Abstract:

In 2014, as the number of survivors dwindles, the representation of their memory and testimony after they have gone becomes increasingly important. Although it is critical to discuss the historical facts of the atrocities of World War II, those facts often do not reach the personal experiences of many survivors, who can only express many of the details of their experiences through an expression of their memories through testimony. One such testimony is that of Wanda Bielecka, a survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. This practice-based research (consisting of a film and accompanyin

Abstract:

The original contribution of this thesis is the examination of the official construction of a post-apartheid foundation myth through the analysis of the dead body politics of five iconic South African women that spans the three presidencies that have defined South Africa’s democratic era. This thesis examines the death and funeral of Albertina Sisulu, the return and burial of Sara Baartman, and the commemoration of Charlotte Maxeke, Lilian Ngoyi, and Helen Joseph. Sisulu, Baartman, Maxeke, Ngoyi, and Joseph have been constructed as heroines and as foundational figures for the post-apartheid na

Abstract:

Hindu religious culture has a rich and long-standing performance tradition containing many genres and regional types that contribute significantly to an understanding of the living vitality of the religion. Because the field of religious studies has focused on texts, the assumption exists that these are primary, and performances based on them are mere enactments and therefore derivative. This thesis will challenge this common assumption by arguing that performances themselves can be constitutive events in which religious worldviews, social histories, and group and personal identities ar

Abstract:

Récusant à la fois les déterminismes naturels et les représentations d’un ordre politique ou moral, l’œuvre de Gary est marquée par une aspiration au dépassement des limites et par une posture de résistance. Face à la haine ou à la barbarie, elle défend les vertus de la dérision et le pouvoir de l’imaginaire et s’engage dans une double démarche de mise à distance et de réenchantement du monde. Nourrie par le traumatisme de la seconde Guerre Mondiale, elle soutient l’idée que l’humain est à réinventer, qu’il n’est pas une donnée préalable mais un fiction à construire, un idéal à atteindre.

O relacionamento conflitante entre irmãos é um constante leitmotiv, um foco de interesse que se desenvolve de diversas formas ao longo de todo primeiro livro da Bíblia Hebraica. Hatoum vai à narrativa bíblica, considerada matriz do pensamento ocidental e da memória cultural da Humanidade pelo impulso do seu tema, logo, ele não parte da Bíblia. Como, então, o autor brasi

Abstract:

Au cœur de la Haute-Savoie, entre janvier et mars 1944, un rassemblement d'hommes a lieu sur le Plateau des Glières. Sous les ordres du Lieutenant Tom Morel puis du capitaine Maurice Anjot, tous deux chasseurs alpins au 27eme BCA, ils ont pour mission de recevoir les parachutages d'armes dont les maquis du département ont besoin. Portés par la devise « Vivre Libre ou Mourir », les résistants mènent jusqu'à la fin mars 1944 contre les forces de Vichy puis de la Wehrmacht, un combat disproportionné. Si l'on ne peut parler de sacrifice, plus d'une centaine de maquisards y laissent leur vie. S'ens

Abstract:

Using the lives of impaired individuals catalogued in the Íslendingasögur as a narrative framework, this study examines medieval Scandinavian social views regarding impairment from the ninth to the thirteenth century. Beginning with the myths and legends of the eddic poetry and prose of Iceland, it investigates impairment in Norse pre-Christian belief; demonstrating how myth and memory informed medieval conceptualizations of the body. This thesis counters scholarly assumptions that the impaired were universally marginalized across medieval Europe. It argues that bodily difference, in the Norse

Abstract:

Dans une perspective toute à la fois poétique, rhétorique et juridique, ainsi que générique et intertextuelle, cette étude propose une réflexion sur la mémoire et la parole de l’héroïne ovidienne. Une lettre simple (Médée, Héroïde XII) et une lettre double (Acontius et Cydippe, Héroïdes XX-XXI) sont au cœur de notre recherche. Médée et Cydippe allient le souvenir de l’instant à la parole intime et nous invitent à illustrer la représentation de la femme qui surgit au sein de l’art poétique du pathos, puis à affirmer la légitimation de son statut juridique dans une vraisemblance historique, et à

This volume brings together twenty-eight papers from an International conference on attitudes towards the past and the creating of identities in Antiquity. The volume addresses many different approaches to these issues, spanning over many centuries, ranging in time from the Prehistoric periods to the Late Antiquity, and covering large areas, from Britain to Greece and Italy and to Asia Minor and Cyprus. The papers deal with several important problems, such as the use of tradition and memory in shaping an individual or a collective identity, continuity and/or change and the efforts to connect t

Abstract:

Enigmatique, poétique, fragmentaire, foisonnante, réitérative, l’œuvre de Pascal Quignard attire par son univers complexe composé de fiction, de vécu personnel, de récits fabuleux, d’érudition, de pensées philosophiques, dans lequel on rencontre des lieux qui constituent des ports d’attache et qui détiennent les secrets du temps. Ces lieux semblent structurer l’œuvre. L’auteur s’intéresse à l’esprit des lieux comme pour mieux souligner les liens invisibles et imaginaires qui se tissent entre l’homme, son territoire et son passé.

Abstract:

En réponse au traumatisme de la division nationale suscitée par la guerre civile et cristallisée pendant le franquisme, la figure d’Antigone resurgit avec force dans la dramaturgie espagnole. Le parcours de résistance de cette héroïne grecque devient, sous la plume des auteurs espagnols du XXème siècle, l’emblème de la « juste mémoire » (Ricœur, 2000). Partant de l’hypothèse que le corpus des Antigones espagnoles constitue un ensemble relevant d’une dynamique commune de relecture de l’histoire, cette thèse recherche, à travers un travail comparatif des structures et des symboliques, la cohéren

Against the backdrop of the Wa people’s frequent overseas interactions during the Kofun period, Okinoshima in the Genkai Sea became home for religious rituals, where sacred practices lasted for centuries and the contemporary belief of the three Munakata goddesses in Japanese mythology originated.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>The ‘loss of self’ trope is a pervasive shorthand for the prototypical process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the popular imagination. Turned into an effect of disease, the disappearance of the self accommodates a biomedical story of progressive deterioration and the further medicalization of AD, a process which has been storied as an organic pathology affecting the brain or, more recently, a matter of genetic calamity. This biomedical discourse of AD provides a generic framework for the disease and is reproduced in its illness narra
