Fitzenreiter, Martin. "Statue und Kult." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät III, 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/14576.
Full textThe focus of the study is the non-royal ("private") tomb statue of the Old Kingdom (3rd to 6th dynasties). Observations on the actual position of statues within the tomb are included, followed by a discussion of architectural and functional components of a residential funerary complex. Further a certain number of two-dimensional representations and inscriptions are consulted for the discussion of special topics. The aim of the study is to investigate the function of a cultural object within the frame of social practice. By using the tomb statue as an example and by restricting the topic spatially to the residence and temporally to the Old Kingdom, it is possible to detect how - on the basis of habitual concepts and patterns of action - a cultural object has been developed and activated by a specific social group (inhabitants of the residence) in the frame of funerary practice in a specific historical situation (consolidation of the centre of an early state). Using a wider score of sources it is thus possible to sketch the reality of funerary practice of a specific period. This study is divided into five parts. The sources referred to in the different chapters are gathered in sets of tables. Part I sets the main principles of the study. The two most important statue types - the sitting and the striding figure - are introduced. The following discussion of its place in the funerary complex and its function shows the importance of the object "statue" within the funerary cult. Preliminary observations on social implications of funerary practice are formulated. It is shown that statues are marked by some indexical information (striding = possibility of movement; sitting = existence in the tomb; raised hand = possibility of receiving offerings) which will be activated in the course of funerary practice. By developing certain of these indices it became possible to describe individual positions and to introduce them into the cultural communication (inscription of name and titles, naturalistic elements of representation). The principles used in part I for the sources from dyn. 1 to 3 will also be observed in the following parts, dividing due to the amount of material the investigation into a number of subtopics (statue types, context of the funerary complex, function in the cult). In part II statue types added to the corpus of tomb statues during dyn. 4 are investigated. Focal point is the individual activation of the communicative potencies inherent in the statues (indices). It is shown that the development of new statue types (scribe, striding figure with protruding kilt, group figure, servant figure) can be correlated to the establishment of new social positions at the residence. Additionally the development of specific patterns of behaviour and of concepts of funerary practice leads to the creation of peculiar types of statues (reserve head, bust, naked figure, pseudo group). Part III deals with the archaeological context of statues. In order to investigate communities and differences within the funerary practice of the residence, sources of different social groups (elite vs. dependants) are treated separately. As in the period dealt with in part I, it is possible to observe the development and the transformation of the funerary practice in time. Additionally with rock-cut statues and related objects, a group of sources is investigated linking in a specific manner statue type and its position in the funerary complex. Main topic of this part is the activation of the medium "statue" in the course of collective cult action. In this context the different references of religious action in a funerary complex observable in the archaeological record are described. Part IV adds the evidence of inscriptions and two-dimensional depictions. The main focus is on two-dimensional representations showing the employment of statues. Using textual and pictorial evidence, reconstructions of the offering ritual, the festival ritual and the burial ritual are proposed. Funerary practice is described as a complex of actual behaviour. The circumstances of the activation of its individual and collective potencies are detected. The importance of the process of "conceptualisation" (oral / written formulation and explanation) of phenomenons for the development of funerary practice is stressed. Using sources showing the formation of patterns of representation of practical actions in picture and text (called "scriptualization") it is shown that funerary practice is a dynamic, constantly changing process. Those changes refer not only to the realm of actions - i.e. the actual ceremonies - but also to the objects used (statue, funerary monument, deceased body) and to the conceptualisation of the whole process in a "funerary religion". Part V summarises the main conclusions. Additionally it deals with the emic conceptualisation of the object "tomb statue". Further a number of criteria allowing a periodization of funerary practice at the residence are listed. Finally the overall importance of funerary practice within the frame of social practice in pharaonic Egypt during the 3rd millennium B.C.E. is highlighted.

Full textStatues are the most noticeable tangible testimonies from Antiquity that we are given to contemplate. If each of us can see what they are, yet we can not get their true meaning in their whole. Abandoning the approach of cataloguing and typological classification, this work intends to throw us back to the statues’ social atmosphere that is perfectly revised, reconstituted and questioned. What is the use of erecting a statue in Ancient Rome? What is the use of studying them so far? To answer this question, we can say that beyond these ruins, it is the drive to find again a conception of a world that is different from ours, but a world that is capable of shedding a new light into the meaning of the Statues, which is essential for us. Behind the statues, it is to find again the Man, either the old type or the new type. It is above all to transcend the seeming inertia to think again a community life, in which the honour prevailed and whom reception turns out to be the most vivid in our modern world

In designing DwarfFortress as part roguelike and part simulation, Tarn and Zach Adams of Bay 12 Games drew on a tradition of game genres that used proceduralism and simulation to give players unique paths through the game. The specific choices in their design served their goal of "giv[ing] rise to some really awesome stories from the players themselves," I argue, because it took advantage of what Henry Jenkins calls "narrative architecture." Expanding on Jenkins' idea to examine narrative architectures of space, code, and player choice, the thesis shows how Bay 12 not only encouraged players to view the game as a world full of stories, but also gave players tools to craft their own kinds of tellable moments through the game. Tellable moments, as described by Marie-Laure Ryan and Lisbeth Klastrup, are events which, because they either create or break expected patterns, are well-suited to use in plots, and serve as resources for storytelling. As players became authors, they engaged in a sort of 'narrative play' through the game's affordances (and tools created in the community) in order to craft more elaborate and specific story arcs within the general confines of the game. This narrative play is a gameplay strategy in which players use the game's narrative architecture in order to goad the game's code into producing certain kinds of outcomes, outcomes which they aim to use for storytelling. Three different stories provide us with a set of tellable moments in which narrative play alternatively responds to gameplay challenge, creates an environment that embodied and staged story, and reconfigures code in order to create new types of tellable moments.

Full textThe collection of ancient statues collected by Ippolito d'Este in his villa in Tivoli suffered a slow depletion during the centuries that followed the cardinal's death. By the end of the eighteenth century, the collection had completely dispersed. For this reason, while a number of studies have been devoted to the description of the villa, its gardens and the numerous fountains, scholars have paid much less attention to the collection of ancient statues. An article wrote by Ashby at the beginning of the nineteenth century is the only study dedicated exclusively to the collection of ancient statues of the villa that has been published so far. There, the English scholar investigated crucial issues such as the origin, arrangement and dispersion of the statues. However, Ashby was not aware of a rich documentation concerning the administration of the assets of the Este dukes in Rome and in Tivoli, kept at the State Archives of Modena. Here, we present the transcription and analysis of those unpublished documents. They have been compared to the data obtained from the drawings and descriptions of the villa and its gardens created over the centuries, to reconstruct the history of almost all the sculptures exhibited in the villa, from their introduction in the collection of Hippolytus II at the time of the sale by the Este dukes in the second half of the eighteenth century. In particular, the mostly unpublished documentation found in the Modena Archive allowed us to identify the characters, epoch and circumstances of the sales of the sculptures, which took place one after another since the middle of the eighteenth century, and which led to the complete dispersion of the collection. In some cases, we managed to pinpoint the current location of the sculptures, by following the antiquarian activity of the characters involved in the sales. It emerged that all the main characters of the lively Rome antiquarian market of the eighteenth century had a direct or indirect role in the dispersion of the collection. This allowed to draw broader considerations about the dynamics of the antiquities market, about the principles that inspired the practices of conservation and restoration, and in general on the manner in which people living in the 18th century related with antiquity. The study also focused extensively on the relocation and alterations of the outfitting of the sculpture which took place over the centuries. Understanding the context in which the statues were exposed allowed me to highlight the evolution in the use of antiquities. At the time when Ligorio’s produced its plannings and designs, ancient statues were interpreted, modified and used to formulate new and complex symbolic meanings and mythological tales, in which nature and water play a fundamental role. Over the centuries a tendency towards musealization prevailed, aimed rather at the aesthetic enjoyment and formal appreciation of the single piece, with a preference for enclosed spaces compared to open ones. The relocation of many sculptures from the fountains of the palace gardens led to the disintegration of the symbolic constructions developed in the sixteenth century and the loss of its overall meaning. Originally aimed at filling at least partially a fundamental part of sixteenth-century collecting activities, by investigating the tastes and choices of one of the main characters involved in the recovery of antiquities in Rome around the middle of 1500, this study eventually allowed a broader reflection on the interpretation and the reuse of antiquity and its evolution over the centuries. In particular, it opened a window on the dynamics, relationships and characters that ruled the antiquities market in the Rome of 1700.

Full textDepuis l'effondrement du régime soviétique, les États postcommunistes d'Europe centrale et d'Europe de l'est sont confrontés à la propagande socialiste imprégnant les paysages publics. Dans trois cas unique, les élites politiques en Russie, en Lituanie et en Hongrie ont créé des parcs statue afin de formellement établir et présenter une collection de statues communistes qui auparavant se retrouvaient dans les rues publiques. Ce faisant, les créateurs des parcs ont altéré le sens idéologique attaché à ces monuments et ont reconstruit les récits historiques sur le passé communiste tout en offrant une destination intéressante pour les touristes curieux. Grâce à une interprétation comparative de ces cas, sur la base de recherches de terrain, cet article démontre la capacité des élites à modeler les récits historiques dans le domaine public. Tandis que les statues contenues dans chaque parc sont assez similaires, l'interprétation est radicalement différente dans chaque cas. Ces différences, selon moi, sont le résultat de l'expérience distincte de chaque État sous le communisme et les objectifs politiques divergentes des élites postcommunistes. Pour mieux comprendre la complexité de ces récits, j'évalue aussi l'influence relative des acteurs étatiques et non étatiques dans l'élaboration des parcs statue au fil du temps. Dans l'ensemble, je trouve que l'élargissement de la participation à la création et l'entretien de ces parcs - tout en démontrant une ouverture démocratique du processus de la mémoire publique - peut aussi conduire à une plus grande commercialisation et la banalisation du passé puisque que les exigences économiques actuelles sont orienter pour attirer le plus grand public touristique possible.

Full textBringing together a broad corpus of texts written in many different languages, this dissertation explores the intersections between literature and sculpture. The starting point is the monument, an object that stands as a “social total fact”, condensing politics, ideologies, religion and aesthetics. Literature can help monuments to alter their beholders, to glorify heroes, to signify history, to build up and edify society, or to respond to distress. More often, it appropriates, subverts or debunks those acts via strategies of “textual iconoclasm”, proving that monuments cannot withstand the test of reality and fail to keep their promises. Literature aims therefore at renewing monuments, making them lighter by opening them to compassion and finitude. Thus recreated, statues in cities can point the beholders towards the sacred, or accommodate magic. Literature manages so to reinvent a polysemy around devices designed to hold an authority, and that were supposed to reinforce a monosemy

Full textThe current study concerned the ancients' changing perception of the statue and its associated qualities during the enormous religious, political, and social upheavals of the 4th and 5th century A.D., focusing on the most clearly documented Western part of the Empire, particularly Africa, Italy and Gaul. The study draws on archeological, literary, legal and epigraphic sources more traditionally treated separately as belonging to either history or history of art. This multi disciplinary analysis casts new light on our understanding of statues, and the function of such images at the end of Antiquity as well as the unique plastic use of such images in sculpture in the round of the period. The images, which haunted the universe of the Ancients, were a product of its civilization in order to become the expression of it. This study thus takes an approach which includes social attitudes within the political and religious framework of a late Roman civilization in transition

A análise da correspondência entre Hesíodo e Daniel revelou-se, surpreendentemente, profícua, especialmente no que diz respeito ao mito das cinco raças, em Os Trabalhos e os dias, do primeiro, e ao sonho da estátua compósita, no livro que leva o nome do segundo. A analogia revela que, guardadas as devidas proporções em termos de marco social, língua e cultura de uma forma geral, os pontos de contato se dão a partir das fontes comuns, repercutidas na estrutura e no gênero literário. O objetivo desta dissertação é averiguar em que medida Hesíodo teria influenciado o livro de Daniel, tendo em vista ser o poeta grego cerca de seis séculos anterior ao livro do redator judeu. Assim sendo, o trabalho começa com uma análise e tradução do mito grego, seguindo sempre as etapas do método histórico-crítico; em seguida, é feito um estudo acerca da origem e das características do gênero que os aproxima, o apocalíptico; posteriormente, a análise e tradução da perícope de Daniel para, por fim, sumariar a aproximação entre os dois, o que, de certa forma, já acontece ao longo do trabalho.
The analysis of the correspondence between Hesiod and Daniel turn out to be, surprinsingly, proficient, specially with regard to the myth of ages, in the Works and days, belonging to the first, and the dream of compound statue, in the book that has the name of the second. The analogy shows that, retaining the proportions due to each one in terms of setting, language and culture on the whole, the contact points occur from the common sources, having repercutions on the framework and literary gender. The aim of this research is to verify in which measure Hesiod would have influenced the book of Daniel, having in mind that Greek poet lived at about six centuries before the Jewish editor´s book. In this way, the research begins analysing and translating the Greek myth, following always the stages of the historical-critical method. Next, is made a study about the origin and features of the apocalyptic gender that brings the two texts close to each other. Subsequently, the analysis and translation of the extract of Daniel to, finally, summarize the proximity between them, which, anyway, has already been occuring along the research.

Full textNesta dissertação, busca-se investigar todo o processo decisório – sugestões, considerações, imposições e concessões – relativo à implementação dos direitos sociais dos trabalhadores na Constituição Federal, especificamente no que tange ao prazo prescricional qüinqüenal, previsto no inciso XXIX do art. sétimo e à estrutura sindical, como disposta no artigo oitavo. Pretende-se, assim, oferecer uma contribuição que sirva para futuras perspectivas histórico-políticas de interpretação da letra fria do texto constitucional no que tange aos seus artigos sétimo e oitavo. A partir do estudo documental que permite apreender o processo dialético que levou à promulgação do texto final da constituição brasileira, analisar-se-ão as propostas iniciais, os debates que demonstram o embate de forças progressistas e conservadoras e, finalmente, a crítica à concepção final resultante deste longo e rico processo jurídico, histórico e social. Na maior parte dos debates sobre interpretação constitucional, parte-se do texto constitucional. O escopo do presente trabalho é buscar a gênese do direito positivado na CF/88, tomando-se o processo constituinte como marco inicial da pesquisa sobre a sistematização e efetividade dos direitos sociais no Brasil.
In this thesis, we seek to investigate all decision-making process - suggestions, considerations and concessions - on the implementation of worker’s social rights in the Federal Constitution, specifically with respect to the five-year limitation period provided for in Article XXIX of the. 7 and the union structure, as laid out in Article 8. The aim is thus to offer a contribution that will serve for future historical and political perspectives of interpretation of the cold letter of the Constitution in relation to Articles 7 and 8. From the documental study that allows to understand the dialectical process that led to the promulgation of the final text of the Brazilian constitution, shall review the initial proposals, the discussions that demonstrate the clash of forces progressive and conservative and finally, the criticism of the final design that resulted from this long and rich legal, social and historical process. In most debates about constitutional interpretation, we start from the constitutional text. The scope of this paper is to seek the genesis of positive law in CF/88, taking the constitutional process as a landmark for the systematic research on the effectiveness of the social rights in Brazil.

Full textThe puppet, or marionnete, - little Marie etymologically –, a human model, in reduction, a diminutive or condensed creature, a « dramatico-vegetable » actor in the eyes of writer Carlo Collodi, has always amused, frightened or fascinated mankind. Traces of puppets are to be found early in western ancient times. In much the same way as the automaton Olympia, in Ernst Hoffmann's The Sand Man, inspired Freud's concept of « disquieting strangeness », (Unheimliche), the puppet creates doubt in the spectator's mind : the latter feels strange when viewing an inanimate object apparently gifted with life, an unease akin to that which one feels if confronted with a human behaving like a ' « Man-machine » (La Mettrie).This work aims at exploring the paradoxical world of inanimate figures in order to explain how those seem to acquire life, lose it or come to life again at will. To what craft project or demiurgic fantasy does the making of artificial creatures answer ? How does the soul come to those objects ? What are the shares of the motions impulsed by the puppet manipulator and the beliefs and projections of the spectators, in that mysterious phenomenon of animation. The present work, although fully belonging to the field of drama studies, crosses others, notably literature, psychoanalysis, philosophy, anthropology and history

Full textThe concept “idol” derives from ancient Greek, which is still used today. Nowadays, an Idol designates first and foremost the cult of personality but the traces of the ancient meaning are partly preserved. The term idol focuses on the veneration of foreign deities and their pictorial representations. Therefore, idols contrast with the monotheism and an iconism of the god of Israel. This study elaborates the original meaning of the Greek word eidôlon which becomes the standard expression for divine images since its usage in the Septuagint and afterwards. It seems that there did not exist a major term for cult images in the Greek culture. The comparison and the exact analysis of the Hebrew and Greek equivalents form the major part of the thesis. In the case of eidôlon there does not exist a Hebrew standard equivalent but a variety of Hebrew lexemes which are all translated by the Greek word in the Septuagint. In general, eidôlon appears in important and authoritative texts (Exodus 20: the Second Commandment,Deuteronomy 32: The Song of Moses). Concerning the choice of terminology, eidôlon is astrategic and theological move of the translators because this Greek expression includes allmajor characteristics of foreign deities. A clear distinction between JHWH the god of Israel andall other deities becomes clear

Full textThe Rome Statute gave birth to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 17 July 1998. Its mandate is to assist the international community in the arduous task of closing the gap of impunity for the most heinous crimes, namely war crimes, crimes of aggression, genocide and crimes against humanity. For the first time in the history of humankind, States accepted the jurisdiction of a permanent international criminal court, for the prosecution of the perpetrators of the most serious crimes committed within their territories or by nationals after the entry into force of the Rome Statute on 1 July 2002. The ICC is an international organization, with distinct legal capacity. It is independent of the United Nations although it does act in close association with it. The ICC is not a substitute for national courts. The Rome Statute provides that it is still very much the duty of the State to exercise its jurisdiction over those responsible for international crimes. The ICC can only intervene as a court of last resort where a State is unwilling or unable to carry out the investigation and prosecute the perpetrators within its own domestic courts and laws. It may only exercise jurisdiction over crimes committed on the territory of a State party or a national of such, the only exception to this is that the United Security Council can use its powers under the UN Charter to refer situations to the Prosecutor of the ICC. The ICC is therefore meant to compliment and support domestic criminal justice; this was reflected even in the drafting stages of the Statute whereby integration of a variety of national perspectives and judicial cultures from different countries was considered in order to ensure that the ICC did not depart from what is considered just within the domestic sphere. It may well be argued that the Rome Statute provides an opportunity to reinvigorate and reform criminal codes which may in the long term globally strengthen the rule of law, peace and security.

Full textThe story of Ellis Island, from the opening of the immigration station in 1892 to the restoration of the site in the 1980s after a period of neglect and oblivion, reflects the interactions between discourses on immigration and the building of the political and cultural identity of the American nation. The immigration museum that opened on the island in 1990, in the building where twelve million immigrants were processed between 1892 and the mid-1920s, has become the site of memory of American immigration. Starting from the postulate that societies build their representation of the past and their collective memory to meet their demands in the present, this thesis aims at showing how and for what purposes the American nation chose to put forward, at a certain time, selected pieces of its history to assert itself “ nation of immigrants”. The setting-up of the Ellis Island museum, which affirmed immigration and ethnicity as essential components of the American identity, was indeed also a choice of memory by the Federal government, testifying to a way of interpreting and representing History

Full textAs soon as he become king of France in 1498, Louis XII undertake to rebuild the family castle of Blois. The Louis XII wing of the royal castle of Blois shows an exceptional iconographic and carved program done from 1498 to about 1503, which consists of more than two hundred culots, gargoyles, grotesques, masks, medallions, monograms, and emblems, surrounding the equestrian statue of the king and the staircase. As the manuscript archives relating to the carvings have almost completely disappeared, the objective has been to consider firstly the historical events up until the restorations of the 19th and 20th century that have contribued to the current identity of the château. An iconographic study is approached in the second part, including the sculpted decoration of the château, the relationship between the decoration of the grand staircase and the vault with the equestrian statue. The third part relate to the role of the carved decoration within the artistic context of buiding sites and workshops between 1450 to 1520
