Full textAbstract:
Images of the American West in Britain became prevalent in British popular culture during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. This popularity arose out of the shared ethic of the Anglo myth. This myth was based upon the confidence gained from a growing industrial complex and the application of the Christian "Genesis" to the new Edens, the American West and the British Empire.
The Anglo myth could be found in British adventure novels set in both the West and empire. "Buffalo Bill" Cody used it in his Wild West, and Samuel Franklin Cody utilized it in his frontier melodramas as well as in creating his own flamboyant self-image.
The continued existence of romantic, western imagery raises questions concerning myth and reality in the formation of thought about both the American frontier and the British Empire.

"Church, gospel and empire : a theological enquiry into the manner in which empire has impacted ecclesial formation and displaced originary gospel principles in the course of church history, indicating an alternative direction for future theology and praxis." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.587485.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation will argue that at an early stage in ecclesiastical history, the tradition's founding and constituent principles were betrayed by a complicity with the prevailing politics of sovereignty. This has led to a recasting of divine transcendence in terms of sovereign power and a displacement of Christianity by Christendom, from which the Western church has not recovered. The thesis follows the contours of contemporary theologians who seek to explain a dislocation between faith and socio- political life in terms of a fall in early modernity, but proposes that the earlier compromise represents a more decisive and determinative fall. In order to trace the genealogy of this compromise, the dissertation will examine its various manifestations in four synchronic historical studies. These are the third/fourth century writings of Eusebius of Caesarea; the early thirteenth century careers of Pope Innocent III and Emperor Frederick Il; the late seventeenth-century latitudinarianism of William Ill, Gilbert Burnet and the associated founding of the Bank of England; and the contemporary expression of what Hardt and Negri have termed 'Empire' and the rise of the politics of biopower. Through this genealogy, the historical alignment of the Christian church with the mundane politics of sovereign power will be demonstrated. The contemporary significance of this alignment, it will be argued, is that the Christian church is robbed of any political emancipatory potential. The final section of the dissertation will gesture towards ways in which theology may recover such a potential. Drawing on an alternative theological configuration which will already have been intimated in the four studies, the final section will develop an innovative Christological configuration of kenosis or what is termed 'kenarchy.' This will provide a re-imagining of the divine distinct from its implication with imperial sovereignty which could allow theology to make a more effective contemporary political intervention.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aims to reveal the credit practice in Galata region in seventeenth century, through dealing with the credit relations between religious groups and the position of women in economic relations as the main themes. Galata was one of the most important international trade ports in seventeenth century for not only the Otoman Empire but also the Mediterranean region. While it was expected that the credit organization in Galata should be different than the ones of priorly studied cities of Anatoli, Kayseri and Bursa, as a result of the combination of multinational structure of the region and its important trade port characteristics, it is seen that Galata was similar to the other cities with regard to the credit organization.
Paralel to the results of other studies, it is observed that money exchange between religious groups was intensive and both Muslim and non-Muslim women were actively involved in economic life, by analyzing court records that belonged to the seventeenth century. The existance of credit relations without heed to religious or gender differences proved the existance of trust feeling between the groups. Like the previous studies about the practice of credit and credit organization in other Ottoman cities, this thesis attempts to help to understand the socio- economic structure of the Otoman society.

Cette thèse étudie, dans toute leur complexité et leur variabilité, les pratiques funéraires au sein du territoire de Forum Iulii (commune actuelle de Fréjus), l’une des civitas de la Province de Narbonnaise définie par Auguste à la fin du Ier siècle av. n. è. Il s’inscrit sur une période chronologique longue riche en bouleversements socio-culturels (Ier s.- IVe s. de n.è.), propre à révéler l’évolution de ces pratiques et ainsi d’appréhender la relation qu’entretiennent les individus et/ou les groupes sociaux avec leurs traditions funéraires. Ce cadre spatio-temporel est également choisi pour sa cohérence et sa richesse documentaire. L’étude est basée sur une approche interdisciplinaire,entre archéologie et anthropologie biologique. Les paramètres étudiés, selon cette double perspective, participent conjointement à une lecture individuelle puis globale des sépultures et des ensembles funéraires afin de restituer les pratiques et l’influence des facteurs socio-culturels sur le traitement des morts. Le recours à ces deux disciplines garantit une compréhension optimale des systèmes de représentations sociales propres à une communauté face au décès de l’un de ses membres. L’analyse des restes osseux humains (âge au décès, sexe, état sanitaire), mais également celle des restes matériels (ensemble de dépôts associés, architecture de la sépulture, mode d’implantation traitement du corps, etc.) constituent les outils incontournables de l’archéologie de la mort qui vise alors à contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des populations antiques grâce à une approche bioculturelle<br>This study aims to understand, in all their complexity and variability, the funerary practices of the territory of Forum Iulii (Fréjus), one of the civitas of the Gallia Narbonnensis, defined by Auguste at the end of the 1st century.

This spatio-temporal framework is also chosen for its coherence and documentary richness. The study is based on an archaeothanatology approach, between archeology and biological anthropology.

The human bones analysis (age and sex determination, health status), but also the study of the material (set of deposits, burial architecture, implantation of the tomb, body’s treatment, etc.) are the essential tools for the archeology of death, which aims to contribute to a better knowledge of ancient populations through a biocultural approach

Full textAbstract:
Sur la base des sources arabes, notre these etudie les coups d'etat successifs au sein de l'empire ottoman (1908-1913). Elle comporte les trois parties suivantes : 1) le declin d'un empire ; 2) les destitutions des sultans ; 3) les unionistes et le demembrement de l'empire. La 1ere partie expose les maux de l'empire a cette epoque-la et l'emergence de l'opposition politique avec ses slogans et ses instances. La 2eme evoque les coups d'etat des "jeunes-turcs", sans negliger celui de la troupe, ni celui du general m. Chawket et se termine par l'exposition des reactions arabes. La 3eme retrace les circonstances du declenchement du coup d'etat des officiers salvateurs ainsi que de celui de la sublime porte, et se finit par un chapitre sur les reactions arabes aussi. De l'analyse de ces parties, nous concluerons que ces coups d'etat faisaient partie des transformations inevitables dues a l'abandon, par l'empire, de son contexte culturel traditionnel pour se mouler dans un contexte d'aspiration occidentale.

Morris, Richard Leslie Michael. "German identity in the court festivals of the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century Holy Roman Empire." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/271832.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores identity as it was portrayed, constructed, and upheld through court festivals within the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in the period between the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 and the coronation of Friedrich V, Elector Palatine, as King of Bohemia in 1619. The thesis is made up of five inter-related thematic chapters. Chapter I analyses the role of ‘Lineage, Legitimacy, and History’. This chapter acknowledges the enduring importance of lineage, genealogy, and history to noble legitimacy, and discusses the threats and questions posed by newly rising families. It demonstrates how competing claims and counter-claims to legitimacy were made as festival occasions attempted to weave their protagonists into the fabric of ‘German’ history together with an associated possession of ‘German’ virtues, and how these claims to legitimacy were buttressed by representations of popular acclaim. Chapter II discusses ‘Mortality, Masculinity, Femininity, and Mutability’. At festivals both the mortality of members of dynasties and gendered roles, ideals, and identities as noble men and women were visible. This chapter argues that the evidence of these festivals complicates any stark delineation between male and female identities, instead stressing the degree of mutability of these categories as well as the centrality of virtue demonstrated, primarily, through skill. The themes of mutability and virtue continue into Chapter III, which addresses ‘Nature and the German Land’. Festivals often incorporated performed claims to possession of, and endorsement from, the German land itself. The land and its topographical features could be represented within cities as part of festival occasions, or the journeys to, and between elements of, festivals could incorporate the landscape into the rhetoric of these spectacles. This rhetoric could be confessionalised and politicised, but representations of nature also served to bolster a universalising rhetoric of virtue through the skilled manipulation of nature to the whim of the ruler. Chapter IV deals with the theme of ‘Religion, Piety, and Confessional Difference’. It discusses the role which displays of piety, including humility before God and the Church, played in these occasions, and draws out elements of confessionalised rhetoric present. However, the analysis shows that directly antagonistic religious imagery and language, seen elsewhere in European festival culture, does not feature. Instead, the emphasis is on non-divisive language and a unifying notion of Christendom. This was, of course, set against the dipole of the ‘Other’ which is addressed in Chapter V, ‘Language, Custom, Othering, and Unity’. Festivals drew attendees from across Europe and often included performed representations of non-Christian ‘Others’ such as Turks, Moors, and inhabitants of the New World. While the foreign, even the Ottoman, could be seen as exotic and luxurious, a rhetoric of superiority nurtured through appropriation and trivialisation of the threat which the Ottomans posed again contributed to the creation of common notions of identity. Finally, far from being an impediment to common identity, the meeting and use of different languages at festivals also served to highlight skill, learning, and virtue in the rhetoric of identity at these occasions.

Full textAbstract:
Le Second Empire a pour réputation d’être un régime politique ennemi des libertés. Pourtant, la constitution du 14 janvier 1852 reconnaît, confirme et garantit les principes de 1789 comme la base du droit public des Français. Elle crée même des mécanismes pour les protéger. Le régime louis-napoléonien, dès son texte fondateur, s’intéresse donc à la garantie des libertés. Cela fait-il du Second Empire un régime politique libéral ?Le règne de Napoléon III est coupé en deux périodes : l’autoritaire et la libérale. L’expression « Empire libéral » doit beaucoup au travail d’Émile Ollivier qui a cherché à réhabiliter, après 1870, son ralliement à l’Empire. Ainsi, quelle pertinence de qualifier de « libérale » la période s’étendant de 1860 à 1870 ou d’« autoritaire » celle s’étendant de 1852 à 1860 ?Fidèle aux idéaux de la Révolution de 1789, l’Empereur resta soucieux de maintenir le système traditionnel selon lequel la garantie des libertés relevait des missions de l’État, même s’il accepta, progressivement, de laisser à la société la capacité de garantir elle-même les libertés. Un changement de paradigme s’est donc opéré. De la protection des libertés par l’État, la doctrine libérale passa à la protection de la liberté sans l’État, voire contre lui. En fonction de la définition retenue, le Second Empire aurait donc toujours ou jamais été libéral<br>The Second Empire has for reputation to be a political system, enemy of freedoms. Nevertheless, 1852-January 14th’s constitution recognizes, confirms and guarantees the 1789 principles as the basis of the public law of the French people. The constitution creates even mechanisms to protect people. The Louis-Napoleonic regime, from its founding text, is thus interested in the guarantee of freedoms. Does that make of Second Empire a liberal political system?The reign of Napoleon III is divided into two periods: the authoritarian and the liberal. The expression " Liberal Empire" owes a great deal to the work of Émile Ollivier, who seeked after 1870, to rehabilitate its rallying to the Empire. Consequently, what is the relevance of qualifying as "liberal" the period extending from 1860 till 1870 or as "authoritarian" the one extending from 1852 till 1860?Faithful to the 1789-French Revolution’s ideals, the Emperor remained aware of the need to maintain the traditional system, according to which the guarantee of freedoms was part of the State’s missions, even if he gradually accepted to leave these guarantees to the society itself. A change of paradigm thus took place. From the protection of the freedoms by the State, the liberal doctrine moved towards the protection of the freedom without the State, or even against it. According to the adopted definition, the Second Empire would thus have still or never been liberal

Full textAbstract:
Au cours du IIIe siècle, l’Empire romain est confronté aux attaques militaires de ses voisins aux niveaux de sa frontière orientale et occidentale. Ces attaques parfois simultanées engendrent une instabilité du pouvoir impérial, caractérisée par la multiplication de coups d’État. L’objectif de cette étude était d’analyser ce phénomène politique de 235 à 284. Les questions essentielles de l’analyse étaient : Qu’est-ce qu’un coup d’État dans le contexte politique de l’Empire romain ? Comment se présente le coup d’État au cours de la période concernée et quels sont ses conséquences dans l’Empire. Ainsi, nous avons démontré à travers une analyse théorique que le phénomène de coup d’État n’est pas spécifique au IIIe siècle de l’Empire mais qu’il est consubstantiel au régime impérial. Après, cette démonstration, nous avons analysé chaque coup d’État et mis en relief leur augmentation avec l’intensification des attaques des ennemis de l’Empire. Pour chaque coup d’État était présenté, le contexte de sa proclamation, son déroulement et l’analyse politique qu’on pouvait en faire. Au terme de toute cette analyse, nous avons présenté les conséquences de ce phénomène politique tant sur la structure politique et militaire mais aussi sur la vie économique, sociale et administrative de l’Empire<br>During the third century, the Roman Empire is faced with military attacks from its neighbors at its eastern and western borders. These simultaneous attacks generate instability for the imperial power, characterized by the increase of political coups. The objective of this study was to analyze this political phenomenon from 235 to 284. Critical analysis questions were: What is a coup in the political context of the Roman Empire? What is the process of a coup during the relevant period and what are its consequences for the Empire? We have shown through a theoretical analysis that the phenomenon of coups is not specific to the third century of the Empire, but it is consubstantial to the roman imperial regime. After this, we have analyzed each coup and highlighted the increase of their occurrence with the intensification of attacks by Rome’s enemies. For each coup analyzed, the context of its proclamation, its development and the political analysis was given. We have presented the consequences of this political phenomenon on both political and military structure and also on the economic and administrative life of the Empire

Full textAbstract:
<p>This study examines how the Roman emperors <i>c</i>. AD. 260–295 attempt at maintaining their power-bases through legitimation of their claims to power, with reference to various potentially powerful groups of society, such as the military, the inhabitants of the provinces and the senate in Rome. The purpose has been to discern the development of ‘Roman imperial ideology’ in an age which has frequently been referred to as an ‘age of military anarchy.’ Focus is on how claims to power could be expressed through visual media. Of such media, mainly the coins struck for the emperors <i>c</i>. AD 260-295 have been studied. A close investigation has been made of the iconography of these coins. Furthermore, the ways in which coin-images are modified and combined with various legends are studied. An additional purpose of this investigation has been to provide a comment on the general potential of conveying visual imagery and messages on objects such as coins and medallions. </p><p>The study argues that novel, intricate and multi-layered images were created on the coins struck for the emperors <i>c</i>. AD 260-295. Furthermore, it is suggested that these coin-images were created to assume the function of larger-scale expressions of imperial authority, such as triumphal arches and imperial statues. This adaption of coinage was made because there was a need for intensified communication of imperial authority. This need arose due to the incessant warfare of the age, and a process of regionalization of the empire, which was connected to this warfare. The conclusion is that these coins provide an illustration of the development of the Roman empire in the second half of the third century. This was a development by which the city of Rome lost its importance in favour of regional capitals, and ultimately in favour of Constantinople.</p>

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Nesta dissertação apresentamos uma análise da trajetória de Eusébio de Queirós no período em que ele ocupava o cargo de chefe de polícia da Corte (1833-1844), momento de grande turbulência social no Império, e consolidação das posições do Regresso Conservador. Mostramos como Eusébio de Queirós se precipitou sobre o "vazio" de atribuições que caracterizava a função de chefe de polícia, tornando-se um articulador da administração da justiça na Corte, após assumir a direção de uma Secretaria de Polícia da Corte com uma estrutura precária, em meio às discussões acerca do regime policial estabelecido com a adoção do Código de Processo Criminal de 1832. A ideia de que no compartilhamento da informação entre as autoridades estava a pedra angular da segurança pública foi uma constante na trajetória de Queirós, exemplificados na abordagem dada à Revolta dos Malês (1835) e às Revoltas Liberais de 1842. Esta pesquisa trabalha uma entre as possíveis caracterizações de Eusébio de Queirós, considerando as implicações de ordens biográfica e historiográfica, procurando problematizar por meio de uma trajetória específica aspectos que circundam o processo de construção do Estado nacional no Brasil.<br>In this thesis we present an analysis of Eusébio de Queirós during in the period in which held the position of the Court police chief (1833-1844), time of great social turmoil in the Empire, and consolidation of the Regresso Conservador positions.

The idea that the sharing of information between authorities was the cornerstone of public safety was a constant in Queirós path, exemplified in the approach given the Revolta dos Malês (1835) and the Revoltas de 1842.

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet interroge les procédés de structuration et de configuration d’une cour impériale, qu’ils soient spontanés ou à l’initiative de l’empereur. Comme le rappelle le sociologue allemand Norbert Elias, dont les travaux encadrent largement cette étude, la cour ne doit pas son existence à la volonté d’un seul individu. Le cadre chronologique de cette étude est celui d’un long IVe siècle, prétexte à l’observation d’une évolution de la structure aulique et de l’image de la dignité impériale sur le long terme. L’Occident offre un objet d’étude privilégié, par sa diversité et ses pratiques du pouvoir héritières d’une ancienne centralité axée sur la ville de Rome. Notre hypothèse de recherche vise à pondérer le « paradigme du prince décideur » et à faire de l’empereur du IVe siècle un acteur de la cour et non plus seulement le point nodal d’une structure aulique qui tend à s’autonomiser. Il s’agit de mieux appréhender l’évolution de la pratique d’un pouvoir souvent perçu comme autocratique, le façonnement d’une cour destinée à servir le prestige d’une dignité impériale restaurée et l’autonomisation d’une administration extrêmement lourde. La permanence de certains réseaux d’influence à la cour semble entraîner un paradoxe entre le renforcement de l’autorité impériale et la faiblesse de l’influence décisionnelle des empereurs dans certains domaines de la vie politique. Cette contradiction ménage de nouveaux espaces du pouvoir jusque dans les territoires de l’empire, sous la forme de projections spatiales de la réalité aulique à travers la mobilité des hauts fonctionnaires. De là, la cour apparaît d’abord comme une abstraction soumise au politique avant que d’être une réalité topographique. L’ « absolutisme » en tant que « trait dominant du régime » mérite une nouvelle approche historiographique à l’aune de ces nouvelles pratiques du pouvoir à l’œuvre dès la Tétrarchie<br>The present subject examines the processes of structuration and configuration of an imperial court. Those processes could be spontaneous or on the emperor’s initiative. As the German sociologist Norbert Elias reminds us, the court doesn’t owe its existence to the will of one person. This study takes place in a long 4th century and highlights the evolution of the court structure and the representation of the imperial dignity over the long term. The Western empire is a priviledged field of study due to the diversity of its political practices of power inherited from the old centrality of power settled in Rome. Our research hypothesis is about moderating the paradigm of the ‘decision-maker prince’. In that sense, the emperor of the Late Roman Empire would become an actor of the court again and not only the nodal point of this structure which is trying to become autonomous. We would like to better comprehend the evolution of a power usually regarded as autocratic, the making process of a court intended to serve the prestige of a restored imperial dignity and the autonomisation of an heavy administration. There is a paradox between the permanency of some political networks at court, the reinforcement of the imperial authority and the decision-making weakness of the emperors in some aspects of the political life. This contradiction creates new spaces of power in empire's territories because of the mobility of the senior officials. In that, the court appears more as a political abstraction than just a topographic reality. The ‘absolutism’ of that time deserves a new historiographical approach to understand those new political practices noticeable since the Tetrarchy

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire se penche sur les dynamiques inhérentes aux déplacements dans l’exercice du pouvoir au Moyen-âge en prenant pour exemple le cas de Frédéric Barberousse, empereur du Saint-Empire de 1152 à 1190. En se basant sur la source qu’est la Gesta Friderici I Imperatoris, écrite par Otton de Freising et son continuateur, Rahewin, le but de cette étude est d’exposer la manière dont les déplacements s’ancraient dans l’exercice du pouvoir. Nous débutons avec un survol historique mettant en place la situation précédant l’arrivée au pouvoir de Barberousse, de même qu’une exposition de l’évolution du pouvoir et des institutions reliées à son exercice en Germanie et dans l’Empire. Ensuite, au fil des écrits d’Otton de Freising et de Rahewin, nous voyons que le souverain se devait de se déplacer afin d’à la fois s’enraciner dans la tradition de la royauté germanique itinérante tout en se rapprochant des notions judiciaires et juridiques nouvelles au XIIe siècle. Ainsi, son règne se trouvait au centre d’une redéfinition du pouvoir dans l’Empire, en opposition directe avec la papauté. L’ouvrage étudié, qui était en fait un outil de la propagation de l’idéologie impériale des Hohenstaufen, permet ainsi de mieux comprendre la nécessité des voyages de l’empereur dans l’exercice de ses fonctions, tout en représentant le souverain comme le seul détenteur du pouvoir chrétien suprême.<br>This memoir examines the dynamics inherent to the movements in the exercise of power in the Middle Ages, taking as example the case of Frederick Barbarossa, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1152 to 1190. By studying the Gesta Friderici I Imperatoris as the main source of this paper, the goal of this text is to expose the ways in which movements and travels were anchoring parts in the exercise of power. The first part consists in a brief historical overview establishing the situation of the Empire before Barbarossa’s coronation, as well as an exhibition of the evolution of power and institutions linked to its exercise in the Empire. Afterwards, through the writings of Otto of Freising and Rahewin, we see that the sovereign had to travel his lands in order to both be rooted in the tradition of the German itinerant kingship, while also striving towards the new legal concepts of the XIIth century. Thus, Frederick’s reign was at the center of a redefinition of power in the Empire, in direct opposition to the papacy. The studied book, which was actually a tool aiming to spread the imperial ideology of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, gives the reader a better understanding of the needs for the emperor’s journeys in the exercise of his functions, while also representing the monarch as the only holder of the supreme Christian power.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates how the category of gender difference was mobilised as a practice of power at the early modern court. It argues that gender was not simply a relational category affecting who could participate in early modern politics in what ways, but that it constituted a crucial and active resource of dynastic power. This subject of study is opened up through a case study of the court of Württemberg in the subsequent reigns of Dukes Friedrich I and his son Johann Friedrich, which span the period of time from 1593 to 1628. The reign of Duke Friedrich I was a time of political reform, which saw the influence of the local estates curtailed and an extroverted foreign policy pursued, whilst the duke concurrently entertained several extramarital affairs in contention with Lutheranism’s prescriptions. His son Johann Friedrich clearly took exception to his father's lifestyle, since, at Friedrich's premature death in 1608, he imprisoned a number of his father's mistresses and procuresses. He was forced to let the majority of these women go again quite quickly, keeping only one suspected procuress in custody, whose case was to drag on until 1618. Johann Friedrich's mother Duchess Sibylla, who had borne fifteen children to Friedrich and thus became the Stammesmutter of a new Württemberg dynastic line, was involved in these dealings. The contrast of these two differently structured approaches to rulership allows for the investigation of the power dynamics of monogamy and polygamy in one coherent case study. Württemberg is an interesting location for this research since it was a large and important territory of southern Germany, which came to be deeply involved in Protestant resistance in the worsening religious strife leading up to the Thirty Years’ War. Documents ranging from court ordinances, festival descriptions and servants registers, to courtly correspondences, juridical supplications and declarations have been consulted. This broad range of primary sources facilitates the investigation of the salience of gender difference both in the context of a courtly system heading a polity, as well as on the level of individual actors whose personhood was intricately entwined with their gendered identities. It is argued here that it is imperative to avoid a fragmentation within court studies into gender and women’s history on the one side and political approaches on the other, in order to maximise our understanding of the practice of power located at early modern courts. Gender difference complicated and further differentiated courtly status hierarchies and lent flexibility to increasingly rigid sets of dynastic rules about reproduction, succession, and etiquette, which had a beneficial impact on the longevity of the dynastic system.

Full textAbstract:
Nearly 300 years before the rise of a ‘Christianized,’ Eastern Roman Empire, generations of inhabitants in the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East had witnessed a considerable variety and evolution of religious thought. As a result of the expansion of Christian sects throughout the Near East and Mediterranean, in 325 CE, Emperor Constantine I convened a theological council to unite his vast kingdom in the East under a single religious creed. While revisions to the text of the first ‘Nicene Creed’ and subsequent councils would be organized, many dissenting factions refused to relinquish their long-held beliefs and traditions. Some of these ‘heterodox’ sects resisted the religious arm of the Empire and concealed their practices while continuing to worship in secrecy. Clues to the subversion of ‘orthodox’ ecclesiastical mandate may still persist in the mosaic programs of extant churches in the Mediterranean and Transjordan. In particular, the general design of mosaics in the Transjordan (e.g., the Petra Church, Petra; the Church of SS. Lot and Procopius, Khirbet al-Mukhayyat; and the Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian, Jerash) are somewhat similar, yet divergent from designs found within churches from the Italian Peninsula (e.g., the Theodorean Basilical Complex, Aquileia; the Church of San Vitale, Ravenna; and the Church of Sant’Apollinare in Classe, Classe). The purpose of this thesis is to use the principles of semiotic theory to re-evaluate the use of symbols and icons within sacred mosaic programs, juxtaposed against the historical and ecclesiastical context surrounding their creation.

Aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, l'île de Malte, propriété de l'Espagne et confiée à l'Ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, devient un lieu privilégié d'affrontements entre les rives chrétiennes et musulmanes. Après des épisodes militaires marquants (razzia de 1551, siège de 1565) et des fortifications intensives (construction de La Valette), Malte incarne à la fin du XVIe siècle la frontière par excellence de la chrétienté face à l'Islam. Au siècle suivant, son épanouissement en tant qu'île-frontière est symbolisé par l'essor de la guerre de course qui maintient l'affrontement avec les "Infidèles" tout en favorisant l'émergence, puis le développement, de contacts commerciaux avec la rive ennemie.

During the following century, Malta came out as a border island where increased privateer warfare kept up conflicts against the "infidels" and helped the emergence then the development of trade contacts with the enemy on the other shore. At the same time, trade and human exchanges were constantly counterbalanced by the Roman Inquisition keeping a close watch on the society in the island. This balance has contributed to the shaping of an original society that was cosmopolitan and at the same time strongly hostile to any religious difference

Full textAbstract:
Apparus en 1428 en Espagne, le Pas d’armes est un parfait exemple de l’indéniable intérêt porté par la noblesse, de la fin du Moyen Âge et du début de la Renaissance, aux arts martiaux, littéraires et théâtraux. Il s’agit, en réalité, d’une évolution de la joute et du tournoi au cours duquel un ou plusieurs chevaliers est volontaire pour garder un carrefour, une porte ou tout autre lieux symbolique. Pour différencier ces exercices des joutes, les organisateurs publient des chapitres, ou lettres d’armes, plusieurs mois en avance. Ils sont souvent constitués de deux parties, la première venant placer les chevaliers assaillants et défenseurs dans un univers magique et fantastique, le seconde présentant les règles du jeu. Notons également que la majeure partie des Pas plonge les chevaliers dans un monde fictionnel, en particulier inspire de la légende arthurienne, grâce aux chapitres, aux décors et, naturellement, aux costumes. Témoignages des contacts transculturels existent entre les cours d’Anjou et de Bourgogne avec celles d’Espagne, les Pas d’armes sont organisés à des moments décisifs pour les cours, qu’il s’agisse de mariages, de traités de paix ou d’un temps d’après-guerre ; et tous remplissent un rôle commun : mettre en lumière l’unité chevaleresque autour du Prince et de son pouvoir. Invariablement, c’est le Prince qui sort vainqueur des événements qui ont lieux au sein de sa cour. Il s’agit essentiellement pour le prince de mettre en scène son pouvoir dans ce « jeu-mimique » où l’important n’est pas tant le combat que le spectacle et la mise en lumière du pouvoir princier, tant culturel, financier que militaire<br>Appearing in 1428 in Spain, the Pas d’Armes are a real example of the undeniable interest held by the nobility of the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance in the arts of warfare, in literature, and theater. It is in reality an evolution of the joust and tournament in which one or several knights volunteer to keep a crossroad, a door or another symbolic place. To differ from the joust, the organizers publish chapters, or letters of weapons, several months in advance. They consisted of two parts, the first one coming to place the knights defenders and aggressors in a magic and fantastic universe, the second containing rules to be followed. It is also necessary to note that the great majority of Pas place the knights in a fictional world, in particular regarding Arthurian legend, by means of chapters, present scenery around the lists and, naturally, costumes. Testimonies of transcultural contacts between the Valois ‘courts of Anjou and Burgundy and Spanish courts, the Pas d’armes are organized at courtly decisive moments like marriages, treaties of peace or just after a war, all the Pas d’armes had a common role : to highlight the unity of knighthood around the Prince and his power. On each occasion is the Prince who emerges victorious from all the entertainment organized at his court. Essentially, it is a way for the prince to dramatize his power in this “game – mimicry” where the important thing was not so much the fighting but the scenery and the highlighting of cultural, financial and military power of the court

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the political and social worldview of British and Indian royalty during the nineteenth century. Rather than viewing them as mere 'ornamental' figureheads, it seeks to highlight and scrutinise the ideas held by monarchs (sovereign or deposed) about empire and the role of royalty, as well as considering how their attempts at implementing such ideas can complicate existing narratives about the relative influence and authority of this group. Above all, this thesis breaks new ground by adopting a transnational approach in its study of such royal ideas and endeavours. Ruling dynasties, monarchs and courts have long been part of an interconnected, if rarefied, world encompassing Europe and Asia, though this is not adequately reflected in the historiography on the nineteenth century. This is despite the ironic fact that in that century, many royal houses were brought closer together than ever before, through the impact of growing global empires, and advancing communications and transportation networks. The first direct meetings between British and Indian royalty took place during this period, in the early 1850s, and are closely examined here. Based on a core case-study of the longstanding relationship between the Punjabi and British dynasties of Maharajah Ranjit Singh and Queen Victoria, and using a wide variety of textual and material sources, this thesis captures royal perspectives of their status and role in an evolving world, alongside considering how British and Indian royalty directly or indirectly influenced one another. This study effectively de-centres the British imperial official as the primary agent in Anglo-Indian elite encounters, and goes further to demonstrate that whether in the case of the connections between royal personages, or in the ties between âmonarchy, nation and empireâ, the capability for royal agency to shape the nature of such relationships evolved over time and was a consistently contested matter.

Full textAbstract:
Sous l’impulsion d’un commerce croissant, la multiplication des relations interétatiques avec l’Empire ottoman amena celui-ci à encadrer la résolution des conflits mixtes, qui se contentait jusque-là de négociations par voie diplomatique et extrajudiciaire. Le tribunal de commerce mixte (ticaret), une juridiction extraordinaire composée de juges ottomans et étrangers, fut créée à cet effet dans le cadre d’un profond mouvement de réformes sur le modèle européen (les Tanzimat), qui est communément considéré comme le processus dit de modernisation de l’Empire. S’inscrivant dans la droite lignée de la tradition de pluralisme juridique de l’Empire ottoman, le tribunal portait aussi le sceau des capitulations et des privilèges d’exterritorialité qui leur sont inhérents. Le tribunal incarnait à ce titre une grave transgression au droit de souveraineté de la Sublime Porte, offrant aux puissances un cadre institutionnel pour l’implantation d’une hypo-colonie. En mettant la question de cette modernisation à l’épreuve de l’acculturation et des transferts juridiques dans une approche globale, ce travail déconstruit les allégations de passivité orientale. Il examine comment l’appropriation d’une culture juridique -même imposée- a pu servir à l’émancipation et l’affirmation de la souveraineté d’un Etat. Car, dans sa stratégie d’imitation, le mimétisme comporte une force subversive<br>Under the impulse of a growing trade, the rise of interstate relations made it necessary to take care of the resolutions of mixed conflicts, which had until then been held through the diplomatic and extrajudicial channels throughout the Ottoman empire. The Mixed Commercial Court (ticaret) —an extraordinary court composed of both Ottoman and foreign judges¬— was set up for this purpose. Its creation happened within a context of profound reform movements based on the European model (the Tanzimat), which is commonly regarded as a so-called modernization process of the Empire.Following the tradition of the legal pluralism of the Ottoman Empire, it also bore the seal of capitulations and extraterritoriality privileges inherent in them. The court thus embodied a serious transgression to the Sublime Porte's right of sovereignty, offering the world’s major Powers an institutional framework for the establishment of a hypo-colony.By questioning this modernization with regards to acculturation and legal transfers in a global approach, this work deconstructs the allegations of Eastern passivity. It examines how the appropriation of a legal culture —even if it has been imposed— has been able to serve the emancipation of the State and the affirmation of its sovereignty. For in its imitation strategy, mimicry has indeed a subversive force

Full textAbstract:
L'oeuvre poétique de Victor Segalen fait un très large usage de la culture chinoise sur le plan référentiel comme sur le plan textuel. La thèse procede à une étude des cinq recueils poétiques de Segalen(Stèles, Peintures, équipée,odes et thibet) dans une perspective chinoise non pour réduire l'oeuvre à la Chine mais pour se servir de la Chine comme un mode de lecture possible de Segalen. L'étude se déroule en deux temps. La première partie est une lecture référentielle. La référence renvoie aussi bien aux éléments de la culture chinoise (histoire, littérature, philosophie) qu'au monde intérieur du poète(son refus de dieu, son rêve nietzcheen, sa vision mystique du monde, sa quête de l'être absolu). Et la symbolique de l'oeuvre se dégage justement de la confrontation de ces deux références. La deuxième partie est une lecture structurelle, Toujours en rapport avec la Chine. Elle prend la Chine comme un empire de signes, de formes. Ces formes chinoises, notamment écriture, stèle, peinture, sont originalement exploitées par Segalen dans la construction de son oeuvre. Cette partie examine d'abord les réflexions du poète sur l'écriture chinoise (en tant que signes isolés, en tant que texte, et en tant que calligraphie) et une certaine poétique qu'il en tire. Elle étudie ensuite respectivement les deux oeuvres maîtresses de Segalen en les prenant chacune comme un ensemble structure et en accentuant chacune leur singularité structurelle : Intertextualité dans Stèles (entre le livre Stèles et la stèle de pierre, entre les poèmes stèles et leurs épigraphes chinoises) et construction spatiale dans peinture (ses spatialitès signifiées - contenu des textes- peintures et peintures-objets, et sa spatialite signifiante - l'espace du texte)<br>This thesis studies the poetic works of victor segalen in their relationship with chinese culture. The first part is a reading of reference. It refers to china's history, literature and philosophy, il refers also to the personal world of th poet (his refusal of god, his mystic conception of the world, his quest of the absolute). The second part is a reading of structure, it is always in keeping with china. For china is also an empire of forms. Of forms. Some of chinese forms have been exploited in an original way by th work of segalen : ideographic writing, stela, peinting. This part examines segalen's reflections on the chinese writing and the poetics he draws from this writing. Then it studies especially two important works of segalen, steles and peintures by accentuating each their singularity : intertextuality in steles, spatial construction in peintures

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail montre en quoi la dimension démocratique de l'œuvre de Gustave Courbet, loin de se limiter à un système esthétique ou à des données biographiques, est liée à sa réception critique par ses contemporains. Une telle approche théorique suit les principes de Claude Lefort sur la démocratie. Un premier temps (I- Le regard pris au piège) consiste ainsi à montrer en quoi la peinture de Gustave Courbet est un piège, en cela qu'elle évide l'intelligibilité de la peinture. Appelées par ce vide, les critiques fusent pour affirmer leur vérité sur la nature de cette esthétique nouvelle (II- La réception conflictuelle du réalisme de Courbet). Elles procèdent à une politisation de la notion de réalisme. Dans un troisième temps (III - Courbet et les statuts de l'artiste), on examine comment, à partir de Gustave Courbet, s'engagent des conflits sur le statut de l'artiste et les fonctions qui lui sont prêtées<br>This thesis explains why Gustave Courbet' s work has a democratic dimension that, far from being limited to an aesthetic system or to biographical facts, is the actual result of its critical reception. This theoretical point of view follows Claude Lefort' s principles on this issue. Our first part (I -The beholder caught in a trap) consists in showing how Courbet's painting is a trap as it has no intelligibility in spite of its visual density. Challenged by his work, many critics tended to assert their own truth on the real nature of this new aesthetic, thus giving a political edge to the concept of 'realism' (II -The conflictual reception of Courbet's realism). At last (III - Courbet and the roles of the artist), we will observe how new conflicts about the role of the artist emerged because of Gustave Courbet's approach

Full textAbstract:
La grande aumônerie désigne traditionnellement, en France, le clergé chargé de l’exercice du culte auprès dusouverain et de ceux de ses sujets attachés à sa personne. Longtemps cantonné à la cour, ce service connaît, desa recréation par Napoléon au moment du passage à l’Empire jusqu’à sa suppression par la monarchie deJuillet, un développement sans précédent. L’amalgame de différentes composantes, à commencer, sous laRestauration, par l’aumônerie militaire, transforme le modeste département aulique en une institution présenteà l’échelle nationale, dont les effectifs équivalent à ceux d’un petit diocèse. Le présent travail s’interroge sur lamanière dont l’existence d’un tel clergé affecte concrètement le fonctionnement du système concordataire, àtravers l’étude de ses structures, de son personnel et de son activité pastorale. Il pose aussi la question du poidspolitique du clergé de cour dans la direction des Affaires religieuses en régime constitutionnel.

L’antique alliancedu Trône et de l’Autel fait alors place, définitivement, à la relation purement administrative de l’Église et del’État<br>The “Grande Aumônerie” traditionally refers, in France, to the clergy in charge of the exercise of the ministryto the sovereign and, among his subjects, to all those attached to his person. A long time confined to the court,this service knows, from its restoration by Napoleon until its removal by the July Monarchy, an unprecedentedgrowth. The incorporation of various components, which the most important is certainly, under theRestoration, the military chaplaincy, converts the modest aulic department into a national institution, whosenumbers equall to those of a small diocese. This work examines how the existence of such a clergy actuallyaffects the running of the Concordat System, through a detailed study of its structures, its staff and its pastoralactivity. It also raises the question of the political weight of the court clergy in the management of religiousaffairs in a constitutional government. Eventually a finding stands out : the marginalization, even before itsdisappearance, of the “Grande Aumônerie”, which, by contrast, underlines the soundness of the institutionsestablished by Bonaparte in order to regulate the religions. The ancient alliance of Throne and Altar then givesway, definitively, to the merely administrative relationship between Church and State

Martinet, Émilie. "L'administration provinciale à l'Ancien Empire." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040247.
Full textAbstract:
L’augmentation des publications concernant les sites provinciaux datés de l’Ancien Empire, qu’il s’agisse d'ouvrages consacrés à des découvertes récentes ou d’éditions plus approfondies de nécropoles connues depuis longtemps, a accru la documentation relative aux élites provinciales et au système administratif provincial de cette époque. Il était donc nécessaire de proposer une nouvelle reconstitution des structures administratives provinciales et de la hiérarchisation des élites provinciales de l’Ancien Empire. Si l'outil prosopographique reste crucial pour ces thématiques, nos objectifs n'ont pu être atteints qu'en effectuant une analyse croisée de la totalité des sources relatives au sujet, qu'il s'agisse de sources inscrites, iconographiques ou archéologiques, royales ou privées, ainsi qu'en adoptant une approche globale qui dépasse largement le cadre d'une étude prosopographique. Dans le chapitre 1, nous avons analysé chacune des catégories de fonctionnaires ayant eu une autorité supra-provinciale, afin de déterminer leurs différentes compétences et leur sphère d'influence. Nous avons aussi mis en évidence les temps forts de la présence de l’administration royale en province, ainsi que les modalités de son intervention selon les dynasties. Dans le chapitre 2, nous avons étudié l'évolution du statut des responsables des provinces au cours de l'Ancien Empire (les administrateurs temporaires de nome, les proto-nomarques et les nomarques). Dans le chapitre 3, pour analyser les rouages de l’administration provinciale, nous avons choisi de nous concentrer sur les titres des fonctionnaires intermédiaires et subalternes qui se rencontrent les plus fréquemment en province et dont certaines sources, comme les décrets et les empreintes de sceaux, ainsi que la documentation hiératique, attestent leur emploi dans un contexte administratif et contribuent à préciser les modalités d'exercice de ces charges. Dans le chapitre 4, nous avons proposé une typologie des différentes structures administratives provinciales. Nous avons élaboré une liste de 22 critères qui nous ont permis de regrouper les provinces en plusieurs catégories en fonction de caractéristiques dominantes et communes à celles-ci. Trois principales catégories ont été mises en évidence : 1) les provinces qui présentaient d’importantes interactions avec le pouvoir central, 2) les provinces dans lesquelles le temple local occupait une place prépondérante, alors que les institutions centrales y étaient moins présentes, et 3) les provinces caractérisées par une organisation plus mixte, et dont les élites locales présentaient un degré d’intégration moins important à la structure administrative du royaume. Enfin, nous avons démontré, pour la VIe dynastie, l'existence d'une circulation du pouvoir entre certaines provinces sélectionnées par la monarchie et qui ont eu un rôle important dans l'administration de la Haute-Égypte, comme le suggère la présence de certains bureaux déconcentrés. Les élites de ces centres régionaux d'importance ont une influence sur plusieurs provinces et ont permis à la monarchie de pouvoir maintenir la stabilité de l'État et le contrôle d'une partie des ressources locales<br>This study aims at improving our understanding of the provincial administrative structures in the Old Kingdom. The analysis of the titles provides some information about the careers of the provincial officials and the hierarchical relationships in the provinces. The cross analysis of all the data allows to reconstitute the organisation of the provincial administration and its changes during the Old Kingdom.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>A dissertação analisa, no período de formação do Império do Brasil como
corpo político autônomo, em meados de 1821 a 1825, o caráter polissêmico da
linguagem política e a disputa em torno desses significados. O foco do estudo
encontra-se no projeto político do carmelita Frei Joaquim do Amor Divino Rabelo
Caneca, sinalizando a crítica feita pelo autor ao Imperador e à Corte, sua
interlocução junto aos federalistas pernambucanos, e, ainda, a singularidade
referente aos seus questionamentos e seu horizonte de expectativas. A partir dos
principais escritos políticos de Frei Caneca são recuperados, primeiramente, as
experiências que influenciaram o pensamento do autor, suas redes de
sociabilidade e a influência de sua formação. Em um segundo momento, a
dissertação volta-se para o olhar de Frei Caneca para os debates
constitucionalistas, travados na província pernambucana e os conflitos políticos
traçados pelo carmelita ao defender princípios envoltos nos conceitos de: Estado,
Nação, Pátria e Cidadão. Por fim, analisa-se a aproximação entre o conceito de
liberdade de Frei Caneca e a concepção do conceito feita pelos humanistas
renascentistas.<br>The essay analyzes, the period of formation of Brazil´s Empire as an
