Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this doctoral research is to analyse the 1999 NSW HSC English syllabus through the lens of its reception and implementation, to produce an account of the theoretical changes that are embedded in the syllabus documents and the impact that these changes had on selected stakeholders. The findings made about the 1999 HSC English syllabus are discussed in relation to Hunter’s genealogy of the functions of schooling (1993), to explore the desired purposes of schooling reflected in both the English curriculum, and in stakeholder’s attitudes. Using grounded theory methods in a qualitative approach to exploring the experiences of teachers at two schools through interview and observation data, as well as an analysis of the reactions represented in the public through newspaper publications from 1995-2005, core categories of experience and concern are identified relating to the implementation of the mainstream mandatory courses in English for the HSC. These core categories are used as a basis for a content analysis of key extracts of the English syllabus, with the finding that curriculum changes such as the inclusion of visual texts and language modes constituted an important theoretical shift in the content and objectives of English as a school subject. Also, while some challenges faced by stakeholders are seen to arise from problematic constructions of English in the syllabus itself, other tensions can be seen to be based on the particular demands of the local school contexts, and intensified by pressure from largely negative newspaper portrayals of English teachers and curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação tem como principal objetivo apresentar uma análise da obra Diário da queda, do autor gaúcho Michel Laub, percebendo como a literatura contemporânea une os tempos, representando não apenas o presente, mas, também, ligando-se à realidade histórica, a partir do resgate dos fatos com elementos fragmentários da memória de um passado criado a partir de marcas de identidade que definem o lugar do homem no mundo. Há anos, a literatura apresenta como passado e presente são ligados ao individual, e ao coletivo, através do testemunho de catástrofes como a Shoah. Percebendo a memória traumática – mesmo que não possa ser assimilada em sua totalidade tendo em vista a impossibilidade da compreensão do fato ocorrido – como tema de inúmeras obras literárias. O que é apresentado aqui são aspectos de três representações de memórias traumáticas partindo de três lembranças de personagens distintas que ligam traumas individuais a um trauma coletivo. Para isso, o presente trabalho está dividido em três partes. A primeira contextualiza a literatura brasileira contemporânea para que se perceba de que maneira a obra literária produzida na contemporaneidade está relacionada com seu próprio tempo. A segunda parte discorre sobre o narrador contemporâneo e a forma como esse narrador do pós-guerra reconstrói fatos a partir do distanciamento temporal. A terceira parte busca estabelecer uma ligação entre a literatura e a memória a fim de perceber os reflexos que a recordação tem nas narrativas ficcionais tendo como foco a análise da memória do narrador de Diário da queda, e a forma como esse narrador, descendente de judeus, utiliza-se de outros relatos para construir o seu. A partir das lembranças do pai – que, quando criança, fora traumatizado pelo abandono paterno e pela ausência de identidade nos relatos do avô do narrador, e, quando adulto, é abatido por uma doença que afeta a memória – e do avô – ex-prisioneiro do campo de concentração de Auschwitz que opta por uma visão otimista em seus escritos apesar de ter sido vítima de uma das maiores atrocidades da humanidade. A memória é o que constrói narrativa de Diário da queda representa o individual e o coletivo no contexto da contemporaneidade.This paper aims to present an analysis of the work Diário da queda, written by the author Michel Laub, realizing how contemporary literature unites the times, representing not only the present but also connecting to the historical reality, rescuing facts fragmentary elements of the memory of a past created from identity markers that define man's place in the world. For years, the literature presents how past and present are linked to individual, and collectivity, through the witness of disasters such as the Holocaust. Realizing the traumatic memory - even if it can not be assimilated in its entirety taking into account the impossibility of understanding the fact occurred - as the numerous literary works about the subject. What is presented in this paper are aspects of three representations of traumatic memories starting from three distinct characters of memories that connect individual trauma to a collective trauma. For this, the present work is divided into three parts. The first contextualizes contemporary Brazilian literature in order to realize how the literary work produced in contemporary times is related to its own time. The second part discusses the contemporary narrator and how that postwar narrator reconstructs facts from the temporal distance. The third part seeks to establish a connection between literature and memory in order to realize the consequences that the memory has the fictional narratives focusing on the analysis of Diário da queda memory, and how its narrator, a Jewish descent , makes use of other reports to build his own narrative. From his father's memories - that as a child, had been traumatized by paternal abandonment and lack of identity in the narrator's grandfather's stories, and as an adult, is shot down by a disease that affects memory - and grandfather - former prisoner of the Auschwitz concentration camp that follows an optimistic view in his writings despite having been the victim of one of the greatest atrocities of mankind. Memory is the building fall Diary of narrative is the individual and the collective in the contemporary context.

Full textAbstract:
A leitura inicial de As três Marias (1939), de Rachel de Queiroz, e As meninas (1973), de Lygia Fagundes Telles, evidencia o emprego de um recurso de composição semelhante aos dois romances, que consiste na utilização de tríades de personagens femininas centrais que atuam como as protagonistas dos fatos narrados; sendo, no primeiro caso, o trio de figuras composto por Maria Augusta, Maria José e Maria da Glória, e, no segundo, Lorena, Lia e Ana Clara. Esta dissertação propõe a análise dos aspectos formais, como o estudo das personagens, o foco narrativo e as questões de tempo e de espaço, e de conteúdo relacionados às referidas tríades, argumentando que a utilização desse recurso permite às duas autoras representarem possibilidades diversas da existência feminina em meio à sociedade brasileira das décadas de 1930 e 1970, épocas nas quais ocorre a publicação dos romances. Parte-se do pressuposto de que essa construção triádica das personagens se constitui como um dos aspectos estruturantes centrais às obras, podendo ser considerado como o elemento que permite à Rachel de Queiroz e à Lygia Fagundes Telles trabalharem os conteúdos de caráter feminino e feminista observados nas narrativas. Após os capítulos dedicados à análise e interpretação dos romances sob a perspectiva da teoria literária, como forma de conclusão é apresentada uma leitura comparativa entre as obras, no sentido de demonstrar não somente as semelhanças existentes entre os textos, mas principalmente as suas diferenças fundamentais.A first reading of As três Marias (1939), by Rachel de Queiroz, and As meninas (1973), by Lygia Fagundes Telles, evidences the use of a similar composition resource in both novels. This resource consists in the use of triads of female characters who act as the protagonists of the narratives. In the first case, the group of figures is composed of Maria Augusta, Maria José and Maria da Glória, whereas in the second, of Lorena, Lia and Ana Clara. This dissertation proposes the analysis of the novels\' formal aspects, such as the study of the characters, of the narrative focus and of time and space issues, as well as the analysis of content related to the triads, arguing that the use of such resource allows both authors to represent different possibilities of the feminine existence in Brazilian society in the 1930s and 1970s. It is assumed that the triadic construction of the characters constitutes one of the central structuring aspects of the novels, and it can be considered as the element that allows Rachel de Queiroz and Lygia Fagundes Telles to develop the feminine and the feminist content observed in the narratives. After the chapters dedicated to the novels analysis and interpretation from a literary theorys perspective, a comparative reading between both literary works is presented as a conclusion in order to demonstrate not only the similarities between texts, but mainly their fundamental differences.

Full textAbstract:
Tendo atuado no meio artístico e intelectual brasileiro do segundo pós-guerra até o fim da década seguinte, o veneziano Ruggero Jacobbi (1920-1981) foi um destacado crítico, tradutor e difusor da literatura brasileira, especialmente do drama e da lírica. A pesquisa procura, na perspectiva dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução, recorrer ao instrumental da crítica genética aplicado à grandiosa tradução Invenzione di Orfeo, trabalho que lhe teria tomado décadas de dedicação, a partir da obra maior do poeta nordestino Jorge de Lima. O levantamento de documentos em acervos na Itália permitiu a consolidação de um dossiê genético a partir do qual se discute o processo tradutório no bojo da atuação brasilianista de Jacobbi. Os nomes do poeta Murilo Mendes e da filóloga Luciana Stegagno Picchio surgem no estudo como frequentes coadjuvantes deste que talvez tenha sido o empreendimento mais ambicioso do amigo. Antes da reconstituição crítico-genética, no entanto, apresenta-se a fulgurante presença da obra lírica do poeta alagoano no distante país peninsular, desde a primeira figuração por obra de Giuseppe Ungaretti até as investidas exegéticas fundamentais de Stegagno Picchio. Para tanto, por sua vez, apresenta-se e se discute a trajetória geral, brasileira e, depois, brasilianista de Ruggero Jacobbi, com atenção ao legado relativo à lírica nacional, que culmina no objeto maior desta dissertação. Entre a teatralização engajada da Litania dos Pobres de Cruz e Sousa para uma montagem brechtiana apresentada no Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia (TBC) em 1950 e a publicação póstuma do grande exemplo de transcriação, guia-nos o espírito crítico marxista-gramsciano e impuro de um intelectual marcado pelo ecletismo e pela contundência inconformista, formado em meio aos herméticos florentinos da era fascista e movido a refratar sua expressão insone em poesia, em teatro, no cinema, no diário, no ensaio, na crítica, na historiografia literária, na antologia e na tradução.Since the Venetian Ruggero Jacobbi (1920-1981) acted in the Brazilian artistic and intellectual world from the second postwar until the end of the next decade, he was an important literary critic, translator and diffuser of the Brazilian literature, especially of the drama and lyric poetry. This research aims, in the Descriptive Translation Studies perspective, to use tools from the genetic editing (critique génétique) and apply them to the magnificent translation Invenzione di Orfeo, which work supposedly took some decades of dedication, of the most important work of the Brazilian northeastern poet Jorge de Lima. The process of gathering documents in documentary archives in Italy allowed the make of a genetic dossier, with which it was possible to discuss the translation process, in the Brazilianist works of Jacobbi. The names of the poet Murilo Mendes and of the philologist Luciana Stegagno Picchio appeared in this research because they have shared with Jacobbi the experience of carrying out the most ambitious project of his professional life. Before of the critical-genetic reconstitution, however, there was the brightening glow: the reception of the poetic work of the Alagoan poet in the peninsular country, which includes since the first manifestation made by Giuseppe Ungaretti until the fundamental exegetical attempts of Stegagno Picchio. Before this phase, there was the presentation of the Brazilian and Brazilianist trajectory of Ruggero Jacobbi, and then the discussion on this subject, with special attention to his legacy to the national lyric poetry, which culminated on what, is the main object of this work. In the journey from the political dramatization of Litania dos Pobres (from the poem by Cruz e Sousa) into a Brechtian play presented in the Brazilian Comedy Theater (Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia TBC) in 1950, to the posthumous publication of the great example of transcreation, the guide to us is this impure and marxist-gramscian critic spirit of an intellectual marked by the eclecticism and by the nonconformist force, shaped between the hermetic Florentines of the fascist era, a spirit which was moved to reflect his insomniac expression in the poetry, in the drama, in the filmmaking, in the diaries, in the essays, in the literary criticism, in the literary historiography, in the anthology and in the translation.

Maryan, Rebecca. "Humoral theory circulating in religious literature in England, c.1300-1500." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/32713/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the appearance of humoral discourse in religious literature disseminated in England in the later medieval period. It employs focused case-studies drawn extensively from manuscripts and early printed sources to demonstrate the transmission of humoral theory in religious circles and how this changed over time, especially with the shift from Latin to the vernacular in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. By demonstrating the transmission of humoral ideas outside the medical sphere in England in this period, this provides evidence for a ‘medicalization’ of society at this time. However, this study also demonstrates that there was increasingly a ‘Christianization’ of medicine at the same time, evident in the appropriation of humoral discourse in religious literature including sermons, pastoral guides, Rules for religious, works of religious instruction, and devotional and mystical texts.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail analyse Angústia, de Graciliano Ramos, à partir de la notion de narrateur ressenti, en cherchant une perspective de lecture pour articuler la forme de composition du roman à la subjectivité de son narrateur et aux contradictions d’une societé organisée sur une “démocratie restreinte” (conforme Florestan Fernandes dans l’A revolução burguesa no Brasil). Pour faire cela, le travail recherche la forme de composition d’Angústia, en remarquant “la memoire excessive” de Luís da Silva, protagoniste et narrateur du roman, par rapport à un groupe limité d’événements et de personnages, entre lesquels on souligne les fiançailles frustrées avec Marina et les humiliations face à Julião Tavares, avec qui Luís se compare systématiquement. Se la rememoration constante de ses propes chagrins nous permettre qualifier Luís comme ressenti, l’étude plus détenu sur le ressentiment, à partir de Friedrich Nietzsche e Max Scheler, souligne cette qualification, au même temps qu’il impose une question historique e sociale. Ainsi, comme une disposition reactive, à partir de laquelle un individu se définit par comparaison comme le contraire de un “autre” désirable mais inaccessible, le ressentiment correspondre aux mouvements subjectives de Luís, en ses constantes comparaisons, définitions et tentatives de auto-convaincrement. D’autre part, comme phénomène normal des démocraties modernes, le ressentiment nous conduit a problematizer le narrateur d’Angústia comme ressenti, à cause de sa insertion dans une societé competitive plein de vestiges d’une ordre sociale organizée sur les groupes de statut, oú les présupposés démocratiques se mélangent à logique des privilèges et des distinctions personneles. À partir de cet contradiction apparente on pose la question: comme se forme et se extériorise, en face d’une “démocratie restreinte”, le ressentiment du narrateur d’Angústia? Pour répondre à cette question, le travail a investigué la particularité du ressentiment de Luís en rapport à ses origines sociaux et la forme spécifique de sa manifestation dans le romam. Cet investigation, nous permettre conclure que, formé dans à partir d’une trajectoire sociale d’integration partiale et instable à la societé competitive, le ressentiment du narrateur d’Angústia se manifeste comme subjectivation de la dynamique d’une “démocratie restreinte”, où la possibilité de comparaison entre les individus, droit démocratique, semble dépendre des distinctions que tournent ses individus comparables, ce qui la transforme en privilège.Este trabalho procura interpretar Angústia, de Graciliano Ramos, a partir da noção de narrador ressentido, buscando encontrar aí uma perspectiva de leitura capaz de articular a forma de composição do romance à subjetividade de seu narrador e às contradições de uma ordem social mediada por uma “democracia restrita” (tal como postulado por Florestan Fernandes em A revolução burguesa no Brasil). Para isso, o trabalho parte do mapeamento formal de Angústia, fazendo notar o “excesso de memória” de Luís da Silva, protagonista e narrador do romance, em relação a um conjunto limitado de eventos e personagens, entre os quais se destacam o noivado frustrado com Marina e as humilhações frente a Julião Tavares, com quem se compara sistematicamente. Se a rememoração constante das próprias mágoas parece suficiente para qualificarmos Luís enquanto ressentido, o aprofundamento da noção de ressentimento, a partir de Friedrich Nietzsche e Max Scheler, reforça essa qualificação, ao passo que lhe exige uma mediação de caráter histórico e social. Assim, enquanto disposição reativa, na qual um indivíduo se define comparativamente como oposto de um “outro” desejável mas inalcançável, o ressentimento parece de acordo com os movimentos subjetivos de Luís, em suas constantes comparações, determinações e tentativas de autoconvencimento. Por outro lado, como fenômeno típico das democracias modernas, o ressentimento nos leva a problematizar o narrador de Angústia enquanto ressentido, tendo em vista sua inserção em uma ordem social competitiva atravessada por traços estamentais de sociabilidade, em que os pressupostos democráticos parecem se conjugar à esfera do privilégio e das distinções pessoais. A partir dessa contradição aparente surge a pergunta: como se forma e se expressa, no contexto de uma “democracia restrita”, o ressentimento do narrador de Angústia? Buscando responder a essa questão, o trabalho desenvolveu-se no sentido de investigar a particularidade do ressentimento de Luís, tendo em vista suas origens sociais e a forma específica de sua manifestação. Essa investigação nos levou a concluir que, formando-se no decorrer de uma integração parcial e instável à sociedade competitiva, o ressentimento do narrador de Angústia manifesta-se enquanto subjetivação da dinâmica de uma “democracia restrita”, em que a possibilidade de comparação entre os indivíduos, suposto direito democrático, parece depender de distinções que os tornem comparáveis, convertendo-se assim em privilégio.

Full textAbstract:
After the conquest of 1282, Wales increasingly fell under the dominion of England and in 1535, the first Laws in Wales Act officially annexed the country. During this period of political and legal instability, Welsh men and women fought to regain independence, a struggle that led to the development of a nascent national identity. For many authors, this identity was fundamentally rooted in the topography of Wales and the mythical histories concerning the cultivation of its land. This interest in native mirabilia corresponded with a period of increased availability of English and continental geographical treatises and travelogues that provided Welsh authors with a new vocabulary for discussing wonder. Medieval and early modern Welsh authors incorporated these exotic geographies into their accounts of native landscapes in order to differentiate Wales from England and argue for a sense of Welsh cultural exceptionalism based in its alterity.Celtic Languages and Literatures

Full textAbstract:
The success of the First Crusade by the Christian armies caught the interest and arrested the imagination of contemporaries, stimulating the production of a large number of historical narratives. Four eyewitness accounts, as well as letters written by the crusaders to the West, were taken up by later authors, re-worked and re-fashioned into new narratives; a process which continued throughout the twelfth century and beyond. This thesis sets out to explore why contemporaries continued to write about the First Crusade in light of medieval attitudes towards the past, how authors constructed their narratives and how the crusade and the crusaders were remembered throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It will analyse the development in the way the First Crusade was recorded and investigate the social, religious, intellectual and political influences dictating change: How, why and under what circumstances was the story re- told? What changed in the re-telling? What ideas and concepts were the authors trying to communicate and what was their meaning for contemporaries? The thesis will also aim to place these texts not only in their historical but also in their literary contexts, analyse the literary traditions from which authors were writing, and consider the impact the crusade had on medieval literature. The focus will be on Latin histories of the First Crusade, especially those written in England and France, which produced the greatest number of narratives. Those written in the Levant, the subject of these histories, will also be discussed, as well as texts written in the Empire and in Italy.

Full textAbstract:
Book Summary: The essays in this collection explore the languages - artistic, symbolic, and ritual, as well as written and spoken - in which power was articulated, challenged, contested, and defended in Italian cities and courts, villages, and countryside, between 1300 and 1600. Topics addressed include court ceremonial, gossip and insult, the performance of sanctity and public devotions, the appropriation and reuse of imagery, and the calculated invocation (and sometimes undermining) of authoritative models and figures. The collection balances a broad geographic and chronological range with a tight thematic focus, allowing the individual contributions to engage in vigorous and fruitful debate with one another even as they speak to some of the central issues in current scholarship. The authors recognize that every institutional action is, in its context, a political act, and that no institution operates disinterestedly. At the same time, they insist on the inadequacy of traditional models, whether Marxian or Weberian, as the complex realities of the early modern state pose tough problems for any narrative of modernization, rationalization, and centralization. The contributors to this volume trained and teach in various countries - Italy, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia - but share a common interest in cultural expressions of power.https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1186/thumbnail.jpg

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines references to priests and temples of the Japanese Pure Land Buddhist school claiming Ippen (1239-1289) as founder; the most important of the lineages was the Yugyō-ha, or 'itinerancy school'. Scattered in Noh plays, epics, documents, histories, diaries, et cetera over a four-hundred-year period, these references are the residue of a long-term and successful propaganda campaign advertising doctrines, miracles, and services to the military class. The thesis focuses especially on the themes and formulaic diction borrowed from existing texts and developed by the school as it distinguished itself from other Pure Land schools. The rôle of what became the Jishū (usually translated 'Time Sect') in the guardianship of the identity of the founder of the Tokugawa family is of special interest.

Cette thèse de doctorat a pour principal objet l'édition critique complète du dernier texte inédit de Christine de Pizan, son Livre des fais d'armes et de chevalerie, écrit en 1410 lors des prémices de la guerre civile entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons, trois ans après l'assassinat de Louis d'Orléans par Jean sans Peur et cinq ans avant la bataille d'Azincourt.Chef-d’œuvre oublié de Pizan, ce texte fut destiné à l'éducation des hommes d'armes en général et du dauphin Louis de Guyenne en particulier. Réécriture autant que compilation, les Fais d'armes ont été dès leur publication une référence sur « la chose de chevalerie », sollicitant Végèce, Valère Maxime, Frontin, L'Arbre des batailles d'Honorat Bovet ainsi que des sources orales demeurées anonymes. Leur édition permet de combler une lacune importante dans notre connaissance de la production christinienne de miroirs aux princes, et devrait être utile aux médiévistes comme aux juristes et polémologues.Cette édition, qui se veut génétique, s'appuie sur la première étude exhaustive de la tradition textuelle entière (25 témoins, manuscrits et imprimés) qui a mis au jour plusieurs versions d'auteure, découverte qui vient s'ajouter à l'exploration des versions remaniées d'un point de vue politique, ce qui avait déjà été remarqué par la critique. En outre, l'établissement d'un stemma codicum permet de préciser les liens entre deux familles de manuscrits, ceux qui respectent l'auctorialité de Christine de Pizan (famille A) et ceux qui oblitèrent son nom et sa féminité (famille B).En plus de donner à lire le texte en moyen français, assorti d'un appareil de notesphilologiques, linguistiques et historiques, l'édition permet, grâce à un apparat critique génétique, d'ouvrir la voie à des études stylistiques et linguistiques sur l'auteure à sa table de travail, modifiant son texte à deux reprises. La recherche des sources du traité permettra également de mieux connaître les techniques de Christine de Pizan en compilatrice. Nous proposons une édition des extraits de Valère Maxime et Frontin traduits par Simon de Hesdin pour y inciter nos lecteur·rice·s.Le texte s'accompagne d'une description codicologique des 25 témoins, d'unglossaire, d'éléments de contexte historique et littéraire, et enfin d'une étude linguistique qui verse une nouvelle pièce au dossier débattu de la possible autographie d'un manuscrit des Fais d'armesThe principle study of this doctoral thesis is the critical edition of the last unedited text of Christine de Pizan, the Livre des fais d’armes et de chevalerie. It was composed in 1410, at the outbreak of the first civil war posing Bourguignons against Armagnacs, three years after the assassination of Louis d’Orléans on the orders of Jean the Fearless and five years preceding the Battle of Azincourt. This forgotten masterpiece of Pizan was destined generally to educate young men of arms, and particularly for the instruction of the Dauphin, Louis de Guyenne. The Fais d’armes, a re-writing as much as it is a compilation, was upon its publication a reference work on chivalry, soliciting the authority of Vegetius, Valerius Maximus, Frontinus, L’Arbre des batailles by Honorat Bovet, as well as other oral sources that remain anonymous. This critical edition will allow us to fill significant gaps in the christinienne production of the specula principum and will be equally useful to medievalists as much to jurists and to specialists of military history.This edition, which goes back to the origins of the text, leans on the first exhaustive study of the entire textual tradition (25 text sources, in printed and manuscript forms) that identifies several different versions by the author. This discovery adds a new dimension to the study of this text when considered alongside versions that were re-worked for political purposes. What’s more, the establishment of a stemma codicum allows us to define the relationship between two manuscript families : Family A, which respects Christine de Pizan’s auctorialité ; and Family B, which obliterates her name and femininity.Furthermore, the edition of the text in Middle French, accompanied by philological,linguistic and historical notes and commentaries, allows for future stylistique andlinguistic studies on the author-at-work, changing her text on two occasions. Research on her sources also reveal Christine de Pizan’s techniques as “compilator”. This study also proposes an edition of quotes from Valerius Maximus and Frontinus as translated by Simon de Hesdin to inspire further reading.The edition includes a codicological description of the 25 manuscripts and printed copies, elements describing historical and literary context, and, finally, a linguistic study that adds another voice to the debate surrounding a manuscript containing the Fais d'armes and the question of its potentially “autographic” nature

Full textAbstract:
Gilles Le Muisit, abbé au milieu du XIVème siècle du couvent de Saint-Martin de Tournai, a rassemblé entre 1349 et 1352, alors qu'il était aveugle, l'ensemble de son oeuvre en français dans un énorme volume réunissant des pièces en octosyllabes, quatrains d'alexandrins et prose. Le tout forme une oeuvre littéraire inclassable, mélange de chronique, d'entreprise didactique et de poésie, posant beaucoup de problèmes de compréhension littérale. Il existe une édition ancienne de ce texte (Joseph Kervyn de Lettenhove, Louvain, 1882) qui souffre de nombreuses erreurs de transcription et propose un texte brut, sans balisage interne ni structure, accompagné d'un glossaire lacunaire et fautif. Notre travail tente d'établir une seconde édition répondant aux exigences scientifiques actuelles et permettant l'accès à cette oeuvre d'un intérêt certain autant sur le plan littéraire que linguistique, en particulier lexicographique ; la langue de Gilles Le Muisit se signale par sa forte couleur régionale (picard, wallon) et une richesse de vocabulaire remarquable, le texte de son "Registre" présentant beaucoup de mots peu ou pas attestés avant 1350. L'édition se limite pour l'instant aux neuf premiers chapitres du texte ; la transcription s'accompagne d'une introduction (présentation de l'auteur et du manuscrit, étude linguistique, commentaire littéraire), d'un ensemble de notes critiques (tentatives d'élucidation des sources et références, remarques linguistiques et littéraires ponctuelles, leçons rejetées du manuscrit ou de l'édition ancienne), d'un important glossaire et d'un index des noms propres. Nous publions pour la première fois en annexes les pièces finales du "Registre"

Full textAbstract:
Vénéré depuis le haut Moyen Âge, saint Fiacre fut l’un des saints les mieux connus en France durant la période médiévale et même au-delà. De multiples textes médiévaux sur sa vie nous sont parvenus, du IXe siècle jusqu’à la fin du Moyen Âge, en latin comme en français. De nombreux manuscrits et imprimés des XIVe, XVe et XVIe siècles témoignent de la circulation considérable des Vies du saint à cette époque. Ces Vies prennent des formes littéraires variées : la légende romanesque en vers et en prose et le drame. La plupart des Vies françaises et certains récits en latin sont inédits. Notre thèse a pour but principal de contribuer à l’avancement des travaux éditoriaux sur ces œuvres en proposant six éditions des Vies du saint de différentes longueurs composées principalement en moyen français et une édition de la Vita rhythmica de 118 vers. Cet ensemble de textes homogène permettra à la critique littéraire et historique de réexaminer la réception et la transformation des actes d’un saint du VIIe siècle dans la littérature française du Moyen Âge tardif. Notre introduction générale porte sur cette question mais s’inscrit dans une histoire plus large du culte du saint tout au long des siècles pour tracer la continuation et les bifurcations possibles d’une tradition hagiographique. Dans les études linguistico-littéraires qui accompagnent la Vita rhythmica et la pièce de théâtre La Vie de monsieur sainct Fiacre filz du roy d’Escosse par personnaiges, nous nous sommes proposé d’observer respectivement les modalités de la versification rythmique du latin médiéval — domaine moins exploré par la recherche — et la relation entre complexité syntaxique, contrainte formelle et simplicité discursive d’un langage artistique sur la scène du théâtre médiéval. La diversité générique, formelle et généalogique des textes que nous avons choisis d’éditer garantit un riche exercice de philologieVenerated since the Early Middle Ages, Saint Fiacre was one of the most well-known saints in France during the Middle Ages and even afterwards. Many medieval texts about his life, from the 9th century to the end of Middle Ages, in Latin as well as in French, have survived to this day. The numerous manuscripts and printed works prove the widespread circulation of this saint’s Lives during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, in such different forms as narrative prose, poem and drama. Most of the Lives in French and some texts in Latin are still unedited. This dissertation aims to participate in the editing work of these texts. It offers six editions of French Lives which have different lengths and one edition of the Vita rhythmica (188 verses). This homogenous set of texts could make it possible for literature scholars and historians to reconsider the reception and the transformation of a sacred figure of the 7th century in the late medieval French literature. The general introduction of this thesis deals with this concrete question but is also put in a much larger history of the Saint Fiacre cult throughout the centuries, in order to describe the possible continuity and bifurcations of a hagiographic tradition. In the linguistic and literary studies of the Vita rhythmica and of the theatre play La Vie de monsieur sainct Fiacre filz du roy d’Escosse par personnaiges, this work focuses on the medieval Latin rhythmic versification — a less-explored area — and the relationship between the complicated syntax, the formal restriction and the discursive simplicity of a medieval theatre language. The different texts with various generic, formal and genealogical characteristics edited in this dissertation present a plurality of different philological exercises

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail se propose d’étudier la représentation de l’oralité dans les textes médiévaux. Il s’agit de remettre en question le terme même de « représentation » en contestant le présupposé implicite d’une équivalence entre systèmes (oral/écrit). La problématique des rapports entre écriture et oralité (I) est introduite par l’examen rapide du phonocentrisme (I, 1). On tentera alors de construire une catégorie des marqueurs d’oralité, fonctionnant en tant que représentations non ressemblantes, afin d’envisager la question sur un plan non pas grammatical mais représentationnel (I, 2). On s’interrogera ensuite sur les particularités médiévales (variation, imprécision, improvisation) ressortissant à l’interaction entre écrit et oral dans notre corpus composite (I, 3). Enfin, on sollicitera nos sources afin d’envisager leurs propres représentations de la parole et de l’écriture, telles que les modalités de la voix et les inscriptions de l’écrit (I, 4). La construction d’une classe linguistique ad hoc nous permettra de prendre en compte les marqueurs d’oralité non pas comme des représentants de l’oralité per se mais comme des occasions d’analyse (II). On utilisera tout d’abord la variance médiévale dans une perspective pragmatique afin de développer un modèle d’analyse permettant la construction d’une pragmaphilologie, i.e. d’un discours sur les fonctions des marqueurs imprégné par leurs possibilités combinatoires (II, 5). À l’aide des apports de l’analyse de conversation, on cherchera ensuite à mesurer leur importance dans l’organisation des tours de parole en les traitant comme des outils graphiques destinés, entre autres, à indiquer le passage ou bien l’interruption d’un tour (II, 6). En se focalisant sur quatre cas particuliers (Oh, Et, Et bien, Hen), nous avons cherché à reprendre à nouveaux frais certaines hypothèses sous-jacentes à la catégorie des marqueurs d’oralité (II, 7). Enfin, à rebours du postulat de délabrement et de la vacuité du jurement apparemment implicités par sa présence massive, on cherchera à montrer que cet acte doit encore être considéré comme efficace (II, 8)This dissertation focuses on medieval orality’s representation. It questions the very notion of « representation » by challenging the fundamental assumption of the equivalency between the oral and written communication systems .The issue of the relationship between writing and orality (I) is introduced through a brief examination of the notion of phonocentrism (I, 1). A category of orality markers involving non-resemblance representational models has been created to address this as a representational rather than a grammatical issue (I, 2). Then we analyze both medieval and oral salient characteristics (variation, imprecision, and improvisation) illustrated by our literary and inquisitorial corpus (I, 3). Finally, we will examine the way our texts depict their own representation of writing and orality (I, 4) The ad hoc development of a new linguistic category allows us to consider the markers of orality as new areas of analysis rather than mere representations of orality (II). The notion of medieval variance will be used to develop an analytical model as the basis for a « pragmaphilology », i.e. a discourse involving the combinatory possibilities of the orality markers (II, 5). Based on concepts of conversation analysis, we will focus on the role of markers as turn-taking organizing devices, including their function as transition or interruption graphic indicators (II, 6). We have considered four specific case studies (Oh, Et, Et bien, Hen) aiming at re-evaluating existing hypotheses about the function of orality markers (II, 7). Finally, our goal is to demonstrate that contrary to the presupposition of the vacuity implicit to their massive presence in medieval texts, swear words should be considered effective means of truth-telling (II, 8)

Nous avons essayé d'offrir un grand nombre de variantes détaillées, fournies par les autres témoins de l’œuvre, en limitant nos interventions à des corrections qui s'imposent. Le texte de l'édition est suivi par des notes explicatives, un glossaire et un index des noms propres. Sur le plan linguistique, nous avons relevé des traits qui rattachent notre ms. au domaine du Nord (conseilh ; karoloient, etc.), des tournures modernes par rapport aux autres témoins de l’œuvre et un certain nombre de termes (baudel ; pourvillier) qui peuvent enrichir la base du Dictionnaire du Moyen FrançaisThe fragment of the Suite du Roman de Merlin that we edited is preserved in four manuscripts (London manuscript, British Library, Additional 38117, the Cambridge University Library manuscript, Additional 7071, the BNF 112 manuscript, which is the main manuscript of our edition, and the Imola manuscript, Biblioteca Comunale, ms. 135 AA25 n° 9 (7)).

We offered a great number of variants given by the other manuscritpts of the Suite and limited our interference with the text only for corrections which we considered strictly necessary. The text of our edition is followed by notes, a glossary and an index of names. On the linguistic level, we noted regional caracteristics that lead us to consider that our manuscript belongs to the North domain (conseilh ; karoloient, etc.), modern structures comparing to the other manuscripts of the Suite and a certain number of termes (baudel ; pourvillier) which can improve the DMF (Dictionnaire du Moyen Français) basis

Full textAbstract:
La tradition textuelle pluriséculaire de Jourdain de Blaye/Blaves est assez dense. À partir d’une étude de cette tradition, notre thèse présente une édition de la première partie de Jourdain de Blaves, l’une des mises en prose anonymes de la chanson de geste en alexandrins Jourdain de Blaye. L’édition s’accompagne d’un apparat critique de notes et de variantes ainsi que d’un glossaire. Ainsi, ce travail explore la tradition de Jourdain de Blaye/Blaves, qui s’inaugure avec une chanson de geste en décasyllabes composée au début du XIIIe siècle. La chanson a d’abord été remaniée et augmentée une première fois au début du XVe siècle dans une version en alexandrins. Elle a ensuite été mise en prose à deux reprises au même siècle. L’une des versions en prose est contenue dans un manuscrit unique (le ms. Aberyswyth, NLW, 5022D) et l’autre nous est parvenue à travers cinq éditions parisiennes du XVIe siècle. Au vu de l’examen préalable de cette tradition textuelle, le choix de l’editio princeps de Michel Le Noir (1520) est apparu le plus fécond pour l’établissement d’une édition critique. L’imprimé se situe en effet à l’interface entre la chanson en alexandrins, dont il est le plus proche d’un point de vue textuel, et les autres éditions du XVIe siècle qui ont toutes été réalisées à partir de l’imprimé de Michel Le Noir. Notre travail offre une première comparaison de la chanson en alexandrins et du texte de l’édition de Michel Le Noir qui donne lieu à une réflexion sur le rapport entre vers et prose. Un second corpus constitué des cinq éditions du XVIe siècle constitue non seulement un accès privilégié aux stratégies éditoriales des imprimeurs de l’époque mais aussi un observatoire idéal des changements linguistiques. Outre ces deux analyses contrastives, nous cherchons à révéler l’intérêt linguistique du texte de l’édition Le Noir. L’étude de la langue met notamment en lumière une syntaxe étonnante et une représentation complexe de l’oral. Ce travail d’analyse et de comparaison du texte de l’editio princeps permet d’enrichir les réflexions philologiques, linguistiques et littéraires développées tout au long de la thèseThe tradition of Jourdain de Blaye/Blaves is quite dense. After a study of this tradition, this thesis presents a critical edition of the first part of Jourdain de Blaves, one of the anonymous prose texts derhymed from the chanson de geste written in alexandrines, Jourdain de Blaye. This thesis also provides notes, variants and a glossary with the edited text. This study explores the textual tradition of Jourdain de Blaye/Blaves. The tradition starts with a chanson de geste written in decasyllables in the early thirteenth century. This text has been rewritten and amplified in alexandrines at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Then, in the same century, it was translated into two unrhymed texts. The first one is contained in the unique manuscript from the National Library of Wales (ms. Aberyswyth, NLW, 5022D). The second one was transmitted in five printed editions published in Paris in the sixteenth century. The study of the tradition led us to choose the editio princeps of Michel Le Noir (1520). This imprint has a strategic place in the textual tradition; it is very close to the version written in alexandrines and all the sixteenth century editions were made from the one of Michel Le Noir. Through an initial contrastive analysis, this thesis compares the mise en prose to the clearly identifiable versified source and offers considerations on the interplay between verse and prose. Then, a second comparison between the five printed editions originating from the sixteenth century allows this thesis to give an insight into the work of printer-editors and their editorial strategies. Moreover, the study serves to demonstrate that micro-corpora of re-editions are notably useful in the study of language change.Complementing the aforementioned studies, this work emphasizes the linguistic richness of the edited text of Michel Le Noir’s imprint. The most noteworthy features are to be found in the study of syntax as well as in the one of represented oral speech. The accumulated analyses aim to enrich the philological, linguistic and literary reflections developed in this thesis

La Prise d'Alexandrie est une chronique rimée retraçant les exploits de Pierre Ier de Lusignan (1328-1369), roi de Chypre et de Jérusalem, nouveau Godefroy de Bouillon ; elle a été composée par Guillaume deMachaut vers 1370, peu après le meurtre de Pierre Ier ; ce régicide avait soulevé une très vive émotion enOccident, en particulier en France, qui connaissait par ailleurs une grave crise. Cette chronique, à la fois récithistorique, épopée, éloge posthume, hagiographie, poème lyrique, est la dernière oeuvre d'un auteur connu etreconnu ; on peut considérer cette biographie royale comme le testament de Guillaume de Machaut, lecouronnement de son oeuvre.

Full textAbstract:
Despite its importance, up to this day there are not many books or articles fully dedicated to the evolution of translation in the United States or the work of American translators: A gap remains to be filled in regard to what we know about these agents and the context in which they worked. In this way, the goal of this thesis is twofold: On the one hand and more broadly, it attempts to contribute to the study of the history of translation in the United States by looking at the late 19th century; on the other hand, and this being the main focus of the thesis, it provides an illustrative example through the analysis of the works of Edgar Saltus. When combining the two perspectives, a common trait arises: the study of the (in)visibility of the translator. As will be analysed, throughout the 19th century a domesticating approach to translation was exercised in the United States, which would lead translators to follow ongoing norms, either consciously or as a result of certain rules set by another agent: publishers. As a consequence, this culminated in the former’s invisibility, much like what happened to Edgar Saltus, whose translations on the whole follow the zeitgeist of the times when it comes, for instance, to the American admiration for everything French, the desire to keep a certain distance from England, and the application of the plain style and exact term. This thesis therefore poses the following question: To what extent is Edgar Saltus invisible in his translations and how does the analysis of his work help contribute to the study of the (in)visibility of the translator in late 19th-century United States? The attempt to answer this question will hopefully provide new information on a subject that has not received the attention it deserves.Apesar da sua importância, até aos dias de hoje não existem muitos livros ou artigos científicos que se dediquem completamente à evolução da tradução nos Estados Unidos ou ao trabalho dos tradutores norte-americanos: Há, portanto, lacunas a preencher no que diz respeito ao que sabemos sobre estes agentes e o contexto no qual trabalhavam. Neste sentido, a presente dissertação tem dois objetivos: Por um lado e de forma mais ampla, pretende contribuir para o estudo da história da tradução nos Estados Unidos ao observar o final do século XIX; por outro, e sendo este o enfoque da dissertação, é providenciado um exemplo ilustrativo através da análise dos trabalhos de Edgar Saltus. Ao combinar as duas vertentes, um aspeto em comum surge: o estudo da (in)visibilidade do tradutor. Como irá ser analisado, ao longo do século XIX uma abordagem domesticadora na prática da tradução era exercida nos Estados Unidos, o que levava os tradutores a seguir normas em vigor, quer de forma consciente ou como resultado de certas regras impostas por outro agente: as editoras. Consequentemente, tal levava à invisibilidade do tradutor, o que foi o que aconteceu com Edgar Saltus, cujas traduções de modo geral seguiam o zeitgeist dos tempos no que toca, por exemplo, à admiração norte-americana por tudo o que era Francês, ao desejo de manter uma certa distância de Inglaterra, e à aplicação do plain style e termo exato. Esta dissertação coloca então a seguinte questão: Até que ponto é Edgar Saltus invisível nas suas traduções e como é que a análise do seu trabalho ajuda a contribuir para o estudo da (in)visibilidade do tradutor no final do século XIX nos Estados Unidos? A tentativa de dar resposta a esta questão irá, espero, dar a conhecer nova informação sobre uma temática que não tem recebido a merecida atenção.

Full textAbstract:
In my dissertation, I argue that the medical milieu of the 13th century contributed to shape vernacular secular culture. I demonstrate how the historical and scientific contexts of the Italian peninsula, from the Sicilian school of Frederick II and Manfred to the communal realities of Bologna and Florence, testify to the active reception of the works of Aristotle, Galen, and their Arabic and Western commentators in poetic circles. I show how the Italian 13th century was informed by a high degree of intellectual and scientific knowledge, and how the far-reaching penetration of medical sources connects an emerging vernacular culture to the intricacy of urban networks.
"Of Poets and Physicians" addresses the following questions: what is the contribution of medical literature to Italian poetry of the 13th century? How can the reception of Aristotelian and Galenic physiological theories help us illuminate the way Medieval literature produced its tropes? Why should we consider these cultural and intellectual environments as productive frames of thought for poetical writings? My dissertation addresses these questions in three macro-chapters.
In the first chapter (On Fluid Memory), I argue that under the patronage and influence of Frederick II and Manfred, the reception of Aristotle’s physiology of the soul informed the tropes of the memory image of the lady engraved into the heart, used by Giacomo da Lentini and the other vernacular poets at court.
In the second chapter (Minding the Brain), I study the influence of Galen and Arabic Galenism on the intellectual circles of the second half of the 13th century. I argue that the influence of the Bolognese Galenism of Taddeo Alderotti informed a great part of Guinizzelli’s poetry, not only with respect to the phenomenology of love, but also in his views on nobility and natural determinism.
In the third chapter (All Things Natural), I combine the Aristotelian discourse on ethics and the Galenic question of temperamental determinism. I analyze how the scientific background on the relationship between bodily balance and the functions of the soul is discussed in Taddeo Alderotti’s translation of an epitome of Aristotelian ethics, and how these debates are reframed in the poetry of Guido Cavalcanti, Dante Alighieri, and Cino da Pistoia, by virtue of the relationship between love and reason.
While contextualizing the uses of medical thought in the poetical production of philosophical and poetic authors, I demonstrate how the active reception of scientific theories testifies to the high degree and pervasiveness of medical education in the intellectual circles of the 13th century.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: This dissertation focuses on the connections between childbirth and spirituality in fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century England. It argues that scholastic interest in conception and procreation led to a proliferation of texts mentioning obstetrics and gynecology, and that this attention to women's medicine and birth spread from the universities to the laity. This dissertation contends that there is interdependence between spiritual and physical health in late medieval English religious culture, correlated with and perhaps caused by an increasing fascination with materialism and women's bodies in religious practices and rhetoric. The first chapter provides an analysis of birth in medical and pastoral texts. Pastoral works were heavily influenced by the ecclesiastical emphasis on baptism, as well as by scholastic medicine's simultaneous disdain for and reluctant integration of folk medicine. The second chapter examines birth descriptions in narratives of saints' miracles and collections of exempla; these representations of childbirth were used in religious rhetoric to teach, motivate, and dissuade audiences. The third chapter turns to the cycle play representations of the nativity as depicting the mysteries of human generation and divine incarnation for public consumption. The fourth chapter analyzes the abstract uses of childbirth in visionary and other religious texts, especially in descriptions of spiritual rebirth and the development of vice and virtue in individuals or institutions. By identifying their roles as analogous with the roles of midwives, visionaries authorized themselves as spiritual caretakers, vital for communal health and necessary for collective spiritual growth. These chapters outline a trajectory of increasing male access to the birthing chamber through textual descriptions and prescriptions about birth and midwifery. At the same time, religious texts acknowledged, sought to regulate, and sometimes even utilized the potential authority of mothers and midwives as physical and spiritual caretakers.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates how individual policy actors can influence policy making and become catalysis of change. Its main proposition is that actors who heavily influence policy making and become agents for change are necessarily involved in specific activities and demonstrate particular characteristics. The study employs the concept of 'policy entrepreneurship' to analyse an episode of policy making which occurred in Australia between 1992 and 1994. The study concludes that in performing certain functions policy entrepreneurs help to affect change, but in doing so are at once constrained and enabled by contextual forces. Based on the findings of the analysis a theoretical frameword of policy entrepreneurship is developed which augments existing conceptions of policy entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
Text in AfrikaansDuring the past decade various studies have been conducted on the medieval bestiary and simultaneously much has been written on the life and work of the medieval scholar and writer, Jacob van Maerlant. Van Maerlant's famous encyclopaedic work, Der Naturen B/oeme (Book of Nature) has been thoroughly investigated in recent literary studies, though little has been done to identify this work as encyclopaedic narrative. The term, encyclopaedic narrative, is relatively unknown in Western literature and therefore demands the research which is conducted in this thesis. In the course of this study, the genre of encyclopedic narrative is investigated and the Naturen 8/oeme is identified as a member of this exclusive genre. Edward Mendelson's article "From Dante to Pynchon" (1976) serves as the starting point for this study, from where it continues its investigation into the works of Jacob Van Maerlant. Van Maerlant's Der Naturen 8/oeme is compared to a unique set of qualities for the encyclopaedic narrative in which corresponding points are identified. From this investigation it is shown that Der Naturen B/oeme qualifies as a member of the genre, encyclopaedic narrative.
Baie navorsing oor die Middeleeuse Bestiarium is reeds gedurende die afgelope dekade gedoen en baie is geskryf oor die lewe en werk van Jacob van Maerlant. Alhoewel sy natuurboek, Der Naturen Bloeme, baie belangstelling in die liter~re w6r~ld ontlok, is daar nog weinig gedoen om Der Naturen Bloeme as ensiklopediese narratief te identifiseer. Die relatiewe onbekendheid van die begrip ensiklopediese narratief in die Westerse literatuur dien as aansporing tot die ondersoeke wat in hierdie skripsie vervat word. In hierdie studie sal die genre van die ensiklopediese narratlef bespreek word. Der Naturen Bloeme word as voorbeeld gebruik. Die ensiklopediese narratief word bespreek na aanleiding van die artikel "From Dante to Pynchon" (1976) waarin Mendelson die term omskryf en riglyne daarstel vir die tipering daarvan as genre. Uit die ondersoek blyk dit dat die ensiklopediese narratief 'n genre is wat erkenning behoort te kry in die literêre wêreld. Die studie ondersoek ook die lewe en werk van Jacob van Maerlant wat as lnformatikus gedurende die MiddeJeeue groot bekendheid verwerf het. Sy omvangryke ensiklopediese werk, Der Naturen Bloeme, word telkens getoets aan die hand van kenmerke vir die ensiklopediese narratief en die raakpunte word uitgewys. Uit die ondersoek word aangetoon dat Der Naturen Bloeme as ensiklopediese narratief erken kan word.
