Payne, Matthew. "Aberration and criminality in Senecan tragedy." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/16476.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis tackles the pervasiveness of aberration in Senecan tragedy. Aberration infects all aspects of the drama, and it is deeply entwined with Senecan criminality. In my introduction, I define my terminology of the aberrant, and I discuss a series of ongoing scholarly debates on the tragedies, showing how understanding the aberrant in Seneca's dramas can shed new light on these questions. In Chapter 1, I examine the relationship between the language of crime in the plays, tracing the Latin words for crime back to their instances in Republican Roman tragedy and other genres and seeing how Seneca uses and develops this language of crime, creating an unstable fuel for his dramas. In Chapter 2, I consider Seneca's paradoxes. I consider not only verbal manifestations but all the different paradoxes that appear in the dramas: visual paradoxes, paradoxes of infinity, thematic paradoxes, intertextual paradoxes and more. Paradox is not merely a formal feature of Seneca's writing but integral to the structure of each play. Paradox becomes Seneca's means of transforming linguistic aberration into thematic aberration. In Chapter 3, I argue that Senecan landscapes are not just verbal artefacts. Seneca describes his anomalous spaces in ways that connect with how space and place was experienced in Roman culture. Seneca's aberrant spaces give us buildings that are bigger on the inside than the outside and bodies that explode with the emotions within them. In Chapter 4, I probe aberrant behaviour, by considering the ambiguous characters of Hercules and Thyestes. I expand our focus to incorporate Roman notions of appropriate behaviour, reading the dramas and De Beneficiis as reflecting wider socio-cultural concerns, and I question common assumptions about the thematization of theatricality in Senecan tragedy. In both Hercules Furens and Thyestes, crime skews and twists the situation, rendering apparently ethical behaviour aberrant.

Coral, Jordi. "The subjectivity of revenge : Senecan drama and the discovery of the tragic in Kyd and Shakespeare." Thesis, University of York, 2001. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/13995/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis re-examines the relationship between Senecan drama and the emergence of the public tragedy of the 1580s and '90s. In criticism, this relationship has been understood as a continuation of the 'influence' Seneca had been exerting on the Universities and the Inns-of Court since the 1560s. This thesis challenges this established view on the grounds that it fails to explain the innovativeness of the public tragedies: the formative impact of Seneca could not be the same on conventional academic authors as on creative public dramatists. Chapter I of this thesis explores and formulates this unresolved problem. Challenging the established view depends on the possibility of a Seneca who could offer a tragic vision alternative to academic moralism. Chapter II is concerned with showing that the plays ofthis Seneca dramatize not moral certitudes but tragic contradictions - the 'tragic' Seneca is made possible by an unstable conception of the individual - who is simultaneously individual and social, or individual because social. The privileged tragic expression of this ambiguous selfhood is revenge. Essentially, this thesis attempts to demonstrate that Senecan revenge so understood was fundamental to the earliest masterpieces of public revenge tragedy, The Spanish Tragedy and Titus Andronicus, and that Kyd's and Shakespeare's new treatment of revenge was facilitated by a rediscovery of Senecan tragedy as opposed to Senecan sensationalism. Chapters III and IV (on The Spanish Tragedy) and Chapter V and VI (on Titus Andronicus) attempt to show that this recognition has been impeded by the inadequate notion of revenge that has dominated modem criticism. Founded upon the orthodox pieties that Kyd and Shakespeare challenge, much of this criticism has obscured the distinctiveness of the Senecan avenger as against the Machiavel. This thesis conceives the would-be a-social Machiavel and the highly-socialized avenger in opposition to each other, but in order to reveal the inescapable social condition of the individual in both cases. At its moment of inception public revenge tragedy appears as a synthesis of tradition and modernity, social commitment and individual endeavour.

Full textAbstract:
Seneca’s contribution to the development of Western European theatre and conceptions of theatricality has been underestimated in comparison to that of Greek tragedy. This thesis argues for the continuous importance of Senecan drama in theatrical theory and practice from the sixteenth century until the present day. It examines significant instances of Seneca in performance, and shows how these draw on particular aspects of Seneca’s style and dramaturgical technique to coalesce into a sub-genre of tragedy termed here ‘hypertragedy’ or the ‘senecan aesthetic’. The underlying premise of this representational mode is that verbal (vocal) performance is a physical act and induces physical responses. This entails the consequential inference that Senecan theatre is not mimetic – that is, based on an isomorphic identification of character with performer – but rather affective; like oratory, it functions through direct, quasi-musical manipulation of the auditor’s senses. The goal of this theatrical form is to articulate extreme states of mind or experiences which cannot be conveyed via conventional mimetic means: pain, frenzy, dissolution of the self. In tracing the theories of tragedy which comprise a narrative contrapuntal to the reception of Seneca onstage, it is possible to identify the factors which have successively constructed, promoted, suppressed, reviled and finally reinstated the senecan aesthetic as philhellenism’s other.

Tomando como base teórica os Estudos da Recepção de Clássicos, esta pesquisa de mestrado centrou-se durante três anos na tragédia latina Medeia, de Sêneca, incluindo sua tradução em português e uma análise abrangente de aspectos retóricos, para identificar elementos que se tenham provado elos permanentes na cadeia de recepção de peças de teatro da Antiguidade clássica. Esta investigação assumiu como textos mediadores nesse intervalo de vinte séculos tanto o repertório shakespeariano como o Teatro da Crueldade de Antonin Artaud, sendo que ambos foram em alguma medida apropriados por dramaturgos do século XX como Heine Müller, Sarah Kane e Ted Hughes. Todos os três se voltaram para Sêneca antes de escrever suas respectivas peças Medeamaterial, Phaedras Love e Senecas Oedipus, que também foram objeto deste estudo.Taking into account the concepts of the Reception Studies of Classics, this three-year long Masters Degree investigation centered on Seneca\'s Medea Latin tragedy, including its translation into Portuguese and a thoroughly analysis of rhetorical aspects, in order to identify elements which have proven themselves as permanent links into the Reception chain of Ancient theatre plays. This research took as mediating texts in this 20th century span transmission net William Shakespeare\'s repertory and Antonin Artaud\'s Cruelty Theatre, both of which have in some extent been appropriated by 20th century playwrights such as Heiner Müller, Sarah Kane and Ted Hughes, the three of them having gone back to Seneca before setting up their Medeamaterial, Phaedra\'s Love and Seneca\'s Oedipus plays, respectively, which also make up the corpora of this study.

Full textAbstract:
The following thesis is an examination of the way Seneca constructs Phaedra, the main character of an eponymous tragedy. It aims to prove that the tragedian uses a mixing of mainly two literary genres, tragedy and elegy, and it analyzes the way the elegiac genre is transformed so it can fit this new generic hybrid. Seneca finds inspiration for the elegiac topoi in Ovid's love poems. The author uses the recurrent elegiac convention involving a soft man, the lover, and a dominant woman, the beloved, but he reverses this literary tradition: Phaedra becomes the lover while Hippolytus becomes the beloved. Besides a series of elegiac topoi such as fiery love metaphors, servitium amoris or symptoms of love, Seneca also deals with the erotic hunting. Roman love elegy often associates the lover, the feeble man, with a hunter, while it represents the beloved, the dominant woman, as his prey. In Phaedra, Hippolytus, a true hunter, becomes an erotic prey, while the female character takes on the role of the erotic predator, which causes the young man's tragic death.Dans ce mémoire de maîtrise on examine la manière dont Sénèque construit Phèdre dans la tragédie portant le même nom. On prouve que pour créer son personnage, le tragédien romain mélange deux genres littéraires : la tragédie et l'élégie. On analyse aussi la façon dont Sénèque altère le genre élégiaque afin qu'il puisse créer un nouveau genre littéraire hybride. L'auteur trouve son inspiration pour les topoi élégiaques dans les poèmes érotiques ovidiens. En dépit de l'utilisation d'une convention élégiaque par excellence qui concerne la relation entre un amoureux, un homme faible, et une bien-aimée, une femme forte et dominante, Sénèque inverse ces éléments et Phèdre devient l'amoureux, tandis qu'Hyppolite se voit attribué le rôle du bien-aimé. À part une série de topoi élégiaques comme les métaphores érotiques du feu, le servitium amoris ou les symptômes de l'amour, le tragédien emploie aussi le lieu commun de la chasse érotique. L'élégie romaine associait très souvent l'homme faible à un chasseur et la femme forte à sa proie. Dans Phèdre, Hippolyte, un vrai chasseur, devient une proie érotique, tandis que le personnage féminin prend le rôle du prédateur, ce qui mène le jeune homme à une fin tragique.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the Epistulae Morales Seneca presents his moral philosophy. Scholars such as Hadot, Mans and Smuts have studied Seneca's moral philosophy in the Epistulae Morales. The question is, how does Seneca present and develop his moral philosophy in the Epistulae Morales, i.e. what literary technique does he use? Scholars have pointed out that Seneca's use of the epistolary form is an integral part of this literary technique. The epistolary form was an ideal medium for conveying his moral philosophy: "[Seneca] presented himself as a spiritual guide, and for that purpose he made use of the literary form of letters ... In this form Seneca was able to give a detailed presentation of the course of moral education" (Misch 1950:419). The more specific question is thus: how does Seneca use the epistolary form to present and develop his moral philosophy in the Epistulae Morales? In order to answer how Seneca employs the epistolary form, it is necessary to understand what Seneca's goal was with the Epistulae Morales. I suggest that the goal of Seneca's moral philosophy in the Epistulae Morales is the development of a practical moral identity. Seneca's choice of the letter as the form of his philosophical discussion enabled him to create certain fictional personae. The three main personae of the Epistulae Morales are the Ideal Persona (the embodiment of Seneca's moral philosophy), the persona Seneca and the persona Lucilius. These personae demonstrate the phases of moral progress. The Ideal Persona is the ideal, which the personae Seneca and Lucilius must strive towards becoming. The persona Seneca acts in the role of the mentor, advising the persona Lucilius on how to achieve this ideal, but he is himself still struggling towards it. The persona Lucilius is just beginning to walk the road of moral progress at the beginning of the Epistulae Morales. The phases of moral progress, which are enacted by the three personae, are also the phases of the development of a practical moral identity. The practical moral identity should thus be viewed both as a goal and as a process in the letters. Epistulae Morales 1-29 form a separate whole, as scholars have pointed out. These letters also supply sufficient evidence of Seneca's literary technique of developing a practical moral identity in the Epistulae Morales. A close reading of Epistulae Morales 1-29 in Chapter 2 analyses this literary technique. Chapter 3 involves a systematic exposition of the practical moral identity in terms of certain themes. The themes represent the main aspects of moral development, i.e. the main aspects of the development of a practical moral identity in Epistulae Morales 1-29.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die Epistulae Morales bied Seneca sy morele filosofie aan. Vakkundiges soos Hadot, Mans en Smuts het Seneca se morele filosofie in die Epistulae Morales bestudeer. Die vraag is egter, hoe ontwikkel Seneca sy morele filosofie in die Epistulae Morales, m.a.w watter literêre tegniek gebruik hy? Vakkundiges het daarop gedui dat Seneca se gebruik van die briefvorm 'n integrale deel van hierdie literêre tegniek uitmaak. Die briefvorm was 'n ideale medium om sy morele filosofie weer te gee: "[Seneca] presented himself as a spiritual guide, and for that purpose he made use of the literary form of letters ... In this form Seneca was able to give a detailed presentation of the course of moral education" (Misch 1950:419). Die meer spesifieke vraag is dus: hoe gebruik Seneca die briefvorm om sy morele filosofie in die Epistulae Morales te ontwikkel? Om hierdie vraag te beantwoord, is dit nodig om te verstaan wat Seneca se doel met die Epistulae Morales was. Ek stel voor dat Seneca die ontwikkeling van 'n praktiese morele identiteit ten doel gehad het. Seneca se gebruik van die briefvorm het hom in staat gestel om sekere fiktiewe personae te skep. Die drie hoof personae van die Epistulae Morales is die Ideale Persona (die verpersoonliking van Seneca se morele filosofie), die persona Seneca en die persona Lucilius. Hierdie personae verteenwoordig die fases van morele ontwikkeling. Die Ideale Persona is die ideaal, wat Seneca en Lucilius moet nastreef. Seneca speel die rol van mentor. Hy gee Lucilius raad oor hoe om hierdie ideaal te verwesenlik, maar hyself streef ook daarna. Die Epistulae Morales open met Lucilius aan die begin van sy morele ontwikkeling. Die fases van morele ontwikkeling wat deur die drie personae opgevoer word is ook die fases van die ontwikkeling van 'n praktiese morele identiteit. Die praktiese morele identiteit moet gesien word as beide 'n doel en 'n proses in die briewe. Epistulae Morales 1-29 vorm 'n afsonderlike geheel, soos deur vakkundiges uitgewys is. Hierdie briewe verskaf voldoende bewys vir die literêre tegniek waarmee die praktiese morele identiteit in die Epistulae Morales geskep word. 'n Gedetailleerde analise van Epistulae Morales 1-29 in Hoofstuk 2 analiseer hierdie literêre tegniek. Hoofstuk 3 gee 'n sistematiese uiteensetting van die praktiese morele identiteit in terme van sekere temas. Die temas verteenwoordig die hoof aspekte van morele ontwikkeling, m.a.w. die hoof aspekte van die ontwikkeling van 'n praktiese morele identiteit in Epistulae Morales 1-29.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the ways in which literature creates therapeutic spaces in which to do personal thinking. By a combination of literary analysis and practical experimentation this thesis seeks to provide a contribution to the relation of the reading of literature to the practice of psychology. It argues that literature has a vital role to play in the real world, whilst insisting that the methods of close literary analysis and literary thinking are preserved. Chapter one establishes the relationship between Stoicism and certain modern day psychological therapies. It offers an analysis of the Roman philosopher Seneca's letters in relation to the tragedies that preceded them. These texts are usually studied in isolation whereas this thesis identifies places of overlap and exchange between the two literary forms. Chapter two explores the work of the sixteenth-century essayist Michel de Montaigne, focussing on his valuable modification of Stoicism into what we might today recognise as an individual model of personal psychology and self-exploration. Chapter three examines Wordsworth's relationship to Seneca and considers the poet's transformation of Stoic thought into a philosophy of restorative transmutation. This chapter sets out what is meant by 'literary thinking' in relation to Wordsworth's poetry and argues for its practical, therapeutic value in the world. Chapter four consists of two reading experiments which test the interpretations made within the previous chapter on modern readers. Experiment A compares reader responses to a newspaper article with responses to extracts from Wordsworth's poetry. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of data collected suggests that, in certain cases, the poetry triggered more active reading, greater emotional focus, and higher levels of imaginative uncertainty. Experiment B examines the effects of sustained personal engagement with one of Wordsworth's longer poems. Analysis of diaries written over a period of two weeks by a group of participants suggests that, in certain cases, the poetry encouraged blended forms of thinking and stimulated readers to shift out of default modes. Chapter five examines the therapeutic model that is contained within George Eliot's realist novels, rooted to her reading of Wordsworth, Feuerbach and Spinoza. A third experiment, based upon a letter-writing task, tests whether/how her fiction can trigger significant thinking capacities in modern readers, such as the capacity for perspective taking. The thesis concludes by consolidating its vision of a literary-based form of therapy and discussing the implications for future research. It argues that the therapeutic potential of literature is specifically related to its ability to encourage the blending, widening, repositioning and reappraisal of thoughts.

Seneca's Apocolocyntosis is a sat.ire on the deceased emperor Claudius. probably written in the early months after his death in AD54. Although the authorship and title of the work have been called into question. scholars have now reached a consensus that the sat.ire was written by Seneca and is titled "Apocolocyntosis." Its purpose, characteristic of the Menippean genre, was didactic.

Moahi, Refilwe M. "Women's Advancement in Francophone West Africa: A Comparison of Mali and Senegal." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/256.
Full textAbstract:
This research begins to explore what political tools are necessary to elevate women’s position in society by transforming legislation. Women in Francophone West Africa do not enjoy certain basic rights and there is need to improve their status. The promotion and appointment of women to the position of prime minister, Mame Madior Boyé in Senegal in 2001 and Mariam Kaidama Cissé Sidibé in Mali in 2011, gives us hope that women-friendly agendas will be given priority. I pose the question: Did the appointment of these two women to the heads of their respective governments improve the status of women and their political representation in West Africa? There is existing research that suggests that more women in government increases the visibility of women’s issues. I argue that simply having women in positions of power is not sufficient; participation in informal politics and civil society is imperative. These women have to go into the position with a commitment to women’s issues and a willingness to work with the already existent networks of women’s associations dedicated to furthering women’s rights. I study the successful passage of a new woman-friendly constitution in Senegal. In particular, I look at each participant’s role in making this happen, the associations who pushed for reforms for many years, the reformist president Wade, and Boyé who was a founding member of one of the central women’s associations, the Association of Senegalese Female Legal Practitioners. I compare this with the unsuccessful signing of new family code in Mali. I discuss the disinterest and indecisiveness of the president and Sidibé, as well as the influence of the strong opposition from the conservative High Islamic Council. There are also institutional barriers to change, namely the pluralist legal system of customary law, Islamic law, and state law. Finally, I discuss other possible reasons for the differences in these two countries’ results, such as Senegal’s longer history of democracy and general acceptance of modernity and women’s rights.

Já na literatura latina, encontram-se referências ao mito de Agamêmnon, no Egisto de Lívio Andronico, na Clitemnestra de Ácio, na Eneida, de Virgílio, nos poemas, A arte de Amar e Metamorfoses de Ovídio e nas tragédias, Agamêmnon, Troianas e Tiestes de Sêneca. Nessa pesquisa, mostrar-se-á como as obras mencionadas recontam o mito de Agamêmnon e como Ésquilo e Sêneca, ao escreverem as suas tragédias, ambas intituladas Agamêmnon, apoderam-se dessa tradição literária. Analisar-se-á as partes do mito que foram colhidas dessa tradição pelos tragediógrafos e se tentará mostrar algumas particularidades dos tragediógrafos influenciados por um contexto social, ao recontar esse mito, na tentativa de apresentar uma comparação entre os textos quanto ao processo de recriação mítica feito por Ésquilo e Sêneca.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo examinar a construção da espacialidade nos textos dramáticos de Sêneca, As Troianas e Agamêmnon. O espaço é considerado como uma categoria fundamental no teatro, desse modo, ao se especificar a configuração dessa categoria e a sua repercussão na obra, é possível constatar a teatralidade do texto e referendar seu status junto ao gênero. A partir de referenciais contemporâneos são abordadas as peças, as quais reiteram a estruturação do texto para o espetáculo, com peculiaridades que apontam para uma estética dramática senequiana, a qual influenciou a constituição do teatro ocidental. As tragédias senequianas não são monolíticas assim como não o é o gênero dramático.
Abstract: The present research aims to examine the spaciality construction in Seneca's dramatic texts, Trojan women and Agamemnon. Space is considered a fundamental category in theater, and it is possible to substantiate text theatricality and to authenticate its status with genre, through specifying the configuration of this category and its repercussion on the work production. The plays are approached from contemporary references, and they reiterate text organization to the spectacle with particularities to Seneca's dramatic esthetics, which influenced western theater constitution. Seneca's tragedies are not monolithic and neither is the drama genre.

Full textAbstract:
Daß die Rhetorik für die Literatur und Wissenschaft der Frühen Neuzeit von größter Bedeu-tung ist, gehört seit langem zum Grundbestand der Forschung. Trotzdem ist praktisch keine der großen Rhetoriken dieser Zeit in einer neuen Ausgabe oder gar Übersetzung zugänglich. Die vorliegende Ausgabe ist ein erster Schritt, dieser unbefriedigenden Situation Abhilfe zu verschaffen, indem sie Philipp Melanchthons Elementa rhetorices zum ersten Mal in einer kritischen Ausgabe und Übersetzung zur Verfügung stellt. Neben den De copia verborum ac rerum des Erasmus sind Melanchthon Elementa rhetorices wahrscheinlich das meistgedruckte Lehrbuch des 16. Jahrhunderts. 1531 zum ersten Mal erschienen und bis 1539 mehrmals überarbeitet und erweitert, erscheinen sie bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts in über hundert Ausgaben. An zahllosen Schulen und Universitäten im protestantischen Raum war ihre Lektüre für Generationen von Schülern Pflicht, die Dichter des 17. Jahrhunderts sind mit ihr zur Schule gegangen. Die vorliegende Ausgabe ist nicht nur die erste kritische Ausgabe des Textes, sondern auch die erste vollständige Übersetzung. Die bisher unbekannten Varianten der Ausgaben 1531, 1532 und 1536 sind in einem Variantenverzeichnis erfaßt. Der teilweise schwer zugänglichen Text wird durch einen umfangreichen Kommentar, ein Nachwort und ein Glossar erschlossen. Dabei wird nicht nur der Text selbst in der Form wiedergegeben, in der er dem Leser des 16. Jahrhunderts vorlag, sondern auch der den Elementa rhetorices ursprünglich beigegebene Anhang. Dieser Anhang umfaßt neben drei Briefen von Seneca und Plinius d. J. vor allem die "Gegensätzlichen Briefe" Giovanni Picos della Mirandola und Franz Burchards, einem Schüler Melanchthons. Burchard übernimmt hier die Verteidigung der Rhetorik gegen den über fünfzig Jahre zuvor geführten, scharfen und spöttischen Angriff Picos della Mirandola, der schnell zu einer gewissen Berühmtheit gelangt war. Melanchthon hielt die Verteidigung Burchards nicht nur der Aufnahme in sein Lehrbuch für würdig, sondern verfaßte auch umfangreiche, interpretierende Marginalien zu beiden Briefen. Indem diese Marginalien von den Herausgebern der Gesamtausgabe von Melanchthons Werken nicht aufgenommen wurden, bietet die Ausgabe mit diesen Marginalien auch die erste Edition eines bisher unbekannten Textes.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I investigate the ways in which the phenomenon of racial and cultural hybridity inform and alter the social, political and cultural fabric of three creole cities of significant colonial influence, namely Saint-Louis of Senegal, Saint-Pierre of Martinique and Jérémie of Haiti during and after the colonial era. In particular, I examine the relevance of the French colonial city not only as a nexus of relational complexity but also as an ambiguous center of attraction and exclusion where multiple identities are created and recreated according to the agendas that influence these constructions. In order to articulate the main hypotheses of my thesis, I explore the key historical and social catalysts that have led to the emergence of Saint-Louis, Saint-Pierre and Jérémie as original creole cities.
Through the critical analyses of contemporary literatures from Senegal, Martinique and Haiti by Fanon, Sadji, Boilat, Mandeleau, Confiant, Chamoiseau, Salavina, Bonneville, Moreau de Saint-Méry, Desquiron, and Chauvet and films by Deslauriers and Palcy, I illustrate the dynamics of creolization within the context of the French colonial city. I argue that the city engenders new narratives and interpretations of métissage that scholars have often associated with the enclosed space of the plantation.
My dissertation intends to prove that the three French colonial cities of Saint-Louis, Saint-Pierre and Jérémie offer distinct interpretations and practices of processes of cultural and ethnic métissage. I propose that a correlation albeit a dialectical one, exists between the development of the French colonial city and the emergence of the mulattoes as a distinct class, conscious of its economic, sexual and political agency. I suggest that the French colonial city, represents both a starting point and a space of continuity that permits new forms of ethnic and cultural admixture. The articulation of such mixtures is made evident by the strategic positioning and creative agency of the mulatto class within the colonial city.
The phenomenon of métissage is certainly not a novel subject as evidenced by the plethora of theories and studies advanced by scholars and intellectuals. My research is thus part of an existing critical literary corpus in Postcolonial and Francophone Studies and is inscribed within the theoretical framework of Creolization. My research observes from a historical, comparative and literary perspective, metis presence and consciousness in three specific spaces where colonial authority has been imposed, challenged, resisted and even overpowered (in the case of Haiti). My study therefore analyses the creative agency articulated by the metis ethnoclass in the colonial city and counters the claim of a passive assimilated group.
As an in-between group, mulatto’s access to social, economic and political upward mobility are impeded by their ambiguous positioning within the larger community. Consequently, they resort to unconventional means that I refer to rather as creative ingeniousness in order to survive. Scholars usually focus on these “unconventional” practices as immoral rather than as strategies of self-reinvention and revalorization. As a result, representations of cultural and ethnic interconnections and hybridity are often projected in fragmentary ways. The figure of the metis women for example is overly represented in studies on métissage while metis men receive very little attention. My thesis thus intends to decenter narratives on métissage from the women and implicate equally the creative agency of metis males.
My thesis expands on the complexities that inform processes of métissage during pre-colonial Saint-Louis in the early seventeenth century, Saint-Pierre from the period 1870-1902 and Jérémie during the dictatorship of Francois Duvalier. It examines further the city as a space that engenders new narratives and interpretations of the processes of creolization. Processes of métissage or creolization have often been described as the results of violent encounters that were colonial and imperial. Moreover, these clashes were inscribed within the enclosed space of the plantation.
The city, representation of European pride and greed is an ambiguous space that attracts even as it excludes. Projected as an active commercial, economic and cultural hub, the city is soon engulfed by mass emigration. That site where the European image and culture is imposed, quickly evolves into a complex and chaotic web of human and material interaction giving rise to a complex creolized atmosphere. I propose that practices of métissage in the city are distinct from those generated in the belly of the slave ships, in the trading houses of Sub-Saharan Africa and on the sugar plantations of the French Antilles.
I conclude with a look at the present context of métissage, I rethink the significance of racial and cultural hybridity in relation to contemporary cultural and social theories such as creolization, creoleness, and transculturation in articulating, interpreting and decoding a world in constant transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Many critics consider Mariama Bâ as a feminist writer, but the reader of her two novels might wonder what characterizes her work as such. Therefore, the aim of each chapter, in order of appearance, is to analyze first the genres, then the elements of African tradition and Western modernity, the characters of both works and the themes of the novels, with the intention of defining the author's feminism, which takes its source in dichotomies, paradoxes and contradictions. In order to expose the author's point of view on the condition of women, it appears important to situate the diegesis in its context. Also, the study is supported by references on the Senegalese culture, by genres, narrative and feminist theories and by critiques on the work itself.

Full textAbstract:
In 1763, France had just suffered a devastating loss to the British in the Seven Years' War. In almost an instant, France's claims to West Africa shrank to the tiny island of Gorée off the coast of Senegal and a few trading posts on the mainland. This drastic reversal of fortunes forced France to reevaluate its place in the world and rethink its overall imperial objectives and colonial strategies, and in an effort to regroup, the French Empire sent a new governor, Pierre François Guillaume Poncet de la Rivière, on a mission to regain its foothold in West Africa. From this tiny island, France eventually succeeded in overturning its devastating losses and establishing itself as the dominant force in the region over the next two centuries, so deeply ingraining its influence into the core of West Africa that its imperial influence is still felt today.Despite France's future success, Poncet's tenure as governor was fraught with mismanagement and poor planning. Poncet believed he had the full backing of the Duc de Choiseul, but Poncet's excessive zeal, inability to effectively employ and listen to subordinates, and rash interactions with the British undermined the French presence in the region and ultimately led to his dismissal. Poncet's governorship sheds new light on Choiseul's goals for the Senegambia region and his underestimation of what it took to establish a strong presence.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis consists of five chapters: the first functions as an overture; the second, third and fourth deal with Plato, Cicero and Montaigne respectively; and the fifth raises some questions. The overture explores the ways in which Odysseus, Lucretius and Seneca approached death, and in the process introduces some obvious distinctions - between death viewed as the act of dying and death viewed as the state of being dead, between the death which comes to everyone and the death which comes to me, between our own death and the death of others - and anticipates certain recurring themes. The second chapter, on Plato, is concerned chiefly with the Phaedo and the question of what is involved in "the practice of death". This entails an examination of related concepts and terminology in the Gorgias and the Republic, and of the whole subject of Platonic myth. The third chapter discusses Cicero's views on death and immortality - both the considered reflections of the philosopher and the spontaneous reactions of the bereaved father - principally as these emerge from the Tusculan Disputations and the letters to Atticus. The fourth chapter approaches Montaigne - his own experiences of death, the relationship between his earlier and later approaches, the tension between his professed Catholicism and his pagan inclinations, the difficulty and perhaps undesirability of extracting a 'message' from the Essais on this or any other subject. The conclusion asks to what extent these various approaches succeed in what they set out to do, and whether any generalised, objective approach to death can ever successfully address the individual predicament, either in relation to one's own death or in facing bereavement.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to illuminate Seneca’s criticisms of Neronian Rome through a novel exploration of the philosopher’s collection of moral letters – the so-called Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium. Noting the glaring absence of court politics in these letters the thesis identifies themes of dissimulation and veiled criticism, penned by Seneca in a concealed manner to ensure his safety during a time of dire political unrest. The first chapter establishes the cultural context of this collection by examining how they fit in with the practice of elite Roman letter writing. This line of inquiry stems from a longstanding question in the scholarship as to whether the Epistulae Morales are letters in the earnest sense, or merely a literary-philosophical exercise contrived by Seneca. The chapter concludes that the letters can be seen as genuine, exchanged with their addressee. They were, however, also written for the wider senatorial class who are clearly the subject of Seneca’s moral discussions. The second chapter examines the circumstances which preceded the writing of these letters in order to identify points of political tension under Nero’s reign. Drawing on the Neronian books of Tacitus’ Annals and earlier Senecan treatises, this chapter identifies themes of political ideology (clemency, libertas, tyranny, superbia) which shaped the ongoing altercations between senate and emperor during Nero’s rule. With the political tensions identified, the third chapter unearths the underhanded ways in which Seneca criticises Nero’s reign throughout the letters. Additionally, this chapter showcases a range of techniques employed by Seneca to disguise his criticisms in order to maintain deniability and avoid persecution. The fourth and final chapter examines Letters 14 and 18 in detail, illustrating the techniques discussed in the preceding chapter and bringing to light Seneca’s veiled criticisms of Nero’s regime. The pair of case studies demonstrates that Senecan criticisms are present throughout the collection, and are apparent in both letters with overt political themes (eg. Letter 14) and those which are, at first glance, seemingly mundane and commonplace (eg. Letter 18).Thesis (MPhil) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2021

Full textAbstract:
Seneca, De Providentia. Ein Kommentar.
De Providentia ist ein fiktiver Dialog, den Seneca mit dem als Adressaten seiner Epistulae Morales bekannten Freund Lucilius führt. Im Verlauf dieses "Dialogs" versucht Seneca seinem Freund und Schüler die Frage nach dem Leid, das dem vir bonus widerfährt, obwohl die Welt von der göttlichen providentia gelenkt wird, zu beantworten. Es handelt sich also um das Theodizeeproblem, das Seneca hier auf der Basis einer Frage des Lucilius zu lösen versucht, die im Verlauf des Texts 7-mal wiederkehrt, jeweils dem Gedankenfortschritt angepasst oder ihn auch manchmal bewirkend.
Der Kommentar besteht aus zwei Teilen, einem fortlaufenden in Form einer interpolierenden Paraphrase, und einem Einzelkommentar, in dem die während der Arbeit angefallenen Einzelbeobachtungen gesammelt sind. Unter interpolierender Paraphrase verstehe ich dabei eine behutsame Paraphrase, in der besonders die bei Seneca oft unklar bleibenden logischen Verknüpfungen hergestellt werden sollen. Dazu ist es oft nötig, andere Senecastellen zur Erklärung zu benutzen.
Ich habe in der Regel auf das Heranziehen weiterer Quellen verzichtet. Denn die Überlieferungslage, vor allem der philosophischen Quellen, ist zum großen Teil desolat, und Seneca selbst hält – in epist. 84 – ein Werk dann für besonders gelungen, wenn man die zahlreichen darin eingeflossenen Quellen nicht mehr erkennen kann, weil sie nahtlos in den eigenen Text übergegangen sind.
Dies ist der erste deutschsprachige Kommentar zu De Providentia. Er unterscheidet sich von den vorhandenen Kommentaren in italienischer1 und englischer2 Sprache dadurch, dass in ihm der Verlauf des gesamten Texts in den Blick genommen wird. Insofern stellt er eher eine Strukturanalyse dar, wie sie schon von Grimal3 und Abel4 vorgelegt worden ist. Grimal hat später selbst gesagt5, dass es sich bei seiner Arbeit mehr um die Bemühung um den Aufriss handle, der sich an die Regeln der zeitgenössischen Rhetorik halte, während Abel eine Untersuchung der Tiefenstruktur vorgenommen habe.
Man kann meinen Kommentar als eine auf der Untersuchung Grimals basierende Strukturanalyse verstehen, die den Gedankenverlauf des Senecatexts nachvollzieht und sich dabei mit den von Abel zu De Providentia präsentierten Thesen auseinander setzt.

Full textAbstract:
The anthology of the elder Seneca (c. 55 BC - c. 39 AD) contains quotations from approximately 120 speakers who flourished during the early Empire. The predominant tendency in modern scholarship has been to marginalize these speakers and the practice they represent (declamation): they are regarded as a linguistic and literary monolith, and their literary productions while recognized as influential are treated as discrete from those of other, "serious" authors. The present dissertation challenges this viewpoint by focusing on the following questions: To what extent can a speaker quoted in Seneca's anthology be said to have a distinct and unique literary identity? What is the relationship of a speaker, as represented by his quotations, relative to canonical texts?
Since most of the quoted speakers are found exclusively in the anthology, the study first examines the nature of Seneca's work and, more specifically, how the quotations of the anthology are organized. It is discovered that the sequence in which excerpts appear in a quotation do not follow a consistent, meaningful pattern, such as the order in which they might have occurred in a speech. Instead, excerpts exhibit a strong lateral organization: excerpts from one speaker show a close engagement with excerpts in spatially distant quotations from other speakers. A fundamental organizing principle consists in the convergence of excerpts around a limited number of specific points for each declamatory theme.
The remainder, and bulk, of the dissertation is a close analysis of the quotations of two speakers: Arellius Fuscus and Papirius Fabianus. The distinct identities of these speakers emerge from comparisons of excerpts in their quotations with the often studiedly similar excerpts from other speakers and from passages in other texts. Fabianus' literary identity takes shape in a language designed to construct the persona of a philosopher-preacher. The identity of Fuscus resides in idiosyncratic sentence architecture, in a preference for Presentational sentences, and in methodically innovative diction. Further substantiating Fuscus' identity is evidence that he assimilated the language of authors, such as Cicero and Vergil, and established compositional patterns that became authoritative for later authors, such as Ovid, the younger Seneca, and Lucan.

Full textAbstract:
By combining literary criticism, philology, and contemporary psychoanalysis, this dissertation offers an innovative interpretation of Neronian court literature (Seneca, Lucan, and Petronius). I argue that the works of these three authors thematize and embody a problematic relation between the human subject and language. Language is not conceived or represented as an inert tool that can be easily appropriated by the speaking subject, but rather as a powerful entity that may, and often does, take control of the human subject, directing it from without. Besides analyzing how Seneca, Lucan, and Petronius portray the relation between the human subject and language in the internal plots and characters of their works, I also explore the relation between these three authors themselves and language. My conclusion is that this relation is defined by unresolved ambiguities and neurotic tensions, and I suggest that this might be a consequence of the traumatizing circumstances that the three examined authors endured at Nero’s court.

O estudo visa compreender a relação que existe entre as práticas letivas nas aulas de Português Língua Estrangeira/ Língua Segunda e o processo de avaliação implementado no controlo das aprendizagens. Com a investigação, pretendemos contribuir para melhorar as práticas pedagógicas vigentes no processo do ensino aprendizagem da língua portuguesa no Senegal.
Para dar resposta à problemática apresentada, realizámos uma análise de testes elaborados para o Baccalaureat, um exame nacional, cujo diploma dá acesso ao ensino superior. Esta análise de testes diz respeito principalmente aos formatos de questões mais usados para avaliar a competência linguística e a produção escrita, partes dos testes que achamos problemáticas.
Desta análise, revelaram-se algumas irregularidades que necessitam de ser corrigidas, para conseguir melhores aprendizagens. Verificou-se, portanto, que, embora a abordagem comunicativa seja a base de referência para o ensino da língua no Senegal, nota-se ainda a persistência de práticas avaliativas focadas na verificação dos conhecimentos sobre a língua, práticas ineficazes para facilitar o uso da língua na comunicação do quotidiano.
Ao longo desta investigação tentámos fornecer respostas a hipóteses levantadas, que poderiam contribuir para justificar estas práticas avaliativas, que, na verdade, não se enquadram nos princípios da abordagem comunicativa, metodologia adotada para o ensino do português no Senegal desde o princípio deste século.L’objectif de cette présente étude est de contribuer à l’amélioration de l’enseignement du portugais au Sénégal. Dans ce travail d’investigation nous visons à comprendre la relation qui existe entre les pratiques de salles de classe de Portugais Langue Étrangère, Langue Seconde (PLE/PL2), et le processus d’évaluation mis en oeuvre dans le contrôle des apprentissages. Avec cette recherche nous voulons contribuer à l’amélioration les pratiques pédagogiques en vigueur dans le processus de l’enseignement apprentissage de la langue portugaise au Sénégal. Pour répondre à la problématique posée, nous avons réalisé une analyse d’épreuves proposées aux évaluations du baccalauréat, examen dont le diplôme ouvre les portes aux études supérieures. L’analyse porte principalement sur les formats de questions utilisés dans l’évaluation de la compétence linguistique et la production écrite, parties des épreuves que nous trouvons problématiques. De cette analyse se sont révélées quelques irrégularités qui méritent d’être corrigées pour réussir de meilleurs apprentissages. L’analyse a donc révélé que, bien que l’approche communicative soit la méthodologie adoptée dans l’enseignement de la langue portugaise au Sénégal, il continue toujours d’exister des pratiques évaluatives qui se focalisent sur la vérification des connaissances, pratiques inefficaces parce que ne facilitant pas l’usage de la langue dans une situation de communication du quotidien. Tout au long de cette investigation, nous avons essayé d’apporter des réponses à plusieurs hypothèses, dont les justifications pourraient contribuer à la compréhension de ces pratiques non conformes aux principes de l’approche communicative, méthodologie adoptée dans l’enseignement du portugais dès les premières années de ce siècle.

Full textAbstract:
Text in FrenchMember of the union of black workers in the port of Marseille, in France, and an eyewitness to the misery of black workers in the European environment, Sembène Ousmane, in 1956, wrote, using his personal experiences, his first book entitled The Black Docker. In this novel, he describes the sufferings of the working class, the struggle between colonisers and colonised. In 1960, he uses as a pretext the strike of the Senegalese railway workers in 1937 to write a book entitled God's Bits of Wood. In this story where two forces clashed, on one hand, the colonised struggling against the colonial system and want, at all costs, to improve their living conditions, and on the other hand, the colonisers that are in support of their colonialist ideals and refuse the changes, the author tells the epic story of strikers in Senegal and their relentless struggles against the colonisers to change their living conditions for better. In 1973, an eyewitness of the daily realities of his native country, Senegal, after gaining national sovereignty, Sembène Ousmane wrote and published a book entitled Xala. In this book, he describes the evils of neo-colonialism and criticises the new African middle class, born after independence. After reading these novels, one notes that Sembène Ousmane, a defender of freedom, denounces the injustices done to the blacks, both in the colonial era as well as in the post colonial period. This is why from a book to another, he continues tirelessly his struggle against colonialism and neo-colonialism, evoking the sufferings and tragedies endured by the Africans. It occurs constantly in his imaginary creations, a theme, or better still a dialectical; commitment and militancy. What does he mean by « commitment » and « militancy » ? How do these two concepts manifest themselves in the works of the Senegalese writer? What strategy does he propose to the oppressed in the struggle against the oppressors? What means has he put at the disposal of the disinherited struggling to break the yoke of oppression and exploitation in order to achieve freedom and equality?
Membre du syndicat des travailleurs noirs, au port de Marseille, en France, et témoin oculaire de la misère vécue par les ouvriers noirs dans ce milieu européen, Sembène Ousmane, en 1956, écrit, en se servant de ses expériences personnelles, son premier ouvrage intitulé Le Docker noir. Dans ce roman, il décrit la souffrance de la classe ouvrière, la lutte entre colonisateurs et colonisés. En 1960, il se sert d’un prétexte, la grève des ouvriers sénégalais en 1937, pour écrire un ouvrage intitulé Les Bouts de bois de Dieu. Dans ce récit, où s’affrontent deux forces, d’une part les colonisés qui luttent contre le système colonial et veulent, à tout prix, l’amélioration de leurs conditions de vie, et d’autre part, les colonisateurs qui soutiennent les idéaux colonialistes et refusent le changement, l’auteur relate l’histoire épique des grévistes au Sénégal, et la lutte implacable qu’ils mènent contre les colonisateurs pour le changement de leurs conditions de vie. En 1973, témoin oculaire des réalités quotidiennes de son pays natal, le Sénégal, après son accession à la souveraineté nationale, Sembène Ousmane écrit et publie, un ouvrage intitulé Xala. Dans ce livre, il décrit les méfaits du néocolonialisme et critique la nouvelle classe bourgeoise africaine, née après l’indépendance. Après lecture des trois romans, on constate que Sembène Ousmane, défenseur de la liberté, dénonce les injustices faites aux Noirs, aussi bien à l’époque coloniale qu’à la période postcoloniale. C’est pourquoi, d’un ouvrage à l’autre, il continue, inlassablement, sa lutte contre le colonialisme et le néocolonialisme, en évoquant les souffrances et les drames endurés par les Africains. Il revient, constamment, dans ses créations imaginaires, à une thématique, ou mieux une dialectique, l’engagement et le militantisme. Qu’entend-il par « engagement » et « militantisme »? Comment ces deux lexèmes se manifestent-ils dans les écrits de cet écrivain sénégalais? Quelles stratégies propose-t-il aux opprimés dans la lutte qui les oppose aux oppresseurs? Quels moyens met-il a la disposition des déshérités en lutte pour briser le joug de l’oppression et celui de l’exploitation afin d’obtenir la liberté et l’égalité?
