Full textAbstract:
Many of the stories found in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer are adapted from other sources, a common practice amongst Medieval authors. But Chaucer often draws attention to his derivations by explicitly naming a source for the stories he uses. This strategy is employed in different ways. In Troilus and Criseyde, a false source is cited, but in the Clerk's Tale, Chaucer names the actual source of the story. In this thesis, identification and close examination of Chaucer's source materials reveal his changes to the derived texts, and an analysis of the role of the narrator in each case demonstrates the different narrative strategies he employs. Although Chaucer is clearly using different strategies in the two works, both raise questions about final authority over a text. These questions are the central issues explored in this thesis.

Buysschaert, Bram. "Sismologie des étoiles chaudes magnétiques." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEO004/document.
Full textAbstract:
Environ 10% des étoiles de type spectral O, B ou A ont un champ magnétique fort, détectable, stable et à grande échelle à leur surface, qui ressemble le plus souvent à un dipôle. Des modèles théoriques et des simulations numériques prédisent ces champs magnétiques vus en surface pénètrent aussi dans les zones radiatives et influencent la structure interne. Les modèles prédisent que ces champs magnétiques imposent une rotation uniforme dans les zones radiatives et peuvent supprimer la pénétration convective autour du cœur. Cela a des conséquences sur l’évolution de ces étoiles chaudes magnétiques. Pour ce faire, l’astérosismologie est la meilleure méthode car les paramètres des pulsations stellaires sont directement liés aux conditions physiques internes. Plusieurs types de pulsations stellaires sont connus et classés en fonction de leur force de rappel. Parmi eux, les plus à même de sonder les régions proches du cœur des étoiles, sur lequel se concentre notre intérêt dans cette thèse sont les modes de gravité, qui sont gouvernés par la force d’Archimède.Notre premier objectif était d’identifier des étoiles chaudes, pulsantes et magnétiques et de caractériser leurs propriétés magnétiques et sismiques. Des étoiles ont été sélectionnées grâce à des diagnostics observationnels indirects de la présence d’un champ magnétique qou nous confirmons grâce à de la spectropolarimétrie optique à haute résolution obtenue avec ESPaDOnS, Narval et ESPaDOnS. Pour deux étoiles magnétiques connues, HD43317 et o Lup, nous avons caractérisé la géométrie et l’intensité du champ magnétique aves des séries temporelles spectropolarimétriques. Pour toutes les étoiles de notre échantillon, nous avons également obtenu des séries temporelles photométriques très précises grâce aux télescopes spatiaux BRITE, CoRoT ou K2 pour étudier leur variabilité (périodique) cohérente. Seulement HD43317 a révélé des dizaines de fréquences de pulsations stellaires, pointant plutôt vers des modes de gravité.Nous nous sommes ensuite concentrés sur HD43317 dans pour déterminer observationellement la structure interne de cette étoile magnétique chaude. Nous avons fait usage de modélisation sismique: les fréquences des modes de pulsations observées dans les données CoRoT, couvrant 150j, ont été ajustées à celles des modes gravito-inertiels calculés avec le code de pulsations GYRE couplé aux modèles MESA. Nous avons pu associer les fréquences des modes de pulsations à des séries de modes (l,m) = (1,−1) et (2,−1) se chevauchant. La petite zone de pénétration convective dans la zone radiative telle que déduite du modèle MESA optimal s’avère cohérente avec les prédictions théoriques. Néanmoins, les intervalles de confiance sur certains paramètres physiques issus des modèles sont très larges et compatibles avec les valeurs de la littérature pour des étoiles chaudes et pulsantes mais non-magnétiques. Nous en concluons que la série temporelle de 150j de données CoRoT est trop courte pour déterminer d’une manière non-équivoque la structure interne des étoiles magnétiques chaudes, et par conséquent pour distinguer leur structure interne de celle des étoiles chaudes non-magnétiques.Malgré nos efforts de modélisation détaillée de la meilleure étoile chaude pulsantemagnétique HD43317, nous n’avons pas pu corroborer observationnellement les prédictions théoriques d’une structure interne altérée pour les étoiles chaudes magnétiques. Des simplifications et des approximations ont dû être faites au cours de la modélisation sismique en raison de la résolution en fréquence limitée des données CoRoT. D’autres efforts pour inclure le magnétisme dans les codes de pulsations ou le magnétisme, la rotation et le transfert du moment cinétique dans les modèles d’évolution stellaire seront nécessaires afin de déterminer si les signatures magnétiques sont présentes pour les nombreux pulsateurs gravito-inertiels récemment découverts dans la base de données de KeplerAbout ten percent of stars with spectral type O, B or A have a detectable stable strong large-scale magnetic field at their surface, which most often resembles a magnetic dipole. These large-scale magnetic fields extend into the radiative layers of the OBA stars. Theory and simulations predict that they alter the internal structure and physical properties of these stars. In particular, it is expected that these large-scale magnetic fields enforce uniform rotation in the radiative layers and may suppress convective core overshooting. This has consequences for the evolution of these magnetic hot stars and it has implications for galactic evolution. Therefore, we observed and investigated the internal structure of magnetic hot stars. To do so, asteroseismology is the best method as the oscillation properties are directly related to the internal physical conditions. Various types of stellar oscillations are known and they are classified based on their dominant restoring force. Of these, gravity modes are governed by the buoyancy force and have their strongest probing power in the near core region, which is the domain of our interest.Our first objective was to identify pulsating magnetic hot stars and characterize their magnetic and seismic properties. We constructed a sample of magnetic candidate stars, by following indirect observational diagnostics for the presence of a large-scale magnetic field, to confirm with ground-based high-resolution optical spectropolarimetry taken with ESPaDOnS, Narval or HARPSpol. For two known magnetic stars, HD43317 and o Lup, we characterized the geometry and strength of the field in detail by analysing spectropolarimetric time series. For each star in our sample, we obtained high-cadence high-precision space-based photometry from BRITE, CoRoT, or K2 to study (periodic) variability. Only HD43317 revealed tens of stellar pulsations mode frequencies that pointed towards gravity modes. Only a few other stars studied showed a few pulsation mode frequencies, unsuitable for seismic modelling.We investigated the B3.5V star HD43317 in detail to determine the internal structure of a magnetic hot star. We did this by forward seismic modelling, where observed stellar pulsation mode frequencies in the CoRoT data covering ∼150d were fit to those of gravito-intertial modes computed with the pulsation code GYRE, coupled to MESA stellar structure models. We identified the pulsation mode frequencies as overlapping (l, m) = (1,-1) and (2,-1) mode series. The small convective core overshooting region derived from the seismic modelling was in line with the theoretical predictions. Yet, some of the parameters for the best fitted models were also compatible with literature values for non-magnetic pulsators within the derived uncertainties. We conclude that the CoRoT time series of ∼150d is too short to lead to stringent constraints and tests of the stellar interior to discriminate between magnetic and non-magnetic pulsating hot stars.From our detailed modelling efforts of the best studied pulsating magnetic hot star HD43317, we were unable to observationally corroborate the theoretical predictions of an altered internal structure for magnetic hot stars. Simplifications and approximations were made during the forward seismic modelling due to the limited frequency resolution of the CoRoT data in terms of its time base. Further efforts to include magnetism in the pulsation codes, or magnetism, rotation, and angular momentum transport in the evolutionary models, are worthwhile to test whether magnetic signatures are present in the numerous (non-magnetic) gravito-inertial pulsators recently found in the nominal Kepler database (which has a ten times better frequency resolution compared to CoRoT)

Smith, Sheri. "Answers to prayer in Chaucer." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2016. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/97639/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses answers to prayer in Chaucer’s works. It contextualises this analysis through attention to late-medieval devotion, arguing that Chaucer uses petitionary prayer both to explore important themes, such as the injustice of suffering innocence, and to challenge elements of contemporary religious practice. Chapter One explores petitionary prayer in theory, teaching, and lay practice, proving that late-medieval understandings of prayer’s effectiveness are varied, contradictory, and at times problematic. Two of Chaucer’s dream visions, 'The Book of the Duchess' and 'The House of Fame', feature in the second chapter, which demonstrates that answers to prayer in these texts fulfil a dual function, operating both as literary device and as the means through which Chaucer examines themes of profound importance which recur throughout his works. Chapter Three addresses conflicting prayers in two romances, arguing that Chaucer uses answered prayer in 'The Knight’s Tale' to obliquely critique the weaponisation of prayer in contemporary Christian society, inviting a focus on human responsibility for conflict, and that this emphasis on agency is continued through relegating the role of prayer in 'The Franklin’s Tale'. Chapter Four analyses the divergent discourses surrounding prayer in the hagiographic tales, concluding that the extent to which the narratorial voice faithfully represents the answers to the hagiographic subject’s prayers depends on the didactic purpose expressed. The final chapter examines the unanswered and unanswerable prayers of 'Troilus and Criseyde', arguing that Chaucer offers the poem’s Trinitarian conclusion and a poetic recreation of the Boethian conception of time in response to the problems posed by these prayers. This thesis demonstrates that, rather than operating as a mere device for advancing plots, petitionary prayer provides Chaucer with a powerful tool with which to pursue several philosophical and theological issues at the heart of his writing.

Full textAbstract:
Parmi les 400 exoplanètes découvertes, seulement une petite fraction sont en orbites autour d'étoiles plus massives que les étoiles de type solaire. Afin de contraindre les scénarios de formation et d'évolution des systèmes planétaires dans leur globalité il est cependant nécessaire de s'intéresser à la détection de planètes autour de telles étoiles. Dans le cadre de cette thèse je me suis focalisé sur les étoiles A et F de la séquence principale. La mesure de vitesses radiales (VR) précises est délicate pour ces étoiles (peu de raies, rotation élevée), de plus la présence de pulsations ou d'activité magnétique perturbent les mesures et peuvent faire croire à la présence de planètes. D'une part, des relevés systématiques ont permis la détection de plusieurs candidats et la détermination des premières statistiques sur la présence de planètes autour des étoiles A-F. D'autre part, des simulations numériques nous ont permis de simuler l'effet des taches, plages et pulsations sur les variations de VR, photométrie et astrométrie. Grâce à cela, nous avons effectué une étude quantitative complète de l'effet d'une tache à la surface d'étoiles de types spectraux variés et pour différentes configurations (position, taille, vsini). Nous avons aussi simulé l'effet des taches et plages (extraites des observations) sur les VR du Soleil telles qu'elles auraient pu être mesurées sur plus d'un cycle d'activité. A l'aide de ces simulations, nous avons étudié la détectabilité de planètes de masse terrestre dans la zone habitable d'étoiles de type solaire.

Full textAbstract:
Fils d'un cordonnier de Nevers, chassé à 13 ans du collège en raison de son caractère rebelle, ayant vécu la rude vie de marin durant la guerre d'Amérique, Chaumette adopte rapidement les positions radicales de la démocratie parisienne au printemps 1791, aux cotes des cordeliers, des journalistes des révolutions de Paris. Élu membre de la commune insurrectionnelle par la section du théâtre français, il rompt avec les girondins sur la question de la garde départementale. Élu procureur de la commune de Paris en décembre 1792, il contribue à la victoire du 31 mai 1793 sur les girondins en plaçant la commune au centre du mouvement des sections parisiennes, mobilisées contre les girondins pour l'emprunt force sur les riches. Il prend la tête des manifestants qui le 5 septembre 1793 obtiennent de la convention la création de l'armée révolutionnaire. Il se rallie à l'offensive déchristianisatrice par haine de la Vendée et par pragmatisme révolutionnaire : les palais épiscopaux deviendront temple de l'humanité, accueillant les vieillards et les malades. Ayant voulu disputer le contrôle de l'appareil terroriste parisien au comité de sureté générale, il perd le soutien des cordeliers. Il approuve les décrets de Saint-Just, et celui qui abolit l'esclavage ; il ne s'associe pas à la tentative cordelière d'épuration de la convention. Accusé d'avoir accepté l'or de l'étranger et d'avoir voulu démoraliser la république en imposant l'athéisme, il est guillotiné, en réalité parce que le gouvernement révolutionnaire stabilisé doit nécessairement briser toute velléité d'indépendance politique de la sans-culotterieSon of a shoemaker from Nevers, France, expelled from secondary school at the age of 13 because of his rebellious nature, having lived the tough life of a merchant marine during of american war for independence, chaumette quickly took up the radical positions of parisian democracy in the spring of 1791, alongside the cordeliers, journalists from revolutions de paris, elected member of the insurrectional commune by the "théâtre français" section, he broke with the "girondins" over the question of the formation of a regional militia based in paris to protect the convention. Elected paris commune "procureur" in december 1792, he played a role in the may 31, 1793 victory over the "girondins" by placing the commune at the centre of the movement of parisian sections, mobilised against the "girondins" in order to ensure the forced borrowing of money from the rich. He was at the head of the september 5, 1793 demonstrators who obtained the creation or a revolutionary army from the convention. He rallied to the dechiristianisation offensive due to his hate of the vendee counter-revolutionary uprising and through revolutionary pragmatism : the epispocal palace then became the temple of humanity, welcoming the old and the sick. When he tried to win control of the parisian terrorist apparatus of the comite de surete generale, he lost the support of the cordeliers. He approved Saint-Just's decrees hand those abolishing slavery ; he refused to be associated with the cordelian attempt to purge the convention. Accused for having accepted gold from abroad and for having attempted to demoralise the republic by imposing atheism, he was guillotined. The real reason for his conviction, in fact was the need for the newly stabilised revolutionary government to do away with any sort of political independence on the part of the "sans-culottes"

Spellmire, Adam. "Unfinished Quests from Chaucer to Spenser." Thesis, Tufts University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10118638.
Full textAbstract:
Late medieval English texts often represent unfinished quests for obscurely significant objects. These works create enchanted worlds where more always remains to be discovered and where questers search for an ur-text, an authoritative book that promises perfect knowledge. Rather than reaching this ur-text, however, questers confront rumor, monstrous babble, and the clamor of argument, which thwart their efforts to gather together sacred wholeness. Yet while threatening, noise also preserves the sacred by ensuring that it remains forever elsewhere, for recovering perfect knowledge would disenchant the world. Scholarship on medieval noise often focuses on class: medieval writers tend to describe threats to political authority as noisy. These unfinished quests, though, suggest that late medieval literature’s complex investment in noise extends further and involves the very search for the sacred, a search full of opaque language and unending desire. Noise, then, becomes the sound of narrative itself.
While romance foregrounds questing most clearly, these ideas appear in a variety of genres. Chapter 1 shows that in the House of Fame rumor both perpetuates and undermines knowledge, so sacred authority must remain beyond the poem’s frame. Chapter 2 juxtaposes the Parliament of Fowls and the Canon’s Yeoman’s Tale, in which lists replace missing quest-objects, the philosopher’s stone and certainty about love. Chapter 3 centers on Piers Plowman, which becomes encyclopedic as one attempt to “preve what is Dowel” leads to another, and Will never definitively learns how to save his soul, the knowledge he most wants. Chapter 4 turns to Julian of Norwich’s search for divine “mening” and her confrontation with an incoherent fiend, an anxious moment that aligns her with these less serene contemporaries. Chapter 5 argues that Thomas Malory’s elusive, noisy Questing Beast at once bolsters and undermines chivalry. The final chapter looks ahead to Book VI of The Faerie Queene, where the Blatant Beast, a sixteenth-century amalgam of the fame tradition and the Questing Beast, menaces Faery Land yet, as a figure for poetry, also contributes to its enchantment. In trying to locate and maintain the sacred, these unfinished quests evoke worlds intensely anxious about “auctoritee.”

A l'occasion de ces recherches, nous avons également isolé l'orthobunyavirus Kaeng Khoi dont l'importance médicale est mal connueThe reservoir of rabies in wildlife is unknown in Cambodia although the disease is commonly reported in the country. Furthermore, pteropid bats, suspected to be the natural reservoir of the deadly henipaviruses, are present in Cambodia suggesting the presence of theses viruses in the country. Consequently, we conducted our research work to look for emerging viruses belonging to the genera Lyssavirus and Henipavirus, in bats in Cambodia. We got the serologic evidence of lyssaviruses infection in bats, but the(se) virus(es) could not be isolated. Interestingly, we got one Nipah virus isolate from the urine of one Pteropus lylei specimen. This result strengthens the hypothesis that flying foxes are the natural host of Nipah virus. In addition, during these investigations, we isolated the orthobunyavirus Kaeng Khoi, of which the medical importance is inknown

L’interférométrie optique/IR à longue base a été récemment mise en place comme une technique capable de résoudre spatialement les étoiles et leurs environnements circumstellaires au niveau de la milliseconde d'angle (mas). Cette haute résolution ouvre toute une nouvelle fenêtre pour l'étude des systèmes astrophysiques, fournissant des informations inaccessibles par d'autres techniques. Les disques astrophysiques sont observés dans une grande variété de systèmes, de galaxies jusqu'aux anneaux planétaires, partageant communément des processus physiques similaires. Deux disques particuliers sont étudiés dans la thèse: (i) les étoiles B He-riches qui présente des champs magnétiques de l'ordre de kG et que confine leurs vents dans des structures appelées magnétosphères; et (ii) les étoiles Be, rotateurs rapides qui présentent des disques circumstellaires épisodiques. Cette étude utilise la technique interférométrique pour étudier à la fois la photosphère et l'environnement circumstellaire de ces étoiles. L'objectif est de combiner l'interférométrie avec d'autres techniques d'observation (telles que la spectroscopie et la polarimétrie) pour effectuer une description physique complète et bien contraindre ces systèmes. Cette description est acquise par l'interprétation de l'ensemble des observations par des modèles de transfert radiatifOptical long baseline interferometry was recently established as a technique capable of resolving stars and their circumstellar environments at the milliarcsecond (mas) resolution level. This high-resolution opens an entire new window to the study of astrophysical systems, providing information inaccessible by other techniques. Astrophysical disks are observed in a wide variety of systems, from galaxies up to planetary rings, commonly sharing similar physical processes. Two particular disk like systems are studied in the thesis: (i) B He-rich stars that exhibits magnetic fields in order of kG and that trap their winds in structures called magnetospheres; and (ii) Be stars, fast rotating stars that create circumstellar viscous disks. This study uses the interferometric technique to investigate both the photosphere proper and the circumstellar environment of these stars. The objective is to combine interferometry with other observational techniques (such as spectroscopy and polarimetry) to perform a complete and well-constrained physical description of these systems.

Full textAbstract:
The Satanic self is the autonomous, linguistically constructed subject who cannot support itself but who rebels against any external support. According to Foucault, the autonomous subject should be reconsidered as a function of discourse. This anxiety over the autonomous and autonymous subject is not new, but has antecedents far back in literary history. Chaucer?s The Pardoner?s Tale, The Parson?s Tale, Milton?s Paradise Lost, and Beckett?s The Unnamable recapitulate the historical progress of the development and decline of the self-authoring subject, a progress of dislocation of significance from?in order?objects, language, and finally the subject itself. The first two writers show how to avert what Anthony Low calls the ?disastrous fall into nihilistic subjectivity,? while the third can present no such redemption. The withdrawl of meaning through profane kenosis is inextricably linked to the long, slow disappearance of God from Western European cultural consciousness. The rejection of God is the rejection of the traditional grounds of Western subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de ce travail est d'étudier l'effet thermoélectrique à l'échelle nanométrique des nanostructures chauffées. Dans un premier temps, nous étudions les mécanismes d'autopropulsion thermo-électrophorétique de particules Janus chauffées par laser. Ce mécanisme d'autopropulsion est principalement induit par l'effet Seebeck ou l'effet thermoélectrique. Cet effet provient de la séparation des charges survenues lorsqu'un gradient de température est présent dans la solution d'électrolyte: Une forte absorption du laser par la partie métallisée de la particule génère un gradient de température qui en retour agit sur les espèces ioniques (positive et négative) et les conduits vers les zones chaudes ou les zones froides. Ce mouvement d'ions entraine la création d'un champ électrique dipolaire qui, à proximité de la particule, dépend fortement des propriétés de surface. Ce changement de comportement de ce champ électrique sur une surface isolant ou conductrice n'affecte pas la vitesse de la particule. Dans un second temps, nous étudions les effets d'interactions hydrodynamiques et de la condensation des contre-ions sur la thermophorèse des polymères d'ADN. Comme résultat principal, la mobilité thermophorétique montre, en fonction de la longueur de la chaîne, un comportement non-monotone et se compose de deux contributions induites par les forces conductrices dominantes que sont l'effet Seebeck et le gradient de permittivité. À la fin, nous comparons notre résultat théorique avec une récente expérience sur l'ADNThe aim of this work is to study the nanoscale Seebeck effect at hot nanostructures. At first, we study the thermo-electrophoresis self-propulsion mechanism for a heated metal capped Janus colloid. The self-propulsion mechanism is mainly induced by the electrolyte Seebeck effect or thermoelectric effect. This effect takes its origin from the separation of charges occurring while a temperature gradient is present in a electrolyte solution: A strong absorption of laser light by the metal side of the particle creates a temperature gradient which in turn acts on ion-species (positive and negative) and drives them to the hot or the cold region. This motion of ion results in a dipolar electric field which, close to the particle, depends strongly on the surface properties. The change of behavior of the electric field at the insulating or conducting surface does not affect the velocity of the particle. At second, we study the effect of hydrodynamic interactions and counterion condensation in thermophoresis for DNA polymer. As the main result, the thermophoretic mobility shows, in function of the chain length, a non-monotonuous behavior and consists of two contributions induced by the dominant driving forces which are the thermally induced permittivity-gradient and the electrolyte Seebeck effect. At the end, we compare our theoretical result with recent experiment on single-stranded DNA

Full textAbstract:
L'assistance à Chaumont au XVIIIe est la préoccupation de nombreux habitants et communautés. Les secours prodigues laissent entrevoir l'étendue de la misère humaine : -pauvreté des pères de famille au chômage en raison des crises économiques. -maladies. -malheurs des enfants orphelins et exposes dont une forte proportion de décès dans leur première année de naissance. L'assistance se fait dans quatre directions : -un secours spirituel apporte par le chapelain de l'hôtel dieu lors de ses visites. -une aide médicale dispensée gratuitement par le personnel hospitalier : médecins, chirurgiens et soeurs de la charité. Lors de la grave épidémie de 1741 les médecins de la ville joignent leurs effets pour endiguer le mal. Des méthodes d'avant -garde sont expérimentées comme l‘ inoculation de la petite vérole. Dans la mesure du possible, par volonté royale, les praticiens luttent contre les tabous et diffusent leur savoir après avoir été eux-mêmes informes par des spécialistes. Ce fut le cas pour les sages-femmes. -une distribution de nourriture par la confrérie des dames de la charité qui choisit chaque semaine dix pauvres à secourir. Exceptionnellement, lors des graves crises frumentaires, la ville prend en charge l'approvisionnement des marches par l'intermédiaire d'un bureau de subsistance. -l'ouverture d'atelier de charité en 1770-1771 permet aux valides pendant la mauvaise saison de faire vivre leur famille. Cette aide par le travail pris en charge par l'état, est l'idée forte développée par les ministres à la fin du XVIIIe. Les révolutionnaires poursuivent l'oeuvre des bénévoles en préconisant la prise en charge par l'état de tous les indigents. Les institutions chaumontaises se prolongent : l'hôtel dieu devient l'hospice public, le bureau de charité se transforme en bureau de bienfaisance. Les enfants abandonnes sont reçus par l'assistance publique, et les cours de sages-femmes sont suivis par les filles de la campagnePoor relief in Chaumont in the 18th. Century was the concern of many of the inhabitants and religions communities. The relief provided gives of the extent of destitution at this time ; -the poverty of unemployed fathers of families, due to economic crises. -sickness. -destitution of orphan children and abandoned babies, of whom a great number died in the first year of their life. Relief was provided in four ways : -spiritual support, provided by the chaplain of the hotel dieu during his visits. -medical help, provided free of charge by hospitalers : doctors, surgeons and sisters of charity. During the serious epidemic of 1741, the doctors residing in the town united in their efforts to halt the spread of illness. The latest methods were employed and experimented, such as inoculation against small-pox. As much as possible, by royal decree, the practitioners struggled against tabous ans spread their learning abroad, after receiving instruction themselves by specialists. This was the cas for midwives. -distribution of food by the charitable ladies' guild, who chose ten poor people each week and gave them help. Exceptionally, during serious grain shortages, the town assumed responsibility for the suppying of the markets througt the intermediary of a subsistance office. -the foundation of a charity workhouse in 1770-1771 gave work to the ablebodied, to help to feed their families during the winter and early spring. This help, providing work under state financing, was an idea that was greatly devloped by ministers at the end of the 18th. Century. The revolutionaries continued the voluntary work while recommending state responsibility for all the destitute. The different institutions in Chaumont carried on : the hotel dieu became the public hospital, the charity office became the welfare board. Abandoned children were taken under the wings of the public assistance, and girls from the country districts went to midwifery classes

Nous ne sommes pas de simples temoins mais des auditeurs-spectateurs avertis grace aux informations fournies dans le general prolgue. Au fil du temps, des hommes et des femmes vont grace a leur conte se raconter a nous, se devoiler, s'attaquer et se critiquer mutuellement. La reaction des pelerins qui ecoutent est interessante. Le cas de deux d'entre eux merite une etude particuliere car ils jouent avec l'apparence et semblent incarner faux-semblant, figure quasi-immuable dans toute la litterature.

Notre auteur, grace au nom, cerne ses protagonistes. La caricature animaliere ou autre chez chaucer lui sert egalement a definir ses creations. Un detail physique significatif ou vestimentaire lui sert de revelateur pour ses personnages. . .Chaucer takes us with his tales in the company of his pilgrims to canterbury. Yet, thanks to the general prologue we form a well- informed and mature audience. We do not only witness facts and statements, we also read between the lines in order to understand and know chaucer's art of characterization. Thus we are wholly conscious that the pilgrims do not simply- relate tales but also talk about themselves and reveal their very personality. Some of them have even attacked each other. Others simply confessed their sins and obsessions. We have been particularly interested in the reaction of two pilgrims whose appearance is actually and totally different from their inner soul. They seem to embody the well-known and eternal figure of faux-semblant. We have also been deeply interested in the resources chaucer brought into play to achieve characterization. We have dedicated a whole chapter to "onomatomancie" which is the art of predicting and defining characters by the means of their names. We have dedicated another chapter to the study of caricature. In fact, every physical or dress detail functions as a sign revealing chaucer's literary figures'characteristics. Last but not least, we. .

Bourgne, Florence. "Écriture et philosophie dans le "Troilus" de Chaucer." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040227.
Full textAbstract:
Le Troilus de Chaucer fourmille d'allusions à la Consolatio de Boece, traduite simultanément. Sa réception insiste sur les qualités de traducteur de Chaucer, et le qualifie de philosophe. Ce qualificatif est replacé dans le contexte de la philosophie mediévale, au large champ d'application et à l'enseignement oral, favorisant l'instauration de figures d'autorité, dont les oeuvres sont commentées. Les gloses contenues dans les manuscrits du Troilus se répartissent en "titres courants", marques dialogiques, notation généalogiques et mythologiques, calquant les commentaires universitaires. L'influence de la consolation sur le Troilus est essentiellement structurelle, mais les insertions d'éléments boeciens constituent un mode de réécriture particulier, qui doit être examiné a la lumière des débats contemporains de Chaucer entre nominalistes et réalistes (Chaucer était lié d'amitié avec un ancien logicien oxonien). Cette intrusion de la philosophie dans l'écriture soumet la littérature à l'oralité, alors même qu'elle tente de s'en détacher. La technique de traduction dont Chaucer use dans Troilus et sa politique de néologismes l'incluent dans le mouvement de traduction dit Translatio Studii défendant le vernaculaire. Chaucer prétend traduire du latin et non du florentin : l'accent est mis la translatio, transfert spatial et chronologique du savoir. Chaucer, soucieux d'établir un corpus de ses oeuvres, s'inscrit dans la droite ligne de Dante ou Machaut. Cependant, le narrateur du Troilus se fait moinillon, et les références aux livres ne parviennent pas à degager l'écrit de sa dépendance envers l'oralitéChaucer's Troilus seethes with allusions to Boethius' Consolatio, translated simultaneously. Contemporaries praised Chaucer's qualities as a translator, and called him a philosopher. This must be set against the backdrop of medieval philosophy, its width and its oral teaching, which promotes figures of authorities whose works are commented upon. The glosses in the Troilus manuscripts are summary notes, dialogical marks or genealogical and mythological notations, inkeeping with school commentaries. Boece's influence on Troilus is mostly structural, yet the interpolating of boethian elements entails a new re-writing mode, to be examined in the light of the nominalist realist debates (Chaucer was friends with a former oxonian logician). This intrusion of philosophy in the realm of writing submits literature to orality, although literature is seeking its independence. The translating technique used by Chaucer in Troilus and his coining policy make him part and parcel of the Tanslatio Studii movement, which upholds vernaculary languages. Chaucer is eager to establish a canon of his works, as were Dante or Machaut. Yet, Troilus' narrator poses as a monk, and references to books are unable to counter orality's supremacy over literacy

Full textAbstract:
Though much has been made of Chaucer's saintly characters, relatively little has been made of Chaucer's approach to hagiography. While strictly speaking Chaucer produced only one true saint's life (the Second Nun's Tale), he was repeatedly intrigued and challenged by exemplary literature. The few studies of Chaucer's use of hagiography have tended to claim either his complete orthodoxy as hagiographer, or his outright parody of the genre. My study mediates the orthodoxy/parody split by viewing Chaucer as a serious, but self-conscious, hagiographer, one who experimented with the possibilities of exemplary narrative and explored the rhetorical tensions intrinsic to the genre, namely the tensions between transcendence and imminence, reverence and identification, and epideictic deliberative discourse.

Full textAbstract:
This paper, on the identities shown in one of the cameos in Empress Josephine’s pearl and cameo diadem, has first of all focused on the mythological characters, and thereafter raised the question if these are to be seen as an allegory for people from the time. The process of identi-fication has followed the three levels in Panofsky’s method for analysing art, where the first and second levels consist of already known material from the Bernadotte Library, Royal Palace in Stockholm and the jeweller house of Chaumet (former Nitot et Fils) in Paris. To decipher both the mythological individuals and the possible allegories, that is the third level, the iconology itself, the thoughts and methods of Göran Hermerén on the rise and fall of allegories along with Leora Auslander’s solutions using visuals comparisons, when no written material is available, have provided the academic framework for the study. When comparing the cameo with pieces of art from the time, the subject fits the description of the Roman mythology’s love goddess Venus and her son Cupid, the lovechild fathered by Mars. Moving on to allegories, well-known material shows that Emperor Napoleon was keen to be portrayed as the god of war Mars and Empress Josephine as Venus. A portrait of special interest to the study, a rather private painting by Parent from 1807, which is probably still unknown to most people, shows how Josephine is depicted with a recently deceased grandchild, a young boy how was also the nephew of Napoleon’s, a close relative to them both, and in the line of succession to the throne, while Napoleon still was Emperor. This picture has an expression which is close to the one of Venus and Cupid, and it is also made to look like a cameo. These portraits were known at the time when Napoleon gave the diadem to Josephine in 1809. Among portraits from the Napoleonic era, there has earlier only been one known painting, even if in two examples, where the diadem is shown. It is a miniature of Empress Josephine, a work from her final period at Malmaison, 1814. However, another miniature picturing the daughter Hortense in the very same piece of jewellery, from 1812, has now become known. In both these examples, the depicted cameo has a hight measuring only millimetres, why a discussion on the execution and the rendering has to be done with restraint. But in the daughter´s portrait there is a certain attempt to show the outlines of the central cameo that differs from the later painting of the Empress. This may be an indication of how much more important it was for the daughter to relay the picture of her mother and the memory of her son, in 1812, than it was for Josephine in 1814, after the divorce, probably after the fall of Napoleon too, when she was no longer his Venus, and there was no longer a throne for any of her grandsons to inherit. Therefore, in short, the chosen methods give the answer that the mythology depicted is a scene of Venus and her son Cupid, and the allegorical interpretation of Venus is the Empress herself. The child in shape of Cupid here, may well be read as one of her daughter’s sons, at the time a much longed-for heir to the throne of Napoleon I.

Cette thèse CIFRE a pour objet d'explorer, de développer et d'exploiter le potentiel des outils de représentation et de modélisation 3D dans l'étude géomorphologique du karst dont la structure géométrique est intrinséquement en trois dimensions. Ce travail a pour support d'étude les gorges de l'Ardèche dont l'évolution géomorphologique et paléogéographique, tant aux temps géologiques qu'aux temps des hommes, est extrêmement riche. Ce territoire propose en outre des défis scientifiques mais aussi sociétaux depuis la découverte de la désormais célèbre grotte Chauvet et la mise en place de l'ERGC (Espace de Restitution de la Grotte Chauvet). C'est dans ce cadre qu'une méthodologie de recherche appliqué au domaine souterrain a été élaborée et appliquée à l'étude de la grotte Chauvet et des cavités des gorges de l'Ardèche pour (i) l'étude de la spéléogenèse et de la karstogenèse, (ii) l'évolution géomorphologique d'une grotte ornée (grotte Chauvet) et (iii) la réalisation d'un projet culturel : l'ERGC. La première partie (chapitre 1, 2 et 3) présente les verrous actuels en géomorphologie karstique, la méthodologie de recherche développée et les apports de la connaissance géomorphologique de la grotte Chauvet et de l'utilisation de modèles 3D dans la construction d'un fac-similé de grande envergure. La deuxième partie (chapitre 4, 5 et 6) présente les problématiques et les résultats de l'étude géomorphologique 3D des gorges de l'Ardèche et des cavités environnantes. Les principaux apports se situent dans la connaissance des formes élémentaires du karst et la géométrie des réseaux karstiques. Ceci a permis d'élaborer un scénario global d'évolution paléogéographique de ce secteur depuis le Néogène jusqu'à l'Actuel. Enfin la troisième partie (chapitre 7, 8 et 9) aborde les problématiques d'étude et de recherches spécifiques des grottes ornées et de leur fermeture. La grotte Chauvet et sa zone d'entrée font l'objet d'une analyse détaillée permettant de répondre aux questionnements pluridisciplinaires (archéologie, préhistoire, conservation, valorisation ...). L'approche géomorphologique 3D développée pour répondre aux différentes problématiques des sciences de la Nature et des Hommes est ici posée et discutée.

Control is at the heart of issues surrounding the use of a digital artefact. In one sense, digitisation democratises knowledge; it makes that knowledge freely available to a large audience irrespective of who the audience member is, their education or place in the social hierarchy. In spite of this perceived egalitarianism, there are still limits in place; the material contained within those digital artefacts is still, for the large part, unintelligible to the layman, and the information imparted still chosen by an elite. This thesis attempts to explore several different concepts: the idea of cultural capital as suggested by Bourdieu, and whether the digitisation of cultural artefacts reinforces the cultural divide or emancipates knowledge; the Derridean notion of the archivist as both prison warden and creator of cultural value, with the manuscript captured in a form of house arrest: and considers Baudrillard’s concept of the simulacrum and applies it to the digital artefact, questioning whether digitisation erodes our understanding of the real to such an extent that we destroy it. All this is done through the framework of digitisation of the Hengwrt Chaucer, MS Peniarth 392D, possibly the oldest extant version of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, held at Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, the National Library of Wales, in Aberystwyth, and discussions surrounding the use of social media to enhance the Library’s exhibition of their cultural artefacts. Ultimately, I hope to establish whether the digital has the potential to undermine the system, to truly emancipate knowledge from its theoretical and cultural restraints. To do this I will be examining the physical Hengwrt (MS Peniarth 392D) as well as its digital counterpart. I have chosen to identify and include comment upon the relevant literature in Chapters 1 and 2 of this thesis, and to incorporate it into the body of the work rather than having the review as a defined element of the thesis. I have done this because the synthesis of primary, secondary and tertiary literature I have employed covers a broad area and, where it has been collated for the purposes of other studies and research (in the case of Bourdieu, for example, his work consisted of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to represent his discussion of habitus and cultural capita) I can present an overview of mixed sets of data over several different fields of research (Chaucerian research, for example, in juxtaposition with Bourdieuian theories of cultural capital and Baudrillard’s conception of the death of the real). Furthermore, I felt it was important to include a wide range of secondary literature in a range of fields as this represents a key element in data gathering and, in the case of a field such as cultural value, allows for the fact that my primary evidence might not be deemed adequately weighty to support the weight of my conjecture.

Full textAbstract:
When an author produces a frame narrative, she simultaneously makes language both a represented object and a representing agent; when we imagine framed speech, we imagine both the scene its words represent and a mouth that speaks those words. Framed language is thus perfectly mimetic: the words we imagine being spoken within the fictional world are the same we use to effect that fiction's representation. Since its first function is to represent itself, the framed word acts both to push us out of the frame into our own temporality and to draw us into fictional times and spaces. This dissertation explores how first Dante and subsequently his successors, Boccaccio and Chaucer, deploy this structural feature of frames to engage difficult philosophical and theological disputes of their age. In the Divine Comedy, framed language allows Dante to approach the perfect presence of God without transgressing into a spatial conception of the divine. Intensifying Dante's procedure in his House of Fame, Chaucer forecloses the possibility of representation; he transforms every speech act into an image of its utterer rather than its referent, thus violently thrusting us back into the time we pass as we read. Boccaccio--first in his Ameto then in the Decameron--eschews this framed temporality in favor of the temporality of the fetish: while his narratives threaten to dissolve into their basic linguistic matters, the erotic energy of the people that populate those narratives forces them to cohere as fully imagined spaces and times. Finally the Chaucer who writes the Canterbury Tales fuses his initial reading of Dante with Boccaccio's response to it; he constructs the Canterbury pilgrims as grotesques who each open up a limited angle of vision on the time and space they collectively inhabit. These angles overlap and stutter over one another, unsettling the easy assignations of identity any given pilgrim would enforce on a tale or agent within the narrative. In doing so, Chaucer makes the temporality within his Tales strange and poignant in a way that fully mimics our own experience of extra-narrative time.

With about 130 species, bats account for one third of mammal diversity in Indochina. However, the taxonomic status and distribution of bats within the region is still being gathered. In particular, little is known on the influences of climatic changes during the Plio-Pleistocene. In this study, bats from different parts of Indochina and several adjacent areas in Southeast Asia were collected from field surveys and museum’s collections. Most recorded specimens were sequenced for the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The sequences were then compared with those available in nucleotide databases in order to check our morphological identifications and to allow a preliminary assessment of phylogenetic and phylogeographic relationships. Our analyses of COI sequences have revealed that many species contain divergent lineages, whereas some others were found to be para- or polyphyletic. The results may be interpreted, alternatively, as taxonomic issues (cryptic species, synonymy and misidentification), or as human errors (DNA contamination and pseudogenes), or as particular genetic processes (mtDNA introgression, incomplete lineage sorting and female philopatry). To resolve these issues on three unrelated taxa, for which cryptic species diversity was assumed, i. E. , Murina (tube-nosed bats), Kerivoula (woolly bats) and Tylonycteris (bamboo bats), we performed additional morphological examinations and/or multiple-locus analyses. Most relationships revealed by mtDNA markers were confirmed by the nuDNA analyses, which allowed us to provide strong taxonomic or phylogeographic conclusions. However, we also detected a few discordances between independent molecular markers, indicative of particular biological processes, such interspecific hybridization and female philopatry associated to male-biased dispersal. Our molecular estimates of divergence times supported the fact that many speciation events have occurred during the Plio-Pleistocene, as a consequence of climatic and vegetation changes. We suggest that, during glacial periods, the populations of forest bats were isolated in distant forest refugia across Southeast Asia, e. G. , Sundaland, southern and northern Indochina, and that these successive periods of isolation have resulted in allopatric speciation.

Full textAbstract:
The late Middles Ages saw the development in Europe of increasingly complex, ambitious, and self-conscious forms of creative literature. In the works of poets such as Dante, Petrarch and Chaucer new models of authorship and poetic identity were being explored, new kinds of philosophical and aesthetic value attributed to literary discourse. But these creative developments also brought with them new dangers and tensions, a sense of guilt and uncertainty about the value of creative literature, especially in relation to the dominant religious values of late medieval culture. In this thesis I explore how these doubts and tensions find expression in Chaucer’s poetry, not only as a negative, constraining influence, but also as something which contributes to the shape and meaning of poetry itself. I argue that as Chaucer develops his own expansive, questioning poetics in The House of Fame and The Canterbury Tales, he problematises the principle of allegory on which the legitimacy of literary discourse was primarily based in medieval culture and the final fragments of The Canterbury Tales see Chaucer struggling, increasingly, to reconcile the boldness and independence of his poetic vision with the demands of his faith. This struggle, which emerges most strongly and polemically in the final fragments, I argue, runs in subtle and creative forms throughout the whole of Chaucer’s work. By seeing Chaucer in this light as a poet not of fixed, but of conflicted and vacillating intentions – a poet productively caught drawn between ‘game’ and ‘earnest’, radical ironies and Boethian truths – I attempt to account, in a holistic manner, for the major dichotomies that characterise both his work and its critical reception.

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le vaste champ de l’Anthropologie des vins "nature", la réhabilitation du sensiblepar Christelle Pineaue. Elle vise spécifiquement les domaines des techniques et des savoirs, ainsi que celui du sensoriel, (l’analyse croisée de ces deux univers permettant de saisir les systèmes de représentation sous les angles à la fois pragmatique et perceptif.). Un courant émergeant prend place dans le paysage vitivinicole - en France notamment : celui de professionnels s’engageant dans la production et la diffusion de vins biologiques, biodynamiques, naturels (certains ayant réalisé leur révolution « culturale », d’autres ayant bifurqué professionnellement). Dans ces trois démarches, différents degrés d’investissement existent, et les pratiques peuvent s’interpénétrer, conduisant à un corpus d’actions et de références syncrétiques, d’où la difficulté, pour les non-initiés, à définir ces vins dits « libres » et hors norme. Néanmoins tous ces vignerons conservent une base de rhétorique commune, fondée sur le mythe du retour à la « nature » (plus exactement à un milieu au sein duquel tous les êtres vivants sont en interrelation), au nom d’une certaine moralité à son égard. Les questions de santé publique et de préservation de la pluralité des saveurs et des cépages les animent tout autant. Ils entendent mettre au jour des produits « nus » et limitent leurs actions directes sur la nature (action indirecte négative, Haudricourt - 1962), à l’heure de l’Anthropocène (Bonneuil-Fressoz - 2013). Les intrants chimiques de synthèse, alliés objectifs de la majorité des producteurs de vin aujourd’hui dans le monde, ont chez les "natures", le statut d’ennemi. Aux vins "conventionnels" corsetés par la technique et une certaine idée du progrès, s’opposent des vins qualifiés de vivants, difficiles à apprivoiser. La description de la praxis basée sur des savoir-faire anciens met en lumière un réseau à la fois homogène et hétéroclite, dans lequel chacun travaille sa propre voie. Dans le même temps, ces vignerons adoptent une posture de chercheur, au travers d’expérimentations qui peuvent emprunter à des modèles de pensée en apparence opposés, auprès de Rudolf Steiner (fondateur de l’anthroposophie et de la biodynamie) aussi bien que de Jules Chauvet (auteur de travaux scientifiques en chimie et microbiologie), deux figures tutélaires. Ce désir de dialogue avec le milieu se comprend comme une demande de sens dans un univers de vivants privés de sensibilité après que l’ère cartésienne a pris l’avantage dans les différentes façons de se représenter le monde. La vision naturaliste qui marque nos sociétés (Descola - 2005) induit une scission entre le moi et la « nature », elle a de fait contribué à repousser les rôles et les frontières du sensible. Le sujet moderne a ainsi été coupé de son milieu (Berque - 2000, 2010). Ces vignerons tentent de remédier à cette situation par le biais d’un dialogue ininterrompu entre les deux pôles, intelligible et sensibleThis research belongs to the vast field of the anthropology of nature. It specifically targets techniques and knowledge, as well as sensory perception. The joint analysis of these spheres enables an understanding of the ways they are represented both from a practical and perceptional angle. A new movement is establishing itself in the field of wine production, in particular in France, as producers move towards the production and distribution of organic, biodynamic and natural wines, either as a result of a ‘cultural’ revolution or professional reconversion. These three approaches are applied to varying degrees and may be used in conjunction with one another, resulting in a syncretic body of reference and actions, which makes it difficult for non-specialists to define these wines, described as ‘free’ and unconventional. Nevertheless, these wine producers all refer to their approach in the same way, based on the idea of a return to ‘nature’, (that is to say, an environment in which all living beings are interconnected) and a particular form of moral respect for that nature. They are equally inspired by public health issues and a concern for the preservation of a diversity of flavours and grape varieties. They aim to highlight the use of ‘raw’ produce and restrict direct action on the natural environment (action indirecte negative, Haudricourt – 1962) in the Anthropocene era (Bonneuil-Fressoz – 2013). Synthetic chemical inputs, the logical allies of the majority of wine producers, are perceived as enemies by the ‘naturals’. ‘Conventional’ wines, restricted by technique and a certain idea of progress, contrast with wines described as alive and difficult to control. The description of usage based on traditional skills reveals both a collective and composite network within which all tread their own path. Simultaneously, these wine producers assume the role of researchers, through experimentation with ways of thinking which may seem contradictory, inspired by figureheads Rudolf Steiner (the founder of anthroposophy and biodynamic agriculture) and Jules Chauvet (the author of scientific works on chemistry and microbiology). This desire to communicate with the “natural” world may be interpreted as a search for meaning in a world of sentient beings deprived of their sensitivity since the Cartesian age came to dominate the ways in which the world is represented. The naturalist vision which characterizes our societies (Descola – 2005) creates a divide between the self and ‘nature’ and, in doing so, pushes back the boundaries of sensitivity. The modern subject has thus been disconnected from the milieu (Berque – 1987, 2010). These wine producers seek to resolve this situation through a constant dialogue between the two opposites, the intellectual and the sensible

Les monts du forez, petit massif granitique du massif central culminant a 1640m, ont ete touches par la crise pastorale comme beaucoup d'autres regions de la montagne francaise. La presence de cette montagne de proximite a permis le maintien d'une agriculture restee tres traditionnelle jusque vers 1960. La fabrication fromagere de "fourme" a ete pendant des siecles la base de cette vie pastorale et l'intensification laitiere avec la mise en place du ramassage laitier a provoque une crise de cette economie. Consideree comme terminee par de nombreux auteurs, il reste pourtant aujourd' hui 42 agriculteurs qui passent l'ete sur la montagne et qui habitent une maison appelee "jasserie", modele reduit de l'exploitation principale. L'utilisation a regresse dans les annees 1960-1970 mais sous l'influence des groupements mis en place vers 1960, on assiste grace a la generalisation des clotures, a une remise en valeur de cette surface. Aujourd'hui, genisses et brebis paturent environ 5000 ha et cette nouvelle forme d'utilisation cotoie les irreductibles traditionnalistes encore presents. Mais un palier semble aujourd'hui atteint dans l'utilisation et pour valoriser le territoire inutilise suite a la deprise, des initiatives nouvelles apparaissent : tourisme, ski, gites rurauxThe monts du forez, a small granitic massif in the massif central, at a maximum height of 1640m. ,have suffered from a crisis about sheperds and flocks like many other hilly regions in france. These hills being very close, it has enabled to keep a type of farming which remanied traditionalup to 1960. Theese making with the "fourme", was the bases of this agricultural life for centuries and dairy intensifying witch milk collecting organisation has caused a crisis. Being considered as over by many authors, however 42 farmers are left today : they spend the summer in the hills and live in a house called, a "jasserie", a scale model of the main farm. The use decreased in the years 1960-1970, but with the influence of the farmers'associations born by 1960, one can see an improvement of this area thanks to the general setting of fences. Today, heifers and sheep graze about 5,000 hectares and this new kind of use mingles witch relentlers traditionalists who are still present. But today, a level seems to be reached in the use and to improve the unused areas following the living away. New initiatives loom: tourism, ski, rural inns

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Frederick G. LawrenceThis dissertation offers a critical response to the fundamental sacramental theology of Louis-Marie Chauvet drawing on the works of Bernard Lonergan. Chauvet has articulated a significant critique of the western theological tradition's use of metaphysics, especially in interpreting doctrines relating to the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, liturgical sacrifice, and sacramental causality. Chauvet's criticisms raise questions about what philosophical tools allow theologians to develop a fruitful analogical understanding of the mysteries communicated in the sacraments. This dissertation responds to Chauvet's challenge to theology to adopt a new foundation in the symbolic by turning to the derived, critical metaphysics of Bernard Lonergan. The dissertation argues that Lonergan's critical metaphysics can help theologians to develop fruitful understandings of doctrines relating to Eucharistic presence, liturgical sacrifice, and sacramental causality. In addition Lonergan's categories of meaning offer resources for interpreting sacramental doctrines on the level of the time, while maintaining the genuine achievements of the past. Chapter one presents a survey of some recent Catholic Eucharistic theologies in order to provide a context for our investigation. Here we identify existentialist-phenomenological, postmodern, and neo-traditionalist approaches to Eucharistic doctrines. Chapters two, three, and four present a dialectical comparison of Chauvet and Lonergan on metaphysics as it pertains to Eucharistic theology specifically. Chapter two examines Chauvet's postmodern critique of metaphysical foundations of scholastic Eucharistic theology. Our particular concern will be with Chauvet's methods, especially whether his appropriation of the Heideggerian critique of scholastic theology offers an accurate account of Thomas Aquinas, and whether it offers a fruitful way forward in Eucharistic theology. Chapter three explores Lonergan's foundations for metaphysics in cognitional theory and epistemology. Lonergan's critical groundwork in cognitional theory attends to the problems of bias and the polymorphism of human consciousness that lead to a heuristic metaphysics rather than a tidy conceptual system. Chapter four explicates Lonergan's heuristic metaphysics and articulates the elements of metaphysics that enable an understanding of the general category of causality in critical realist metaphysics. Chapter five explores Lonergan's foundations for theological reflection paying particular attention to the importance of intellectual conversion before going on to survey Lonergan's categories of meaning. Chapter six engages the task of systematic theology and proposes an understanding of Eucharistic doctrines grounded in Lonergan's critical realist philosophy and transposed into categories of meaning

Full textAbstract:
Nombre d'orogènes anciens, impliquant la convergence de lithosphères juvéniles, présentent des caractéristiques difficiles à interpréter en terme de tectonique compressive entre des plaques résistantes, en particulier: (1) un métamorphisme homogène de HT-BP, (2) la juxtaposition limitée d'unités avec un métamorphisme contrasté, (3) des domaines marqués par des foliations peu pentées et des linéations d'étirement à fort angle de la direction de convergence, (4) des zones de cisaillement sub-verticales transpressives avec un étirement très plongeant. Une étude de terrain dans deux orogènes Paléoprotérozoïques (Finlande), combinée avec des modèles analogiques montrent que la compression de lithosphères molles favorise un épaississement homogène, du fluage latéral et un étalement gravitaire. La délocalisation de la déformation pendant le raccourcissement est cohérente avec l'existence de reliefs distribués ainsi que l'exhumation des roches de haut-grade contrôlée par l'érosion.
