Abstract:
La thèse, intitulée "Tre miti ovidiani in Dante : Piramo e Tisbe, Narciso e Semele" est une analyse de la présence de ces trois fabulae des Métamorphoses dans l'œuvre de Dante. La sélection des mythes a été dictée par la nécessité de définir un champ aussi vaste et par l'intention de mettre en évidence la relation entre l'Eros et la Connaissances, qui est si important dans le système poétique et philosophique de l'auteur florentin.Cette étude se fie par ailleurs l'objective de souligner la manière dont Dante utilise le modèle d'Ovide: la rencontre avec la source classique prévoit un dialogue continu, à la fois textuel et théorique-conceptuel. Le mythe devient ainsi un récit qui faut démêler dans ses applications multiples et parfois contradictoires. En ce qui concerne les sources, une attention particulière a été accordée aux commentaires médiévaux sur les Métamorphoses. En particulier, les œuvres suivantes ont été gardées à l'esprit : le Allegoriae super Ovidii Metamorphosi de Arnolfo d'Orléans, le Integumenta Ovidii de Jean de Garland, l'exégèse de Giovanni del Virgilio et l'Ovide moralisé. Ce poème mythographique de la première moitié du XIVe siècle, même si postérieur, s'est révélé utile en vue d'une reconstruction de la réception du mythe après la Commedia. On a donc essayé de reconstruire la perception réelle que le Moyen Age avait du texte d'Ovide, en prenant également en compte la présence des fabulae dans la littérature vernaculaire antérieure ou contemporaine de Dante.L'ensemble de l'analyse tend à montrer comment, dans le voyage de perfectionnement de Dante, le concept d'Eros soit intimement lié à la possibilité d'une vraie connaissance, à condition qu'elle soit soutenue par la raison et la foi

Abstract:
The following with analyze Ovid’s Metamorphoses, a collection of myths, as it relates to mythology in ancient Rome. Through the centuries, the religious beliefs of the Romans have been distorted. By using the Metamorphoses, the intersection between religion and myth was explored to determine how mythology related to religion. To answer this question, I will look at Rome’s religious practices and traditions, how they differed from other religions and the role religion played in Roman culture, as well as the role society played in influencing Ovid’s narrative. During this exploration, it was revealed that there was no single truth in Roman religion, as citizens were able to believe and practice a number of traditions, even those that contradicted one another. Furthermore, the Metamorphoses illustrated three integral aspects of Roman religious beliefs: that the gods existed, required devotion, and actively intervened in mortal affairs.

This dissertation investigates the presence of the song of the sirens by Homer in "Meu tio o Iauaretê ", by Guimarães Rosa, using as theoretical reference the studies of Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) and Nogueira (2014), among others. In the wake of the interpretation of Blanchot, which traces an analogy between the song of the sirens and the literature making, every writer repeats the deed of Homeric’s character, since the narrative is an unpredictable and infinite searching movement, which makes present the navigation from the actual song to the imaginary song. We question whether there is a resumption of the song of the sirens in the studied narrative, with the goal of specifying how it happens and what its significance is, assuming that the jaguanhenhém song erupts from the threshold experience of metamorphosis between human and inhuman voice/song; portuguese, tupi and animal noise; articulated and unarticulated language. After analysis, we have come to the conclusion that this narrative stages the act of narrating itself, using a language between human-inhuman, in the process of enchantment, seduction and perdition of the triad author-narrator-reader
Esta dissertação investiga a presença do canto das sereias homéricas em “Meu Tio o Iauaretê”, de Guimarães Rosa, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) e Nogueira (2014), dentre outros. Na esteira da interpretação blanchotiana, que traça uma analogia entre o canto das sereias e o fazer literário, todo escritor repetiria o feito da personagem homérica, uma vez que a narrativa é um movimento imprevisível e infinito de busca, que presentifica a navegação do canto real ao canto imaginário. Questionamos se há uma retomada do canto das sereias na narrativa estudada, com o objetivo de elencar como isto se dá e qual o seu significado, partindo da hipótese de que o canto jaguanhenhém irrompe da experiência liminar de metamorfose entre voz/canto humano e inumano; português, tupi e ruído animal; língua articulada e não articulada. A conclusão a que chegamos, após a análise, é a de que, nesta narrativa roseana, encena-se o gesto do próprio ato de narrar, em uma linguagem entre humano-inumano, no processo de encantamento, sedução e perdição da tríade autor-narrador-leitor

Abstract:
This paper represents the final culmination of a theater senior project. The project consisted of an analytical research paper, performance in a mainstage department production, and supporting process documentation. I portrayed Myrrha, Hunger, Zeus, and others in a production of the play Metamorphoses. Through research on Mary Zimmerman’s 1998 play Metamorphoses, adapted from the works of Roman poet Ovid, this thesis grapples with the historical meaning of the myth of Myrrha. A polarizing figure, Myrrha was cursed to fall in lust with her father. By exploring of portrayals sexual assault onstage, I tackle themes of audience relationships to trauma and taboo subjects. I seek to understand the importance of her story in a modern context, specifically considering the #metoo movement and increasingly public discussions around sexual violence, rape culture, and systematic oppression. I stress our responsibility to understand how codifying stories on stage impacts audiences. This project also contains my conceptualization for the characters I portrayed in Metamorphoses, my rehearsal journal, and post-show reflections. In these sections, I detail the acting theory behind my characters as well as the steps we took to adapt Metamorphoses for our community.

Abstract:
Ce travail construit une dantologie transcendantale fondée sur la fécondité et la légitimité du commentarisme français tout au long du dix-neuvième siècle. Le nom et l’œuvre de Dante progressent dans la vie de l’esprit et de la culture après la sidération de la Révolution, avec la naissance, l’apogée, le déclin et les suites métamorphosées du Romantisme. Un amour soumis à la loi de la divisibilité de quelques fragments de la Divine Comédie se transforme graduellement en une première dantologie. Des figures archétypiques issues de domaines hétérogènes donnent une armature conceptuelle et poétique à cette double spirale entrecroisée : la lecture des textes de Dante éclairée par la critique contemporaine ; et la compréhension des morphologies divergentes du Romantisme en la diversité de ses moments. Dante est un penseur de l’histoire, des enjeux politiques, du christianisme jusqu’en ses limites internes et externes, du fait initiatique, de la différence sexuelle dans laquelle UN POETE SE TRANSHUMANISE PARCE QU’IL EST AIME PAR BEATRICE APRES AVOIR ETE GUIDE PAR VIRGILE. Chateaubriand, Balzac, Nerval et Hugo sont les parangons d’une lecture tournée vers un usage libre, infidèle mais hautement créateur. Fauriel, Ozanam et Aroux représentent la volonté d’une critique raisonnée de la doctrine philosophique et théologique dantesque. Dante et son œuvre s’inscrivent au cœur des mille agitations d’un dix-neuvième siècle qui reconfigure la France et l’Europe. La rémanence de l’espérance du voyageur cherchant à revoir les étoiles et à contempler la Trinité influence les réminiscences du progressisme plurivoque. La figure d’airain du poète acrimonieux et vengeur accompagne les esprits désenchantés. Celui qui devient l’égal des dieux après avoir affronté une Dame qui tue autant qu’elle ennoblit inspire les mystiques et ceux qui cherchent une nouvelle spiritualité. Le chantre de la foi, revenu dans le giron de l’Église après la conversion de son amour, réchauffe les catholiques. L’homme qui dédouble les pouvoirs comme les soleils de Rome devient un interlocuteur privilégié après l’Empire. Nous ne cherchons pas une liste exhaustive, thématique ou chronologique, notionnelle ou par auteur. À travers des exemples ayant valeur de paradigmes, nous montrons comment cette union de connaissance et d’usage créateur construit des FIGURES de Dante qui entrent en écho avec les inquiétudes et les espérances, les attentes et les angoisses, du Romantisme. Alors Dante et son « Poème Sacré » ne sont plus seulement des occasions de références. Ils deviennent un MYTHE au cœur du rapport entre mystique religieuse et initiation par l’Éternel-Féminin, engagement dans l’histoire et culte de la Beauté, aspiration à un sursaut régénérateur du monde et conscience amère du tragique de la scission entre l’Idéal et le Réel, mythe du Tombeau et promesse d’élévation spirituelle. Parmi les voies possibles, NOUS DEFENDONS UN DANTE SE VOUANT AU CULTE INITIATIQUE DES TOMBEAUX ET DES « DAMES QUI ONT L’INTELLECT D’AMOUR. » Il appartient à un catholicisme élargi, dilaté – le catholicisme transcendantal de Maistre qui assume son ésotérisme arcane fondé sur la polysémie des textes et la liberté accordée par Dante au commentaire. L’auteur de la Divine Comédie s’inscrit dans un Romantisme de plus en plus sombre, antimoderne, à la fois POUVOIR D’ANAMNESE D’UNE GRANDEUR ABOLIE ET PROPHETE D’UN MONDE EN GERMINATION, qui reprend ses thèmes : les questions de la laïcité, de la langue pour le peuple contre celle des dieux, de l’aspiration à l’idéal et à la communication du visible et de l’invisible, de la puissance métaphysique de la Dame. Notre Dante est celui qui doit choisir « l’autre voie », celle de la catabase nécessaire avant l’anabase ; et qui doit faire preuve de la plus grande piété envers les ombres. Alors ce Dante et ce Romantisme « ne descendent pas sans raison dans l’abîme » : ils y trouvent, notamment par la puissance de la parole, la promesse de l’Esprit
This work builds a transcendental dantology based on a leibnizian paradigm of a perennial philosophy. Dante's name and work get on gradually in the life of spirit and French culture, after the astonishment of the Revolution, with the birth, the apogee, the decline and the transformed sequels of Romanticism. One love submitted to the rule of divisibility in direction of some fragments of the Divine Comedy turns into a first dantology. Archetypal figures coming from heterogeneous domains provide a conceptual and poetical framework at this double-crossed spiral: the reading of Dante's texts enlightened by present-day criticism; and the understanding of the divergent morphologies of the various moments of Romanticism. Dante appears as a thinker of history, political stakes, Christianism even in his internal and external limits, initiatory fact, sexual difference in which A POET BECOMES TRANSHUMAN THANKS TO BEATRICE'S LOVE AND VIRGIL'S GUIDING. Chateaubriand, Balzac, Nerval and Hugo are the paragons of a reading going to a free use, inaccurate but highly creative. Fauriel, Ozanam and Aroux represent the quest of a reasoned criticism of the philosophical and theological dantean doctrine. Dante and his work got included in the heart of thousands occasions of unrest of a nineteenth century that reconfigure France and Europe. The persistence of the hope of a traveller attempting to see once more the stars and contemplate the Trinity influence the reminiscences of progressivism in many aspects. The brazen figure of an acrimonious and revengeful poet goes with disenchanted minds. The one that becomes a companion of the other gods after struggling with an ennobling and killing Lady inspire the mystics and those who look for a new spirituality. The faith apologist, once he has got back into the bosom of the Church thanks to the conversion of his love, warms up the Catholics. The man who divides into two the powers as the suns of Rome turns to a favoured speaker after the Empire. We don't look for an exhaustive, thematical, notional, chronological or nominal list. But, through examples as paradigms, it's shown how that union between knowledge and creative use builds, in less than a century, some figures of Dante that echo with the concerns and hopes, expectations and anguishes, of Romanticism. In this way Dante and his "Sacred Poem" aren't reductive to citations occasions. They become a myth at the heart of the relation between religious mystic and initiation thanks to the Eternal-Feminine, commitment in history and cult of Beauty, craving for a world-wide regenerative burst and being aware of the tragic scission between Ideal and Real, myth of the Tomb and promise of spiritual elevation. Among the various possibilities, WE DEFEND A DANTE DEVOTED TO THE INITIATORY CULT OF THE SEPULCHRE AND THE "LADIES WHO GOT THE INTELLECT OF LOVE." He belongs to a broadened, dilated Catholicism - the transcendental Catholicism by Maistre, that takes on his Arcanum esotericism based on the polysemy of the texts and the freedom granted by Dante to the commentary. The author of the Divine Comedy takes place in a more and more gloomy, antimodernist, Romanticism; BOTH THE ANAMNESIS POWER OF AN ABOLISHED GREATNESS AND THE PROPHET FOR WORLD IN GERMINATION that picks his themes up again: questions of laicity, popular language in front of the gods 'one, aspiration at the Ideal and at the link between visible and invisible, metaphysical power of the Lady. Our Dante is the one who has to take care of "the other path", the catabasis before the anabases; and who has to show up the highest devotion toward the shadows. Then, this Dante and this Romanticism don't journey to the "deep randomly": here they find, in particular thanks to the power of Speech, the promise of the Spirit

Full text
Abstract:
Comment une figure antique comme celle de Psyché a-t-elle su trouver une place dans les littératures de langue anglaise? La réponse est multiple car les auteurs anglophones ont multiplié les approches, mais souvent en rapport avec la notion d'idéal. En effet, au fil des siècles, le mythe de Psyché s’est peu à peu inscrit dans une tradition idéaliste faisant de cette déesse une figure à la fois idéalisée, et à laquelle on a fait correspondre différents idéaux. Mais à l’inverse, Psyché a aussi vu son image être ternie. De nombreux auteurs ont voulu rompre avec la tradition idéaliste en cherchant à détourner l’histoire. Cette lecture nouvelle est souvent fondée sur une décomposition physique et morale du personnage. Cette dégradation lui permet alors de s’extraire du carcan que lui imposaient ses formes trop idéalisées, et d’investir de nouveaux champs littéraires plus modernes, dans des versions anti-idéalisées de ses aventures et de son mariage avec Cupidon
How did an antique character such as Psyche, with a Mediterranean background, find a place within English-language literatures? English-writing authors have in fact multiplied the ways in which they have approached and ceaselessly reinvented the myth, generally around the notion of ideal. Indeed, throughout the centuries, the myth gradually brought about an idealistic tradition whereby this goddess became a figure both idealised and which was made to fit into various ideals.But conversely, Psyche also had this perfect image tarnished. Many writers decided to part with this idealistic tradition, looking for ways in which to distort the story. This rewriting is often based on a physical and moral decomposition of the character. This degradation thus releases her from her previous idealised and constraining forms, and enables her to enter new literary and modern fields, with anti-idealised versions of both her adventures and her marriage to Cupid

Abstract:
Lire la poésie de Pétrarque sous l'angle de la métamorphose est en soi une approche originale, d’autant plus que la métamorphose s'y présente sous de multiples formes : élément narratif explicite, transformation implicite par la métaphore, allusion à des mythes ovidiens, mutatio extérieure et intérieure des personnages de la fabula lyrique autobiographique, transformation des textes et de la poétique de l'auteur au fil du passage du temps, lui-même métamorphosant. Cette thèse aborde la poétique de Pétrarque en-dehors des sentiers battus, en étudiant d'abord la tradition médiévale des commentaires allégoriques des trois mythes ovidiens, Daphné, Méduse, Narcisse, qui sont fondamentaux dans les Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, afin de déterminer ensuite les points de contact ou de divergence avec les poésies du livre. C’est également par une démarche nouvelle que ces trois mythes principaux, auxquels s'ajoutent des fables secondaires, sont appréhendés d’après la chronologie réelle de l'écriture et ses interférences avec la construction progressive du livre-canzoniere. La thématique métamorphique d’ascendance ovidienne est ainsi confrontée à la problématique de la mutatio animi augustinienne. Enfin, la double présence des mythes métamorphiques et de la métamorphose comme réécriture, autobiographique ou métapoétique, est élargie aux Triomphes et à la poésie latine (Epystole, Africa, Bucolicum Carmen), jamais étudiés dans cette perspective
Reading Petrarch's poetry from the angle of metamorphosis is in itself an original approach, all the more since metamorphosis takes there many different forms : a narrative explicit component, implicit transformation by metaphor, allusion to ovidian myths, external and internal mutatio of the characters of the lyric and autobiographical fabula, transformation of the texts and the author's poetics with the passing of time, which has itself a metamorphosing action. This thesis approaches Petrarch's poetics geting off the beaten paths, by studying first the medieval tradition of allegorical commentaries, particularly those concerning three ovidian myths, Daphne, Medusa, Narcissus, which are fundamental in the Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, with the purpose to determine then common features and divergences with the poems of the book. These three main myths, completed by secondary fables, are also studied by means of a new method, that is according to the chronology of writing and its implications with the progressive construction of the canzoniere. The metamorphic theme, of ovidian origin, is in this way confronted to the problematic of the augustinian mutatio animi. Lastly, the double presence of metamorphic myths and of metamorphosis as rewriting, autobiographical or metapoetical, is extended to the Triumphs and to latin poetry (Epystole, Africa, Bucolicum Carmen), never analysed from that viewpoint

Abstract:
Le présent travail, intitulé « Figures et voiles de Calypso : écrire dans le silence d’Homère », étudie le mythe littéraire de Calypso. Sa première partie, « L’impossible rencontre de l’autre », analyse l’impossibilité de la cohabitation entre Calypso et Ulysse, telle qu’elle se déploie dans L’Odyssée d’Homère. Calypso est simultanément la figure de l’autre et de l’étrange, du semblable et du familier. L’enjeu de l’hospitalité qu’est la proposition d’immortalité et de jeunesse éternelle nous invite à réfléchir sur le lien entre désir et métamorphose. En effet, le désir de Calypso de métamorphoser l’autre est condamné à l’impossibilité. C’est ce que nous déplions dans le cadre de la deuxième partie, « Le désir de l’autre et ses métamorphoses » qui s’intéresse à d’autres interprétations du mythe homérique de Calypso, à la lumière de la philosophie, de l’allégorie et de la littérature. Nous poursuivons le développement de la postérité littéraire de Calypso dans la troisième partie intitulée « Calypso multiple et altérité ambiguë », en étudiant Les Aventures de Télémaque de Louis Aragon, Le Télémaque travesti, un roman de jeunesse de Marivaux, ainsi que Neuf nuits en compagnie de Calypso de l’écrivain tunisien Tahar Guiga, un texte qui fait occuper à ce personnage féminin longtemps marginalisé le devant de la scène. Ainsi, au terme de ce travail, l’impossibilité se transforme en possibilité
The present work, entitled "Calypso's figures and veils: writing in Homer's silence", studies the literary myth of Calypso. Its first part, "The Impossible Meeting of the Other", analyzes the impossibility of the coexistence between Calypso and Ulysses, as it unfolds in Homer's Odyssey. Calypso is simultaneously the figure of the other and the strange, the similar and the familiar. The hospitality issue of the proposal of immortality and eternal youth invites us to reflect on the link between desire and metamorphosis. Indeed, Calypso's desire to transform the other is doomed to impossibility. This is what we unfold in the second part, "The desire for the other and its metamorphoses" which is interested in other interpretations of the Homeric myth of Calypso, in the light of philosophy, allegory and literature. We continue the development of Calypso's literary posterity in the third part entitled “Multiple Calypso and Ambiguous Otherness”, by studying Les aventures de Télémaque by Louis Aragon, Le Télémaque travesti, a youth novel by Marivaux, as well as Neuf nuits en compagnie de Calypso by the Tunisian writer Tahar Guiga, a text that keeps this female character, long marginalized, in the spotlight. Thus, at the end of this work, impossibility turns into possibility

Full text
Abstract:
L’Ovide moralisé représente la première traduction française des Métamorphoses d’Ovide. Son auteur anonyme a également moralisé la matière ovidienne, en l’agrémentant d’allégories qui s’appuient sur les quatre sens de l’Écriture. Le texte nous est parvenu dans une vingtaine de témoins, composés entre le début du XIVe siècle et la fin du XVe siècle. Nous distinguons,parmi les copies tardives de l’Ovide moralisé, un groupe spécifique et homogène, appelé Z dans le stemma. Il est formé des codices : Berne, Burgerbibliothek, 10 (Z1) écrit après 1456 ; Paris, BnF, français 874 (Z2) copié en 1456 ; Paris, BnF, français 870 (Z3) composé autour de 1400 pour le texte et 1450 pour le décor ; Paris, BnF, français 19121 (Z4) probablement réalisé entre 1390 et 1410. Ces quatre manuscrits présentent une véritable réécriture du texte « original » : le remanieur modifie parfois le récit de la fable, ajoute des expositions historiques qu’on ne lit pas dans les autres copies et exprime une nouvelle conception des Métamorphoses. Malgré ces points communs, les témoins Z3 et Z4 sont dépourvus d’allégories religieuses, alors que ces dernières ont été réintroduites dans Z1 et Z2.Notre édition critique se base sur le témoin Z3. Elle s’accompagne d’une étude linguistique, dialectale et métrique, d’un examen des sources, d’un glossaire et d’un index mythologique. Une étude codicologique aide en outre à cerner à quel lectorat sont destinées ces versions — avec ou sans allégories religieuses — pour mieux comprendre les différentes nuances de la vie intellectuelle et culturelle du début du XVe siècle.D’autre part, le commentaire littéraire rend compte de l’originalité de ce remaniement, d’un point de vue esthétique, éthique mais aussi ontologique. Le remanieur reconstruit en profondeur le texte de façon à évacuer toute trace du dogme chrétien. Il insiste sur des thématiques qui préoccupent son époque, impose sa propre conception de l’amour et de la femme, et prendsubtilement la place du premier auteur. Sa réécriture de l’Ovide moralisé traduit les goûts d’un certain lectorat en même temps qu’elle interroge le type de vérité — spirituelle ou uniquement concrète — qu’on peut accorder aux fables païennes. Cet ouvrage tente donc d’affiner notre connaissance des intérêts littéraires du XVe siècle et de la vision du monde dont ils rendent compte
The Ovide moralisé is the first French translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. After each narration, the unknown author of the text offers a moralisation by giving allegories based on the four meanings of the Scripture. This text has been brought to us by almost twenty manuscripts, composed between the beginning of the 14th century and the end of the 15th century. A group among these manuscripts remarkably stands out: the group called Z in the stemma. It contains the followings codices: Berne, Burgerbibliothek, 10 (Z1) written after 1456; Paris, BnF, français 874 (Z2) produced in 1456; Paris, BnF, français 870 (Z3) composed around 1400 for the text and 1450 for the drawings; Paris, BnF, français 19121 (Z4) probably copied between 1390 and 1410. These four manuscripts present a real rewriting of the so called ‘original’ text. The new writer sometimes changes the narration of the fable, adds historical explanations and expresses a new conception of the Metamorphoses. The four manuscripts include all these changings, but Z3 and Z4 do not contain the religious and spiritual allegories, while these allegories have been reintroduced in Z1 and Z2.Our critical edition is based on Z3. It offers a linguistic, dialectical and metric study, an observation upon sources of the text, a glossary and an index. Our codicological work also helps to figure out who can read these manuscripts—with or without Christians allegories—and to understand the various shades of the intellectual and cultural life in the 15th century.Our literary commentary reveals the originality of this rewriting, in the esthetical, ethical and ontological ways. The rewriter rebuilds the text in order to expel the marks of spirituality. He insists on contemporarily appealing themes, proclaims his own opinion about love and women and tries to replace the ‘original’ author. Thus, his rewriting conveys the interests of a certain readership while it examines the kind of truth—concrete or spiritual—that can be accorded to the pagan narration of the Metamorphoses. Consequently, our work tries to sharpen our knowledge of the literary interests of the 15th readerships

This study aims to examine and investigate the relationship between the environmental impacts and the metamorphosis of totem in Shan-Hai Ching. Furthermore, by deconstructing one of the most significant totems among the Hua-Hsia (a.k.a. Hua-Xia) culture and civilization—dragon—with regards to its transformations and variations, I will analyze this totem and explore the meaning of its components. At the same time, I will practice the concept and aesthetic inspired by the Dragon totem and its metamorphosis with a costume design project. This project consists of four series: 1) cape and coat; 2) armor; 3)hemispherical dome; and 4) theatrical impressions (which is an artwork on paper).   My costume design project is aimed to experiment with the texture of fabrics, and the outcome of which is meant to address the marks developed through the processes of metamorphosis and to emphasize such expressions driven by the conversion of meaning. For examples, in order to delineate the pristine texture of cave paintings, I apply tie-dying technique paired with discharge printing, in the meanwhile with the assistance of laser engraving. In addition, I also intend to create the relief texture of embossment through the garment structures and patterns, as well as the handcraft skills. By doing so, I endeavor to convert the plane surface to a three-dimensional structure, which embodies my understanding of the transformation of the meaning carried by the metamorphosis of the totem. The process reflects a step-by-step transitional progress of my costume design philosophy with this project, from the flat plane, and then a relief solid, and finally to a three-dimensional structure.   Shan-Hai Ching is a classic and a prototype of Chinese mythology on metamorphosis. With detailed descriptions, it is also a fabulous geographical and cultural account of ethnicity, medicines, plants, animals, minerals, geological features, religions, and so on. It is also considered an important reference to the field of Chinese history. I argue that, the perspective of metamorphosis epitomized by Shan Hai Ching, is the portraiture of the totem worship phenomenon that is developed from the relationship between the given geographical environments and the living of the people there and then. In other words, the logic of metamorphosis mythology illustrated in Shan Hai Ching is shaped by the philosophy regarding the harmonious coexistence of nature, people, and also species. My costume project is designed to reflect such argument—by combining Western techniques and Oriental aesthetics, I attempt to unfold the toughness of Hua-Hsia civilization with the texture of fabrics, and also to inscribe the depth of history to the details of pattern.

Abstract:
This paper examines the role of the ability to speak in Ovid's construction of identity within the Metamorphoses . As various scholars have recognized, metamorphosis in Ovid is closely connected with the issue of identity. An important aspect of identity in Metamorphoses is the linguistic ability of its characters. Ovid's manipulation of his characters' linguistic ability and, in particular, of their loss of speech adds meaning to what it is to be metamorphosed in Ovid's chef d'oeurve . Throughout the work, Ovid consistently portrays the metamorphosized human characters as changed due to their lack of linguistic ability. Since the ability was seen as an aspect strictly reserved for humans, the loss of such ability led to the dehumanization, or metamorphosis, of the character. In the stories of Lycaon, Acteon, Philomela, Echo, Io, et al., Ovid takes each characters ability to speak from them as they mutate into their changed shape. The mens of each is intact; however, they are unable to speak and, thus, are unable to communicate with humanity. This lack of connection to humanity results in the loss of the ability to express identity or, in fact, to have identity. To explore the role of speech loss in construction of identity, this paper analyzes Ovid's depiction of humans metamorphosed through the lens of modern socio-linguistic theory. The theory of performative utterance first introduced by J.L. Austin and then refined by many other scholars, most notably John Searle, provides an interestingly fresh prism through which to examine Ovid's construction of identity. In addition, if one includes the literary-philosophical ideas of the 20th century scholar Walter Benjamin into the mix, the picture is refined further. To these scholars, if one could not speak, one could not be. Words are not a simple means by which one can communicate. Instead, they form the ability to do within a society, thereby describing one's ability to become a part of humanity. By stripping the metamorphosed of their ability to be and, consequently, the ability to do something human, Ovid removes their human identity. Moreover, by looking at such narrative technique through the kaleidoscope of Benjamin, Austin, and Searle, this paper hopes to open doors to the discussion of how Ovid saw his own identity. As a poet, the power of speech was paramount to him and because of such speech, Ovid could be spoken of amongst humanity (ore legar populi), a concept later picked up by Martial (3.95,7 and 8.3,7). Could this power have led Ovid to see a heightened identity for himself as well, a melior pars that might possibly give him precedence over the rest of mankind, or possibly over Augustus himself? Or, in the words of 18th century German poet Heinrich Heine, "Don't belittle the poets, they can flash and thunder, they are more fierce than the bolt of Jove, which, after all, they created for him."

Abstract:
Ce travail construit une dantologie transcendantale fondée sur la fécondité et la légitimité du commentarisme français tout au long du dix-neuvième siècle. Le nom et l’œuvre de Dante progressent dans la vie de l’esprit et de la culture après la sidération de la Révolution, avec la naissance, l’apogée, le déclin et les suites métamorphosées du Romantisme. Un amour soumis à la loi de la divisibilité de quelques fragments de la Divine Comédie se transforme graduellement en une première dantologie. Des figures archétypiques issues de domaines hétérogènes donnent une armature conceptuelle et poétique à cette double spirale entrecroisée : la lecture des textes de Dante éclairée par la critique contemporaine ; et la compréhension des morphologies divergentes du Romantisme en la diversité de ses moments. Dante est un penseur de l’histoire, des enjeux politiques, du christianisme jusqu’en ses limites internes et externes, du fait initiatique, de la différence sexuelle dans laquelle UN POETE SE TRANSHUMANISE PARCE QU’IL EST AIME PAR BEATRICE APRES AVOIR ETE GUIDE PAR VIRGILE. Chateaubriand, Balzac, Nerval et Hugo sont les parangons d’une lecture tournée vers un usage libre, infidèle mais hautement créateur. Fauriel, Ozanam et Aroux représentent la volonté d’une critique raisonnée de la doctrine philosophique et théologique dantesque. Dante et son œuvre s’inscrivent au cœur des mille agitations d’un dix-neuvième siècle qui reconfigure la France et l’Europe. La rémanence de l’espérance du voyageur cherchant à revoir les étoiles et à contempler la Trinité influence les réminiscences du progressisme plurivoque. La figure d’airain du poète acrimonieux et vengeur accompagne les esprits désenchantés. Celui qui devient l’égal des dieux après avoir affronté une Dame qui tue autant qu’elle ennoblit inspire les mystiques et ceux qui cherchent une nouvelle spiritualité. Le chantre de la foi, revenu dans le giron de l’Église après la conversion de son amour, réchauffe les catholiques. L’homme qui dédouble les pouvoirs comme les soleils de Rome devient un interlocuteur privilégié après l’Empire. Nous ne cherchons pas une liste exhaustive, thématique ou chronologique, notionnelle ou par auteur. À travers des exemples ayant valeur de paradigmes, nous montrons comment cette union de connaissance et d’usage créateur construit des FIGURES de Dante qui entrent en écho avec les inquiétudes et les espérances, les attentes et les angoisses, du Romantisme. Alors Dante et son « Poème Sacré » ne sont plus seulement des occasions de références. Ils deviennent un MYTHE au cœur du rapport entre mystique religieuse et initiation par l’Éternel-Féminin, engagement dans l’histoire et culte de la Beauté, aspiration à un sursaut régénérateur du monde et conscience amère du tragique de la scission entre l’Idéal et le Réel, mythe du Tombeau et promesse d’élévation spirituelle. Parmi les voies possibles, NOUS DEFENDONS UN DANTE SE VOUANT AU CULTE INITIATIQUE DES TOMBEAUX ET DES « DAMES QUI ONT L’INTELLECT D’AMOUR. » Il appartient à un catholicisme élargi, dilaté – le catholicisme transcendantal de Maistre qui assume son ésotérisme arcane fondé sur la polysémie des textes et la liberté accordée par Dante au commentaire. L’auteur de la Divine Comédie s’inscrit dans un Romantisme de plus en plus sombre, antimoderne, à la fois POUVOIR D’ANAMNESE D’UNE GRANDEUR ABOLIE ET PROPHETE D’UN MONDE EN GERMINATION, qui reprend ses thèmes : les questions de la laïcité, de la langue pour le peuple contre celle des dieux, de l’aspiration à l’idéal et à la communication du visible et de l’invisible, de la puissance métaphysique de la Dame. Notre Dante est celui qui doit choisir « l’autre voie », celle de la catabase nécessaire avant l’anabase ; et qui doit faire preuve de la plus grande piété envers les ombres. Alors ce Dante et ce Romantisme « ne descendent pas sans raison dans l’abîme » : ils y trouvent, notamment par la puissance de la parole, la promesse de l’Esprit
This work builds a transcendental dantology based on a leibnizian paradigm of a perennial philosophy. Dante's name and work get on gradually in the life of spirit and French culture, after the astonishment of the Revolution, with the birth, the apogee, the decline and the transformed sequels of Romanticism. One love submitted to the rule of divisibility in direction of some fragments of the Divine Comedy turns into a first dantology. Archetypal figures coming from heterogeneous domains provide a conceptual and poetical framework at this double-crossed spiral: the reading of Dante's texts enlightened by present-day criticism; and the understanding of the divergent morphologies of the various moments of Romanticism. Dante appears as a thinker of history, political stakes, Christianism even in his internal and external limits, initiatory fact, sexual difference in which A POET BECOMES TRANSHUMAN THANKS TO BEATRICE'S LOVE AND VIRGIL'S GUIDING. Chateaubriand, Balzac, Nerval and Hugo are the paragons of a reading going to a free use, inaccurate but highly creative. Fauriel, Ozanam and Aroux represent the quest of a reasoned criticism of the philosophical and theological dantean doctrine. Dante and his work got included in the heart of thousands occasions of unrest of a nineteenth century that reconfigure France and Europe. The persistence of the hope of a traveller attempting to see once more the stars and contemplate the Trinity influence the reminiscences of progressivism in many aspects. The brazen figure of an acrimonious and revengeful poet goes with disenchanted minds. The one that becomes a companion of the other gods after struggling with an ennobling and killing Lady inspire the mystics and those who look for a new spirituality. The faith apologist, once he has got back into the bosom of the Church thanks to the conversion of his love, warms up the Catholics. The man who divides into two the powers as the suns of Rome turns to a favoured speaker after the Empire. We don't look for an exhaustive, thematical, notional, chronological or nominal list. But, through examples as paradigms, it's shown how that union between knowledge and creative use builds, in less than a century, some figures of Dante that echo with the concerns and hopes, expectations and anguishes, of Romanticism. In this way Dante and his "Sacred Poem" aren't reductive to citations occasions. They become a myth at the heart of the relation between religious mystic and initiation thanks to the Eternal-Feminine, commitment in history and cult of Beauty, craving for a world-wide regenerative burst and being aware of the tragic scission between Ideal and Real, myth of the Tomb and promise of spiritual elevation. Among the various possibilities, WE DEFEND A DANTE DEVOTED TO THE INITIATORY CULT OF THE SEPULCHRE AND THE "LADIES WHO GOT THE INTELLECT OF LOVE." He belongs to a broadened, dilated Catholicism - the transcendental Catholicism by Maistre, that takes on his Arcanum esotericism based on the polysemy of the texts and the freedom granted by Dante to the commentary. The author of the Divine Comedy takes place in a more and more gloomy, antimodernist, Romanticism; BOTH THE ANAMNESIS POWER OF AN ABOLISHED GREATNESS AND THE PROPHET FOR WORLD IN GERMINATION that picks his themes up again: questions of laicity, popular language in front of the gods 'one, aspiration at the Ideal and at the link between visible and invisible, metaphysical power of the Lady. Our Dante is the one who has to take care of "the other path", the catabasis before the anabases; and who has to show up the highest devotion toward the shadows. Then, this Dante and this Romanticism don't journey to the "deep randomly": here they find, in particular thanks to the power of Speech, the promise of the Spirit
