L’œuvre de Helli Alexiou (1894-1988) est indissociable de sa vie, axée sur ses idées politiques de gauche et son métier de pédagogue. La thèse constitue une contribution à la littérature réaliste. Elle cherche à montrer, en quatre parties, la présence active de l’humanisme d’Alexiou dans l’évolution de son œuvre, et plus spécialement à travers la prise de conscience des souffrances humaines. La première partie aborde la vie de l’auteur et tente de la situer dans son milieu familial et son contexte historique en décrivant aussi son parcours pro¬fessionnel. La deuxième partie traite du statut de ses écrits littéraires en mettant l’accent sur ses aspects réalistes et huma¬nistes. La troisième partie est consacrée à sa mission et sa vocation éducatives. La quatrième partie analyse son roman Troisième lycée de jeunes filles, qui rassemble la plus grande partie de ces thèmes. / The work of Helli Alexiou cannot be dissociated from her life which was largely influenced by her left-wing political ideas and her pedagogic work. The thesis tries to show, in four sections, the active presence of humanism in the evolution of Alexiou’s work, focusing especially on human suffering. The first section deals with the author’s life, the family and historical environment and describes her professional itinerary. The second section takes into account her literary writings, emphasizing the realistic and humanistic aspects. The third section focuses on her teaching mission and teaching vocation. The fourth section analyses her book « Troisième Lycée de jeunes filles » which groups most of these topics.<br>Doctorat en Langues et lettres<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le juste milieu dans l’humanisme de la Renaissance. Elle s’entend comme une contribution à l’histoire de ce mouvement culturel et à la lecture des œuvres qu’il a fait éclore, en langue française et en langue latine, depuis la publication par Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples de son Ars moralis introductoria (1494) jusqu’à la parution du second Quart Livre de François Rabelais (1552). Quelles sont les représentations du juste milieu dans la première moitié du XVIe siècle ? Qu’ont-elles à nous apprendre sur la pensée des humanistes, et sur les formes parfois originales que semble prendre leur piété ? Dans ces chefs-d’œuvre d’étourdissante ambiguïté que sont l’Éloge de la folie d’Érasme, les fictions de Marguerite de Navarre, ou les romans de Rabelais, l’ancienne médiété aristotélicienne paraît en effet s’être transformée en une expérience plus aventureuse. Une expérience spirituelle de vivifiante mortification par les extrêmes. L’expérience d’une illusion consentie dont l’interprète lui-même ne sort peut-être pas indemne. .<br>This study deals with the theme of the golden mean in Renaissance humanism. It contributes to the history of this cultural movement and to the reading of the works that were published at that time, either in French or in Neolatin literature, from Lefèvre d’Étaples’s Ars moralis introductoria (1494) to Rabelais’s Quart Livre de Pantagruel (1552). How is the golden mean depicted in the first half of the sixteenth century ? How do these representations shed light on humanist thought and religious devotion ? In such intricately ambiguous masterpieces as Erasmus’s Encomium Moriae, Marguerite of Navarre’s fictions, or the Rabelaisian chronicles, the old Aristotelian notion of the middle way seems to have become a more daring spiritual enterprise. A process of mortification experienced at the extremes of the moral spectrum. A deceptive but invigorating quest which the reader is invited to enter into and from which he may very well emerge transformed

Full textAbstract:
Les Institutiones iuris canonici de Giovan Paolo Lancellotti (1522-1590), manuel d'enseignement du droit canonique, furent publiées en 1563 et régulièrement rééditées jusque la fin du XVIIIe siècle, sous forme monographique ou jointes au Corpus iuris canonici. L'ouvrage, affilié au courant humaniste juridique, marque une rupture dans la science canonique. Il reprend le plan tripartite " personnes-choses-actions " des Institutiones de Justinien ; ambitionne d'exposer l'ensemble de la discipline de l'Eglise latine en excluant le droit civil ; et est agencé en livres, en titres et en paragraphes concis. Il rompt avec la tradition médiévale qui pratiquait la dialectique des glossateurs, et fait entrer l'Eglise catholique romaine dans l'ère des codifications. L'ouvrage est présenté dans son contexte d'émergence (intentio auctoris), est soumis à une critique externe et interne (intentio operis), et est analysé dans sa réception jusqu'à la mise en place du droit canonique moderne (intentio lectoris).

Jecker, Mélanie. "La notion de prudence dans la pensée castillane médiévale et moderne (1252-1598) : Du roi Sage au roi Prudent ?" Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040213.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse porte sur la notion de prudence dans la pensée castillane médiévale et moderne, depuis le début du règne d'Alphonse X de Castille, dit « le roi Sage », en 1252, jusqu'à la mort de Philippe II, dit « le Prudent », en 1598. Le choix d'une période longue a permis d'analyser dans toute sa complexité le processus de réception et d'adaptation des doctrines classiques sur la prudence par les traducteurs, commentateurs et penseurs politiques castillans. La thèse montre comment ce concept défini dans les textes de l'Antiquité grecque et latine a nourri leur réflexion sur la double nature, rationnelle et politique, de l'homme : la prudence est en effet la vertu intellectuelle qui définit l'homme comme animal politique, et plus particulièrement, chez Aristote, le gouvernant et le législateur. La transmission, fidèle ou non, de la doctrine aristotélicienne des vertus intellectuelles en général, et de la prudence en particulier, se révèle le lieu d'un affrontement entre deux paradigmes royaux dans la Castille d'alors : face au modèle d'un roi sage (sapiens, sabio) disposant d'un pouvoir absolu, que les monarques successifs s'attachent à maintenir tout au long de la période, la haute noblesse et les maîtres ès arts salmantins posent l'image d'un roi simplement prudent au sens où l'entend Aristote, c'est-à-dire faillible, pour mieux l'inviter à gouverner en s'appuyant sur les élites de son royaume<br>This PhD thesis deals with the notion of prudence in medieval and modern Castilian thought, from the beginning of the reign of Alfonso X of Castile, known as “the Wise King”, in 1252, until the death of Philip II, called “the Prudent King”, in 1598. The choice of a long period enabled to analyze in all its complexity the process of reception and adaptation of classical doctrines of Prudence by Castilian translators, commentators and political thinkers. The thesis shows how this concept defined in Greek and Latin Antiquity texts nourished their thougt on the dual nature of man (rational and political): Prudence is indeed the intellectual virtue that defines Man as a Political animal ; in Aristotle's Ethics and Politics, this virtue defines more particularly the ruler and the legislator. This study shows how the transmission, faithful or not, of the Aristotelian doctrine of intellectual virtues in general, and of Prudence in particular, was in Castile the place of a confrontation between two royal paradigms: opposite the model of a Wise king (sapiens, sabio) possessing absolute power, which the successive monarchs strove to maintain throughout the period, the high nobility and the Salmantine Masters of Arts proposed the image of a merely prudent ruler. This latest model, defined by Aristotle as being fallible, allowed them to claim their participation in the governance of the Kingdom

Full textAbstract:
Il existe une problematique specifique au developpement du structuralisme hors de la linguistique. C'est sa modelisation autour d'un primat du signe dans une dimension d'inconscient pour laquelle quatre ruptures sont requises : avec le sujet, le sens, l'histoire et l'homme. Le modele semeiologique anime la formation de la theorie de la fonction symbolique chez levi-strauss, du langage chez barthes, du discours chez foucault, de la trace chez derrida, du proces chez althusser, du signifiant chez lacan. A l'echelle de son extension a tout l'univers symbolique, le structuralisme semeiologique fait un usage systematique des quatre ruptures citees comme protocole methodologique. Dans la mesure ou sujet, sens, histoire, homme sont des categories liees a une theorie de la representation marquee par la presence du signifie, la validite du structuralisme est solidaire de la capacite de son modele a contester le primat de la representation et son lien privilegie a un cogito. Il apparait que l'unite du structuralisme n'est pas stable pour avoir ete mise a l'epreuve sur ses points d'appui [levi-strauss et le retour de l'origine] ou sur ses ruptures [lacan et le sujet]. Les caracteristiques du modele sont donc au carrefour de convergences et de divergences [la mort de l'homme]. C'est en prenant ces caracteristiques comme criteres du projet structuraliste que nous avons observe des impasses et des resurgences [autour des questions de la nature et du sens des mythes chez levi-strauss ; de l'episteme, du politique et du desir chez foucault ; de la lecture althusserienne de marx]. Au niveau du modele erige en meta-systeme le protocole methodologique et l'investigation des structures fondent un discours sur l'homme et le monde qui sterilise la raison pratique. C'est l'"evidement" du concept d'homme au profit d'un ordre symbolique tutelaire<br>The development of structuralism away from linguistics poses its own specific problematics, that of its modellization around the primacy of the sign in a dimension of unconsciousness for which four ruptures are required : with the subject, the meaning, history and man. The semiological model prompts the formation of the theory of the symbolic function in levi-strauss, of language in barthes, of discourse in foucault, of trace in derrida, of process in althusser, and of the significans in lacan. In proportion to its extension to the whole universe of symbols, semiological structuralism makes systematic use of these four ruptures as a methodological approach. In so far as subject, meaning, history and man are categories linked to a theory of representation marked by the presence of the signification, the validity of structuralism is proportional to the capacity of its model to contest the primacy of the representation and its privileged relationship with a cogito. It appears that the unity of structuralism is not stable, as it has been put to the test with regard to its mainstays [levi-strauss and the return to the origin] and its ruptures [lacan and the subject]. The characteristics of the model are therefore at the crossroads of convergences and divergences [the death of man]. It is by taking these characteristics as criteria for the structuralist project that we have observed impasses and resurgences [in relation to the questions of nature and the meaning of myths in levistrauss ; of the episteme, of politics and of desire in foucault ; and of the althusserian reading of marx]. When the model is presented as a meta-system, the methodological approach and the investigation of structures lead to a discourse on man and the world which sterilizes practical reason. This is the "hollowing out" of the concept of man in favour of a tutelary symbolic order

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose une étude parallèle de l’œuvre lyrique de deux poètes néo-latins, l’homme d’État napolitain Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) et le poète de Cour loudunais Jean Salmon Macrin (1490-1557), et des figures de Muses qui personnifient leur désir d’écrire et le caractère réflexif de leur poétique. Après des prolégomènes destinés à retracer l’histoire du motif, la première partie examine la manière dont chacun des deux poètes s’approprie les théories poétiques humanistes relatives à l’inspiration, à l’aptum générique et éthique et à la fonction sociale de la poésie. La seconde partie analyse l’imaginaire de la translatio Musarum et ses enjeux personnels et nationaux, avant d’étudier la représentation de l’univers privé, centrale chez ces deux fondateurs du lyrisme conjugal. Enfin, la troisième partie se penche sur l’élaboration de la persona et la représentation du moi à travers la Muse, d’abord dans les incertitudes de la vocation ou de la carrière de poète, enfin dans l’expression du désir et de l’incomplétude<br>This thesis offers a parallel exploration of the lyrical works composed by two neo-latin poets: Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503), a Neapolitan statesman, and Jean Salmon Macrin (1490-1557), a court poet native of Loudun; it endeavors to determine how the figure of the Muse personifies their desire to write and the reflexive nature of their poetry. Prolegomena are dedicated to retracing the story of the motive. The first part then studies how far each poet falls within the humanist theories of poetics pertaining to the questions of inspiration, the aptum of genre and ethos, and the social status of poetry. The second part analyzes the imaginary representations of the translatio Musarum and its personal and national stakes, moving onwards to the depiction of the private, familiar universe, a crucial theme for these two pioneers of conjugal lyricism. Finally, the third part addresses the construction of the poetic persona and the representation of self through the Muse, first within the uncertainties of the poet’s calling or career, then through the expression of the poet’s flaws and desires

Full textAbstract:
Le De partu virginis de Jacques Sannazar (Naples, 1526) permet d'étudier l'alliance des lettres sacrées et profanes à Naples à la fin du XVème siècle et au début du XVIème. Gilles de Viterbe joua un rôle essentiel auprès de Sannazar et de Giovanni Pontano, poursuivant la tradition de Pétrarque et de Boccace. Sannazar fut ainsi conduit à définir un parnasse évangélisé capable d'unir le loisir lettré et la retraite monastique. La rencontre de la théologie et de la poésie dans le De partu virginis s'opère surtout par les jeux de la lumière sensible et de l'œil du corps auxquels répondent la lumière intelligible et l'œil de l'âme. Le projet de Sannazar consiste aussi à faire servir la beauté et les images profanes à l'expression théologique. Le De partu virginis est ainsi un miroir de l'humanisme chrétien pré-tridentin<br>Jacopo Sannazaro's De partu virginis (Naples, 1526) gives the opportunity to study the concord of sacred and profane letters in Naples at the end of the 15th century and at the beginning of the 16th. Giles of Viterbo exercised a very deep influence on Sannazaro and the aging Giovanni Pontano, adding a chapter to the tradition of Petrarch and Boccaccio. Thus Sannazaro was induced to define a christianized Parnassus that could unify the literary leisure and the monastic retreat. The cooperation of theology and poetry in the De partu virginis is above all perceptible in the relationship between the sensitive light and the bodily eye, inducing another one between the intelligible light and the eye of the soul. Sannazaro's project also consists in putting the profane beauty and images at the service of theological expression. The De partu virginis is thus a mirror to pre-tridentine christian humanism

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines Friedrich Nietzsche's theory of culture. Nietzsche held that all beliefs were arbitrary and culturally contingent; cultures were distinct, organic, homogeneous entities, whose values were mutually incommensurable. I trace the origins of this theory to Nietzsche's experience as a philologist; but I claim that, in deriving his theory from historical data, Nietzsche drew false conclusions. As a mature philosopher, Nietzsche developed a somewhat more subtle theory, according to which cultures functioned like the underlying rules of a game. Thus any cultural world-view was arbitrary, but served as a necessary precondition for thought and communication. I argue that Nietzsche's mature theory led to contradictions and depended upon false inferences which he drew from history. Several of Nietzsche's doctrines including perspectivism, the Eternal Return, and the Overman depend upon his mature theory of culture. A similar theory underlies the work of two representative followers of Nietzsche, Leo Strauss and Jacques Derrida; and I discuss its consequences for their work. I then propose an alternative theory which explains the phenomenon of historical diversity without invoking Nietzsche's picture of reified cultures. Instead of imagining cultures as organic wholes, this alternative paradigm views the cultural background of any person as a heterogeneous collection of ideas and prejudices, often derived from diverse sources. Thus "cultures" are simply ways of categorizing people according to similarities in their backgrounds; and we belong simultaneously to numerous overlapping cultures. This paradigm, I argue, provides support for pluralist and democratic cultural ideals which Nietzsche and his followers have repudiated. Finally, I trace Nietzsche's reasons for criticizing humanistic scholarship to his theory of culture; and I defend humanism on the basis of my alternative paradigm.

LePage, Louise Emma. "Beyond character: a post/Humanist approach to modern theatre." Thesis, University of London, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.588523.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores what it means to be human; specifically, what characters in drama and theatre reveal about what it means to be human. It also explores what it means to talk about dramatic character; specifically, what the human's various forms .reveal about dramatic character and how such forms interact with critical approaches to character. The thesis, thus, has a dual focus but the human and dramatic character are, in the context of my project, importantly, entwined and mutually enlightening. One of the aims of this thesis is to rehabilitate dramatic character. In doing so, it works to rehabilitate humanist subjectivity, too, albeit of a sort that is modified by hybrid structures of being and identity which are informed by posthumanist discourse. Such a structure, I argue, enables humans to be conceived simultaneously as creators and creations. I name this structure post/humanist. The first three chapters consist of theoretically engaged discussions which present the post/humanist framework underpinning this thesis's arguments for identity, subjectivity, and modern dramatic character. Chapter One claims it is a mistake to view the modern human being in exclusively liberal humanist terms and employs Donna Haraway's cyborg to reveal and argue for its indeterminate post/humanist form. Chapter Two makes the case for this thesis's alternative post/humanist account of modern subjectivity by revealing that the representation of liberal humanist subjectivity as the orthodox form of the modern period may have been overstated. Chapter Three argues for a post/humanist method of analysing dramatic character that conceives it as a structure of natural and cultural parts. Chapters Four, Five, and Six present case studies of the characters of Shakespeare's Hamlet (circa 1599-1601), August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888), and Sarah Kane's Blasted (1995). Focusing in these three different versions of modern dramatic characters, detailed analyses reveal forms and identities in process in a world - dramatic and real - that/arms character and is, in turn, also formed by character. 3

Full textAbstract:
La thèse étudie le dernier poème écrit par l’humaniste Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) au tournant du XVIe siècle, le De hortis Hesperidum, une géorgique sur les jardins d’agrumes. Plusieurs chapitres de description de l’œuvre puis une étude historique et pluridisciplinaire s’attachent à jeter de la lumière sur ce testament méconnu de l'humanisme napolitain. Le poème est tout d’abord considéré au regard des diverses lectures qui en furent faites depuis son origine jusqu’à nos jours et, en particulier, de son influence sur la littérature de l’âge classique en Europe. Puis on mène un examen de la versification du poème, de l’histoire du texte et dans l’étude de ses différents témoins, on établit les principes de l’édition qui figure en fin d’ouvrage. Comme le De hortis Hesperidum est le premier texte moderne à suivre la leçon de Virgile en matière de poème didactique, l’étude s’emploie ensuite à dévoiler les ficelles de la recréation du genre géorgique à l’aube de l’époque moderne, en y examinant les formes de narration, le rôle des digressions dans le texte, la présentation du dédicataire et du dédicant. Mais le De hortis Hesperidum est aussi un poème scientifique d’un intérêt précoce pour les agrumes dont il établit les variétés et dont il décrit précisément la culture, avec un tropisme certain pour les jardins d’apparat dont il présage la vogue au XVIe siècle à Naples comme dans toute l’Italie : on y découvre les prémices du jardin maniériste. Ce poème est enfin la peinture d’une vie académique et aristocratique élevée en un idéal que le poète cherche à préserver du tumulte des guerres d’Italie. En complément de l’étude, cette thèse présente la première traduction française intégrale du texte ainsi qu’une nouvelle édition à l’orthographe restituée d’après l’unique manuscrit connu<br>The present thesis studies the last poem written by the humanist Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) in the latefifteenth century/beginning of the sixteenth century : De hortis Hesperidum, a georgic on citrus gardens.Some descriptive chapters, followed by a more analytical and multidisciplinary study, cast light on thisoverlooked testament of Napolitan humanism. The poem is at first considered through its various readingsover time and in particular through its influence on the literature of European classical age. Then, theversification and the textual history of the poem are assessed and the principles of the current edition areestablished, thanks to a careful examination of its testimonies. Since De hortis Hesperidum is the first moderntext to imitate Vergil’s way of composing didactic poetry, the study deciphers the recreation of the georgicgenre at the begining of the modern period, by considering narrations patterns, digression’s role, the way ofpresenting the dedicatee or the poet himself. De hortis Hesperidum is also a scientific poem that demonstratesan early interest for citrus trees, by establishing their varieties and describing their culture, with an obviousattraction for ornemental gardens that foreteils their popularity in sixteenth century Naples and Italy,foreshadowing the beginnings of manierist gardens. Finally the poem pictures the aristocratical life of thePontanian academy. It gives the aspect of an ideal time, kept safe from the commotion of the Italian wars,thanks to the poet. In addition to this study, the thesis countains the first complete French translation of thetext and a new edition in which spelling has been corrected on the only known manuscript of the poem

Full textAbstract:
Since the characteristic logicality of most science fiction can overshadow its debt to Romantic, or more properly, Gothic literature, the humanistic 'science fiction of aspiration' is a rather neglected element of the genre. This study offers evidence of a distinctive, often quite fundamental current of Gothic feeling which runs through some early science fiction; and traces the changing presentation of scientific materialism and the first strains of anticlericalism in later texts. As religious writers also have used the themes and conventions of science fiction astutely in attacking 'profane' science and 'secular' morality, especially in the context of the scientific or materialistic 'utopia', their stories are of considerable interest and are also discussed in detail. A reader by turns reminded of human sinfulness and then again confronted with the imputed inadequacies which the Romantic humanist seeks to transcend may well wonder why religion and science clash so recurrently in science fiction. The provenances, contexts and discourse of the moral perspectives which are commonly encountered in this popular genre are identified and discussed. These are particulary significant in the light of the apostate quality of humanistic texts, and their teleological concerns. Several influential critiques of institutionalised religion and clerical hypocrisy are examined fully; they reveal how the central device of the factitious religion developed from its generic beginnings in Butler's first satire, Erewhon, and emerged as a distinctive feature of science fiction. From the outset, the utilization of Faustian, Promethean and Messianic protagonists in this 'science fiction of aspiration' is scrutinised. Other intertextual features, whether conceptual, structural or thematic, are also elucidated. The study concludes with an examination of the most hubristic, sublime and teleological of the many themes of contemporary science fiction: the self-transcendence of man, the ultimate fulfilment of humanistic aspiration.

Full textAbstract:
A partir de la redecouverte humaniste du de rerum natura la recherche entend cerner les diverses roles que lucrece et epicure ont joue, entre le xve et le xvie siecles. La premiere partie de la these analyse les grands themes historiques et philosophiques dans l'etude de la fortune d'un auteur. Lucrece y est confronte a la philologie et aux problemes de la transmission des textes anciens (chapitre i). On s'attache ensuite a l'analyse de la grande saison de l'ethique epicurienne et de l'integration dans la pensee ethique de certains humanistes de l'hedonisme epicurien (chapitre ii). On tente d'etablir la veritable place de l'epicurisme au sein du pretendu atheisme de la renaissance (chapitre iii). Enfin, on examine un phenomene plus inattendu, la facon ou lucrece et epicure interviennent pour 'corriger' la physique aristotelicienne (chapitre iv). La seconde partie est consacree a l'influence de lucrece comme modele rhetorique et litteraire et a l'utilisation qu'en font certains ecrivains et theoriciens de la litterature dans le debat autour de la poetique d'aristote. L'analyse porte sur la poesie scientifique neo-latine et son emploi du modele de lucrece. Celui-ci entraine des procedes comme l'usage des metaphores, de la mythologie et le pathos de la poesie cosmologique (examines au chapitre i).

Full textAbstract:
La problématique de cette thèse gravite autour de l'esthétique de la synthèse, abordée ici sous son occurence musicale. Retenue pour son caractère exemplatif, la tentative menée en ce domaine par la compositrice française Rolande Falcinelli - à travers un choix de six œuvres qui associent tonalité, modalité, sérialisme, leitmotive, influences extra-européennes -, fournit à la fois le prétexte et le support d'investigation. La rétrospective de la carrière de la musicienne, depuis ses études au Conservatoire de Paris (1930) jusqu'à sa participation aux destinées du Centre d'Etude de Musique Orientale (CEMO - 1960-70), en passant par la révolution avant-gardiste de l'après-seconde guerre mondiale, permet de retracer le contexte socio-historique dans lequel s'enracine cette initiative. Ceci afin d'en comprendre la genèse et les enjeux. A savoir : créer les conditions propices à l'émergence d'un œcuménisme musical, rendu possible par le biais d'"universaux". Quête à laquelle aspire une frange non négligeable des compositeurs d'aujourd'hui. Ainsi, et eu égard à la relative discrétion de son parcours, Rolande Falcinelli contribue au débat esthétique de son temps. A l'aube d'une postmodernité en crise de sens, qui cherche à renouer les liens avec l'antériorité - au risque de succomber au piège de la réification -, elle propose la vision d'un art pétri de valeurs humanistes, dont la perpétuelle évolution s'enracine dans la permanence

Full textAbstract:
There are two parallel discourses on humanism nowadays. One conceives of humanism as a worldview and a philosophical position. The other takes it to be a cultural phenomenon typical of the European Renaissance. The critics interested in considering humanism conceptually, as a rule, are not Renaissance scholars. Operating from either a postmodern or a postcolonial perspective, they often speak of humanism as the backbone of Western thought or the mainstay of European modernity and, in any case, as a bankrupt ideology of the West. Conversely, the Renaissance scholars are more concerned with the task of making sense of the idea of humanism in its original historical context than with considering it in relation to its other, later developments and remain, for the most part, unwilling to address the broader questions posed by humanism.
This dissertation purports to bring the philosophical and the historical discourses on humanism together. I focus specifically on Renaissance humanism and ground my reflection firmly in textual analyses of late XV and XVI century sources. More concretely, I put forward a reading of two groups of texts. The first group includes three works exploring the arch-theme of the Renaissance, dignitas hominis, from the perspective of a relational concept of identity formation. These are: Pico della Mirandola's Oratio (1486), Bovelles's De sapiente (1511) and Vives's Fabula de homine (1518). The second group of texts contains three works which fall into the category of Renaissance Americanist literature: Cabeza de Vaca's Naufragios (1542), Galeotto Cei's Viaggio e relazione delle Indie (written after 1553) and Jean de Léry's Histoire d'un voyage faict en la terre du Brésil (1578).
The bridge between these two bodies of texts is the idea, found in Pico, Bovelles and Vives, that arriving at a sense of self always involves a detour through otherness, as experienced in one's community, Nature and God. The encounter narratives, in illustrating the impact of America on the Renaissance European traveler, bring to life what philosophers theorized in the peace and quiet of their studies - the essential indefiniteness of the self unless inhabited by meanings drawn from without.<br>2016-09-29

Bien qu’il ait inspiré des contemporains plus célèbres, tels François Rabelais et Clément Marot, et fréquenté des humanistes de premier plan, bien qu’il soit l’auteur d’une forme de tragédie latine inédite et maintes fois rééditée, et d’une chronique du règne de Louis XII connue des historiens, le poète néo-latin Nicolas Barthélemy de Loches est resté parfaitement méconnu. Il est ainsi nécessaire de rassembler, corriger et compléter les données dont on peut disposer sur ce personnage et ses oeuvres, mais aussi de reconstituer le cadre social, littéraire et historique dans lequel il a vécu et composé, afin de réévaluer la diversité et la richesse poétique de ses oeuvres. Ces données suffisent à montrer que les écrits de Barthélemy ne sont pas ceux d’un moine cloîtré, mais bien plutôt ceux d’un véritable humaniste engagé dans les réformes de son temps, qu’elles soient pédagogiques, monastiques ou évangéliques. L’édition d’un des recueils poétiques de Barthélemy les plus représentatifs de sa production littéraire (le recueil varié paru à Paris en 1520) vient nourrir et confirmer cette lecture<br>Although he inspired famous contemporaries like François Rabelais or Clément Marot, and spent time with leading humanists, although he wrote a new Latin tragedy form many times reprinted and a chronicle about the reign of Louis XII familiar to historians, very little is known about the Neo-Latin poet Nicolas Barthélemy de Loches. Collecting, correcting and completing existing data about the man and his writings is necessary, as well as the reconstruction of the social, literary and historical environment in which he lived and wrote, in order to reevaluate the poetic diversity and richness of his work. Such data are enough to show that Barthélemy’s works were not written by a cloistered monk, but rather by a true humanist involved in the pedagogical, monastic and evangelical reforms of his time. The edition of one of the most representative poetic collections written by Barthélemy (a varied collection printed in 1520 in Paris) supports and confirms this interpretation

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores humanism, the rediscovery of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome, in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century England. It does so with reference to texts, institutional settings, and networks both within and beyond England, and examines the activities of several seemingly minor figures who have been absent from recent scholarship on the topic: John Holt, William Lily, Richard Croke, Leonard Cox, and Thomas Lupset. These figures made distinctive and original contributions to the genres in which they operated, whether the grammatical manual, educational treatise, dialogue, or philosophical meditation. They are also noteworthy for their considerable influence, whether in England or further abroad. With regard to Croke and Cox, the integration of previously unknown sources from France and Germany and overlooked ones from eastern Europe reveals that England could be an exporter and not merely an importer of humanism. Taken together, these individuals demonstrate that English humanism was more sophisticated and complex than its frequent characterisation as 'Erasmian' would suggest. In addition, this dissertation analyses the influence of humanism on two school foundations: St Paul's School and Ipswich College. It re-evaluates the portrayal of John Colet as an anti-intellectual, and understands St Paul's as a deeply personal endeavour, reflecting his desire to do better for the next generation. It establishes the depth and significance of humanism in Cardinal Wolsey's foundation of Ipswich College, hitherto accorded less importance by historians than his Oxford college. The examination of the little-known materials he published on the eve of his fall in 1529, together with reports from staff on its progress, show that he regarded it as central to his ambitious vision for England and to the creation of his own reputation as a civic humanist. This research therefore revises our understanding of a neglected period, and engages with the vexed questions at the heart of the study of humanism: how contemporaries dealt with the tension between their faith and their enthusiasm for pagan culture, and regarded the rival attractions of scholarly leisure and active public service.

Full textAbstract:
Historians have long recognized the symbiotic relationship between learned culture, urban life and Iberian expansion in the creation of “Latin” America out of the ruins of pre-Columbian polities, a process described most famously by Ángel Rama in his account of the “lettered city” (ciudad letrada). This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe. It is thus a study of the “global lettered city,” known to contemporaries as the “republic of letters,” from its rapid expansion in the sixteenth century to its reordering in the Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions with a particular focus on the function of its key scholarly-literary practice, classicizing rhetoric and oratory as revived by renaissance humanists.
This dissertation is divided into five chapters. In Chapter 1, I argue that renaissance humanism and classical rhetoric played a pivotal role in shaping and diffusing the political ideology of the global Spanish Monarchy. As the centerpieces of multisensory Baroque rituals regularly celebrated in urban centers, such as Mexico City, Lima, and Manila, classicizing orations and sermons bolstered the Spanish Monarchy through appeals to Greco-Roman imperial models and Christian humanist ideas of virtue. In the same vein, in Chapter Two, I argue that classical rhetoric was an instrument of global spiritual conquest on the Jesuit route from Rome to Japan.
This dissertation then treats some less well-known applications of humanism and the classical rhetorical tradition, cultural practices that also served to undermine or even directly oppose European imperial ambitions. In Chapter 3, I examine the role of late-humanist eloquence and erudition in the expression of a local “Mexican” identity. In Chapter 4, I show that late-humanism served to build community in Benjamin Franklin’s quarter of the “global lettered city.” Finally, in Chapter 5, I examine the role of post-humanist classicizing rhetoric in the articulation of radical political and social ideas in Age of Revolutions. In preparing this global history, I have examined primary sources in thirteen countries.<br>History

Full textAbstract:
Historians have traditionally viewed the controversy between the ancients and moderns within the narrow scope of the title. However, in the seventeenth century the issue of learning and knowledge was a significant issue in the controversy.
By 1600, the humanists were well established in the universities and applied the classical world view as an ideal for life. The humanists' emphasis on the classic world view along with their compatibility with scientific investigation strengthened their influence in university learning, which lasted until the mid-seventeenth century.
From the 1640s onward, several groups explicitly dcriticized the prominence of humanist ideals in the universities. The sense of these criticisms and the humanists' responses indicate that the issue was not simply ancient against modern, but one world view against another.
During the Civil War and Interregnum, radical puritans censured the use of human learning in the universities and alerted the humanists to future attacks on their domination of learning. After the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, the new philosophy emerged as a strong force in the quest for knowledge. The new philosophers' vitality encouraged them to denounce human learning and propose the subordination of human learning to the ever-advancing new philosophy. As a result, the humanists staunchly defended traditional learning and their standing in the universities.
This thesis re-examines the ancient and modern controversy during the seventeenth century and views it as a continuing debate over which knowledge would best benefit English society. In this way, historians can better understand the motivations for humanists to the reactions of the humanists to the scientists.<br>Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
<p> During the early twentieth century, Japan was modernizing in all areas of science and art, including children’s literature. Ogawa Mimei (1882-1961) was a prolific writer who advanced various literary forms such as short stories, poems, essays, children’s stories, and children’s songs. As a writer, he was most active during the late Meiji (1868-1912) to Taishō (1912-1926) periods when he was a socialist. During that time, he penned many socialist short stories and children’s stories that were filtered through his humanistic, anarchistic, and romanticist ideals. In this thesis, I analyze Mimei’s socialist short stories and children’s stories written in the 1910s and 1920s. I identify both the characteristics of his writing style and the themes so we can probe Mimei’s ideological and aesthetic ideas, which have been discounted by contemporary critics. His socialist short stories challenged the dogmatic literary approach of Japanese proletarian literature during its golden age of the late 1920s and early 1930s. His socialist children’s stories also deviated from the standard of Japanese children’s literature in the 1950s and 1960s. In this thesis, I break away from the narrow views that confined Mimei to certain literary standards. This thesis is a reevaluation of Mimei’s literature on his own terms from a holistic perspective.</p><p>

Angelos Terzakis, romancier grec, est l'un des principaux représentants de la génération de 1930, mais aussi et surtout un grand humaniste qui a vécu une époque tumultueuse, marquée de longues guerres, de bouleversements sociaux, politiques et intellectuels. Excellent connaisseur de la littérature grecque, il découvre très vite les enseignements occidentaux. Sous l'influence des auteurs européens, il crée des oeuvres neuves ou se reflète avec de plus en plus d'intensité et de profondeur son histoire personnelle, intimement liée à celle de sa patrie. Le destin tragique du peuple grec le rend grave, l'obscurité qui l'entoure le pousse à la recherche d'une liberté rédemptrice. Il veut ainsi mettre son oeuvre au service de la jeunesse de son pays. Ses romans, qui oscillent entre la sérénité et la souffrance, marquent un tournant pour la prose néohellénique et lui ouvrent le chemin du succès. La joie et la paix étroitement imbriquées terminent son oeuvre romanesque et l'amènent à la révélation intérieure, à la vérité

Hansen, Emily. "From 'humanist' to 'Godly'? : the changing social function of education in early modern English grammar schools." Thesis, University of York, 2015. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/10120/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the social function of England’s grammar schools between approximately 1480 and 1640, and how this changed due to the influences of both humanism and religious reform. It explores the grammar school curriculum, including instruction in Latin grammar and in rhetoric, as well as the teaching of Greek, religious instruction, and the general ‘experience‘ of attending school in the early modern period; it also addresses the process of founding and administering a school, the role of the schoolmaster, and the overall purpose of grammar school education, and who within society was able to benefit from that education. This thesis argues three main points: the first is that, despite becoming part of an educational ‘framework’ which was meant to help encourage religious understanding, the religious instruction found in a grammar school was in fact a very small proportion of the curriculum compared to the study of classical literature. Second, despite contemporary criticism of the humanist curriculum of grammar and rhetoric taught in the grammar schools, this curriculum remained in place continuously throughout the early modern period. Third, the definition of an ‘educated’ person was someone who had received instruction in the grammatical and rhetorical curriculum of the grammar schools, whether this was in a grammar school itself, or from a private tutor. The grammar school curriculum, and the ideal educated person which it was meant to produce, was kept very separate from other subjects, such as mathematics and modern languages and instruction in the vernacular. Grammar schools were put to use, officially, in upholding loyalty to the established church, and encouraging the spread of religious knowledge, yet the means to this end was primarily via the teaching of classical, secular, material.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis sets to sketch Chinese intellectuals’ sustained efforts to search for an alternative modernity to the Western model throughout the twentieth century, and uncover the interaction between intellectual politics and Chinese modernity discourse by historicizing and contextualizing Chinese modernity discourse.
This study starts with delineating the consistence and the inconsistence of Chinese modernity discourses by juxtaposing different historical conditions and examining reappeared trends of thoughts. Three intellectual currents, i.e., cultural conservatism, humanism, and professionalism, which emerged in the May Fourth period and remerged in the post-socialist condition, are examined to mirror the spiral dynamics and the locus of Chinese modernity. Their respective roles in reconstructing Chinese cultural, ethical and academic orders in response to Western model of modernity are highlighted in the research. Cultural conservatism attempts to legitimize the Chinese culture in the framework of global modernity by resetting or reinterpreting the dialectical relation between the whole and part, universalism, and essentialism. Humanism emphasizes the standard, the guidance of authority, and the self-perfection to resist the ethical disorder caused by the so-called “modern spirit”, which is embodied by individualism, romanticism, and the immoderate expansion of desire. Professionalism influences the pattern of producing and reproducing knowledge about modernity by re-standardizing the academic and the discursive fields and by remolding the identity of the agents.
After exposing how the “alternative modernity” in China, as a discursive-political device, has been produced and repackaged with various contents and meanings, this thesis proceeds to explore the intellectual pedestal of Chinese modernity discourses from two aspects. First, how do the intellectual strategies of self-positioning and position-taking influence knowledge production and reproduction of the Chinese modernity discourse; second, how articulation and re-articulation of modernity discourse reflect the self-adjustments of intellectual politics as well as identity shifts. Through the comparative and diachronic examinations, it poses that, as Chinese modernity discourse is increasingly served as a symbolic capital or a strategy of intellectual politics, it gradually loses its authenticity or even becomes a signifier without signified. Meanwhile, the state-led modernization practice is reversely becoming homogenous, stable, and less diverse, although the dominant ideology, namely, socialism with Chinese characteristics, is, in itself, hybrid, paradoxical, and strategically manufactured.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Comparative Literature<br>Doctoral<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
Today's technical communicators enjoy an increasingly broader role and influence in the workplace, and are often given latitude to use engaging rhetoric and personal touches in many kinds of communications. Historical documents, particularly those that are substantially removed from our own era, can offer fresh approaches and insight into the enduring elements of successful communication. This study explores the technical writings of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and considers their usefulness to professionals today.
Although the political writing of Franklin and Jefferson is more familiar, both men frequently wrote about scientific and technical subjects and were well-known in their day for these documents. Franklin created a captivating persona and arguments which carried emotional and logical appeal. Jefferson was a student of ancient rhetoric and applied classical principles of arrangement to guide readers. His fondness for statistical records led to a skill in presenting numerical data and other types of information in creative, efficient ways. By using tone, language, and description, both Franklin and Jefferson created technical narratives that are equally informative and aesthetically pleasing.
The contemporary era of technical communication has been shaped by positivism, the plain language movement, and humanism, among other significant trends. Franklin's and Jefferson's approaches to technical communication both support and challenge the guiding philosophies of these movements. Their styles are reviewed in this study against the context of modern approaches. Opportunities for further historical study are also offered, including additional writings of our Founding Fathers and technical writing from the turn of the twentieth century.<br>M.A.<br>Masters<br>English<br>Arts and Humanities<br>English; Technical Communications Track

Full textAbstract:
&ldquo<br>New monumentality&rdquo<br>is a term which was first introduced to architectural discourse by Sigfried Giedion, Jose Luis Sert, and Fernand Lé<br>ger right after the post-World War II in the early forties. The effect of the term comes from the polemical power of reformulation of the accustomed category &ldquo<br>monument&rdquo<br>within the field of the modern architecture. In this way, as it is shaped by the three authors, for the first time &ldquo<br>New Monumentality&rdquo<br>had been identified as a modern task under the name of Nine Points on Monumentality in 1943. Therefore, this thesis is mainly grounded on this significant text that is a primary manifestation of the need for the new monumentality.
On these bases, that the manifesto is stressed an effort to determine the ethics of the post war modern architecture regarding: historicism, functionalism, and representation. This thesis seeks to clarify the self-critical frame which is unfolded by the manifesto within the context of the modern architecture. Thus, the first one of the three objectives of this thesis is to clarify the concept of new monumentality<br>the second one is to locate its position in the history of modern architecture<br>and the third one is to differentiate proposed and unintended outcomes of this movement within the contemporary discourses of architecture.

Solidarity in the respect of difference appears as the only opportunity through which, in history, we can overcome the forces of radical evil.

Os elementos para a formulação e exame dessa hipótese provêm das teorias marxistas do trabalho, conforme reformuladas e atualizadas por autores como Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz e Ricardo Antunes, os quais, mesmo não uniformemente, apontam os elementos atuais de uma crise da categoria \'trabalho\' como elemento central da formação da riqueza. Também os conceitos de comunidade, solidariedade, esperança e amizade, conforme expostos e analisados por Giorgio Agamben e Terry Eagleton, servirão para problematizar as conclusões do trabalho. O aspecto estético, consubstanciado no desenho industrial utilizado nos móveis produzidos pela Unilabor, aparece como fundamento secundário da hipótese de insuficiência substantiva apresentada, pois pretendeu ser fator pedagógico, portanto de aprendizado de ofício, para os operários envolvidos na autogestão. Tal programa estético, tanto quanto a solidariedade, a amizade e a racionalidade substantiva, também mostrou-se insuficiente para a manutenção dos laços comunitários.<br>This study aims to gather elements to explain the crisis that dissolved Unilabor, a workers\' self-management experience in São Paulo that was unique in its time, through the analysis of the company\'s internal documentation, through information provided by some of the participants who were interviewed, as well as by resorting to the hypothesis of prevalence of an instrumental rationality, at one point, in place of the substantive rationality assumed in the fundamentals of the community. The elements for the formulation and analysis of this hypothesis come from Marxist theories of labor, as reformulated and updated by authors such as Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz, and Ricardo Antunes, who, albeit not uniformly, have pointed out the current elements of a crisis of the category \'work\' as a central element in the creation of wealth. Additionally, the concepts of community, solidarity, hope, and friendship, as defined and analyzed by Giorgio Agamben, and Terry Eagleton will be used to open the conclusions of this paper up to discussion. The aesthetic aspect, embodied in the industrial design of the furniture produced by Unilabor is present as a background for the substantive insufficiency hypothesis that is presented, since it intends to function as a factor that is pedagogical, thus concerning the learning of one\'s craft by workers involved in the self-management. This aesthetic program, as much as the solidarity, friendship, and substantive rationality, also proved to be insufficient for the maintenance of community ties.

Full textAbstract:
Le projet consiste à retracer la postérité du grand théologien du Moyen Âge tardif, Jean Gerson (1363-1429) aussi bien dans le milieu protestant que chez les penseurs catholiques du XVIème siècle. Homme d’église, éducateur, poète, penseur du premier ordre et acteur majeur dans l’histoire politique et religieuse de la France, il n’a pas reçu toute l’attention qu’il mérite. Le premier objectif de la thèse consiste ainsi à sortir le nom de Gerson de l’ombre en mettant en évidence son influence au-delà du XVème siècle, ce qui n’a pas été fait auparavant. Visant à surmonter les clivages religieux et nationaux, cette étude présente les traits majeurs de son influence à travers la multiplicité des usages et des interprétations de sa pensée dont les diverses composantes s’articulent différemment au fil du temps. L’approche intégrale de la thèse cherche à combler un manque historiographique puisque la postérité de Gerson, parfois considérée dans ses diverses régions, n’a pas encore fait objet d’étude dans sa globalité. Comme l’attitude envers l’autorité de Gerson fut largement tributaire des conflits religieux qui agitèrent l’Europe, sa présence posthume dépendit surtout des objectifs polémiques et des prises de positions idéologiques de ceux qui trouvaient en lui une source d’inspiration. En conséquence, la thèse est organisée chronologiquement, confessionnellement, ainsi que géographiquement. Afin de fournir au lecteur l’arrière-plan historique précédant immédiatement la Réforme, l’étude commence après le Concile de Constance. D’un point de vue dénominationnel, la thèse est divisée, de façon relativement égale, entre les réceptions protestante et catholique, à l’exception de la postérité de Gerson en Angleterre et en Écosse qui constitue un chapitre à part. L’étude révèle des tendances dans sa réception touchant à l’humanisme, aux théologies systématique et pastorale, au mysticisme dévotionnel, le droit et l’historiographie, laissant de côté sa pensée conciliariste<br>The project consists in tracing the legacy of the great late medieval theologian Jean Gerson (1363-1429) both in Protestant circles and among Catholic thinkers of the 16th century. A churchman, educator, poet, humanist, preacher and a first-class thinker, he has not received the attention he deserves. The dissertation hopes to achieve precisely this primary goal: to take Gerson’s name out of shadow and bring him into spotlight, by showing his influence beyond 15th century, which hasn’t been done before. Although the attitude towards Gerson’s authority was largely conditioned by religious conflicts that had agitated Europe during the Reformation, and his posthumous presence depended above all on the polemical objectives and ideological positions of those who found in him a source of inspiration, the dissertation seeks to overcome religious and national divisions and partisan scholarship. The contents of the dissertation are organized chronologically, denominationally, as well as geographically. In order to provide the reader with historical background immediately preceding the Reformation, chronologically it begins after the closure of the Council of Constance. Denominationally, the study is divided, relatively equally, between Protestant and Catholic receptions. Aside from Gerson’s legacy in England and Scotland, which constitutes a separate chapter, his reception in different regions is represented by geographical subdivisions within chapters. By presenting major features of his influence through the massive appropriation of his thought and work, the study reveals discernable tendencies in Gerson’s reception relevant to humanism, systematic theology, devotional mysticism, pastoral care, jurisprudence and early modern historiography, while leaving conciliarist aspect aside

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats behandlar idéer och ideologier i två tidskrifter, Djurens rätt och Djurfront, utgivna av djurskyddsföreningen Nordiska Samfundet mot Plågsamma Djurförsök under 1970-talet. Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka vilka idéer och ideologier som framkommer i tidskrifterna, det vill säga vilka värderingar och föreställningar om verkligheten som kommer till uttryck. För detta har jag använt mig av idé- och ideologianalys. Min teori består i en förståelse av språk och begrepp som uppbyggt och format av en antropocentrisk diskurs som särskiljer och upphöjer människan och det mänskliga från djuret och det djuriska. Vidare menar jag att detta får konsekvenser för hur en rörelse som ämnar ändra på djurens underordnade ställning hanterar begrepp som är kopplade till det mänskliga och begrepp som ställs i motsättning till det mänskliga enligt traditionella dikotomier. Undersökningen visar att det i huvudsak finns två sätt att hantera bärande begrepp. Det ena är att tillskriva begreppen en delvis ny mening som är förenlig med syftet att förändra djurens status eller minska utnyttjandet av djur. Det andra är att peka ut olika begrepp som bärare av antropocentriska maktstrukturer, och därav ta avstånd från dem. Begreppen hanteras på olika sätt hos olika skribenter i tidskrifterna och i huvudsak kan vi finna två större omfattande ideologier. Den första kommer främst ur äldre djurskyddsrörelse. För denna linje är medlidande, empati, det andliga och subjektiva bärande begrepp. Den andra linjen som utvecklas och blir allt mer utpräglad under 1970-talet bemöter djurförtrycket med begrepp som generellt är i ett dualistiskt förhållande till den första linjen, däribland rationalitet, rättighet, vetenskaplighet och objektivitet. Begreppen frihet och frigörelse får också en viktig funktion för att förändra djurens status, vilket kopplar samman såväl den äldre linjen med den senare, då dem kopplas samman med begreppen rättighet och medlidande.

Maxson, Brian. "The Many Shades of Praise: Politics and Panegyrics in Fifteenth-Century Florentine Diplomacy." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2011. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/6187.
Full textAbstract:
Fifteenth-century diplomatic protocol required the city of Florence to send diplomats to congratulate both new and militarily victorious rulers. Diplomats on such missions poured praise on their triumphant allies and new rulers at friendly locations. However, political realities also meant that these diplomats would sometimes have to praise rulers whose accession or victory opposed Florentine interests. Moreover, different allies and enemies required different levels of praise. Jealous rulers compared the gifts, status, and oratory that they received from Florence to the Florentine entourages sent to their neighbors. Sending diplomats with too little or too much social status and eloquence could spell diplomatic disaster. Diplomats met these challenges by varying the style, structure, and content of their speeches. Far from formulaic pronouncements of goodwill, diplomatic orations varied from one speech to the next in order to meet the demands of the complex diplomatic world into which they fit. Contextualizing these orations reveals the subtle reservations of diplomats praising a hostile ruler, the insertion of specific citations to flatter specific audiences, and the changing intellectual and stylistic interests of humanists throughout the fifteenth century. This essay will examine the different shades of flattery practiced by Florentine diplomats and the contexts that explain these variations.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse constitue la première étude d’ensemble de l’œuvre poétique yiddish d’Élia Lévita (1469-1549) qui cherche à définir sa place dans la littérature de la Renaissance en analysant les transferts esthétiques et culturels ayant présidé à sa production. Elle situe l’œuvre vernaculaire de ce savant hébraïste, proche des humanistes chrétiens, dans les traditions poétiques juives hébraïques et yiddish et dans la logique d’une affirmation du rôle de l’écrivain et de la langue vernaculaire dans la société juive. Elle analyse également la portée des modèles extérieurs, chrétiens, en insistant sur l’inscription des romans de chevalerie de Lévita dans l’évolution générale du genre chevaleresque en Italie, et met en évidence le rôle fondamental qu’a joué l’Arioste, et en particulier le Roland furieux, dans le raffinement progressif du projet esthétique de l’auteur. Enfin, elle propose la première analyse d’un certain nombre de textes de la littérature yiddish ancienne, conservés dans des manuscrits, et fournit des arguments pour l’attribution de nouvelles œuvres à Lévita, dont un long poème satirique sur les femmes. Par son ampleur et par sa variété, l’œuvre vernaculaire d’Élia Lévita constitue non seulement la première œuvre moderne de la littérature yiddish mais aussi un cas particulièrement éclairant sur la diffusion des modèles esthétiques de la Renaissance dans des catégories ethniques (les juifs) et sociales (les classes populaires) que l’on aurait pu croire éloignées de ces mutations culturelles<br>This PhD dissertation is the first study entirely dedicated to the poetical creation of Elia Levita in Yiddish (1469-1549) and aims at defining its place in Renaissance literature by proposing a detailed analysis of the esthetical and cultural transfers this work illustrates. It locates the vernacular production of this renowned Hebraist, who was acquainted with numerous Christian Humanists, inside the Yiddish and Hebrew poetical traditions and sheds light on the new functions endorsed by the writer and the vernacular language in Jewish society at the beginning of the modern era. It also discusses the influence of external – i.e. Christian – models on the poet and insists on the participation of Levita’s chivalric romances to the global evolution of this genre in Italian literature, by underlying, in particular, the essential role played by Ariost, and his Orlando Furioso, in the progressive refinement of the author poetical practice. Finally, it analyses, for the first time, some texts of Old Yiddish literature which were still buried in manuscripts, and argues for the attribution of new works to Elia Levita, among them, a long satire about women. Elia Levita’s vernacular work not only constitutes, by its size and variety, the first modern work of Yiddish literature but it is also a rich and enlightening example of the diffusion of Renaissance esthetical models inside ethnic and social groups (the Jews and popular classes) which one might have thought untouched by such cultural transformations

Previous issue date: 2015-11-27<br>One Hundred Years of Solitud (1967), novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, is a masterpiece of love and loneliness, in which reality and mysticism are enlaced to illustrate the miraculous history of Latin America through the tropical and fictitious settlement of Macondo, enlarged by the fantasy of its author. This research, integrating science and literary text, examines spatiality of the above-mentioned novel based on human and cultural geography and emphasizes space of human sociality by the categories of location, space, landscape and lived experiences. Hence, narrative space represents an essential category to comprehend subjective and intersubjective relations, as well as different feelings such as topophilia and topophobia that man establishes with locations. Research Methodology is based on phenomenology and the results reveal space as a protagonist of this novel, underlining the importance of its meaning in the narrative.<br>Cem anos de solidão (1967), do autor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, é uma obra prima de amor e solidão, em que realidade e mito se entrelaçam para mostrar através do povoado tropical e fictício de Macondo, a história maravilhosa da América Latina, alargada pela fantasia do seu autor. Esta pesquisa que entrelaça ciência e texto literário, objetivou estudar a espacialidade na referida obra à luz da Geografia Humanista Cultural. Tal estudo põe em relevo o espaço das convivências humanas, através dos conceitos de lugar, espaço, paisagem e experiências vividas. Sob esta ótica, o espaço narrativo se constitui uma categoria essencial para se compreender as relações subjetivas, intersubjetivas e os diferentes sentimentos que o homem estabelece com o lugar, entre os quais estão os sentimentos de topofilia e topofobia. A base metodológica da pesquisa é a fenomenologia. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontaram o espaço como protagonista da obra, o que confirma a importância que semelhante categoria assume na narrativa.

Niggemann, Andrew John. "Martin Luther's Hebrew in mid-career : the Minor Prophets translation." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/277415.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation provides a comprehensive account of Martin Luther’s Hebrew translation in his academic mid-career. Apart from the Psalms, no book of the Hebrew Bible has yet been examined in any comprehensive manner in terms of Luther’s Hebrew translation. Moreover, research to date has predominantly focused on either ascertaining Luther’s personal Hebrew skills, or on identifying his sources for Hebrew knowledge. This dissertation furthers the scholarly understanding of Luther’s Hebrew by examining his Minor Prophets translation, one of the final pieces of his first complete translation of the Hebrew Bible. As part of the analysis, it investigates the relationship between philology and theology in his Hebrew translation, focusing specifically on one of the themes that dominated his interpretation of the Prophets: his concept of Anfechtung. Chapter 1 establishes the context of Luther’s academic mid-career Hebrew, providing a brief sketch of the history of his Minor Prophets translation, followed by an overview of the Hebrew resources in and around Wittenberg which he had to draw upon. Chapter 2 examines the role of the obscurity of the Hebrew text in his translation, and how this obscurity led to various types of contradictions and vacillations in his interpretations. Chapter 3 investigates the role that Luther’s sense of the semantic intensity of the Hebrew language played in his translation. Chapter 4 examines Luther’s use of “inner-biblical interpretation” – i.e. biblical quotations and references – to support, and moreover, to build his translations of the Hebrew texts. Finally, Chapter 5 examines the influence of Hebrew on Luther’s exploitation of the mystical tradition in his translation of the Minor Prophets. This dissertation, in short, shows that by mid-career, the impact of Hebrew on Luther’s Bible translation was immense and very diverse, more so than has been appreciated. It expands the frame of reference with which scholars can understand Luther’s Hebrew. It provides detailed analyses of many examples of his Hebrew translation which have never before been discussed or examined in any depth, and it provides hundreds of examples of his methodological handling of Hebrew translation issues. And it includes one of the most exhaustive analyses to date of three key philological challenges that confronted him in translating the Bible: Hebrew figures of speech, the Hebrew trope of repetition, and Hebrew transliteration. This dissertation also includes as an Appendix a substantial body of refined data from Luther’s Hebrew translation, which further illuminates the examples in this study, and facilitates additional analysis for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Du dialogue de Sartre et B. Lévy, la seule trace écrite sont les entretiens publiés peu avant la mort de Sartre sous le titre de L'Espoir maintenant. Chacun des deux penseurs a affirmé l'importance de ce dialogue pour lui, mais le scandale lié à la publication des entretiens a rendu difficile leur prise au sérieux malgré ces déclarations. Nous avons voulu les prendre résolument au sérieux, ce qui nécessitait d'abord de les resituer dans le cadre plus vaste du dialogue Sartre-Lévy, qu'il fallait commencer par reconstituer. La mise à disposition des archives personnelles de B. Lévy a rendu possible cette reconstitution. Nous avons par ailleurs travaillé sur les nombreux enregistrements des entretiens. Enfin, nous avons réuni une série de conférences et d'articles témoignant du travail commun des deux penseurs. Le dialogue ainsi reconstitué, nous avons alors relu les entretiens publiés et avons tenté de les interroger du point de vue du dialogue dans sa totalité. Cette interrogation impliquait de revenir aux textes antérieurs de Sartre ainsi qu'à ceux, postérieurs, de Benny Lévy. Nous découvrîmes ainsi que le dialogue pouvait être considéré comme événement de la rencontre de deux pensées ou, mieux de deux voix se faisant et se mesurant l'une à l'autre dans le moment même où elles se faisaient. « Texte » concentré, riche d'innombrables échanges préalables, L'Espoir maintenant nécessite d'être explicité afin de livrer ses enjeux réels et sa signification. Ainsi, le dialogue, loin de n'être qu'une forme externe donnée à la pensée, propose - c'était le projet même des deux penseurs - une nouvelle forme de pensée que Sartre appelait « pensée du nous »<br>The only trace left from Sartre and Benny Levy's dialogue is the publication of their interviews called Hope now (L'Espoir maintenant) not long before Sartre's death. Sartre and Lévy both declared how important this dialogue had been for them, but the scandal that followed the publication of the interviews prevented them from being taken seriously. It is now time to consider these interviews more objectively. In order to do so, we had to place them back in the vaster context of the Sartre-Lévy dialogue and that dialogue first had to be reconstituted. The opening of Benny Levy's personal archives made it possible. This source was completed with numerous recordings of the interviews as well as a series of conferences and articles which showed evidence of the common work Sartre and Lévy had undertaken. Once the reconstitution was made, we decided to reconsider the published interviews with the globality of the dialogue in mind. This approach required going back to previous texts from Sartre or consulting posterior ones from Benny Lévy. It showed this dialogue as the interaction of two thoughts confronting each other and taking shape at the same time. Hope now is a very dense text, based on countless preliminary exchanges, that needs explanations to be fully comprehended and to understand what is at stake. It turns out that the dialogue, rather than being an anecdotic form occasionally taken to express a thought, actually gives birth to a specific form of thought, which Sartre himself used to call "Pensée du nous" ("thought of the we")
