Abstract:

Born in 1926, Frances "Sissy" Tarlton Farenthold began her exploration of politics at a young age. In 1942, Farenthold graduated from Hockaday School for Girls. In 1945, she graduated from Vassar College, and in 1949, she graduated from the University of Texas School of Law. Farenthold was a practicing lawyer, participated in the Corpus Christi Human Relations Commission from 1964 to 1969, and directed Nueces County Legal Aid from 1965 to 1967. In 1969, she began her first term in the Texas House of Representatives. During her second term in the House (1971-1972), Farenthold became a leader in the fight against government corruption. In 1972, she ran in the Democratic primary for Texas governor, and forced a close run-off vote with Dolph Briscoe. Soon afterwards in 1972, she was nominated as a Democratic vice-presidential candidate at the Democratic convention, in addition to her nomination as the chairperson of the National Women's Political Caucus. Farenthold ran in the Democratic primary for governor again in 1974, but lost decisively. From 1976 until 1980, she was the first woman president of Wells College, before coming back to Texas and opening a law practice. For the next three decades, Farenthold practiced law, taught at the University of Houston, and furthered her activism for the environment, as well as women's, minority's, gay and lesbian, and immigrant's rights. She currently lives in Houston and continues working towards these goals.

Abstract:

The cult of Joan of Arc has always had an effect on the people of France, throughout history. It has aspired too many different views and re-surfaced at times in crisis for France. During some turbulent years after the mid 19^th century the cult seems to have gained popularity. Emotional and historical writing became a fashion and Joan was presented in different ways depending on the writer and his motifs. As nationalistic front gained in popularity they understood to use her symbol in the name of France.

This following study, named French Nationalism and Joan of Arc: the Use of the Cult of Joan of Arc in France between 1871-1926, has been an attempt to study her cult from an ultra nationalistic point of view. By approaching the subject by a history of ideas theory I have tried to answer my questions in the matter, and tried to de-code the image of Joan of Arc in the name of nationalism. By first studying the nationalistic development in France as background and the basics and philosophy of the ideas I have then begun the research of the period mentioned. First and foremost I have studied the framework of nationalism and then I have used material coherent to my study, such as Action Française, writers of the 19^th-20^th century and other studies. I have come to learn that the cult of Joan was perfect for the time when ultranationalistic feelings grew in the late 19^th century as a response to the ever twisted Dreyfuss-affair. Along with nationalism came anti-Semitism and fascism and in the line of Action Française also royalism. Joan of Arc stood for all those things, at least that is what the nationalist thought, using history and documents to back it up. And if the legend did not fit the purpose, it was made to fit, all in the ideology of nationalism. Joan of Arc became the symbol they wanted for all their own beliefs. Joan of Arc was to be a piece of raw clay, able to take on any form in the hands of politics.

Abstract:

This study researched the sociophilosophical and political evaluation of the French intelligentsi&s reasons for misinterpreting Joan of Arc!s story. George Bernard Shaw’s St. Joan, Andrй Obey’s La Fenкtre, and Jean Anouilh’s L ‘Alouette are the three playwrights and dramas about Joan of Arc that are studied in this work. Shaw is English with different values and beliefs from Obey and Anouilh, who are French with rational and national visions that influenced their work after Shaw’s Saint Joan became a success and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.An analysis of some of their lifelong works was used to gather the reasons for this historical underestimation by the French intelligentsia who discriminated against Joan of Arc. The research found that the difference between the two schools of philosophy as revealed in these dramatists’ works, explains the humanist outcome of a five century old conflict between England and France.The conclusions drawn from the findings show that Joan of Arc’s story appealed to these playwrights where values and philosophies affected the attitudes they demonstrated in their plays.

Abstract:

This study considers the processes by which film and play-texts engage with the mythic figure of Joan of Arc. Chapter One provides an overview of the vast body of work that has been inspired by Joan's history. Chapter Two addresses the tragic configuration of Joan's story, especially with regard to ethical conflict and culpability. In Chapter Three, I discuss the displacement of notions of innocence onto Joan's virginity, youth, illiteracy, and rusticity and examine the ideologically-loaded textual constructions and uses of these elements of her myth. Chapter Four is a consideration of her textually-constructed exclusion from the ordinary run of humanity and of the implications of her strangeness and estrangement. Chapter Five is focused upon representations of Joan's condemnation trial. I consider the processes of narrativisation by which means documentary records become historical accounts. I consider fictional reenactments of Joan's trial as 'texts within texts, ' engaged in a double process of interrogation which allows Joan to be both persecuted for her transgressiveness and elevated to the status of a saint. Chapter Six examines the central importance of Joan's transgressiveness, exploring the disciplinary strategies employed by a variety of film and play texts as they attempt to counter her troublesome ambiguousness, to identify and define her, and to effect her epistemological assimilation. Chapter Seven is a consideration of the similarities and differences between the myths of Joan of Arc and of Christ and their representation in film. It explores the semantic association between transgression and transcendence, between the 'unnatural' and the 'supernatural, ' with regard to their crucial relation to the limits of discourse and epistemology. In Chapter Eight, I explore myth as a discursive practice and examine the operations of myth and of ideology in relation to the obsessive cultural reiteration of the myth of Joan of Arc.

Abstract:

A vida da moça, que ainda criança começara a ouvir vozes lhe revelando a missão de libertar a França dos invasores ingleses, que liderou um exército, coroou o seu rei e teve um destino trágico, sendo queimada viva como herege, parece saída de uma obra literária, mas como bem lembra Colette Beaune Joana dArc é provavelmente, a figura de mulher mais documentada de toda a História. Atualmente contam-se 20.000 estátuas públicas, centenas de biografias e peças de teatro, dezenas de filmes, óperas e músicas. Seria possível desvendar as razões para tamanho sucesso? Essa popularidade foi alcançada ao longo de um processo contínuo e homogêneo, ou houve rupturas, sobressaltos e novas atribuições à heroína que possam ser verificados ao longo do tempo? Essa tese discute a importância da primeira metade do século XIX para esse fenômeno. Nesse período a historiografia francesa se esforçou para enquadrar Joana dArc, heroína há muito honrada pelo reino da França, nos padrões da sociedade pósrevolucionária. Longe de desqualificá-la como figura incompatível com a modernidade pretendida por aquele país, tal como proposto no contexto revolucionário, Joana foi alçada ao panteão dos heróis nacionais tendo sua imagem amalgamada aos ideais de 1789. Buscamos desvendar o processo que tornou possível a popularização de uma nova Joana dArc naquele período, processo intimamente ligado aos valores burgueses então difundidos: a nação, o povo, a pátria, o indivíduo. As novas características atribuídas à Joana correspondiam às expectativas burguesas a partir de um discurso ligado a uma nova visão da História que passou a ser considerada como potencial produtora de verdades e justificativas que embasassem a configuração social que se anunciava.
The life of the young lady whose childhood was haunted by the hearing of voices which revealed to her a mission to free France from English invaders, who led an army, crowned her king had a tragic fate and was burned at the stake as a heretic seems to be taken from a literature work. But as Colette Beaune has rightly pointed out Joan of Arc is probably the most documented woman figure in all World History. It can be numbered about 20,000 public statues, hundreds of biographies and plays, dozens of films, operas and other pieces of music. Would it be possible to unfold the reasons for such an interest in her? The question lies, however, in how quite high popularity was gained. Was it the result of a continuous and homogeneous process or were there interruptions, surprises and new attributions assigned to the heroine that can be verified over time? This thesis discusses the importance of the former half of the nineteenth century to this phenomenon. Throughout this period French historiography struggled to fit Joan of Arc, the heroine overly honored by the kingdom of France, in the patterns of a post-revolutionary society. Far from discrediting her reputation as a figure incompatible with modernity desired by that country, as proposed in the revolutionary context, Joan was elevated to the national pantheon of heroes and had her image amalgamated to the ideals of 1789. Its sought to disclose the process that led to a substantial popularization of a new Joan of Arc at that time, and is intimately connected to bourgeois values disseminated then: nation, people, homeland and individual. New features attributed to Joan met the bourgeoisie expectations through a discourse on a new way of looking at History that turned out to be regarded as a potential producer of truths and justifications to support the social setting that was being announced.

Abstract:

Who was Joan of Arc? That was the first question in my mind before I began my journey of studying this remarkable young woman. I had no idea how special she was. I thought she was just another historical figure that gets lost in history books. All I really knew about her was that she was burned at the stake. What I didn't know was that she led a country's army into battle at the age of seventeen.The adaptation of Mark Twain's novel, Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc into a full length play involves in-depth research into French and English society, religion, war strategy, The Hundred Years War and many other aspects that affected the young Jehanne d'Arc. Research also included in-depth study of the life of Mark Twain. After months of research, the playwriting process began. The process ending with new knowledge in playwriting, dramatic structure and a work that reflects how Joan of Arc can inspire an individual as a true heroine. A staged reading of the play, Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, was presented on Monday, December 3rd, 2012 at the Next Door in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the presentation of Joan of Arc's life in two lyric works, Jules Barbier and Charles Gounod's Jeanne d'Arc (1873) and Auguste Mermet's Jeanne d'Arc (1876), that premiered in Paris following the upheaval of the Franco-Prussian War and Paris Commune. Relying on Parisian journals of the day, I follow two trends: some critics called for a historically-informed presentation of Joan's life and others appealed to retain certain supernatural elements, specifically the Fairy Tree and the Voices, of Joan's story. In addition to these trends, I consider an article printed shortly before the premiere of Mermet's opera and discuss the political and religious implications of the final scene (Charles VII Coronation in Reims or Joan's execution in Rouen) in these two stage works. After an introductory chapter and a chapter tracing the geneses of the melodrama and the opera, the remaining chapters each deal specifically with one of the three above-mentioned lines of inquiry as they relate to Joan of Arc's story. Chapter III discusses historical characters (Charles, duc d'Orléans, King René, and Agnès Sorel), historical music (minuet and Vexilla regis), and music believed to have been sung in the presence of Joan of Arc (Veni Creator Spiritus and Orate pro ea). Chapter IV addresses the continuing presence of legendary, supernatural elements--specifically the Fairy Tree and the Voices--and how these elements have changed in nineteenth-century stage works about Joan. In Chapter V, the difficulty of adapting Joan's life on the stage is examined. A closer look reveals that differing views existed during the 1870s as to exactly what her mission entailed. The two works reflect the changing attitudes on this topic. As a whole, this dissertation offers an examination of two rarely discussed stage works that reveal the political, religious, and musical climate surrounding the figure of Joan of Arc in the 1870s.

Abstract:

The year 1880 was rife with nationalist fervor and a general glorification of the French nation through imagery, literature and legislation. However, at this same time, Les Soirées de Médan, a collection of stories concerning the Franco-Prussian war also appear, bringing with them a distinctly anti-nationalist, harsh, and unforgiving view of the war and France's role in it. This thesis will examine personifications of France within L'attaque du Moulin and Boule de suif, the first two texts of Les Soirées de Médan, and their definite lack of the nationalist enthusiasm that characterized the time of their creation. The study of these allegorical representations reveals the place in the mentality of the French people of the concept they represent, a shorthand for a complex and evolving idea. Though others have mapped out the historical appearance and place of representations of France, I will delve into the possible reasons for the necessity of the feminine in this allegorization, the connotations and conventions that make it an effective tool for fighting nationalist tides for both Zola and Maupassant, and the historical and political context that allow us to trace a general shift in the concept of the nation through these female symbols. Furthermore, given the prevalence of female allegories at the time, and the monopolization of their usage for political purposes, the choice of these authors to employ allegory (a rhetorical mode characterized by its official status with the very regime they are criticizing) takes on further levels of criticism and satire. Exploring the opposition and relationship of these two literary female allegories to contemporary allegorical and visual representations will reveal how they relate to-and eventually criticize and reject-the prevailing political and nationalist discourse of their day.

Abstract:

Jean, Bâtard d'Orléans, comte de Dunois, célèbre pour sa participation aux campagnes johanniques, est aujourd'hui un personnage quelque peu oublié. Essentiellement connu pour ses qualités militaires de même que sa fidélité envers les Orléans, cette figure médiévale conserve pourtant une part d'ombre. En effet, acteur de premier plan du règne de Charles VII, il apparait alors comme un véritable de sang. Dès lors, émerge un nouveau questionnement : comment le Bâtard d'Orléans peut-il prétendre au rang et au titre de prince ? Quelle est sa place réelle au sein de la société ? Peut-il être comparé à d'autres bâtards issus de lignée toute aussi prestigieuse, tels ceux du duc [de] Bourgogne ? Telles sont les interrogations sur lesquelles porte cette thèse. Afin d'y répondre, il est nécessaire d'étudier l'attitude de ce seigneur tant au sein de la Cour du Roi de France que dans son entourage militaire et privé. Pour ce faire, il sera intéressant de reconstituer son Hôtel au moyen de ses trois testaments, de l'inventaire de ses biens et du compte de ses obsèques, conservées à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France. De même, l'étude des nombreuses narrations d'entrées solennelles auxquelles le Bâtard d'Orléans participa, permettra de situer la place du fils naturel de Louis d'Orléans à la cour du roi de France. En outre, l'étude des papiers des Orléans aidera à déterminer si le rôle du Bâtard était avant tout de représenter la Maison d'Orléans, et d'identifier à partir de quel moment il se consacra à l'établissement de sa lignée. De plus, afin de mieux cerner la personnalité du comte de Dunois, ce travail, aux moyens des archives, s'attachera à éclairer les différents procès auxquelles Dunois a participé tels ceux du comte d'Armagnac, du duc d'Alençon, ou encore celui qui l'opposa au comte de Tancarville
Jean, Bastard of Orleans, Earl of Dunois, famous for his participation in the Johannine campaigns, is today a somewhat forgotten character. Essentially known for its military qualities as well as its fidelity to the Orleans, this medieval figure still retains some shade. In fact, a leading actor in the reign of Charles VII, he then appeared as a true Blood Prince. From the on, a new question emerged : how can the Bastard of Orleans claim the rank and title of prince ? What is her real place in society ? Can it be compared to other bastards from an equally prestigious lineage, such as those of Duke of Burgendy ? These are the questions to which this thesis relates

Full text

Abstract:

Jean Bréhal est un dominicain normand, docteur en théologie, qui s’est fait un nom en tant qu’inquisiteur du royaume de France, non pas en traquant l’hérésie, ou en poursuivant des sorcières, mais en annulant des condamnations, et plus particulièrement celle de la Pucelle d’Orléans, vingt-cinq ans après le bûcher de Rouen. Sa longévité dans l’officio inquisitionis (de 1452 à 1474), sous les règnes de Charles VII et de Louis XI, contraste avec le nombre réduit d’affaires qu’il a instruites, d’après les sources. Aussi on peut se demander s’il fait figure d’exception, ou s’il est inquisiteur exemplaire de la fin du Moyen Âge. Le «cas Bréhal» invite à examiner la charge d’inquisiteur après le Concile de Vienne, dans le contexte particulier, à la fois d’un territoire encore marqué par les antagonismes de la guerre de Cent ans, et d’une Église éprouvée par le Grand Schisme et ses séquelles. Sur la base d’un corpus composé principalement des écrits du dominicain, dont certains éléments sont des manuscrits inédits, mais dont le noyau est constitué par la procédure en nullité de la condamnation de Jeanne d’Arc, cette thèse se propose non seulement d’appréhender l’homme et son parcours, mais aussi et surtout sa pensée, d’analyser son écriture scolastique, de saisir le sens de son action, percer ses motivations, et peut-être comprendre la nature du «pouvoir» qu’il a incarné pendant plusieurs décennies. Au final, c’est une époque, des milieux, et la situation d’un office, que cette étude centrée sur Jean Bréhal éclaire, tout autant que la spécificité d’un individu. Elle a surtout pour but de faire connaître une œuvre qui embrasse des champs variés et des centres d’intérêts divers
Jean Bréhal is a Dominican friar from Normandy and a theology professor, who became renowned as an inquisitor in the kingdom of France, neither for tracking down heresy nor pursuing witches, but for quashing sentences, more especially the sentence of condemnation of the Maid of Orléans, twenty five years after she was burnt at the stake in Rouen. The longevity of his tenure in the officium inquisitionis (from 1452 until 1474), in the reigns of Charles VII and Louis XI, contrasts with how few investigations he actually conducted, according to the documentation. So we wonder whether he was an exception or exemplary for the late Middle Ages. The “Bréhal case” suggests looking upon the office of inquisitor after the Council of Vienne, in the particular context of a territory that was still scarred by the divisions of the Hundred Years’ war, and of a Church that had been tested by the Great Schism and its aftermaths. Our corpus mostly consists of the Dominican’s own writings, of which some documents are unpublished manuscripts, and its core lies in the trial of nullification of the condemnation of Joan of Arc. On that basis, the aim of this thesis is to know not only the man and his journey but also, and above all, his thinking, to parse his scholastic prose, to grasp the meaning of his action, to discover his motivation, and to understand the nature of the “power” that he has embodied over several decades. Eventually, this study, while focusing on Jean Bréhal, sheds light as much on a time, a world and the state of an office, as on the specificities of one individual. Above all, its goal is to introduce readers to a body of works that contains various fields and interests

Raigoza, Jaime Antonio. "Temporal Join Processing with Hilbert Curve Space Mapping." NSUWorks, 2013. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/gscis_etd/280.

Full text

Abstract:

Management of data with a time dimension increases the overhead of storage and query processing in large database applications especially with the join operation, which is a commonly used and expensive relational operator whose processing is dependent on the size of the input relations. An index-based approach has been shown to improve the processing of a join operation, which in turn, improves the performance of querying historical data. Temporal data consist of tuples associated with a time interval value having a valid life span of different lengths. With join processing on temporal data, since tuples with longer life spans tend to overlap a greater number of joining tuples, they are likely to be accessed more often. The efficient performance of a temporal join depending on index-clustered data is the main theme studied and researched in this work. The presence of intervals having an extended data range in temporal data makes the join evaluation harder because temporal data are intrinsically multidimensional. Some temporal join processing methods create duplicates of tuples with long life spans to achieve clustering of similar data, which improves the performance on tuples that tend to be accessed more frequently. The proposed Hilbert-Temporal Join (Hilbert-TJ) join algorithm overcomes the need of data duplication by mapping temporal data into Hilbert curve space that is inherently clustered, thus allowing for fast retrieval and storage. A balanced B+ tree index structure was implemented to manage and query the data. The query method identifies data pages containing matching tuples that intersect a multidimensional region. Given that data pages consist of contiguously mapped points on the curve, the query process successively traverses along the curve to determine the next page that intersects the query region by iteratively partitioning the data space. The proposed Adaptive Replacement Cache-Temporal Data (ARC-TD) buffer replacement policy is built upon the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) policy by favoring the cache retention of data pages in proportion to the average life span of the tuples in the buffer. By giving preference to tuples having long life spans, a higher cache hit ratio was evident. The caching priority is also balanced between recently and frequently accessed data. An evaluation and comparison study of the proposed Hilbert-TJ algorithm determined the relative performance with respect to a nested-loop join, a sort-merge join, and a partition-based join algorithm that use a multiversion B+ tree (MVBT) index. The metrics are based on a comparison between the processing time (disk I/O time plus CPU time), cache hit ratio, and index storage size needed to perform the temporal join. The study was conducted with comparisons in terms of the Least Recently Used (LRU), Least Frequently Used (LFU), ARC, and the new ARC-TD buffer replacement policy. Under the given conditions, the expected outcome was that by reducing data redundancy and considering the longevity of frequently accessed temporal data, better performance was achieved. Additionally, the Hilbert-TJ algorithm offers support to both valid-time and transaction-time data.

Full text

Abstract:

Dispersée dans la multiplicité d'ouvrages qui se nourrissent directement de sa légende et abritent son image, Jeanne d'Arc a réussi à les dépasser tous : peu importent les recherches menées sur les détails de sa vie et qui visent à ébranler l'aspect héroïque de sa mission, sa légende continue à prendre le dessus et répand l'image de la petite fille guerrière et libératrice de la France dans le monde entier. Rarement une figure aura donné lieu à autant d'interprétations différentes, à autant de débats et de récupérations de partis opposés. Symbole de la résistance à toute invasion étrangère et de l'obéissance aux ordres divins, elle n'a cessé de se prêter à d'innombrables rôles et d'exprimer les aspirations les plus contradictoires. Au XXe siècle, l'œuvre de Charles Péguy consacrée à Jeanne d'Arc est une résurrection du personnage de la Pucelle où les données historiques sont prises comme prétexte pour doubler l'acte héroïque de Jeanne d'une portée mythique qui engage le salut de l'humanité entière. À travers le mythe de Jeanne d'Arc, Péguy s'interroge sur le sort de l'humanité, sur le sens caché de l'Incarnation et sur le mystère de la Rédemption : les images se superposent, les mots doublent de sens et derrière le spectacle de la guerre se devinent, plus horribles encore, les cris sourds des âmes damnées. Avec Péguy, Jeanne dépasse son rôle d'héroïne et de sainte au service de la France et des Français, elle cherche le salut de l'humanité à travers celui de son pays. Dès lors et à travers la conception d'une vie humaine, celle de Jeanne, Péguy nous fait assister à la constitution d'un mythe à la fois personnel et universel
Despite the numerous books that dealt with the legend story of Joan of Arc, still she managed to overcome all the expectations. Regardless the detailed researches done to reinforce the heroic aspect of her mission, her legend continues to spread all over the world the image Joan of Arc the warrior and liberator of France. In the literature rarely a character had given rise to such so different opinions and discussions as Joan of Arc had done. A symbol of resistance against any foreign invasion and obedience to divine commands, she had continued give herself to a countless roles and to be a source of inspiration in most contradictory manner. In the twentieth century, the work of Charles Peguy is a renovation of character of Joan of Arc “The Maid of Orleans”. In his book, Peguy emphasize the heroic mythic part of Jeanne concerning the salvation of whole humanity. Throughout the legend of Joan of Arc, Peguy rise the question about the fait of humanity through the hidden sense of incarnation and the mystery of redemption : the images serve to metaphor, the wards have double meanings and behind the spectacle of war which becoming more and more horrible we can hear the cries of the cursed souls. With the writings of Peguy, Joan overcome her role as a heroine and saint to serve France and the French people, she is looking forward the salvation of the humanity throughout the salvation of her country. Hence Peguy shows us the creation of a personal and universal myth with the help of simple conception of Joan’s humane life

Abstract:

Gabriel Hanotaux (1853-1944) est une figure oubliée de la Troisième République : ancien ministre des Affaires étrangères (1894-1898), historien de Richelieu et homme de lettres élu à l’Académie française (1897), cet homme d’État n’a eu d’autres soucis que le sort de la France. Déçu de la sphère politique qu’il intégra au Quai d’Orsay durant près de vingt ans (1879-1898), où il subit de plein fouet la critique acerbe d’une opinion publique bouillonnante, il quitta le Gouvernement pour ne plus endosser que des rôles ponctuels officiels – ambassadeur extraordinaire lors de la canonisation de Jeanne d’Arc à Rome (1920), délégué de la France à la Société des Nations (1920-1923) – et décidait de défendre cette France en suivant l’enseignement de Richelieu. Aidé de son large réseau, il fonda le Comité France-Amérique (1909) pour renforcer une amitié outre-Atlantique qu’il jugeait décisive face à la tension croissante des relations internationales, créa localement le Comité de l’Aisne au moment de la Première Guerre mondiale pour soutenir l’effort de guerre à l’arrière, usa de sa plume pour défendre une paix durable, fonda avec un collège de savants l’Académie des Sciences coloniales (1923) pour participer à ce mouvement de la « plus grande France », et contribua, enfin, au rayonnement des lettres, arts et sciences du pays jusqu’à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Auteur de nombreux ouvrages et articles, dont l’Histoire de la Nation française, Hanotaux a été tant un acteur qu’un observateur de cette société dont il fréquentait intimement les chefs d’État et de Gouvernement de Gambetta au maréchal Pétain en passant par J. Ferry, R. Poincaré, A. Millerand ou encore A. Lebrun
Gabriel Hanotaux (1853-1944) is a forgotten personality of the Third Republic: former Minister for Foreign Affairs (1894-1898), historian of Richelieu and literary scholar voted membership into the French Academy (1897), this statesman was mainly concerned with the future of France. Disappointed in the political sphere which he joined at the Quai d’Orsay for nearly twenty years (1879-1898) in which he was severely criticized by a seething public opinion, he left the government to assume only intermittent and official functions – official ambassador at the canonization of Joan of Arc in Rome (1920), delegate of France to the League of Nations (1920-1923) – and he decided to defend this France by following Richelieu’s teaching. With the help of his broad network, he founded the Comité France-Amérique (1909) with the aim of strengthening a friendship across the Atlantic that he considered decisive in the face of the growing tension in international relations, he created the local Comité de l’Aisne during the First World War to support the war effort at the back of the front. He used his pen to defend a permanent peace, he founded the Académie des Sciences coloniales (1923) with a college of scholars to participate in this "greater France" movement, and finally, he contributed to the influence of the country's letters, arts and sciences until the Second World War. Author of numerous books and articles, including L’Histoire de la Nation française, he was both an actor and an observer of this society, whose heads of state and government he was intimately acquainted with, from Gambetta to Marshal Petain, via J. Ferry, R. Poincare, A. Millerand and A. Lebrun

Abstract:

Jeanne d’Arc devient l’un des personnages clés de la fin du XIXème siècle. Façonnée et tiraillée, construite comme un symbole, elle est au cœur des enjeux politiques. C’est dans ce contexte que Camille Vallery-Radot réunit sa collection. Née en 1880 et contemporaine de cette période, elle s’est prise de passion pour Jeanne d’Arc et collectionne dès son enfance et jusqu’à sa mort en 1927 tout ce qui a trait à son héroïne, soit 10 000 documents. Sa collection s’apparente à un regard contemporain, et qui se veut en même temps exhaustif, de la période qui, progressivement, fait de la Pucelle un symbole fort de la Patrie. Elle témoigne de cette construction d’un mythe et d’un véritable culte lorsque Jeanne d’Arc devient le symbole de tout un peuple jusqu’à devenir ensuite un produit moteur pour le tourisme naissant. Le personnage de Jeanne d’Arc prend une place centrale dans les politiques culturelles qui commencent à se structurer à cette même période. A Rouen, la préservation et la valorisation du patrimoine lié à l’héroïne est au coeur de la démarche. Au-delà de sa fonction commémorative, l’enjeu de ce patrimoine devient aussi celui de l’attractivité d’un territoire
By the end of the 19th century, Joan of Arc became one of the key character, shaped and raised as a symbol, she is at the core of political stakes. The Camille Vallery Radot's collection fits this context. She was born in 1880 and was contemporary of that period. She became passionate about Joan of Arc at the early age to her death in 1927. She collected everything she can find about her heroin, in total around 10 000 documents. This collection is a certain contemporary viewpoint, even exhaustive, of the period which will gradually built the Pucelle d’Orléans to a strong mother country symbol. Her collection witnesses the creation of myth and cult of Joan of Arc for the entire French population to become a product to rising tourism. Joan of Arc becomes the mainspring of cultural politics which arise at that time. In Rouen, preservation and development of patrimony linked to the heroin is deep in the heart of the procedures that leads not only to a commemoration, but also to a challenge of attractiveness issue

Abstract:

This dissertation discusses two flute works by Joan Tower (born 1938). The performance medium consists of flute alone, Hexachords for Solo Flute (1972), and flute and orchestra, the Flute Concerto (1989). The discussion on Hexachords consists of a theoretical analysis; discussion on the Flute Concerto pertains to Tower's flute writing through an investigation into her musical language and specific performance techniques. Numerous examples are included to illustrate various aspects of Tower's style. Conclusions follow. The purpose of the paper is, first, to illustrate that basic knowledge of the twelve-tone method can bring a composition out of uncertainty for the performer and allow him to present what is unique within it. Secondly, it is to investigate the stylistic maturation of Joan Tower's flute works. In order to facilitate a better understanding of Tower's music and to provide commentary about the performance of each work, the writer has quoted from personal interviews with the composer and with flutists Carol Wincenc and Patricia Spencer, to whom the works are dedicated.

Full text

Abstract:

John Graves's creative non-fiction has earned him respect in Texas letters as a seminal writer but scarce critical commentary of his work outside the region. Ecological criticism examines how language, culture and the land interact, providing a context in which to discuss Graves in relation to the southwestern literary tradition of J. Frank Dobie, Walter P. Webb, and Roy Bedichek, to southern pastoral in the Virgilian mode, and to American nature writing. Graves's rhetorical strategies, including his appropriation of form, his non-polemical voice, his experimentation with narrative persona, and his utilization of traditional tropes of metaphor, metonymy, and irony, establish him as a conservative and Romantic writer of place concerned with the friction between traditional agrarian values and the demands of late-twentieth-century urban/technological existence. Sequentially, Graves's three main booksGoodbye to a River (1960), Hard Scrabble (1974), and From a Limestone Ledge (1980)represent a movement from the pastoral mode of the outward journey and return to the more domestic world of georgic, from the mode of leisure and contemplation to the demands and rewards of hard work and ownership. As such they represent not only progression or maturation in the arc of the narrator's life but a desire to reconcile ideological poles first examined so long ago in Virgil: leisure and work, freedom and responsibility, rural and urban values.

Full text

Abstract:

In spite of an increasing interest in the analysis of Renaissance music by contemporary theorists, few analyses of lute music exist. It is hoped that this thesis will serve to open a new area of analysis to scholars of Renaissance music. Chapter I deals with the background information necessary for the analysis, including Dowland's biography, lute history, technique, and notation, and the practice of modality on the lute. An overview of Dowland's music, especially the solo lute music, ends the chapter. Chapter II traces the form and development of the fantasia and surveys Dowland's seven fantasias. In Chapters III-V, the works are divided according to mode and analyzed in terms of counterpoint, dissonance, motivic development and modality. Chapter VI provides concluding remarks.
