Abstract:
Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes évertués à montrer les spécificités du roman francophone négro-africain post-indépendance et à mettre l'accent sur le fait que celles-ci participent à l'élaboration d'une esthétique voire des esthétiques plurielles qui lui appartiennent en propre. Dans cette optique, force est de souligner le processus d'affranchissement progressif et perpétuel du roman africain vis-à-vis de son homologue occidental et l'esquisse d'une identité narrative assez inédite. L'émancipation du roman négro-africain à l'égard du roman occidental se traduit par le caractère latino-américain qu'il adopte. A cela, s'ajoute incontestablement un ancrage systématique dans la tradition orale africaine. Du point de vue du cheminement de notre réflexion, cette thèse est constituée de trois parties majeures et essentielles qui marquent chacune les moments forts de nos recherches. Ces différents volets de nos travaux se réfèrent aux aspects linguistiques du roman-négro-africain, à la narration avec pour corollaire l'utilisation particulière de l'espace et du temps effectuée en Afrique, à l'imaginaire dans le roman sub-saharien et enfin au renouveau thématique de la littérature africaine<br>In this study we exert ourselves to show the specificities of Negro-African French speaking post-independence novel and to stress the fact that these one take part in the drawing up of a aesthetic indeed plural aesthetics which belong to it. In this point of view, it is necessary to mention progressive and perpetual emancipation process of African novel towards European novel and the sketch of narrative identity enough original. The emancipation of Negro-African novel with regard to European novel means the Latino-American character that it take. Moreover, we can add incontestably a systematic anchoring in African oral tradition. As for the advance of our reflection, this thesis is organized in three greater and essential parts which indicate each one the important moments of our searches. The different volets of our labours refer to linguistic aspects of Negro-African novel, to the narration with for corollary particulary use of space and of the time done for African people, to imaginary in the Negro-African novel and lastly to thematic springtide of African literature

Abstract:
Le port romain des laurons (martigues, bouches-du-rhone) a ete installe a l'abri par une crique rocheuse tribolee. C'est un site appartenant peut-etre a l'ensemble portuaire romain du golfe de fos, debouche maritime de la ville d'arles. Il a ete occupe du 3e siecle avant j. C au 7e siecle de notre ere. Les structures portuaires comprennent des digues et des jetees en blocs tailles, ainsi qu'un quai construit a sec dans un caisson de bois remarquablement conserve. Parmi les epaves, l'epave 2 est particulierement connue pour son architecture, car elle avait conserve son pont et possedait encore un element de gouvernail. Le site est peut-etre celui identifie sous le dilis posito dans l'itineraire maritime d'antonin. Il etait au debouche de plusieurs plaines fertiles, ou etaient installes des villas et des sites agricoles romains. La principale caracteristique de cette etude est de montrer l'unicite du port a travers des elements tres differents, structures portuaires, epaves, villa maritime, tombes, aqueduc, et depotoir comprenant un important materiel archeologique, provenant de l'ensemble du bassin mediterraneen<br>The roman port of laurons (martigues, bouches-du-rhone) was built under the protection of a rocked creek with three coves. The site was perhaps the property of the roman portuary complex in the gulf of fos, the seaside opening of the city of arles. It was occupied since the third century bc until the seventh century ac. The harbour strucutres comprise dykes and piers in big cut stones, as well as un quay, builded out of the wet in a wood caison, well preserved. Among the wreks, the boot 2 is particularly well know for its architecture, because it preserved its deck, and a element of the rudder. The site id perhaps dilis positio,which is called so in the "itineraire maritime" of antonin. It was at the opening of several fertile plains, where ware builed romans villas and agricultural sites. The principal characteristic of this study is the evidence that a harbour site is a unity through very different elements, harbour strucutres, wrecks, maritime villa, graves, aqueduc, and dump, with a important lot of archaeological artefacts, coming of the whole of the mediterranean basin

Abstract:
Late Roman chronicles are little studied and greatly misunderstood. The purpose of this dissertation is to treat a Late Roman chronicler, Hydatius, as a living, breathing person and to use the chronicle as a means of revealing this individual: his beliefs, his interests, his fears, his attitudes, his view of the Empire, and his abilities as an historian. Hydatius was a bishop in Gallaecia, writing in 468-9 amidst the Suevic depredations of Spain. As a result he is a unique source in that he is the earliest extant historian who wrote in a post- Roman (i.e. Mediaeval) world. His chronicle is the only detailed source for Spanish history in the fifth century and the only detailed source written about the fifth-century barbarian invasions and settlements. Though extremely isolated he had remarkable contacts with the outside world and his chronicle is a unique source for much non- Spanish information. It is also one of the most personal of all the Late Antique chronicles and therefore an excellent gateway for an examination of the Late Roman world as seen through the eyes of a contemporary. For these reasons, Hydatius' vivid and often emotive account of the sufferings of Gallaecia at the hands of the Sueves and Goths, framed by the parallel military, religious and imperial history of the Eastern and Western empires and set within the eschatological context of the imminent Apocalypse, deserves detailed study. The production of a new critical edition, based on only the third, complete, first-hand examination of the sole major manuscript (B) since 1615 and the first produced from all known manuscript evidence, complete with apparatuses on the manuscripts, chronology and orthography, was necessitated by the perverse Sources chrétiennes edition of 1974 and the discovery of new evidence from a careful study of manuscript B.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the economies of Roman ports and their role in the facilitation and organization of maritime trade, combining both terrestrial and maritime archaeological evidence as well as literary and epigraphic material. The first half of the thesis examines Mediterranean ports from a panoptic level in order to address questions of systems of trade, connectivity and economic development. In doing so, I focus on three particular areas of material culture: ceramics, shipwreck cargoes (typically composed of amphorae, metal ingots or stone) and epigraphy. The second half of the thesis focuses on two case studies, southern Turkey and southern France. For each region, I explore the economic factors which led to the development of each region and the ways in which ports enabled this development. I consider the impact of landscape, the usage of natural resources and the extent of production for both local consumption and export. Importantly, I examine the regional connections of the two regions and their interactions within the wider Mediterranean. I develop a model for the development of ports along each coastline and their degree of integration into the trading network of the Roman Mediterranean. Building on this, it becomes possible to assess the extent and scale of extra-regional interaction and market integration. From the evidence presented in this thesis, I argue that ports were at the core of the Roman market economy and that the development of a port network allowed for the integration and interdependence of Mediterranean markets. This allowed for regional economic growth through the specialization in the production of goods for which a region had a comparative advantage.

Abstract:
This thesis is the result of a decision to extend the approach used by me when examining Irish burial practices, to a review of the archaeological and documentary record for burial practices and associated phenomena in the transitional period from late/post-Roman Britain to Anglo-Saxon England. The study considers burial rites; the method of disposal of physical remains, the position and orientation of bodies, and burial structures and enclosures: grave-goods are only referred to when they are pertinent to a particular line of argument. My intention is to draw together the various aspects of burial of the Iron Age, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon periods in order to look at the overall picture. Occasionally this may mean stating the obvious, but by noting and plotting distributions of various burial traits first in the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, and then comparing these traits with the Anglo-Saxon period some revealing results can be obtained. It was important to begin with the Iron Age since some minority practices current in the early Anglo-Saxon period had a continuous history from the pre-Roman period. They are of importance in demonstrating the continuities that existed alongside major changes. [continued in text ...]

Full text
Abstract:
With its long tradition of trade contacts with the eastern Mediterranean, coupled with the productivity of Campania, Pozzuoli rapidly became a centre for technical and commercial expertise. It soon became the principal port of the Capital in the late 3rd and 2nd Centuries BC and maintained its function as a port of Rome at least till the 3rd Century AD. Pozzuoli was also a ‘packet port’ for travellers to the east and the principal place of arrivals and departures for officials, embassies and ordinary travellers making the port very cosmopolitan in nature. Its richness in archaeological remains coupled with its unique geological setting has resulted in plenty of scholarly research, particularly on the individual public monuments of the port. There has however been little attempt to understand the urban development of the port and when compared to other Campanian towns such as Pompeii and Herculaneum, thematic research in the area is still in its infancy. The context within which the study will take place is the idea of knowledge representation and the use of visualisation as a tool for understanding complex datasets. Pozzuoli has been represented in many ways through various periods in time and a digital visualisation, together with the process with which the vast documentation is selected gathered, transformed and ultimately aims to provide a legitimate synthesis of all the complex information that has accumulated over time. The methodology adopted will be that which adheres to the principles of the London Charter with a particular a focus on the documentation of process known as ‘Paradata’ and attempts to provide a new critical example of its implementation.

Full text
Abstract:
The Wirral Peninsula is located in the North West of England, between the Mersey and the Dee rivers, with its north shore facing directly onto the Irish Sea. A key site within the region is Meols, an ancient port now eroded by the sea, but which has provided a legacy of finds that are testament to its significance across a very broad period of time. The post-Roman history of the North West of England, has traditionally suffered from a deficit of research, literature on the region is limited, with a bias to Chester, or other specific sites and with no recent texts that have the North West or Cheshire as a focus. The catalogue of finds from Meols (Griffiths, Egan and Philpott, 2007) is an important source of information and has served to emphasise the potential for further archaeological work. There is, also, a growing body of information in the database of finds maintained by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. My research revisits questions about post-Roman Wirral in the light of more recent data. The questions relate to the settlement of the peninsula, how it was connected into wider networks of communication and trade and whether there is any evidence of early Christianity. A fourth question which influences each of the others is what relationship there was between Meols and Chester. An original database has been compiled specifically for this research bringing together both new and legacy data from a wide range of sources. This has allowed the data to be analysed in several ways, through an examination of linkages with Roman times, the context of finds and how the whole might fit into a wider regional framework. Through this analysis, it has been possible to suggest potential narratives relating to activity in this specific place in the post-Roman era.

On the one hand, studies of the Roman port are fragmentary and have been carried out from different perspectives, without taking into account other disciplines that allow data to be combined. On the other hand, no remains of the main structures of the Roman port, such as its harbour wall, have been preserved. For this reason, our monographic approach will enable us to focus the study on the specific area of the port in order to analyse it in detail.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis discusses a number of issues related to the relationship between Gallo-Roman aristocrats and political power in Gaul during the fifth and sixth centuries. The first chapter opens with a discussion of classical literary culture and its role in defining and maintaining elite status in the later Roman empire while the second discusses epistolary literature specifically and the function of letter-writing in the period when Roman political power was fading and barbarian authority was only beginning to assert itself in Gaul. I show how individuals like Sidonius clung, in a world that was swiftly becoming entirely post-Roman, to a Roman cultural and political identity, while others, such as Syagrius, embraced the opportunities afforded by the barbarian regna. In my third chapter, I consider the growth of the ecclesiastical aristocracy and examine the ways in which those Gallo-Romans who entered the church redefined their position, creating, in the process, new criteria for the definition and expression of romanitas and nobilitas. I examine, in particular, the growth of aristocratic asceticism as a means for Roman nobles to gain new relevance and credibility in Gaul without having to enter barbarian service. I move on, in my fourth chapter, to examine the part played by aristocratic kinship in Episcopal elections in fifth and sixth century Gaul. In the fifth chapter I argue that Gallic bishops of the period were rarely interested in complex theology - or evangelism - and that modern expectations in this respect are at odds with the extant evidence. In this context, I look particularly at the famous monastery of Lérins, which is usually held to have been a great school of theology and centre of religious thought. Not only was Lérins not a theological centre, in fact very few bishops had any interest in theology. In each of the remaining four chapters, I examine some facet of the life and career of Caesarius of Arles whose career and attitudes not only represent an acute departure from the Episcopal aristocrat norm but also actually swept away much of the extant Episcopal culture and established the pattern for following bishops.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the recent interest in late antique archaeology and the increasing number of publications on the transformations of towns (both in Spain and in the Roman world as a whole), the concern shown towards aqueducts has been almost non-existent. Some studies have focused on exceptional local examples, such as Rome or Constantinople, but there have been neither general nor regional syntheses of the chronology of the abandonment of aqueducts on a broad regional scale. This thesis consequently fills this gap in our knowledge by offering an all-encompassing study and compilation of the available material and written evidence for aqueducts in Spain in Late Antiquity, it looks at aqueducts in the late Roman period, and how they evolve through the Visigothic and the Umayyad centuries. For this purpose, each aqueduct in the Iberian Peninsula is assessed according to the available information and studied in its wider urban context. By the end of the thesis it is possible to put forward some clear results on the degree of continuity of aqueducts in Spain. The information is used to analyse how the presence or absence of aqueducts affected the development of urban settlement and housing patterns away from a traditional Roman context. Aqueducts had not been at first an essential part of urban life, yet by Late Antiquity they had become so intimately related to it that the end of aqueduct supply modified urban landscapes. Finally, I present various scenarios to explain why aqueducts ceased to function and how the various elite groups of the period (urban aristocrats, the Church, the Visigothic monarchy and the Umayyads) tried to take over the control of the aqueducts, as they were not only extremely useful functional monuments, but also reminders and legitimising links to the Roman past.

Full text
Abstract:
La Poétique, cette discipline qui divise encore aujourd’hui les spécialistes, désignerait une étude de tous les éléments, intra-muros ou extra-muros, susceptibles de provoquer la contemplation d’un support générique en tant qu’œuvre d’art. Dans le cadre des objectifs fixés par notre approche des romans successifs publiés après les indépendances négro-africaines de 1960, la littérarité résulterait d’un régime d’images de type binaire. L’un, dit diurne, antithétique, héroïque et polémique, motive une écriture de la majoration, en reprenant le discours mythique au creux duquel le corps – promu comme le médiateur littéraire par excellence – en vient à influencer le processus d’engendrement du sens de/dans le roman post-indépendant (et/ou post-indépendance). Quant à l’autre régime, réputé nocturne et mystique, il s’appuie sur le ressourcement d’un imaginaire du féminin qui finit par ouvrir la voie à une dynamique lectorale féconde, pour autant qu’on consente à retenir pour pertinente la thèse d’après laquelle écrire le roman, c’est rencontrer la Femme. Dans ce second registre, le sens de l’œuvre ne peut advenir que par le biais d’un surgissement éclatant de l’inédit, de l’inadmissible, de l’insolite, sinon du scandale. Si on admet que l’imaginaire du féminin vient compenser le ralentissement de la création artistique nègre – constaté ces dernières années –, on doit tout aussi reconnaître que la littérarité du roman des indépendances tiendrait de la mort symbolique du corps, ce corps qui est désormais perçu comme le futur dictateur du sens. Dès lors que la mort du corps semble être entérinée, la poéticité du roman négro-africain – en l’occurrence les textes d’Ahmadou KOUROUMA et ceux de Sony LABOU TANSI – se récrée sans cesse, échappe à tout déterminisme et à tout engagement servile, et se donne à lire, tantôt comme toutes les prouesses esthétiques accomplies par les récits étudiés pour se rapprocher du lyrisme poétique, tantôt comme la quête passionnante de la sensation, mais surtout comme l’arrachement de l’œuvre singulière à l’autorité de son auteur officiel<br>The poetics, this discipline which divides up-to-date the specialists, relates to a study of all elements, intra-mural or extra-mural, capable of arousing a contemplation of a generic support as a work of art. Taking into consideration the framework of the objectives set by our approach of successive novels published after the Negro-African independences of 1960, the literarity would result from a binary system of images. On one hand the diurnal kind, antithetic, heroic and controversial, encourages a postcolonial writing (writing-back), by regaining a mythological discourse in which the body – promoted as the literary mediator by excellence – ends up influencing the process of the nurturing of sense of/in the post-independent novel (and/or post-independence). As for the other system, termed nocturnal and mystical, it is based on the enrichment of an imaginary of the feminine which ends up giving way to a prolific readers’ dynamics, as long as we agree to the pertinence of the thesis which postulates that to write a novel, is to meet a Woman. In this second understanding, the sense of the work of art can only come about through a brilliant appearance of the original, of the inadmissible, the unusual, if not of a scandal. If we admit that the imaginary of the feminine compensates the bellow par output of the Negro artistic creation – as observed over the past years –, we also have to acknowledge the literarity of the independence novel arises from the symbolic death of the body, this body which is henceforth perceived as the future dictator of meaning. From the moment when the death of the body seems to be ratified, the poeticity of the Negro-African novel – in this case the texts of Ahmadou KOUROUMA as well as those of Sony LABOU TANSI – reconstructs itself without end, escapes any kind of determinism and any servile engagement, and offers itself to be read sometimes like all the aesthetic exploits accomplished by the texts studied and resembles the poetical lyricism, and at times like the passionate quest of the sensations, but most above all, like the misappropriation of a remarkable work of art from the authority of its official author (owner)

Abstract:
Ce travail est une étude des évolutions propres au roman policier rapportées au glissement de la modernité vers la postmodernité et de leur transposition dans la représentation du social propre à cette forme romanesque. Après deux premiers points préalables respectivement consacrés au développement genres que du roman policier – avec dans cet ordre le roman policier archaïque, le romanà énigme, le roman noir et enfin le néo-polar – depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle et à une mise en perspective des concepts de modernité et de postmodernité, il s’articule autour de trois axes choisis grâce auxquels pourra être établi le lien entre dimension évolutive du roman policier et substitution progressive de la modernité à la postmodernité. Ce lien n’est toutefois pas exclusif et il souligne un rapport d’interpénétration préalable entre les différents concepts.La première partie est consacrée à la notion de décomposition qu’elle étudie à différents niveaux : le premier est le niveau diégétique avec la décomposition narrative. Le roman policier est en effet souvent lié, par l’intermédiaire d’une énigme, à un mode de narration spécifique qui est explicité dans toute son ampleur et rapporté notamment à la notion de structure et de rapport au temps chronologique. Le deuxième point est consacré à la décomposition de la langue. C’est ainsi qu’il analyse les notions de langue au niveau diégétique et les relations entre parole et pouvoir au niveau intradiégétique, ainsi que les implications du pouvoir de la langue et de la parole sur l’image du social.Le troisième et dernier point de cette première partie est consacré à la décomposition du social que renvoie sa représentation via le prisme fictionnel. Il s’arrête plus spécifiquement, dans cet ordre, sur la représentation de l’autorité, sur les définitions des rapports sociaux et enfin sur son positionnement vis-à-vis du politique.La deuxième partie est consacrée aux mythologies du roman policier, aussi bien à celles qui lui sont propres qu’aux substrats qu’il réemploie, ce pour déterminer les modalités de repositionnement de ces éléments. Le premier est l’urbain : après une analyse des hypotextes mythologiques autour de l’urbain et de son rapport à l’humain, il est fait état des réalités socio-historiques liant urbanisation et criminalité avant que ne soit étudiée la redistribution de l’espace au sein de la sphère fictionnelle,notamment autour des concepts d’affect et d’appartenance. Le second est le social, qui est étudié aussi bien au niveau de son implantation idéologique que de son positionnement narratif, ainsi que des tensions sociales qui apparaissent dans la représentation, tensions qui culminent avec l’usage de la violence à différents niveaux. Enfin, le troisième élément est l’humain, qui bénéficie d’une évolution marquée dans son traitement via les figures humaines incarnées dans les personnages de la narration<br>This paper is a study of the specific way in which the detective novel has evolved within thecontext of the shift from modernity to postmodernity, and of the manner in which its evolution isreflected within the social element that is peculiar to this fictional format. The paper tackles twoinitial aspects, the first being devoted to the development of the detective novel genre since the mid-nineteenth century, including that of its sub-genres, the roman policier archaïque, the whodunit, theroman noir and finally the neo-polar, and the second seeking to put into perspective the concepts ofmodernity and postmodernity. The focus then turns to three selected themes, which enables a link to beestablished between the evolution of the detective novel and the gradual shift from modernity topostmodernity. However, the link is not exclusive, and the paper emphasises the earlier interactionbetween the different concepts.The first section is devoted to the concept of deconstruction, which is studied at different levels,the first being the diegetic level including narrative deconstruction. In fact, the detective novel isfrequently associated with a specific method of narration, based on a conundrum, the full extent ofwhich is explained with particular reference to the concept of structure and relationship withchronological time. The second point deals with the deconstruction of the language. In doing so, itanalyses the concepts of language at a diegetic level and the relationships between the word andpower at an intradiegetic level, together with the implications of the power of language and the wordon the representation of the social context. The third and final point within this first section is devotedto the deconstruction of the social context that is reflected by its representation through the prism offiction. It focuses more specifically, in the following order, on the representation of authority, thedefinitions of social relationships and its position vis-à-vis politics

Abstract:
This thesis discusses for the first time the reception of higher level Greek in everyday prose in second- to sixth-century Egypt. It offers insights into the strategies of composition in stylistically ambitious non-literary sources, and investigates the use of select high-level language varieties. It thus contributes to research on stylistic registers in post-classical Greek. In Chapter One, the objectives of thesis are set out, and the methodologies used in assessing evidence are outlined. Chapter Two explores competence as a prerequisite for good performance. The linguistic characteristics of grammar as taught in contemporary schools are analysed in detail to determine the constituents of language competence of educated individuals. Greek theories of the epistolary style are discussed at length to define the normative stylistic context within which well-educated individuals produced their correspondence. Chapter Three examines the impact of two high-level language varieties, viz. purism and poetic language. The phenomenon of severe puristic intervention is explored by analysing two test cases. The interaction between attitudes to extreme puristic variants and the weighting of non-puristic elements is discussed, and the existence of widely varied puristic profiles is demonstrated within each genre. Loans from poetic language are shown to be equally subject to various patterns of usage, depending upon either external determinants such as context or the writer's particular psychological motivations. Focusing on private correspondence, Chapter Four illustrates the main strategies of stylistic refinement from a selection of contemporary letters. The capacity of handling the tools of high level Greek is occasionally inferior to the writers' ambitions, and the selected strategies of refinement differed in conformity with the rhetorical norms proposed by known epistolary theorists. Compositional choices disagreeing with these seem to depend partly on rhetorically-motivated acts, partly on sheer ignorance of the requirements of rhetoric.

Nous examinons les spécificités poétiques et éthiques de l'écriture contemporaine de l'enfance dans huit romans de Martin Amis, A.S. Byatt, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro et Doris Lessing, mesurant son évolution depuis les origines romantiques de l'enfant littéraire. L'approche choisie combine la précision textuelle de la narratologie, le souci éthique des cultural studies, et l'apport conceptuel de la théorie critique (Barthes, Deleuze, Derrida, et Levinas) sur le signe, l'éthique, et la représentation du corps, afin de mettre au jour l'aliénation poétique et sémiotique subie par l'enfant. En adaptant la méthodologie des études de genre, féministes et postcoloniales à la figure de l'enfant, on s'aperçoit que celui-ci a longtemps été construit comme un signe surdéterminé jusqu'au non-sens, les mécanismes du désir adulte mettant en péril sa constitution en sujet, et conditionnant la poétique des œuvres qui l'accueillent. La notion de trace (chez Derrida et Ricœur) est décisive pour conceptualiser ces formes de kidnapping poétique ; complétée par une analyse narratologique de la parole de l'enfant, des choix de focalisation et de genre de ces romans, elle souligne la nature toujours déjà faussée de l'écriture de l'enfant. Cette étude cartographie également le « sauvetage » paradoxal orchestré par le roman postmoderne à l'endroit de l'enfant-signe, souvent inversé en une visibilité ob-scène du corps, sôma paraissant seul pouvoir contrer sèma. La figure de l'enfant-poète rappelle quant à elle le poids pérenne des mythes romantiques : revisitée par les romanciers contemporains, elle leur permet de mieux poser la question (auto)critique d'une nouvelle éthique de la fiction<br>This study examines the poetical and ethical aspects of writing childhood in eight contemporary British novels by Martin Amis, A.S. Byatt, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro and Doris Lessing. It brings together the textual focus of narratology, the ethical concerns of cultural studies, and the conceptual work of French theory on signs, ethics, and the representation of the body (notably Barthes, Deleuze, Derrida, and Levinas) in order to identify the poetic and semiotic alienation undergone by the child figure. Adapting the tools of feminist, gender, and postcolonial studies to look at the figure of the child in the context of child-writing since its Romantic origins allows us to further stress the poet(h)ical difficulties of writing childhood. The child has indeed been repeatedly set up as a contradictory, self-cancelling sign, a repository of adult meaning and desire, which not only hinders character development but also affects the poetical structure of these works. The concept of trace as defined by Derrida and Ricœur is key to an understanding of this recurrent poetical kidnapping, as are narratological analyses of child-centred language, focalization, and genre, highlighting the often fallacious nature of representation. This study sets out to make sense of the paradoxical postmodern “rescue” of the child-turned-sign played out in contemporary fiction, which often amounts to an extreme foregrounding of its grotesque body, as sôma competes with sèma. The Romantic association of the child with the figure of the poet also comes into focus, as contemporary novelists revisit the myth to reflect (self)critically on a new ethics of fiction

Abstract:
This thesis develops a model that can be used to assess the ability of religious institutions to contribute to post-conflict state building. Highlighting the tendency in state building literature to stop short in discussing what seems to be inferred, but unnameable—religion—the research proposes a framework that identifies theoretical mechanisms through which religious institutions can contribute to post-conflict state building. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam the thesis then reflects upon why they would, of their own accord, lend their considerable legitimacy and resources. The thesis diverges from traditional approaches such as rational choice theory that suggest religious institutions act to maximise membership or assets, and instead embraces a teleological view recognizing the importance of belief structures in understanding a religious institution's motivations. It embraces salvation as a hermeneutical key to outline a Roman Catholic theology of state building while drawing upon the concept of justice for Sunni Islam. The thesis concludes by incorporating the particularistic nuances of Bosnia and Herzegovina's unique historically and culturally influenced religious practices, structures and theologies to suggest the ability and willingness of the two religions' institutions to contribute to their country's state building.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA (Modern Foreign Languages))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigates the different forms of otherness and alterity (“Fremde”) in Bulgarian born German author, Ilija Trojanow’s novel, Der Weltensammler (2006). In this novel, alterity, as portrayed by Trojanow, is read as threatening and uncanny (“unheimlich”), on the one hand, and fascinating on the other. The novel, Der Weltensammler, translated by William Hobson and published under the title The Collector of Worlds (2008), narrates the life of the historical figure Sir Richard Francis Burton. Burton, a colonist, traveller and explorer, undertakes a journey across continents: British-India, Arabia and East Africa. As one of the first Europeans to do so, Burton - disguised and converted to Islam - undertakes a pilgrimage to Mecca. Like the title of the novel suggests, Burton is a contradictory man who not only collects worlds, but also obsessively adopts the cultures of the colonised. However, this British officer’s bizarre lifestyle and unusual ability to adapt to and adopt the foreign world raises certain questions regarding the relationship between coloniser and colonised. More importantly, he grapples with the portrayal of otherness. Throughout the novel both the narrator and a writer (the Lahiya) try to put together the pieces of Burton’s life. As the narrator warns in the preface of his novel, Burton remains an enigma. His antipodes are another historical figure, the former slave Sidi Mubarak Bombay and his servant Naukaram. Unlike in Burton’s and Stanley’s travel diaries where Bombay takes a marginalised position, he comes to the fore in Der Weltensammler. Though Burton appears to become part of the foreign world, it is the change of narrative perspectives between coloniser and colonised that puts their relation into question, thereby dissolving binary opposites. This thesis begins with a general discussion of the novel and its significance within German post-colonial literature. The study moves on to a discussion of the discourses surrounding the concept of alterity, identifying one key form of alterity, namely mimicry, a term borrowed from the theorist Homi K. Bhabha. The greater part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of the novel. The first part deals with the analysis of alterity and otherness by focussing attention on the portrayal of otherness as threatening and fascinating, the concept of mimicry, and finally, Burton’s transformation. The second part investigates the process of re-writing that takes place and the manner in which alterity is portrayed in the novel paying particular attention to the relation between author, writer and narrator. Following this analysis of alterity and its rewriting, this thesis moves to the more general question of how Ilija Trojanow’s novel, Der Weltensammler, functions as a refutation (Gegenschrift/Kampfabsage) of Samuel Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Relying on the words of Stephen Slemon, this study finally questions whether this novel can be read as another “scramble for post-colonialism”. Based on the theoretical framework developed on the concept of culture by Homi K. Bhabha on the one hand and the insights on cultures by Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski on the other, this study demonstrates how it is through the processes of revision and re-writing of literary borrowings, e.g. Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899), that the concept of alterity is redefined and the novel in itself gains a post-colonial voice. Furthermore, this thesis shows how otherness is deconstructed to such an extent that it is not difference that is highlighted, but instead a literary model for the co-existence of cultures.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is ‘n studie van die verskillende fasette van vreemde, die onbekende en alteriteit (“Fremde”) in die Duits-Bulgaarse skrywer, Ilija Trojanow se roman Der Weltensammler (2006). In hierdie roman word alteriteit, soos deur Trojanow uitgebeeld, gelees as bedreigend en unheimlich, en gelyktydig as fassinerend. Die Roman, Der Weltensammler, deur William Hobson vertaal as The Collector of Worlds (2008), beskryf die lewe van die historiese figuur Sir Richard Francis Burton. Hy onderneem as kolonis en ontdekkingsreisiger ‘n reis regoor verskeie kontinente: Brits-Indië, Arabië en Oos-Afrika. Vermom en bekeer tot Islam, onderneem hy as een van die eerste Europeërs ‘n pelgrimstog na Mekka. Soos deur die titel van die roman gesuggereer word, is Burton op sigself ’n ambivalente karakter wat nie net wêrelde nie, maar ook die kulture van die gekoloniseerdes approprieer. Dit is juis hierdie Britse offisier se vreemde leefstyl en buitengewone vermoë om die vreemde toe te eien, wat sekere vrae ten opsigte van die verhouding tussen die kolonisator en die gekoloniseerde laat ontstaan. Van grootste belang vir hierdie analise is veral die uitbeelding van die vreemde. Deurgaans poog die verteller en ‘n skribent (die Lahiya) om uitsluitsel oor Burton se lewe te kry. Soos die verteller alreeds in die voorwoord van sy roman waarsku, bly Burton egter ‘n enigma. Sy teenpole is die ander minder bekende historiese figuur, die gemarginaliseerde en voormalige slaaf Sidi Mubarak Bombay en sy bediende Naukaram. Anders as in onder andere Burton en Stanley se reisbeskrywings waar Bombay slegs ‘n randverskynsel is, kry hy nuwe betekenis in Trojanow se roman. Ofskoon Burton deel van die vreemde blyk te word, word die verhouding tussen die kolonisator en die gekoloniseerde veral bevraagteken deur die verandering van narratiewe perspektiewe. Terselfdertyd word binêre opposisies gedekonstrueer. Die tesis word ingelei deur ‘n algemene oorsig van die roman en sy betekenis binne die konteks van Duitse postkoloniale literatuur. Na afloop van die oorsig, volg ‘n bespreking van die diskoerse rondom die konsep alteriteit. Die klem val hier veral op een spesifieke vorm van alteriteit, naamlik mimiek, ‘n term ontleen aan die teoretikus Homi K. Bhabha. Die grootste deel van die tesis word gewy aan die analise van die roman. In die eerste deel van die analise word die konsep alteriteit onder die loep geneem. Die klem val hier veral op die uitbeelding van die vreemde as bedreigend en fassinerend, mimiek and laastens Burton se gedaanteverwisseling. Die tweede deel van die analise fokus deurentyd op die verhouding tussen die skrywer, skribent en verteller en bestudeer veral die herskrywingsproses (re-writing) wat plaasvind en die wyse waarop alteriteit beskryf word. Deur die loop van die studie volg die meer algemene vraagstuk van hoe Ilija Trojanow se roman Der Weltensammler beskou kan word as ‘n weerlegging (Gegenschrift/Kampfabsage) van Samuel Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Laastens word op Stephen Slemon se algemene vraagstuk gesteun of die roman beskou kan word as ‘n “scramble for postcolonialism”. Hierdie analise word volgens die teoretiese raamwerke van twee outeurs nl. Homi K. Bhabha en die Poolse verslaggewer Ryszard Kapuscinski ondersoek. Dit is veral deur die proses revisie en die herskrywing van literêre ontlenings, bv. Joseph Conrad se Heart of Darkness (1899), dat die begrip alteriteit geherdefinieer word en die roman op sigself ‘n postkoloniale perspektief inneem.Vervolgens word die begrippe vreemde en alteriteit tot so ‘n mate gedekonstrueer deurdat die aandag nie op ongelykheid val nie, maar ‘n literêre model vir die naasbestaan van kulture ontskep word.

Deloney, a writer who never had his due. A humanistic approach aims at complementing objective criteria. A tentative sketch of the "ballad-maker" sets him on the literary and social background; it enhances the author's merit in his attempt at noteworthy literature. A study of the diversified handling of the ballad shows how the transition from ballad-making to true poetry is achieved. The personal case is treated in relation to the contemporary poetical context. Special interest is found in the illustration of concrete poetic "workmanship". The analysis of the movels shows how the merging of jestbook tradition and courtois romance evolves into a novel of daily life, linked to the artisan's concerns, depicting bourgeois or ordinary heroes. Incipient realistic trends are traced; stress is laid on the scenic quality. An ultimate study deals with economic, social and moral aspects. The elizabethan citizen is delineated in deloney's views concerning labour, the city, religion, the state - a spirit emphasized in an environment of religious and political struggle

Abstract:
Au cours des trois premiers siècles de notre ère, Rome connaît son apogée et la domination romaine continue de s'établir tout autour de la Méditerranée. Le contrôle de la Mare Nostrum et la connexion entre Rome et ses provinces sont assurés grâce aux réseaux de ports. À l’époque impériale, les ports jouent ainsi un rôle crucial puisqu’ils permettent de maintenir un rayonnement économique et commercial tout autour de l’Empire. Plus qu’une simple interface entre la mer et laterre, les ports font l’objet d’une attention particulière et forment un réel paysage urbain, constitué de bâtiments et de monuments organisés autour de l’espace portuaire de façon scénographique et programmée, que l’on peut qualifier de « portscape » (paysage portuaire). Cette notion théorique, que j’ai développée dans cette thèse, est dérivée du concept de «townscape » (paysage de la ville) introduit par P. Zanker dans sa publication sur l’urbanisme de Pompéi publiée en 19981. Elle consiste à analyser l’organisation spatiale des bâtiments et monuments, individuellement et dans l’ensemble de l’espace portuaire, ainsi que leurs fonctions respectives. Cette approche a également pour objectif d’étudier la relation entre la fabrication de cet espace urbain et la société. Cette réflexion holistique est combinée au concept de « maritimecultural landscape » (paysage culturel maritime), introduit par C. Westerdhal en 19922, qui permet d’aborder les aspects culturels de cet espace construit constituant le cadre de vie des sociétés portuaires et de leurs activités.Le développement disciplinaire de l’archéologie sous-marine et l’intérêt croissant pour les réseaux et le commerce maritime ont mené à la multiplication des études portant sur les infrastructures portuaires au cours des dernières décennies. Malgré cela, la réalité des infrastructures portuaires reste assez mal comprise car les vestiges ne sont généralement pas très bien conservés. Il est donc fondamental d’utiliser d’autres types de sources, comme l’iconographie,pour mieux appréhender les « portscapes » romains. Sous l’Empire, les ports apparaissent fréquemment dans les représentations artistiques. Au cours de cette recherche, j’ai rassemblé un corpus de 264 images portuaires sur des supports variés : lampes, monnaies, peintures, mosaïques, sculptures, verres incisés, pierres gravées etc. Sur ces documents figurent des vues générales de paysages maritimes, des éléments architecturaux isolés de ports (tels que des phares) et des activités portuaires suggérant les infrastructures portuaires (comme des scènes de pesée ou bien des scènes de chargement/déchargement de marchandises). Bien que l’essentiel du corpus date de l’époque impériale, l’intégration de documents appartenant aux périodes préromaines et à l’Antiquité tardive permet d’établir des comparaisons diachroniques.Cette recherche constitue la première tentative d’évaluation, à grande échelle, du potentiel documentaire des sources iconographiques pour comprendre l'aspect, la disposition et le design des ports romains. Considérer les images comme sources historiques est un concept assez récent puisque l'art, longtemps considéré comme étant simplement illustratif, n’occupait qu’une place marginale dans les études d’histoire ancienne. Les images peuvent apporter, en effet, unecontribution importante pour l'étude de l'aspect architectural et urbain des principaux ports de Méditerranée car elles montrent ce qui n'existe plus archéologiquement, telles que les élévations de bâtiments portuaires, souvent réduits aujourd’hui à leurs seuls niveaux de fondations. Ainsi, cette thèse de doctorat soulève les questions de recherche suivantes : - Quelle contribution l'iconographie peut-elle apporter à notre compréhension des paysagesportuaires de l’époque impériale ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques du portscape romain selon les sources iconographiques ? Quels sont les éléments réels et quels sont les éléments standardisés ? D’où viennent cesstandards ?<br>Under the Roman Empire, harbours played an important role for the image of the city. They were more than utilitarian constructions. The buildings and monuments were organised within the space of the port in a programmatic way that made up a genuine urban landscape that I have described as a “portscape”. This term, derived from Zanker’s townscape concept, is understood as the urban aspect, layout and design of Roman ports but also as the lived environment with its societies reflected by its cultural characteristics. Despite recent excavations conducted at Roman ports, our knowledge of portscapes under the Roman Empire is very unclear and the reality of port monuments remains poorly understood. Most known ancient Mediterranean ports are not well preserved, and often only preserved archaeologically at the level of their foundations. Whilearchaeologists are able to reconstruct a plan, understanding ports three dimensionally is at best a challenge. What did Roman ports really look like?Due to the lack of ancient sources relating to Roman ports, using iconography could be useful. This research aims to demonstrate that port depictions, quite abundant during the Imperial period and decorating various type of artistic media (coins, ceramics, mosaics, paintings, gemstones etc.), can make an important contribution for learning more about ports as they are the only source of information that allows us to understand volumetrically, the architecture of portsthat no longer survives archaeologically.Through this work, I will see how the pictorial genre of maritime landscape emerged during the Augustan period as well as the process of its diffusion, reception and standardisation in art during the Imperial period. I will also address the issue of the contexts in which port-themed decoration has been found. I will focus on the main characteristics of portscapes by means of a linguistic approach that distinguishes the different messages conveyed by images according to their contexts (domestic, funeral, politics, etc.).By means of three specific case studies, I will demonstrate how it is possible to deal with the iconographic and epigraphic evidence in order to better understand the components of Roman portscapes. Case-study 1 focuses on the weighing control systems (sacomaria). Case-study 2 studies the single monuments that decorated the portscape, such as freestanding column monuments and honorific arches. Case-study 3 aims to better understand cult spaces in portcontexts by using the example of the sanctuaries of Isis.Finally, I will focus on the urban syntax of the portscape through the case-study of the port of Leptis Magna. Enquiry will ascertain the extent to which the urban programme of its portscape corresponded to a standard design in reality and in iconography

Dans notre étude, il nous importe de préciser les éléments descriptifs, naturels et architecturaux, ou les visions du décor servant de cadres aux romans médiévaux. Avec une grande économie de moyens, la langue médiévale dit tout sur le sujet. En effet le stéréotype fonctionne toujours parfaitement, mais nous avons aussi de belles, brèves – mais énergiques – descriptions de châteaux et de villes. Les éléments du paysage peuvent s'ordonner en un panorama cohérent qui sait se mettre au service de l'action. Répondant aux nécessités du récit et sous forme de mentions généralement brèves, nous voyons apparaître peu à peu les éléments constitutifs des décors, naturels et urbains. Les rapides indications sont celles qui font apparaître le mieux la réalité d'un château ou d'une ville des XIIe et XIIIe siècles, telle qu'un romancier pouvait les présenter et les donner à voir à son public<br>For a reader of medieval narratives the literary of the scenery, is in the first place an imaginary experience introduced by the act of reading and only subsequently it serves the role of an instrument necessary to reconstruct the image. In the present study, I discuss and reflect upon the natural and architectural elements of description and also the visions of the scenery recurrent in the medieval novel. The medieval language is extremely efficient in its descriptions of subject. The stereotypes are ever present, though punctuated by beautiful, short, yet vivid, descriptions of castles and cities. The elements of the landscape at times form a coherent panoramic setting for the action. Brief descriptions and mentions of the elements of the scenery, both natural and urban, appear as they are called for by the narrative. Such short indications appear to best show the reality of the castles or cities of XII and XIII century

Abstract:
Dans ma thèse, je propose une approche stylistique, fondée sur la linguistique cognitive, pour l'étude de la représentation littéraire de l'hybridité identitaire dans quatre romans francophones postcoloniaux écrits par des femmes : 'Georgette !' de l'écrivaine "beure" Farida Belghoul, 'En attendant le bonheur' de l'auteure guadeloupéenne Maryse Condé, 'L'amour, la fantasia' de l'écrivaine algérienne Assia Djebar et 'Tu t'appelleras' des théories cognitives sur la métaphore et l'intégration de concepts et en particulier l'intégration de concepts métaphoriques. Dans le deuxième chapitre sur 'Georgette !', je mets en évidence que la narratrice-enfant, fille d'Algériens à Paris, ne peut construire une identité propre à cause de concepts identitaires contradictoires. Dans le troisième chapitre sur 'En attendant le bonheur', je soutiens que l'"éternel retour" de la protagoniste guadeloupéenne au colionalisme et à l'esclavage est figuré par son usage récurrent du métalangage. Dans le quatrième chapitre sur 'L'amour, la fantasia' d'Assia Djebar, le concept de guerre est central à l'auteure pour la définition et la représentation de son identité de femme et d'écrivaine algérienne. Dans le cinquième chapitre, j'examine 'Tu t'appelleras Tanga' et je montre que la romancière subvertit le concept de "destinée" féminine avec le concept de "progrès" où la femme africaine contrôle son existence. L'approche cognitive me permet de décrire linguistiquement l'hybridité textuelle et de revendiquer la reconnaissance des romans francophones en tant que productions culturelles et formelles complexes.

L'objectif de ce travail consiste dans la mise en lumière et la description d'une certaine forme littéraire que nous définissons comme «roman paranoïaque»: il s'agit de grandes oeuvres en prose de Fiodor Sologoub, Rêves lourds et Démon mesquin ainsi que de celles d'Andreï Biély, La Colombe d'argent, Pétersbourg, Carnets d'un toqué, Moscou. Le roman paranoïaque reproduit le processus de connaissance déficiente, réalisée par le héros et transformée par l’auteur en une réalité délirante, c’est-à-dire romanesque. L’objet de notre étude est la stratégie symboliste d'utilisation d’un certain modèle clinique dans le but de lui donner un sens métaphysique, mystique, mythologique, esthétique et de la transmuer en une poétique. Nous aborderons également des textes de Vladimir Nabokov que nous nous proposons de présenter comme un reflet parodique et une étape postsymboliste de cette tradition<br>The aim of this study is to extract and describe a literary form which we define as a “paranoid novel”. We attribute this form to Heavy dreams and Petty daemon by Fyodor Sologub and Silver dove, Diary of a crank, Petersburg and Moscow by Andrey Belyï. A paranoid novel reproduces a process of a deficient learning of a hero. The author converts this process into a delirious reality i.e. a reality of novel. Our study is focused on the symbolistic strategy which confers a specifcic meaning to a relevant clinical model. This metaphysical, mystical, mythological, aesthetical meaning transforms the model yielding poetics. We study Nabokov’s texts as well in order to provide an insight into their parodying and post-symbolistic developing of the tradition

Abstract:
A partir d'œuvres s'inscrivant dans une période qui va de 1968 à 1988 et dont les auteurs sont camerounais, congolais, guinéens, maliens sénégalais et zaïrois, est cernée une question essentielle pour toute recherche sur la littérature en général, et plus précisément sur la littérature africaine contemporaine: celle des rapports entre la réalité et la fiction : le réel africain (politique ici) est là, mais il est transpose, "transfigure" même parfois par l'écriture et le travail de l'écrivain. Aussi, les trois parties de la thèse s'organisent-elles autour de l'étude de divers procèdes d'écriture : l'espace (et les itinéraires parcourus) , les personnages (présidents, intellectuels et autres antihéros) et le temps des récits, au centre de la première partie, apparaissent comme redimensionnes par le travail de l'imaginaire et intimement lies a la diérèse et au thème central de contestation des indépendances truquées. Ainsi, apparait déjà un outil d'interprétation essentiel : celui d'écart : le mode de représentation de l'histoire est en désaccord total avec les mécanismes de la représentation réaliste. La deuxième partie porte sur des discours "étrangers" au texte romanesque et insères dans la fiction (éléments de documentation, articles de presse) : ils permettent, avec les différentes manifestations de l'intertextualité, de brouiller les "effets de réel", d'estomper les frontières entre les genres littéraires, entre oralité et écriture; de plus, le déplacement de certains mythes, la transgression de renonciation traditionnelle, la présence d'autres formes d'expression - peinture (le grotesque), musique, théâtre - et les dérives fantastiques et carnavalesques renforcent le pouvoir de la fable. La subversion et la distorsion sont des notions fondamentales pour la troisieme partie, qui s'intéresse plus particulièrement au travail de l'écrivain (système de métaphorisation, proverbes, motifs baroques et burlesques, etc. ) se met en place une esthétique nouvelle investissant la langue de références inhabituelles empruntées le plus souvent a la culture africaine. Existe également une ambivalence des mots, concept le plus a même peut-être de rendre compte de la signification d'ensemble de ces romans. Au terme de cette étude, se dégagent les sens pluriels qui naissent de cette jonction en texte du réel et de l'imaginaire et de cette écriture du métissage et de la rup

Abstract:
To Carry History in One’s Body – Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome in Toni Morrison’s Novel The Bluest Eye. The world in which we live in is dominated by ideology. This essay will explore the ideology of racism and investigates how it operated during and after the slave trade in the USA. The main focus is how the racist ideology has affected the black community in the USA during the first decades of the twentieth century. When the traumatic events of the slave trade ended the black community never got the chance to heal from the several hundred years long trauma. Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eye depicts a community in pain due to the racist society that surrounds them. It is set in a time after the First World War when black families aimed to establish a stable life but were hindered due to various reasons. Therefore, this essay uses Joy DeGruy’s thoughts on the matter of trauma in the black community in the USA. By using her book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy Of Enduring Injury and Healing along with Frantz Fanon’s iconic text Black Skin, White Masks this essay investigates how the legacy of slavery has affected the black community after the slave trade. This essay looks into the following behavioral patterns, formulated by DeGruy: Vacant Esteem, Ever Present Anger and Racist Socialization.<br>Världen domineras av ideologier. Denna uppsats utforskar rasismens ideologi både under och efter slavhandeln i USA. Uppsatsens huvudfokus är hur den rasistiska ideologin har påverkat den svarta befolkningen i USA under nittonhundratalets första årtionden. När slaveriets trauma tog slut fick det svarta samhället aldrig chansen att bearbeta och läka det flera hundra år långa traumat. Toni Morrisons roman The Bluest Eye skildrar ett samhälle som präglas av smärta till följd av en rasistisk omgivning. Romanen utspelar sig efter första världskriget, en tid då svarta familjer ämnade etablera ett stabilt liv men som av olika anledningar hindrades. Denna uppsats använder Joy DeGruys tankar om trauma hos det svarta samhället i USA. Hennes bok Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy Of Enduring Injury and Healing tillsammans med Frantz Fanons nyckeltext Black Skin, White Masks används i denna uppsats för att undersöka hur slaveriet påverkat det svarta samhället efter dess avskaffande. Uppsatsen tittar närmare på följande beteendemönster, som formulerats av DeGruy: Vacant Esteem, Ever Present Anger och Racist Socialization.

Abstract:
La Partition de l’Inde (1947) et la Guerre de libération du Bangladesh (1971) sont deux moments de transition qui exposent la violence de constructions nationales post-coloniales. Les actes perpétrés sur une base ethno-religieuse ont donné lieu à des récits privés pourtant occultés au profit de récits nationaux hégémoniques auto-légitimants. Ces récits attestent tout particulièrement de l’instrumentalisation de figures et de corps de femmes comme lieu de marquage de conflits communautaires. Face au silence imposé par les divers appareils d’État patriarcaux, trois générations de romancières ont cherché à renverser les récits hégémoniques en Inde, au Pakistan et au Bangladesh, par le biais d’une fiction romanesque caractérisée par son incoercibilité et son engagement féministe. Leur écriture de fiction répond à la violence de la fracture de l’Histoire par une poétique de la fragmentation, dont le tout dresse un portrait obscène, monstrueux et carnavalesque de la formation d’États-nations contemporains. Cette écriture romanesque, qu’elle soit sous-continentale ou diasporique, résiste à toute forme de frontières (idéologiques, littéraires, commerciales, etc.), et se consolide par sa prise de position à la fois complexe et engagée. La poétique de fragmentation est amenée par des phénomènes linguistiques, littéraires, sociologiques et politiques. Ce corpus se compose de romans couvrant l’ensemble de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, publiés (chronologiquement) par Jyotirmoyee Devi, Anis Kidwai, Mumtaz Shah Nawaz, Attia Hosain, Amrita Pritam, Sophia Mustafa, Bapsi Sidhwa, Anita Rau Badami , Shauna Singh Baldwin Meena Arora Nayak, Sorayya Khan, Kamila Shamsie et Tahmima Anam<br>The Partition of India (1947) and the Bangladesh Liberation War (1971) are two transitory moments which reveal the violence of post-colonial nation-building. The acts performed upon an ethno-religious basis have given rise to many private stories, themselves stifled by self-legitimating national master narratives. These stories particularly highlight the instrumentalisation of the idea and the bodies of women in carrying out communal conflict. Three generations of women novelists have sought to break the silence imposed by patriarchal State apparatuses and religious radicalism. They turn to the impetuousness of the literary genre of the novel in order to thwart Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi master narratives. As such they write back to the violent fracture of History, through a poetics of the fragment, and together draw an obscene, monstrous and carnival-like portrait of contemporary Nation-States. Such novels, whether sub-continental or diasporic, resist all forms of borders (whether ideological, literary, commercial, etc.), driven instead by their commitment to contradiction. The fragmentation which defines them is all at once linguistic, literary, sociological and political. Our study comprises novels written (chronologically) by Jyotirmoyee Devi, Anis Kidwai, Mumtaz Shah Nawaz, Attia Hosain, Amrita Pritam, Sophia Mustafa, Bapsi Sidhwa, Anita Rau Badami , Shauna Singh Baldwin Meena Arora Nayak, Sorayya Khan, Kamila Shamsie and Tahmima Anam

This essay analyzes the Austrian author Ingeborg Bachmann’s novel Malina (1971) from two theoretical perspectives: Freudian trauma theory and poststructuralist feminism, as formulated by Julia Kristeva in Revolution in Poetic Language (1974). Both of these standpoints manages to explain one of the main issues in Malina, that is, how to give voice to that which escapes language. By arguing that the nameless narrator, Ich (I), has been traumatized by patriarchal structures, I show how these perspectives complement rather than exclude each other. Together they manage to give a new and more complete picture of the struggle for language depicted in the novel.<br><p>Godkänt datum 2021-06-01</p>

After a extensive survey of the studies on this subject and their sources and paradigms, the following chapters discuss the Athenian spatial interventions made by or in association with Hellenistic kings, Roman rulers and the imperial family. It is argued that these interventions formed different urban programs with specific spatial logics; and each urban program must dialogue with the earlier ones to assert its own logic. More than a mere metaphor of political history, the spatial history of Late Hellenistic and Early Roman Athens is taken as part of the material culture by which imperial and local political structures (re)produced themselves, in the context of specific Mediterraneans process of integration.

Abstract:
Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project comprises the design, analysis, and construction of a Rotman lens with reduced conjugate-port coupling. The Rotman lens is a beam-forming network, used in wide-angle scanners to feed an antenna array. The scanning operation is based on optics and is therefore frequency invariant, a desirable feature of the Rotman lens compared to other beam-forming networks which employ phase shifters. The antenna array is connected to the lens's array ports via transmission lines. These array ports lie on the array contour which is designed so that a signal incident onto the antenna array will propagate into the lens and focus at a particular point. The position of this focal point depends on the signals direction of arrival at the array. Ports are placed on these focal points to feed and receive signals. Bootlace lenses allow up to four focal points for linear arrays whereas the Rotman lens is designed for three foci. Scanners usually require to scan many beam-widths, thus ports are employed along a focal arc which intersect these foci. Inter-focal ports do not focus perfectly and result in phase errors distributed across the array aperture. The derivation of three and four foci lenses is provided. There are several degrees of freedom at the designer's disposal, the e ect which these available parameters have on the lens geometry and phase errors is investigated. The waveguide implementa- tion of these lenses is examined, in which we use vertically polarised horns as feed ports and coaxial probes as array ports. Some designs of Rotman lenses published in literature show excess mutual cou- pling between symmetrically opposed feed ports. Using a model which approximates the array contour as a re ecting wall, we show that this is due to the re ected energy focusing on conjugate ports. It is identi ed that Rotman lenses designed for mini- mum phase errors will have near maximum conjugate-port coupling. Two Rotman lenses have been designed at 3; 5GHz for ve feed ports, eleven elements, and up to 30 scan angles. The rst is designed for minimum phase errors, and the second for the defocusing of the re ected energy from the focal arc. Simulations show up to a 10dB reduction in conjugate-port coupling for the second lens with a negligible degradation in performance from the phase errors. Measurements show that the re ected energy is spread between the feed ports as expected, compared to the focusing at a single port of the traditional Rotman lens.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie projek behels die ontwerp, analise en konstruksie van 'n Rotmanlens met verminderde simmetries oorstaande poort koppeling. Die Rotmanlens is 'n patroon- vormingsnetwerk wat gebruik word as samestellingvoer in wye hoek skandeerders. 'n Gewensde eienskap van die Rotmanlens bo faseskuif voernetwerke is dat die skan- deerwerking gebasseer is op optika en dus frekwensie onafhanklik is. Die antennasamestelling word deur transmissielyne verbind aan die antennapoorte van die lens. Hierdie poorte l^e op die samestellingkontoer wat ontwerp is om te verseker dat seine wat inval op die antennasamestelling sal voortplant in die lens en fokus op 'n spesi eke punt. Die posisie van die fokuspunt hang af van die invalshoek van die sein op die samestelling. Poorte word op hierdie fokuspunte geplaas om te seine te ontvang en te lanseer. Hierdie tipe lense kan tot vier fokuspunte h^e , waar die Rotman lens spesi ek vir drie fokuspunte ontwerp word. Skandeerders moet normaalweg etlike bundelwydtes wyd kan skandeer, en daarom word poorte geplaas op 'n straal wat die fokuspunte onderskep. Poorte wat weg van die fokus geplaas word toon 'n e ens uit fokus gedrag, wat vertaal na fasefoute in die samestelling stralingsvlak. Die a eiding van drie en vier fokus lense word verskaf. Daar is verskeie grade van vryheid tot die beskikking van die ontwerper, en die e ek wat die beskikbare parameters op die geometrie van die lens en die fase foute het word ondersoek. Die gol eier implimetering van hierdie lense word beskryf, waar vertikaal gepolariseerde horings as voerpoorte, en ko-aksiale lyne as antennapoorte gebruik word. Sommige Rotman lens ontwerpe in die literatuur toon beduidende koppeling tussen die simmetries oorstaande voerpoorte. Deur van 'n model gebruik te maak wat die samestellingkontoer as 'n weerkaatsende muur benader toon ons aan dat die koppeling geskied as gevolg van die weerkaatsde energie wat fokus in die simme- tries oorstaande poorte. Dit word identi seer dat Rotman lense wat vir minimum fasefoute ontwerp word bykans maksimum koppeling tussen simmetries oorstaande poorte tot gevolg het. Twee Rotman lense is ontwerp by 3; 5GHz vir vyf voerpoorte, elf antenna ele- mente en skandeer hoeke van 30. Die eerste is ontwerp vir minimum fasefoute en die tweede vir uit fokus weerkaatsde energie vanuit die fokus straal. Simulasies toon tot 10 dB vermindering in koppeling tussen simmetries oorstaande poorte vir die tweede lens met weglaatbare werkverrigting verswakking as gevolg van fasefoute. Metings toon dat die weerkaatsde energie, soos verwag, versprei word tussen die voerpoorte vergeleke met energie gefokus in 'n enkele poort soos by die tradisionele Rotman lens.
