Junqua, Amélie. "Joseph Addison et le langage." Paris 7, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA070049.
Full textOur analysis focuses on Joseph Addison's conception and practice of language, as exposed in his periodical essays and more generally his prose. If Addisonian periodicals have been variously interpreted, it has seldom been considered how they could be also read as a possible popularization of Locke's theories on words, or more generally as a transmission of linguistic theories and cultural attitudes towards language to a vast readership (both in Europe and in America, and well until the XIXth century). We therefore endeavour in a first part to recreate Addison's social and cultural 'milieu,' to consider thé various conceptions of language it exposed him to, and to appreciate the respective influences of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Our second part deals with the peculiar status Addison bestows upon John Locke, the latter becoming a philosophical landmark as well as an intellectual façade or mask for Joseph Addison; and questions the assumption that Addison wrote primarily as a popularizer. Our third part is devoted to Addison's practice and observation of language - his obsessive concern for signs, his amateur attempt at establishing a semiotics of urban space and sartorial codes - which yet rarely complies with Lockean theories. Addison's paradoxical interpretation and practice of linguistic theories lead him to the unsolved - and unsolvable - dead-end of ambiguity. This position however provides him with unbounded powers of literary creation, endlessly dividing yet enriching his periodical essays
Chauou, Amaury. "L'idéologie Plantagenêt en Occident : (XIIe-XVe siècles)." Rennes 2, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000REN20027.
Full text@Henry II Plangenet, King of England, gathered a brilliant court society in an ideological purpose to take over a mythical character of British past : King Arthur. This fabulous protector provided the Plantegenet monarchy with three main benefits. Through the means of the succession of the ancestral kings of Britain, of Troyan origins, he legitimatized the angevine dynasty. He could also be useful to bring unity between the different lands of the Plantagenet empire, thanks to a common reference. Next, he was able to stand in opposition to Charlemagne's legend, which the Capetian kings exploited in a political way. The Plantagenet court took up again the arthurian tradition after Geoffrey of Monmouth to elaborate on it. Authors such as Wace or Benoit de Sainte-Maure has been patronized to link a chronicle of the Normans with a chronicle of the British in order to create a huge work of propaganda in favour of the Plantagenets. They have been helped in that way by authors of the Matter of Britain, such as Chretien de Troyes, who, regardless of the king of England, favoured the Plantagenet monarchy by spreading a model of courtly kinship. This one, at the junction of the feudal and secular conception of the king as a primus inter pares, and of the augustinian and gregorian notion of the king as a sovereign, whose power lies in supernatural origins, found its best translation in the myth of the Round table. This political mythology has been reinforced by the connection of the arthurian kingship with the themes of the translated imperii and of the translatio studii, which pointed out the Plantagenet lands for the fulfilment of chivalric and christian times. The discovery of the so-called remains of King Arthur at Glastonbury Abbey achieved the anglo-angevine propaganda by transposing it into reality. The Plantagenet ideology enjoyed an extraordinary diffusion through Western medieval Europe thanks to its consubstantial links with the Matter of Britain. Its political consequences were of the highest importance for King Richard, King Edward I and King Edward III. But it is on the socio-political ground that its influence grew the most, because many princely courts adopted the chilvaric ideal of the arthurian kingship

Full textThe 17th century witnessed the confirmation of the confessional choices of the European Christians. This phenomenon occurred through the European, national and individual process of confessionalisation. England and Scotland experienced this process as much as the rest of Europe. It became there the consequence and the motivation of the affirmation of national identities which enabled the two nations to differentiate from each other within the union of the crowns, from 1603, and during the organisation of the Union of 1707. The aim of this thesis is to understand what motivated these identity and confessional affirmations and what it reflected of the English, Scottish and British identities. Within a century, the national Churches of the Isle became the representatives and the warrants of the cultural independence of their nations. The independence of the Churches of the united kingdoms was eventually recognised as a necessity in the shaping of Great Britain whereas during the first half of the 17th century, the English and Scottish Protestants believed in Church uniformity, if not in Church union. The national and European contexts, the crown's interests or those of its supporters and opponents, progressively shaped a new religious landscape on the Isle. It led to the birth of a new multi confessional Protestant unity which still reflects today what Great Britain is: a country made of nations all determined to keep their specificities
Robles, Fanny. "Émergence littéraire et visuelle du muséum humain : les spectacles ethnologiques à Londres, 1853-1859." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014TOU20038.
Full textNineteenth-Century ethnological shows involved the display of thousands of colonised people in a variety of urban settings, including zoos, cabarets, private apartments, and scientific institutions. This dissertation focuses on two South African shows in particular: the “Zulu Kafirs” and “Earthmen”, both staged in London in the 1850s. Taking its lead from Charles Dickens’s pamphlet “The Noble Savage”, written after he saw the “Zulus”, this thesis looks at the Victorian fantasy of a “human museum”. Following a historical study of the concepts of “race” and “savagery” in the 18th and 19th centuries, we retrace the evolution of museological practices and look at Dickens’s fascination with a (monstrous) human museum. We then move on to consider Victorian ethnological shows and the African “specimen” as “ethnographical metonym” and myth, displayed in a true “heterotopic fantasy”. This fantasy was realized in the Natural History Department of the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, where casts of the “specimens” on show were arranged in “ecological theatres”. There, the museum visit allowed for social exploration among the visitors, and raised the issue of (moral) cannibalism, at the point at which Victorian capitalism and imperialism met their own contradictions. These are further explored in Bleak House (1853), where Dickens attacks “telescopic philanthropy”, as the “ethnological preference” seemed to go to American slaves, whose narratives were published and staged. In this light, we might read A Tale of Two Cities (1859) as the realisation of the writer’s fear that the Poor might revert to a state of “primitive” savagery, if they remain overlooked in the philanthropists’ human museum
Brun, Chaise Vanessa. "Eikon Basilike (1649) : héroïsme royal et mises en récit de l'histoire." Thesis, Reims, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018REIML009.
Full textThe aim of the project is to study the representations of King Charles I (1649), starting with a book published a few days after his execution, Eikon Basilike. First, this text seems to be a spiritual autobiography of the king, but all the editions, translations and reviews, published in the seventeenth century in England and in the rest of Europe, transformed the view we had on this text. It became a representation of the political and religious problems of that time and a representation of the king, that is to say 'the royal portrait', or Eikon Basilike. It is this representation which is to be studied here: how the Royal history is told through these numerous publications? The purpose of this work is to understand how the king’s image is changing in order to respond to 1649, and to see what those changes reveal about the Early Modern English society. The aim is to study the writing, the reading and the impact of this text on the representation of the king and of the Monarchy

Full textThis study first intends to map out the various modalities of scientific and technical patronage. Grand aristocratic patronage is rarely granted and is rivaled by more customary forms of protection. The State remains the greatest bestower of favours. Even if sciences and techniques are not supported by any administrative structures, monarchies give scientists and technicians several occupational perspectives while the State’s military and cultural preoccupations spark the development of various fields of research. Despite the administrators’ growing tendency to support scholarly enterprises, the access to the sovereign’s favours remains very competitive, as is shown through the longitude quarrel, which breaks out in relation to the work of the astrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin. Lastly, technicians increasingly appeal for another form of protection - the privilege of invention, which often results in the creation of technical enterprises. The last part of this study shows that the conquest of the marketplace tends to be spurred by favours more than by innovation
Forain, Guillaume. ""A sport for the taste of the court" : présentation et traduction annotée de huit masques de cour de Ben Jonson (1605-1624)." Montpellier 3, 2009. http://www.biu-montpellier.fr/florabium/jsp/nnt.jsp?nnt=2009MON30049.
Full textThis study offers the first full-length translation of eight texts written by Ben Jonson for Jacobean court masques. The masque, a cross-disciplinary genre and the counterpart of the French ballet de cour and Italian intermezzo, was short-lived (1605-1640), but dazzling. The first volume traces its origins and the work of the two artists who improved it over its predecessors : Jonson, by the quality of his texts, and Inigo Jones, whose lavish stage designs reduced the text to a mere foil in the next reign. Then, a critical overview of the genre shows that, far from being only a royal panegyric, masques often voiced complex political issues. The spirit and principles of this translation are also put forward : the aim was to express both the ideological and historical outdatedness of these texts (especially by translating into rhymed Alexandrine verse the iambic pentametres of the main masque – the panegyric part proper), but also their more modern dimension, especially in the comic passages of the antimasque. Lastly, there are many chronological, biographical and iconographical documents appended to this volume. The second volume includes the English text and French translation facing each other, accounts for the choice of the editions used (Herford & Simpson, Orgel), presents the historical context and main thematic lines of each masque, and provides numerous notes, taking into account the work of the previous commentators and the most recent critical contributions. This unprecedented translation aims at making Jonson’s masques available to the francophone community ; yet the updating work and interpretations offered in the substantial critical apparatus may prove useful to the specialists of the period
