Abstract:
In his Tamburlaine plays, Marlowe broached a difficulty of dramaturgy: how can an acting company of a dozen men convey to their audience the scale of military battles involving thousands? Here, I argue that algebra provided Marlowe his solution. I reconsider the numbers critics have noticed are ubiquitous throughout Tamburlaine 1 and 2 in terms of their algebraic functions and their role in effecting an algebraic stage. My contention is that Marlowe utilized algebra to create a unique aesthetic of warfare, in which the enormity of battle could be played out imaginatively within the small space of the Elizabethan theatre.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay treats the image of the sodomite king—in Marlowe's Edward II and in the gossip surrounding James I and his favorites — as a figurative response to resentments stemming from the regulation of access to the monarch. Animosities in Marlowe's play anticipate criticism of the Jacobean Bedchamber in part because Marlowe was responding to libels provoked by innovations in the chamber politics of the French king Henri III that also anticipate Jacobean practice. The figure of the sodomite king offers a useful vehicle to explore tensions between personal and bureaucratic monarchy that are exacerbated by the regulation of access.

Da, Silva Maia Alexandre. "Renaissance desire and disobedience : eroticizing human curiosity and learning in Doctor Faustus." Thesis, McGill University, 1998. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=21205.

Full text
Abstract:
Focusing on the A-text (1604) version of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus , this study further assesses biographical information on the poet and intellectual currents of the Counter Reformation, so as to investigate the play's relation to emergent trends of individualism in the Renaissance, recovery of the pagan past, and intellectual aspirations that could readily collide with orthodoxy. Clearly reflecting anxieties of the period about individual deviance from social norms through intellectual overreaching, Doctor Faustus powerfully testifies to the potential dangers of human aspiration and the scholarly spirit of unbounded learning. While thus exploring the exotic temptations of forbidden knowledge, the play resurrects and interrogates traditional taboos which related intellectual appetite to wrongful lust. Marlowe stages an explosive conflict between the conservative tradition of intellectual inquiry, which distrusted the unorthodox scholarship and Neoplatonic magic that some widely influential thinkers promoted in the Italian Renaissance, and Faustus's own creative desires, ambitions, and imagination. The tension between proscribed and prescribed knowledge climaxes in the invocation of Helen of Troy. While Helen's significance is complex, we find that, in relation to the play's concern with dissent from orthodoxy, she focuses the power of intellectual longing to seduce and ravish the mind. Apart from being a superior play, Doctor Faustus encapsulates Marlowe's awareness of his period's uneasy perception of unconventional thinking, and urges the importance of challenging restrictions on how much one is permitted to know.

Full text
Abstract:
À partir de définitions empruntées à la philosophie antique (Platon, Aristote), à la littérature païenne (Ovide), à la théologie chrétienne (Augustin, Thomas d’Aquin), ou encore à la médecine (de Galien à Robert Burton), cette thèse étudie les représentations du désir dans la poésie narrative élisabéthaine des années 1590, en particulier chez Shakespeare (Venus and Adonis), Marlowe et Chapman (Hero and Leander) et Spenser (The Faerie Queene, II et III). Le postulat de départ est que le désir détermine les conditions de sa représentation : il est ainsi à la fois objet poétique et principe de création littéraire. L’approche rhétorique cible les figures de style associées au mouvement : la métaphore et la métonymie, mais aussi les figures de construction qui jouent sur l’ordre des mots et les figures de pensée qui se dévoilent progressivement, comme l’allégorie. Si le désir fonctionne comme un lieu commun dans les textes de la Renaissance anglaise, le recours à une rhétorique commune et le partage d’un même lieu physique ne garantissent pas nécessairement le rapprochement des corps. C’est face à face que sont envisagés le corps désiré, caractérisé par sa fermeture et considéré comme une œuvre d’art intouchable, et le corps désirant, organisme vivant exposé à la contamination. La perméabilité gagne le poème lui-même, dans son rapport à son environnement politique et social, dans son utilisation de ses sources et dans sa composition. Parce qu’il joue un rôle en tant que mécanisme de progression du récit, notamment dans la relation entre description et narration, le désir invite à envisager la mimésis comme un processus réversible
Starting from definitions of desire borrowed from ancient philosophers (Plato, Aristotle), classical poets (Ovid), Christian theologians (Augustine, Thomas Aquinas), and physicians (from Galen to Robert Burton), this dissertation studies the representations of desire in Elizabethan narrative poetry from the 1590s, and more particularly in Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, Marlowe and Chapman’s Hero and Leander, and Spenser’s Faerie Queene (II and III). The guiding hypothesis is that desire determines the terms and images in which it is represented; it is therefore both a poetical object and a principle of literary creation. Using a rhetorical approach, I focus on stylistic devices linked with motion: metaphor and metonymy, but also figures of construction which play on word order, and figures such as allegory, which progressively unravel thought. Although desire does act as a commonplace in Early Modern texts, sharing the same language and the same locus does not necessarily entail physical communion for the bodies involved. The body of the beloved, enclosed upon itself and depicted as an untouchable work of art, is pitted against the lover’s organism, alive and exposed to contamination. The poem itself becomes permeable in relation to its social and political environment, in its use of sources, and in its compositional procedures. Desire articulates description and narration, leading the narrative forward but also backward, which suggests that mimesis can be a reversible process

Full text
Abstract:
Les systèmes de contrôle-commande jouent un rôle important dans le développement de la civilisation et de la technologie moderne. La perte d’efficacité de l’actionneur agissant sur le système est nocive dans le sens où elle modifie le comportement du système par rapport à celui qui est désiré. Cette thèse est une contribution au pronostic de la durée de vie résiduelle (RUL) et à la maintenance des systèmes de contrôle-commande en boucle fermée avec des actionneurs soumis à dégradation. Dans une première contribution, un cadre de modélisation à l'aide d’un processus markovien déterministe par morceaux est considéré pour modéliser le comportement du système. Dans ce cadre, le comportement du système est représenté par des trajectoires déterministes qui sont intersectées par des sauts d'amplitude aléatoire se produisant à des instants aléatoires et modélisant le phénomène de dégradation discret de l'actionneur. La deuxième contribution est une méthode de pronostic de la RUL du système composée de deux étapes : estimation de la loi de probabilité de l'état du système à l'instant de pronostic par le filtre particulaire et calcul de la RUL qui nécessite l'estimation de la fiabilité du système à partir de cet instant. La troisième contribution correspond à la proposition d’une politique de maintenance à structure paramétrique permettant de prendre en compte dynamiquement les informations disponibles conjointement sur l'état et sur l'environnement courant du système et sous la contrainte de dates d'opportunité
The automatic control systems play an important role in the development of civilization and modern technology. The loss of effectiveness of the actuator acting on the system is harmful in the sense that it modifies the behavior of the system compared to that desired. This thesis is a contribution to the prognosis of the remaining useful life (RUL) and the maintenance of closed loop systems with actuators subjected to degradation. In the first contribution, a modeling framework with piecewise deterministic Markov process is considered in order to model the overall behavior of the system. In this context, the behavior of the system is represented by deterministic trajectories that are intersected by random size jumps occurring at random times and modeling the discrete degradation phenomenon of the actuator. The second contribution is a prognosis method of the system RUL which consists of two steps: the estimation of the probability distribution of the system state at the prognostic instant by particle filtering and the computation of the RUL which requires the estimation of the system reliability starting from the prognostic instant. The third contribution is the proposal of a parametric maintenance policy which dynamically take into account the available information on the state and on the current environment of the system and under the constraint of opportunity dates

Adolphsen, Paul. "Encountering "Agaat": Toward a Dramaturgical Method of Adaptation." 2015. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/masters_theses_2/178.

Full text
Abstract:
This M.F.A. thesis in dramaturgy presents the first-ever stage adaptation of South African writer Marlene van Niekerk’s 2004 novel Agaat. Van Niekerk is an internationally acclaimed novelist, short story writer, poet, and dramatist particularly known for her lengthy novelistic excavations of Afriakner identity, in which sexuality, race, and gender collide in compelling but fraught ways. Covering nearly fifty-years of South African history—from the establishment of apartheid in 1948 through the nation’s transition to democracy in 1994—Agaat investigates everyday cycles of abuse and intimacy through the story of white farmer Milla de Wet and her coloured adopted daughter-cum-maid, Agaat Lourier. This thesis foregrounds the interconnections between theory and practice by presenting both the adaptation itself and a prolonged engagement with theories of adaptation and dramaturgy. It is framed, then, around a simple question: How might dramaturgy and adaptation, as cultural and artistic processes and products, encounter one another? Through analysis of current discussions in the fields of Adaptation Studies and dramaturgy, and reflections on the particular challenges and possibilities of adapting van Niekerk’s novel to the stage, the thesis argues that adaption can be understood as a mode of encounter that opens up spaces for connection between people, texts, and cultures. A dramaturgical method of adaptation is concerned not with hierarchy, authority, and fidelity, but rather with viewing adaptation as a conversation between a network of resonances. The thesis begins with an overview of van Niekerk’s work and context, moves to an examination of current conversations in Adaptation Studies and dramaturgy, and concludes with a prolonged reflection on the process of adapting Agaat to the stage.

Diez, Tobias. "Normal Form of Equivariant Maps and Singular Symplectic Reduction in Infinite Dimensions with Applications to Gauge Field Theory." 2019. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A35217.

Full text
Abstract:
Inspired by problems in gauge field theory, this thesis is concerned with various aspects of infinite-dimensional differential geometry. In the first part, a local normal form theorem for smooth equivariant maps between tame Fréchet manifolds is established. Moreover, an elliptic version of this theorem is obtained. The proof these normal form results is inspired by the Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction for dynamical systems and by the Kuranishi method for moduli spaces, and uses a slice theorem for Fréchet manifolds as the main technical tool. As a consequence of this equivariant normal form theorem, the abstract moduli space obtained by factorizing a level set of the equivariant map with respect to the group action carries the structure of a Kuranishi space, i.e., such moduli spaces are locally modeled on the quotient by a compact group of the zero set of a smooth map. In the second part of the thesis, the theory of singular symplectic reduction is developed in the infinite-dimensional Fréchet setting. By refining the above construction, a normal form for momentum maps similar to the classical Marle–Guillemin–Sternberg normal form is established. Analogous to the reasoning in finite dimensions, this normal form result is then used to show that the reduced phase space decomposes into smooth manifolds each carrying a natural symplectic structure. Finally,the singular symplectic reduction scheme is further investigated in the situation where the original phase space is an infinite-dimensional cotangent bundle. The fibered structure of the cotangent bundle yields a refinement of the usual orbit-momentum type strata into so-called seams. Using a suitable normal form theorem, it is shown that these seams are manifolds. Taking the harmonic oscillator as an example, the influence of the singular seams on dynamics is illustrated. The general results stated above are applied to various gauge theory models. The moduli spaces of anti-self-dual connections in four dimensions and of Yang–Mills connections in two dimensions is studied. Moreover, the stratified structure of the reduced phase space of the Yang–Mills–Higgs theory is investigated in a Hamiltonian formulation after a (3 + 1)-splitting.

Thompson, Dawn. "A politics of memory : cognitive strategies of five women writing in Canada." Thesis, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/7031.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation attempts to develop a counter—memory, a cognitive strategy that provides an alternative to the most prevalent mode of political action by members of minority or subaltern groups: identity politics. It begins with Teresa de Lauretis’ semiotics of subjectivity, which posits the human subject as a shifting series of positions or habits formed through semiotic and cognitive “mapping” of, and being “mapped” by, its environment. De Lauretis maintains that the subject can transform social reality through an “inventive” mode of mapping. The first chapter of this study is a semiotic analysis of the memory system at work in Nicole Brossard’s Picture Theory. It argues that Brossard’s use of holographic technology is an invention that attempts to alter women’s maps of social reality. Quantum physicist David Bohm has also employed the hologram as a theoretical model. By merging Brossard’s holographic memory with Bohm’s theory of a “holomovement,” this study develops an epistemological strategy that alters not only the map of reality, but also the dominant representational mode of cognitive mapping. This enquiry then moves on to other novels written in Canada which have a strong political impetus based on gender, nationality, ethnicity, race and/or class: Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing, Marlene Nourbese Philip’s Looking for Livingstone, Beatrice Culleton’s In Search of April Raintree and Régine Robin’s La Ouébécoite. Through textual analysis, it attempts to establish that although these novels make no mention of holography, each of them employs a memory system that inscribes itself holographically. That holographic memory provides an alternative political strategy to the “identity politics” at work in each of these texts. Each text, in turn, like a fragment of a hologram, adds another structural and political dimension to the hologram. The processual structure of the holographic theory provides a ground for alliances between different political agendas while resisting closure. As an epistemological strategy, it promises to alter both the method and the ground of knowledge.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the staging of Ovidian desire in Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe’s Dido, Queen of Carthage. Much attention has been paid to Ovidian appropriations in Marlowe’s plays and poems as well as to their portrayals of homoeroticism. However, this chapter uses the theory of rhizomatic projection to look beyond linguistic allusion and stylistic imitation to the staging of queer desire that extends beyond the homoerotic and operates against a backdrop of the play’s Virgilian framework and Ovidian adaptation history. A complicated kind of fidelity emerges from the tension between conservative and queer ideologies that take shape through performance and memory. Nonetheless, this chapter argues that the play’s staging of desire through queer erotics, gender reversals, and bodily dissonances ultimately does demonstrate fidelity to Ovid’s ideologies, demonstrating an Ovidian mode that reverberates throughout the rest of Marlowe’s plays and poems.

Abstract:
This chapter provides the first scholarly assessment of how Edward II developed a reputation for having engaged in sexual relationships with his male favourites. Edward’s reputation for non-specific sexually transgressive behaviour developed during his reign; however, the first writer to explicitly state that this transgression constituted sex with men was Christopher Marlowe. Following the publication of Marlowe’s Edward II, discourse concerning Edward and his favourites in texts of all genres shifted towards consensus that their relationships were sexual. As well as documenting the cumulative process by which narratives of sexual transgression were shaped, this chapter provides new insights into the significance of Marlowe’s work, and into the ways in which drama as a genre enabled his historiographical innovation.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Alexander the Great as the monarchical archetype for the medieval heroes of Christopher Marlowe’s Tamburlaine Parts I and II (1587–8) and William Shakespeare’s Henry V (1599). In both plays, Alexander is used to negotiate a place for England on a global stage dominated by the twin poles of the Hapsburg and the Ottoman Empires. Marlowe imagines another northern tribe, Tamburlaine and his Scythians, invading the Ottoman center to build an empire from the periphery. Shakespeare relies on complex pattern of Alexandrian allusions to counterbalance classical history with an English medieval genealogy accompanied by a native heroism imagined capable of defeating the Ottomans. The chapter also shows how Marlowe and Shakespeare utilize Alexander to explore the complexities, ambitions, and limits of England’s imperial identity, and how their protagonists’ campaigns of imperial expansion foregrounded questions of cultural identity and intercultural encounter.

Abstract:
Christopher Marlowe’s radicality has often been situated in his biography, in the rumours of his atheism, homosexuality, and renegade lifestyle. This chapter focuses instead on his edgy, recalcitrant, and defiant poetics. Surveying his major poetic works (his translations of Lucan and Ovid, his lyric poem ‘The Passionate Shepherd to His Love’, his epyllion Hero and Leander, and the blank verse of his plays), the chapter explores how Marlowe’s work resists teleological or end-driven modes of thought. His work does so in many ways: through lines of verse that seem to reach beyond their own end-stopped form, through a kind of anti-narrative poetic eddying that celebrates non-normative sexuality and play, and through a complex defiance of epic triumphalism.

Abstract:
The sixteenth century prints the first treatises in English on ‘poetics’, a branch of literary criticism outlining a theory of poetry. Traditionally, modern scholars understand English poetics to be rhetorical: poetry is a rational form of persuasion. However, sixteenth-century theorists also introduce a counter-theory known as the sublime, first outlined by Longinus, who sees poetry as an irrational art aiming at ‘amazement and wonder’. For Longinus, the goal of sublime poetry is not to civilise the human but to secure freedom from the human: sublime poetry catapults the reader to the godhead. Sidney’s Defence taps into a poetics of sublime freedom, as do other treatises, such as Scott’s Model of Poetry. Consequently, the sixteenth century is the first era to theorise sublime poetic freedom of the literary imagination itself. Poets and playwrights like Marlowe in Doctor Faustus cohere with the theorists by scripting a liberating poetics of sublime authorship.

Abstract:
Few plays insist more adamantly upon a connection between travel and moral loss than The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. Here it is argued that the play written by Christopher Marlowe was performed by the English Comedians in Frankfurt-am-Main as early as Autumn 1592, and that it remained in their repertoire throughout the 1590s—before an English play-text was published (in 1604), indeed before its first recorded English performance (in 1594). The play’s unique ability to reconcile a wide array of comic materials to a powerful moral lesson recommended it to itinerant theatre groups. Yet the tonal unevenness of the extant English editions has been an evergreen concern for editors and critics. Having established that the play was performed abroad and thus adapted for many different audiences and scenarios, this chapter suggests that the confusing middle of the extant text(s) represents the modularity of its structure in the 1590s. Marlowe’s ultimate source had been published in Frankfurt in 1587, and merchants at the city’s fair had practical interest and expertise in contracts of all kinds. The performance of the English play there raises many exciting new questions not only of literary interpretation but also of knowledge transfer in early modern Europe.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter argues that Marlowe’s earliest dramatic works—namely, Dido, Queen of Carthage and the first and second parts of Tamburlaine—share an investment in ecological memory, a form of recollection in which place shapes both the contours and the contents of memory itself. In Dido, Aeneas’s efforts to remember the fallen city of Troy—first through hallucination and later through his attempts to rebuild that city—reveal a tension at the heart of ecological memory, the ease with which the memory of a place can disrupt an individual’s sense of their immediate surroundings and thereby disorient them. Similarly, Tamburlaine stages a tension between two ways of thinking through the environment: a territorializing thought, embodied in Tamburlaine’s “aspyring mind,” and the ecological memory that is figured most poignantly in Zenocrate’s relationship to Damascus. In this way, Marlowe’s earliest plays trace the gap between places remembered and those imagined in order to stage the collision of different forms of ecological thinking.
