Dancourt, Michèle. "Dédale et Icare : situation du mythe dans la culture européenne." Paris 3, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA030137.
Full textThis myth, in spite of its seeming dispersion, follows the vectors of european culture throwing light onto one focal point, the status of art. If we examine the history of this myth, we ses emerging on either side of the craftsman daedalus his two sons who are to evolve into artist figures themeselves : icarus in the nineteenth century in search of the absolute but destinde to fall and the minoteur in the twentieth century, the dark sacrificial side of the demiurge. European culture had long since occulted the father (the craftsman himself is virtually absent from any pictorial representation) and yet showed a marked fascination for the son icarus, whose hubristic tendancy makes him stand out from the mass of imagery all the more so since both inconic and written representation mirror each other. Paradoxically artists abandon him at a critical moment when, symbolising both the triumph of aeronautics and the failure of the quest for the sublime, he would seem to incarnate the divoprce betwwen art and technology. Icarus was to become a common place figure in interpretations which, breaking with tradition, were burlesque. Reading through the different interpretations of this myth, one can perceive a stable scenario which is richly symbolic and centres on the demiurge linking both father-son rivality and the creation of a fetishistic name; feminity is cast aside and creativity verges on destruction. The other common features of the myth open up a vivid, ambiguous imaginary wolrd

Full textPrometheus has much in common with others civilizers. They are all characterized by ambivalence, a cunning intelligence directed toward concrete achievements and by magical powers. Prometheus has an ability to predict the future which occupies an important place in his story. Hephaistos has a special status among the civilizers: he is the only "professional" craftsman of olympus. Moreover he has the most extensive magical powers. Having dealt with these common characteristics, it remains to be seen in what respects prometheus differs fundamentally from the others civilizers: by his status in the divine world, by the nature of his gifts which carry unfortunate consequences for him and his proteges: the withdrawal of the fire, the appearance of pandora, replica of the promethean creation. He is punished for the transgression of a law which requires that both mortals and immortals stay in their own places. Finally he is distinguished by his role as the creator of humanity. This episode underlines his limitations: the participation of athena who breathes life into statues, the stupid intervention of epimetheus, the story of the pious deucalion show that titan's actions are motivated by "hubris" and are thus destined in advance to fail
Delattre, Charles. "Les figures de Minos dans l'imaginaire antique : thalassocrate, législateur, juge infernal." Paris 10, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA100123.
Full textMinos, mythical sovereign of Crete, is depicted in Greek and Latin texts from the fifth century B. C. E. Up through the Middle Ages as both a man of action and, in three particular instances, as a fixed character. He is generally associated with a short predicate as well as a limited number of invariable characteristics. This structure, in contradistinction to that of a myth, not only serves to organize the imaginary landscape surrounding Minos but also gives rise to theoretical reflection in a particular field. First of all, Minos is a thalassocrat: he has dominion over the sea. From Herodotus and Thucydides onward, stories about Minosthalassocrat enable us to study the means of conquering territory in the Aegean area from a geostrategic point of view and give birth to a chronological history. Additionally, Minos is a legislator: he determines the laws of Crete. From Plato's Laws onward, stories about Minos elucidate the origin of the concept of law; the mechanisms thus put into place (divine inspiration, learning, and emulation) mold a political philosophy as well as a political geography, which serve to bind legislators among themselves. Finally, Minos is an infernal judge. From Plato's Gorgias onward, stories about judges in the underworld help us to represent that domain. As a result, a new ethic, one that takes into account personal responsibility and rejects retributive justice, provides the framework for eschatological thinking. Through the Septuagint, this ethic forms the cornerstone of the Last Judgment in Christianity. In the last two cases, Plato invokes verses from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey as a guarantee, in the process deforming their original meaning. These three representations of Minos are not connected, even though certain aspects of them are characteristic of mythical depictions of the sovereign and tyrant

Full textIn ancient Greek and Roman cultures, Scylla is a sea-monster that usually combines – albeit in manifold ways – features of a dog, a woman, and a fish. Through a close study of her representations in texts and images, this thesis analyses the fears that Scylla comes to embody in various sources as well as the metaphors that connect those fears and secure the coherence of her development across time and genres. In particular, it is argued that three models underlie many of Scylla's representations – the rapacious sea-monster, the sexually aggressive woman, and the bride-to-be – and that they all involve a narrow and potentially dangerous passage, be it the throat of a predator, the female genitals, or the transition into womanhood. By focusing on a specific figure of Greek and Roman mythology, the thesis sheds light on current theoretical debates including the relation between texts and images, the relevance of the notions of “myth” and “mythical figure,” and the role of gender in representations of monstrosity
Xanthouli, Paraskevi. "De la maternité à l’infanticide : la construction de la figure maternelle dans la mythologie grecque." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL195.
Full textThe main question that this thesis tries to answer is how the subject of maternity and, in general, parenthood is discussed and revealed through the Greek mythology and how we can, through this approach, pinpoint and explain the social status of women and maternity in the mythological value system. By using the category of “sex” in this subject’s approach, analysis and conclusions, the purpose of this thesis is to offer new possibilities to interpret and explain, regarding the abolishment of maternity and, generally, parenthood, the act of infanticide, but also the survival of the prοpatriachal system in the male-dominated religious belief of the Greek pantheon. The myths are being examined by taking into consideration their social, cultural and historical context in order to come to conclusions about each sex’s position in the public and private sector, about the roles of men and women in their private lives, about the relationships of power and submission between them, as well as the dominant value and perception system and, above all, about the representation of this system in the Greek mythology. In this sense, this thesis aims to be a contribution to the ongoing wider global effort to reintegrate women not only in a historical context but also in mythology

Full textThis thesis focuses on the persistence of classic models in French theatre in the period between the wars, especially on the re-elaborations of the Greek myth. The research has been structured in three parts. The first one traces the history of various plays inspired by the myth, that flourished in France between 1919 and 1944. The second part analyses texts concerning legendary characters, such as Electra, Oedipus, Medea, Antigone, Orpheus. It also tries to understand to what extent the authors in question (Sartre, Anouilh, Giraudoux, Cocteau, Gide, De Bouhélier, Fabre, Lenormand) re-appropriated the classical subject, and to measure the distance between their works and the original Greek models. Finally the third part brings together the findings of this work: the emergence of common traits between different attempts to recover Greek classic elements

Full textThe object of our study is jason and medeia in the greek and latin literature and in the sculpture. We have studied the documents where the two figures are present together, or only one of them, in an episode of the argonautic expedition. Those figurative documents date from the archaic period (specially the beginning of the vith c. B. C. ) up to iv th c. A. D. The descriptive catalogue is formed only of carved objects (imperial sarcophagi, urns, reliefs of diverse fonction) but in the part traiting the iconography we compare the carved material with all other document (ceramic, paintings, coins) representing the same episode. Jason appears in the art accompagnied by his comrades, or by medeia, but he is a pale, minor figure beside her, who because of her exotic origin and her excessive behavior she has during a long time inspired the artists (since the end of the vith c. B. C. ) and particularly because of the influence of the attic drama on the other arts

Full textFrom his very origin as a prehellenic god, hippolytus has all the elements of his future mythical personae but it is only once he is integrated into the theseus cycle by greek collective imagination that he acquires definite human features. Having inherited hippolytus' anthropomorphic profile, euripides resituates the myth in the context of the athenian city by reinterpreting adolescence as well as the religious functions of artemis and aphrodite within its social and ritual frame thus providing a mythical reference which overshadows all archaic sources. Seneca can therefore convey the myth to the west during the middle ages and baroque period by coloring it with stoicism and monotheistic thought which both have obvious affinities with early christianity as well as greek mysticism. Henceforth, phaedra must be the main tragic heroe since adolescence no longer has the same bearing. When the myth reappears in europe azs a literary myth, its perennial quality is ensured by the interaction between the ancient sources as they were understood and its adaptations. In his "phaedra", y. Ritsos juxtaposes all the phases of the myth, the literary and philosophic currents of europe today and his own style : the myth is reborn in greece

Full textMyths have always been subject to rewriting since Antiquity. However, the scale of their revival in the 20th century - two millennia after the Greek tragedies and three centuries after the French classics - leads every researcher to question themselves. Why the resurgence of the mythical fable in an ultra-modern historical-literary context? How is this rewriting carried out to meet the approval of a demanding public? Our work answers these questions by giving four interdependent reasons, each developed in a part of the thesis. The first concerns the familiar experience completed by school and academic education which can arouse in one or another writer a predilection for a specific literary subject depending on the cultural events which have marked his biography. The second part questions the influence of the historical context on literary creation. Considering that the period concerned by our study is marked by the violence of history, we establish a parallelism between the mythical universe often dominated by tragic scenes and the current events of the interwar period and the Occupation, which itself is one of the most tragic moments in European history. The third part focuses on the philosophical reasons for the return to ancient motifs. Apart from humanism, fatalism and existentialism, namely the dominant philosophical trends at this period, we show that Freudian discoveries exerted a remarkable influence on the revival of certain myths, especially that psychoanalysis relies on the latter to explain the formation of personality. The last reason which justifies the proliferation of works of mythical inspiration is artistic. The virtuosity of the writers complemented by the undisputed talent of the directors, notably those of the Cartel, allowed 20th century theater to shine, which created a favorable context for ancient theater
Castiglioni, Maria Paola. "La diffusion et la réception des mythes grecs dans l'espace illyrien antique entre Adriatique et Balkans." Grenoble 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007GRE29035.
Full textThis research, dedicated to the diffusion and the reception of Greek myths within the ancient Illyrian area, aims to analyse the main myths localized by the Greek and Latin literary sources in such region, authentic intermediary between the Adriatic sea and the Balkan territory. The exegesis of Cadmus' myth, of his metamorphosis into a snake, of his exile and of his Illyrian kingdom is the subject of the first part: the earthly dimension of such hero, his rooting in the Illyrian area and his reception by the natives are related to the historical context of the Greek frequentations with the Illyrian inland. In the second part, the Adriatic Illyrian area is analysed in the light of the Argonauts' myth of the Adriatic route, of the hyperborean offers and of the Diomedes’legend, the maritime hero of trans-adriatic exchanges, in order to determine a traffic's balance there occurred and of their Greek actors. Finally, a third and last part assembles, under the common denominator of the identities, several tales and mythical characters (homeward journeys of the Homeric heroes, the duel of Achilles with Memnon, the legend about Polyphemus, Heracles, Adrias and Ionios) used for the purpose to create some mythic genealogies at the service of the people and of the local dynasties, to promote the political propaganda or the possession of the colonial soil. So, through an anthropological approach and relating to the ideas of frontier history and of ethnicity, such study suggests a reading of the Greek presence in Illyria and of the dynamics caused by the contact between the Greeks and the natives within the Illyrian area

Full textThis comparative study bears on the plays written by jean giraudoux, la guerre de troie n'aura pas lieu (1935) and electre (1937), jean anouilh, tu etais si gentil quand tu etais petit ! (1969) as well as the dramatic monologues in yannis ritsos' poetic work, la quatrieme dimension (1975). The playwrights and poet increase the symbolic value of the classical myths of helen and clytemnestra through their innovating dynamic variants. The ambivalent figures of the twins are represented in the least familiar dimensions of their myths, offering each phase and age of female life and defending the values of the matriarchal religion which prevailed in pre-hellenic civilizations. As manifestations of a neolithic, almighty great goddess, those queens stand out in the literary imagination, bringing the legacy of their ancient religion : they abide by the laws of this supreme feminine deity whose main function of creation they fill. Helen's and clytemnestra's femininity is first analysed, whether it be sacralised or on the contrary demonized, leading to an interpretation of their love adventures. The second step of the study covers the manifestations of maternity, be it real or imaginary, even in its cosmic dimension. Lastly, the alliance established between the twins and the creatures in the universe is examined, as well as their wisdom and their privileged links with the supernatural. Those epicurean women elude any notion of morality, and illustrate both the benevolence and monstruosity of a sacred femininity

Full textWith the development of the human history, the exchange of various nations' civilization is strenthened, which indicates a trend of fusion. However, we should realize that the difference of various nations' civilization will exist for a long time. The characteristic of the Chinese and the western culture were taken in shape on the initial stage of them during the pre-Qin and the ancient Greek period, displaying in their products - the myths and the legend. We compare the difference and the similarity of the values which the Greek myth reflects and the values which the pre-Qin reflects. We conclude that the essential characteristic of Greek myth is primacy of deities, advocacy for fight and contention, the essential characteristic of pre-Qin myth is primacy of people, advocacy for peace and harmony. The basic difference between the Western culture and the Chinese culture is that the former advocates contention while the later advocates harmony. Therafter we analyze the reasons which lead to the difference and the similarity of the two myths in the viewpoint of social history practice

Full textA project, contributing to an anthropology of wine in the city. At the source, there is Heracles at Pholos's the centaur around a jar of wine. The distance between the vine and the wine and the ways wine enters into the city are established. In Athens, Dionysus’s festivals have a political dimension, links are developing between drunkenness, pleasure and politics. At the origins of the win, the city, the wine is everybody's concern, women and men. Some complementary and anthetical relations are developing between Dionysus and Heracles. The representations of them drinking show Heracles as an antisocial drinker. With Heracles, it is the conviviality of wine which is underlined. Dionysus carries out a "refoundation" of the centaur's society with the jar. Around a common center and a common sense, their society develops a sphere of politics opposed to the one formed in the city. The political commitment of the wine and of Dionysus becomes clear. The city needs the centaurs to master the possible deleterious effects of the wine. The images prove it. The reconstruction of the symbolical function of the ritual of wine and the role of the different participants are possible. From the pithoigia in the city to the one in "centauria", the wine and Dionysus spread out, rooted in the political sphere. The city reveals itself as much in its fringes as in its centre, wine is an effective operator
Desmoulin, Jean-Pierre. "Hestia : du mythe au complexe : la pensée du genre dans les cultures méditerranéennes." Paris 5, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA05H006.
Full textAbout the Mediterranean, the scope and subject of much anthropological research, many myths have been born and developed. All "talk" about social organisation. Under a functional form we name here as the "complex of Hestia", the Greek myth of Hestia can represent the characteristics of the social organisations, which have developed or remain in this South Mediterranean cultural arena. It is an olympian myth which uses deified symbolism that exposes the man-woman relation. The changes in society, lead the need to challenge the foundations of the conception of human nature. An essentialist anthropologic vision of man and woman, conflicts with a constructivist vision. The latter questioning the religious and metaphysical origins of societies which allow changes to social representation, roles and status. An "ontological rupture" in the concept of man and woman has developed. All of the social organisations were built on this opposition which can conceal a mimetic struggle for power in the dominant-dominated dialectic. A "world order", which we have inherited and still see today, has taken place by organising the relationships between the sexes. The gender being the sexed social. In ancient society, the ontological concept of the difference between men and women installed inequality whereas in modern society equality drives, or should drive, their differences. Equality would, on the face of it, conceal an "exchange with women" in a "deal" institutional power-strength. This concept of difference, defined as essence between man and woman, denies history as human production, whereas differentiation is a process of mental and social human activities. The sexed social identity, the gender is therefore a construction more than a support to some cultural models or archetypes

Full textWhy did the greek men of the cities welcome dionysus, the stranger, and allow the community of women, in particular their wives, possessed by mania, to worship him? we will here analyse, by way of a study of rituals, myths and tragedies, different representations of women : female warriors and hunters, identified with men, animal-like women, untamed fillies, murderous mothers run amok. This figure, the most threatening of all, echoes, for us, the "all-brothers", born of earth, as if it were an otherness subversive of the "myth of one" citizen that denies the existence of a relation between sexes. This recurrent act of murder reveals a particular feminine "jouissance", while unveiling the sacrifice concealed beneath the murder of the son. Dionysus is, then, the one who purifies, acting through women, good wives, mothers. Beyond pleas ure, dionysiac mania is sign of death for all the humans. This leads us to draw an anology between orphism and maenadism

Full textThis research proposes an analysis of the european macro-text of theatre, which began in the 20th century and whoch deals with the deeds of the Atrides' descendants, in particular Electra and Oreste, as well as they ahve been presented in the rewriting of the three Greek playwrights. Works like Oresteia by Aeschylus and Electra by Sophocles and by Euripides have encouraged several rewritings during the centuries and they have always represented a new challenge of interpretation for the writers who tried to deal with them. During the last century some authors like Hoffmansthal, Sartre, Yourcenar, Pasolini, and so on, coped with this tradition, offering an example of the reception of a classical text in a modern age. In this way, they showed how the universal aspects of some works may convey new ideas, which the different authors were very fond of and which were related to the socio-cultural context where they lived. Research is not associated with myth, anthropology and psychoanalysis, but its concerns literary criticism and it is based on an inter-textual approach to the analyzed works. If we want to mention "myth", we can only refer to literary myth: it indicates a cultural core made of all texts which grow up from a common model according to some "genetic paths" related to literary creation. By highlighting and motivating, the differences from a hypo-text,we hope to contribute to a helpful and effective reading of some works, considered as part of the axiological codes of the cultures which produced them, but which could not be explained without considering the model which inspired and influenced them

Full textThe moon in the ancient Greek world is a problematic topic, for which there is no single, homogeneous definition. Nevertheless, the focus on visualness that we have chosen for our study, allows us to make out some elements of consistency and to account both for the existence of Selene as a divine figure making herself manifest in the visible world by appearing and disappearing, and for the tale of Endymion, the moon-goddess’ lover, and of his eternal sleep. Our work is divided in four parts: we first focus on the light of the moon and the visions it summons, as well as the representation of lunar eclipses; secondly, on Selene and her way of acting as a visible goddess and as a celestial eye; thirdly, on Endymion and the textual and iconographic representations of his sleep, which allows us to deal with the question of dreaming; fourthly, on the moon as a mirror and a source of reflections (eidola). The perspective that we choose to adopt is inspired by the methods of historical anthropology. We aim to shed light on structures and relations, relying on the analysis of various sources in context within a vast corpus extending from the archaic period to the end of the Roman Empire. Our goal is not to define a general “lunar mythology”, but rather to examine what the definition of the moon as a visual object might reveal

Therefore the first object of this thesis will be to try and understand why contemporary playwrights keep studying the myths of Electra and Iphigenia and how those legends are made perennial. Secondly it will deal with the way creators depict those protagonists descended from ancient times. And ultimately it will consider the distinctive features of the tragedy born of those characters - which are at the same time faithful to their Greek models and different from their predecessors. It is a tragedy that modern authors have "acclimatized" by enhancing the part of pathos and nonsense, two tonalities that give their plays an original resonance and counterbalance the tragic elements

Full textThis work aims to give María Xosé Queizán its rightful place as a theorist of feminism as a writer and Galician feminist. The socio-cultural construction of "being woman" is analyzed here through his speech, since the years after the Spanish Civil War, to today's society. The myth of Antigone appeared to us as the myth that comes to Queizán, the birth of feminism in Galicia long identified with Penelope. Transmission of patriarchal values through women who honor the system blindly, as opposed to the spirit of freedom of Antigone is a constant in her novels. The darkness in the formation and development of the domestic work of women is ensuring the survival of patriarchy. But in counterpoint, one can follow individual strategies of heroines around obstacles and sometimes become marginalized and lose, sometimes win and live their freedom
Revol-Marzouk, Lise. "Le sphinx, de l'Antiquité au Romantisme : étude sur la constitution d'un mythe poétique." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040171.
Full textThis work studies the emergence, from Antiquity to Romanticism, of a literary myth of the sphinx, resulting from the formal and symbolic convergence of two homonymous figures: the Egyptian sphinx, holy monument, on the one hand ; the Greek sphinx, legendary monster, on the other. Originally distinct, these figures have merged progressively into a metapoetic reflection on the literary depiction of the universal enigma. The sphinx, in its syncretic form, thus becomes the emblem of a symbolic idea of the universe and the book, both hieroglyphics to be deciphered by some Oedipal exegete. The ambivalence of the sphinx, the visible representation at Giza or the hidden mythem of the Theban story, leads to two different portrayals : the allegory, which, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, explicitly illustrates the symbolic meaning of the sphinx ; the myth, which, during the romantic period, hides it in the text's metaphorical framework, as a poetical enigma

Full textThis study examines the presence of the Ulysses myth in Modern Greek poetry of the 20th century. It contains a thematic comparison of different motifs of the myth, as told in the Odyssey of Homer. The main methodology used for this study is based on the theories of intertextuality. Various rearrangements and reinterpretations of the myth, concerning either the personalities of the mythical figures or certain events of the epopee, are examined and analysed in the present thesis. The Ulysses myth has interested many authors all over the world including a considerable number of Greek authors. During the last century, recourse to the ancient myths has been proven very important, and, together with the political events in Greece and the literary movements, offers a rich study material. The Greek poets –cosmopolites, traditional bourgeoisie, communists, surrealists etc. – have treated the myth each by emphasising the aspect that seemed most important according to his ideology and poetics. Thus, we have attempted to perceive the evolution of the Ulysses myth in parallel with the history of Greece over last century
Olender, Maurice. "Priape et Baubô : sur deux formes extrêmes de la sexualité chez les anciens." Paris, EHESS, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990EHES0013.
Full textPriapus was an ithyphallic deity of ancient greece and rome. He is known mainly as the god of roman gardens. In guarding his little gardens, as well as in amorous adventures, he is often ineffactuel. Baubo figures in the myth of the anciens greek goddess demeter as the perpetrator of an obscene spectacle that causes the goddess to laugh and that marks the end of her long period of mourning. The "baubo of priens" merge the head, the belly, and the female sexual organ, with the genitale immediately below the mouth
Morou, Antigone. "Sophocle et Artaud : Pour une représentation contemporaine d'"Ajax"." Paris 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030097.
Full textInfluenced by the premier magico-religious greek thought (vi century:orphism, "greek shamanism"), sophocleu's universe is founded on the vision of the "the total man":the antithesis of the original principles, the ethic the tragic hero defends (cult of dead) and the tragic language affirm the presence of the myth in sophocleus. In ajax, the trajic hero becomes divine and he, as the orphic god dionysus, passes through passion from death to the restoration of the dionysiac body. Artaud's theatrical vision springs from the mythic sources: his actor, incarnation of the mythic hero, mediator of the conflicts, from a ritual space by his acting. Artaud evokes the greek thoght as well as sophocleus, especially in his ideas bout the body (orphic conceptions) and the culture (heraclitu's influence). His search follows the sophoclean mind in recreating the divine united body. So ajax could constitute a model of the theatre of cruelty : the trajic language and the acting from a ritual space, as artaud wanted to realise in his theater. Our project of direction proposes a space conbining the structures of the ancient greek theater and artaud's theater (the spectators are encircled by the action): the chorus could transform the space (according to his acting). The acting (voice and movement of the actors), the light and the sound would create a ritual space, exercing a "physical" role, as in artaud's theater
Pondepeyre, Marie-Thérèse. "Le personnage de Tirésias dans la littérature française et anglaise." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040074.
Full textThe literary lives of Tiresias multiplicity have shaped the complexity of the figure from homer's odyssey and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Maintaining the sacred order he comes as the wisest who declares a fearful truth, the self-knowledge. By his wisefull blindness, he shows to heroes their inordinate pride mirror and their self-blinding. All the mysterious primordial beginning symbolical schedule is engraved in his mythological androgynous dream. Even he instructs to Ulysses through infernal darkness his return to Ithaca, even he suggests his identity to Oedipus, he comes from the tragic conflictual dispute as a winner, in despite of his obscureness of oracle, of his divine gifts vanity. Incommunicableness gives the tragical paradox from his original nature. Only poetical mythic writing regards him as an omniscient voice, a creative consciousness and a collective memory. His dramatical character importance and his self-narrative allowed the permanence of the greek seer-philosopher since homer to sferis

Full textThis thesis proposes to treat the oedipus myth in his relations, first, with ancient egypt. It isolates, to achieve this purpose, the motives that, all along its travels in time and space, seemed to constitute his constant aspect. Secondly, it proposes to interrogate the greek antiquity, that evolutes, by some of its aspects, in the same orbit as the egyptian one, to bring at light the contribution linked to the athenian democraty ( of the fifth century ), of this social form, in the modification of this myth on both levels of form and contents. From myth to tragedy, a long way has been made that we tempt to analyse the socio-historical causes, linking ideology to unconscious. A study of myth survivals in his essentially egyptian form, despite the diverse confessional substitutions, is done then in the epic popular tradition and the marvellous stories of some ethnic groups that belong, in our point of view, to the same ideological univers ( bible, coran, the golden legend, the african short stories, the legend of antarah, the peasant egyptian folklore. On the other hand, some contemporary treatments of the myth in the theatre ( tragic and comic ) : the french one with ( vercors, gide, cocteau ) and the egyptian one with ( el-hakim, bakathir, ali salem, kamel salib, el-maghrabi, etc. ) will be finally analysed in the light of the relations mentioned before between literature and society, in the light also of the continuity-rupture, between the past, that is nearly exclusively greek this time, and the present

Full textFrom its first representations in the italian arts from the 15th century to the creation of the opera in florence ( around the end of the 16th century) and to the orfeo of monteverdi at the beginning of the 17th century, the figure of orpheus appears under various aspects : troubadour, " poeta theologus ", young greek hero, melancolic shepherd, sorrowful lover, son of apollo, poet. . . Between 1480 and 1520, the myth of orpheus takes up a crucial position in the visual arts. But it reaches a complex and sophisticated signification through humanist institutions as the accademia careggi founded in 1462, or, one century later, as the camerata bardi, gathering musicians and philosophers in florence. But orpheus'myth will achieve its full expression with monteverdi and his libret-tist striggio. Together, they give birth to a new musical form : the opera
Frontisi-Ducroux, Françoise. "Prosopon : valeurs grecques du masque et du visage." Paris, EHESS, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987EHESA002.
Full textThe greek language uses the same word -prosopon- for the mask and the face. This no- tion, "face open to the view", does not implies any hint of dissimulation. The proso- pon is exactly indentic with what it covers. As face, it is what caracterizes each individual; as mask, it is the only face of his bearer. It is from this single idea and not from the theatre mask that the evolution began which, by the way of the dra- matic character and the grammatical person, resulted in the occidental category of person. The myth of the medusa, prototype of the mask in greek iconography, confirm the link between the face and the glance. Tales and iconographic tradition put the perseus and the gorgo legend in the problemetic of the visible and the invisible. This face which the human eye cannot look at, but is represented everywhere is the paradigm of the picture of the invisible. The theme of the mirror, faithful duplicator of the model it reflects, but also creator of illusion and gate to the beyond, expoundsup to the myth of narcissus, the various facets of greek thinking about the reciprocity of glance and view, the relations between view and life, picture and death. The face of the mask god dionysus presents another aspect of the role of the face to face in the in- terplay of the same and the other which is essential in the greek man. The inquiry is round up by an analysis of the frontality in attic vase painting, and a report of the masquerade rituals associated with
Roussel, Debout Véronique. "Anthony Burgess et le mal dans earthly powers." Paris 10, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA100016.
Full textThe analysis of the title, first as it is, and second as anagrammatized, constitutes the starting-point of our investigation into Anthony Burgess'manichean world. A thorough study of the leading characters reveals a fundamental contradiction reflecting in one way or another interpretation of evil, again linked to his own contradictoriness. A. Burgess' confrontation of opposites and use of multiple technical device of writing make the reader more and more aware of the mobility of both men and ideas in the macrocosm, god and or the devil being their masters. Augustinism and pelagianism are the two theological conceptions that A. Burgess adopts to his fluctuating thinking in order to explain the origin and the manifestations of evil in the XXth. Century. Structuralism and freudism mostly help us unearth the odontological structure of the novel in our second part. A short survey through history and a. Burgess' earlier works gives an idea of the importance of dental symbolism and structure in his novels. . . Time, space and the characters are then studied in relation to dental pain so as to bring out the onto-odontological structure of earthly powers. References to traditional symbolism as well as burgess' own one, to mythology and literature help us highlight his art
