats of the social history of Ireland. Each of these three chapters elaborates on how the topics dealt with contribute to the overall portrayal of the relationship between Ireland and England, as presented in the texts. The thesis concludes that the relationship between Ireland and England portrayed by the purist texts is a negative and hostile one, while the relationship portrayed by the moderate texts is a positive one. Hence, a fundamental difference in the portrayal of the relationship between the purist and moderate texts is established.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur une édition commentée du Livre-oreiller (Makura no sôshi枕草子 ; c. 1000), réalisée par Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 en 1674 et intitulée Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps (Shunshoshô 春曙抄). Le Livre-oreiller est atypique et hétérogène. Atypique, il ne ressemble à aucune autre œuvre japonaise de la même époque. Hétérogène, il est difficile d’enfermer la diversité de ce qui le compose dans une définition unique, ou de caractériser ce qui pourrait assurer sa cohérence. La biographie de son auteur, désignée par le surnom de « Sei Shônagon » 清少納言, est incertaine. Enfin, les différents manuscrits présentent entre eux des différences profondes.L’objectif de ce travail est de reconstituer la trajectoire qu’a suivie Le Livre-oreiller pour passer du texte — objet écrit se manifestant comme multiple, instable, indéterminé, non interprété — à l’œuvre — entité unique, stable, signifiante et interprétable. Notre postulat est que le Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps constitue un moment décisif dans cette évolution. Le poète Kitamura Kigin, auteur de cette édition commentée, fut un influent commentateur de textes anciens, à une époque caractérisée par le développement du livre imprimé et la démocratisation de l’accès à la connaissance lettrée. Notre travail se situe à la croisée de l’étude littéraire, des études de la réception, et de l’histoire matérielle du livreThis research is about The Spring Dawn Commentary, a commentary edition of The Pillow Book (Makura no sôshi 枕草子 ; c. 1000), written by Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 in 1674.The Pillow Book is both atypical and heterogeneous. Atypical in that it is not readily comparable to other texts of the same era. Being heterogeneous, it evades attempts to characterize in one single definition all what it is composed of. The life of the author, known as “Sei Shônagon” 清少納言, remains obscure, and ancient manuscripts are extremely diverse in the text they present. The purpose of this study is to observe the course by which The Pillow Book has changed from “text” to “ literary work”. That is, how what was plural, inconstant and uncertain in its meaning became one, constant, meaningful and thus suitable for interpretation. The argument of this research is that The Spring Dawn Commentary played a major role in this process.17th century in Japan was characterized by a rapid development in book printing technology and the book trade, thus enabling the spread of knowledge. In this context, the poet Kitamura Kigin was one of the most respected commentators of ancient literature

Tycz, Katherine Marie. "Material prayers : the use of text in early modern Italian domestic devotions." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/276240.
Full textAbstract:
While scholarship often focuses on how early modern Italians used images in their devotions, particularly in the post-Tridentine era, little attention has been placed upon how laypeople engaged with devotional text during times of prayer and in their everyday lives. Studies of early modern devotional texts have explored their literary content, investigated their censorship by the Church, or concentrated upon an elite readership. This thesis, instead, investigates how ordinary devotees interacted with holy words in their material form, which I have termed ‘material prayers’. Since this thesis developed under the aegis of the interdisciplinary research project, Domestic Devotions: The Place of Piety in the Italian Renaissance Home, 1400-1600, it focuses primarily on engagement with these material prayers in domestic spaces. Using an interdisciplinary approach drawing from material culture studies, literary history, social and cultural history, and art history, it brings together objects, images and archival sources to illuminate how devotees from across the socio-economic and literacy spectrums accessed and employed devotional text in their prayers and daily life. From holy words, Biblical excerpts, and prayers to textual symbols like the Sacred Monogram of the Name of Jesus, this thesis explores how and why these material prayers were employed for spiritual, apotropaic and intercessory purposes. It analyses material prayers not only in traditional textual formats (printed books and manuscripts), but also those that were printed on single-sheets of paper, inscribed on jewellery, or etched into the structure of the home. To convey how devotees engaged with and relied upon these material prayers, it considers a variety of inscribed objects, including those sanctioned by the Church as well as those which might be questioned or deemed ‘superstitious’ by ecclesiastical authorities. Sermons, Inquisition trial records, and other archival documents have been consulted to further illuminate the material evidence. The first part of the thesis, ‘On the Body’, considers the how devotees came into personal contact with texts by wearing prayers on their bodies. It examines a range of objects including prayers with protective properties, known as brevi, that were meant to be sealed in a pouch and worn around the neck, and more luxurious items of physical adornment inscribed with devotional and apotropaic text, such as necklaces and rings. The second part of the thesis enters the home to explore how the spaces people inhabited and the objects that populated their homes were decorated with material prayers. ‘In the Home’ begins with texts inscribed over the entryways of early modern Italian homes, and then considers how devotees decorated their walls with holy words and how the objects of devotion and household life were imbued with religious significance through the addition of pious inscriptions. By analysing these personal objects and the textual domestic sphere, this thesis argues that these material prayers cut across socio-economic classes, genders, and ages to embody quotidian moments of domestic devotion as well as moments of fear, anxiety and change.

Yoo, Jungmin. "Materiality and Writing: Circulation of Texts, Reading and Reception, and Production of Literature in Late 18th-century Korea." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:13065154.
Full textAbstract:
This study explores the literature of late Choson in its material context, examining how the physical aspects of the production and circulation of texts impacted the practice of writing. By analyzing various travelogues from Beijing (yonhaengnok) and private collections (munjip) from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, I examine how transcultural contacts across borders and changing textual environments influenced intellectual circles and literary trends in late Choson Korea.
Interpreting the literary text as the material product of a culture, my study shifts the emphasis from the author as the creator of a text to the editors, publishers, collectors, and readers, through whose hands a text is reshaped and given new meaning. In light of the concept of social authorship, the written culture of late Choson will be revisited in relation to complex networks of social interactions. The print and manuscript culture of the day, socio-political groups that the author belonged to, the book market, and the government policies of that time provide interesting information on the practices of literary production, based on the larger cultural dynamics of East Asia.
This dissertation revolves around a series of questions about circulation networks and their impact. In regard to the social and cultural condition of literary production in the eighteenth century, I examine transnational interactions with foreign intellectuals as well as collective coterie activities of reading and writing among the literati in Seoul. How did the flourishing of print culture of the Jiangnan area and the book markets in Beijing change the textual dynamics of Korea? Did the government censorship carried out by the Qing and the Choson governments effectively control the circulation of books? How did the Choson literati consume the foreign books and why did they form so many literary communities in Seoul? By investigating the large scope of these textual situations, I explore how the transcultural contacts "across borders" and the changing textual environments influenced intellectual circles and literary trends in late Choson.
With respect to textual dynamics, I emphasize the various "informal networks" that have been placed at the center of book reception and consumption. For example, a number of book brokers in the Qing and Choson facilitated the distribution of books, and the sharing of manuscripts among friends in literary coteries was influential in the shaping of new literary tastes and public culture. These unconventional routes outside of established channels functioned as the actual key drivers of book culture in late Choson. My argument throughout this dissertation is that "informal circulation" is a central, rather than marginal, feature of eighteenth-century book culture and literary production.
Through a specific case study of a literatus-official, Yi Tong-mu (1741-1793), my dissertation addresses these issues in three parts that consist of seven chapters: (1) Part One, "Social Authorship and Manuscript Production," examines how the writings of Yi Tong-mu were constructed and transmitted through a complex of social interactions and how the physical aspects of texts inform various transactions of human and non-human agencies in the production of texts. (2) Part Two, "The Location of Texts: Circulation of Books, Censorship, and Community Activities" traces how social networks among the domestic literati as well as among foreign intellectuals facilitated the circulation of books. First, I examine the large scope of transnational interaction between China and Korea, and the literary inquisition carried out by the Choson government in response to the changing textual environment. This is followed by a discussion of the poetry communities in Seoul, in which the Choson literati shared their reading practices and produced their common aesthetic tastes in their writings. (3) Part Three, "Making Meaning: Reading Self and Social Discourses," examines how Yi Tong-mu read books from the Ming and the Qing--such as those by Yuan Hongdao of the Ming and Wang Shizhen of the Qing--and wrote his own poetry and literary criticism and embodied his interpretive activities in his own works.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Full textAbstract:
Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation ist es, Formen kultureller Produktion und ihre Anbindungen an sprachliche und politische Realitäten am Beispiel der kanadischen Provinz Québec darzustellen. Die Existenz des französischsprachigen Québec und seiner Differenz ist nicht gegen das englischsprachige Kanada zu erklären, sondern mit diesem. Identitätsreferenzen und Geschichtsbilder sind Teil öffentlicher Bekundungen, ob nun journalistischer, künstlerischer, schulpolitischer oder anderer Art. Gefragt wird nach der Bedeutung historischer Tatsachen für die Gegenwart und dem spezifischen Gebrauch der Geschichte, ihren Helden und Machern in diversen narrativen Formungen an den Schnittpunkten von Öffentlichkeit und Erinnerung. Die verwendeten Quellen decken die Bereiche Film, Literatur, Presse und Politik ab; besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf Schulbuchtexte aus dem Geschichtsunterricht der Sekundarstufe gelegt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich in zahlreichen Instanzen der Auseinandersetzung nicht etwa anglokanadische und frankokanadische (oder „englische“ und „französische“) Kontrahenten gegenüberstehen, sondern dass die Konfliktparteien oft nicht diesseits und jenseits der Sprachbarriere liegen. Dies konnte am Beispiel der verwobenen Beziehungen von liberaler politischer Macht in Ottawa und dem ultrakonservativen katholischen Klerus Québecs im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert illustriert werden. Gleichzeitig zeigt sich, dass heterogene Strukturen in konkreten Situationen durch wirksame Grenzziehungen gewissermaßen ausgeblendet werden können. Die entstehenden Trennungslinien hatten und haben in Kanada und in Québec sprachliche, religiöse, politische und ethnische Formen, die in Momenten der Krise zu Matrizen bekannter Solidaritäten werden. Im Ergebnis der Untersuchungen steht das Fazit, dass Kanada als Föderation die Sezession Québecs nicht als Ganzes überleben würde. Die Alternative zur gegenwärtigen politischen Gestalt wäre somit nicht Québec auf der einen und ein verbleibendes „English Canada“ auf der anderen Seite, sondern ein weiteres Aufbrechen der bisherigen Kohäsion. Darüber hinaus konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen der auffälligen Besonderheit einer mehrheitlich katholischen und französischsprachigen Bevölkerung und der großen englischen Monarchie in Amerika aufgezeigt werden.This Ph.D. thesis aims at an analysis of various forms of cultural production and links with linguistic and politic realities in the Canadian Province Québec. The existence of a French-speaking Québec and its difference cannot be explained without considering “the rest of Canada” as a major factor. Identity references and images of history are seen as public expressions in journalistic, artistic, educational or other forms. The present relevance of historical facts, the specific usage of history, its heroes and its makers are of special interest in narratives operating at the intersection of public sphere and memory politics. Various sources were used in the process of research: film, literature, the press and politics. Special attention was given to history text books in English and French used for secondary level courses in Québec schools. In a number of conflicts the opponents were not on both sides of the language barrier representing „english“ and „french“ interests. One example studied is the case of the intricate relations between liberal political power in Ottawa and the conservative Catholic Church in Québec. At the same time, heterogeneous structures seem to be faded out in specific situations when powerful lines of separation are drawn. In critical situations solidarities are formed in Canada and Québec along the lines of language, religion, politics and ethnic background. As a result of the study it became clear that the separation of Québec from Canada would result not in two parts, Québec and “English Canada” but that the cohesion of the present federation would eventually dissolve into much smaller parts. It also became clear that there is an integral relation between the distinctness of a population with a catholic and French-speaking majority and the English monarchy present in America.

Full textAbstract:
L’influence littéraire exercée par l'Espagne du Siècle d’or sur la France du premier XVIIe siècle est liée à un ample mouvement éditorial. Cette thèse, qui associe histoire du livre et histoire littéraire, étudie les traductions françaises de textes espagnols qui ont circulé en France entre 1600 et 1660 – traductions qui concernent des textes de toute nature (religieux, littéraires, scientifiques, techniques...). Pour évaluer l’ampleur de ce mouvement éditorial, une enquête bibliométrique est d’abord réalisée. Elle permet de reconstituer l’histoire de cette diffusion par l’imprimé. On identifie les principaux foyers de production et on examine la production des officines de librairie engagées dans ce marché. L’analyse se porte ensuite sur l’activité de traduction elle-même, dans la diversité de ses pratiques. Les profils des principaux traducteurs d’espagnol en français sont distingués : le traducteur professionnel, l’amateur éclairé, l’imprimeur, le religieux, le médecin etc. Une attention particulière est accordée aux hommes de lettres qui tentent de concilier un travail de plume mal considéré avec leurs ambitions littéraires. Les pratiques des traducteurs sont enfin cernées par l’analyse des textes et de leur « mise en livre », en comparant différentes traductions (concurrentes ou successives) d’un même texte. Les motivations diverses de ces versions et la spécificité de chaque projet d’écriture et de publication sont ainsi cernées. Portant sur un large pan de la production écrite en français souvent délaissé par l'histoire littéraire, ce travail sur la pénétration de la culture espagnole en France et sur le monde des traducteurs interroge aussi la relation entre écriture et publication, et sur le rôle de « l’éditorial » dans la construction de l’autorité littéraireThe literary influence exercised by Golden Age Spain on France in the first half of the 17th century is related to a very considerable mass of editorial activity. This thesis, which combines the history of the book and literary history, studies French translations of Spanish texts which circulated in France between 1600 and 1660 - translations concerning texts of all kinds (religious, literary, scientific, technical, etc.).In order to evaluate this editorial activity, a bibliometric enquiry must first be carried out. This enquiry allows us to reconstitute the history of of the circulation of this material in print. The principal centres of production are identified and the production of the workshops of the booksellers’ operating in this market are examined. The analysis then shifts to the activity of translation itself, in all its diversity. The profiles of the different principal translators from Spanish to French are laid out: the professional translator, the enlightened amateur, the printer, the cleric, the physician, etc. Particular attention is paid to men of letters who attempt to conciliate what is perceived as lowly hackwork with their literary ambitions. Finally, the translators’ practices themselves are the object of study, through comparison, using textual analysis as well as examining questions of format and layout, of different (concurrent or successive) translations of the same text. Account is thus made of the diverse motivations of these versions and the specificity of each writing project and publication. Taking as its base a large swathe of writing produced in French often neglected by literary history, this study of the penetration of Spanish culture in France and of the world of translators looks anew at the relation between writing and publication, as well as at the editorial role in the construction of literary legitimacy

Full textAbstract:
Following recent critical work on writers' representations of sociability in Romantic literature, this thesis examines in detail the textual strategies (such as allusion, acts of address, and the use of 'coterie' symbols or references) which writers used to seek to establish a friendly or sympathetic relationship with a particular reader or readers, or to create and define a sense of community identity between readers. The thesis focuses on specific relationships between pairs and groups of writers (who form one another's first readers), and examines 'sociable' genres like letters, manuscript albums, occasional poetry, and periodical essays in a diverse series of author case-studies (Anna Barbauld, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Lamb, John Keats and Leigh Hunt). Such genres, the thesis argues, show how manuscript and print culture could frequently overlap and intersect, meaning that writers confronted the demands of two co-existing audiences - one private and familiar, the other public and unknown - in the same work. Rather than arguing that writers used manuscript culture practices and produced 'coterie' works purely to avoid confronting their anxieties about publishing in the commercial sphere of print culture, the thesis suggests that in producing such 'coterie' works writers engaged with and reflected contemporary philosophical and political concerns about the relationship between the individual and wider communities. In these works, writers engaged with the legacy of eighteenth-century philosophical ideas about the role (and limitations) of the sympathetic imagination in maintaining social communities, and with interpretative theories about the best kind of reader. Furthermore, the thesis argues that reading literary texts in the specific, material context in which they are 'published' to particular readers, either in print, manuscript, or letters, is vital to understanding writer/reader relationships in the Romantic period. This approach reveals how within each publication space, individual texts could be placed (either by their writers, by editors, or by other readers) in meaningful relationships with other texts, absorbing or appropriating them into new interpretative contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Ao contrário da catenária, o estudo da parábola é encontrado com freqüência nos livros didáticos de matemática. Dois livros didáticos foram analisados para esta pesquisa: o livro de Olavo Freire de 1894, que associa o formato do cabo pênsil ao de uma parábola, e o livro da década de 1970 de Osvaldo Sangiorgi, que relaciona à figura de um balanço a forma de uma parábola. Notamos que esses livros didáticos com oitenta anos de diferença usam a corda suspensa para representar a forma parabólica. Como o formato de um cabo suspenso pelas extremidades sob a ação do seu próprio peso é representado pela catenária, sentimo-nos motivados a pesquisar sobre as curvas e entender por quais delas, afinal, o cabo da ponte pênsil é mais bem representado. Visto que essa dúvida surgiu a partir de livros didáticos, discorremos sobre a função do livro de matemática, na sala de aula, como indicadores do ensino da matemática, de um determinado local, dentro de determinado contexto histórico-político. No decorrer da história da matemática, houve confusão entre essas duas curvas, a qual motivou o estudo da catenária a partir do século XVII. Essa fase da história é conhecida como época das curvas, e em 1600, por Huygens, que se iniciaram seus estudos. Examinamos as curvas catenária e parábola no âmbito da educação e da história da matemática, bem como suas propriedades e aplicações práticas no âmbito da engenharia de pontes pênseis e na arquitetura. Amparamo-nos em leituras específicas de construção e história de algumas pontes pênseis e chegamos a visitar a Ponte Estaiada em São Paulo ainda em edificação, para entendermos como os engenheiros utilizam as propriedades das curvas catenária e parábola em sua construção. Os resultados revelaram que, surpreendentemente, o exemplo adotado no livro de Olavo Freire para representar uma parábola não levou em consideração o que acontece na prática da engenharia das pontes pênseis, e o ressurgimento do exemplo do balanço no livro de Osvaldo Sangiorgi, pareceu reforçar a tese de que havia, sim, certa confusão entre as duas curvas. Utilizando o software gráfico Winplot, construímos as curvas catenária e parábola e pudemos visualizar as diferenças ou similaridades entre elas. Finalizando, comprovamos algebricamente a aproximação entre as curvas catenária e parábola e a definição de parábola no ponto de vista da engenharia.Unlike the catenary, the study of the parabola is often found in textbooks of Mathematics. Two textbooks were analyzed for this research: the book of Olavo Freire, 1894, which combines the format of the cable suspended to a parabola, and the book of the decade of 1970 of Osvaldo Sangiorgi, which relates to the figure of a stock as a parabola. Note that these textbooks with eighty years of difference used the rope suspended to represent the parabolic shape. As the format of a cable suspended by the extremities under the action of its own weight is the catenary, we felt motivated to search on the curves and understand how, after all, the cable of the suspension bridge is best represented. Since this question came from textbooks, we studied the basis of the book of Mathematics in the classroom, as indicators of teaching Mathematics in a given location, within a certain historical and political context. Throughout the history of Mathematics, there was confusion between these two curves, which led the study of catenary from the seventeenth century. This phase of history is known as the curves season, and in 1600, by Huygens, who started their studies. We have audited the catenary curves and parabola in education and the history of Mathematics, and its properties and practical applications in the Engineering of suspension bridges and architecture. Supported us in specific readings of history and construction of some suspension bridges and even payed a visit to the bridge Estaiada in Sao Paulo which is still under construction, to understand how the engineers use the properties of the catenary curves and parabola in its construction. The results showed that, surprisingly, the example used in the book of Olavo Freire to represent a parabola did not bring into account what happens in the practice of Engineering of the suspension bridges, and the resurgence of the example of the balance sheet in the book of Osvaldo Sangiorgi seemed to strengthen the argument that there was some confusion between the two curves. Using the software chart Winplot, the catenary and parabola curves were built and we could visualize the differences or similarities between them. At last, using algebra we proved the rapprochement between the catenary curves and definition of parabola in terms of Engineering.

Full textAbstract:
The present study inquires into the problematization of attention in the reception and distribution of photography in 19th-century Sweden. It investigates how photography’s alleged abundance of detail and indiscriminate reproduction became a problem in the reception of the medium. The problem became urgent when photographs were put to use by established discourses; specifically, when used in printed publications meant for a public. The thesis therefore argues that the problem of attention had a profound influence on how printed photographic or photographically illustrated editions (photo-texts) were modelled and arranged. For this purpose, the study affirms a particular focus on attention practices: the various ways in which the printed editions aim to regulate the reader’s attention before the supposedly distractive image. Specifically, the thesis focuses on how texts in these printed editions are arranged or juxtaposed in relation to the image, how they speak of and to the images, what values they reflect, and what effects they could be said to produce. Consequently, the present study is more than an investigation of a problem; it is also an inquiry into the various attempts to overcome this problem. The problem and its responsive practices will have different characteristics in the various contexts of individual discourses. Therefore, the study situates the problem of attention in four prominent genres of 19th-century photography: the topographical albums of photographic views, art books with photographic reproductions, the scientific atlas, and the photographically illustrated travelogue. These genres and forms of publication, as well as the discourses of attention relating to them, are discussed in separate chapters. Every chapter departs from a specific Swedish photographic edition from the nineteenth-century. In sum, the thesis aims – with its focus on the problematization of attention – at giving a new historical perspective on the emergent relation between photography and the printed word.

The main objective of this work is to investigate the difficulties that appeared along the history for the development of the mathematical content irrational numbers and which are the approaches present in the text books. The subject irrational numbers is considered important in the basic education of Mathematics and it comes for the students, in the text books, as an obstacle to its full understanding. One of the aspects that can justify such situation is the complexity that the subject shows. However, the irrational number can be worked in a historical-epistemological process, by doing a study of how the transformation of scientific object to an object of teaching in a praxeological organization has been processing. That organization is the final result of a mathematical activity that presents two inseparable aspects: the mathematical practice, that consists of tasks and techniques, and the speech based on that practice that is constituted by technologies and theories. Our analyses point that factors exist which interfere in the process of teaching-learning of irrational numbers related with the praxeological organization of that content in the collections of the text books of the 70s, 90s and 2000. The proof of the irrationality with traditional Euclidian approach served as parameter to evaluate the degree of difficulty and to analyze the type of tasks, techniques and the theoretical-technological speech for the demonstration of the irrational number. The organization points that the most difficulty is in the axiomatic system that should satisfy to two conditions: to be solid, it means, the postulates cannot contradict each other for themselves or for their consequences; to be complete and enough, in the sense of having conditions to prove true or false all propositions formulated in the context of the theory in subject. The proof of the irrationality in a modern Dedekind approach analyzed by the type of tasks, techniques and for the theoretical-technological speech enlarges the numeric domain, joining to the rational numbers a new category of irrational numbers that fill out the gaps of the numeric straight line. To build techniques to modify and to enlarge the concept of irrationality of other numbers is an approach that explores numbers in the form a+b√2, with rational a and b, and that contributes to overcome the idea that there are few irrational numbers
O objetivo principal deste trabalho é investigar as dificuldades que surgiram ao longo da história para o desenvolvimento do conteúdo matemático números irracionais e quais a abordagens estão presentes nos livros didáticos. O assunto números irracionais é considerado importante na escolaridade básica de Matemática e apresenta-se para os alunos, nos livros didáticos, como um obstáculo a sua plena compreensão. Um dos aspectos que pode justificar tal situação é a complexidade com que esse assunto se manifesta. No entanto, o número irracional pode ser trabalhado em um processo histórico-epistemológico, fazendo-se um estudo de como se tem processado a transformação de objeto científico a objeto de ensino em uma organização praxeológica. Essa organização é o resultado final de uma atividade matemática que apresenta dois aspectos inseparáveis: a prática matemática, que consta de tarefas e técnicas, e o discurso fundamentado sobre essa prática, que é constituída por tecnologias e teorias. Nossas análises apontam que existem fatores os quais interferem no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de números irracionais relacionados com a organização praxeológica desse conteúdo nas coleções dos livros didáticos dos anos 70, 90 e 2000. A prova da irracionalidade com abordagem tradicional euclidiana serviu de parâmetro para avaliar o grau de dificuldade e analisar o tipo de tarefas, técnicas e o discurso teórico-tecnológico para a demonstração do número irracional. A organização aponta que a maior dificuldade está no sistema axiomático que deve satisfazer a duas condições: ser consistente, quer dizer, os postulados não podem contradizer uns aos outros por si mesmos ou por suas conseqüências; ser completo e suficiente, no sentido de se ter condições para provar verdadeiras ou falsas todas proposições formuladas no contexto da teoria em questão. A prova da irracionalidade em uma abordagem moderna dedekindiana analisada pelo tipo de tarefas, técnicas e pelo discurso teórico-tecnológico amplia o domínio numérico, juntando aos números racionais uma nova categoria de números irracionais que vêm preencher as lacunas da reta numérica. Construir técnicas para modificar e ampliar o conceito de irracionalidade de outros números é uma abordagem que explora números na forma a+b2, com a e b racionais, e que contribui para a superação da idéia de que há poucos números irracionais

Full textAbstract:
Techronomicon Techronomicon is a science fiction novel that examines far-future military actions from several different perspectives. Human beings have colonized several planets with help from the enigmatic and more technologically advanced Zhir, who gave spaceships and habitable worlds to those they deemed suitable and their descendants. The Joint Expeditionary Force is the military arm of the Universal Faith, called in when conflicts arise that the Faith decides are beyond the local government and militia and require their intervention. Leneveldt and Roader are JEF officers assigned to Operation Techronomicon, investigating what seems to be a Zhir-built defence shield around the planet Lassana. Another JEF company sent to Kalaabhavan after the murder of the planets Confessor-General loses its CO to a land-mine, and Lieutenant Hellerman reluctantly accepts command. Chevalier, a civilian pilot, takes refugees fleeing military-run detention camps on Ararat to a biological research station on otherwise uninhabited Lila. The biologists on Lila discover a symbiote that enables humans to photosynthesize, which comes to the attention of Operation Techronomicon and the JEF's Weapons Research Division. Leneveldt and Roeder, frustrated by the lack of progress on Lassana, are sent to Lila to detain the biologists, who flee into the swamps. Hellerman's efforts to restore peace on Kalaabhavan are frustrated by the Confessors, and his company finds itself besieged by insurgents. The novel explores individuals' motives for choosing or rejecting violence and/or military service; the lessons they learn about themselves and their enemies; and the possible results of attempts to forcibly suppress ideas.

Este trabajo indaga en los antecedentes,orígen y evolución de la enseñanza del Dibujo desde que aparece como disciplina escolar a partir del modelo educativo liberal en 1836 hasta 1936. La primera parte de este estudio, que abarca cien años, analiza el proceso de evolución y consolidación de esta materia como disciplina escolar y cómo adquiere un caracter propio y alcanza la consideración necesaria para formar parte del curriculo de forma permanente. En este proceso de configuración intervienen de forma directa las orientaciones ideológicas de los diferentes gobiernos, el pensamiento pedagógico ilustrado, el desarrollo industrial y la I.L.E. En esta parte se investigan, asímismo, los manuales escolares ya que intervienen de forma directa en la definición del carácter, el objeto y los fines de la enseñanza del Dibujo, así como su actualización científica.La segunda parte de este trabajo se ocupa de los catedráticos de Dibujo de Segunda Enseñanza, pues también ellos intervienen de forma directa en la configuración de la asignatura, al ser ellos quienes escribían los libros de texto, redactaban los temarios y formaban los tribunales de oposición. Indagando, también, en su formación, en las pruebas selectivas que debían superar, en el desarrollo de las mismas y en los programas y memorias que aportaban. Ocupándonos, por último, de la relación de estos profesionales con la sociedad de su época y su intervención en numerosas actividades culturales y artísticas.This essay deals with the background, origins and evolution of the teaching of Drawing since it appeared as a school subject within the liberal educational model in 1836 until 1936. The first part of this essay, which embraces one hundred years, analyses the process of development and consolidation of this discipline as a school subject, and how it gains independence and acquires the necessary consideration to form part of the curriculum in a permanent way. In this process of configuration, there is a direct influence from the ideological orientations of the different governments, from the enlightened pedagogical thinking, from the industrial development and the I.L.E.( Liberal Teaching Institution). Schools materials (books, resources.) are also analysed in this part, because they have a direct influence on the definition of the character, the object and the aims of the teaching of Drawing, as well as on its scientific update. The second part of this essay deals with the grammar-school teachers("catedráticos") of Drawing in Secondary Education ("Bachillerato"), since they also have a direct influence on the configuration of the subject, because they are the ones who wrote the textbooks, designed the curricula and formed the board of examiners for public competitions. Here we also analyse their training, the selection tests that they had to pass as well as the way they were developed, the programming and the reports they provided. Finally, we have also studied the relationship between these professionals and the society of their time, as well as their influence on so many cultural and artistic activities.

Full textAbstract:
Diseases of Women, Book I, is part of the Hippocratic Corpus of approximately seventy treatises, although different authors contributed to the writings, as is evident by slight changes in text. It is the first of three works by Hippocrates on gynaecological problems. Fifth century BC doctors did not dissect either humans or animals, so their theories were based purely on observation and experience. Book I deals with women who have problems with menstruation, either the lack of it or an excess, infertility and, when conception does take place, the threat of miscarriage and dealing with the stillborn child. Various remedies are given, including herbal infusions, vapour baths and mixtures that the modern day patient would shudder at, e.g. animal dung and headless, wingless beetles. One remedy, hypericum, or St John's Wort, used for depression, has become popular today as an alternative medicine.Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies

Full textAbstract:
This study offers a narrative of literary responses to lost texts, ancient and modern, from the age of Petrarch to the age of Milton. Whether continental scholars or English poets, the authors whom I consider share an abiding belief that the imagination is the right vehicle to access the otherwise irretrievable past, and that absent texts can be put to practical uses. Bringing together the work of textual critics, bibliographers, and literary scholars, the introduction evaluates available methods of studying lost texts and proposes an integrated framework for further research. The four chapters that follow provide four distinct answers to the question, what did early modern scholars and poets make out of lost texts? The first chapter finds Petrarch in his De remediis utriusque fortunae inaugurating a long-lasting tradition, the lament for lost books and libraries. I argue that, with help from Petrarch, the Florentine circle of Leonardo Bruni developed what would become a conventional language for explaining these losses. A chapter on scholarly misbehavior examines fifteenth- and sixteenth-century narratives—i.e., legends, lies, and slanders—about lost texts alongside the emergence of the humanist supplements, the efforts of early modern editors (e.g., Erasmus, Ermolao Barbaro) to fill lacunae in partial classical texts with their original compositions, sometimes surreptitiously. This practice of imitation-as-emendation led English authors—Shakespeare, Chapman, Jonson, and Burton—to complete the partial texts of their recent and medieval predecessors and to apprehend with their imaginations the literary heritage that they could not hold in their hands. In the two latter chapters, I argue that this interest sometimes took the form of an imaginative supplement, as when Spenser completes Chaucer's fragmentary Squire's Tale in The Faerie Queene, and sometimes the form of a meditation, as when Milton in "Il Penseroso" envisions English literary history as a series of incomplete works. Likewise, earlier claims about lost texts could simply be revived (e.g., in the invective of Thomas Nashe), or they could be repurposed in self-conscious tropes, as when Ben Jonson and Edmund Spenser entice their readers with representations of lost, unpublished, and unwritten works.2019-08-01T00:00:00Z

Full textAbstract:
This paper consists of the translation and analysis of Chapters 1-15 of Book V of Historiarum adversus paganos libri VIII by Paulus Orosius. The analysis is based on a comprehensive commentary on linguistic and stylistic aspects of the texts examined, and on a thorough factual commentary. The linguistic commentary concentrates on the composition of the Fifth Book, on the construction of discourse by the means of particles and other discourse markers, as well as on the linguistic features and peculiarities distinctive for the author, his age and the genre of historiography (such as specifically Late Latin syntax, non-Classical vocabulary, rhetorical figures, tropes and other stylistic features). The factual commentary contains a detailed description of the events mentioned in the text and their historical context. Close attention is paid to the character of the author's narrative, his approach to the historical data, choice of the events that interest him most as well as the way in which the author portraits them as mutually connected. Among the questions important for the commentary are whether he follows the wider tradition of Roman historiography or if and in which way the author's own opinions and persuasions are reflected in his work. This section also comments on the relation between Orosius'...

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates ways in which early Jewish communities conceptualized the production and collection of writing. Through a study of 11QPsalms-a, the Qumran Psalms Scroll, it shows how modern book culture (shaped by the canon, codex, print, authorial copyright, and scholarly editing) has distorted our understanding of ancient texts and fostered anachronistic questions about their creation and reception. Taking seriously what early Jewish texts have to say about their own writtenness and building upon earlier scholarship on scriptural multiformity, the dissertation also uses theoretical insights from the field of Book History to study the identity, assembly, and literary context of the Psalms Scroll as an example of the ancient textual imagination. Physical and discursive evidence suggest that no concept of a “Book of Psalms” existed as a coherent entity in the ancient Jewish imagination, but that psalms collections were conceptualized and created in looser, unbounded ways. New metaphors made possible by electronic text, which likewise cannot be constrained into the categories of print book culture, can encourage new ways of imagining ancient concepts of fluid textuality as well. After a study of the status and compilation of the Psalms Scroll (Ch. 1-2), the dissertation engages the question of Davidic authorship (Ch. 3). David was not imagined as the author of a particular psalms collection, but as the inaugurator of a variety of liturgical traditions. The identity between an individual figure and a specific text should be unbound in favour of a looser relationship, allowing for the continuing growth of traditions inspired by the figure. Chapters 4 and 5 present a reading of the Psalms Scroll and Davidic lore alongside two other traditions: Ben Sira and angelic ascent literature. Both possess literary links with the Psalms Scroll, but also shed light on the ways in which ancient communities imagined writing and understood their own relationship to their texts. Thus, reading across canonical and generic boundaries embeds psalms traditions in a richer context of reception and provides a fuller picture of the ancient textual imagination. The conclusion makes a comparative gesture toward the Nachleben of psalms collecting in Syriac Christianity.

Find full textAbstract:
The research in this thesis attempts to select texts from the African American Spirituals and the Bible that are appropriate for secondary language arts instruction, specifically for grades 9-12. The paper first gives an overview of legal justifications and educational reasons for teaching religious literature in public schools. Then, relevant educational standards are discussed, and, using the standards as an initial guide, I identify common themes within the Spirituals and Bible, which, from my analysis of various literatures, are slavery, chosenness, and coded language. Next, I describe my systematic effort to choose texts from the Spirituals and the Bible. To help accomplish this, I draw primarily from two tomes: Go Down Moses: Celebrating the African-American Spiritual and Biblical Literacy: The Essential Bible Stories Everyone Needs to Know. After I describe the research process of selecting texts, I form judgments about which biblical passages and African American Spirituals are particularly worthy of study, along with their applicable and mutual themes.
