Norman, William Hereward. "The classical Barbarian in the Íslendingasögur." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/277652.
Full textAbstract:
The Íslendingasögur, written in Iceland in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, primarily describe the lives of Icelanders during the tenth and eleventh centuries. Many of these lives involve encounters with foreign peoples, both abroad and in Iceland, who are portrayed according to stereotypes which vary depending on the origins of those people. Notably, inhabitants of the places identified in the sagas as Írland, Skotland and Vínland are portrayed as being less civilized than the Icelanders themselves. This thesis explores the ways in which the Íslendingasögur emphasize this relative barbarity through descriptions of diet, material culture, style of warfare, and character. These characteristics are discussed in relation to parallel descriptions of Icelandic characters and lifestyle within the Íslendingasögur, and also in the context of a tradition in contemporary European literature which portrayed the Icelanders themselves as barbaric. Innovatively, comparisons are made with descriptions of barbarians in classical Roman texts, primarily Sallust, but also Caesar and Tacitus. Taking into account the availability and significance of classical learning in medieval Iceland, the comparison with Roman texts yields striking similarities between Roman and Icelandic ideas about barbarians. It is argued that the depiction of foreigners in the Íslendingasögur is almost identical to that of ancient Roman authors, and that the medieval Icelanders had both means and motive to use Roman ideas for inspiration in their own portrayal of the world. Ultimately it is argued that when the medieval Icelanders contemplated the peoples their Viking Age ancestors encountered around the world, they drew on classical ideas of the barbarian to complement the mix of oral tradition, literary inspiration and contemporary circumstance that otherwise form the Íslendingasögur.

Bravo, Christopher Delante. "Chirping Like the Swallows: Aristophanes' Portrayals of the Barbarian "Other"." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/193343.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I examine three specific characters from the extant plays of Aristophanes: the Scythian archer from Thesmophoriazusae, the Thracian god from Birds, and the Persian King's Eye from Acharnians. Through a close analysis of these three characters, I show that Aristophanes portrayed each one in a different manner and with varying degrees of hostility. Aristophanes' portrayals of these foreigners were likely informed by his fellow Athenians' attitudes toward non-Athenians. As I demonstrate, the interactions of foreigners with Greek characters in Aristophanes' plays reveal subtle gradations of Greek xenophobia. The playwright composed his comedies in a period of great cultural change and increasingly diverse perceptions of non-Greeks, and as a result, these xenophobic nuances emerged. Views of barbarians were evolving in the last quarter of the fifth century BCE, and Greek xenophobia was not a monolithic social phenomenon.

Vesisenaho, L. (Lasse). "Humour and familiarisation in Terry Pratchett’s Cohen the Barbarian -sequence." Master's thesis, University of Oulu, 2013. http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:oulu-201308151617.
Full textAbstract:
The aims of this thesis were to look at and analyse three of Terry Pratchett’s novels — The Light Fantastic, Interesting Times, and The Last Hero — from the point of view of established literary theories, specifically those pertaining to humour and parody, and see how well the texts in question can be said to follow those theories. The three works were chosen because they comprise the story-arc of a particular set of characters. Of primary importance in this thesis are the concepts of incongruity, superiority and defamiliarisation, of which the first two have been widely considered to be the basic mechanisms of humour, the third being a notion that is descriptive (as well as prescriptive) of literary texts in general and parody in particular. The three ideas combined create the concept of familiarisation, which is new as far as the name goes, although as a literary formulation it is not entirely without precedent. As far as the background literature that was used goes, the primary sources for theories of humour were Laughter by Henri Bergson, Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious by Sigmund Freud and Linguistic Theories of Humor by Salvatore Attardo. Of great help were also Jeroen Vandaele’s articles Humor Mechanisms in Film Comedy and Narrative Humor, although they ultimately did not get much space in the finished thesis. Other important sources regarding literary theory were Viktor Shklovsky’s article Art as Technique, and Parody by Simon Dentith. Based on a reading of the previously mentioned works, it can be said that Pratchett’s approach to humour does indeed fit together passably well with the canonical notions of comedy in western literary history. Furthermore it may be noted that the humour in question is largely of a positive nature — as opposed to a destructive one — in the way it deals with the material it parodies. It should, however, be pointed out that the analysis in this thesis focuses exclusively on so-called referential humour, and that its conclusions cannot necessarily be extended beyond those limitsTämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli tarkastella kolmea Terry Pratchettin romaania — The Light Fantastic, Interesting Times ja The Last Hero — yleisesti hyväksyttyjen kirjallista huumoria käsittelevien teorioiden näkökulmasta, ja selvittää missä määrin kyseiset teokset noudattavat aiheeseen liittyvien teorioiden antamia sääntöjä ja viitekehyksiä. Tärkeitä käsitteitä tutkielmassa ovat inkongruiteetti eli yhteensopimattomuus, superioriteetti eli ylemmyys, ja defamiliarisaatio, joista kahta ensimmäistä pidetään yleisesti huumorin perusmekanismeina; kolmas on kirjallisuutta ja parodiaa laajemmin kuvaava idea. Nämä kolme teoreettista käsitettä yhdistettynä muodostavat familiarisaation, joka on uusi ainakin nimensä puolesta — hieman epämääräisen idean muodossa se on kyllä löydettävissä joistakin aihepiiriä käsittelevistä aiemmista teksteistä. Lähdekirjallisuudesta tärkeimmät teokset olivat huumorin saralla Henri Bergsonin Laughter, Sigmund Freudin Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious sekä Salvatore Attardon Linguistic Theories of Humor. Lisäksi mainittavan arvoisia ovat Jeroen Vandaelen artikkelit Humor Mechanisms in Film Comedy ja Narrative Humor, joista oli huomattavaa hyötyä kirjoitusprosessissa vaikka ne eivät lopullisessa työssä saaneetkaan suurta huomiota. Yleisempiin kirjallisuusteorioihin liittyen Viktor Shklovskin Art as Technique ja Simon Dentithin Parody olivat tärkeässä roolissa. Edellä mainittujen teosten antaman tiedon valossa voidaan todeta että Pratchettin käyttämä huumori on yhteensopivaa länsimaisen kirjallisuuden historiassa ilmenevien teorioiden kanssa. Lisäksi on mahdollista sanoa, että kyseessä olevien romaanien sisältämät vitsit ovat luonteeltaan positiivisia suhteessa siihen materiaaliin, jota ne parodioivat. On kuitenkin huomattava, että tutkielman analyysi kohdistuu pelkästään niin kutsuttuun viitteelliseen (engl. ”referential”) huumoriin, eikä sen johtopäätöksiä voida soveltaa tämän kentän ulkopuolelle

Thomson, Stuart Rowley. "The barbarian Sophist : Clement of Alexandria's Stromateis and the Second Sophistic." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:98aca742-1277-4635-9d33-73ca18cf9071.
Full textAbstract:
Clement of Alexandria, active in the second half of the second century AD, is one of the first Christian authors to explain and defend the nascent religion in the terms of Greek philosophy and in relation to Greek paideia. His major work, the Stromateis, is a lengthy commentary on the true gnosis of the Christian faith, with no apparent overarching structure or organisational principle, replete with quotations from biblical, Jewish, Greek 'gnostic' and Christian works of all genres. This thesis seeks to read this complex and erudite text in conversation with what has been termed the ‘Second Sophistic’, the efflorescence of elite Greek literature under the Roman empire. We will examine the the text as a performance of authorial persona, competing in the agonistic marketplace of Greek paideia. Clement presents himself as a philosophical teacher in a diadoche from the apostles, arrogating to himself a kind of apostolic authority which appeals to both philosophical notions of intellectual credibility and Christian notions of the authentic handing down of tradition. We will also examine how the work engages key thematic concerns of the period, particularly discourses of intellectual eclecticism and ethnicity, challenging both Greek and Roman forms of hegemony to create a space for Christian identity. Lastly, this thesis will critically examine the Stromateis' intertextual relationship with the Homeric epics; the Iliad and the Odyssey are used as a testing ground for Christian self-positioning in relation to Greek culture as a whole. As we trace this variable relationship, we will also see the cross-fertilisation of reading strategies between Homer and the bible; these developing complex allegorical methods not only presage the rise of Neoplatonism, but also lay the foundations for changes in cultural authority which accompany the Christianisaton of the Roman empire in the centuries after Clement.

Mason, Kirsty. "Puppets of the Barbarian : how Persia controlled Greek relations with the Persian Empire." Thesis, University of Kent, 2016. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/56642/.
Full textAbstract:
The study of Graeco-Persian relations is not new to academia, however, as much of our information is found within Greek literary texts, we are largely at the mercy of Greek bias concerning these relations. This thesis will present a detailed re-examination of the relevant sources to gain further understanding of Graeco-Persian relations, with a view to looking beyond Greek literary bias. This thesis proposes that the influence of the Persian Empire upon the Greeks was greater than is initially implied by our sources and I argue that in the majority of the contacts between Greek and Persian, Persia took control. The notable exception to this is the highly debated Peace of Callias, which forced Persia to offer concessions to the Greeks, but it should be noted that we have no record of possible Greek concessions to Persia, and so we must treat this topic with caution. This thesis expands our knowledge of Graeco-Persian relations by taking a view of the entire period of these relations, from initial contacts until the accession of Alexander the Great, allowing us to view more general trends throughout this period, rather than viewing shorter phases within the whole period.

Taylor, Christian James. "Barbarian masquerade : a reading of the poetry of Tony Harrison and Simon Armitage." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2015. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/12075/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates Simon Armitage’s claim that his poetry inherits from Tony Harrison’s work an interest in the politics of form and language, and argues that both poets, although rarely compared, produce work which is conceptually and ideologically interrelated: principally by their adoption of an ‘un-poetic’, deliberately antagonistic language which is used to invade historically validated and culturally prestigious lyric forms as part of a critique of canons of taste and normative concepts of poetic register which I call barbarian masquerade. Harrison’s first collection The Loiners is analysed alongside Armitage’s debut Zoom! in order to demonstrate a shared antipathy towards traditional form and language, and this poetics of dissent is traced across a range of collections, showing that although Harrison’s writing is more obviously class-conscious or Marxist than Armitage’s ludic and ironic output, both poets’ deployment of masquerade reveals a range of shared aesthetic, poetic and political concerns. The final chapters of the thesis demonstrate the complexity of the two poets’ barbarian poetics by analysing Harrison’s militant secularism and Armitage’s denunciations of state violence, hate crime and social exclusion, and by showing that their masquerade writing transcends simple renegotiations of language, structure and style in its search for a public poetry defined by its engagement with, rather than withdrawal from, social, moral and political debate. The thesis ends by suggesting that Harrison’s influence on Armitage might apply to other New Generation poets and to more recent writers, whose work is invoked in order to suggest a continuity of politicised, barbaric writing.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the emergence of the nation in the British Empire in the process of thinking about empire, economy and biology during the late-Enlightenment and the nineteenth century. A key aspect of this, Knapman argues, was concern over the dialectic of civilization and order as it related to the barbarian and the savage. The notion of the barbarian grounded the European nations in time and therefore constructing a sense of origin and particularism. Equally the savage and the barbarian placed non-European cultures in time. The thesis draws on a range of writers from eighteenth and nineteenth centuries such as Adam Smith, Edward Gibbon, David Hume, Thomas Malthus, John Stuart Mill, Charles Darwin, James Cowles Prichard, Robert Knox and many other lesser-known figures. This is related to an examination of the nation in British representations of Southeast Asia, including colonial officials such as Stamford Raffles, John Crawfurd, and James Brooke who produced encyclopaedic accounts of their experiences in Asia. The thesis argues that while the complex grammar of the British Empire divided the world into spheres of civilisation and barbarism, it retained a special place for barbarians within the core and thus allowed for the naturalisation of nations within the context of an empire of civilizing others.

Full textAbstract:
Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, one of the most widely read and translated authors of the Taishō period, wrote some two dozen short stories centered on the theme of Christianity during his brief career. In this paper, I examine these works, known as kirishitanmono, both in the context of the author’s oeuvre and the intellectual environment of his day. The kirishitanmono are examined for a pervasive use of obscure language and textual density which serves to exoticize Christianity and frame it as an essentially foreign religion. This religion becomes a metaphor for European ideology, which is criticized for its incompatibility with East Asian traditions and, in turn, presented as a metaphor for the impossibility of intercultural dialogue. Finally, I examine the image of the martyr, as presented in both the kirishitanmono and other religious stories, in which the convictions of martyrs are elevated as a pure form of ideology in defiance of modernity.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis originated from a desire to understand why Christians in the Middle Ages condoned religious violence, and how the use of force became an acceptable tool in the armoury of the Church to further its cause. Political and financial motivations aside, 1 argue that the Old Testament played a key role in the shaping of medieval thought to the point where acts of Christian violence were understood as the will of God. 1 aim to address four primary questions. In what ways did the Old Testament grow in popularity throughout the Early Middle Ages? Was there a uniformity of Old Testament influence across the main Christian kingdoms? How was the Old Testament used by Christian writers to elucidate God’s plan for the world? And lastly, how was Scripture used to add meaning to the lives of those who treasured it? The thesis shows, through a range of texts and examples, that the influence of the Old Testament was partly linked to the growth of monasticism. Early monks displayed a preference for the Hebrew Scriptures, and as monasticism spread across Europe, becoming widely popular and fashionable, so did the Old Testament. This process was encouraged by Church leaders who believed that God desired to establish a universal Christian State, acting through medieval kings and emperors who had embraced the Christian faith. Such powers, whose history and culture were steeped in warfare, identified easily with a Yahwistic view of God, one that promised divine protection in return for faithfulness. The thesis provides a deeper investigation of the connection between monasticism and the promotion of Old Testament values in the Middle Ages, and illustrates how the recurrence of Old Testament themes throughout medieval literature helped to breed a culture of Christian violence that would eventually lead to the Crusades.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis critically analyses the ways in which The Netherlands, both as a nation and as an academic community, has understood and represented its origins in the Roman era (50 BC - AD 250) since the advent of its statehood in the 16th century. This involves the contextual analysis of a rich but understudied set of Dutch archaeological discourses developed in the post-WWII era (1945-2014) regarding early episodes of Roman:‘barbarian’ interaction around the lower Rhine limes (roughly corresponding with modern-day The Netherlands). Key research questions comprise: What are the origin and nature of Dutch archaeological discourses on this topic? How does archaeological discourse influence and is influenced by the development and formulation of historical myths and national identities? In what way do multiple contextual factors inform the formulation of such discourse? This study focuses on the works of two major Dutch archaeologists — Willem Willems and Nico Roymans — who have shaped the discipline in the last four decades. It is supported by a series of interviews conducted with native scholars, which provide invaluable insights into the role of personal context in the development of academic discourses and the sociology of Dutch academia, and gives them their own voice. These developments are then compared with wider theoretical approaches and, more specifically, with British post-colonial discourses on the topic of Roman:‘barbarian’ interactions and Roman imperialism. My conclusions are that archaeological discourse in The Netherlands is not derivative of those imported from other major European academic traditions (notably Germany and the UK), or exclusively the result of inherited historical discourse; rather, the evolution of the Dutch academic community itself and the different discourses created within is deeply influenced by a web of interconnected contextual factors at different levels — personal, local, regional, national, international — and spheres, whether cultural, social, political, or intellectual. These multiple contextual factors informing both the choice of theoretical frameworks and the formulation of discourse explain the nuances in discourse between scholars and the unique evolution of Roman archaeology in The Netherlands.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’impuissance de l’ambition littéraire à transcrire fidèlement la barbarie absolue. A partir de la poétique de la disgrâce, elle interroge d’abord le rapport entre écriture et expérience extrême puis, met en exergue les stratégies narratives régissant les récits qui tentent une littérarisation d’expériences jugées indicibles. Elle est ensuite une réflexion sur le statut même de la littérature contemporaine. L’analyse poétique conduit à affirmer dans une première partie que les récits de la catastrophe sont construits autour d’un dilemme : l’indicible, fondé sur l’impuissance du langage rationnel à la nommer, et la nécessité malgré tout de dépasser les frontières de « l’impossible à dire ». Et c’est le renversement de l’écriture de la disgrâce en disgrâce de l’écriture comme procédé esthétique qui permet ce dépassement. La deuxième partie permet de constater la récurrence de certains invariants se présentant comme éléments pertinents de littérarité. C’est notamment le cas du recours à la désacralisation de l’écriture. Celle-ci engendre une littérature du vide, de l’incertitude. C’est ensuite la notion de fragmentation du sujet qui place véritablement nos œuvres tantôt dans la littérature postmoderne occidentale ou bien dans littérature de la postcolonie africaineThis thesis deals with the unability of literary ambition to faithfully transcribe absolute barbarism. Using the poetics of disgrace, it questions the relationship between writing and extreme experience on the one hand, and brings out the narrative strategies governing the stories attempting a novelization of experiences judged unspeakable on the other. It is then a reflection on the very status of contemporary literature.The poetic analysis leads us to affirm in a first part that tales of catastrophe are built on a dilemma: the unspeakable; based on the powerlessness of rational language to name it and the necessity, despite it all, to transcend the frontiers of the “impossible to say”. And it is the reversal of the writing of disgrace into the disgrace of writing as an aesthetical means which allows this transcendence. The second part allows us to see the recurrence of some invariants presenting themselves as pertinent elements of writing. This engenders a literature of the void, of uncertainty. It is then the notion of the subject’s fragmentation which truly places our works either in western postmodern literature or in African postcolonial literature

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudie l’image de l’Afrique dans la poésie latine, d’Ennius à Corippe. Dans la plupart des occurrences, l’Afrique n’est présente que pour son caractère connotatif et sert surtout l’amplification du discours. Nous pouvons néanmoins en déduire un certain nombre de caractéristiques qui participent d’une imagerie topique attachée à l’Afrique. Nous avons ensuite mis en évidence la manière dont les poètes traitent ce matériau africain, ainsi que les caractéristiques propres à l’Afrique, qui la distinguent des autres régions « barbares » de l’Empire. L’originalité de l’Afrique, enfin, vient de la place qu’elle occupe dans le genre épique, puisqu’elle est le théâtre de plusieurs oeuvres. L’amplification propre au genre, qui se nourrit des réalités et de l’imaginaire précédemment évoqués, lui confère une dimension mythique, au point qu’elle joue un rôle fondamental dans la construction de ces poèmes. Par un effet de retour, elle en vient à être évoquée, dans les genres dits mineurs, commemétaphore pour désigner le genre épiqueThis thesis is devoted to the study of the representation of Africa in Latin poetry, from Ennius until Corippus. In most cases, allusions to Africa have a mere connotative value and fulfill an amplification purpose. Nonetheless, various characteristics of the stereotypes associated to Africa can be deduced from them. We also describe the methods used by the poets to deal with these stereotypes and we shed light on the characteristics that make Africa different from the other “barbarian” regions of the Roman Empire. The originality of Africa is related to the importance it takes in epic, since Africa is the scene of several poems. The amplification proper to epic, mainly based on these stereotypes, gives Africa a mythic dimension and it plays thus a fundamental role in the structure of epic poems.

Full textAbstract:
Les réformes menées sous Dioclétien et Constantin établirent des circonscriptions et des hiérarchies administratives qui demeurèrent stables dans les Gaules, les Espagnes et en Bretagne, tout au long du IVe siècle. Suite aux usurpations du début du Ve siècle et aux installations des groupes barbares, le pouvoir préfectoral arlésien perdit progressivement le contrôle sur ces provinces, ce qui perturba le fonctionnement de l’appareil fiscal. Au Ve siècle, des membres des familles sénatoriales les plus en vue, souvent originaires du diocèse des Sept Provinces, accaparèrent la charge de préfet du prétoire des Gaules. L’administration des provinces gauloises et hispaniques qui reconnaissaient encore le pouvoir impérial fut alors de plus en plus décentralisée. À partir de la fin des années 460, des aristocrates gallo ou hispano-romains apparaissent comme étant au service des rois, un phénomène qui indique que ces pouvoirs barbares devenaient des acteurs politiques incontournables. La disparition de l’autorité impériale en Occident et le fait que les royaumes romano-barbares devinrent des entités politiques autonomes parachevèrent les fragmentations territoriales, politiques et sociales initiées depuis le début du Ve siècle. Ces nouveaux pouvoirs n’eurent d’autres solutions que de conserver une partie des instances de l’administration judiciaire et fiscale romaine et de les adapter aux nouveaux espaces. Ainsi, c’est à l’échelle locale et, surtout, au niveau de la cité que l’essentiel des fonctions de l’administration civile furent dès lors accomplies et que les trois acteurs majeurs de la vie administrative dans la Gaule franque et l’Hispanie wisigothe, à savoir le comte, l’évêque et les élites des cités, évoluèrentReforms established under the age of Diocletian and Constantin set up circumscriptions and administrative hierarchies that remained stable throughout the IVth century in Gaul, Spain and Britain. As a consequence of usurpations at the beginning of the Vth century and of Barbarians’ settlements, the Arlesian prefectoral power progressively lost the control of these provinces, thus perturbing the fiscal system. In the Vth century, the prominent senatorial family members, who were often from the Seven Provinces diocese, monopolized the position of praetorian prefect of Gaul. The administration of Gallic and Spanish provinces, which still recognized the imperial power, became more and more decentralized. As of the late 460's, Gallic and Spanish aristocrats are established as kings' servants, which indicates that these Barbarian leaders were becoming very important political players. In the western territories, the disappearance of the imperial power, together with the fact that the Romano-Germanic kingdoms became autonomous political bodies, finished the territorial, political and social fragmentation process that had started at the beginning of the Vth century. These new power entities had no other solution than keeping some of the Roman legal and fiscal administration authorities and adapting them to the new territories. As a consequence, it is at the local scale, and mostly at city level, that most of the positions in civil administration were located and involved the three main players in the Frankish Gaul and Visigothic Spain administration, namely the count, the bishop and the city élites

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how the monuments and literature during the reign of Trajan imbue the portrayals of westerns barbarians with Roman-like qualities in order to create sympathetic barbarian characters. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that both imperial monuments and authors employed these presentations of Roman-like barbarians for political purposes. In order to achieve this goal, the portrayals of barbarians found both major imperial monuments at Rome and in the literature of Trajanic authors, such as the Column of Trajan and the historian Tacitus, are examined. The portrayal of barbarians in imperial monuments primarily serves to portray Trajan as virtuous ruler. The authors Frontinus and Pliny similarly use Roman-like barbarians in their works to glorify Trajan. The historian Tacitus employs Roman-like barbarians to criticize the morals of Rome during the reign of past emperors, namely Nero and Domitian. By examining these thematic similarities between the monuments and the authors of the time of Trajan, this paper demonstrates the importance of the portrayals of barbarians in politically charged art and literature of the time and the attentiveness the authors had towards the political stances of the principate.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an archaeological, historical, and ethnohistorical study of the nineteenth-century BaPhuthi, a peripatetic, horticulturist chiefdom with a political economy premised upon cattle raiding and active in southern Africa's Maloti-Drakensberg Mountains. The BaPhuthi appear as a valuable case study for exploring how 'tribes' and cultural identities (particularly when rooted in subsistence strategies) are historically and archaeologically constructed. Firstly, the thesis explores how eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sociocultural taxonomies were crafted by colonists and colonial subjects alike, with ethnonyms acting as ciphers for political and economic behaviours and locational traits rather than emic identifications. The BaPhuthi's choice to combine traits of hierarchical chiefdoms with pronounced mobility and heterodox, 'outlaw' activities (i.e. voluntarily becoming barbarians) confounded these taxa, as the BaPhuthi failed to conform to expectations of forager, farmer, chiefly, or 'savage' behaviour, rendering them historically marginal or invisible. The thesis thus employs a range of archival evidence to reconstruct BaPhuthi lifeways and historical trajectories. The BaPhuthi emerged and thrived in the borderlands between Moshoeshoe I's Basotho state, the eastern Cape Colony, and the Orange Free State: they exploited the ambiguities of colonial authority to build an extensive network of alliances premised upon cattle raiding, aided by their ability to turn the inhospitable terrain of the Maloti-Drakensberg to their advantage. This analysis illuminates the BaPhuthi as a culturally hybrid, ethnogenetic polity that attracted and discharged a disparate following as needed, while maintaining a degree of solidarity and chiefly hierarchy. The thesis details the BaPhuthi's peripatetic settlement strategy: BaPhuthi leaders established multiple dispersed political seats throughout their territories south of the Senqu River, which they would frequently activate and deactivate, enabling them to settle their heterogeneous following within their territories. The thesis then explores archaeological corollaries of BaPhuthi lifeways: historical analysis suggests that the BaPhuthi's archaeological footprint would be ephemeral (despite their polity's regional significance), and archaeological approaches to Iron Age Farming Communities (based in the historical identities described above) currently do not fully accommodate polities such as the BaPhuthi. The thesis discusses a methodology designed to address the archaeology of the BaPhuthi polity and its results. Considering how the BaPhuthi fashioned a diverse, heterodox chiefdom that manipulated the ambiguities of colonial rule encourages re-visiting prevailing conceptions of how cultural identities and economies are rooted in contingent historical circumstances; drawing on comparative cases from North and South America suggests revising longstanding views of the Maloti-Drakensberg as a marginal colonial theatre and re-positioning heterodox actors as capable of influencing the terms of colonial encounters.

Full textAbstract:
La présente recherche sous la direction de J.-M. Carrié, a porté sur les fédérés (foederati), ces combattants barbares servant dans leurs contingents ethnico-tactiques sous commandement de leurs chefs ethniques. Les fédérés étaient fournis par des groupes ethniques alliés de l’Empire dans le cadre de traités (foedus/foedera, spondê/spondai, synthêkê/synthêkai) : des gentes foederatae, enspondoi, hypospondoi, ces termes soulignant le lien diplomatique entre l’Empire et la gens. A la dimension diplomatique, s’ajoute la dimension militaire exprimée dans le vocabulaire de l’alliance (societas, symmachia), de l’auxiliariat (auxilium) ainsi que dans celui de l’amitié (amicitia/philia). L’analyse terminologique montre que les auteurs anciens utilisent le vocabulaire classique comme un filtre qu’il faut dépasser pour appréhender les fédérés. Une analyse fine et contextualisée des sources restituant une stratigraphie sémantique et révélant les anachronismes d'historiens décrivant d'après la situation de leur époque des phénomènes passés, a permis de souligner cette évolution masquée par la continuité terminologique. L’apparition des termes techniques foederati et phoideratoi au Ve siècle ne doit pas tromper. Il faut interpréter le terme foederati à partir des années 400 comme le recours à un terme républicain ancien pour désigner un nouvel aspect d’une réalité connue des Romains – celle des contingents fournis par les alliés selon des traités – notamment depuis le basculement stratégique des guerres danubiennes sous Marc Aurèle qui annoncent les difficultés à venir de l’Empire au IIIe siècle – puis aux Ve et VIe siècles – et la nécessité pour ce dernier de trouver des solutions aux périls pesant sur l’ordre impérial : le recours au substantif foederati permettait de nommer des combattants levés par traités auprès de gentes établies sur le sol impérial (gentes foederatae intra fines imperii), les Goths incarnant, après Andrinople, les premières gentes établies par traités dans l’Empire, alors que le terme désignait les contingents ethnico-tactiques fournis par des gentes foederatae extérieures au territoire impérial. Il faut distinguer les foederati extérieurs fournis par les gentes foederatae extérieures des foederati impériaux fournis par les gentes établies dans l’Empire à partir des années 380-400. Si le phénomène des foederati est ancien, les admissions territoriales de gentes par foedera/spondai lui conférèrent de nouveaux aspects. Par l’établissement territorial de gentes intra fines imperii, l’Empire appliquait à des groupes un mode de gestion de relations romano-barbares réservé aux gentes extérieures au territoire impérial : la conclusion de traités. Pris dans une logique de rapports de force, sur son sol et sur ses confins, l’Empire devait utiliser ces gentes selon ses intérêts. L’étude montre que l’Empire tenta de maîtriser le phénomène en intégrant les foederati au système militaire impérial suivant des besoins militaires, tactiques et stratégiques. Le recours aux chefs comme médiateurs entre leurs gentes, leurs fédérés et l’Empire a été fondamental. La volonté de contrôle de l’Etat impérial se mesure également à l’intégration des foederati au système logistique (ravitaillement, rémunérations, entretien) de la machine de guerre impériale. On peut se demander si l’Etat impérial n’a pas conçu les foederati comme un outil permettant de gérer différemment les ressources militaires, humaines et financières nécessaires à la défense de l’Empire. A cette fin, l’idéologie impériale a développé un discours justifiant l’emploi par l’Empire de ses gentes foederatae avec des objectifs stratégiques répondant aux défis auxquels l’Empire fut confronté de la fin du IIIe siècle au début du VIIe siècleThe federates (foederati, symmachoi, auxiliares) were soldiers recruited among barbarian groups (gentes) – settled inside or outside the Empire – who committed by treaties (foedus/foedera ; spondê/spondai) to provide the Emperor with warriors serving on their owns.The study tries to show that the Empire attempted to control this phenomenon by including the foederati to the imperial military system in accordance with military needs and specific tactics.The will of control from the imperial state is also measured by the integration of the foederati into the imperial logistical system during military operations (food supplies, payment, and maintenance).One can wonder if the imperial state didn’t create the foederati as a tool allowing to manage – in a different way – the military, human, and financial resources required to the defense of the Empire.To that purpose, the imperial ideology seems to have set up a speech to justify and legitimate the employment by the Empire of these gentes foederatae (enspondoi, hypospondoi) with strategic goals/aims, in agreement with the challenges the Empire was confronted by from the end of the 3rd century to the beginning of the 7th (century)

Full textAbstract:
La chanteuse Barbara (1930-1997) est-elle poète ? Comme elle s'en défendit obstinément, ne s'accordant jamais que le titre de "Femme qui chante", comme elle délaissa assez régulièrement la plume, sous quels critères pouvons-nous lui accorder son brevet de poésie ? La richesse de ses oeuvres, comme "Nantes" (1963) et "Au bois de Saint-Amand" (1964), qui seront étudiées séparément et intégralement, pourrait à elle seule en offrir la garantie. Mais leur analyse minutieuse prouve davantage une profonde unité de l'écriture barbaresque. Certes, la versification et la langue qu'elle choisit évoluent considérablement en quarante ans de carrière : Barbara suit et devance la modernité en adoptant progressivement des structures tout à fait originales. Mais surtout, les mêmes aspirations, les mêmes usages d'un texte à l'autre se repèrent : constructions qui mettent en valeur des symboles, recherche d'une oralité expressive, sélection du lexique, création de mots, insertion du discours direct, choix énonciatifs marqués par le souci du dialogue, jeux sur les variations, goût des effets de surprise et du mystère. . Ce qui va faire la renommée de Barbara, c'est précisément la valeur autobiographique de ses poèmes, l'implication personnelle qui se dégage explicitement et implicitement de chacun d'eux, qu'elle corrige d'ailleurs régulièrement. Barbara devient à la scène comme sur le papier un personnage ambivalent et complexe qui affiche une dévotion sans partage à son public. Or toute sa poésie rend compte de cette élaboration de son image à travers une topique obsédante, reflet de son univers intime, de ses inspirations discrète et des traumatismes de son existence. Alors les mots de Barbara, lestés de tous ces poids et allégés par les notes de musique, formeront bien ce que l'on a coutume dáppeler une parole poétique.

Full textAbstract:
À partir du règne de Constantin Ier, la défense de l’Empire fut mise en œuvre par un corps de généraux qui récupérèrent les anciens pouvoirs militaires des préfets du prétoire : les magistri militum. Confrontés à des menaces militaires incessantes (pression barbare aux frontières et épisodes de guerre civile), ces officiers supérieurs furent la plupart du temps épargnés par les purges qui frappaient le personnel de cour, car ils constituaient une assise fondamentale du pouvoir de l’empereur. Au début du Ve siècle ap. J.-C., l’Empire romain unifié fit place à deux partes imperii indépendantes, voire rivales : un Empire byzantin replié sur l’Orient, et une partie occidentale qui tendit à se fragmenter en royaumes barbares. Comment le haut commandement militaire évolua-t-il dans chacune de ces régions ? Ce corps d’officiers a fait l’objet d’une étude prosopographique tenant compte des recherches les plus récentes, en vue de fournir une synthèse qui a été menée selon trois axes principaux : - en termes institutionnels, quelle était la place de ces généraux dans la chaîne de commandement ?- en termes d’histoire militaire, quel fut le rôle de ces généraux dans les transformations que connut l’armée romaine tardive ?- en termes d’histoire sociale, comment cette noblesse militaire, dont une partie avait des origines barbares, se définissait-elle par rapport à la romanité et à la société de cour tardo-antique ?From the reign of Constantine the Great onward, the defence of the Empire was the responsibility of a group of generals who were trusted with the previous military responsabilities of the pretorian prefects : the magistri militum. Facing restless threats (barbarian pressure on the frontiers and episodes of civil war), these high officers were most of the time kept away from the regular revolutions that struck the court : they were one of the base of the imperial authority. At the beginning of the fifth century, the unified roman Empire had been replaced by two independent, sometimes even rival partes imperii : a byzantine Empire, limited to the East, and a western part which eventually collapsed to form barbarian kingdoms. How did the high military command evolve in each of these parts ?A prosopographical study, taking into account the most up-to-date research, has been made on this group of officiers, in order to provide a synthesis developing three main axis :- from an institutional point of view, what was the place of these generals in the chain of command ?- from a military point of view, which role did this generals play in the transformations that affected the Late roman army ?- from a social point of view, how did this military nobility, which included people with barbarian origins, defined herself with regard to romanity and the Late Antique court society ?

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo discutir a relação entre educação e seus vínculos com a cultura dominante, a partir de uma leitura de Adorno e Hannah Arendt. Com base na Dialética do esclarecimento, buscou-se discutir os paradoxos do Iluminismo e da primazia de um saber científico como condição do progresso humano: o projeto iluminista ao mesmo tempo em que visou libertar os homens daquilo que os oprime e amedronta, criou mecanismos que os tornou prisioneiros de uma cultura de dominação. Dentro desse contexto, propõe-se refletir sobre a tecnificação e instrumentalização dos saberes, que configuram a coisificação e anulação dos sujeitos, dissolvendo as qualidades dos indivíduos, reduzindo-os a simples componentes de coletivos manipuláveis. Num segundo momento, teve-se como preocupação pensar a ambiguidade presente no processo educacional que, embora tendo como objetivo a construção da autonomia e emancipação dos indivíduos pode funcionar como espaço de manifestação da barbárie. Procurou-se ainda pensar a violência contida no processo civilizatório e a reprodução de uma cultura repressiva, articulando-as aos aspectos violentos na relação pedagógica, como reflexos do imaginário que se constituiu a cerca da profissão de professor e da escola, o que Adorno chama de tabus. O intuito é pensar uma educação que se contraponha à barbárie e que volte seu olhar para os aspectos da cultura e para os acontecimentos do passado e do presente que são determinantes para a compreensão da violência cotidiana. O intuito, então, é pensar uma educação que favoreça a autocrítica...
The aim of this research is to discuss the relationship between education and its links with dominant culture starting from a study of what Adorno and Hannah Arendt say. Based on the Dialectic of Enlightenment there was an effort on discussing the paradoxes of Enlightenment and the primacy of scientific knowledge as a condition of human progress: while the Illuminist project aimed to free men of fear and oppression, it also created mechanisms that made them prisoners of a dominant culture. This study intends to analyse the technology expansion and instrumentalization of knowledge, which make up the “reification” and annulation of the individual, dissolving its qualities, reducing them to simple components of collective manipulation. Secondly, it was necessary to think about the ambiguity of the educational process, although its aim is to build up individual autonomy and empowerment it can work as a place of manifestation of barbarism. There was also an effort on thinking of the violence in the civilizing process and the reproduction of a repressive culture, linking them to the violent aspects of the pedagogical relationship as...

Full textAbstract:
The Irish Rebellion profoundly affected the literary and political imagination of John Milton and his contemporaries. This work examines some of the textual strategies employed in representing the Irish Rebellion. These include analogies to the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, the Old Testament, and paternity. Each of these analogies works in con j unction Nvith the familiar, barbaric Irish stereotype in order to discredit the political objectives of the rebels. In addition, many of these political analogies prompt accusations of sexual depravity. This association of the political and the sexual is essential in how Milton, in particular, genders the godly commonwealth as masculine. Representing the Irish, however, also betrays domestic political anxieties. The binary opposition of civility and barbarism prompts an active struggle against barbarism on both a national and individual level. Paradoxically, the more the Irish stereotype is used in an attempt to differentiate and distance the Irish from the godly commonivealth, the closer the poles of the binary opposition come together.
