Bender, Lucas Rambo. "Du Fu: Poet Historian, Poet Sage." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33493294.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that Du Fu’s (712-770) ascent to the pinnacle of the Chinese literary pantheon was bound up with a revolution in the ways poetry was understood to be a serious endeavor. In Du Fu’s time, poetry had been valued for sustaining a time-transcending ritual institution descended from the ancient sages. Those later critics who placed Du Fu at the center of the poetic canon, by contrast, have generally located the his verse’s “serious” value in its embodiment of admirably accurate and appropriately felt perceptions of the precise historical circumstances that occasioned its composition. Although these latter critics have often claimed great antiquity for this latter vision of poetry’s moral significance, I argue that it was not an intellectual possibility in the Tang, and that it only came to be broadly persuasive when Du Fu’s collection was extensively remade through the addition of commentarial and contextualizing paratexts that were previously unprecedented within the Chinese critical tradition. Placed back into its original intellectual and material context, then, Du Fu’s poetry reads very differently than it has to post-medieval critics.
It was, however, no coincidence that Du Fu was chosen as the center of this radical reinvention of the Chinese poetic tradition. It is possible to trace in the poet’s early collection a process of divergence from the norms of his time, leading ultimately to the creation of a new poetic language that does in fact raise many of the questions that Du Fu’s most influential critics have sought to answer. Yet this new poetic language never fully delivers the reassuring claim that these later critics have seen in his collection: that the good man will always be able to understand and movingly convey the moral truth of his experience. Instead of demonstrating the poet’s apprehension of such natural and given truth, Du Fu’s mature verse dramatizes itself as within the process of seeking for sense, a process that it leaves always open and unfinished.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Hewitt, Anne. "Between God and beast : an examination of the ethical and political ideas of the poet, Pindar, the historian, Thucydides, and the philosopher, Aristotle." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2004. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1762/.
Full textAbstract:
Through an analysis of the work of the poet, Pindar, the historian, Thucydides, and the philosopher, Aristotle, this thesis builds on the conception of man as a creature between god and beast in an attempt to develop a sense of the kinds of thought and language that are appropriate for political theorising. It discusses an understanding of political theory that is based on the human capacity for reasonable, creative action. In this, it opposes another model of political theorising, one that has been collapsed under a scientific model that judges itself successful only when it yields precise and definitive answers to dilemmas that grow out of a contingent and indeterminate world. I have argued that man's good, his potential to become a responsible and flourishing actor, is realised through attentive and reflective political experience. This experience is not 'raw', acquired alone by passively 'absorbing' whatever man perceives to be the case in pursuit of his individual whims. It is instead guided, shared, interpreted, evaluated, and demanding. The texts I have chosen serve to supplement direct political experience. Pindar's odes - their elliptical language and use of metaphor, their juxtaposition of seemingly mutually exclusive characteristics in men - demand effort on the part of an audience/reader to cultivate the capacity to derive meaning from culturally-situated complex ideas and images. Thucydides' description of the war through a 'fragmented' perspective, his examples of the kinds of reasoning that precede decisions, point to a perspective that seems to argue that agents should develop the kind of character that can creatively balance a general conception of what man is as a species with the relevant concrete details of a situation and proceed to act accordingly. That man is a species with a fixed good is one of Aristotle's fundamental assumptions, and leads to his conviction that ethics and politics are inherently imprecise. I discuss how he defends this position and its consequences as elaborated in the Nicomachean Ethics and Politics. I then attempt to show how what he has to say in the Poetics realises and supplements his ethical and political goals. The Poetics indicates that men must learn to extract sound generalisations by drawing inferences from disparate actions, to transform mistakes into valuable aspects of life, and be able to carve out the proper, dynamic, realm of responsibility. This generates a conception of man whose good goes beyond mere preference satisfaction but instead grows out of a reasonable (general) sense of what he is which can be used creatively in the specific (concrete) circumstances he confronts.

Airas, A. (Aino). "Historian museo Turkuun." Master's thesis, University of Oulu, 2016. http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:oulu-201606012074.
Full textAbstract:
Diplomityöni aihe on historian museo Turkuun. Aihe pohjautuu todelliseen projektiin, mutta on tekijän itsenäisesti laatima suunnitelma uudeksi museorakennukseksi. Suunnittelupainoitteinen työ sisältää rakennussuunnitelman ja selostusosan. Tekstiosuus käsittää tonttivalintaa pohjustavan analyysin sekä tarkemman analyysin valitun tontin lähiympäristöstä ja siten lähtökohdat rakennussuunnittelulle.
Tarkoituksenani oli suunnitella helposti lähestyttävä museo, joka voisi toimia Suomen ja Turun historian museona sekä tarjota alustan kiertäville näyttelyille. Valitsin tontiksi pysäköintikenttänä toimivan alueen Turun linnan pohjoispuolelta, vanhalta satama-alueelta. Suurin osa alueen varasto- ja teollisuusrakennuksista koostuvista kortteleista on jo kaavoitettu uudelleen asuin- ja liikekäyttöön. Sijoittamalla museon tälle alueelle pyrin tukemaan satama-alueen kaupunkikuvallista muutosta ja lisäämään alueen vetovoimaisuutta tulevaisuudessa. Läheinen matkustajaterminaali takaa museolle hyvän näkyvyyden varsinkin matkailijoiden silmissä.
Laadin museon tilaohjelman Turun museohankkeessa mukana olevien tahojen toiveiden pohjalta. Noin 4000 neliöinen museorakennus käsittää lähinnä yleisölle suunnattuja tiloja. Tilat on ryhmitelty niin, että ensimmäisessä kerroksessa sijaitsevat kaikki yleisön vapaasti käytettävissä olevat toiminnot. Pyrin näin helpottamaan lipunmyyntiä ja ennen kaikkea madaltamaan kynnystä poiketa museoon muutenkin kuin katsomaan näyttelyä.
Museoon saapuminen tapahtuu Linnankadun puolelta puistomaisen sisäänkäyntiaukion kautta. Olen pyrkinyt näin luomaan yhteyden Linnanpuiston ja uuden museon välille, jättäen kuitenkin tarpeeksi etäisyyttä historialliseen maamerkkiin.

Karamanoglu, Sema. "One Historian Two Books: Beatriz Colomina." Master's thesis, METU, 2013. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12615519/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore selected works of Beatriz Colomina, a revisionist architectural historian who has made influential studies on visuality, domesticity, media and gender, and their reflections in the architectural world. Colomina is a distinguished architectural historian since she places a new lens on a period when architecture ceased to be only for the elite and media has gradually penetrated into everyone&rsquos life in order to understand how architecture became accessible to the public through media and how this has affected the perception of modern architecture. This new lens entailed not only the inseparability of media and architecture but also how war and domesticity featured in this relationship. Against this background, this study attempts to investigate the innovative approach of Beatriz Colomina by comparing and contrasting her two prominent books: Privacy and Publicity: Modern Architecture as Mass Media (1994) and Domesticity at War (2007). The former introduces us to the relationship between architecture and media, whereas the latter exemplifies this relationship by focusing on the cold war period as a time where media became an integral part of the domestic environment. This study aims to extract Colomina&rsquo
s contribution to architectural history by first disentangling and analysing and then merging these two books under common themes. In doing so, it seeks to answer the following questions: What is the role of archives in Colomina&rsquo
s methodology in writing these two books? What is the relationship between the document and the historian that emerges from this methodology? What common themes can be extracted from these two books as an analytical framework in order to better understand and study Colomina&rsquo
s approach? What differentiates her as a historian from other historians of modern architecture, specifically from Siegfried Giedion and Kenneth Frampton? What messages does Colomina give her reader through the form as well as the content of her books? What is her contribution to architectural historiography?

Full textAbstract:
Pro gradu -tutkielman aiheeksi valikoitui oppikirjat, koska ne ovat olleet merkittävä työväline opettajalle jo vuosikymmenien ajan. Oppikirjat ovat historian opetuksessa isossa roolissa, koska historia on hyvin kertomuksellinen oppiaine. Työn tavoitteena oli selvittää millaista keskiaikakuvaa WSOY:n historian oppikirjojen tekstit ovat rakentaneet 1980-, 1990- ja 2000-luvuilla. Tutkimus on kuvatutkimus, jonka metodina on käytetty diskurssianalyysiä. Tutkimuksen toinen tärkeä tavoite oli selvittää millaisten diskurssien kautta keskiaikakuvaa rakennetaan.
Tutkielman teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu neljästä osa-alueesta. Ensimmäisessä osassa täsmennetään kuvatutkimuksen käsitettä, sekä sen roolia osana tutkielmaa. Toisessa osiossa esitellään lyhyesti keskiaikaa historiallisena aikakautena. Kolmannessa osassa kuvaillaan erilaisia keskiaikakuvia, joita aikakaudesta on esiintynyt. Teoreettisen viitekehyksen viimeisessä osassa määritellään tarkemmin oppikirjaa kirjallisuuden lajina, sekä oppikirjan käsitettä.
Tutkimukseni on laadullinen tutkimus, jonka menetelmänä on käytetty diskurssianalyysiä. Litteroin kaikki tutkimuksessa käytettyjen kirjojen tekstit taulukkoon, jonka pohjalta analysoin kirjan leipätekstin ja otsikot. Analyysissä ensiksi luokittelin tekstejä, jonka jälkeen lähdin erittelemään niissä esiintyviä diskursseja.
Aineistosta nousi esiin neljä päädiskurssia, joiden puitteissa keskiaikakuvaa rakennetaan. Nämä diskurssit olivat ihannoinnin, ankeuden, hengellisyyden ja vallan diskurssit. Päädiskurssien sisälle muodostui uusia aladiskursseja. Diskurssien vuorovaikutuksen yhteydessä syntyi uusia diskursseja, jotka vaikuttivat aiheesta syntyvään kuvaan merkittävästi. Kirjojen keskiaikakuva oli erityisesti 1980-luvulla hyvin synkkä. Keskiaikaa käsiteltiin laajempana kokonaisuutena 1990-luvun ja 2000-luvun kirjoissa, minkä seurauksena keskiajasta nousee esiin myös enemmän positiivisia puolia. Vallan ja hengellisyyden diskurssit loivat merkittävät puitteet, joiden kautta keskiaikaa käsitellään.
Diskurssianalyysi on hyvin kontekstisidonnainen ja tutkijakohtainen menetelmä. Tutkija tekee havaintonsa aineiston kautta, mutta hänen oma kokemusmaailmansa vaikuttaa tehtyihin havaintoihin. Tutkimus on tehty voimakkaasti aineistoon nojaten, joka on diskurssianalyysin luotettavuuden kannalta tärkeää. Kirjoista tekemäni havainnot ovat sidonnaisia tähän kirjasarjaan, mutta ne osaltaan toimivat huomautuksena siitä, että oppikirjojen tekstien sisältöä ei tule ottaa itsestäänselvyytenä.

Nesta série de ensaios interdependentes sobre Murilo Mendes, buscamos iluminar diferentes aspectos de sua obra, em especial aquela produzida na Itália, onde o autor se fixou de 1957 até sua morte, em 1975. O fio implícito que liga estes ensaios é a indagação sobre a sua relação com o repertório da cultura ocidental, elemento destacado tanto em sua poesia quanto na prosa. Relação esta que o distingue de outros escritores modernistas, uma vez que, para Murilo Mendes, não se tratava de contrapor uma cultura à outra, mas de formar um conjunto único, em que as diferenças não assumem posição hierárquica, nos moldes, por exemplo, de uma equação centro-periferia. A metáfora do colecionador, que guia o primeiro ensaio, é utilizada como uma chave que permite analisar sua prosa-inventário da tradição ocidental. O surrealismo à brasileira do autor, tema de outro ensaio, mostra o modo peculiar como Murilo absorveu as vanguardas do início do século XX. E o seu projeto universalista é tratado no terceiro capítulo. Os textos que compõem este estudo procuram, assim, acercar-se dessa obra por meio de uma escrita ensaística, conforme definição de Adorno, em que os vários pontos se entrelaçam como em um bordado. Escrita marcada pelo experimento, mais do que pela busca de um pensamento sistêmico e conclusivo.
This is a series of interdependent essays on Murilo Mendes which focus on different aspects of his work, particularly the texts he wrote in Italy, where he lived from 1957 until his death in 1975. The thread that implicitly runs through these essays is his relationship with the Western cultural repertoire, an aspect that stands out in both his poetry and his prose. Indeed, it is this that differentiates him from other Modernist writers. Murilo Mendes was not interested in setting one culture against another, but in uniting them in such a way that their differences were not represented hierarchically, such as center versus periphery. The metaphor of the collector that appears in the first chapter serves as a key for analyzing his body of prose from the Western tradition. His Brazilian-style surrealism is the object of another essay that discusses the particular way he incorporated the European vanguards of the early twentieth century. The third chapter is about his universalism. Overall, this study seeks to address the work of Murilo Mendes using the essay form as defined by Adorno, where points in the different texts interweave like a tapestry. The style is more experimental than strictly systematic or conclusive in its thinking.

A interpretação do Poema de Parmênides tradicionalmente tem como fontes Platão, Aristóteles e os neoplatônicos. Recentemente as questões lógicas e filológicas relacionadas ao verbo ser vem atraindo atenção não só de comentadores da filosofia antiga como Charles Kahn, mas também da filosofia analítica a partir dos críticas de Frege e Russell. Nesta dissertação, utiliza-se como eixo interpretativo os textos de Gorgias e Melisso sobre o ser, considerando a hipótese de que como estes pensadores desenvolveram os seus trabalhos em uma época mais próxima a Parmênides do que Platão e Aristóteles as suas interpretações nos fornecem uma leitura mais aproximada do sentido inicial do Poema. A partir da apresentação dos diversos sentidos do verbo ser pela filologia e das formulações de Kahn, será investigado o ser nas formulações de Melisso, Górgias comparando-o com o ser de Parmênides.
Plato, Aristotle and the Neo-Platonists have traditionally been considered to be the main sources for interpreting Parmenides The Poem. However, in the last century, the logical and filological dilemmas regarding the concept of being have begun to draw the attention of other scholars seeking more precise interpretations of The Poem, such as ancient philosophy commentator Charles Kahn and analytical philosophers Frege and Russell. In this paper I will argue that philosophers Gorgias and Melisso offer a more accurate interpretation of the concept of being discussed in Parmenides original text. Consequently, it will also be shown that in order to understand precisely The Poem, it is necessary to focus on the interpretations drawn by the two pre-Socratic philosophers supra-cited regarding the Poem, rather than to emphasize on the analysis made by Plato and Aristotle. The main reason supporting this argument that will be presented is that the works of such pre-Socratic philosophers were written in a time period much closer to the one of Parmenides than the works of Plato and Aristotle were. In order to build my argument I will first analyze the filological meanings of the concept of being. Then I will scrutinize the formulations of this concept as Kahn presents them. After that, I will examine the formulations of the concept of being in the works of both Melisso and Gorgias. Finally, I will compare and apply all of these formulations and meanings to Parmenides original text, and therefore conclude my argument.

Full textAbstract:
There exists between lyric poetry and music a bond that is at once tangible and grounded in practice, and yet that is indeterminate, a matter of perception as much as theory. From Graeco-Roman antiquity to the modern day, lyrical forms have brought together music and text in equal partnership: in archaic Greece, music and lyric poetry were inextricably (now irrecoverably) coupled; when lyric poetry flowered in the eighteenth century, composers harnessed text to music in order to create the new and fully integrated genre of Lieder; and in our contemporary age, the connection between word and music is perhaps most keenly felt in pop music and song 'lyrics'. In 2016, the conferral of the Nobel Prize for Literature on Bob Dylan brought to wider public attention the nature of lyric's poetical-musical bond: can Dylan be considered a poet if the meaning, syntax and expression of his words are dependent upon music? Is music supplementary to the words or are the two so harnessed that the music is in fact a facet of the poetic expression? The connection between music and poetry is perfectly clear in such integrated lyric forms as these, but a more indeterminate connection can also be felt in 'purely' musical or poetic works - or at least in the way that we perceive them - as our postRomantic, adjectival use of the word 'lyrical' shows. Describing music as lyrical often suggests that it carries an extra-musical significance, a deeply felt emotion, something akin to verbal expression, while a lyrical poem brings with it an emotive aurality and a certain musicality. Text and music of lyrical quality may, therefore, invoke the other for the purpose of expression and emotion so long as our understanding of lyric forms remains conditioned by the appreciation of an implied music-poetry relationship This thesis works within the overlap of music and poetry in order to explore the particular lyric voice of Catullus in the context of his twentieth-century musical reception. Whilst some of Catullus's poems may have been performed musically, what we know of poetry circulation, publication and recitation in first-century BCE Rome suggests that the corpus was essentially textual. Nevertheless, Catullus's poetry was set to music centuries later, not in reconstruction of an ancient model, but in new expression, suggesting not only that composers of the twentieth century found themes in Catullus's poetry that resonated in their own contemporary world but that they found a particular musicality, something in the poetry that lent itself to musical form. I argue that it is in these works of reception that we can most clearly identify the essence of Catullan lyricism. Moreover, by considering the process of reception, this thesis is able to take a broader view of lyric, identifying traits and characteristics that are common to both music and poetry, thus transcending the boundaries of individual art forms in order to consider the genre in larger, interdisciplinary terms.

Garcia, Quesada George Ivan. "Karl Marx : historian of social times and spaces." Thesis, Kingston University, 2017. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/40677/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis systematizes the role of the categories of social space and social time in the diverse phases of Karl MArx's philosophy of history, emphasizing his decisive rupture with the Enlightenment evolutionist conception of World-History in and after his 1856 'Grundrisse'. Marx's conception of social forms, rather than stages, as historical totalizations enables him to clarify essential spatio-temporal issues for his theory of history, such as multilinearity as well as combined and uneven development, thus contributing to the explanation of concrete socio-historical problems. This argument is framed by a critical engagement with Paul Ricoeur's philosophy of history, as elaborated in his 'Memory, history, forgetting'. Hence after the first chapter problematizes current Marxist and post-Marxist scholarship on the categories of socio-historical space and time, the second chapter investigates the Marxian ontological foundations of history, which in turn direct us towards the historical ontology of capitalism. The final three chapters draw on the critical realist philosophies of Roy Bhaskar, Andrew Collier and Andrew Sayer, in order to reveal Marx's understanding of the epistemological phases of history. The third chapter looks at Marx's theory of hsitory, which constructs historical explanations by mediating between concepts at an abstract level and empirical evidence at a more concrete level. The role of abstraction is fundamental to this phase, as it differentiates between 'modes of production' and 'social formations'. The fourth chapter examines Marx's archive and his use of source material, analyzing his critical method, his treatment of biases in his archive, and how his explanations stand up against recent investigations using other sources. The fifth and final chapter discusses the problems of spatio-temporalizing the literary form of historiographical presentation ('Darstellung'). Here the elaboration of Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the 'chronotope' through Ricoeur's concept of emplotment and Hayden White's theory of tropes enriches the analysis of Marx's strategies of presentation. This is evident at the level of both a mode of production and actual social formation, namely their respective roles in relation to historical knowledge and politics. The analysis of the different phases of Marx's philosophy of history in this thesis thus possesses a normative dimension: it has the potential to spatio-temporalize the philosophy of history in general and social scientific methodology in particular - although this is not systematically developed in Marx's historiographical narratives.

The thesis deals with relations between History and Literature to reflect the being and Recife as a city. Study about the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto through his book Morte e Vida Severina , written in 1954, which is a dramatic poem that approaches the tough life of the people from the Northeast Brazil and its social and historical aspects. In his literature, João Cabral mixes the historical moment to biographical elements in order to achieve an identity as a poet, he deals with images and facts, and consequently he can t consider poetry without History. Thus, the comprehension of João Cabral poetry depends on the comprehension of the historical moment, since the text dialogs constantly with concepts as culture and space. This research analyzes the connection between History and Literature, in order to show the poetry as a reflection of time and memory. This study uses a literary composition as its main source to investigate the Pernambuco society through the 50 s. Maybe this is the way to contribute to overcoming the ever-growing gap that separates the dream-like landscapes from daily life´s
A presente dissertação faz uma articulação da História com a Literatura, numa reflexão do ser e da cidade do Recife. Tem como objetos de estudo o poeta João Cabral de Melo Neto e sua obra Morte e Vida Severina - Auto de Natal Pernambucano , de 1954, poema dramático que nos conduz ao fluxo do rio da vida severina e nos leva a refletir sobre questões sociais e históricas que procuram levantar um retrato das condições e dos problemas do homem nordestino. Ler a lógica de uma obra literária é um modo de ligar-se a uma realidade histórica e, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecer os processos biográficos e a busca da identidade do poeta João Cabral. Seu trabalho com a palavra se faz na construção das imagens e dos fatos, pois não existe para ele poesia sem os acontecimentos e sem História. Assim, a abordagem do contexto histórico que origina a obra literária se coloca como compreensão da própria obra. Poesia com a qual se estabelece um diálogo constante, na perspectiva de pensar conceitos importantes como espaço e cultura. Analisa-se, ainda, a junção entre história e literatura, evidenciando-se que a palavra poética apresenta tempos e memória. Neste caso, a pesquisa propõe um novo olhar histórico que se utiliza de uma obra poética como fonte. Pondera, também, uma obra literária como percepção crítica e histórica da sociedade de Pernambuco dos anos 50. Talvez este seja um caminho possível de contribuir para a superação do desvão que separa as paisagens de sonho

McDowell, Stacey. "Keats and the chameleon poet." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.654573.
Full textAbstract:
The 'chameleon poet' is a phrase immediately associated with Keats. Although he only used it once in a letter written early in his poetic career, the phrase has since gained currency in literary criticism and it now invokes a familiar set of assumptions about Keats and his works. My thesis offers a recontextualized understanding of the idea of the chameleon poet by showing how the phrase, rather than being a whimsical and idiosyncratic idea of Keats's own coinage, was in common currency during the nineteenth century, and how the seemingly unlikely analogy between a poet and a chameleon has several antecedents in earlier works. Not only has the chameleon been compared to poets, playwrights and actors, but the creature has been used in a figurative sense to describe a form of self endowed with . the ability to change. By tracing Itne literary heritage of the chameleon, I show how the model of self Keats embraces for the poet has more negative and troubling associations than Keats' s letter acknowledges. While a chameleon-like model of self offers positive attributes of responsiveness and changeability, more commonly the creature is referred to in a pejorative sense to register anxieties about the instability of identity, lack of integrity, capriciousness and duplicity. Having traced the literary context of the chameleon poet, I outline how Keats' s particular use of the phrase has been interpreted in literary criticism. I identify a tendency in scholarly responses to criticise the chameleon poet for its implicit amorality or apathy, or to explain away the idea on the basis that Keats in his poetry does not exemplify the model he set out for himself. However, as I aim to make 'clear in my discussion of Keats's poetry, by exploring ideas about transformation and disguise, sympathetic responsiveness, hypocrisy and the stability of selfhood, Keats's works reveal him engaging in a self-reflective manner with implications directly relevant to a chameleon-like model of .poetic self. By first identifying how Keats differs from the usually negative' interpretation of chameleon changefulness, I show that while Keats embraces the idea of a chameleon-like poet in his letter, his poetry reveals a more circumspective approach in which he registers the consequences that such a model entails.

Full textAbstract:
Memnon a écrit une histoire locale, celle de sa cité d’origine, Héraclée du Pont, colonie mégarienne située en mer Noire. Sa chronique est conservée en partie grâce aux fragments, plus ou moins consistants, résumés dans la Bibliothèque de Photius. Ce dernier nous a transmis seulement une partie de l’œuvre de Memnon, puisqu’il ne rapporte que les faits contenus dans les livres IX à XVI qui couvrent une période allant des années 60 du IIIème siècle aux années 40 du Ier siècle av. J.-C. avec, cependant, une grosse lacune entre le milieu du IIIème siècle et l’arrivée des Romains. Le texte a fait l’objet d’un commentaire historique détaillé qui met en lumière les incohérences du récit et les événements pour lesquels Memnon constitue notre seule source. Cette recherche se propose également de dégager la méthode historique de Memnon à travers l’étude des thématiques récurrentes dans le texte et l’analyse de l’ordre chronologique des événements. Il est évident que l’intervention de Photius a des incidences sur l’organisation chronologique initiée par Memnon mais il semble néanmoins que la méthode de l’historien d’Héraclée a, dès l’origine, dénaturé la chronologie des faits qu’il rapporte. De surcroît, l’analyse du texte a permis de dégager les objectifs de Memnon, lequel tente de raviver le passé glorieux d’Héraclée et de dénoncer les excès de la domination romaine, en particulier envers sa cité d’origine. L’auteur de l’Histoire d’Héraclée reste méconnu mais il me semble qu’il faut situer son activité littéraire dans la seconde moitié du IIème siècle de notre èreMemnon wrote a local history, the one of his native city, Heraclea Pontica, megarian colony located in the Black Sea. His chronicle is partially preserved thanks to fragments, more or less substantial, summarized in Photius’ Library. The latter passed on to us only a part of Memnon’s work, since he related only the facts contained in books IX to XVI, which cover a period from the 60’s of the third century to the 40’s of the first century BC., but with a big gap between the mid-third century to the arrival of the Romans. The text was the object of a detailed historical commentary which highlights the inconsistencies of the story and the events for which Memnon is our only source. My research also aims to identify the historical method of Memnon through the study of the recurring themes in the text and the analysis of the chronological order of events. It is obvious that Photius’ intervention has incidences on the chronological organization initiated by Memnon, nevertheless it seems that the method of the historian of Heraclea has distorted from the start the chronology of events he related. Furthermore, analysis of the text allowed to identify the objectives of Memnon who tries to revive the glorious past of Heraclea and to denounce the excesses of the Roman rule, especially to his city of origin. The author of the History of Heraclea remains unknown but it seems to me that his literary activity should be placed in the second half of the second century AD

Full textAbstract:
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan WSOY:n kansakoulun oppikirjojen esittämää kuvausta sisällissodasta vuosina 1918–1972. Työssä toteutetaan kriittistä diskurssianalyysia, jossa korostuu aiheen käsittelyn poliittinen, ideologinen ja yhteiskunnallinen painoarvo. Aihetta on tutkittu paljon, mutta tämän tutkielman metodit poikkeavat hieman muista tutkimuksista. Tavoitteena on ollut analysoida oppikirjojen kielellisiä valintoja osana vallassa olevia opetussuunnitelmia sekä poliittista tilannetta. Tutkielma vastaa kysymyksiin: miten oppikirjat esittävät sisällissodan, ja miksi tämä tehdään näin?
Tutkimusaineistona ovat WSOY:n kansakoulun oppikirjat, jotka sisältävät sisällissodan kuvausta. Virallista luetteloa painetuista kirjoista ei ole löytynyt. Aineisto on hankittu käyttäen Oulun yliopiston kirjaston sekä etenkin Kansalliskirjaston tietokantoja. Oppikirjoista on tutkittu sisällissodan kuvauksen lisäksi mahdollisesti sisältöä valottava johdantoluku. Valokuvat, kuvat ja kartat on myös rajattu tutkielmasta pois. Tutkittavia kirjasarjoja on viisi kappaletta ja oppikirjojen painoksia on yhteensä 49 kappaletta. Tutkittavaan aineistoon kuuluvat myös opetussuunnitelmat, joita tutkittavalta ajalta on Maalaiskansakoulun opetussuunnitelman komiteamietintö (1925) ja Varsinainen kansakoulun opetussuunnitelman komiteamietintö (1950). Näiden tarkastelu keskittyy pääasiassa historian esittelyyn ja siihen, seuraavatko oppikirjojen sisällön muutokset opetussuunnitelmia.
Oppikirjojen analysointi on tapahtunut erittelemällä teksti osiin. Oppikirjojen sisällissodan esittelyä on tutkittu näiden osittelun kautta siten, että tekstin lauseet on jaoteltu näihin kategorioihin kuuluviksi. Näin tekstistä on saatu tietoon osa-alueiden frekvenssit sekä käsittelytapa. Aineistosta on eritelty pääsubjektit, joita ovat valkoiset, punaiset, venäläiset ja Suomi. Pääsubjekteja on analysoitu vielä tarkemmin erittelemällä niiden käsittely omiin kategorioihinsa. Pääsubjektien esiintymistiheys sekä käsittelytapa ovat analyysin kannalta merkityksellisiä.
Sisällissodan jälkeiset oppikirjat toteuttivat voittajien mukaista vapaussotatulkintaa, jossa punaisista luotiin rikollisuuden ja valkoisista järjestyksen sekä laillisuuden mielikuvaa. Poliittiset tekijät vaikuttivat kirjoittajien motiiveihin. Jokainen oppikirjan tekijä painotti hieman eri syitä sodan aloituksessa. Toinen maailmansota lievensi hyvin vähän oppikirjojen esittelemiä viholliskuvia. Ennen sotaa ilmestyneiden oppikirjojen sivuilla tapahtui selvä muutos vasta jatkosodan jälkeen. Rauhanehtojen julkaisun sekä oppikirjojen sensuuria seuraavan toimikunnan jälkeen tekstejä oli pakko muuttaa. Sisällissodan esittely muuttui säyseämmäksi sekä viholliskuvia tasoittelevaksi. Uudemmat oppikirjat sisälsivät sen sijaan eriävää sodan kuvausta. Tämä osaltaan vesitti opetussuunnitelmien painottamia ohjeita sekä kyseenalaisti opetushallinnon oppikirjojen hyväksymisen kriteerejä.
Tutkielmassa käytetty kriittinen diskurssianalyysi soveltui asetettuun tutkimustehtävään hyvin. Teksteistä esiin kerätyt osa-alueiden ja pääsubjektien frekvenssit auttoivat analyysin tekemistä. Oppikirjojen sisällön muuttuminen tuli näin selvästi havaittavaksi ja selitettäväksi. Tutkimustulokset muistuttavat kriittisen ajattelun ja lukutaidon merkityksestä myös nykyaikana.

Full textAbstract:
Historian oppikirjoilla on merkittävä asema ihmisten historiakuvan ja sitä kautta maailmankuvan muodostamisessa. Tutkielmani tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten ja millä tavalla Otavan vuosina 2003–2004 julkaisemat alakoulun historian oppikirjojen kuvat rakentavat ihmiskuvaa ja ihmiskunnan edistyskertomusta. Lisäksi tarkastelin, millaiseksi ne rakentuvat. Samalla pohdin, millaisia mielikuvia ne mahdollisesti katsojassa herättävät. Oppikirjatutkimuksessa päähuomio on ollut lähinnä kirjojen teksteissä eikä niiden sisältämiä kuvia ole tutkittu laajasti. 2000-luvulla julkaistut historian oppikirjat sisältävät paljon erilaista kuvamateriaalia, joten niiden tarkasteleminen on siten perusteltua.
Tutkielmani kaksi metodia ovat kuvatutkimus ja narratiivinen analyysi, joiden avulla tutkin ihmiskuvan ja edistyskertomuksen rakentumista. Toisessa luvussa esittelen keskeiset käsitteet, maailmankuvan, historiakuvan ja ihmiskuvan. Samassa luvussa määritän oppikirjan sekä kuvan käsitteet ja kerron, miten tässä työssä kuvia on analysoitu. Nämä käsitteet muodostavat tukielmani teoreettisen viitekehyksen. Kolmannessa luvussa käyn läpi tutkimusprosessin ja miten sovellan narratiivista metodia tukielmassani.
Analysoin historian tuulet 1–2-kirjasarjan historian oppikirjoista kaikki kuvat, jotka esittivät ihmistä jollakin tavalla. Tutkielmani ulkopuolelle jäivät siten kartat, tilastot, kaaviot, sarjakuvat ja esineitä esittävät kuvat. Vielä rajauksen jälkeenkin kuvia oli analysoitavana yhteensä 160. Tarkastelin aineiston Excel-taulukossa, johon asetin tutkimani kuvan ja sille asetetut tutkimuskysymykset.
Tarkastelemistani oppikirjojen kuvista on nähtävissä varsin selkeä edistyskertomus ihmiskunnan historiasta. Ne rakentavat tarinaa, jolla on alku ja loppu. Kirjojen viimeisten teemojen kuvat kuitenkin luovat mielikuvan siitä, että kertomus ei lopu, vaan edistys jatkuu tulevaisuudessa. Ihmiskuva liittyy olennaisesti tähän edistyskertomukseen ja niiden molempien analysointi oli siten perusteltua. Tutkin työssäni, miten ihminen kuvataan ja muuttuuko ihmisen olemus edistyskertomuksen myötä. Tarkasteltaessa ihmiskuvaa, heijastuivat siinä eri aikakausien tapahtumat ja ilmiöt. Tuloksena oli, että ihminen näyttäytyy oppikirjojen kuvissa kekseliääksi, yhteistyökykyiseksi, mutta lukuisten sotien ja valloitusten seurauksena silti varsin sotaiseksi olennoksi.
Kuvan tulkitseminen on aina riippuvainen katsojasta ja millaisia asioita hän kuvassa näkee. Kuitenkin kuvien sisältöjen tutkiminen ikonografisen menetelmän avulla tarjoaa hyvän ja selkeän metodin, jonka avulla saadaan selville keitä kuvassa on ja mitä siinä tapahtuu.

Full textAbstract:
As part of an AHRC-funded interdisciplinary research project, ‘Identification of the Scribes Responsible for Copying Major Works of Middle English Literature’, this thesis re-examines the late medieval poet Thomas Hoccleve in the context of his career as a clerk of the Privy Seal and the history of the late medieval English government administration. Through identification of Hoccleve’s handwriting, it has been possible to search for all the extant documents produced by him for that office now in the National Archives. The evidence drawn from these documents is used to contribute towards a more complete chronology of the poet’s life, and the circumstances under which his poetry was written. Firstly, Hoccleve is used as a case study through which to examine the development of the late medieval English government administration and civil service, and the changing nature of its staff during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century. Secondly, Hoccleve’s major work, the Regiment of Princes, is examined in the context of his role as a royal clerk, and the proliferation of Middle English political and didactic texts during this period. Finally, the impact of Hoccleve’s use of Anglo-French in official documents and Middle English in his poetry is considered in the context of the mutual culture of influence existing between the two languages. These different approaches to the documentary evidence are used to illustrate the impact of Hoccleve’s position at the Privy Seal on the form and content of his literary work.

Baumstark, Moritz. "David Hume : the making of a philosophical historian : a reconsideration." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/3265.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is concerned with the exploration of the interconnections between philosophy and history in David Hume’s work and seeks to provide a reassessment of his remarkable transition from metaphysical philosopher and polite essayist to philosophical and narrative historian. The first part of the thesis puts forth a detailed reappraisal of Hume’s intellectual preoccupations and literary pursuits in the crucial but neglected period 1748-1752, a period that witnessed Hume’s tour of several European courts in 1748, his intensive reading of the classics and his engagement with Montesquieu’s new system of socio-political analysis. These years saw a decisive shift in Hume’s thinking about human nature that resulted in an increasing emphasis on its historicity. It is argued that this helps to explain his growing insistence on the necessity of accounting for the varied manifestations of human nature in different historical periods by a reconstruction of the social, political and economical conditions of past societies as well as their customs, manners and belief systems. It is furthermore argued that Hume’s new holistic view of past civilisations found its expression in a number of diverse pieces which can be read as fragments of a cultural history of classical antiquity and contain an important agenda for a new kind of cultural history. The second part of the thesis considers the significance of this thinking for Hume’s plans for a large-scale work of modern British political history. The discussion is focussed on the History of Great Britain under the House of Stuart (1754-56) and pays particular attention to his intentions as a political historian. It is shown that the success of his work depended largely on his skill in raising his readers’ ‘interest’ and his adeptness in conveying his own ‘impartiality’ as a historian. It is argued that Hume’s achievement can best be understood through an in-depth analysis of his innovative appropriation of a narrative device that had already been used by many historians from Thucydides to Rapin-Thoyras, the set-piece political debate, which Hume employed as the main device for explaining the emergence of a mixed British constitution. The thesis thus offers a fresh interpretation of the relationship between Hume’s concept of philosophical history and his aims and techniques as a narrative historian and seeks to contribute to our understanding of the trajectory of his intellectual and literary career as well as the profound transformation of historical writing in the High Enlightenment.

Full textAbstract:
Historian pro gradu -tutkielmani aiheena oli tutkia millaisen kuvan suomalaiset lukion historian oppikirjat vuosilta 1982–2006 välittivät Yhdysvalloista. Tärkeimpänä tutkimusongelmanani oli selvittää, mitä ja millä tavoin Yhdysvaltojen historiasta kerrottiin ja miksi näin tehtiin. Keskeistä oli selvittää, miten maailmanhistorian suuret murrokset, kuten maailmansodat, kylmä sota ja kansainvälinen terrorismi heijastuivat oppikirjoihin. Päälähteeni muodostui kahden suuren kirjakustantamon Otavan ja WSOY:n lukion historian oppikirjoista. Tärkeä menetelmä oli myös vertailla edellä mainittujen kustantamoiden kirjojen käsittelytapaa keskenään.
Oppikirjoissa kuvattiin Yhdysvaltojen kehitystä siirtomaasta talousmahdiksi ja suurvallaksi, sen roolia kylmän sodan toisena osapuolena sekä sen omapäistä toimintaa kansainvälisen terrorismin leimaamassa maailmassa. Kirjojen välittämä kuva oli pääsääntöisesti objektiivinen, joskin voimakkaan yksinkertaistettu johtuen niiden suppeudesta. Yhdysvaltojen historiasta välittyneessä kuvassa on havaittavissa tiettyjä, pitkään säilyneitä piirteitä, mutta myös muutoksia. Vanhemmat tapahtumat ovat joutuneet väistymään toisten, historian uudempien käänteiden tieltä.
Yhdysvaltojen historian käsittelyyn vaikutti luonnollisesti maailmanhistorian murroskohdat. Eri vuosien oppikirjoissa painottuivat siten eri asiat. Kylmän sodan aikaisissa 1980-luvun oppikirjoissa kerrottiin verrattain paljon kahden supervallan, Yhdysvaltojen ja Neuvostoliiton välisestä suhteesta ja sen kehityksestä. Kylmän sodan päättymisen seurauksena oli nähtävissä muutos siinä, miten kirjat kuvasivat Yhdysvaltoja. Esille nousivat nyt kylmän sodan aikaisten konfliktien epäkohdat ja ongelmat, joita Yhdysvallat osaltaan aiheutti. Samalla käsiteltiin enemmän valtion sisäisiä tapahtumia, mutta vastaavasti Yhdysvaltojen varhainen historia ja supervaltasuhteet jäivät vähemmälle huomiolle. Epäkohtien ja ongelmien käsittelyn seurauksena välittyi erityisesti uusimmista oppikirjoista jopa negatiivinen kuva Yhdysvalloista ja sen harjoittamasta politiikasta.
Opetussuunnitelmat ohjasivat vielä 1980-luvulla huomattavasti tarkemmin oppikirjojen sisältöä. Sen sijaan 1990-luvulta lähtien niistä tuli vain suuntaa antavia ohjeistuksia. Kirjoihin alettiinkin nostaa enemmän uusia tärkeinä pidettyjä teemoja, kuten populaarikulttuuria, ympäristöasioita ja ihmisoikeuksia.

Full textAbstract:
Claudian the poet: poetology, myth, and story-telling The poetry of Claudian has, until recently, been studied principally for the historical information it provides for the late fourth century AD; less attention has been paid to interpreting its poetics, on account of the persistent distaste for the late antique style which has been condemned for its episodic structure and 'baroque' ornamentation. This thesis responds to the failure to examine the poetry through detailed literary analysis, and proposes a method for reading the poetry of Claudian based on the approaches developed by Roberts (1989). It argues that it is the poetics which are used to promote a political agenda in support of Claudian's patron Stilicho. I propose a reading which recognizes that the individual episodes, from which the poems are constructed, unite on an overarching level; in particular, I demonstrate that elements such as mythological images, descriptions and characterizations serve as key signifiers for that level and should be privileged rather than dismissed as ornamentation. This approach reveals the way in which the story-worlds constructed in the poems promote the political agenda which corresponds to the overarching level. The story-worlds created from these significant elements provide a platform on which contemporary events and characters can be (re)performed in order to propagate a particular version of 'real life', corresponding to the agenda of Stilicho. Using story-telling techniques, Claudian constructs a poetic universe under threat from chaos, and defended by a hero, Stilicho, against monstrous enemies. Claudian also manipulates his audience's expectation that poetry is a deceptive artifice. By making metapoetic references to the power of poetry and the poet's ability to deceive, he breaks down the 'fourth wall' between his story-world and the audience's experience of 'real life'. This brings the poetic monsters and heroes flooding into the audience's lives, and turns the story-world into another version of political reality.
