Full textThe notion of Orphism was born on the eve of the World War II. Forged by Guillaume Apollinaire, it served him to describe a new and bold art of his friends, especially those concentrated around Robert Delaunay. However, the notion was already troublesome back then: ill-defined and unclear, it was used by the poet in a vague way. Since then, the controversies continue to mount and in a century that elapsed since the invention of the notion, everything concerning Orphism is questioned, even its very existence. Contesting this negationist approach, we propose in this thesis to analyze the artistic production and conceptions of this period under a new light. We are distancing ourselves from the traditional labels of “-isms” and we are using the Orpheus myth – as suggested by Apollinaire – as a tool which allows us to reanalyze the art from the beginning of the 20th century. This new analysis – of artists’ career paths, their fascinations, relationships between different artistic centers and between people involved in this avant-garde – and the comparative analysis of artworks serves to prove that what we call Orphism is not an artificial concept, applied in an arbitrary manner to the somewhat accidental and independent career paths of different artists. On the contrary, Orphism is a logical and consistent evolution, whose true importance and impact was never fully appreciated. By using the Orpheus myth as a guiding thread, we are bringing to light the main lines of the evolution of Orphism: the origins and interpretation of the notion and the conception, the historical and artistic context in which the movement was born and was evolving, the relationships between its actors, artists’ inspirations and, last but not least, the stylistic evolution of Orphism over the time

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

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 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 textBetween 540 and 490 B. -C. , two ‘Wide-Eyes’ around a nose, a figure or an object appear on 2225 attic vases. The search of their meanings gave us several theories: drunkenness prevention, established on cup as support the ‘mask-vase’, ‘the ‘face-vase’ or mirror, until theirs diversity just implicate an ornamental purely function. Though, as considering eye’s importance in ancient Greece and particularly his active nature, then the fact that approximately one third of the eyes-vases are kyathoi, skyphoi, mastoids, amphorae, craters, hydrias, oenochoes, and lekythoi, various thesis are largely blunt. First, contrasts and colourisations games of pattern insert perfectly in experimental background Keramic’s workshop during this period. Elsewhere, the eyes are revealed real operators, they are able to structure vase’s space, but also to product a particular impression. They insert, promote, hide or reveal. Mainly painted on vases connected with wine consumption during the Symposion, they escort drinker in his progression toward inebriation and lead him to experiment an emotion, is seen as liquefaction or a flight. Therefore, with the satyr figures, or maenad's, Dionysos's and Gorgô's, the eyes prepare the drinker to discover the Other in him, to feel ephemeral transformation. Located between identity and otherness, the eyes pattern is symptomatic of identity’s upheaval which precede the birth of Athens's democracy

The euthor's poems are a mixturs batween mythical subjects (orpheus and eurydice) and biblical subjects (christ, for example), with the interactions of ideas between them. The post adapts this classical myth to his literary needs. The presence and absence of the figure of orpheus in his poetry (either directly explicit, or by the principal intermediary of the themes of love, dath and new birth), are the demonstration of his vision of lifs and of his of his own personbal interests. Ambisuty reigms in certain parts of pierre emmanuel's work bacause this writer feels a duality within himself. Often, it is sussested not to look back back towards a pst which kills; but cur author, orpheus at the end of the day, has returned mors than once, he has to be continuallyu reborn, that is to say, to stop being the "cld" man in order to become the "new" man, by asking ourselvs if he can be classified as a christian poet or suncretic poet, we unmask the "faces" of a man who has prefered be called pierre emmanuel

Full textThe violence depicted on the vases is shown either by expressive models or by discreet and significant details. Different works representing one or more types of violence are many in the archaic and classical periods of Greek art. A choice was necessary and our research follows four lines: illustrations of monsters, the François Vase, depictions of the Ilioupersis and the cups illustrating the presentation of Achille's armour. The Greek artists constructed the image of violence. Some used very subtle constructions, That we have attempted to interpret, in order to reveal this essence of violence. These chosen constructions are sufficient to demonstrate the "artistic problem" they raise and attempt to solve. The representations studied here show a progression. Firstly, the archaic models of monsters convey the idea of masquerade. Then we detected a demonology connected with man's destiny leading to a "transubstantiation". But man's victory, apparently easily attained, remains much more difficult and complex. This is shown in the skill of the artists. If victory depends on the valour of the Greeks, it also often requires the help of the gods. They are frequently represented beside the warriors. But at times this divine presence has difficulty in prevailing. Depictions of women warriors emphasize a reading which questions this perpetual victory. Behind the warriors in combat can be discerned the combat of Athena and the Erinyes and possibly also that of the oi͏̈kos against the polis. Finally in the document we have studied, we have shown, beyond the order and harmony of the compositions, disorder and even chaos. In fact, in a quite contemporary manner, these representations introduce chaos into order

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 textAnthropomorphism of Greek religion poses the problem of iconographical codes and stylistic means use by artists in order to picture god's body lay out upon human cast, most of the time (but not only). From a classical way of visualizing Antiquity, become directly apparent categories of representation : aniconic god's images such as "uncouth stones" from Achaia and Arcadia, images of Hermes in this instance ; for the same god (also Dionysus) the pillar and manikin semi-iconic shapes, grouping of a geometric stay with a head, a mask, a phallus ; the latest becoming gigantic when it is Hermes or Dionysus' body ; properly teratologic; images of some gods and zoo/anthropomorphic hybridization phenomenon, hybridization and monstrosity concepts must not be confused (Eros or Nike are not monsters). Concerning the zoomorphic body of gods, the question of metamorphosis raises problematic bounds to the image's specificity (sculpture and painting) and that of the text. The ease and richness of poetry allows the body of the gods to be expressed in a more complex and analytic way and even to be pictured in the reader's mind, when the figurative arts represent this process only by means of a range of rather repetitive and hasty formulas. My searches proved that there is gods and gods. The great figures of Olympus grope to reach their canonical form, as much as the divine personalities less integrated into the pantheon show a more fluctuating body. Gods' body does not constitutes an homogenous and established unity. It is composed to fluctuations of several kinds : local (Pausanias informs us of gods who's shape is far from the attic model) ; chronological (upper archaism gods of Homer and figurative arts are not those of Apollonius and the pergamenian sculptors) ; generic too, in so far as the religious and political art that is sculpture, and painting with its narrative functions, do not have the same goal and do not obey to the same technical constraints

Full textThe number of documents relating to monsters and monstrosity shows that in Greece they are an important anthropological and conceptual category, as evidenced by literature and iconography of the vases. This study focuses on the study of the vocabulary of monstrosity, but also an abundant images on these objects commonly used as vases. The importance given by the Greeks to the monstrosity, wether mythological or not, shows that it is useful to think about it : thanks to its interference and its transgressions, it defines the limits of humanity

Full textThis study is an extension of Marcel Detienne and Jean-Pierre Vernant's reflexion on métis in poetic's field. As a narrative of contests, Odyssey is the ideal setting for a poetic expression of métis. Odysseus and Penelope are crafty, they share a homophrosuné, an egality and a compliticity of cunning. They are also, polukerdeièsin, they have a penchant, a tropism, for the tricks. They are one when it cornes to making a profit. The term that we thought most appropriate to account for Odysseus and Penelope's intelligence is kerdosuné, the clever efficiency, the profit (kerdos) motive. The challenge of epic contests is the restoration of the recognition, the charis. Odysseus tricks to find his place in the oikos, to be acknowledged by his relatives. The epic song participates in this project of charis protection and preservation. Il is an expedient, a pharmakon epistrophon wich « turns » (translation of epistréphein) the hearts toward the euphrôn, the cheer. The study of métis in the Odyssey reveals the importance of the poetic function of the game in the Ancient Greece

Full textThe appellation "hybrid art" appears after a reflexion on our artistic practice and corresponds to an analysis of the evolution of textil art since the sixteens, when the revolution of the tapestry takes place, in a context of emancipation of women, the principal instigators of this artcraft, living condition of handicraft to include different artistic practices in order to become a selfart. This transfer shows an artistic tendency of this age, investigating the origins (anthropology) to be projected in the future. As a matter of fact, it's being transformed progressively in an hybrid art, beyond the artistic categorys, transgressing the limits imposed by the technics and the material itself in a metaphysical quest in order to find an human identity. In determining our practice and interrogating the feminine particularity belonging to the textil, we have made investigation on the textil origins and have discovered the complex myth of the metamorphosis of arachne, containing the symbolic of the feminine creation connected with the problematicals essence/existence and illusion/reality, make appears the concept of transformation, of hybridation. After our investigations, corroborating our intuition on the creative process, we have deliberately called our practice "hybrid art" and we have presented it as a manifest, joining five exemples of artists from this moving

Full textDrawing on various text sources, mainly literary, from antiquity until the present day, we have studied different ways of expression: creation, metamorphosis and sublimation of emblematic characters, with or without the Pygmalion syndrome. The interference of love, madness and natural or hallucinogenic specters, on the edge of the fantastic, with doubles, transpositions and subterfuges lead these characters to success as well as to failure. The emergence of created, modified, resuscitated, lively or revived characters illustrates the desire that motivates us. Pygmalion is the standard-bearer, but we go far beyond his myth. Sublimation and liveliness remains in the background. There are innumerable setbacks, in contrast with the few successes that are more or less spectacular. These novels are based on real-life, though somewhat romanticized biographies. None of the heroes escapes intellectual, psychic, physical mutation, whether desired or suffered, either directed or personal and sometimes the combination of the two. Never is the endeavour innocent; sometimes it is to the exclusive benefit of the godlike or narcissistic Pygmalion

Full textThe thesis is based on the constat that gestures in images are semantically polyvalent. Gestures have to assume also the verbal expression of supplication. It's a interaction of signs that does not refer to a structurate ritual, supplication is expressed by numerous rituals and figurative solutions. These is constructed by 7 chapter, centred about one ore more mythical characters. (Priamos, Alkmena, Telephos, Orestes, Kassandra, Dejanira). Suppliant in the center of composition is like a picture into a picture, with a process that is parallel of the textual one in attic tragedy. This statue/suppliant, fixed on the altar, take life by the gestures that implicate him. Supplication play on numerous levels, but in images it's thought almost essentially in the way of oikos

Full textThis masters essay aims to understand the symbolism of the Ganymede mosaic of the House of Dionysus in Nea Paphos (Cyprus) dated to the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 3rd century AD and to determine the room’s use. This double inquiry arises from the observation of the geometric details associated with the scene representing the rapt of the Trojan ephebe by an eagle. Firstly, the nature of the "rosette" associated with the figurative panel is analyzed with the iconographic documents and the ancient texts. The results of this analysis allow us to discuss the symbolic, ideological or philosophical-religious meaning that motifs would confer on the scene. Secondly, the arrangement of the "rosette" and other geometric patterns suggests that the room could have been used in a specific context. In addition to these decorative clues, the function of the room is also discussed according to architectural and planimetric data. Some conclusions about the symbolism that emerge from the study of the mosaic of Ganymede are then confronted with certain figured pavements found in the domus.

Full textThe attitude of surrealism towards antiquity and greek mythology is ambiguous : it combines suspicion and attraction. So surralists shown a particular predilecion for the myth of narcissus, as its presence in their litterature as much as in their painting attest it. Concerning the illustration of this myth, André Masson and Salvador Dali are the most representative artists in the surrealist movement : they both composed poetical texts, oil-paintings or drawings about this subject. Dali represented this theme twice in his career : the first time in 1936-37, with his famous metamosphosis of narcissus, the second time in joung narcissus asleep dated from 1980. In Masson's production, the subject appears seven times, between 1934 and 1973. Both of these artists knew the metamorphoses of Ovide, but their respective personnality, associate to the reading of modern texts, interfere in their interpretation of the myth. So that the differents in comparison with the antique text lead to a "rewriting" of the myth, interpreted by the means of psychoanalysis. To choose this myth is not innocent for an artist, as Paul Valery shown it. If Salvador Dali asserts that his ambition was to expose the narcissism in his work, he parallely exhibits his own perversity. With this myth, Masson conjures up the suicide associated to the existence of a sado-masochist element included in each humain being. Then, the subject changes to illustrate a fusion of man and nature and an existential philosophy

Full textThe griffin of the Archaic Period in Greece is the result of the import of the pattern from the Middle East. If its popularity at that time was obvious, it drastically decreased at the end of the Greco-Persian wars. However, when it reappeared in full force during the fourth century BC, it was completely changed. Ancient sources reference a tale, a Scythian myth in which the griffins are in perpetual conflict with their neighbors, the Arimaspians, over the glittering gold that is plentiful where they roost. In the arts, the griffin was no longer represented as a bronze protome on cauldrons dedicated to various deities, but rather on terracotta vases. Apart from its morphology, the creatures associated with each support are widely different in style, and the motif is nigh unrecognizable. What might have occurred for the griffin motif to have changed so much ? The Hellenization of the pattern in the fifth century through art and writing is difficult to discern. As for the Roman texts, they are of dubious reliability due to interpretations that do not necessarily reflect the thought process of the originals artists. However the Hellenization of the plastic and litterary motif is easily perceived through the stylistic development of the plastic pattern and the presence of the griffin in a pseudo Greek Scythian Koine fabricated.

Actually, no exists an univerity study about enescu's music exemptedin his native country : romania. So, it was necessary to realize an analyze of his work with a french view. It appears that enescu used folklore only as material and not ideological concept. His opera oedip attests enescu as one of the highest lyric composers of the twentieth century and not a romanian composer, because of modernist concets. Romania folklore serves only to modern experiences, especially about vocal an,d orchestral music

Full textThis is a mythological study concerning mainly two heroic figures of ancient Greece: Pelops and Hippodameia, ancestors of the heroic genos of the Pelopids. In the continuity of the works of Marcel Detienne, Claude Calame or Charles Delattre about the notion of myth, no more considered as an « indigenous category » but as a construct built a posteriori by contemporary scholars, I define, on the basis of the minimal criterias that are the proper nouns of the heroes and their iconographical types, a corpus composed of Greek (and also in some measure Latin) texts and of Greek, Etruscan and Roman figurative works, which I then study systematically in order to find out more precise criterias of unity or discontinuity in the representations of these heroic figures, paying special attention to the great variety of contexts (cults, genres, historical eras) in which they are evoked. I thus study the heroic cults devoted to Pelops and Hippodameia in Olympia, the visual representations of these heroes, and the different forms of speech which mention them, from Homer to Nonnos of Panopolis. I lastly try to provide the main elements for a global study of this corpus in a perspective informed by historical anthropology. If the widest corpus, composed of the mentions of Pelops, has only a limited coherence, several subsets appear more pertinent, mainly that which is formed by the representations of the chariot race that allows the union of two spouses, despite the reluctance of Hippodameia's father, Oinomaos

Full textThe fascination exerted by the myth of Orpheus on artists, writers, musicians and poets seems perennial. As always, in the twentieth century authors come back to the characters of Orpheus and Eurydice. In 1914, a young Italian poet named Dino Campana composed Canti Orfici (Orphic Songs), a collection of unique poems. In 1926, a theater play, Orphée, is composed and produced by a remarkable French artist : Jean Cocteau, who associated himself with the contemporary interpretation of the inspired poet in this subject. He comes back to the myth again in one of his great films, Orphée, in 1950. A Belgian woman writer, Marguerite Yourcenar composed a novel, La Nouvelle Eurydice which is published in 1931 and in 1991. A Puerto Rican author of numerous critical works, Iris M. Zavala wrote a theoretical novel, El sueño del amor (The dream of love) in 1998. History and the mythological intertwine in this polyphonic novel. She resuscitates this myth in order to speak about her preoccupations in the Caribbean and about her own writing so as to unatach Eurydice from the narrative of the myth.The comparison of these carefully chosen and unusually paired together texts would be interesting and would complement past researches from which it will profit. This comparative study proposes then to valorize genre and gender by explaining and revealing the important differences and similarities between these various visions of the myth of Orpheus in order to unveil the richness of these texts that are inspired by Greek mythology which consequently proves the value of Orpheus and Eurydice who still resound in a variety of artistic genres to this day since they continue to communicate with us. The echo of the myth of Orpheus finally suggests that there is a conversation between the myth and the author who is inspired and exhales the creation of a text that tells the story, which is ancient and modern at the same time.Firstly, we shall treat the ancient versions of the myth so as to see the images of Orpheus that can be found in Greek legends and myths. The important elements of the narrations including Orpheus and/or Eurydice will be shown gradually in accordance with the different versions of the story of the bard from Thrace. This will allow us to look at the resuscitation of interest in the myth of Orpheus during the 20th century. The permanent and modified mythical elements will be studied attentively by these reinterprets with the goal of showing their role in the meaning of the myth. This leads to our looking for ways to explore how the sense or the meaning of the myth is modified in accordance with the textual genre and the gender of the authors of these variations. This study seeks to underline the value of genre/gender which consequently unveils the reasons for which certain reinterprets identify with Orpheus while other reinterprets appropriate Eurydice with the same goal of allowing the rebirth of these mythical characters so that they may enchant and inspire us with their eternal voice. We propose then to complete the study of the myth by closely following these variations through the objective of our hypothesis while striving to enrich as well as inspire the multitude of researches that continue to look behind even past the 20th century to see the myth of Orpheus the bard and Eurydice the nymph

Full textHerakles is one of the most important figures in the literature and art of ancient Greece, and he is the subject of a huge mythology as complex as varied. Herakles’ story is developed in the oral traditions and transcribed in the texts, as well as widely put in image. He is profusely represented in attic ceramics, which constitute a polysemic support, making all the variations that allow his complex figure. First, a vase could be seen in differents ways and views : from a simple reception to a more elaborate thought, according to the abilities and the culture of the spectators. Then, Heracles is the only character in Greek mythology who has such an ambiguous nature, of heroes and gods. So the Greek artists have adapted, on various media, from architecture to ceramic, a large number of his deeds, highlighting one quality or an other, depending on which episode is represented. Obviously, in order to interpreting the image of Herakles in the archaic and the classical periods of Greek antiquity, the particular context of a city, the political situation and the object must all be considered

Full textThe thesis proposes the study of the variation of Perseus and Andromeda's myth all along the centuries through the analysis of musical works in relation with pictorial and literary works over the same myth, according to a method of mythocritic – study of the recurring topicals of the myth in a literary or artistic context – and compared mythanalysis – myth’s study in a social or historic context – applied to various arts.The aim of this thesis – to understand the evolution of the myth according to the mind of the artist and the era – appeared with the reading of the various works on the myth itself, on Perseus and Andromeda’s symbols and on the relations derived between the arts. The method applied to this study, which makes possible the relationships of works of differents arts, as been elaborated in purpose to make Perseus and Andromeda's mythanalysis and to understand how at some point, the artists appropriated themselves mythical symbols and deliver their own understanding.The convergences between the mythocritic analysis of musical, pictorial and literary works on Perseus and Andromeda, justify for mythanalysis conclusions in a precise time. All of them, all along the centuries – the palimpsest – highlights the evolution of the myth of the seventeenth century until today
El, Abed Nesrine. "Oeuvre monstre, création informe." Thesis, Paris 1, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA010677.
Full textThis study I entitled "Monster Work, a Formless Creation" is to be inscribed within a contemporary art research that deals with the idea of the extreme in relation to plastic phenomena, for the latter depend on the theory of form and on a great plasticity enhanced by personal creations that happily melt traditional sculptures with digital technology. As a matter of fact, combining the digital image, the clay and the video, with the monster, was a way to reach what is profound within formless and cruel works of art that are of painful and torn resemblances. The monstrous form is, thus, not reduced to a simple conscious significance, it transcribes an unambiguous discourse and the monster becomes the concept, par excellence, of my plastic practice. The work of art becomes connected to the "monstrum" and the image is inherently endowed with a visual power (in French "monstrative"). Every image, be it digital, photographic or video graphic is a monstrance. Sculpture would be the representation of the fallen body or the image of death that appears in Narcissus Mirror and that is no longer related to any form of resemblance, showing a reflection that grasps the Mask of Medusa. This research that is focusing on formlessness serves to dispel the myths under violent and rugged practices supported by a theoretical research based on the philosophy of Georges Bataille as well as that of anthropologists and phenomenologists, and through their thoughts, the work brings the different experiences of extremes, excess and loss to the dimension of sacrifice
Collard, Hélène. "Montrer l'invisible : recherche sur la mise en image de la présence divine au sein de l'espace rituel sur les vases attiques." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0014.
Full textIn the Greek world, an important mode of divine perception, although this is not the only one, is the visual perception. This was especially made possible by means of images, which are part of the visible but enable to “show the invisible” and, therefore, to embody the divine. To shed light on the issue of divine representation in the Greek religious system, this study intends to provide an analysis of various processes for imaging the divine presence within a specific artistic production: attic vase-painting of the sixth and fifth centuries BC. While figurative representation of the gods could take many forms, vase-painting is a particularly interesting case study for it works on a proper mode and then offers a specific sight on the way the Greeks perceived the world and themselves. By reading and analysing these images, this study also address some broader issues, as the possible cultual referent of these pictures, the relationship established through the ritual between worshipers and deities, and the picture the Greeks had of their gods and of the ways in which they could manifest themselves

Full textHelen of Troy, emblematic heroine of the Trojan Cycle in 5th century BC, enjoyed a special fortune in Etruria, of bronze mirrors in particular, an object traditionally associated with the female world. More than just a legend, among the Greeks, the history of Helen symbolizes the supremacy of beauty and conflict between morality and aesthetics. The literary sources that mention it are innumerable and its character has been built for many centuries, adapting to the different times and mentalities. An ambiguous and complex character, Helen of Troy has many sides to her: she is both an exemplary figure of marriage and, at the same time, an adulterer and bigamist, parthenos and nymphê, she embodies many different feminine aspects. Our study is interested in Etruria’s iconography, where craftsmen interpret the Greek myth and adapt it to the local customer needs. From a corpus of twenty-seven mirrors, dated from the 5th to the early 3rd century BC, we sought to reveal a specific speech and determine its forms. The comparison of the corpus of mirrors with other, Greek and Italic, directories, including vascular painting, and ancient textual sources, made it possible to highlight not only Helen's imagination, but also the presence of a female "iconographic network" that was formed in the Italic peninsula in the 4th century BC, in which other Homeric heroines such as Cassander, Ariadne and Polyxene, using the same speech forming the framework of a visual directory, wich extolls the values of the Italic female aristocracy. Our research focus on the Italic muliebris mundus, Etruscans in particular, through the iconography of Helen, a heroic model, and through the mirror, an object that represents strong female values. This feminine semantic network, of which Helen is one of the main figures, recalls certain notions, such as beauty, charis, seduction and marriage

Full textDivine punishment constitutes a recurrent phenomenon in Greek mythology. The hubristic behaviour of vain and selfish individuals, who aspire either to compare themselves to the gods or to succeed them to the domination of the Cosmos, provokes a series of atrocious tortures inflicted by the Olympians to men and women, to humans and mythical creatures, to heroes, kings and even to other gods equally.The present PhD study examines the iconography of a variety of types of Divine Punishment in the Greek and Roman art and the occidental painting (15th-19th centuries). It analyses the interaction between the various works of art and the ancient, mediaeval and modern literary sources. It pinpoints the resemblances between the ancient themes and certain biblical or chivalrous episodes. It focuses finally on the influence wielded by the iconography of divine punishment in politics, society and religion, both in Antiquity and in modern times

Full textThe exceptional scope provided by the myth of Medea, which spans from the Conquest of the Golden Fleece to her return to the throne of Colchis, was received in its entirety by the Early Modern Arts and offers a multi-faced prism : Medea “tue-enfant” (La Péruse), the character left by the Ancient ancient Greek tragedy that became an archetypal figure of monstrous violence, crosses the path of the oriental lover of a civilizing hero, and also the enchantress who scatters lineages and timelines. Sculpted by the Christian culture and allowed into the official artistic repertory, this ambivalent figure absorbs the aesthetics and ethical debates of modernity. Indeed, Her Medea’s myth can be used for the expression of horror, allegories of glory, as well as expression of the passions.In addition, from the establishment of the Order of the Golden Fleece, by the Duke of Burgundy in 1430, to the end of the War of the Spanish Succession (which redefined the entire map of major European powers), Medea’s myth becomes one of the most efficient fictional mirrors of the political disputes between the most influential families of Europe, as an instrument of the publication of the Prince programme. Into the landscape of the cultural influences shared by the States of Early Italy and the French Kingdom, this study intends to show, by analysingthe spread of iconography of Medea, her presence in printed material and her classical performance reception and rewriting, how the exchanges between visual and literary productions work towards the definition of a paradoxical heroic standard. Where Medea “becomes Medea” and renews the oath that Seneca made her take: “Fiam”

Full textPhilosophically the 20th century is in many ways an existentialist century where the existence is thought of as transcendence of the world in the expectation. According to existentialism man is at the same time in the world and beyond the world because if the situation transcends us in its factuality we transcend it by our will. Yet for the existentialism of failure nothing – except death – can really free man from the factual situation of the historic world: his sole transcendence can only be in the feeling of the impossibility of transcendence and thus in the consciousness of failure. Poetically we find this situation of failure in the myth of Orpheus where the power of the poetic act is questioned metalogically. Beyond the religious orphism the myth of Orpheus offers us the vision of a chant which is at the same time nostalgic disenchantment and epistemic enchantment and therefore respectively a lamentation for what is no more and admiration for what is. Thus orphic is the nostalgic melancholy which in vain wants to transcend the present in the past but nontheless as a magic word transcends the present in the future. So for the 20th poetic century we can speak of orphic existentialism and list some of its most eminent manifestations. In the Italian poetry the poem L’ultimo viaggio (1904) by Pascoli presents a phrase – non esser più – which carries of its own an existentialist problematic – both in its negative nostalgic way as in its affirmative epistemic way – that we find with equal force in Ungaretti and Montale and Pasolini where, without any doubts, the aspiration to the being lives in the desolation of the no longer being. These four poets are thus faced with the same hermeneutic method which actualizes the microcriticism of a strongly circumstantial phrase – non esser più for Pascoli, equivoco della luna for Ungaretti, eternità d’istante for Montale and grin di cristàl for Pasolini – via the macrocriticism of the poetic corpus of each poet in order to question – all along the 20th century – different modalities of one and the same orphic existentialism
