Abstract:

Entrer dans les poèmes par le concept de voix, c’est s’engager dans une poétique de l’écoute au plus près des corps : corps écrivant, oralisant, performant, traduisant, corps du lecteur, du spectateur. Dès lors qu’on entreprend de déconstruire la métaphore de la voix et d’en observer les modalités de passage, on révèle les liens décisifs qui existent entre le langage comme force physique et la poétique comme éthique et politique. Le concept de passage de voix produit des leviers critiques qui impliquent d’autres déconstructions, rebattant les cartes de nombreux dualismes qui empêchent le plus souvent d’apercevoir l’activité relationnelle du langage, au premier rang desquels l’opposition entre oral et écrit. Envisager les voix non telles des signatures, comme le font souvent la stylistique ou l’histoire littéraire, mais comme des processus, c’est écouter des rythmes de subjectivations dont l’énergie se déploie depuis la vie énonciative du langage, avec leur valeur transformatrice voire émancipatrice. Cela implique des découvertes sur notre conception des lieux et de la temporalité, non comme des catégories thématiques ou ontologiques mais anthropologiques. Questionnant des textes théoriques ayant à cœur d’explorer les enjeux conceptuels de la voix, du rythme, du sujet (Meschonnic, Martin, Rabaté, Dessons, Bernadet), et en s’appuyant sur un corpus principal composé des œuvres protéiformes des poètes français contemporains Stéphane Bouquet, Christophe Manon et Frank Smith (textes, performances, vidéos), la thèse explore trois grandes modalités des passages de voix, en définit les enjeux et les effets : mouvements de diffraction, de spatialisation, de présentation
To enter poems through the concept of voice is to engage in a poetics of listening intently to bodies: the bodies which write, speak aloud, perform and translate, as well as the bodies of the reader and the spectator. When we undertake to deconstruct the metaphor of the voice and observe its forms of passage, we discover the decisive links that exist between language as a physical force and poetics as ethics and politics. The concept of the passage of voice gives rise to critical levers which involve other deconstructions, thereby changing the way we think about many dualisms. These latter usually prevent us from perceiving the relational activity of language, foremost among which is the opposition between oral and written language. To consider voices not as signatures – as stylistics or literary history often do – but as processes is to listen to the rhythms of subjectivations whose energy unfolds from the enunciative life of language, with their transformative or even emancipatory value. This implies discoveries about our conception of places and temporality, not as thematic or ontological categories, but as anthropological ones.This thesis explores three main forms of voice passages and sets out their issues and effects: movements of diffraction, spatialisation and presentation. To do so, it questions theoretical texts which focus on investigating the conceptual issues of voice, rhythm and subject (Meschonnic, Martin, Rabaté, Dessons, Bernadet), based on a main corpus (in the form of texts, performances and videos) made up of the protean works of the contemporary French poets Stéphane Bouquet, Christophe Manon and Frank Smith

Film noir has returned as a commercially attractive genre in the last ten years following the success of Pulp Fiction. This thesis discusses the differences of style and content and reasons for these differences between the present incarnation of film noir and its predecessors. As a director whose three feature films to date all contain noir elements, the work of Christopher Nolan is contextualized with that of his contemporaries while the purpose of his expression of these elements is also considered.
O Film Noir regressou como género comercialmente atraente nos últimos dez anos e na sequência do sucesso de Pulp Fiction. Nesta tese tentamos analisar as diferenças de estilo e de conteúdo, e as razões para estas diferenças entre a incarnação actual do Film Noir e a dos seus antecessores. Enquanto realizador cujos filmes até hoje apresentados contêm elementos de Film Noir, a obra de Christopher Nolan é contextualizada com a dos seus contemporâneos, ao mesmo tempo que se analisa igualmente o objectivo da expressão destes elementos.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Alan Rogers
The following narrative traces the political lives of James Sullivan, Christopher Gore, Rufus King and John Quincy Adams, four Massachusetts men who were actively involved in the creation of state and national policy during the formative years of the new republic. Their years of public service bridged the critical period between the Revolution and the period of Democratic- Republican dominance. Because they knew each other so well, corresponded with one another on a regular basis, and held so many different state and national government posts, their lives provide an ideal vehicle to explore and better understand the changes that were taking place in post-Revolutionary Massachusetts. Their stories help trace the evolution of Massachusetts from a Federalist stronghold into a legitimate multi-party state firmly committed to the national union. The primary figure in this study is Sullivan, the oldest of the four men, who was the state's highest ranking Republican leader during much of the Federalist Era. A staunch opponent of the Federalist assumption that government should be in the hands of the natural gentry and ruling class, he spent his adult life promoting equal access to power. After serving as a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress from 1774 to 1776, Sullivan was an active participant in the creation of the new state government. He later served as attorney general for seventeen years, from 1790 to 1807, through several Federalist administrations and served as a member of state legislature for many years. He also was a member of the Supreme Judicial Court and, in the final years of his life, governor of the Commonwealth. Because he participated in or observed firsthand the most significant political events of his day, his words also help trace, as few others could, the gradual transformation of Massachusetts from a one party state to a multi-party state. His election as governor in 1807 was clear evidence of the growing strength of the Republican Party in Massachusetts and of the extent to which the emerging national consensus had grown. Christopher Gore, whose stature and perspective were more deeply rooted in the colonial past, stood in stark personal as well as political contrast to Sullivan. As a conservative Federalist who often served as spokesman for his party during this period, Gore was a major player in the Massachusetts legal community and government between the American Revolution and early years of the nineteenth century. He stubbornly adhered to the aristocratic belief that the government should only be managed by the propertied class and traditional ruling elite. Where Sullivan was a sentimental moralist who hated everything British, Gore was the stern and unyielding spokesman for the merchant class who seemingly admired everything British. Where Sullivan's father had emigrated from Ireland, the victim of oppressive Penal Laws, Gore's father was a Tory, who fled Boston with the British in March 1776. Though Gore himself supported the Revolution, he was never able to shed, or indeed temper, his attachment to Great Britain in later years. As perhaps the most passionate defender of everything British in the years after the Revolution, Gore's habits and customs reflected the old deferential order and embodied everything Sullivan opposed. Despite their personal and political differences, Sullivan and Gore shared a close personal friend. Rufus King was a longtime confidant of both men, corresponding with each of them over many years. Though King's habits and background were more similar to those of Gore than Sullivan, he was less rooted in the colonial past than his conservative friend. Though an ardent Federalist, he was respected by men on both sides of the political aisle and served not only as a bridge between the two parties, but as a bridge between the two branches of his own party. It is because he enjoyed such a close personal relationship with Sullivan and Gore, and corresponded with both men on a regular basis, that King provides a unique vehicle to explore the differences between the two parties during this critical period in Massachusetts political history. The fourth subject of this study is John Quincy Adams. The fiercely independent one-time Federalist, who, though born many years after Gore, King, and Sullivan, became active in politics at a very young age and crossed political paths with all three men on a regular basis. Although born a member of the second generation of political leaders, Quincy Adams identified with the first generation of Revolutionary leaders. He matured early and took part in every critical debate that took place after the ratification of the Constitution. From the beginning, Quincy Adams charted an independent course and played a critical role in the growth of the Republican Party. John Quincy Adams is particularly relevant to this study because his political transformation reflected the change in attitude that was taking place in Massachusetts and the country in the early years of the nineteenth century. He represented a commitment to the interests of union over sectional concerns. A strong and independent unionist throughout his life, Quincy Adams eventually came to represent a new global nationalism. In many respects, Quincy Adams was the `transition man' in post- Revolutionary America. The son of a colonial who was very much a product of the deferential society of the eighteenth century, young Adams came to embrace the principle of majority rule. His elevation to the highest political posts in the country marked the final stage in America's transition from colony to union to nation. James Sullivan, Christopher Gore and Rufus King each played significant roles in the establishment of constitutional government in Massachusetts and in the United States. Though he was considered a member of the so-called Hancock faction, a group viewed as primarily anti-Constitutionalist, Sullivan was an independent thinker. He would call for greater legal safeguards for the benefit of the more vulnerable and for the end of the practice of multiple office holding which had long been a tool of the ruling elite to maintain power and influence. A vocal proponent of the national government before King, Gore and Hancock, Sullivan had long recognized the importance of strengthening the central government. His embrace of participatory government and of law aimed at protecting all classes of people naturally appealed to a wider audience would continue to contribute to the democratization of Massachusetts politics. With a new national government in place and a new political era begun, Sullivan, King, Gore, and soon Quincy Adams, were uniquely positioned to play significant, if competing, roles in the coming struggle. This narrative differs from other secondary works on post-colonial Massachusetts in several respects. Firstly, the significant role played by Sullivan in the growth of Republicanism in Massachusetts has been largely overlooked by historians. His persistent calls for equal access to power stood in stark contrast to the views of the Federalists who dominated Massachusetts government in the years after the American Revolution. His active participation in regional politics both during and after the Revolution helped the people of Massachusetts in their transition from colony to state. Furthermore, he was one of the first Massachusetts political leaders to insist on placing the new central government on a sound financial footing. Indeed, his call for a strengthened and sufficiently financed national government predated the efforts of Massachusetts Federalists, including King and Gore. He was, I contend, one of the first political leaders of either party to be considered a true `nationalist.' While Quincy Adams' support for Jefferson's Embargo and his conversion to Republicanism have been well documented, this work explores the link between Sullivan and Quincy Adams, and details the critically important role they played in the national debate over how to respond to British aggression towards American shipping and American sailors. Though Gordon Wood and other historians point to the Embargo as the single biggest failure of Jefferson and his Republican supporters, I contend the opposite is true. The Embargo highlighted the central difference between the two parties, and though it provided Federalists with a temporary victory, it also sowed the seeds of their defeat. The Embargo enabled men like Sullivan and Quincy Adams to clarify one of the central issues of the post-Revolutionary period, ... national honor. Though Paul Goodman correctly points out that Republicanism tapped into the growing sense of nationalism in the country, I carry the discussion further and detail the growing disconnect between the Federalist Party and the American people. Quincy Adams, in particular, articulated the need to announce to the world that the United States would not submit to foreign aggression. Furthermore, his call for a stronger and expanded union, even if it meant a loss of power and prestige for Massachusetts, would soon strike a chord with a growing majority of Americans. Quincy Adams personified the shift in the national mood and represented a new national perspective. When John Quincy Adams left the Federalist Party, many Americans left with him

Abstract:

Christopher Dawson (1889-1970) was a British historian of culture and a pioneer during the 1920s in linking history with the social sciences. Much existent writing on him today simply tries to summarize his views on the historical process or on specific time-periods. There is a fundamental lack of real historical perspective on Dawson, linking him to his own intellectual environment. This thesis attempts to remedy that lack. It demonstrates that the most important years in which to understand Dawson’s development were roughly those of the interwar period (1918-1939). During those years he wrote scholarly books as well as social and political commentaries. This thesis uses Dawson’s life and writings as a window into his world—hence it is a “study in British intellectual history between the world wars.” A number of contexts will be examined through relevant archival and published source material: textual, social, cultural, and biographical, all in order to account for the numerous ideas and events that raised questions in Dawson’s mind to which he then responded in his writings. Chapter one studies Dawson’s reputation from the interwar years up until today in order to highlight his broad visibility, the diverse images through which his work was viewed, and the central themes he engaged with and which are the subjects of the following chapters. Those themes are: (1) Dawson’s entry into British sociology during the 1920s; (2) his response to the question of human progress in Britain after the Great War; (3) his response to historiographical problems surrounding religious history, nationalism, and empiricism; (4) the various ideas of religion present in interwar Britain and the wider Western world by which Dawson informed his thinking not only about religion but also about (5) those “political religions” (as he saw them) taking shape in the totalitarian regimes during the interwar years. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to general knowledge of interwar British history, aid more historically sensitive readings of Dawson’s work today, and reveal something of Dawson’s “cultural mind”: the fundamental interdisciplinary and catholic ways of historical thinking by which he viewed the past and the present and which were his most important contributions to the discipline of history.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines how the concept of an auteur (author of a film) has developed within contemporary Hollywood and popular culture. Building on concepts from Timothy Corrigan, this thesis adapts the ideas of the author and the commercial auteur to examine how director Christopher Nolan's name, and film work, has become branded as "realist" by the Hollywood film industry and by Nolan's consistent self-promotion. Through recurring signatures of "realism," such as, cinematic realism (immersive filmic techniques), technical realism (practical effects and actual locations), subjective realism (spectator access to a character's point of view), psychological realism (relatable motivations) and scientific realism (factual science), Nolan's work has become a recognizable and commoditized brand. Like many modern-day auteurs, Nolan himself has been used as a commodity to generate interest to his working methods and to appeal audiences to his studio films. Analyzing each of Christopher Nolan's films along with the industrial and cultural factors surrounding them, a method for understanding contemporary auteurism in Hollywood is presented. Through a consideration of extra-textual components, including promotional featurette's and journalistic interviews with Nolan, as well as his film crew, this thesis will explore how Nolan might be considered a template for a future of auteur branding.

Abstract:

What follows is an intellectual biography of the English Catholic historian Christopher Henry Dawson (1889-1970). If there is one overarching thesis to this dissertation, it is that Dawson's place within the history of Britain and the United States and within the historical academy in general has been hitherto underappreciated as a result of unfair categorization of his work by critics, and equally unhelpful credulous assessments imd subsequent politicization of his scholarship by overzealous admirers. Even though his perspectives will probably never be completely embraced by the historical academy due to current trends in historiography, it is hoped that this dissertation will demonstrate that Dawson’s scholarship is deserving of study because of the breadth of his intellectual and practical activity in Britain during the twentieth century, and his groundbreaking role in identifying the importance of culture and religious belief to historiography. The introduction includes a review of the most important secondary literature about Dawson that will be used throughout the work. The main text of the dissertation develops chronologically, and is in eight parts, each part representing a distinct phase of Dawson's life. Part Chie (1889-1914) examines the formative years of his childhood, his education, his conversion to the Roman Catholic Church, and how his experiences formed the basis for his opinions about history, religion, and world around him. Part Two (1915-1929) explores the schools of thought that shaped Dawson’s ideas as a young scholar, and the ideas expressed in his first two books. Part Three (1930-1934) represents the most active time of Dawson's career, and the period during which he became a widely read Catholic intellectual and historian of Europe. Part Four (1935-1939) examines Dawson's commentaries on European political movements during the 1930ร. Part Five (1940-1945) discusses Dawson's role as the vice-president of die wartime ecumenical movement 'The Sword of the Spirit', as well as his book written at the height of the Movement's success. Part Six (1946-1952) covers Dawson's ideas from his Gifford Lectures, and his interest in American Catholicism. Part Seven (1953-1962) covers Dawson's vision for American Catholics and education, and his position at Harvard University, which he held from 1958 until a series of strokes forced him to retire, and return to England in 1962. Part Eight (1963-1970) briefly discussed the events of the last years of his life. The conclusion serves as a summary of his contribution and legacy as a major twentieth-century intellectual.

Abstract:

Selon le philosophe Paul Ricœur, tant à la fin de "Temps et Récit III" que dans "La Mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli", la véritable tâche d’une herméneutique de la condition historique, soucieuse de mettre en question les prétentions totalisantes du savoir historique et de comprendre à la fois en quoi la condition historique définit notre être même, serait de « penser l’histoire ». Partant de cette hypothèse, nous avons voulu interroger comment le théâtre se ferait témoin de la condition historique actuelle, à une époque dite présentiste ? À travers une enquête sur trois metteurs en scène européens – Christoph Marthaler, Thomas Ostermeier et Milo Rau –, cette recherche interroge ainsi les moyens mis en forme par la création théâtrale depuis les années 1990 pour réagir aux difficultés à articuler un regard sur notre condition historique présente. En s’appuyant sur un large corpus de textes critiques d’histoire et d’historiographie, mais aussi sur une sélection d’études théoriques récentes traitant des mécanismes et enjeux de la représentation, cette enquête se concentre sur l’analyse d’une vingtaine de mises en scène, les appréhendant comme autant d’objets théoriques singuliers, à même de rendre perceptibles certaines stratégies poétiques et politiques développées ces trente dernières années. Par le recours à ces créations, ce travail se propose d’éprouver la persistance ou la mutation des énoncés postmoderne et postdramatique, au regard notamment d’une appréhension renouvelée de la notion de réalisme, mise en avant par certains de ces artistes. Si cette étude commence par remettre en perspective historiquement ces questions et l’ambition du théâtre à « dire le réel », elle a pour objet principal d’interroger – en considérant la mise en scène comme une langue à part entière et sans se substituer aucunement aux travaux menés par les historiens – ce que cet art du temps par excellence pourrait nous dire sur la période historique que nous traversons et ainsi, percevoir dans quelle mesure ces mises en forme par le travail de l’art suggéreraient certaines lectures du présent à même d’ouvrir des futurs collectivement appréhendables
According to the philosopher Paul Ricoeur, both at the end of Temps et Récit III and of La Mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli, the true task of an hermeneutic of historical consciousness concerned with challenging the totalizing claims of historical knowledge would be to « think history » and understand how the historical condition defines our very being. On the basis of this hypothesis, the question was to understand how contemporary theatre witnesses the current historical condition, in a so-called presentist era, and thereby renews its view on its own practice. Through an investigation on three European directors - Christoph Marthaler, Thomas Ostermeier and Milo Rau - this research questions the resources used by theatrical creation since the 1990s to respond to the difficulties of articulating a knowledge on our present historical condition. Supported by a large body of critical texts on history and historiography, but also by a selection of recent theoretical studies dealing with the mechanisms and challenges of representation, this work focuses on the analysis of about twenty stage productions, treating them as unique theoretical objects, which can reveal some poetic and political strategies developed over the past thirty years. Through the use of these creations, this work aims to explore the persistence or mutation of postmodern and postdramatic statements, with a special focus on a renewed appreciation of the notion of realism, put forward by some of these artists. If this study begins by putting these questions and the theatre’s ambition to « state reality » into historical perspective, its main purpose is to examine – by considering staging as a language in its own right and without in any way substituting the work carried out by historians – what this art of time as a form could tell us about the historical period we are going through and thus, to perceive what extent these transformations through art work would suggest as interpretations of the present that could open the way to collectively understandable future

Full text

Abstract:

Marquée par la longueur, le réalisme et la lisibilité, l'esthétique du roman-fleuve chez Romain Rolland, Martin du Gard, Jules Romains et Duhamel peut paraître anachronique dans le paysage littéraire de l'entre-deux-guerres. Le roman-fleuve maintient en effet l'ambition démiurgique dans un contexte historique qui semble l'interdire. Trace d'une volonté toujours vivace de créer un livre-monde alors même que les certitudes positivistes s'écroulent, la poétique du roman-fleuve est plus intempestive qu'anachronique : c'est son présent qui rend improbables ses choix esthétiques. Au-delà du traumatisme de la Première Guerre, le roman-fleuve tâche d'élaborer un livre-monde, fût-il précaire ; il travaille à se faire tombeau. Il rend compte des bouleversements de la perception du moi, du temps et de la collectivité - ces éléments qui rendent caduc le paradigme naturaliste, auquel la critique a jusqu'ici rattaché le roman-fleuve. La composition de ce reflet fantomatique de la Belle Époque oscille entre construction et fragmentation. Son dispositif pragmatique conduit à dépasser le postulat mimétique, pour révéler une conception très moderne des pouvoirs de la fiction. Contre le rêve d'un " roman objectif " [Martin du Gard], le roman-fleuve fait émerger un dialogue entre auteur et lecteur. Ce sous-genre se révèle en définitive comme le lieu d'une expérimentation politique, fictionnelle et générique. Invitant le lecteur à reconnaître les interactions multiples entre mondes fictifs et monde réel, il lui permet de distinguer les différentes logiques génériques qui entrent en tension dans le texte. Il appelle ainsi une lecture réflexive et orchestre un apprentissage littéraire.

Abstract:

Dans les films de Jean-Luc Godard, l’écrit est omniprésent. L’hypothèsedéveloppée ici est que le livre se perpétue et se réinvente au cinéma.La mise en page, et singulièrement la typographie, est le moyen privilégiépour le cinéaste d’interroger et éprouver les rapports paradoxaux du texteet de l’image. Dans les voies ouvertes par lui et dans une perspectiveméthodologique comparatiste, j’étaye mes intuitions, hypothèses etdémonstrations sur mon expérience de praticien-chercheur dans le champgraphique, en me fondant sur la démarche inductive qu’offrentles rapprochements d’images et de textes.Mon corpus d’études s’ordonne autour de trois figures : Maximilien Vox(1894-1974), l’homme-livre et l’homme du livre ; Marguerite Duras (1914-1996), cinéaste, comme dépositaire d’une certaine idée de la France et deses courants de création, et Jean-Christophe Averty (1928-2017), metteuren page de télévision. La distinction normative entre télévision et cinéman’a pas favorisé un réel dialogue entre Godard et Averty. En dépit de leursantagonismes notoires, esthétiques et politiques, elle fait écran à leurproximité, pourtant la plus surprenante et profonde, dans le champ d’étudeexaminé.Au prisme du graphisme, perspectives et proportions de l’oeuvre deGodard s’affranchissent du seul regard des études cinématographiques.Le rapprochement des différents champs de l’esthétique — histoires ducinéma, design graphique ou télévision — établissent combien Godard, touten étant « le cinéma à lui tout seul », est un héritier de la page impriméeet son prolongateur, de l’imprimé à la vidéo
In Jean-Luc Godard’s films, the written word is omnipresent. The hypothesisdeveloped here is that the book is perpetuated and reinvented in thecinema. The layout, and especially the typography, is the privileged way forthe filmmaker to question and experience the paradoxical relationshipsbetween text and image. In the ways opened by him and from a comparativemethodological perspective, I support my intuitions, hypotheses anddemonstrations on my experience as a practitioner-researcher in the graphicfield, based on the inductive approach offered by the confrontation ofimages and texts.My body of studies is organized around three figures : Maximilien Vox(1894-1974), the man of the book in France ; Marguerite Duras (1914-1996),filmmaker, depositary of a certain idea of France and its creative currents,and Jean-Christophe Averty (1928-2017), television layout maker. Thenormative distinction between television and cinema has not fostered a realdialogue between Godard and Averty. Despite their notorious aesthetic andpolitical antagonisms, it conceals their proximity, even though it is the mostsurprising and profound, in the field of study examined.Through the prism of graphic design, perspectives and proportions ofGodard’s work are free from the sole gaze of film studies. The convergenceof the different fields of aesthetics – history of cinéma, graphic design ortelevision — establish how much Godard, while being « the cinema all alone »,is an heir to the printed page and an extender, from print to video

Abstract:

Louise Bourgeois se está convirtiendo en una de las artistas modernas más conocidas en occidente, su fama es casi una parodia del anonimato en el que vivió durante la mayor parte de su vida artística. En el último cuarto de siglo se ha escrito una cantidad abrumadora de literatura sobre su trabajo, siendo su obra mostrada en grandes exposiciones internacionales itinerantes y convirtiéndose en el centro de estudio de críticos, académicos y estudiantes. ¿Qué es lo que aún queda por decir sobre esta artista tan ampliamente estudiada? Este fue una de las grandes interrogantes que se me plantearon al iniciar mi trabajo de tesis en 2010. Por un lado es muy difícil aportar algo diferente cuando hay equipos de personas en los grandes museos que junto con especialistas externos redactan catálogos para sus exposiciones, pero por el otro, tantos profesionales han arrojado luz sobre su obra que es posible profundizar en ella desde numerosos campos de conocimiento distintos. La clave está en la obra de Bourgeois, un cuerpo de obra que se extiende durante la mayor parte del siglo XX e inicios del XXI, que es capaz de reinventar los términos de su expresión artística pero que es coherente con sus temas durante todo el re- corrido. Una obra enigmática, asombrosa y muy personal que es capaz de abrazar innumerables interpretaciones. Para mí no ha sido un camino fácil ni directo. Cuando empecé la tesis quise abordar el trabajo a partir de la idea de “la habitación propia de Virginia Woolf”, leyendo el trabajo de Bourgeois como la construcción progresiva de un espacio literal y metafórico donde ser y devenir mujer y artista. Seguidamente me concentré en el concepto de celda, con la ambición de elaborar una genealogía de este concepto a partir de la vida y la obra de diferentes mujeres desde el siglo XV. Finalmente, mi investigación y mi experiencia vital durante la escritura de la tesis me llevaron a la propuesta actual, el análisis de la escultura en Bourgeois como un espacio matricial, donde es posible la revuelta interior. Mi trabajo ha consistido en relacionar la obra de Bourgeois con la teoría de los géneros de Christopher Bollas, el concepto de revuelta de Julia Kristeva y el estudio de la subjetividad de Nick Mansfeld. En la primera parte de la tesis se propone una introducción a la vida y obra de Louise Bourgeois exponiendo los factores que propiciaron que su trabajo fuera considerado contemporáneo durante más de siete décadas. El segundo capítulo se centra en su emblemática serie Cells y se describe como una estructura generativa y matricial. El tercer capítulo recorre la propuesta de Bourgeois a partir del concepto de revuelta y del protagonismo de la subjetividad en el trabajo de la artista. Durante la redacción de esta tesis he usado intermitentemente la primera persona. Podría parecer no procedente desde una perspectiva académica más tradicional. He creído oportuno hacerlo porque este trabajo me ha ocupado durante un largo periodo de mi vida y me he comprometido con él; este estudio ha influido en mi vida y mi vida ha dado forma a esta investigación. En segundo lugar porque uno de los temas centrales de la tesis es la subjetividad en el trabajo de Bourgeois, una subjetividad que nace a través de su experiencia vivencial y que se manifiesta a lo largo de todo su arte. Espero que la estructura del índice de esta tesis, así como las relaciones conceptuales y visuales que en ella se han establecido, permitan acercarse al trabajo de Louise Bourgeois desde un nuevo prisma, y sean de utilidad para el futuro estudio de la artista.

Abstract:

La présente thèse est une étude écocritique où l’on analyse l’environnement dans les romans: Globalia (2004), écrit par l’écrivain français Jean-Christophe Rufin et Amor en la Línea Vieja (Amour sur l’Ancienne Ligne) (2007), écrit par le Costaricien Walter Rojas Pérez. Cette investigation examine l’expression de la conscience écologique, représentée à partir de l’optique de chaque romancier non seulement dans des périodes différentes (2004/2007), mais aussi dans des endroits distincts. Ici sont analysées les visions singulières de l’Homme en relation avec la campagne et la ville, accompagnées d’une structure politique corrompue où l’on observe l’inégalité de correspondances qui influence le déséquilibre écologique, affectant les systèmes naturels , anthropiques et l’être humain. Les romans étudiés ne reflètent pas l’image de la nature vue comme «enfer vert», au contraire, le naturel traduit le portrait d’une Mère qui fournit tout le nécessaire pour la survie des êtres vivants. C’est pour cela que les postulats de dénonciation critiquent l’abus que l’être humain fait contre l’environnement, le déboisement de la forêt, la contamination des bassins hydrographiques, l’utilisation indistincte des produits agrochimiques, la pollution de l’air et de la terre avec des résidus industriels tirés comme décharges à ciel ouvert, tout en se transformant en éléments destructifs qui raccourcissent la vie des êtres vivants sur la Planète Verte. Dans les deux romans les auteurs accusent l’exploitation insoutenable des ressources naturelles par l’homme conquérant de la nature qui sert aux buts globalisateurs de l’industrialisation. Les textes enregistrent une séries de scène qui critiquent la pratique du développement non-durable et où le paupérisé dévaste la nature et se soumet au pouvoir économique par la nécessité de survivre, pour se transformer finalement en «des-gens», vivre comme les ordures recyclées et se nourrir des déchets de l’industrialisation. La pauvreté globale est telle que les «trois quarts de la population mondiale vivent dans le Tiers Monde, ce qui représente plus de deux tiers du secteur de la surface de la terre» (Stokke 19). La Terre incarne l’être vivant qui appartient à un écosystème universel et, pour se maintenir robuste, elle a besoin de son espace soutenable, dans un milieu écologique sain. La stabilité de la planète est d’importance suprême pour le reste des espèces qui la cohabitent. Voici le discours écocritique que les romanciers Rufin et Rojas Pérez souhaitent transmettre dans le but de perpétuer la viabilité terrestre, de sorte que toute espèce prenne plaisir au nectar qui la maintient vigoureuse. La dénonciation des romanciers cherche à éveiller la conscience pour maintenir l’équilibre écologique sur la Planète Verte. De la même manière, le discours environnementaliste-littéraire va au-delà de la frontière terrestre, tout en arrivant à des mondes cosmiques et universalisés de la Terre, comme celui qui apparaît dans le roman Globalia. L’analyse écocritique dans Amor en la Línea Vieja fait transparaître une réalité cosmologique définie depuis une dimension inextricable qui cherche à recréer la bonne interrelation entre toutes les espèces. Ce monde terrestre-universel offre l’occasion de coexister avec la société interplanétaire où les espèces maintiennent une racine commune. Tant Globalia comme Amor en la Línea Vieja donnent aux nouvelles générations le message écocritique suivant: elles sont dédiées à sauver l’habitat global
The following study analyzes the environment in the novels: Globalia (2004), written by the French novelist Jean-Christophe Rufin and Amor en la Línea Vieja (Love at the Old Rail) (2007), written by the Costa Rican author Walter Rojas Pérez. This research examines the expression of ecological consciousness represented from the authors’ perspectives both in different periods of time (2004/2007) and distinctive places. Below are analyzed the peculiar visions of the Mankind in relationship with the country and the city, accompanied by a corrupt political structure where the inequality of connections influences the ecological unbalance, affecting the natural, anthropic, and human beings’ ecosystems. The novels here studied do not reflect the image of nature viewed as «a green hell»; nonetheless, the natural aspects depict the portrait of a Mother furnishing all the necessary for the humankind’s survival. Thus, the denunciation premises criticize the abuse committed by mankind against the environment, the deforestation of woods, the contamination of hydrographic basins, the indistinct use of agrochemical products, air and land pollution with industrial residue dumped outside as garbage; most likely destructive elements which shorten humankind’s life on the Blue Planet. Both novels accuse the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources by the human conqueror of nature and who serves the globalization goals of the industrialization. This unsustainable development favors the ecological imbalance which leads to the disappearance of uncountable species dying without having ever been studied, taking away the opportunity to the future generations to have even known them. The texts register how the economically poor human beings devastate the nature and give into the economic power for the need to survive, and to finally become “un-people”. Global poverty is such that “three quarters of the world population live in the Third World, which stands for more than two thirds of the earth’s surface” (Stokke 19). The lucky ones, supported by certain people in power, manipulate the citizens by means of transnational companies, and –using the excuse of modernization- they steal nature’s resources. Therefore, when these living beings stop serving the petty interests of the rich, they are laid off without any benefits, directly affecting their human ecology and that of their families; consequently, the underprivileged have no other alternative but to join certain at-risk settlements, live as recycled garbage, and eat from the industrialization’s waste. The Earth embodies a living being that pertains to a universal ecosystem and which requires its own sustainable space, within a healthy ecological environment. The planet’s stability is of supreme importance to the rest of the species that live together on it. This is the ecocritical discourse that the novelists Rufin and Rojas Pérez desire to transmit, hoping to perpetuate the terrestrial viability that all species could enjoy the nectar which maintains it strong. The novelists’ denunciation awakens the consciousness for preserving the Blue Planet’s ecological balance. Moreover, the environmental-literary discourse goes beyond the terrestrial frontiers, getting to the Earth’s cosmic and universal worlds, as the one that appears in the novel Globalia. A defined cosmological reality surges in Amorn en la Línea Vieja, when –from an inextricable point of vegetation on Earth- one may go through a tunnel onto another dimension where friendly beings interact with each other. On that terrestrial-universal world, the vegetation resembles the one known on Earth, and where the characters Ion and Elena welcome Nuria as member of their family, thus giving Nuria the opportunity to coexist with an interplanetary society of common root species. Both Globalia and Amor en la Línea Vieja pass on to the new generations a clear ecocritical message: they are dedicated to save the global habitat

Abstract:

This thesis provides the first rigorous history of the concept of midlife crisis. It highlights the close connections between understandings of the life course and social change. It reverses accounts of popularization by showing how an idea moved from the public sphere into academia. Above all, it uncovers the feminist origins of the concept and places this in a historically little-studied tradition of writing about middle age that rejected the gendered "double standard of aging." Constructions of middle age and life-planning were not always oppressive, but often used for feminist purposes. The idea of midlife crisis became popular in the United States with journalist Gail Sheehy's Passages (1976), a critique of Erik Erikson's male-centered model of ego development and psychoanalytic constructions of gender and identity more generally. Drawing on mid-century notions of middle life as the time of a woman's entry into the public sphere, Sheehy's midlife crisis defined the onset of middle age, for men and women, as the end of traditional gender roles. As dual-earner families replaced the male breadwinner model, Passages circulated widely, read by women and men of different generations, including social scientists. Three psychoanalytic experts-Daniel Levinson, George Vaillant, and Roger Gould-rebutted Sheehy by putting forward a male-only concept of midlife as the end of a man's family obligations; they banned women from reimagining their lives. Though this became the dominant meaning of midlife crisis, it was not universally accepted. Feminist scholars, most famously the psychologist and ethicist Carol Gilligan, drew on women's experiences to challenge the midlife crisis, turning it into a sign of emotional instability, immaturity, and egotism. Resonating with widespread understandings of mental health and social responsibility, and confirmed by large-scale surveys in the late 1990s, this relegated the midlife crisis to a chauvinist cliché. It has remained a contested concept for negotiating the balances between work and life, production and reproduction into the present day.

Abstract:

This project is a response to the author's passion for sport and his curiosity about the architectural process that is necessary to understand and facilitate the inter-relation of body, mind and soul. The potential influence of physical exercise; its correlation with the metaphysical aspects of the individual and how its influence spills over into the larger context of society is investigated. This dissertation attempts to form an architectural response that is indigenous to the local population, the climate and the existing urban condition and ranges from a thorough understanding of the community to the effective contribution that architecture can offer, based on the concept of ‘Sport for Development’ programmes in South Africa. The primary objective of the architectural response is to amplify the potential of sport as a means to peace building and self-actualization within a society that suffers from the effects of crime and violence. Although popular culture believes in the positive potential of sport, Ramon Spaaij identifies factors and conditions that must be met if the positive value of sport is to be enjoyed. The dissertation incorporates these factors and conditions into a multipurpose 'Sport for Development' community complex. This complex aims to augment the existing sport for development programmes in South Africa and serve as a prototype for future sport for development centres that ultimately includes everyone in the process of reconciliation.

Abstract:

Spender et Isherwood s’avèrent être des sources étonnamment fiables concernant l’histoire du monde allemand. Bien que recourant parfois aux clichés et à la stylisation, ils fournissent des informations précieuses sur des artistes allemands et autrichiens tels que Herbert List et Berthold Viertel. Isherwood a recours au mythe non seulement pour se poser en grand-père du mouvement pour les droits des homosexuels américains, mais aussi pour explorer les multiples avancées sur la sexualité en Europe pendant l’entre-deux-guerres. Ainsi, son récit fictif de la rencontre entre Gide et Hirschfeld défie la doxa critique et permet à Gide de prendre sa place légitime dans l’histoire de la libération homosexuelle.Isherwood fut également le premier à s’intéresser à l’impact de Viertel sur le cinéma britannique. Prater Violet met en valeur la contribution technique et artistique du réalisateur autrichien et révèle combien les studios anglais dépendaient des talents continentaux entre les deux Guerres mondiales. Bien qu’Isherwood, pour les besoins de l’intrigue, ait fait de Viertel un impuissant sur le plan politique dans son roman, il souligna plus tard le message anti-colonialiste audacieux que Viertel fit passer dans Rhodes of Africa. Le film nous invite à remettre en cause l’idée selon laquelle la censure fut toute puissante pendant les années trente.Les échanges de Spender et Auden avec le monde allemand démontrent un engagement continu pour le dialogue entre nations et contre la censure. Déjà, en 1939, Spender faisait son retour en politique, à travers ses traductions et ses critiques. Sa version des Élégies de Duino, qui fait autorité, et ses articles sur Goethe et Hölderlin ont permis de reprendre possession de l’héritage littéraire allemand confisqué par les nazis. Touchant un large lectorat, European Witness de Spender aida à renforcer cette tendance après la guerre, plaidant pour une acceptation de l’Allemagne au sein de la famille européenne.À une échelle plus modeste, Auden se battit pour la réhabilitation littéraire d’un grand auteur autrichien qui s’était compromis avec le régime nazi. Il considérait son élégie pour Weinheber comme un devoir public, appelant la traduction en prose qu’il avait préparée avec une amie « mon Gemeindepflicht » (mon devoir de citoyen).Après le retour d’Auden et Spender au libéralisme vers 1937, leurs échanges avec le monde allemand trahissent un intérêt surprenant pour les auteurs classés à droite, dû à des raisons esthétiques. Le fait qu’Auden prit la défense de Josef Weinheber nous rappelle qu’il s’est aussi battu pour la réhabilitation artistique de Wyndham Lewis, notamment en signant une pétition collective avec Spender. Spender, pour sa part, avoua une fascination embarrassante pour le Feuer und Blut d’Ernst Jünger et le Kampf um Berlin de Goebbels. Les deux poètes anglais ont adhéré au credo libéral en vertu duquel la critique littéraire et historique ne doit pas être handicapée par des considérations politiques.Bien que ce travail de recherche doive beaucoup à l’approche culturelle de la traduction développée par Susan Bassnett et André Lefevere, il montre également les limites de leur théorie. Elle est plus pertinente dans des situations particulières telles que la guerre (la traduction des Élégies de Duino par Spender à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en témoigne) ou l’exil (voir la traduction du Pastor Hall d’Ernst Toller par Spender). Dans les cas moins extrêmes, et lorsque l’auteur source n’est ni inconnu, ni « canonique » dans la culture cible, la subjectivité du traducteur redevient un facteur important. C’est ce que démontrent les traductions de Brecht par Auden
Spender and Isherwood turn out to give surprisingly reliable accounts of the German world. While occasionally indulging in clichés and stylization, they provide rare information on German and Austrian artists such as Herbert List and Berthold Viertel. Isherwood uses myth not only to pose as the grandfather of the American gay rights movement, but also to explore the multiple sexual modernities in Europe between the wars. His mythical narrative of the meeting between Gide and Hirschfeld thus challenges critical doxa, allowing Gide to take his rightful place in the history of homosexual liberation.Isherwood was also one of the first to consider Viertel’s impact on British cinema. Prater Violet stresses the Austrian director’s technical and artistic contribution, revealing how much English studios depended on continental talent between the wars. Though Isherwood, for dramatic reasons, presented Viertel as politically impotent in the novel, he later pointed out that the director had conveyed a daring anti-colonial message in Rhodes of Africa. The film invites us to question the notion of an all-powerful censorship through the thirties.Their exchanges with the German world demonstrate an ongoing commitment to transnational dialogue and against censorship. Already in 1939, Spender was getting back, through the channels of translation and criticism, into politics. His authoritative version of the Duino Elegies and his articles on Goethe and Hölderlin reclaimed Germany’s literary heritage from its Nazi exponents. Spender’s widely read European Witness helped to strengthen this trend after the war, pleading for the acceptance of Germany into the European family.At a smaller scale, Auden fought for the literary rehabilitation of a major Austrian writer that had compromised himself during the Nazi era. He regarded the elegy to Weinheber as a public duty, calling the prose translation he prepared with a German friend ‘my civic duty’.After Auden and Spender’s return to liberalism in the late thirties, their exchanges with the German world betray a surprising interest in right-wing authors on aesthetic grounds. Auden’s defence of Josef Weinheber reminds us that he also strove for the artistic rehabilitation of Wyndham Lewis, co-signing a petition letter with Spender. Spender, for his part, admitted to an embarrassing fascination for Ernst Jünger’s Feuer und Blut and Goebbels’s Kampf um Berlin. The two English poets upheld the liberal credo that literary and historical criticism should not be hampered by political considerations.Although the present research owes much to Susan Bassnett and André Lefevere’s cultural approach to translation, it also exposes its limits. Their theory applies best to particular situations such as war (Spender’s rendering of the Duino Elegies on the eve of World War Two) or exile (his version of Ernst Toller’s Pastor Hall). In less extreme cases, and when the source author is neither unknown nor canonical in the target culture, the translator’s subjectivity becomes once again an important factor, as Auden’s renderings of Brecht demonstrate

Abstract:

Thesis (MA (English))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
ENGLISH ABTRACT: In recent years, original and exciting developments have been taking place in Nigerian literature. This new body of literature, collectively referred to as the ―third generation‖, has lately received international acclaim. In this emergent literature, the negotiation of a new, contemporary identity has become a central focus. At the same time, recent Nigerian literary texts are articulating responses to various developments in the Nigerian nation: Nigeria‘s current political and socio-economic situation, diverse forms of cultural hybridisation, as well as an increasing trans-national consciousness, to mention only a few. Three 21st-century novels – Chimamanda Nogzi Adichie‘s Purple Hibiscus (2004), Sefi Atta‘s Everything Good Will Come (2004) and Chris Abani‘s GraceLand (2005) – reveal how new avenues of identity-negotiation and formation are being explored in various contemporary Nigerian situations. This study tracks the ways in which the Bildungsroman, the novel of self-development, serves as a vehicle through which this new identity is articulated. Concurrently, this study also grapples with the ways in which the articulation and negotiation of this new identity reshapes the conventions of the classical Bildungsroman genre, thereby establishing a unique and contemporary Nigerian Bildungsroman for the 21st century. The identity that is being negotiated by the third generation is multi-layered and inclusive, as opposed to the exclusive and unitary identities which are observable in Nigerian novels of the previous two generations. Such inclusivity, as well as the hybrid environments in which this identity is being negotiated, results in a form of ―identity layering‖. Thus, the individual comes into being at the point of intersection, overlap and collision of various modes of self-making. Such ―layering‖ allows the individual, albeit not without challenge, to perform a self-styled identity, which does not necessarily conform to the dictates of society. At the same time, the identity is negotiated by means of an engagement, in the form of intertextual dialoguing, with Nigeria‘s preceding literary generations. The most prominent arenas in which this new identity is negotiated include silenced domestic spaces, religo-cultural traditions, constructs of gender and nation, as well as in multicultural and hybrid communities. The investigation conducted in this thesis will, consequently, also focus on such areas of Nigerian life, as they are portrayed in the focal texts. Various theories of literary analysis (some of which specifically focus on Nigeria), Bildungsroman theory, theories of allegory, (imaginative) nation formation, feminism, gender and performativity, as well as theories of cultural identity and cultural exchanges, will form the critical and theoretical framework within which this investigation will be executed. Chapter One explores how Purple Hibiscus‘s protagonist, Kambili Achike, negotiates her gender identity and voice in order to constitute herself as an independent, self-authoring individual. Chapter Two, which focuses on Everything Good Will Come, investigates the dialectic relationship between Enitan Taiwo‘s national and personal identity, which inevitably leads to her quest to reconceive her gender identity, since national identity, as she finds out, is always an engendered construct. In its analysis of GraceLand, Chapter Three turns to the difficulties that Elvis Oke faces when he attempts to negotiate an alternative masculine identity within a rigid patriarchal system and between the cracks of a fraudulent African modernity.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die afgelope paar jaar was daar opwindende, oorspronklike ontwikkelinge in Nigeriese literatuur. Hierdie nuwe literatuurkorpus, wat gesamentlik bekend staan as die ―derde generasie, het onlangs internasionale erkenning ontvang. In hierdie opkomende literatuur, kry die soeke na 'n nuwe, kontemporêre identiteit ‘n sentrale fokus. Terselfdertyd reageer onlangse Nigeriese literêre werke met verskeie ontwikkelinge in die Negeriese nasie: Nigerië se huidige politieke en sosio-ekonomiese situasie, diverse vorme van kultuurverbastering asook 'n toenemende trans-nasionale bewustheid, om maar ‘n paar te noem. Drie 21ste eeuse romans – Chimamanda Nogzi Adichie se Purple Hibiscus (2004), Sefi Atta se Everything Good Will Come (2004) en Chris Abani se GraceLand (2005) – onthul hoe nuwe kanale van identiteidsonderhandeling en –vorming in verskeie kontemporêre Nigeriese situasies ondersoek word. Hierdie studie ondersoek die maniere waarop die Bildungsroman, die roman van selfontwikkeling, as ‗n medium dien waardeur hierdie nuwe identiteit geartikuleer word. Terselfdertyd sal hierdie studie ook worstel met die maniere waarin die artikulasie en soeke na hierdie nuwe identiteit die konvensies van die klassieke Bildungsroman genre hervorm, en daardeur 'n unieke en kontemporêre Nigeriese Bildungsroman vir die 21ste eeu vestig. Die identiteit wat ontwikkel deur die derde generasie is veelvlakkig en inklusief en staan teenoor die eksklusiewe, eenvormige identiteite wat in Nigeriese romans van die vorige twee generasies opgemerk word. Hierdie inklusiwiteit, sowel as die hibriede omgewings waarin hierdie identeite ontwikkel word, lei tot die vorming van identiteitslae. Die individu kom dus tot stand by die kruising, oorvleueling en botsing van verskillende metodes van selfvorming. Hierdie vorming van lae laat die individu toe, alhoewel nie sonder uitdagings nie, om 'n selfgevormde identiteit te hê wat nie noodwndig aan die eise van die gemeenskap voldoen nie. Terselfdertyd word hierdie identiteit onderhandel deur ‗n skakeling met Nigerië se voorafgaande literêre generasies in die vorm van intertekstuele dialoog. Die mees prominente omgewings waar hierdie nuwe identiteit onderhandel word, sluit stilgemaakte huishoudelike spasies, religieus-kulturele tradisies, konstrukte van gender en nasie, sowel as multi-kulturele en hibriede gemeenskappe in. Die ondersoek wat in hierdie tesis uitgevoer sal word, sal daarom ook fokus op hierdie areas van Nigeriese lewe, soos deur die fokale tekste voorgestel. Verskeie teorieë van literêre analise (sommige wat spesifiek op Nigerië fokus), Bildungsromanteorie, teorieë van allegorie, (denkbeeldige) nasievorming, feminisme, gender en performatiwiteit, sowel as teorieë van kultuuridentiteit en -uitruiling, vorm die kritiese en teoretiese raamwerk waarbinne hierdie ondersoek uitgevoer sal word. Hoofstuk een ondersoek hoe Purple Hibiscus se protagonist, Kambili Achike, haar genderidentiteit onderhandel en uitdrukking gee om haarself as onafhanklike, self-skeppende individu te vorm. Hoofstuk twee, wat fokus op Everything Good Will Come, ondersoek die dialektiese verhouding tussen Enitan Taiwo se nasionale en persoonlike identiteit, wat onvermydelik lei tot die herbedenking van haar genderidentiteit, aangesien nasionale identiteit, soos sy uitvind, altyd 'n gekweekte konstruk is. In sy analise van GraceLand, draai Hoofstuk drie om die moeilikhede wat Elvis Oke in die gesig staar wanneer hy probeer om ‘n alternatiewe manlike identiteit te onderhandel in 'n rigiede patriargale sisteem tussen krake van 'n bedrieglike Afrika-moderniteit.

Abstract:

Sous l’intitulé « remembrance théâtrale », la thèse se propose d’examiner la présence du passé ainsi que les usages de l’Histoire et de la mémoire dans la création scénique contemporaine en Europe. Quel regard les artistes de la scène contemporaine portent-ils sur le passé ? Quelle lecture nous donnent-ils de l’Histoire et dans quelle perspective ? Comment, et à quelles fins, intègrent-ils ce passé dans leur processus d’écriture scénique ? En quoi la scène et ses possibilités artistiques sont-elles propices à l’exploration de la mémoire ? Quel rôle ces artistes délèguent-ils au spectateur dans l’établissement du sens de cette exploration ? L’analyse s’appuiera sur trois créations récentes de Maguy Marin (Description d’un combat), Christoph Marthaler (Papperlapapp) et François Tanguy (Onzième). A travers l’exemple de ces formes scéniques apparentées au « spectre postdramatique » (Christian Biet, Christophe Triau) ainsi qu’à la constellation des « écritures du plateau » (Bruno Tackels), dans lesquelles se manifestent les pratiques de la fragmentation, de la citation, de la trace et de l’archive, de la déconstruction et de l’assemblage, il s’agira de saisir les spécificités esthétiques qui découlent de ces explorations du temps depuis la scène en interrogeant à la fois les modalités de leur mise en œuvre, les conditions de leur réception et les visées de leur présentation. Selon une approche esthétique s’appuyant notamment sur la philosophie de l’Histoire de Walter Benjamin, la thèse envisage donc de déployer tout à la fois une poïétique, une poétique ainsi qu’une politique de la remémoration dans les arts du spectacle de ces quinze dernières années
Under the heading "theatrical remembrance," this thesis sets out to examine the relation of modern theatre to the past and the uses of history and memory in contemporary stage creation in Europe. It examines how artists of the contemporary scene relate to the past asking the questions : What conception do they give us of history and from what perspective? How and for what purpose, do they integrate the past in their scenic writing process? In what way is the scene and its artistic possibilities conducive to the exploration of memory? What roles do artists delegate to their audience in determining the meaning of their artistic expression? The analysis is based on three recent creations by Maguy Marin (Description d'un combat), Christoph Marthaler (Papperlapapp) and François Tanguy (Onzième). Through these examples of scenic forms, affiliated to the "post-dramatic spectrum" (Christian Biet, Christophe Triau), as well as the contribution of Les écritures de plateau by Bruno Tackels, in which the practices of fragmentation, the quote, the trace, the archive; of dismantling and of assembly, appear. Through the use of the aesthetic characteristics resulting from these explorations of the past on the stage, and the questioning of the modalities of their implementation, the conditions of their reception and the purposes of their presentation and in accordance with an aesthetic approach based in particular on the philosophy of History by Walter Benjamin, the thesis plans to develop a poetics and politics of remembrance in the performing arts of the last fifteen years

Abstract:

Étudiée à travers un corpus de cinq auteurs scéniques – Romeo Castellucci, Pippo Delbono,Simon McBurney, Christoph Marthaler et François Tanguy, la représentation rhapsodique met en lumière une pratique théâtrale qui consiste à construire le spectacle à partir des composants du plateau : scénographie, jeu des acteurs et textes produits par les acteurs ou apportés comme« matériaux » de jeu. Le metteur en scène, devenu « auteur scénique », compose ainsi, en étroite relation avec les présences en scène une écriture scénique à l’intérieur de laquelle le texte,reconfiguré dans la partition scénique, déstabilise les attendus dramatiques. La caractéristique de cette écriture est de tresser les différents constituants entre eux et de se développer en séquences dramatiques, par un méticuleux travail de montage.Le paysage théâtral qui se dégage de cette étude place la réception au coeur du dispositif scénique
Through the study of five scenic authors – Romeo Castellucci, Pippo Delbono, SimonMcBurney, Christoph Marthaler and François Tanguy, rhapsodic performance highlights a theatrical practice which consists of constructing the show with the stage components : scenography, the acting, and the text produced or introduced by the actor as the acting« material ». The director, who becomes the « scenic author », thus composes, in strict relation with the stage presence a scenic account in which the text, reworked in its scenic partitions,destabilizes the dramatic expectations. The characteristic of this technique is to harmonize the different constituents amongst themselves and to unfold into dramatic sequences, through ameticulous mounting process.The theatrical landscape revealed through this study places reception in the heart of the scenic device

Abstract:

Cette thèse traite du rapport entre le corps et la voix dans la représentation lyrique actuelle, de même qu’il s’interroge sur son devenir. L’opéra a longtemps été le terrain privilégié de la voix, avec la perception du spectateur basée sur la jouissance vocale au détriment du corps. Mais, suite au renouveau de la mise en scène lyrique contemporaine, l’opéra découvre une expérience perceptive nouvelle, fondée sur la concordance entre le corps et la voix. Cette nouvelle relation corps-Voix n’a jamais été problématisée sous l’angle de la perception. Les opera studies américaines, déconstruisant la dualité voix-corps, pour aboutir à une conception nouvelle du corps, lui permettant d’acquérir son autonomie, en dépit de la dimension mythique accordé à la voix. Nous assistons aujourd’hui à une mutation du langage scénique à l’opéra, celui-ci disloquant le corps et la voix au profit de son démembrement ; je nomme mise en écoute ces nouvelles expériences scéniques. C’est notamment dans les œuvres de Krzysztof Warlikowski et de Christoph Marthaler que ce phénomène est visible. En plaçant les chanteurs dans une frontalité exacerbée, ils utilisent le plateau au profit de pantomimes, représentant des corps silencieux, ceux de personnages fictifs ou faisant partie de l’intrigue. Ces pantomimes agissent sur la perception de l’auditeur, déplaçant l’écoute frontale centrée sur la voix sur celle périphérique des corps muets. A cette stratégie scénique, transférant la perception de l’auditeur sur le corps, répond une autre stratégie qu’est la mise en scène de l’écoute : apparaissent sur le plateau des figures d’écoutes qui, encerclant la voix, la prennent en otage au profit d’une expérience chorale où nous écoutons l’écoute des autres. Ces expériences permettent l’émancipation progressive du corps, son éloquence envahissant alors le plateau. Surgissent alors des sections rajoutées au tronçon de l’œuvre : ces séquences de corporalité pure s’infiltrent dans les fissures de l’œuvre, dilatant le temps musical ou débordant littéralement du cadre formel
This dissertation is about the relation between body and voice in contemporary opera staging and its future. Opera has been considered as a voice phenomenon, defining the experience of the spectator based on vocal pleasure. After the renewal of the opera staging from the 50s, operagoers discover a new way of perception founded on the concordance between voice and body. American opera studies have deconstructed this body-voice relation, reaching a new conception of the body being independant despite of the mythical aspect of the operatic voice. We are witnessing a change on the operatic stage. This change consists of the division of the body and the voice and I name this reversal of the relation between body and voice the mise en ecoute. This phenomenon is shown in the stage works of Krzysztof Warlikowski and Christoph Marthaler. By putting the singer on the forestage and lessening the distance between the audience and singer, they use the stage for pantomimes, showing silent bodies who are the fictional characters or the real ones belonging to drama. These pantomimes impact on the spectator’s perception, directing his hearing from the voice to the mute body. We also notice another stage strategy which is the staging of the listening of the characters. The attention of these new listeners to the voice creates a new perception in which the spectator listens the hearing of these unusual figures, identifying himself with them. Through these experiences, the body frees itself, and its new voice invades the stage. New silent scenes appear on the stage which add to the operatic structure. These sequences of pure physicality penetrate into every layers of the work, in between the acts or at the beginning of the work, or even at the end, expanding the time of the work or overflowing the formal frame

Abstract:

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar as relações entre os media - a imprensa, a fotografia, o filme, a Internet - e a literatura, focalizando especificamente as diversas formas que a matéria Fausto assumiu durante nos últimos 500 anos e suas inter-relações com as outras áreas sociais. Parte-se da convicção que estes medias exercem um papel central na formação das estruturas sociais e nas suas características, conforme Wilhelm Voßkamp¹ os medias são "culturas de comunicação que co-definem a realidade social" (Stanitzek e Voßkamp 2001). A história de Fausto é traçada a partir de sua origem como lenda oral. Convém lembrar que a figura faustiana como base o verdadeiro Fausto que viveu aproximadamente de 1480/1 - 1510/1 na Alemanha. Georg ou Johann Faust era tido como um mágico, um astrólogo e um alquimista e suas histórias fantásticas circulavam oralmente até que foram registradas em manuscritos no início do séc. XVI. Enquanto Fausto era vivo já surgiram várias lendas a seu respeito e após sua morte, que se deu numa experiência alquímica, correu a história que ele tinha um pacto com o demônio. Martin Luther, contemporâneo de Fausto, foi o primeiro a associá-lo ao satã (entidade demoníaca da tradição cristã) em sua obra Conversa de mesa² (1593). Assim, o mito que celebra um pacto com o diabo encontra suas raízes na realidade. Após a invenção de Gutenberg, surge em 1587 a primeira obra impressa, o livro popular Historia von D. Johann Fausten³, publicado por Johann Spies. Este livro, que foi escrito com intenção de assustar, amedrontar e alertar os leitores contra as tentações do "diabo", era de fácil leitura e logo cativou um grande público, tornando-se rapidamente conhecido em quase toda a Europa. Um dos motivos da grande popularidade desta obra é que apesar de literária as cenas eram tão bem descritas que era possível projetar mentalmente os quadros de horror e sobrenaturais que ali eram narrados. A descrição da personagem demoníaca desta obra, chamada de Mephistopheles, teve nítida influência das imagens diabólicas projetadas com a laterna mágica e a câmera obscura na idade média e a personagem principal Fausto é apresentada como uma figura negativa, pois trata-se aqui de uma obra de doutrinação protestante. A mesma servia como advertência para aqueles que possuíam curiosidade intelectual e queriam ir além dos limites estabelecidos pelas igrejas católica e protestante. O inglês Christopher Marlowe escreveu em 1587 uma peça teatral The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus4, no qual, assim como na Historia, Fausto é levado pelo demônio no final da história, pois havia selado um pacto assinado com o próprio sangue. Mephisto serviria ao Fausto durante 24 anos, se o mesmo no fim da vida lhe desse sua alma. A obra de Marlowe influenciou posteriormente as peças teatrais, apresentações, teatro de marionetes e grupos de teatro itinerante na Alemanha. Em aproximadamente 1600, grupos teatrais alemães passaram a exibir a peça Fausto, introduzindo a mesma elementos cômicos, como por exemplo a figura do "Hanswurst". Fausto tornara-se uma peça dirigida ao povo, com apresentações em feiras populares. Com Gothold Ephraim Lessing inicia-se uma redramatização em um nível mais elevado, seguido pelas diversas versões do Goethe (Urfaust5-1775; Faust, ein Fragment6- 1791; Faust. Der Tragödie Erster Teil7-1808 e Faust. Der Tragödie zweiter Teil8-1826). Johann Wolfgang von Goethe assistiu ao teatro de marionetes, peça inspirada no drama de Marlowe e começa a interessar-se e aprofundar-se no tema. Goethe, porém deu ao seu livro um final diferente, nele Fausto é salvo. E é justamente em Goethe, onde Fausto torna-se símbolo do homem moderno, que a obra atinge sua máxima expressão. O Fausto apresentado em teatro de marionetes na época de Goethe e as projeções com a laterna mágica, referentes ao Fausto e Mephisto, que influenciaram a própria obra de Goethe, podem ser vistos como precursores para a introdução do novo meio fílmico. Os primeiros fragmentos na matéria do Fausto, dos quais se têm notícias, foram filmados aproximadamente em 1895, (enfatizando elementos aventureiros, mágicos e cômicos da personagem). Sabe-se que Louis Lumières e George Méliés fizeram inúmeras filmagens com a temática faustiana. Estes filmes que eram fragmentados e de curta duração eram apresentados em feiras, mercados ou espaços alugados para apresentações de filmes, como um espetáculo técnico e pura diversão. Fausto, como obra cinematográfica, vai se desenvolvendo através dos séculos, passando pelas fases inerentes á própria evolução do filme, ou seja, pela câmera obscura, laterna mágica e a fantasmagoria, até chegar ao filme mudo e falado. A temática faustiana foi vastamente utilizada nas mais diversas produções filmicas. Conforme Lange-Fuchs9, filmes sobre Fausto foram produzidos na Alemanha, França Inglaterra, América, Itália e Dinamarca. Também encontramos variantes em espanhol, romeno, dinamarquês, holandês, tscheco, servocroata, húngaro e até em jiidisch. Acompanhar o desenvolvimento da obra literária de Fausto em obra cinematográfica é ao mesmo tempo acompanhar a história da evolução do filme propriamente dita. Os filmes de curta duração retratavam somente imagens, cenas ou elementos das obras de Fausto, porém a partir de 1912 surgem filmes de longa duração com a temática faustiana.O filme mudo que será analisado mais detalhadamente neste trabalho é o Faust. Eine Deutsche Volkssage¹º (1926) de Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. Resumindo, pretende-se mostrar, como as diversas formas mediais trabalharam a figura do Fausto e como a mesma foi configurada, conforme seu respectivo medium em cada fase histórica. No que diz respeito às obras literárias, incluindo textos do treatro de marionetes, inicia-se este trabalho com a análise da já citada lenda oral, que foi inspirada pelo personagem histórico chamado Johannes "Georg" Faust, a qual surgiu manuscrita e foi impressa em 1587 (Volksbuch), após a invenção da imprensa de Gutenberg. Segue-se a estudo de Fausto no drama de Christopher Marlowe, no teatro de marionetes, que por sua vez também foram influenciados pelo escritor inglês Marlowe, o qual influenciou posteriormente as obras de Lessing e de Goethe. Apesar das obras literárias como as de Thomas e Klaus Mann abordarem a temática faustiana e serem de grande relevância para a literatura alemã, não serão foco de estudo neste trabalho. No que diz respeito ao cinema mudo alemão, o filme Faust. Eine deutsche Volkssage¹¹ de Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau será a última obra a ser analisada e estudada neste trabalho, por causa de sua grande importância para o cinema em geral. Quanto ao filme Mephisto¹² (1981) de István Szabó, o qual recorreu ao efeito do nacional-socialismo de Hitler, utilizando-se para isto da figura do ator Gustaf Gründgens, retratado primeiramente no livro de Klaus Mann; não será alvo deste trabalho. Em segundo lugar, será mostrado como o Fausto foi enriquecido de sentido diferenciado nos diversos momentos históricos: no Volksbuch com a presença da moral, no teatro de marionetes com a introdução da comicidade, na laterna mágica por sua qualidade visual e em Goethe com início da modernidade.

Abstract:

Le nombre d’auteurs contemporains qui écrit pour les adultes et pour les enfants va croissant, à tel point que la critique anglophone a forgé le terme de crosswriters pour les désigner. Ce travail se propose d’observer ces va-et-vient entre L’école des loisirs et les Éditions de l’Olivier de 1991 à 2011. Ces circulations répondent à d’importants enjeux éditoriaux et témoignent du rôle crucial des éditeurs dans l’accompagnement des écrivains. Cette thèse s’intéresse plus particulièrement à Christophe Honoré et Manuela Draeger (un des hétéronymes d’Antoine Volodine). Tous deux usent singulièrement du crosswriting puisque certains de leurs textes pour enfants et de leurs textes pour adultes se répondent au point qu’un inter-dit peut siéger dans le blanc qui sépare ces deux corpus. Ce phénomène d’intratextualité, adossé à un geste de polyadresse, remet en cause l’intransitivité supposée de la littérature car pour être décrypté, ce dit en suspens appelle un lecteur transgénérationnel. Cet inter-dit est le lieu où se jouent des transitions d’un âge vers un autre, des transmissions d’une génération à une autre... Mais c’est aussi le lieu de ce qui ne passe pas et vient trouer l’œuvre pour faire écho au trauma individuel ou collectif. Et si c’est toujours le texte pour adultes qui délègue au texte pour enfants ce qui ne peut être articulé dans une langue adultocentrée, ces transferts ne viennent jamais suturer la béance du dispositif intratextuel mais explorent en littérature jeunesse d’autres rapports à la langue et disent quelque chose de l’être de langage que nous sommes
The number of contemporary authors who write both for adults and children keeps rising, so much so that anglophone criticism has coined the term crosswriters to label the phenomenon. This work proposes to observe back-and-forth crossings between L’école des loisirs and Éditions de l’Olivier between 1991 and 2011. What motivate these crossings are important editorial stakes that attest to the crucial role played by publishers in guiding their authors. This dissertation will look more specifically to Christophe Honoré and Manuela Draeger (one of Antoine Volodine’s heteronyms). Both writers resort to crosswriting in singular ways as some of their children’s books and books for adults respond to one another to such an extent that what I call an “inter-diction” lodges itself in the interstice that divides their respective corpuses. This phenomenon of intratextuality, supported by a gesture of polyaddress, calls into question literature’s supposed intransitivity given that, in order to be decrypted, this suspended diction calls for a transgenerational reader. This inter-diction is the stage where are performed transitions from one age to another and where occur transmissions from one generation to the next. But it is also the site of what does not pass, of what punctures the work in an echo to individual or collective trauma. And if it is always the texts written for an adult readership that devolve to those for children what cannot be articulated in an adultocentered language, these transfers never seek to suture the abyss opened by intratextuality but rather explore through children’s literature alternative relations to language, thereby teaching us something about the linguistic beings that we are

Abstract:

Superati «novant’anni d’impazienza» e dopo un lungo periodo votato all’autocommento e all’esplorazione delle proprie intenzioni, Raffaele La Capria ha raccolto le sue opere in due Meridiani curati da Silvio Perrella. La Capria ne ha celebrato l’uscita nella prolusione inaugurale di Salerno Letteratura, poi confluita nel breve autoritratto narrativo "Introduzione a me stesso" (2014). In questa sede, l’autore è tornato su alcuni punti essenziali della sua riflessione sulla scrittura, come la relazione, reciproca e ineludibile, fra tradizione e contemporaneità. All’epilogo del «romanzo involontario» di una vita, La Capria guarda retrospettivamente alla propria esperienza come ad un’autentica educazione intellettuale. Perciò, muovendo da un’intervista inedita del 2015, riportata integralmente in appendice, la tesi ha l’obiettivo di ricostruire l’apprendistato letterario di La Capria dai primi anni Trenta, quando l’autore ancora frequentava il ginnasio, fino all’inizio dei Sessanta, quando ottenne il premio che ne avrebbe assicurato il successo. Il percorso, che riesamina l’intera bibliografia lacapriana nella sua varietà e nella sua stratificazione, si articola in una serie di fasi interdipendenti: la partecipazione indiretta alle iniziative dei GUF (intorno alle riviste «IX maggio» e «Pattuglia»); l’incursione nel giornalismo e l’impegno culturale nell’immediato dopoguerra (sulle pagine di «Latitudine» e di «SUD»); l’attività di traduttore dal francese e dall’inglese (da André Gide a T.S. Eliot); l’impiego alla RAI come autore e conduttore radiofonico (con trasmissioni dedicate a Orwell, Stevenson, Saroyan e Faulkner); la collaborazione con «Il Gatto Selvatico», la rivista dell’ENI voluta da Enrico Mattei e diretta da Attilio Bertolucci; e le vicende editoriali dei suoi primi due romanzi, “Un giorno d’impazienza” (1952) e “Ferito a morte” (1961), fino alla conquista dello Strega. La rilettura dell’opera di uno scrittore semi-autobiografico come La Capria, attraverso il costante riscontro di fonti giornalistiche, testimonianze epistolari e documenti d’archivio che avvalorano e occasionalmente smentiscono la sua versione dei fatti, diventa allora un’occasione per immergersi nella sua mitografia personale e avventurarsi in territori finora poco esplorati: come la ricostruzione del suo profilo culturale, a partire dal milieu in cui La Capria vive e opera, o l’incidenza delle letture e delle esperienze giovanili sulla sua prassi letteraria.

Abstract:

This study focused on Christopher Small's (b. 1927) perspectives on the inception, reception and application of his work since 1977 when his first book, Music Society Education was published. Small's perceptions and thoughts were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using oral history techniques based on qualitative research design. Grounded theory was employed in data analysis, and in the interpretation of Small's responses to interview questions. Implications for teachers, policy makers and curriculum designers suggest that musical activity within institutions ought to be examined further as to what end this activity serves, and as to where it places both teacher and learner. The author sought the extent to which Small's ideas have gained traction in current music education practice and findings revealed that Small's ideas are outside of foundational and current trends in music education based in the European classical tradition.

Abstract:

This dissertation offers a re-evaluation of the role of the imagination in Jean- Jacques Rousseau’s 'Emile: or On Education' (1762) and Christoph Martin Wieland’s 'Geschichte des Agathon' (1794). My central claim is that both novels develop a pedagogy of the imagination in order to overcome the dilemmas of Cartesian dualism, that is, to form a beautiful soul in whom sensuality and reason, the body and the spirit, coexist in harmony. I demonstrate that both texts highlight the important but potentially damaging role played by the imagination in the development of religious thought, moral sentiments, and sexuality. The texts suggest that while a malformed imagination results in materialism, egotism, libertinism, and despotism, a well-formed imagination provides the foundation for natural religion, cosmopolitan enthusiasm, sentimental love, and a just political constitution. Consequently, I argue that for Rousseau and Wieland, harnessing the power of the imagination becomes the key to reconciling human nature and civil society. In addition to elucidating the role of the imagination in 'Emile' and 'Agathon', this dissertation also contributes to an understanding of the intellectual affinities between Rousseau and Wieland more generally. In preparation for the comparative reading of 'Emile' and 'Agathon', I survey Wieland’s private and public responses to Rousseau and contend that although the two authors differ significantly in their narrative and philosophical approach, they nevertheless share similar moral and political ideals. Both authors acknowledge the ability of the imagination to drive a wedge between the individual’s natural inclinations and moral duties, causing fragmentation of the self and society in turn. Yet the imagination, the motor of cultural progress, is not only the source of man’s alienation, it is also the remedy for his dividedness. If properly harnessed, the imagination can cease to be the cause of human depravity and become the basis of peaceful human relations, both at the level of the individual and that of society as a whole. In conclusion, I propose that the role of the imagination in forming the beautiful soul has consequences for the collective, and that we can read the moral constitutions of Emile and Agathon as negotiating the possibilities of various political constitutions, including that of a democratic state.

Abstract:

La Fille de Christophe Colomb (Paris: Gallirnard, 1969) is a novel written by Rejean Ducharme in rhyming verse resembling an epic poem In this thesis, it will be shown that the form of the novel serves to emphasize the contestation of History evident in the novel's content. While this novel is certainly unusual in Ducharme's work it fits into the ambiant literary discourse of Quebec in the 1960's, where the theories of decolonisation influenced writers and critics alike. In particular, History was seen to be imposed on Quebec from the outside; Quebec must necessarily reject this History and begin to make its own. This underlying assumption for the analysis proposed in this thesis will be demonstrated in Chapter One through reflections by Ducharme's contemporaries, existing criticism of La Fille de' Christophe Colomb, and by current theories of postcolonial writing. In Chapter Two, the epic form of the novel will be studied in detail. On the surface, the author appears to respect the "rules" of the genre, but a close reading of the text will show that this respect is only superficial, and that the rules are subverted to create tension between literary norms and Ducharme's writing. It is the narrative structure of the novel, however, that proves to be the most subversive deviation from the norms of the epic poem: although the majority of the novel is narrated in the third person, a substantial fragmentation of the narrative voice occurs which will be demonstrated in Chapter Three. The net impact of this fragmentation is to produce a conflict between the codes of the epic poem and the novel. At the end of the analysis of the relationship between literary form and contestation of History in La Fille de Christophe Colomb, it will be shown that the form, as an element separate from the content, conveys a problematic relationship between this text and History. The novel contributes to the contestation of History as practised in the literature of Quebec in the 1960's by subverting the literary code, thereby linking literary history to History as colonizing factors that are questioned in this novel.

One observes differences in style, wording, chapter grouping, and other "superficial" changes. There are also major differences in content. Chief among these are the "Danae Geschichte" and the episode at Tarent, which are depicted in detail only in the third version. The respective endings of the two works are remarkably different, and one observes a development in Agathon's character more completely in the third version. Agathon's character development is central to the question whether or not Agathon is a "Bildungsroman".

Abstract:

The Evening Shadow, a six-minute work for symphony orchestra, is a short symphonic poem composed with the intent of evoking a sensation of lament and eventual deliverance. Drawing from the “Neapolitan Complex” found in Beethoven’s string quartet in C-sharp minor, op. 131 (exploitation of the semitone between C#-D), I attempted to create a dramatic “storyline” utilizing the semitone relation between E and F. From a programmatic standpoint, upward motion from E to F is meant to represent yearning (mm. 5-6, violins, mm. 14-15, violin/vibraphone, m. 18, cello, embedded in m. 20, flute 2) while downward motion from F to E (mm. 110-113, brass) symbolizes rescue and redemption. Motivic transformation was paramount to the construction of The Evening Shadow. Five primary motives are stated and developed. The first appears in the solo violin from mm. 3-4 and is transformed at m. 44 in the oboe and 2nd violins. The second motive is stated in mm. 9-12 in the 1st violins, and returns in canon from mm. 96-106. The third motive appears in the oboe in mm. 29-30 and is developed extensively (mm. 41-42, 47-48, 110-113). The fourth motive is stated in the 1st violins at m. 33 and returns in m. 52 in the 2nd violins. The final motive is first heard in the horns in mm. 39-40 and ends the piece from mm. 127-129. The motivic transformations make use of transposition, modal “adjustment,” and built in rubato effects, as well a large degree of fragmentation and recombination. Traditional contrapuntal technique was utilized throughout the work. Global harmonic motion of the piece, which makes use of skeletal tonic/dominant relations, can be heard as a progression through the following “tonicizations” and respective modalities: E/F (pitch-centric, no modality, mm. 1-33), D (Dorian, mm. 34-55), A (Dorian, mm. 52-54), E (pseudo-Phrygian, mm. 65-87), C (Mixolydian, mm. 108-121), G (Mixolydian, mm. 127-132), and E/F (pitch-centric, no modality, mm. 133-137). Atonal pitch-class set sonorities were used as structural rhetoric throughout. The aggregate collection, drawing from dodecaphonic theory, is used sparingly both melodically (mm. 16-17, violins and violas), and harmonically (mm. 2-3, 64, 66, 69, 137). Conceptual difficulties arise from orchestrational considerations in a contemporary work due to the broad array of possibilities demonstrated in the scores that span the history of orchestral music. I sought to create a hybrid of advanced traditional orchestration (Mahler, Strauss) and texturalist practices (Lutoslawski, Ligeti).

Abstract:

This thesis presents the historiographical concerns guiding the work of Christopher Dawson, Roman Catholic historian, sociologist, and philosopher of history, in terms of a science of human being, which is adequate to conceptualize human activity in time. The author attempts to show that Dawson rejects the modern, empirical paradigm, both for its secularity and its reconceptualization of the relation between time and human activity in history. A conceptual continuity Dawson sees between the work of modern empirical thinkers G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Nietzsche, and its consequences for understanding history as a teleological process, or the progress of Reason, consciousness, Spirit, self-overcoming, etc., is treated in the first section. Dawson's account of the natural conditions of human knowing, and its relation to his theory of culture, is treated in the second section. And in the final section, Dawson's understanding of the relation between religion and culture is presented.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the early modern representation of the Ottoman sultan as merciless murderer of his own family in dramas depicting Islam that are also revenge tragedies or history plays set in empires. This representation arose in part from historical events: the civil wars that erupted periodically from the reign of Sultan Murad I (1362-1389) to that of Sultan Mehmed III (1595-1603) in which the sultan killed family members who were rivals to the throne. Drawing on these events, theological and historical texts by John Foxe, Samuel Purchas, and Richard Knolles offered a distorted image of the Ottoman sultan as devoid of pity for anyone, but most importantly family, an image which seeped into early modern drama. Early modern English playwrights repeatedly staged scenes in the dramas that depict Islam in which one member of a family implores another for pity and to remain alive. However, family killing became diffuse and was not the sole province of the Ottoman sultan or other Muslim character: the Spanish, Romans, and the Scythians also kill their kin. Additionally, they kill members of their own religious, ethnic, and national groups as family killing expands to encompass a more general self destruction, self sacrifice, and self consumption. The presence of the Muslim character, Turk or Moor, serves to underscore the political and religious significance of other characters' family killing. Part of the interest of English playwrights in the Ottoman history of family killing is that England had suffered its own share of family killing or the specter of it during the Wars of the Roses, the Babington Plot against Queen Elizabeth's life, and the martyrdom of many English during the Protestant Reformation. Through an analysis of such plays as Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy , William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus , and Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine I and II , among others, I argue that English playwrights represented family killing to contend with England's past of civil war, its Protestant Reformation present, and its political future. The dramas that depict Islam portray rulers who elevate empire building above kinship bonds and who feel no pity for those in their own kinship, national, or religious groups. The plays illustrate that the emotion, pity, leads a ruler to the just action of extending mercy and that the converse, lack of pity, leads a kingdom or empire to injustice and destruction. The plays ultimately declare empire building unjust because it is pitiless, creating an argument against empire for English audiences.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines Samuel Beckett's powerful legacy and influence on contemporary theater (on plays written and produced since 1980), and it defines this influence in both text and performance as gestures of emptiness and impotence. The plays selected for analysis here have been categorized at times as belonging to a tradition and legacy of the so-called "Theater of the Absurd," but, finding this category to be at once too restrictive and too loose, their relationship to the absurd is defined by their explicit use of and inspiration taken from Beckett's theater. Beckett's intentional and innovative use of emptiness and impotence, both spatially and textually, is decisively paradoxical: while emphasizing blank spaces and powerlessness, his plays find meaning in emptiness and unexpected control in what he called the "exploitation of impotence." In each of the plays analyzed in this dissertation, (Dans la solitude des champs de coton, Koltès; La secreta obscenidad de cada día, de la Parra; Blasted, Kane; and Laughing Wild, Durang), the explicit use of both emptiness and powerlessness are examined, and at the same time, I define what it is about each of these gestures that renders them particularly Beckettian as they relate to these works. In all of the plays examined here, gestures of emptiness and impotence become their opposites: significance and power. Four of Samuel Beckett's plays (Fragment de théâtre I, En attendant Godot, Fin de partie, and Happy Days) are compared and contrasted with the work of Koltès, de la Parra, Kane and Durang respectively. The parallels revealed, made both intentionally and unintentionally by their playwrights, demonstrate not only the certainty of Beckett's continued influence, but also reflect his persistent, widespread impact. What is shown, with broader implications for future study, is that Beckett's use of emptiness and impotence as theatrical, literary and artistic gestures have led to a new kind of hopefulness, and a new kind of artistic inspiration that is unique to our time.

Abstract:

German text
This dissertation is a selective literary investigation (25 items) by a qualitative social research. It aims on the pastoral training and pastoral care of the Swiss theologian Eduard Thurneysen (1888-1974). His conception of pastoral care was directive within the 20th century in the German speaking Protestant church. In front of this background the pneumatological and spiritual elements are investigated that shape the pastoral approach of Thurneysen, both in theory and in practice. The research design for doing this is an adapted document analysis. For data collection, processing and analysis four different protocols are developed and for each item collected (attachement). In pneumatological and spiritual regard the main results are that Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt shaped and influenced Thurneysen fundamentally. He has been his lifelong example. Thurneysens pastoral approach is analogically characterized by continous prayer and longing for Holy Spirit. In the conclusions of the research results there are fourteen reflections on e. g. sustainability, finality or the ongoing discussion with the social sciences concerning a biblically oriented pastoral care.
