Melai, Fabrizio. "Les jésuites du Paraguay expulsés en Italie : mythologie politique et sociologie de l'exil." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0007.
Full textIn 1767. By order of King Charles lll, all Jesuits were expelled from Spanish dominions, accused of plotting to overthrow the State. Even Paraguay, were the famous Reductions were established, feel under the order and by 1768 all of the Jesuits were deported out of the area. After a one-year journey, the Jesuitical Province of Paraguay was exiled into the Pontifical States, between Faenza and Ravenna. First years of exile were very harsh, to such an extent that many of the Jesuits died. To mitigate this drift, whose causes were both material-organizational and spiritual, the role of Domingo Muriel, the last Provincial of Paraguay, stood out. He made efforts, aimed at keeping up the Jesuitical identity among his subordinates. When, in 1773, Pope Clement XIV broke up the Society of Jesus, Muriel drew up a letter outlining a spiritual perspective in view of Society's rebirth. Through this letter and other works, published up to the early Nineties, on the one hand he deepened a spirituality of lgnatian's identity, which had eschatological implications as well as remarkable points of contact with the later lntransigent Catholicism; on the other hand, he succeeded in shaping an image of Paraguayan Reductions which was conducive to its apologetic meaning. In doing this, he also brought together some of his subordinates - fathers Cardiel, Quiroga, Sànchez Labrador, Dobrizhoffer, Peramás and others - that with their works placed themselves on the wake of Muriel in using the image of Paraguayan Reductions to engage at first in the apologetic struggle against Jurisdictionalism, later against the Revolution
Verissimo, Fernanda. "L’impression dans les missions jésuites au Paraguay : 1705-1727." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040187.
Full textTypography was one of the arts and crafts developed by the Jesuits in the Guarani missions of Paraguay in the XVIIIth century. We examine all of the extant books produced in the missions, describing each one and giving a history of their content and of the circumstances of their manufacture. When possible, we compare different copies of the same title, trying to understand how these printing workshops worked. We try to grasp the role of printing in the strategies of the Jesuits around the globe and we examine the beginnings of printing in colonial America and the role of the Society of Jesus in its development
Piciulo, Viviana Silvia. "Les Jesuites américaines expulsés en Italie et Joaquín Camaño (1767-1814)." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0110.
Full textJoaquin Camaño was a Jesuit from Paraguay, who lived in exile in Italy for most of his life from 1767 to 1820. His work and his fame can be considered of smaller importance if compared to many other Jesuits exiled following orders from Carlos III in Emilia-Romagna (1767). Through my search I explore in depth the role of J. Camaño, a smaller character who becomes part of the life of the others expelled through a dynamic "network report" of which he was one of the principal craftsmen. My objective has been to study the impact that these the American Jesuit exiles had, through the life of Joaquin Camaño, on the italian intellectual world, european and american after 1767. Camaño, with his studies, it is inserted in the renewed and vivacious rhetoric of the "Nuovo Mondo" which in those years assumed great dynamism. Born in La Rioja, Argentina, he grew up as a bright cartographer and linguist in the context of the European illustration thanks to his particular life as a missionary. After his expulsion, Joaquin Camaño, together with numerous other American brethren, arrived in Faenza, in the Papal State, devoting himself to the study of cartography and of the American languages. He found his place in a neuralgic moment for the history of linguistics, when direct observation and theoretical reflection of the phenomena were measured with the great human variety which by then were to be found in the world
Acosta, Marcelo Alejandro. "Ad majorem Dei gloriam : espace de Dieu et domaine des hommes : analyse des missions jésuites du Paracuaria (1610 – 1767) à partir de l'archéologie phénoménologique : cas d'étude Nuestra Señora de Loreto (I et II) et San Ignacio Miní (I et II)."

Full textIn this research we try to establish the relation that exists between material culture, symbols and representations used in the Jesuit missions in the Province of the Paraguay (or Paracuaria). Our objective is to understand, from the archaeological record, material transformations and changing perceptions between 1610 and 1767. Urban space organizes social realities and plays a key role in the transformation of environment and society. This materiality also reinforces actions and rituals as new practices and behaviors are introduced and reinforced over time. In this sense, the mission space acquires symbolic dimensions with specific narratives that serve to organise aspects of daily life within the mission structure. Located between the Spanish and Portuguese empires in South America, the Jesuit Province of the Paraguay founded in 1607 was the theatre of conflict for control of the territory. The first missions (Nuestra Señora de Loreto and San Ignacio Miní) were founded in 1610 in present day Brazil. In 1631, the sites were left due to attacks by the Bandeirantes or Portuguese slave holders of São Paulo that attempted to enslave populations of converted Guarani Amerindians. The missions were Jesuit enclaves in an embattled territory and were considered an obstacle to the expansion of the Portuguese crown in South American. In 1631, the missions were moved to temporary locations and then were relocated several times thereafter. These successive changes produced new interpretations of their world and society that we can observe in the material culture record. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we will outline transformations in the organization of mission space and material culture. This will give us a more complete vision of their internal organization. A historical perspective will allow us to establish the relationships between the subjects and their socio-political conditions in the mission settings. We will then see that certain objects played specific roles within defined contexts, which we must understand to establish their precise functions. Finally, we will analyze changes in the material culture from a phenomenological perspective, as this will allow us to deconstruct the narratives and ideologies that impregnates them. This exercise will allow us to establish what we believe to be the essential meaning of these objects and we will interpret their intentionality in transmitting notions of ideology and social practice.
En esta investigación intentamos de establecer la relación que existe entre la cultura material, los símbolos y las representaciones empleadas en las misiones jesuíticas en la Provincia del Paraguay (o Paracuaria). El objetivo es comprender, a partir de la información arqueológica, las transformaciones materiales como también las percepciones entre 1610 y 1767. El espacio urbano organiza la realidad social y juega un rol clave en la transformación del espacio y de la sociedad. Por medio de la materialidad se refuerzan acciones y ritos, como también nuevas prácticas y comportamientos al igual que los nuevos comportamientos que pueden perpetuarse en el tiempo. El tal sentido, el espacio misional adquiere una dimensión simbólica cargada de discursos que organizan a su vez, todos los aspectos de la vida dentro de las misiones. Ubicada entre los dominios de los imperios español y portugués en Sudamérica, la Provincia Jesuítica del Paraguay fundada en 1607 fue el teatro de enfrentamientos por el control del territorio. Las primeras misiones (Nuestra Señora de Loreto y San Ignacio Miní) fueron fundadas en 1610 en el actual Brasil. En 1631, los sitios fueron abandonados debido a los ataques de los Bandeirantes o esclavistas portugueses de São Paulo que atacaron la región para esclavizar los guaraníes ya evangelizados. Las misiones fueron enclaves jesuitas en un territorio en conflicto y fueron consideradas como un obstáculo al expansionismo de la corona portuguesa en el sur del continente americano. En 1631, las misiones fueron mudadas en varios sitios temporarios y posteriormente reubicadas en diferentes oportunidades. Las mudanzas produjeron una reinterpretación del mundo de la sociedad, cambios que podemos observar en la cultura material. A partir de un análisis interdisciplinario podremos establecer las transformaciones en la organización del espacio y la cultura material. Esto nos dará una visión más completa sobre el modelo de organización al interior de las misiones. De otra parte, la perspectiva histórica nos permitirá de establecer las relaciones entre los sujetos entre los sujetos y las condiciones político-sociales en un momento determinado. Con ello veremos que los objetos tuvieron un rol en su contexto, el cual debemos comprender para establecer su función específica. Finalmente, analizaremos los cambios de la cultura material a partir de la arqueología fenomenológica, debido a que ese modelo nos permitirá deconstruir los discursos y las ideologías que impregnan los objetos. Este ejercicio nos permitirá establecer la verdadera esencia de los objetos y su primera intención al momento de comunicar mensajes, ideologías y prácticas sociales.

Full textThis thesis deals with a new problematic : the settlement of the clergy in a marginal society of conquest in America, the Paraguay of the 16th century. This study likes to increase knowledge about the Church's role in Colonial America, few books have been written about the subject. This dissertation will explore several hypothesis. First, Franciscans or Jesuits, the missions lean on a first experience : the conquest of the territory between 1537 and 1580. The action of the members of the clergy, who could have a certain liberty, must have prepared the arrival of the Jesuits. Asunción, which became in 1541 a city and the capital of the region houses also regular clerks. This clerical mix appears clearly in the documents and enables multiple visions of the colonial reality in the 16th century. The clergy is also analysed through its relationship with civil society and indigenous people. Through the study of a corpus of unpublished documents transcribed by us, we analyze the role and the influence of the Church in the first conquest phase of the territory managed from Asunción

Full text18th century Europe already knew about Chinese architecture through the drawings shown on the manufactured goods that had been sent in for long. Since the end of the 17th century, the detailed reports from the Jesuits living in China allowed the introduction of Chinese art into Europe, in a more complete and precise way. We can divide this introduction into three chronological periods: The first one is a period of reject, of misunderstanding due to the superficiality of the sketches about Chinese architecture, represented by Father Louis Le Comte and other first Jesuits in China. The second period shows, to certain extend a better acceptation of Chinese architecture. The presentations done by the Jesuits, although neutral, open the way to an orientalistic wave in Europe. Father Attiret is representative of this period. As soon as his letter is published, in 1747, Europe's interest grows on Chinese gardens, particularly Yuan Ming Yuan. His letter contributes then to the creation of parks and gardens "in the Chinese way" all over Europe. The third period is characterized by the works of Jesuits who stayed in China as long as the second part of the 18th century, mainly those who contributed to the "Mémoires concernant des chinois". Father Cibot is the most brilliant author about architecture, with his theory on the Chinese garden. His translation of a poem by Sima Guang shows the manner used by lettered Chinese people to create their own gardens, while deepens the European people's approach to the subject

Full textThe teaching given in jesuit's schools is rooted both in the medieval tradition of liberal arts and in the renaissance humanism, which the fathers have been able to christianize from the inside. The decisive question they were confronted with, in the eighteenth century, was that of a positive assimilation of enlightenment and new educative theories. Since a long time, the jesuits had taken part in the evolution of ideas and sciences, having been able to fix an intersting correspondance between moral and spiritual formation, and intellectual formation. But they will go on forming the select without really paying attention to a society henceforth deeply changing, since the influence of enlightenment extends itself rights to the catholic parts of southern germany. They seem less open to new teachnings and hold their traditional ways; but these have become obsolete and the fathers loose the position they held, though their methods have kept their original value: there is the paradoxal situation the jesuits haven't been able to overcome before the canonical dissolution of their order in 1773

Full textDuring the XVIIth and the XVIIlth centuries, in Europe, China was a fashionable subject. The social orders, from royal families to common people, devoted themselves to "Chinoiseries". Infatuation was universal. Similarly, the rare European passengers who made the long journey towards China, came back with passionate recites, which fascinated the European readers. These recites, as holders of the culture of an imaginary country, renewed European look, particularly in the field of the landscape and the art of gardens. This thesis aims at clarifying a convergence between Arcadian and Chinese sources in landscape garden in the XVIIith century. We try to analyse some descriptions of Chinese gardens in the letters of the European Jesuits during the XVIIth and the XVIIIth centuries, and to display how these ideas were passed on Europe in XVIIIth century, through the creation of a new style: the English landscape garden

Full textThis study of church and religious life in modern French Guyana starts suring the XVIIth century with the alternation of European domination's, and consequently with pluriconfessional experiences. From 1664, the Jesuits are in charge of all spiritual matters of this colony : toward the colons with few modifications in relation to France; toward the Native Americans first with flying missions and then with settled open missions characterized by their theological adaptability and their centrifuge Christianity; and toward the slaves trying, on the one hand, to educate their own servile population in a Christian charity spirit, and, on the other hand, looking for better conditions of life for laymen's slaves. Thanks to the collaboration between royal and religious authorities, missions are settled in Kourou's area, and then on Oyapock; they are financed with a plantation systeme (habitations), until the expulsion of Jesuits from Guyana (1769)

Iii, and t. Iv), provide useful information on the chinese empire in the 18th century. These letters, which come from beijing as well as provincial capitals or other minor cities, reveal the attitude of missionaries as regards imperiam power. Not only are they indispensable for the awareness of christianism in these regions through the establishment of the catholic church, its development, the persecutions it underwent, but they also provide a unique contribution concerning various features of chinese history : 1) the emperer and his court, the central administration and the army, the local and provincial administration; 2) chinese religions traditions other religions existing in china (islam, judaism); 3) justice, courts and punishment; 4) education and schooling; 5) handcrafts, country life and economic crises; 6) aspects of social life, the organisation and role of the family.

Full textJesuit missionaries gave often extensive accounts on what appears today as being of major interest to anthropologists : war, cannibalism, hunting, burial ceremonies, religious systems, social organisation, etc. The practical purpose of our research is to gain a better understanding of the epistemological and cultural foundations of such knowledge on Savage societies. The Lettres édifiantes et curieuses were a publication which aimed to support missionary work in the Americas, but which also was set to thwart emerging heterodox discourse on the Noble Savage. In this perspective, the Savage world is often mythified given that Jesuit missionaries praise converted Indians' devotion, which they associate to Christian First Church, in the case of the theocratic system of the reductions or in the case of Indian martyrs. Thus, the Jesuits built up their own historiography when growing pressure endangered their doctrinal and political positions in the catholic sphere of Eighteenth Century France

Full textAmong the civilizations Europe had encountered between the 16 th and the 18 th century, China holds a particular place. Jesuit missionaries who entered China in 1583 played a particularly important role in the growth of European knowledge about China. This study focuses on the Chinese sources of this knowledge and the concrete conditions in which it was elaborated, through translations of Chinese texts by one generation of French Jesuits who were active in China between 1687 and the year 1740. Many of these texts were published in the Lettres édifiantes et curieuses (Paris, 1701-1776) and the Description. . . De l'Empire de la Chine et de la Tartarie chinoise (Paris, 1735). The first Chapter focuses on the language learning process, both European and Chinese, oral and written, during which translation often serves as a pedagogical means. The second Chapter concerns the role which translation played in the controversies that undermined the Catholic missions in China at the time, especially the Chinese Rites Controversy. It will be argued that interpretation of Chinese textual authorities was the core issue of this controversy. The third Chapter will focus on one particular translation that claims to be a "dialogue" by an "Atheist philosopher", while the fourth Chapter will turn to others translations related to animals, plants, minerals and "arts". These two chapters examine the context of these translations, the reading and writing strategy adopted by individual Jesuits, and compares the translations to their originals that have been identified. The translation allows us to reflect on the encounter of two cultures of books in its full diversity and complexity

Full textIn the second half of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, Mexican creole intellectuals took an interest in the natural, ancient, and civil history of New Spain. Those authors, some of whom were Jesuits, were separated across the Atlantic by the expulsion of the Company of Jesus (1767), and as a result they wrote from multiple geographic as well as institutional locations. While the expulsion of the jesuits separated them, they remained a network through their epistolary and intellectual exchanges. This study contextualizes their biographical trajectories, avoiding a history of the ideas merely based on their intellectual production such as has been thus far pursued, in particular in relation to the Dispute of the New World. On the other hand, it also avoids reducing the complexity of their intellectual production to its political, proto-national dimension. In what ways do these intellectuals inscribe themselves within the Enlightenment? By privileging the urban scale, this study maps their production of knowledge, engaged in a close dialogue not only with Europe but also with Caribbean America. Through a material and social history of writing practices, this dissertation approaches the political and urban experience of New Spain and Mexico at the end of the colonial period as a lived arena of intellectual reflection. Going beyond the recognition of common themes, such as Mexican patriotism and creole pride, this study attempts to hearken to a plurality of creole voices by paying attention to contrasts and tensions and by studying the relationship between the scholarly activities of those authors and their different political agendas and institutional circumstances

It is based on the analysis of a tragedy, brutus from ch. Poree, a regent at the college louis-le-grand in paris. Following to the translation of the tragedy, the first part underlines the important role given to the theatrical activity in these schools wich is justified by the theorical basis worked out during a long tradition. The second part focuses on the analysis of the differents forms and meanings of the texte: faithful to humanism, the regent clearly refers to antiquity (latin language, latin and greek historiographs, antique poetics and tragics). But as his privileged statute in the institution encourages him to, poree uses this tragedy to express his positions in the century (political, social and religious), using specific esthetic whic allocate a large place to passions

Full textDuring the 17th and 18th centuries, there were regular performances given by Parisian Colleges, the ten belonging to Paris University, and the one held by the Jesuits (College de Clermont, later College Louis-le-Grand), with variable pomp and success, in which music and dance took a significant role. This thesis studies musical practices and dances as part of these performances. A complete catalog of the performances and the preserved sources along with a reconstruction of musical fragments gives an image of the artistic life in these pedagogical institutions in particular and in the Parisian theatrical context of the period. The specific conditions for these performances, the numerous publications (programmes, commentaries, manuscripts, posters, etc.), the actors and their professional environment have been studied. The ballet, with its continuity and prestige, is the subject of the 2nd part of this work. Since the mid-17th century, it holds an important and polemic position within the theatrical performance. The particularities of the college ballet and its century-long evolution are analyzed. The Parisian College Scene appears as a place of multiple assimilations, with actors, chorographic and musical practices from various origins and styles

Full textAs a cultural practice which, by its extent and institutionalization, has contributed to define the specificity of the pedagogical, social and religious investing of Jesuits in the modern era, the theatre offers an interesting prospect to grasp the modalities of a transition between what is sometimes called in the historiography the “old” and the “new” Society of Jesus. The period of suppression in the French context (1762-1814) is integrated into a wider chronological frame which allows to measure the effects of the expulsion of the Jesuit colleges but also and especially the evolutions and the transformations in the long-term time, between France of the Enlightenment and post-revolutionary France. The point of view adopted here has paid a particular attention to describe the stakes and dimensions of Jesuit theatre practice at the time of suppression and in the Jesuit educational institutions under the Restoration in France and to analyze the moral and spiritual speeches of one hand, educational and literary on the other hand, deliver by the Jesuits on the theatre. Thus, the interval of the suppression in theatre history of the Jesuits must be interpreted neither as a suspended time when it would be a question of noticing a simple interruption of the theatrical activity of the Jesuits, with the exception of a few survival islets, nor as a fatal time inaugurating the decline of a school practice. This work then lets glimpse the reality of a “new language” (Michel de Certeau) which it seems develops gradually in the second half of the eighteenth century and which shows of the fact that the “restoration” of the Society of Jesus and its theatrical practice as before in the nineteenth century is finally an illusion

Full textBetween 1677 and 1776, the great latin congregation of Munich used to perform musicaldramas during the Lenten season. These dramas were called Considerationes or « DramaticMeditations » and were intended for the moral edification of their congregation members. The dramas’plot was written by the congregation’s Jesuit priest while bavarian musicians composed the music.This work specifically treats the Considerationes by Franz Lang (1654 – 1725), which wereperformed between 1695 and 1712. As opposed to other meditations, Lang’s Considerationes wereentirely printed in the year 1717. They were brought together in three collections – TheatrumSolitudinis Asceticæ, Theatrum Affectuum Humanorum, Theatrum Doloris et Amoris – and togetherthey consist of about 850 pages of text and over 3000 pages of score.This research firstly explains the existance of this extraordinary source thanks to a precisestudy of the history of the performances which is then put in context with Munich’s musical life at thetime. Then follows a dramaturgical analysis of the Theatrum Solitudinis Asceticæ, which waspostulated by Ignatius of Loyola within the Spiritual Exercises. After a part about the literary work ofLang, my work closes with an analysis of the Considerationes – which were composed by Johannes-Andreas Rauscher, who died in 1702 - regarding musicology. These pieces finally are a noteworthyexample of the « musical Spiritual Exercises »
