Full textThe aim of this thesis “NEGRO TRAGEDIES AND GREEK TRAGEDIES” is to compare the tragic negro theatre to the tragic greek theatre. Given that literary critics and researches attach less importance to comparative analysis of the theatricals of these two societies, this work questions the nature and significance of Negro tragedies in relation to Greek tragedies. While allot had been done on French, German, Italian. . . Tragedies in their relation to Greek tragedies, nothing has been heard on Negro tragedies, as if Negro-african theatre had been less poetic and less expressive. This work is based on three axes. First, the conditions of production of tragic in the colonised African societies and Caribbean’s- the theatre in general and tragic theatre in particular. This section lays emphasis on the positive influence of ancients authors (Eschyle, Sophocle and Euripide) on the Negro-african dramatic writers (J. Rabémananjara, A. Césaire, W. Soyinka). Secondly, we look at how the Negro-african writers appropriated the ancient model for creating a new literary world of their own- Negro dramatic writers and the ancient models. Lastly we take a look at the study of the structure of tragic texts

Full textFrom a corpus based on the Greek classical world, consisting of both vases and texts, the author examines the relationship between the woman and the bed. The technical part of the first chapter describes the position of the bed within its environment before considering its components : its legs and armrests in particular, the material used to make and decorate it, then the bedding. Further to this materialistic description, the several uses of the bed are explained with no connection with the present research. The literary chapter, focusing essentially on tragedies, shows by using the Greek names for bed, the proximity between that element and the woman on metaphorical basis : using the word bed, is identifying it with marriage or woman herself. The iconographical approach which is developed throughout three chapters explains that the bed and the woman meet in certain types of situations. For some heroines, the bed brings to the fore the merits granted generally to women : physical appeal, charm, fertility, though, sometimes it is their deathbed. The bed is also used to describe such scenes as preparations and marriage ceremonies, processions and others. Finally the last chapter examines the relationship between bed and prostitution : the few scenes with hetaeras in Attica, which do not take place at the symposium, are completed by many rather enigmatic images from the South of Italy, showing couples on a bed in different attitudes. Thus, when the bed appears with the woman in a particular iconography; it plays a fundamental role : the bed reveals or emphasises the values men, in their train of thought, give to women, beauty, seduction, fertility in marriage, erotic power. The way women use a bed proves their affinity with this element and its usefulness when they are in contact with it
Montana, Jean-Marie. "Le spectaculaire dans la tragédie romaine." Paris 3, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA030105.
Full textRoman tragedy is a show which can be aptly compared with traditional stage productions such as those from the Far-East. It does not aim at reproducing reality, but is essentially connected with the non-realistic pattern of "ludi" i. E. Games, which the Romans are fond of, for entertainment as well as for collective experiences of great passions, or "motus animi", as different from Greek pathos. Topics are borrowed from Greek mythology, which is part and parcel of Roman culture, and which the Romans are first acquainted with through the plastic arts. The transition from the characters of the Greek stage to those of the Roman stage takes place through imagery, which is basically narrative in Antiquity. Tragedy then turns into a live ekphrasis, an image brought to live by the actor's words and gesture. Through his usage and abusage of the techniques of rhetoric, the actor stirs up "motus animi" in the audience. .

Full textThis thesis try to disclose a hidden signification in Heidegger’s thought. We think that the true meaning of this philosophy can be disclose in his interpretation of early Greek philosophy, Greek tragedy and also Hölderlin poetry. Then, it appears that the word “phusis” is the name for being, and that the notion of Dasein must be understood according to Greek tragedy. We call “the tragic” what is showed in tragedy. And, our thesis is that “the tragic” disclose not only the meaning of the notion of Dasein, but also the original meaning of being. This hidden meaning in Heidegger’s thought is yet secretly present in the first development of his work since Sein und Zeit. In the mean time this sense of Heidegger’s thought don’t appears clearly cause of his ambiguity concerning the question of god

Full textThe aim of this study is to compare Sophocle's Antigone and Euripide's Medea and their transposition in the theater of Anouilh, at the crossroads of literary hermeneutics and political thinking. The theme of justice and law in these four texts provides a point of departure for a demonstration which aims to revitalize an inquiry around political, social, philosophical and existential problems. In taking on this topic, our primary objective is to revitalize the social and political dimensions represented in the fictional situations intended by the tree authors. The appropriation of myth by Anouilh constitutes a new approach, and our method of critical analysis will attempt to underline Anouilh's dramatic innovation. Our objective will be to examine how Anouilh, in the tradition of the great tragic poets, articulated the different levels of his own drama. The myths of Antigone and Medea drama crystallize around particular dramatic action which permit the contemporary author to develop certain key aspects, linked more or less explicitly to the painful experience of world war II. The myth becomes a pretext for the creation of universe which finds itself in a situation of rupture with its origins. Medea and Antigone, projected in the 20 th century, can hardly evoke the classical characters who are so familiar to us
Barbolosi, Laurence. "De la nécessité du messager à celle du confident : pour une approche dramaturgique de l'espace tragique." Rennes 2, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004REN20035.
Full textIn Greek tragedies or French classical tragedies, the aesthetic production of the meaning of the tragic effect is based on a method of connection : the determine role of the visible space and the invisible space. The latter creates a tragical space that coincides with the imaginary of the spectator and throws " the sign of transcendency " back to him. Thus, the spectator can go beyond his pathetic first emotion to reach the tragical conscience. This space needs to be configured, the interpreter of a dramaturgic system : " the poetical mediator ". The examination of Greek tragedies and French classical tragedies shows that this mediatory role can be taken charge by deeply unlike characters, on the one hand , the messenger , on the other hand , the confident, no without revealing the presence of a constant structure in spite of the distant sociohistorical backgrounds
Müller, Frank. "Poétique des objets chez Sophocle : fonctions dramatiques et valeurs symboliques." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0083.
Full textThe thesis provides an analysis of the role of objects in four tragedies (Ajax, Trachiniae, Electra, Philoctetes) and a Satyr play (Ichneutai) by Sophocles. The purpose is to investigate the initial observation that objects have a key function in the general economy of each of the plots and the specificity of this function in Sophocles. The introduction highlights the emergence of the material turn in the humanities, the flexible and operative nature of the category "object', the link with the question of the sign and non-verbal language and points to the absence of the category in Ancient Greek, The object is not discussed as a theatrical prop, but as an entity within theatrical fiction. A distinction is made between the moments when objects are likely to appear on stage and moments when they do appear in a narration or evocation. Within the fictional world of each plot and in the context of the theatrical genre, which combines speech and actions, the focus is on the textual and poetic modes of appearance of intra-fictional objects. Metaphors and images play a major role. Five chapters offer a detailed analysis of objects and their functions and leed to the conclusion in which several overarching observations are made: by means of objects, Sophocles plays on presence and absence, shifts between speech and actions as well as between verbal and non-verbal communication, alludes to absent characters, time frames and spaces, plays on the misuse of their functions, the modalities of giving, sharing and deprivation, personification and reification. In Sophocles, objects play a key role in the expression of the fulfillment of destiny

Caranica, Fuela Michaela. "Mythe et destin dans la tragédie lyrique : Oedipe de Georges Enesco et Edmond Fleg." Paris 4, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040240.
Full textThe study shows the way which Georges Enesco and Edmond Fleg have managed to embody one of the most significant myths of antiquity: the myth of Oedipus. Fleg's libretto seeks to create a "tragedy of lyrical contrasts" while at the same time tracing Sophocles tradition. Starting from the conception that the music has to serve the dramatic text, Enesco finds the specific means of realizing the musical action and representation of characters. The use of the leitmotiv proves the composer's symphonic way of thinking, especially concerning the cyclic instrumental works. The dominance of the melody over the other musical parameters follows a specific pattern of variation within a music testifying the composer's Romanian origin

Full textAs a narrative feature inherited from tin Homeric epic, tricks have been from Aeschylus onwards one of the favorite components of the Attic tragedy. But incontestably, it is the youngest of the three great tragic poets of the fifth-century. Athens, Euripides, who put the greatest emphasis on the exploitation of this dramaturgical device, turning it into an emblematic element of his poetics. Embracing all the complete tragedies of the poet, this dissertation presents a dramaturgical study of the euripidean tricks, which are successively considered at different levels of the drama's construction. The first part thus investigates the euripidean trick-vocabulary, the characters that embody it and bring it into play, and its insertion into the plot. The second part, on the other hand, focuses on the analysis of the discursive and spectacular working of the three typical scenes that compose the trick-pattern : planning-scenes, deceit-scenes, and conclusive scenes, which are about both the results and the unveiling of the deception. This study aims to show that through the representation of tricks. Euripides deeply renews the inherited tragic forms, and at the same time, achieves a systematical exploration of the ambiguities of both language and appearances. By dramatizing his cunning heroes' plots, the poet thus takes part in the intellectual debate that fascinates Athens at the time of the sophists. But he just as well reinterprets the traditional tragic anthropology, presenting the ingenious deceiver and the blind dupe as the two sides of the same humanity

Full textThis research aims to show how and under what conditions is carried out in the French tragic theatre of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, the transposition of such a horrible and atypical ancient theme as the crimes of the Atreus clan. It presents the various aspects of its evolution which is difficult to define, under an anthropological and dramaturgic angle, due to its size. - It examines the definitions of crime and proposes a typology from texts of the mythical tradition and of the tragic theater, both greco-roman and french. -It remains attentive to the ways and configurations which show the cruelty of the crime and of its authors. -It presents, in a synchronic and historical approach, the French theatre plays that have adapted the theme of the House of Atrides, in order to give the reader the most accurate and complete possible perception concerning their affiliations and their differences
Assan, Libé Nathalie. "Mendiants et mendicité dans la littérature grecque archaïque et classique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040113.
Full textThis study/PhD thesis is focused on the beggary and the beggar in Greek literature, from Homer to the cynicism. At the beggining, I am dealing with the study of four word groups : πτωχός ‟beggar”, ἀγύρτης ‟begging priest”, ἀλήτης ‟vagabond”, πλάνης ‟wanderer” and ἐπαίτης, προσαίτης, μεταίτης ‟almsman”. The preserved corpus of Greek literature with mention of the beggary is fortuitously restricted to poetry. By her pragmatic function, ancient Greek poetry remains connected with contemporary social problems. My work's aim is to investigate how literary and aesthetic representations of the beggary have a social function. I adopted three methodological perspectives: a semantic study of the beggary (synonyms and connotations), an study of the literary and dramatic functions of that character (sometimes action accelerator, sometimes factor of emotions), and an analysis of his argumentative role in political and moral reflexions about poverty during the fourth century B.C. The motive of the beggary enabled Greek people to consider a type of civic exclusion, and in parallel, to apprehend the nature of the social cohesion. A chronological approach shows that this character, previously a counter-model of the perfect citizen, becomes - when big economical changes arrive - an endearing character, who symbolically reinstates excluded people in the city and indirectly promote public solidarity

Full textThis work consists in studying the expression and the functions of pain and disease and their tragic potentialities in Sophoclean drama. Il investigates the ways of expressing pain, the metaphoric disease, and the experience of distress as revelating the tragic shape and the dramatic elaboration of each play. A few figurative standard expressions are used to convey subjective sensation of pain and distress, and their metaphoric value is renewed in a poetic way. Subjective sensation is mentionned when suffering plays an important dramatic part. The “double-suffering” pattern stresses the singularity of the tragic hero's awareness. The use of disease in a figurative sense and of metaphors derived from medicine, and especially therapeutics, are investigated. The pathologic behaviour, the disease of love, or the sickness of the polis points out the boundaries between character and tragic disaster. The experience of suffering not so much leads to wisdom than it reveals the sophoclean characters, and clarify their tragic tendances. Learning and understanding are often confined to endurance or to vivid consciousness of suffering. In the last plays, the character only suffers and this suffering paradoxically influences the dramatic progress

Full textThis thesis explores the meaning of corruption in the Hippocratic Corpus and in the tragedies of Euripides. The aim is not only to reread and reinterpret the terms that express corruption, but above all to place them in their historical and social context. A preliminary semantic analysis describes the meaning of two basic Greek terms that express corruption, φθείρω and σήπω and shows the importance of these terms in the classical period. The notion of corruption in the Hippocratic Corpus is studied through the examination of a range of diseases related to the head, thorax, uterus and the two essential fluids of the human body, blood and semen. This analysis shows that corruption in the Hippocratic Corpus is closely related to the evolution of disease and primarily concerns malfunctions of the body. In contrast, the notion of corruption in Euripides, as revealed by the analysis of a selection of tragedies, goes beyond the corporeal sphere and is used metaphorically to express the dramatic intensity in situations when heroes experience extraordinary physical or mental deterioration. Despite this clear distinction, a comparative evaluation of the two works illustrates an intriguing similarity between the two authors regarding the particular role of themes related to women or imminent death in the context of corruption. Overall, this study reveals a complexity and a semantic richness associated with corruption that is largely unknown to the modern reader
Yao, Kouamé Gérard. "Le mythe du héros dans le théâtre de Sophocle." Paris 8, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA083080.
Full textConcerning "The myth of the hero in the theater of Sophocles", this thesis subjects the myth to the test of the theater. So it re-questions the relationship traditionally established between the myth and the tragedy. If, in the epic, the myth was perceived as the word of the age-old origin, restoring the brightness of the divine and heroic actions, to the tragic theater, where the verb is assumed by alive characters in the here and now of the dramatic performance, this myth appeared rather under a substantial shape and a reality. From then on: what authorizes to speak about heroic myth at Sophocles and which are the outlines of the sophoclean heroism? The examination consisted at once in identifying the mythical circles which are the configurations updated by the myth at Sophocles. They are: the fate, the truth and the violence by which the god shows himself. Here the mythical expresses itself in and by the excess of the imperious power passing off on the hero and characterizing his world as a demonic world. The study attempts then to define the relation weaved between the hero and these mythical circles. It is cleanly a question of naming the reaction of the hero in front of what oppresses him. On this matter, the study reveals that the revolt of the hero is followed at once by a movement of reappropriation of the forms of the myth. In the point where, after all, the hero makes body with the violence or the truth or the fate. Finally, the study reconstitutes the Sophoclean creative gesture around the notions of "agôn" and of sacrifice. All in all, the sophoclean heroism is a heroism of the revolt which puts the hero in front of god, in a paradoxical equality

Full textThe analysis of mythological expression in Elizabethan tragedy rests on a study of the functions and conceptions of mythology in the culture of the English Renaissance. A diversity of mythographic approaches led to multiple, simultaneous readings of each myth, while inviting reflection on the problems of interpretation. At the same time, mythology contributed to literary and religious controversies. The emergence of a fashion for mythical elaboration centred on the sovereign paralleled that of scientific scepticism. Tragedy, which explores the magnifying and belittling potentialities of mythological rhetoric, and sets in play symbolic structures that progress from allegory to irony, raises questions about the nature and role of signs. Mythology, a language of stimulating syntheses also expressive of deep fractures, is used to create dramatic tension or ironic effects of anamorphosis in which it may be possible to apprehend what the Elizabethan mind viewed as tragic, that is to say, whatever undermined the combined ideals of renovatio and integratio. Finally, in exploring the expressive potentialities of mythology, the Elizabethans may have arrived at an intuitive inkling of what would become the concept of myth, as related to tragedy
Dos, Santos Ana Clara. "Le rôle de la mère dans la tragédie de Corneille et de Racine." Paris 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA030084.
Full textWheter one is dealing with mythological, historical or religious characters. At corneille and racine's theater mothers are always women inserted in a dual relationships system that objects them to their husbands and children. As they have been reduced to a private life and rejected by public domain, which is exclusive for men, every speech as far as they are concerned, either as a text or in image, links them, since very early, to two main tasks : wife and family mother. Thus, according to ancientry tradition where it is based on, both racine and corneille's tragedy inserts always its maternal characters in two universal maternal archetypes : the good mother - painful mother - and the bad mother, awful mother - monstrous mother. Racine and corneille place their maternal characters in a main subject field at great century eyes : the subject of nature. Therefore, maternal presence allows the creation of an edifying tragedy which rewards good actions and concerns bad ones

Full textThe Roman tragedies of XVIIIth and XIXth centuries have only one poor place in the literary studies. The exceptional longevity of the genre, which, since the XVIIth century, combines a fixed form on subjects which draw their inspiration from the same pages of history, seems to give an impression of monotony and wear, to which one conclude too quickly. One must not forget that these tragedies are in the middle of an intense theatrical life, which reflects philosophical and political questions. Closely related to the policy, the tragic theatre becomes a place of debate, then of propaganda, an instrument to celebrate the government or a means of disputation. Receiving various influences, the roman tragedies leave progressively the universe of convention to which modern criticism restricts them, to become more natural : thanks to the actors and dramatists who transformed codes, Rome is really alive on the tragic scene, testifying to the multiple nuances of a genre which hesitated a long time between classicism and romanticism

We thus have a more precise idea of the different aspects of this city found in literature ; how it inspires images, impressions and feelings, where history and the symbolic rooting of Constantinople in the Greek World are always present. We follow the evolution of this world, and finally its transformation. The Greek authors we study give us a literary vision of Constantinople through which we can read the evolution of Greek mentality from the days of the creation of the Hellenic state to the present time
Aurenty, Ivan. "Cyclope, Cyclopie, postérité littéraire cyclopéenne." Perpignan, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PERP0898.
Full textOur present research is to approach the imaginary of Kyklopes as seen in ancient myths and french literature, so as to take into account the fundamental ambiguity and complexity of these literary figures. Beyond the constitution of a corous mythorum Cyclopum in ancient literature, which cannot be exhaustive anyway, we tend to confirm a traditional distinction - firmly established by ancient mythographs - between different kinds of Kyklopes considered in accordance with their particular functions : sheperds, blacksmiths and wall-builders. In this work we try to prent another typology, which is not meant to replace the one below but rather to fulfill it. Our classification indeed is based upon the literary treatment and reception of the myths related to the Kyklopes in ancient and modern literatures. Three great groups of narratives which have known a vast fortune in post-ancient literatures and arts seem then to emerge : the story of Polyphemus and Ulysses, the tales of the masters of technè concerning blacksmiths and wall-builders Kyklopes, and the "love story" between Polyphemus and Galateia. Our work, which leads us from Homer to literary representations belonging to the twentieth century, tries to take into account the evolution of these rich and various narratives. Our objective is to find out the permanence or changes of these figures and to observe their possible interpretations and the constant plurality of their significations. At least, we have to emphasize the fundamental and fascinating faculty of adaptation of these complex mythological figures

Full textOur work examines the material figure in the prose of the years 1880-1920, period appropriate for our research purposes because of the interest that the writers have shown for the rural community, the family values, the woman and the child, interest that has leaded to the frequent presence of mothers in their works. After having examined the multiple aspects of the motherhood in the texts, we have observed the presence of despotic, narcistic, castrating mothers who exercise their unlimited authority, while the mothers-refuges, tender and serene are almost inexistent. The prose of the period of our concern has not created maternal figures in accordance with the collective representations or the norms proposed by the regulative speech articulated in Greece at the end of the 19th century. It has although unfolded with an especially interesting exactitude - in reference to the scientific material of psychoanalysis - certain plans corresponding to the child's and the mother's deep psychological structure

Full textMy approach in this study is twofold, its basis is a detailed, and in the case of fifteen plays, even an exhaustive reading of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Racine and Grillparzer, for references to the sea, to fire, to light and shadow, to animals, to all those elementrs which conventionally constitute nature. On this foundation, I examine the relationship between nature and the tragic, my postulate being that such references, far from being pure ornament, have a thematic and structural function. Revealing. Analysis shows that for writers of tragedy, nature polarises between the grandiose, the mysterious, the threastening on the one hand, and on the other the wead, the poignant and the threatened: the elements at their most tempestuous, the most immeasurable, animals hunted and hunters, in short violence and victim. Predator and prey. Revealingly too, references to nature in tragedy are not formally equivalent to those in epic. The homeric simile of the epic, presupposing a distinction between tenor and vehicle, betwwen nature and man, gives way to metaphor which does not interrupt the urgency of the action, and which is the stylistic transposition of the inextricable bonds between man and nature
Poivre, Amandine. "La faim dans la littérature grecque jusqu’à Aristophane." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040149.
Full textThis work studies hunger in the light of collective imagination it arouses and its aesthetics in several studied works from Homer to Aristophanes. An initial semantic study enlightens the meanings of the words limos and peinè. Archaic works show a remarkable homogeneity of thought, focused on the position of hunger in the relationship between man and gods, and also between man and his own mortality. Hunger is a dread punishment, sent by gods, conceived in a concrete way as an external, aggressive entity attacking the men as well as the cities and invading them. Unity is also around the theme of gaster, belly, which is metonymic of hunger that symbolises human mortality and brings the men into contact with savagery. We can talk about a poetics of the belly : there is an heroism about hunger in the Odyssey and in the hesiodic poems. During the 5th century, the concept of hunger becomes more and more rational and the anthropological matter loses importance, whereas generic constraints come into the foreground. As far as comedy is concerned, hunger gives reasons to laugh, to lament, to denounce some behaviours and to think about the comic genre itself. Tragedy lets hunger appear as a pathetic display of the disorder which is peculiar to tragic world. Historiography pays attention to the part taken by hunger in the historical events. Through the whole studied corpus, the theme of hunger distinguishes itself by its metaphorical fertility
Jobez, Romain. "La question de la souveraineté dans la tragédie baroque silésienne." Paris 10, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA100130.
Full textThe Silesian baroque tragedy, rediscovered by Walter Benjamin in his work on the Trauerspiel, enacts the violent death and martyrdom of monarchs through examples drawn from XVIIth century european repertoire or in opposition to classical French aesthetics. From a critical comment of the Bejaminiam work, seen as a theory of representation functional through emblematics, this study reveals how the Trauerspiel treats the question of sovereignty, submited to the reflection of the spectator placed in the position of juge. This original form of tragedy, born in a particular political context, accompanies throughout its history the transformation of the medieval sovereign into an absolutist monarch. It inscribes at the heart of emblematic drama the loss of order regarding the vision of the world which prevailed in the Middle Age and enabled the existance of the theogolical-politics, to wich it sustitutes the political subject entering modernity

Full textAlthough he is not always the main character, the father is a most important figure in French classical tragedy. In spite of his paternal love, he is first and foremost characterized by his authority that he exercises extensively. In the conflicts hinging especially upon love and politics that occur between him and his children, he often gains the upper hand. His influence on the fates of his children, who are sometimes viewed as mere doubles of his own self, is paramount. In the XVIIIth century, the father is a more and more pathetic figure, but, as he eventually reinforces his children's feeling of guilt, he is nonetheless more powerful than the awe-inspiring father in the XVIIth century tragedy

Full textBetween 1600 and 1620, Elizabethan and Jabobean tragedy often focuses on a macabre stereotype - characters are shown staring at the face of Death. This stereotype is largely borrowed from the cultural setting of Shakespeare's day, which was dominated by the visual display of death, as defined in the memento mori conventions. Both the text and the staging of the tragedies of that age are concerned with staring at the Face of Death. The word " skull " and the stage property that corresponds to it cannot merely be considered as emblems of mortality, because they are both linked with the achetypes of Death. Indeed, these macabre signs regularly emphasize the spontaneous response to the staging of violence and death, so much so that they tend to unveil a death that refuses to be controlled by any emblematic setting or allegorical strategy. This ambivalent theatrical semiosis is studied in five tragedies : The Atheist's Tragedy, The Revenger's Tragedy, Hamlet, The Duchess of Malfi and King Lear
Pierre, Christine. "L'imaginaire de la montagne dans le monde antique." Perpignan, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PERP1094.
Full textAntique world is confronted with a territory which it does not master: the mountain. By its nature, this anxiogenic place belongs to the divine world and gives off supernatural energies. The man who climbs his slopes is confronted with this essential savagery for which the created world tries to regulate in plain. This repulsion which generates this locus tremendum arouses paradoxically an attractiveness maintained by the myths and legendary narratives. By its axial shape, the mountain connects the different worlds, from the infernal world to the celestial space. As for its layering, it is lived as an initiatory course. The presence of an interzone facilitates this traffic of the mortal and the immortal. During the meetings, marked with the nostalgia for a lost gold age, games of power are going to bind and to untying the fates. So this territory so rejected becomes an object of greed and sees itself instrumented little by little by the poets and mythographes. Become an archetype, the mountain is going to stand out as a space of the origins of Rome

Full textThis study examines the presence of the Ulysses myth in Modern Greek poetry of the 20th century. It contains a thematic comparison of different motifs of the myth, as told in the Odyssey of Homer. The main methodology used for this study is based on the theories of intertextuality. Various rearrangements and reinterpretations of the myth, concerning either the personalities of the mythical figures or certain events of the epopee, are examined and analysed in the present thesis. The Ulysses myth has interested many authors all over the world including a considerable number of Greek authors. During the last century, recourse to the ancient myths has been proven very important, and, together with the political events in Greece and the literary movements, offers a rich study material. The Greek poets –cosmopolites, traditional bourgeoisie, communists, surrealists etc. – have treated the myth each by emphasising the aspect that seemed most important according to his ideology and poetics. Thus, we have attempted to perceive the evolution of the Ulysses myth in parallel with the history of Greece over last century

Full textCodes of pictural language make possible the association of divided notions and are therefore particularly adapted to the ambivalent and paradoxical nature of Dionysos, a god with an epiphanic mode of manifestation. On attic and south italian vases at the end of the fifth century B. C. , two antithetic portraits coexist. The Dionysos' new beardless face, opposite to the traditionally bearded one, generate some problems of identification also bound to the loss of self identity inherent to his orgiastic cult. Two main themes correspond to both of his physionnomical types : the happy komos of the thiasos presided by the master of wine, and a serene blessedness in which Dionysos, youthful and settled, appears as guarantor of abundance and peace. Then we are faced to the question of mystical doctrines contaminaiting the dionysiac religion and the answer brought to his initiates' expectations in after-life. Moreover the persistence of the ancient type and the creation of a new type reflect the adaptability of dionysism and its noteworthy continuity
Lacore, Michelle. "Le rôle de l'hospitalité dans la poésie grecque d'Homère aux Tragiques (du symbole au prétexte)." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040203.
Full textPraising hospitality seems to be a standing topic in Greek poetry from homer to tragics. However, the manner the poets deal with theme which is at once heroic, moral and religious, is evidence for very different choices by homer and the other poets; these choices are in keeping with the semantic value bestowed upon the basic term (xeinos) and based on different ideas of the connection between myth and reality. Homer, increasing the gap between myth and reality, blurs the institutional lines of that typical heroic custom, because they are too realistic, whereas its presence is powerfully enhanced in his poems by the constant meaning "guest host" bestowed upon xeinos and stressed by several stylistic devices and by the unmatched importance the rites are given. Hospitality becomes really the hinge of epic morals and homer, giving it a symbolic range, makes it the touchstone for genuine humanity. In other poets, the meaning of xeinos is obviously twofold ("host guest" and "stranger"), while, in the meantime, hospitality becomes simply an ornament or a dramatic tool. What the poets of the fifth century afford most original spring from their common will to link together that mythic topic and reality, by using…

Full textPriapus is one of the most popular god of antiquity, but he is also the most unknown, scoffed and scorned of all greek and roman gods. Indeed, how is it possible to think, in our so religiously shared times, that the people of Antiquity could have believed in such an obscene, bawdy and sometimes ridiculous god ? The goal of our study is to clear Priapus' reputation showing how complex his representation was, according to the place, and the will of the sponsor of the representation. The particularly rich and various clothing he wears goes against the reputation of aggressive nudity, characteristic of this god whose various body movements, full of symbols, is in contradiction with another strong prejudice : his unvarying exhibitionist behaviour. Coming from Minor Asia, Priapus arrived in Rome with a cultural background, that he constitued going across all the countries and the regions where his cult settled down to such an extent that he managed to reach all the layers of the population, becoming therefore one of the most represented divinity of antiquity. A literary genre is even dedicated to Priapus, giving his footprint in the legends that are built around his character. The making of a considerable iconographical study allows to our study the establishment of comparisons, constants and differences in the representations of the god and to make a confrontation with greek and latin texts about Priapus. Through the three appendices that have never been gathered and that enrich this work, we hope to help restoring the character of this god who should be better known

Full textTwentieth century Latin American promethean literature is the product of the melange of archetypal, cultural and historical “voices”, amongst these voices figures Anglo-Saxon and Germanic promethean literature. This thesis identifies six modern Latin American promethean works, analyzes them from a Jungian perspective, establishes and discusses their parallels with earlier Anglo-Saxon and Germanic promethean works and, finally, presents a classification for promethean characters from modern Latin American literature. The first part of this thesis discusses, from a Jungian point of view, the archetypes of the mature masculine and their role in the process of individuation which the promethean myth chronicles. The second part presents the development of promethean literature from ancient Greece and Rome up to seven Anglo-Saxon and Germanic works : Faust, 1st part (1808) and 2nd part (1832) by Johann von Goethe, Frankenstein (1816) by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Prometheus unbound (1820) by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the short story “the birthmark” (1843) by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) by Robert Louis Stevenson, The portrait of Dorian Gray (1891) by Oscar Wilde, and The island of dr. Moreau (1896) by Herbert George Wells. The third part analyzes six fictional works by six modern Latin American authors: Prometeo (1943) by the Ecuadorian Humberto Salvador, La invención de Morel (1940) by the argentine Adolfo Bioy Casares, El señor presidente (1946) by the Guatemalan Miguel Angel Asturias, Los pasos perdidos (1953) by the Cuban Alejo Carpentier, Cien años de soledad by the Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the short story “las ruinas circulares” from Ficciones (1941) by the argentine Jorge Luis Borges

Full textThe conquest of the Golden Fleece is a myth which on the one hand has deep roots in tradition, and on the other hand cannot be grasped easily because of the great number of his transformations. The works the myth has inspired are actually countless. Facing so many texts, images and commentaries, our work concentrates on the works prior to the renaissance, lays emphasis on some aspects of the identity and the evolution of the myth. It aims at bringing to light some mechanism of the west creation, through the study of the successive distorsions of a mythical model. The first part exhibits the geographic and chronological articulations of the myth, as they can be reshaped from the works of poets and mythographs that have dealt with the whole of Jason and his companions' adventures : Pindar, Apollonius Rhodius, Diodorus Siculus Ovid, Seneca, Valerius Flaccus - and also with the help of all the antique allusion s to the myth. The second part of our work is split in four essays devoted to the main questions raised par the myth and its evolution. The first essay searches for the improbable if not impossible, typological, genetical and political, unity of the myth. The second analyses the ambivalence of the significance of the mythical story, and of its protagonist s. The third studies the new favor of the argonauts' myth during the middle ages, while the myth of Medea was much more famous at the beginning of the middle ages

Dopo secoli di interpretazioni allegoriche, alla fine del XVIII secolo, grazie al genio goethiano Prometeo è entrato trionfalmente nell'arte e alle profondità dell'immaginario collettivo moderno. Accanto alle innumerevoli versioni letterarie recensite dall'antichità ai nostri giorni, esistono anche numerose "traduzioni musicali", repertoriate nel nostro catalogo. Attraverso uno studio sintetico delle tematiche che scaturiscono dal mito nel XIX e XX secolo, considerato in queste sue versioni musicali (Beethoven, Alkan, Liszt, Nono, Skrjabin, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Parry, Fauré, Emmanuel, Orff, Couroupos, Theodorakis) e teatrali (Wilson), ma anche nelle sue relazioni complesse con la filosofia, l'estetica, la poesia, le arti figurative, la drammaturgia e la danza, abbiamo cercato di cogliere le linee evolutive della figura prometeica nell'immaginario musicale degli artisti, considerati nella Weltanschauung della loro nazione e della loro epoca, alfine di svelare l'essenza musicale profonda propria al mito prometeico
G. Bachelard considered Prometheus as a " paradoxical figure " with an "emblematic value but which also scatters into multiple images " (Fragments of the fire poetics). After many centuries of allegorical interpretations, the Promethean myth, with Goethe's genius's help, came triumphantly into the art at the turning point of the XVIIIth century fathoming the recesses of collective imaginary at the modern era. In addition to numerous literary versions listed from the ancient Greek civilization to our time, there are also many "musical translations" which we present in a subject catalogue. We carried out a recapitulating study of themes derived from the myth seen on one hand through its XIXth and XXth centuries musical ( Beethoven, Alkan, Liszt, Nono, Skrjabin, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Parry, Fauré, Emmanuel, Orff, Couroupos, Theodorakis) and theatrical (Wilson) interpretations, on the other hand through its relations with philosophy, poetry, plastic arts, dramatic art or dance. It allowed us to emphasize the evolutionary features of the Promethean figure into the artists' musical creative imaginary taking into consideration the Weltanschauung of their nation and of their time in order to detect the deep musical essence characteristic of promethean myth

Full textGreek tragedy is the full and entire expression of the tragic phenomenon. From the former we can deduce three elements capable of defining latter. The tragic concerns the being of man. To be perceived, an ontological continuity needs to be established. It takes the shape of a aporie. Anti-Hegelian philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche demonstrate this hypothesis. The tragic produces a feeling : anguish for the first one, disgust with life for the second one and joy for the third one. A more strickly aesthetic definition of the phenomenon, offered specifically by Maeterlinck and Wagner, shows the tragic mainly as an effect. This first study highlights the conceptual tools needed to comprehend the tragic in the tramatic texts of the twentieth century, and shows how the tragic is invested in the transition between modernism and postmodernism. .

Full textCompared with the french one, the greek naturalistic output from the period 1865-1920 is quite different as concerns the topic : essentially urban in france, but mainly rural in greece. However, the methodology is similar, as it is a truly documentary one. The greek, like the french, used to base on documents borrowed from scientific information and to carry out themselves socio- ethnographical studies when their personal experience was not sufficient. The most punctilious writers, such as zola, carcavitsas or daudet, even wrote out some notebooks, diaries and other small journalls, which constituted a very meticulous and accurate exercise of reflection, necessary for the elaboration of their works. Now the naturalistic work is finally an intricate universe, gathering within itself social sciences and literature, as well as document and art work. The genesis of the french and the greek naturalistic works is revealing of the way in which the exploitation of socio-ethnographical and folkloric document and of popular language acts in the naturalistic novels and short stories. The analysis of the exploitation of the gathered documents shows that they are above all the elements of a narrative and epic literary transformation. The preponderence of the literary motivation entails that the different sociological borrowings used in the naturalistic work cannot be blindly relied on

Full textIn this dissertation, the Greek maritime literature is investigated for the first time sociologically, economically and culturally with the use of a complex and original method (that posed many difficulties) under the designation "methodology of cultural literary sociography". With social and economic variables with regards to class, gender and maritime sectors (piracy, seamanship, fishing etc. ), the ideological and ideologized maritime models, maritime myths, the supertemporal maritime symbols, etc. Are investigated through short stories and novels, while maritime ethnography, maritime characters and social models are traced. In the framework of the science of the sociology of maritime literature (which is virtually unknown in Greece) for the first time, a)a code of maritime literary values is drawn, b)sea-centered Greekness as an ideological model and a socialization mechanism is investigated, c)with multiform cultural complexes, culture as a structural material of social constitution was investigated
