Martineau, Anne. « Les nains dans la litterature arthurienne francaise du moyen age ». Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040197.
Texte intégralThis research is a compilation and a study of french arthurian dwarves from the end of the twelfth century to the end of the fourteenth. It is a attempt to show that a great part of their origin is drawn from creatures belonging to folklore itself, namely : goblins. They inherited from them their numerous and strange abilities which are a remnants of magic powers. However, the arthurian dwarf may have appeared in literature only because of the controversy held against real court dwarves. Indeed, the feudal society of the twelfth century in europe as a whole, seems to have disapproved of the privileged position they held close to princes. A topical subject, the dwarf attracted public interest, and this picturesque character soon became indispensable to novelists. The fashion for dwarveswhich reached its climax in the second quarter of the thirteenth century-was such, that they vanished from chivalric literature with the genre itself
Glencross, James. « Un thème médiéval dans le romantisme français : la "matière de Bretagne" dans la critique littéraire et dans l'érudition de 1800 à 1860 ». Grenoble 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990GRE39025.
Texte intégralThe thesis aims to examine the views of literary critics and scholars of the first half of the nineteenth century on one of the theree branches of medieval french literature in jehan bodel's classification, the "matter of britain". The study of the contribution of literary criticism to the understanding of medieval and in particular arthurian texts takes as its framework the literary debate on romanticism and its consequences. Against this background it attempts to show how attitudes towards the texts reflect some of the general trends of french romanticism. In relation to works of scholarship of the period the thesis studies to what extent the views of scholars, especially in the areas of the aesthetic value of the texts and the origins of the matter of britain, are also a reflection of concerns which can be called "romantic"
Richer, Laurence. « Une vision du moyen age : michelet ». Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040176.
Texte intégralThis study deals with the vision of the middle ages which michelet puts forward throughout his works, whether historical or literary. It sets out to analyse this vision by demonstrating its mythical consistency. The first section deals with the middles ages considered as a source. For michelet, the middles ages represent first and foremost the youth, both of france and of the world. The second section is an attempt to show that michelet's vision takes shape as a reaction against a catholic and traditionalist view. In so doing, he reverses the significance of this basic view, without however modifying its fundamentals. The final section aims to show that michelet's middle ages extend beyond the historical. A moment at which time stands still, they escape from linear time, becoming part of a cycle of death and rebirth. Thus michelet, historian though he is, plays his part in shaping a mythical view of the middle ages
Briano, Simone. « Il Roman d’Alexandre in versi : studio della tradizione manoscritta e edizione critica dell’Alexandre décasyllabique ». Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lille (2022-....), 2025. https://pepite-depot.univ-lille.fr/ToutIDP/EDSHS/2025/2025ULILH008.pdf.
Texte intégralThe thesis «Etude et commentaire des manuscrits du Roman d'Alexandre de Alexandre de Paris et édition du 'Roman d'Alexandre décasyllabique' » explores the tradition of the Roman d'Alexandre d'Alexandre de Paris, the most important medieval text in french verse dedicated to Alexander the Great, through codicological and ecdotic perspectives and the critical edition of a particular version of this work. The study is structured in a dual and complementary perspective. In the first volume, I propose a systematic research on the manuscripts that transmit the text: thus a dossier of documents dedicated to each witness is produced, including two fragments which, until now ignored by the critics, are published critically as an appendix to this work. Some detailsc noted during this survey - such as the iconographic programs of certain manuscripts and the geographical provenance of some witnesses - are studied more organically in separate chapters. The second part of the work is dedicated to the texts contained in these manuscripts. The genesis of the Roman d'Alexandre is indeed long and complicated: in some witnesses we can read passages from older works, which Alexandre de Paris seems to have been inspired by - directly or indirectly. It seemed appropriate to keep a genealogical perspective, to better analyze the complexities of this evolution. The starting point is the Alexandre octosyllabique, a well-known and important fragment for its antiquity, which constitutes the origin of the French tradition in verses on Alexander the Great. I then study the Alexandre décasyllabique, offering a new critical edition of the text, accompanied by an original Italian translation. Special attention is given to the three witnesses of this work, which are particularly delicate from an ecdoctic point of view and deserve to be studied carefully I then pass to the analysis of the Roman d'Alexandre d'Alexandre de Paris, through three exemplary case studies. The study concludes with a small dossier of these works that, later, were born under the influence of Alexandre de Paris' roman, as the works that make up the Peacock Cycle. Two appendices complete the work: the already mentioned edition of the two unpublished fragments and the publication of the numerous notes in the margins of one of the witnesses, F (Parma, Bibl. Palatine, Parm. 1206) in the margins of his work
Guérin-Dalle, Mese Jeannine. « L'egypte et les voyageurs italiens. Fin moyen-age - renaissance ». Paris 4, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040026.
Texte intégralFrom the 14th century onwards, the number of travellers who went to egypt, and who left a relation of their travel, has increased. The study of these texts is chiefly interesting in two domains: literature and the history of mentalities. They don't belong to a recognized "genre" and they have been ignored or disregarded for a long time. However, they have literary merits which must be highlighted. On the other hand, analysing them makes it possible to finf out the mentality of these western people facing muslims, and to perceive its evolution during the three centuries that we consider. First an object of pilgrimage, outgrowth of the one in palestine, egypt becomes in the 16th century a place that is visited for its sake, in order to study medicine, natural history, in order to discover its obellisks and its temples, in an expanding space. Incessantly coveted, politically or commercially, egypt remains for these travellers a mythical country that attracts and fascinates them
Lesaffre, Marie. « La litterature biblique de l'ancien testament dans l'ordre teutonique au moyen age ». Amiens, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998AMIE0004.
Texte intégralThe present study deals with the adaptation of books of the old testament by or for members of the teutonic order (judith, esther, the maccabees, ezra and nehemiah, daniel, job, the history of the old testament, totalling 52516 lines), and with the prose transpositions jorg stuler made of some of these poems. A transcription of two unedited texts from stuler's manuscript is offered. The works under study are anonymous pieces composed between 1250 and 1350 for collective reading at mealtime as prescribed by the order. The books paraphrased were chosen with reference to the mission of the order, in particular during the crusade into prussia which aimed at converting the last heathens of europe. Their first purpose was to stimulate the knights' enthusiasm, using biblical narratives to illustrate the defense of the faith through war. Judas maccabeus and his brothers, in particular, who fought to defend the religion the greek kings wanted to abolish, were emblematic figures of the teutonic knights. When, at the end of the 13th century, the conquest of prussia was completed, the stories about the warrior heroes of the old testament served as glorification of the feats achieved by the order. The present study reveals an evolution in the themes dealt with in these paraphrases. In the earlier works the stress was laid on the vindication of the holy war (the maccabees). Later works were more concerned with the glorification of ascetism (daniel) and patience under trial (job). The various biblical paraphrases all follow the same pattern: prologue, paraphrase of the biblical text, epilogue. The authors adapt the style of the biblical narrative to the medieval taste. They add glosses to the text, using mainly commentaries from the historia scolastica and the glossa ordinaria. They also show an interest for the society of their time and for secular history. Stuler's works, on the other hand, are a series of narratives intented for entertainment rather than for edification

Saladin was made famous both in eastern and western countries'by his victory over the frankish army in jerusalem in 1187. Although he conquered the holy city, he remained the most respected muslim leader in europe. Renowned for his military valour, he was ho less famous for his magnanimity towards the vanquished. His tolerance, generosity and courtesy to women endeased him to his frankish foes who went so far as to compare him to the most virtuous chirstian monarchs. In their eyewitness acconnts, western chronichers paid tribute to his qualities and moral stature. Poets and troubadours sang his prises in their verse. During his lifetime, he became a legendary figure in europe and his fame kept growing throughout the middle ages. As a tribute to his merits, he was dubbed a knight, which put him on a par with the greatest frankish knights ; he was credited with frankish origins, which gave the franks a share in his glory ; finally, as he had been a paragon of knightly virtues, he was christened to ensure the salvation of his soul
MORA, LEBRUN LEBRUN FRANCINE. « Lire, ecouter et recrire l'"eneide". Receptions de l'epopee virgilienne du ixe au xiie siecle ». Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040148.
Texte intégralBased on the concept of "reception" defined by h. R. Jauss, the thesis contains three parts. The first part recalls the conditions of the transmission of the virgil's works according to three different manners : the textual, the mnemonic and the translatio. The second part, dealing mainly with the mnemonic transmission, shows how, in the memory of the carolingian scholars, the tight association of the aeneid with the christian latin poets who rewrited it, especially prudentius, the most original among them, led to an ideologic and prosodic transformation of the virgil's epic, in the mediaevam latin epics and in the rythmic poems. This explains the well-known breaking between the aeneid and the old french epics. The third part points out the originality and the fertility of the renewal of the xiith century, when the anglo-norman historiography and the school of chartres, exploring from dares new areas of the virgilian imaginary, renewing the fabula, and reviving the exegetic virgilian tradition (including boece and martianus capella), led to the birth of the first roman, eneas, based on the name and the commentary, and to a new reading of the aeneid, which influenced chretien of troyes and later dante

THE STATISTICAL STUDY REVEALS LEXICAL FREQUENCIES (VERY HIGH OR LOW) WHICH NOT ONLY EXPOSE A CERTAIN TYPE OF NARRATIVE, BUT ALSO A CERTAIN WAY OF REPRESENTING THE WORLD.

Walter, Philippe. « L'ordre et la memoire du temps : la fete et le calendrier dans les oeuvres narratives francaises de chretien de troyes a la mort artu ». Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040176.
Texte intégralThe study of temporal marks and calendar mentions in the french narrative from chretien de troyes to la mort artu (1170-1230) emphasizes an esthetical conception of the narrative where the theme of feast and the two concepts of order and memory (used in mmedieval comput) are essential. The analysis of calendar and courteos feasts shows that this literature promotes a culture based on play and pleasure, in opposition to a culture based on order (ordo) symbolized by liturgical feasts. In medieval societies, the calendar is a strategical space where two memories struggle for power. Medieval hagiography tries to conciliate them : it perpetuates old mythological substrata of paganism in the seasons of liturgical year. A comparative reading conscious of the calendar structure of medieval "imaginaire" explains several themes of courteosy and a few aspects of the french popykar tales
Paoli, Guy. « La taverne au moyen age : arras et l'espace picard ». Paris 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA030099.
Texte intégralThe introduction delineates the field of researches (the area of the picard dialect), the time (from the twelfth to the sixteenth century), the matter (all literary genres, religious and lay legislations and judiciary documents). The whole work is divided into four main chapters. Chapter one tries to dispel any confusion between taverns, wine-shops, inns and hostelries. To the retailing of wine the tavern adds the drinking of it on the premises, then its food function grows by adding bread, cheese, herring, grilled-meat and tripe (so to speak "revelry") to wine. It is the feasting centre and a primary place in the life of brotherhoods and guilds. Yet, as a rule, the tavern will not afford food. When it strays from this customary way it is hardly to be distinguished from a wine-shop. Originally the latter is but drinking-place in which "goudale" is the main thing. Then wine is found there, then meals can be had and rooms at last, which makes the place a rival for the inn and the "oste bourgeois". The hostelry affords its stable, and it accommodates well-to-do people. Chapter two examines tavern sites and structures through their distinctive features (ring foliage, banners), then their sign-boards. After that we see the advanced posts and out-buil dings ("buffet," "achinte," "cortil"), the inner space and its sub-structures (cellars and "boves"), the upper floor (with "solier" and upper chamber) and the ground floor ("bouge" and lower chamber). A longing for intimacy is to be seen in the use of the hearth and a floor strewn with rushes, while public closets lead us to analyse public behaviour in towns. Chapter three deals with fraud, classified and related to ancient tradition. Christianity, however, sets its stamp upon modern legislation. Two significant figures are studied through their evolutions : the isaic cliche "there is water in your wine" and the mosaic law about honest weights and measures. The last chapter deals with dice at the tavern. It develops a couple af notions: the first one about the man stripped of his clothes by the publican, the second one about the link that people, during the middle ages, felt to exist between dice an demon. The tavern, there, assumes metaphysical proportions. The conclusion rests on antithetic and complementary connections between tavern and church
Bordier, Jean-Pierre. « Recherches sur le message theatral des mysteres de la passion en francais (13eme-16eme siecles) ». Paris 4, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040007.
Texte intégralThe french passion plays were written and staged between mid-13th and mid-16th centuries. All of them reenact christ's death because it opens a new era, when men may hope for salvation thanks to the preaching and sacraments of the church, whose triumph puts an end to synagogue's reign. Characters are not depicted for their own sake, but according to an antithetical pattern: in any circumstance a believer is opposed to an unbeliever. The only sure way to damnation is despair. Apparently, unbelievers alone make things progress; actually, the events depend only on christ's obedience to hisfather's will and to the scriptures. A. Greban (1450) and j. Michel (1486) take great care of an accurate rendering of time, space and causality. The doctrine of the atonement is the main theological issue. Greban relies on aquinas' thought (christ offers overflowing satisfaction for adam's sin) since michel insists on christ's merite and keeps therefore the play within the bounds of the public life. Along with this high standard of conceptual elaboration, greban builds a mythical structure which his followers expand with new apocryphal material. An elder son (lucifer, cain, judas, the jewry) rbels against his father through pride and attacks his younger brother (adam, abel, the king of scarioth's son, jesus) through envy. This myth aims at legitimating the christian church as the end of history, until the protestant schism makes it obsolete in the 1560s
Dubost, Francis. « L'autre, l'ailleurs et l'autrefois : aspects fantastiques de la litterature narrative medievale (xiie - xiiie siecles) ». Paris 3, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030025.
Texte intégralWhen applied to french medieval narrative literature of the 12th and 13th centuries, the fantastic, as a concept, designates a semantic category rather than a literary genre. In medieval narrative, fantastic episodes are underpropped by resurgent figments of an archaic imaginary (a mythical pre-christian age, l'autrefois) as well as by the traditions of wonders from abroad (l'ailleurs) - whether from brittany or the east - and by the super imposition of historical, moral, and metaphysical patterns of evil on the fantasized image of the alien (l'autre), i. E. The monster or devi- lish creature. Fantastic phenomena occur at the intersection between two modes of thought - symbolical thought on the vertical axis and discursive thought on the horizontal axis - as these coexist and conflict at the time. An examination of the topography of the fantastic (including the forest, the island, the castle, the churchyard) and of its actors (including monstrous animals, semi-humans, giants and agents of the devil) reveals two great categories : the fantastic whic involves facts (the blee- ding spear, diabolic shows, "deablies"), and the fantastic which involves beings (the fatherless child : merlin). The study of the links subsisting between the fantastic and the allegorical narrative reveals to what considerable extent the potential of images outweighs christian

Texte intégralThis study is an attempt at defining the "death by love" motif in terms of a poetics common to both troubadours and trouveres, as distinct from its essentially hyperbolic lexical usage. The first part is devoted to a preliminary analysis of the semantic and stylistic devices used first by the poets of the langue d'oc, then by those of the langue d'oil, to signify a necessarily virtual death by love. The second part examines those narrative texts - romances and shorter works, most of them in the langue d'oil - in whitch death is realized, paying attention to the diversity of its forms, and taking into account the break introduced by the emergence of prose forms in the 13th century. The third part extends the results of these explora- tions to the whole of the poetic corpus and is thus able to identify some of the devices (structure and movement of the songs, metaphors, substitutes) used to signify death by love as a metaphor of the death of song. A synthesis is offered by three texts in whitch the intertextuality of the motif is best represented in the combination of the lyrical and narrative modes
Boutet, Dominique. « Mythes et ideologies de la royaute dans la litterature francaise medievale (1100-1250) : charlemagne et arthur ». Paris 3, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA030023.
Texte intégralThis study aims to highlight the conditions which lead to the formation of both literary myths of charlemagne and arthur, to define their nature and to assess the function of the ideologies (augustinism, feodalism, indo-euroepan thought). The ambiguities of the king's estate (royal blood versus divine election) is reflected in the functioning of institutions (justice, war, feodal relationships). Augustinism is the prevaling ideology, in conflict with feodalism. The courtly mutation of the king's figure fruitlessly tries to overcome this contradiction. This crisis can explain the reappearance of indo-european schemes. The epic fiction and the arthurian romance investigate ideal, crises and discrepancies, in relation with the ambiguity of kingship. Hence, from 1180, grows a crisis of the image of kingship, which is by no means an ideological contestation of the king's office. Aesthetical and narrative needs often alter the royal figures. Charlemagne and arthur appear like crystallisations of concerns and research of a society which is questionning itself on its own signification and fate. Therefore, they are quite mythical figures. The present analysis involves about thirty chansons de geste and as many arthurian romances

Texte intégralMarietti, Marina. « La cite dans l'oeuvre des auteurs toscans de dante a machiavel ». Paris 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA030203.
Texte intégralThe present collection of essays gathers under a common heading a major poet, a historian whose thought radically transformed western political theory, and three minor storytellers. Its topic is the presence of the tuscan city in the very texture of the works written by those authors, in the years between the middle ages and the renaissance. Only two of the writers considered, i. E. Dante and machiavelli - who chronogically delimit the scope of this study - reflected explicitly and in a systematic fashion on the issues which beset their city, florence, in their respective time periods. The poet and the historian are in fact separated by two entire centuries. By the 1500's, the merchant society which had come into being, through an actual revolution in dante's times, was dissolving under the double impact of its internal crises and the pressure of foreign armies born out of the same feudal matrix from which the cities had emerged. The works of the short story writers also refract the issues pertaining to the times and urban environments that produced them, albeit in a fragmentary manner, given the storytellers' primary concern with entertaining their readers. The city necessarily exerted its influence through its hold on the minds and emotions of its citizens. More importantly, the examples chosen, the col- lections by franco sacchetti from florence, giovanni sercambi from lucca, and gentile sermini from siena, clearly show that the city's influence is manifested here at the level of ecriture in as striking a fashion as in the works written by greater authors

Texte intégralAfter a short historical synthesis, the study deals with mary magdalen's liturgical figure, from gregory the great's allegorical exegesis to the xvth century moralizing preaching. The with hymns and prayers in her honour. The second part explores the emergence of the marvellous in the hagiographic legend elaborated by vezelay. The ever growing pregnance of profane motives and the political use of the saint by the duchy of burgundy. The study finally approaches the role of mary magdalen in medieval dramatic art, from the liturgical latin drama to xvth century passion mysteries, that is to say, from allegory to ecclesial didactism
Maurice, Jean. « Le bestiaire d'amour de richard de fournival et le livre des animaux de brunetto latini : les bestiaires dans la seconde moitie du xiiieme siecle ». poitiers, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989POIT5018.
Texte intégralThis work, based on a meticulous analysis of richard de fournival's bestiaire d'amour and of the livre des animaux (i. E. A subdivision of brunetto latini's livre du tresor), proposes some hypotheses about the evolution of moralizing bestiaries during the second half of the xiiith century. Several points are carefully studied : the dispositio of both works, which breaks away from the standard manner; the way in which they build new signs by transforming the conventional figurative writing ; the differences between these new types of narratives and those created by the books of exempla. Thus, we can state that "allegorism" is then receding. As a matter of fact, both works give evidence of a pragmatism unknown in the canonical bestiaries and, at least to such an extent, in the encyclopaedic speech : the manner in which brunetto latini interprets animals is rational, whereas richard de fournival uses them to defend a realistic erotic code that refuses all love codifications, and especially those of courtesy. Breaking away from idealism, both works, each in its own way, and through their joint effect, play a major part in the disappearance of moralizing bestiaries

Texte intégralThe study of the literary circles of champagne under the counts of the 13th century involves twofold : on the public, which commissioned the works and ensured their success, on the authors who, to meet the demand, relied on a tradition and the achievements of their fellow - writers and - countrymen; then, champagne used to shelter a great deal of small "courts" , where the amateurs lived. In these circles, the province plays an unquestionable part; their presence chiefly asserts itself in writing of time and space. But already, behind the toponyms, the mark of an imaginary reconstruction can be discerned : the presence of champagne gives way to a most literary image of the writer's "country". In order to meet the very keen taste for exoticism, the works exploit the sacred and adventurous marvellous of the east, recreate a legendary celtic land; but the demand for "fine style" appears essential, especially in the depiction of the heroes'exemplary love affairs, which use words from lyric poetry. For 13th century champagne is above all a land of trouveres* from gace brule and his school to thibaut the fourth's splendid imagery, lyric art keeps beeing cultivated, contradicted, renewed; it becomes the intertext where the literary circles are going to draw an aesthetic conception system of exigency and of the absolute. From the fascination of lyric writing, whether it is accepted or rejected, emerges the first definition of a style characteristic of champagne : "le bien dire" in keeping with the literary image of a land become song
Cornilliat, François. « Rhétorique et poésie : l'éloge et l'ornement chez les grands rhétoriqueurs ». Paris 8, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA080536.
Texte intégralThis work studies the practice of verbal omament by the "grands rhetoriqueurs". Such figures are to be read in the context of demonstrative rhetoric (blame and praise). The first part deals with the theory of rhyme, particularly "ryme equivoque", defined as "musique naturelle" (e. Deschamps), and linked to some of the major "elocution" figures, most notably the four "gorgianisms" (annominatio, compar, similier cadens, similiter desinens), which status changes in christian rhetoric (see for instance augustine). Verbal omaments, as used in demonstrative rhetoric, are ideologically related to representations of femininity which one finds throughout medieval literature: praise of virginity, blame of make up and all "artificial" omaments. Human speech is allowed to use omaments provided that it dentes them to women. The second part analyzes a variety of rhyme and verse devices and patterns, in different stylistical contexts: obscenty in "rebus de picardie" or the sottie, mysticism in destrees, humour in marot. Fabri and bouchet show how to understand "rymes syncopees" et "retrogrades". Guillaume alexis's l'abc des doubles shows that "ryme equivoque" may be used to fight linguistic and moral ambiguities. A lest chapter deals with the problem of omament in texts devoted to the virgin mary, from gautier de coinci's miracles de nostre dame to the "chant royal" in the xvth et xvith centuries. The third part deals with gorgias' figures of speech in historical prose. In molinet's chromiques, those figures play an important role in rationalizing dubious ou disastrous events. Finally we deal with the "jugement de paris" in lemaire de belges's illustrations de gaule, which shows the end of a rhetoric which ambition was to be both pleasant and virtuous

Texte intégralLachet, Claude. « "sone de nansay" et le roman d'aventures en vers au xiiie siecle ». Paris 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA030013.
Texte intégralThis thesis identifies the basic structures of the 13th century romance, via one of its least-known examples: sone de nansay, written around 1270 by branque, a clerk from brabant. Despite the diversity of this genre, a comparative approach brings out a number of constant themes: the search for variety and surprise effects without harming the unity and coherence of the narrative, the arousal of pity and fear through pathetic topics and the techniques of dramatic writing, the linking of love and chivalry, particularly through the tournament. Sone has a meaningful structure which shows the upward social mobility of the hero, an orphaned second child who accedes to the imperial throne by his own merit. The mishaps, the journeys, the lyricals interludes and certain characters reveal that the author was influenced by chretien de troyes, grail literature, jean renart and epic poetry. Nevertheless, he rationalizes, humanizes and gives a christian dimension to material taken from legend and folklore. Moreover he prefers local colour from norway, which is more precise and more didactic, to dreamy stereotypes of the east. Denouncing the lures of over-formal courtesy and the defects of chivalry, he comes down moderately in favour of a more humane and natural ethic, conjugal love and a return to the original virtues of the epic heroes.

Texte intégralSultan, Agathe. « "En conjunction de science " : musique et rhétorique à la fin du Moyen Age ». Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA040224.
Texte intégralA common practice and a constant reference for many medieval poets, music was the source of the second rhetoric. However, today music appears to be a true stumbling stone for literary exegesis. In the tradition initiated by Boethius, music is altogether worldly, human and instrumental allowing the union between sense and intellect. As one of the arts of the quadrivium, its implications for the realm of poetics are very complex. Music interests us primarily for the intricacy of the styles. Even as it follows the old structural and rhetorical patterns, the music of the ars nova partakes in an ambivalent esthetics particularly through the innovative conception of the science of Numbers displayed in the multiplication of voices. In the works of Guillaume de Machaut whose lyrics and rhythmical composition equally reveal his utter degree of artistic refinement, the motet becomes the epitome of poetical tension, fracture and alienation. Pluritextuality provides not a catalyst for dialogue but rather operates as a chamber of echoes. Moreover, the proliferation of tropes intensifies and expands the fictional utterance. With the arguable exception of L'Art de dictier, followed by a relative disaffection for song, the writers continue to search for a new art of the counterpoint, between harmony and eloquence, in the shadow of traditional musical forms

Texte intégralThe aim of this study is to work out a synthetical view of 13th century allegorical productions : writing forms, types, devices, topic. Our analysis is mainly rhetorical, and tries to stand far from any system, be it modern or mediaeval. Its basic concept is double meaning, which occurs as proper allegory, parable or allegoresis. The second sense, senefiance, is present either as separated commentary, or in different - integrated, parallel or implicit - shapes. Dream, unexpectedly scarce, is to be considered as a formal mark, defining the situation of the allegorical i, rather than an indication of the truth of fiction. The literal coherence depends on the metonymic connection between metaphors or comparisons. The making of double sense rests on a few patterns, such as enumeration (dividing in parts, series of actions), dramatic process (travel, positive or ne- gative symetry), developped comparison. Personnification only provides double meaning when it is involved in metaphorical determinations : discurse, action, interrelation, semblance. Allegorical writing crea- tes a restricted topic, which is shared into large fields (love, vir- tues and vices, philosophical figurs like fortune, raison, nature, mort) and numerous widespread motives. The corpus of the grundriss has to be completely reorganized, according to mere formal criteriums, into different levels of complexity : simple, including the three kinds of metaphor, and derived by adding independant metaphors, or by lin- king, or by combination. Beast literature draws near to allegory by an inner evolution of the style. Arthurian novel meets allegory by the logical developpment of the senefiance of the grail. Biblical paraphra ses and bestiaries belong to the specialized practice of allegoresis, and are only concerned with the manipulation of the code ; they play a great part in the transmission of exegetical motives

Texte intégralGesta Apolloni is a re-elaborated version of 792 leonine hexameters of the first 8 chapters of Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, and it was published in 1884 by E. Dümmler in Monumenta Germaniae Historica, in the second volume of the section Poetae latini aevi Carolini. Due to its dependence from its hypotext, the first chapter of the thesis is about Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, the issues that the novel raises, and the possible answers that the critics gave to them. A general analysis of the cultural and historical background where Gesta Apollonii was written and also the story of the monastery where it was found, have been discussed in the second chapter; moreover, an important part of this chapter is dedicated to the study of the marginal and interlinear glosses of which the text is full. Part of these glosses was found in a codex of Boece’s De Consolatione Philophiae, written circa 1000 by abbot Froumund De Tegernsee; originally the codex was in the Fürstliche Öttingen-Wallersteinische Bibliothek in Bavaria, today it can be found in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska, in Cracow.In the third chapter more specifically, Gesta Apollonii text is compared to the novel -which it is based on- and to the several quotes from the Latin and Greek classical world. A paragraph is also dedicated to the possible historical accuracy of the characters mentioned in the story. After the thematic analysis of the text, the fourth chapter concerns the examination of the codicological and paleographic features of the manuscript and the presentation of the language, the style, and the metre of the work. In the fifth and last chapter, there is a French translation of Gesta Apollonii

Texte intégralThe nouvelle is a brief narrative form with an indeterminate origin. Literary history has deemed it both an ancestor of a medieval repertory (lai, fabliau, exemplum, etc. ) and a harbinger of the Renaissance (first French, then Italian). After a long association with Boccaccio; the nouvelle today still occupies an ambiguous space. Around 1462, the Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles hailed it as a French literary form, but it was not until the second half of the 16th century, with Marguerite de Navarre, that the nouvelle was recognized as a bona-fide literary genre. Albeit known by many names—arrêt, enseignement, joie, évangile or facétie—the nouvelle develops as a genre in the middle ages. The compilation of nouvelles serves as a vehicle which moves us from a literal meaning, or simply a “flow of information”, to a more complex literary sense. The compilation fosters a kind of polyphony, going beyond the simple classification of texts as either narrative or didactic, thereby acting as a matrix. It engenders the “living letter” through the fiction of orality. It creates itself as flesh in order to rehabilitate the poetic word. It replaces the “passing of time” in lament with the “pastime” of a ludic pact which engages the reader in an aesthetic of participation. A genre all about motion, the nouvelle marks the “transition” between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, which, for literature, has become a foundation

Texte intégralDurand, Isabelle. « Aspects de la représentation du Moyen Age dans la littérature romantique : domaines français, anglais, allemand ». Nantes, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999NANT3010.
Texte intégralThe romantic period is regarded as the moment of renewed interest for the Middle-Ages, a time the Age of Enlightenment had neglected. This revival can be witnessed in such various fields as history, architecture, musci or literature, which convergence leads us to consider the return to the Middle-Ages as a basic element of rmantic thought. As it is, its presence within new genres that regained favour thanks to rmanticism (the tale, the ballad, the romantic drama, the historic novel) induces us to measure the essential role of the return to the Middle-Ages in the coming out of a new conception of lietrature breaking off with classical rules. These various genres enable to emphasize the image of a largely fantasmatic Middle-Ages period reflecting the romantic expectations and dreams. Its high plasticity also enables it to be emodied in major characters the romantic thought tens to build up into myths (Charlemagne, Louis XI th. , Joan of ARc or Faustus). Containing typical medieval perceptions, they gather the main aesthetic and ideological issues associated with the Middle-Ages. It becomes possible then to put forwards a typology of the various romantic Middle-Ages, underlining the perceptions pertaining to the grotesque aspect of the period, those associating it to the fabulous and the terrifying, and those building it up into a golden age. Yet, difficult to reconcile as they are, these perceptions, seemingly ascribable to a common feature, tend to put forwards the original and the primitive. Thus, the Middle-Ages give birth to a myth, a myth of a primitive time hal-way between history and legend. This mythified past in which romanticism looks both foran an utterly remote otherness and its own identify proves to be a way to escape a devalued present. As a source of new inspiration, the return to medieval past is paradoxically one of the best means of expression of the modernity of the romantic movement

Texte intégralThe aim of this study is to give a new meaning to the word "popular" in the French lyric of oc and oil throughout the middle ages. This denomination - as well as the denomination of "popularizing" - is ascribed to genres that overlooked traditions of the great chant courtois. Such are the lyric poems of woman chanson d'ami and chanson de malmariée - as well as lyrics poems for dancing. It is simple poetry that expresses immediate and natural feelings. This situations brought forward are familiar; the characters speak clearly in an easy to understand language. The metrical and musical structures are in harmony with the thematic and the expressive form, and often are even simpler. A chorus, deriving probably from the choregraphic structure characterizes all of these poems: this collective implication in the work gives a character peculiar to these compositions. Thematic, metric and folklore are the actual subject of our research in these poems. They can be found also in foreign literature of that time as well as in the later folkloric aditions. In this respect, a comparative analysis has put in evidence the similarities and differences, chronologically and geographically
McCarthy, Terence. « Sir thomas malory dans la tradition anglaise ». Paris 4, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040085.
Texte intégralSir thomas malory's le morte darthur has too often been studied as merely the english version of the arthurian legends, a faithful translation adaptation of (for the most part) french originals. Closer study reveals that malory is by no means a translator and that his book, although not a work of literary invention, is an independent reworking of the matter of britain with a structure, a conception and an identity of its own. It is essential that malory be accorded the status of an author in his own right and that his work be studied according to literary standards which the book itself imposes rather than in the light of certain french works which malory was not, after all, trying to reproduce

Texte intégralWe have studied, through a deliberately surprising figure, to study the relationships that unite the evolution of representations and the exercice of violence and to follow the genealogy of execution and the macabre. We have studied three great historical moments in the representation of beheadings. The first echoes the economy of power of the "splendour of punishment", from the xvth century and its redefinition of medieval and classical iconography to the "gardens of torture" of the theatre and painture of the baroque age, following the two "cultural dominants" of the time, questioning the sociopolitical objectif of the visual media. The progressive erotisation in the arts of judith, salome, david and other pageant figures, creates a disturbing link between eros and thanatos and sets a landmark in the history of the construction of the western sexuality. We have deconstructed the reenactments of this iconography born from the medieval fear of woman and we have questioned the issues of a generic violence that shows a terrorist misogynie. A new repressive dispositive is created in the court society, that announces the disciplinary dream of the carceral societies: the control of the bodies. In the xviiith century the control over (artistic) representations was an important medium in the strategy of interiorising the social repressive surveillance, and the logic of medieval punishment is transformed by a new economy of death, taken over by the medical discourse. A new disciplinary strategy is marked by the birth of sexuality as discourse and its association with the "theme of blood", that leads to "fin de siecle salomemania" and to freudian mythology. We have studied the transformation of the economy of disciplinary power of the xixth and first xxthe century into the "personnalisation process" of postmodern societies and its inflation of spectacular violence in the media, from the "hot" edge of the fifties to the "cool" one of the eighties, in clear contrast with the "death taboo" of the high culture

Texte intégralAt the time of the urban rebirth of the medieval italy, the florentines had in mind an image of their own town which had been transmitted first by an ancient legend of its origins, but also by the first attemps of the local historiography. This image would theninform both a nascent poetry (dealing with political topics) and the great historical and literary works, and more particularly, villani's, dante's and boccaccio's. The rebirth of florence was based on the ashes of its ancient neighbour: fiesole. This rebirth involved the reinvention of a similar birth: the birth of a town whose future (in everyone's eyes) seemed -in a time of political troubles- to depend on a past that had to resemble what everybody hoped for its future. The roman and the etruscan origins of florence were actualized either in turn, or sometimes simultaneously. The strongest attachment of every citizen to his own town had to face its political fermenting which refused admittance to the opponents at the time. Dante, exile, expressed his helplessness by clashing with the dominant majority of florence, as far as the origins of the town were concerned. Boccaccio, whose biography split between naples and florence, built his most florentine works on the basis of an impossible repudiation

Texte intégralThree Arthurian novels written in the 14th century, Le Petit Artus de Bretagne, Meliador, and Ysaïe le Triste, demonstrate clearly the growing awareness of literary creation and its written, reflective and figurative aspects which occurred at the end of the Middle Ages. The first part examines how written and illustrated works were received in the novels. A re-evaluation of writing, whether sacred or profane, was accompanied by changes in reading practices, which moved gradually from a collective oral tradition to an individual, silent and meditative practice. The second part explores the three Arthurian novels as a receptacle for traditions, and defines the novel as a skilled symphony of contextual and inter-textual references. The third and final part focuses on the layout and illustration of manuscripts and printed works, and shows how the relationship between the reader and writer changes : in the 14th century, the manuscripts reveal a complicity between a skilled writer and his audience, who are very aware of his playful manipulation of traditions ; in the 15th and 16th centuries, the manuscripts and printed works can be seen as a tool for instructive and reflective reading

Texte intégralChinese Philosophy is little known in France and is not officially recognized by twenty-first century French philosophers. They do not consider Chinese philosophy as a philosophy but regard its contributions as wisdoms, thoughts or spiritualities. My study attempts to understand this fact by identifying the emergence of such representation across several centuries and starts with its reception in France through Jesuit missionaries in the sixteenth century. This thesis argues that French philosophers’ representation of Chinese philosophy is an Orientalist legacy that French philosophers and scholars have built from a distorted, biased and reductionist view of China and its philosophy as formulated by the Jesuits. This problem of the existence of Chinese philosophy can only be understood if it is approached in relation to the eurocentric and Orientalist ideology that characterizes philosophy and addressed through the intellectual coloniality that dominates traditional epistemology by deconstructing it

Texte intégralThe study of the myth "tristan and isolde" at the turn of the century in france leads us to define three lines of thought. The first originates in thomas and gottfried of strasbourg and finally rejoins richard wagner. The second links beroul and eilhart d'oberg to j. Bedier. The third consists of the prose. They correspond to three different narrative forms, to three versions of the same family tale and to three different constellations of the myth. In this work, the first two lines are discussed. In fact, the two most recent versions permit us to establish a close relation between the narrative form of the myth and its content. The first, the "tragic" version is plalced under the sign of "renunciation" and the latter, the so-called "epic" version under that of "resignation". The element of tragety favourizes the development of a set of relations, of an antinomical structure and a new conception of the hero. The "eternel return" becomes self-generating in wagner's poetry by means of the art. The study of j. Bediers's "le roman de tristan et yseut" reveals a form of an epic, where repetitions and redundancies induce an interaction between three levels of the story. That of the real, that of the marvellous and that of the legnd. Consequently, the family story of tristan is dissimulated and a restructuration of the myth around the quest for the "maternel imago" is engendered. A study of the implicit and explicit versions underlines the role of wagner's opera "tristan und isolde" for the resurgence of the myth around the period between 1890 and 1914. Among the implicit versions, debussy's and maeterlinck's "pelleas et melisande" emerge as antihero of wagner's tristan

Texte intégralThis study is concerned with the travel fo the soul through the otherworld, taken as a literary genre. It is divided into three parts. The first one is devoted to an analysis of the apocalypse of paul. Written in the ii cent. , revised in the v , it is the only ancient christian text describing the lot of the souls after death. In the second part it is shown how st. Augustine and bede opened the way for the great visions to be written from the vii cent. . Down to the ix cent. The monks compilers mapped out an itinerary and organised the relationships between the living and the dead. All these texts, as read by the venerable bede, are turned into the system of public penance prolonged inthe otherworld; the last stage, purgation, is to take place in the next world. The third part describes the peak and decline of the literary genre. During the x and xi cent. It has a tendency to dissolve itself and become more allusive. In the xii cent. , two orientations becom clear. Some texts show a cosmic and more symbolical trend, while others get back to the older tradition. The former, longer and more famous ones (saint patrick's purgatory, visions of tnugdal or alberic) progressively come up against the scepticism of the theologians. After 1206 (thurkill's vision) the genre passes into the vernacular language and, in a very different appearance, results in the divine comoedia
La, Brasca Frank. « Cristoforo landino et la culture florentine de la renaissance ». Paris 3, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030033.
Texte intégralThe objective of this study is to examine the life, career and main works of the florentine humanist, cristoforo landino (1424-1498), and to bring them into relation with the evolution of culture, civilisation and thought in 15th century florence during the decisive period between the oligarchical government and the death of lorenzo the magnificent and the fall of the medicean regime. Poet, teacher, philosopher, through his position in the circle around lorenzo and as his preceptor, c. Landino is exemplarily representative of the complex history, still to be written, of relations between intellectuals and ruling powers at the time of the italian renaissance. His intellectual itinerary leads him from civic and rhetorical humanism marked by the influence of leon battista alberti to the refined, aesthetic elaborations of ficinian neo-platonism. Having started as a latin poet, he became established after a long career as a university professor and a diversion through philosophical vulgarisation, as a commentator of major poets, and raised this activity to the status of artistic creation in its own right, inaugurating thus the history of criticism of vernacular literature which was to be marked for nearly a century by the enduring influence and the immense editorial success of his commentary on the divine comedy
Scubla, Catherine. « La Queste Del Saint Graal. Édition critique et commentée du manuscrit BNF, français 339 ». Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040242.
Texte intégralThis Ph.D. thesis aims to make available a previously unpublished version of La Queste del saint Graal, as found in the French BnF 339 manuscript in Paris. We will attempt to demonstrate that this manuscript is one of the best examples of the β family, one of the two families of manuscripts in which the well-known story has survived to this day. However, despite its high quality, this manuscript has so far never been seriously studied. In order for our transcript to be as correct and reliable as possible we selected five control manuscripts demonstrating the advantage of belonging to the other three groups forming the β family. The six collated texts therefore allow the production of a version of La Queste that is very representative of this family. We used the work of previous editors and scholars to correct our transcript and to highlight the common points between the manuscript being studied, the control manuscripts, and those of the α family. Our edition intends to be as thorough as possible. A literary and philological introduction analyses the interest of the established text, its manuscript tradition and dialectal features - mainly Anglo-Norman, northern and northeastern, and justifies the choice of the manuscript under study. The transcript is divided into numbered paragraphs corresponding to the divisions made by the copyist and the corrections and their sources are included in footnotes. The other versions of the control manuscripts, notes, a glossary and an index of the elements of the story can be found after the transcript

Texte intégralThe Romuleon is a roman history compilation written in Latin by Benvenuto da Imola between 1361 and 1364. Product of a historiography renewed by humanism, it spread quickly in Italia. Besides Latin manuscripts, four translations (two in Italian and two in French) schow its success. The Italian translations are briefly analyzed and a few chapters are edited. Mamerot's translation (1466) is situated within its socio-cultural context through a presentation of the translator, of Louis de Laval and of its diffusion. The iconographic study about a manuscript of the Romuleon illuminated by Jean Colombe gives a more precise view of antiquity mental representation at the end of the middle ages. The study devoted to the translation focuses on Mamerot's idea of it, on his method and on his attitude toward the original text. The critical edition of book seven to ten (from the second Punic war to Constantin) is followed by notes, a glossary and an index of proper names. Two thematic glossaries concerning the whole compilation analyze the vocabulary of war and the "realia romana"

Texte intégralThe correlation between the motives of feminity and death must be situated, within modernity, between myth and rationality. Our study -which draws its inspiration from the "thanatogenetic" hypothesis of the humanization of man in the encounter and ritualization of death- is an attempt at an archeology of feminity. Our purpose is to show that the feminine dimension (particulary that of motherhood) resides in the culturalization of death which partakes in the genesis of meaning itself. In the second part of the dissertation, we attempt to circumbscribe the poetic renewal and metamorphosis of this "theme", first in the perspective of the medieval origins of western literature, secondly from the point of view of two key myths: hamlet and don giovanni

Texte intégralThe Liber Prefigurationum Christi et Ecclesie is an anonymous poem, written in Latin, which can be dated from the end of the eleventh century. The unabridged version is to be found in only one Parisian manuscript. The verse composition is a bible rewriting containing 2670 hexameters. The author has versified many episodes of the Old Testament and has added exegetical and moral commentaries. The thesis contains, in its first part, an introduction to the Latin text and its translation, which studies the poem structure, the rewriting modes, the exploitation of the exegetical commentaries and of the poets who have written prior to the Liber composition. It also compares the Liber with other biblical rewritings either from late Antiquity or from the Middle Ages. Finally it draws the portrait of the anonymous poet by emphasizing his culture, his versification, his way of thinking and his aims. The second part of the work comprises a new critical edition of the text as well as its first translation. It also includes an apparatus of the glosses and of the biblical references. The third part is a commentary “episode by episode” of the whole poem which mentions the place of each passage in the work (particularly in case of anteposition or postposition), the rewriting of the biblical hypotext, the presence and function of the commentaries, the doctores used by the author, as well as the explanation of our edition choices, when they are different from the text written by G. Dinkova in 2007
Guimbard, Catherine. « Reggimento e costumi di donna de francesco da barberino : recherches ». Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040099.
Texte intégralThis doctorate thesis, entitled "research on reggimento e costumi di donna by francesco da barberino", presents the case for finding consistency, not so much between the written work and the activity of a character (as in the first phase of our research presented as a ph. D. ), as between the work and its period. We have endeavoured to show this consistency in its most obvious form, ie the close parallel between the treatise and the circumstances in which it originated and, further, at the more subjacent level of the similarity between the political, legal and philosophical procedures conveyed by the construction of the work. Our interpretation of the forces behind the treatise, which emerge from the twofold discontinuity of content and form, is one of hesitancy. "reggimento e costumi di donna" sets out to be at one and the same time a reflexion of the awareness which produced thomism, as a revalorisation of the human element, and the degeneracy, in terms of individualism, resulting from the initial triumph of homocentrism. This treatise, intended for women, is in itself - according to our demonstration - the epitome of a pre-humanist mediaeval period during which we find at the same time the substitution of an ascending, secular conception of authority ("particularia regimina") for an descending, divine conception ("monarchia") - these theories being represented respectively by the school of commentators and glossators - and a shift from the reassuring systematisation of thomism to the distrusful atomisation of ockhamism. "reggimento e costumi di donna" reflects the specific change of course at the end of the xiiith century, when mediaeval thought, abandoning universalism, turns to particularism

Texte intégralThis work is a study of the topos of the garden and of the open spaces which are reminiscent of it, in eastern and western countries, in medieval literature and iconography, from the end of the eleventh century to the fifteen century. We are dealing with the formation and evolution of this rhetorical and pictorical form, while focusing above all on the literature and pictorial representations, in medieval france and spain, as seen through relationsphip with the arabislamic forms of the topos. For that purpose we will first be considering the origin of that space. They are religious as well as secular. The topos comes into being by opposing itself to antithetical forms and by gradually refining its denominations. Besides, the topos of the garden is the place where the conflictual relationship between text and pictures are expressed in the course of the middle age. It is a social place where power is strenghened through focalisations. Though, the topos space is structured both within the enclosure of hortus conclusus and without, since the garden marks out the wild universe. Thus, it plays a part in the making of the narration. Lastly, as the poet's favorite place, it is a metaphoricla space, where the complexity of images in the middle age is expressed. It's precisely when a deconstruction of that image comes about in early renaissance, that the medieval form of the garden disappears
