Abstract:

Spanish<br>Ph.D.<br>Sacrificial allusions and themes pervade the works of the Venezuelan poet José Antonio Ramos Sucre (1890-1930). However, the recurrent appearance of these allusions, their utilization as metaphors, the interpretation of historical events as sacrifices, and the great number of characters with ascetic or atoning features, have not been examined up to now. The aim of this dissertation, then, is to examine the rhetorical ways and contexts in which José Antonio Ramos Sucre uses sacrifice as a theme. First, I will offer a brief discussion of René Girard's theory of sacrifice. I w

<p> This study examines the ways in which Mexican literary elites, or <i> literatos,</i> sought to engage new readers and expand the reach of their literary practice in the 1920s. Specifically, the analysis focuses on the efforts of Manuel Maples Arce (1898–1981) and Germán List Arzubide (1898–1998) to publicize the vanguard aesthetic movement known as <i> Estridentismo</i> between 1921 and 1927. During the 1920s, as Mexicans reconstructed a nation that had been torn asunder by the violence and upheaval of the Mexican revolution (1910–1920), Maples Arce and List Arzubi

Abstract:

Pascal Quignard est un écrivain qui a choisi de maintenir et de consolider le lien avec l’héritage latin. Son oeuvre en dévoile, cependant, la part la moins connue. L’auteur réhabilite la tradition marginalisée et antiphilosophique de la « rhétorique spéculative » dont les principes ne définissent pas seulement un art de bien dire, mais surtout un art de penser avec les « images » et avec la lettre du langage. Son investigation du champ culturel latin est aussi guidée par l’esprit de « pietas » et de « virtus » propre à la Rome ancienne, ainsi que par une sensibilité hantée par le mystère de l

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the complex interactions among written text, language choice, and political context in Wales in the late-eleventh and early-twelfth centuries. I argue that writers in medieval Wales created in both their literary compositions and their manuscripts intricate layers of protest and subversion in direct opposition to the authority of the Anglo-Norman political hegemony and the aggrandizing spread of the Canterbury-led church. These medieval literati exploited language and script as tools of definition. They privileged Welsh or Latin when their audience shifted, and they

Abstract:

The Glossa ordinaria on the Bible stands as one of the prime achievements of the period in western intellectual history known as the Renaissance of the twelfth century. In spite of the great number of still extant manuscripts very little is known about the circumstances around its composition. This state of affairs is partly explained by the lack of modern and critical editions of the books of the Glossa ordinaria. The present work is the first critical edition of the Glossa ordinaria on the Book of Lamentations, and consists of the forewords, or prothemata, and the first book (of five) of thi

Cuando hablamos de una epidemia, entendemos el fenómeno de una enfermedad que infecta y se propaga.

Abstract:

This dissertation is about the category of hybridity in the discourse of Latinamericanism. In particular, it undertakes a critical interrogation of mestizaje as the grounds for the thought of politics in Latinamericanist critical thought. It advances a set of analyses centered on my claim that mestizaje was never the felicitious grounding of politics it was once thought to be. And given that perhaps the most widely circulated and cited form of Latinamericanist thought today, decoloniality, is premised upon the terms and conditions of mestizaje, this is indeed a timely subject for critical refl

Comparative analysis of the elegists’ approaches to the motif, with particular emphasis on determining where and how each deviates from the cultural assumptions and literary tradition attached to each image, sheds light on the character and purposes of elegy as a genre, as well as on the individual aims and innovations of each poet. The Introduction provides some background on sociological approaches to the study of hair, and considers the reasons why hair imagery should have such a prominent p

Abstract:

The period 100 BC – AD 100 is often seen by scholars as the time when the 'standard' form of educated Latin was established. Standardisation, according to some, was the defining process for the fixing of written language and written norms. Once established, these written norms, we are led to believe, remained unchanged for the rest of the Antiquity. This study addresses this alleged standardisation of Latin in 100 BC – AD 100 by studying variations in spelling and morphology. Elimination of variation is a central part of establishing a standard language, while continuing variation characterise

Abstract:

The present study endeavours to explore the possible survival of British Latin in subRoman Britain. Through a detailed socio-historical analysis it argues that Roman Britain was much more deeply Latinised than hitherto assumed; widespread bilingualism with Latin, and in some cases outright monolingualism in Rome's language, is shown to have extended beyond the army, the upper classes and the cities, and to have in fact become common also in rural districts at least from the 3rd century onwards. To this end, deeply-entrenched beliefs on the nature of British Latin are discussed and dispelled th

This study is motivated by the search for new practices to enhance the teaching of <i>ab initio</i> Latin in UK universities.

At the outset of this research, there was little recent information on Latin pedagogy in UK universities or on student opinions on provision.

Recent studies of queries submitted to Internet Search Engines have shown that non-English queries and unclassifiable queries have nearly tripled during the last decade. Most search engines were originally engineered for English. They do not take full account of inflectional semantics nor, for example, diacritics or the use of capitals which is a common feature in languages other than English. The literature concludes that searching using non-English and non-Latin based queries results in lower success and requires additional user effort to achieve acceptable precision.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the origins and behaviour of the non-canonical morphological phenomenon of heteroclisis in the verb paradigms of Latin and the Romance languages. Heteroclisis is the coexistence, within a single paradigm, of forms which pattern according to different inflectional classes existing otherwise in the language: a heteroclite lexeme can thus be seen as 'mixed' or 'undecided' as to its inflectional identity. I begin by examining the development of the theoretical concept of heteroclisis and approaches to the idea of inflectional class in general, before situating heteroclisis

Abstract:

Since the 1950's, Peru has moved from a rural to an urban society. Rural migration caused a demographic explosion and emerging shantytowns ( barriadas) in peripheral areas of Lima, where a third of Peru's population currently resides. This phenomenon has transformed Lima's Hispanic character. The main actors of this process, referred to in this study as otro suburbano, were mostly Andean-peasant migrants and marginal urban individuals. Together, they built barriadas and occupied traditional urban spaces, and were considered as suburban groups excluded from the conventional city. Despite Peruvi

Abstract:

This thesis takes as its starting point current views on the relationship between man and god in Archaic and Classical Greek literature, according to which mortality and immortality are primarily temporal concepts and, therefore, mutually exclusive. This thesis aims to show that this mutual exclusivity between mortality and immortality is emphasised only in certain poetic genres, while others, namely those centred on extraordinary achievements or exceptional moments in the life of a mortal, can reduce the temporal notion of immortality and emphasise instead the happiness, success, and undistur

Abstract:

This thesis examines the situation of the Latin language in the unique linguistic environment of early fifteenth century Florence. Florence, at this time, offers an interesting study because of the vernacular language's growing status in the wake of the literary success of vernacular authors Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, and the humanist study of Greek language. Joshua Fishman's theories on threatened languages and Reversing Language Shift are used to examine Latin's position in this environment. Chapter I describes Fishman's theories and applies them to the special situation of Florence, giv

Abstract:

The goal of Ingenium is to prompt beginning Latin students to think consciously and critically on Latin grammar prior to translating a sentence, while engaging them with the grammar in an intuitive and hands-on way. Learners commonly make errors in reading Latin, because they do not fully understand the impact of Latin’s grammatical structure—its morphology and syntax—on a sentence’s meaning. Synthesizing instructional methods used for Latin and artificial programming languages, Ingenium visualizes the logical structure of grammar by making each word into a puzzle block, whose shape and color
