This dissertation argues that Hegel’s theory of tragedy is best understood in combination with his theory of the historical progress of subjective freedom, and that this progress is manifested as the heroes of tragic drama in its different stages of antiquity, early modernity, and late modernity. The truth of tragedy for Hegel, like the content of all art, progresses concomitantly with human freedom, reason, and subjectivity. Likewise, humanity’s self-understanding of these aspects of itself also historically progresses. In this light, I further argue that Hegel’s theory shows tragedy to be not only a historically contextualized cultural practice and form of self-understanding but also a presentation of absolute truth: the truth of a culture at a particular historical moment is presented in its tragedy, yet that culture is a part of a larger narrative, so that a common thread running through tragic drama of all eras comes to light when tragedy is examined through the lens of Hegel’s philosophy. Specifically, I show that Hegel views self-contradiction, alienation, and the drive to reconcile these as underlying universal human conditions, and in tragedy this universal truth is embodied in the tragic hero. This appears in tragic heroes as they take responsibility for unintentional actions, or as they remain fixed to their cause although it brings about their own downfall. In consideration of our own historical standpoint and of my agreement with Hegel’s view that tragedy retains an important role in our cultural self-understanding, this dissertation shifts the focus from ancient Greek tragedy, the prevailing theme in Hegel scholarship and in wider discussions of Hegel’s theory of tragedy, and instead directs more attention to modern tragedy. According to Hegel, a key aspect of all tragic heroes is that they either freely will their actions or take responsibility for them, or both. Additionally, as subjective freedom historically progresses, so does our awareness of our freedom to choose our actions or to take responsibility for them. I show how this progress is manifested in ancient, early modern, and late modern tragic heroes—in works by Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Schiller, respectively—and, finally, in the tragic heroes of some contemporary works of film. The historical grounding of my reading of Hegel’s theory of tragedy combined with my focus on the tragic hero lends a unique perspective to our understanding of Hegel’s theories of tragedy and of subjectivity, and to our interpretations of the tragic works themselves. This dissertation thus sheds new light on Hegel’s theory of tragedy, an important endeavor in itself, with the larger aim of showing how Hegel’s philosophy of tragedy helps us better understand both tragedy and ourselves, as inheritors of and participants in philosophical discussions of tragedy, and as contemporary audiences that engage with tragic dramas in a variety of venues.

Full textDoes the tragic heroine play the same Aristotelian role as the hero? Six plays are examined: Euripides’ Andromache, Iphigeneia in Aulis and Hippolytos, and Racine’s Andromaque, Iphigénie and Phèdre et Hippolyte.The three pairs of heroines, considered in turn, have specific limits to their capacity for direct heroic action, compared to typical heroes. At the same time, their presence and actions, even constrained, open the question of women’s condition – which the Greeks were the first to conceptualise, and which the French XVIIth c. also foregrounded, at least for educated women. The fourth chapter looks at some further examples of heroines, illustrating aspects of their representation in tragedy.Fifthly is considered the impact, of the presence and absence of the tragic heroine, on tragedy as a form of cultural inscription which has contributed to the evolution of the imaginaire. Different aspects of the Aristotelian model of tragedy such as muthos, hamartia, hubris, anagnorisis, catharsis are explored in terms of how the tragic heroine represents these functions.The conclusions reflect on the cultural transmission of the heroine from myth to epic, cult, the tragedy of antiquity and of French classicism, to contemporary forms). A recent linguistics theory, the X-bar theory is mentioned as a possible cognitive model to conceptualise this continuity in discontinuity, through societies which have so differently validated the female, but may all have been affected by the performative heroine. The author’s own theory of structure and counterstructure is a possible model for observing the evolution of men-women relations, beyond polarising or binary-oppositional cognitive frames. Finally, “heroine studies” are a possible fruitful research area for literature and cultural studies

Full textThe main objective of this work is to develop a comparative study of the signs that compose the narrative of the digital game trilogy God of War with that ones presents on Greek myths and tragedies. It is intended to understand the tragic narrative in God of War trilogy from the perspective of CS Peirce s semiotics, with the support off specific theories about the Greek tragic period. Were chosen philosophical theories, and historical literature about the tragic period of ancient Greece, by authors such as Albin Lesky, Jean-Pierre Vernant, Pierre Vidal-Naquet and Friedrich Nietzsche. To this end, it starts from a general discussion about the media, especially digital ones. The aim of this approach is to demonstrate how certain aspects of a media pass to another. The content of a medium is always another medium, and thus, over time, the media are in constant interplay. This is an important notion because it is how the tragic sign could reach our age. It is possible to understand this appropriation of a philosophical concept, distant in time and space, through the behavior of the media. The method used to verify the hypothesis of the tragic sign embodiment by the God of War franchise will be the second pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce, emphasizing phenomenology and the first branch of logic - the speculative grammar. With this support, we intend to map the signs of the narrative of God of War, as well as verifying the adequacy of theories of the Greek tragedy applied to the game. Though the game to do a free reading of mythology and Greek tragedy, it s possible to see similar elements between the narrative of God of War and the tragic period. Characteristic features of the tragedy appear many times in the trilogy, like the Ares immature to the Kratos dark victory
compõem a narrativa do jogo digital God of War II e os signos presentes nas tragédias e mitos gregos. Pretende-se com o trabalho compreender a questão da narrativa trágica na trilogia God of War, sob a perspectiva da semiótica de C.S. Peirce, ao mesmo tempo em que se utilizam teorias específicas sobre o período trágico grego. Foram escolhidas as teorias filosóficas, históricas e literárias sobre o período trágico da Grécia antiga, de autores como Albin Lesky, Jean-Pierre Vernant, Pierre Vidal-Naquet e Friedrich Nietzsche. Para tanto, parte-se de uma discussão geral sobre as mídias, em especial as digitais. O objetivo dessa abordagem é demonstrar como certos aspectos de uma mídia passam para outra. Todo o conteúdo de uma mídia é sempre outra mídia, e dessa forma, ao longo do tempo, as mídias estão em constante inter-relação. Isto é uma noção importante, pois é desta forma que o signo trágico pode alcançar a nossa era. É possível entender essa apropriação de um conceito filosófico distante no tempo e espaço através do comportamento das mídias. O método utilizado para se verificar a hipótese da corporificação do signo trágico na franquia God of War será o segundo pragmatismo de Charles Sanders Peirce, dando ênfase na fenomenologia e no primeiro ramo da lógica a gramática especulativa. Com esse suporte, pretende-se mapear os signos da narrativa de God of War, assim como verificar a adequação das teorias sobre a tragédia grega aplicadas ao jogo. Apesar de o jogo fazer uma leitura livre da mitologia e tragédia grega, é possível ver elementos similares entre a narrativa de God of War e o período trágico. Traços característicos da tragédia aparecem em muitos momentos da trilogia, da tolice imatura de Ares à sombria vitória de Kratos
Agostoni, Egede Carlo. "Blowing the Whistle : Narratives and Frames of Truth-Telling." Thesis, Perpignan, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PERP0004.
Full textThis dissertation posits that whistleblowing is factual truth-telling, or truthful public denunciation. In scholarship, media, and in the popular perception of whistleblowing, the truth-claim is often overlooked, and in many occasions hampered by the dominant ways it is framed (e.g. as leak, which is explored among other frames as a problematic conceptual metaphor). Interestingly, the representation of the whistleblower is different in cultural narratives. Through close readings of a selection of cases, the pursuit, importance, and impact of truth will appear as the central theme in the explored plots, but also the moments where truth becomes impotent, due to its coercive nature as factuality - a process that furthermore connects whistleblowing with the idea of the tragic. Put differently, the special literary interest of narratives of whistleblowing is to turn ignorance into knowledge, knowledge into telling, and how the unraveling of truth becomes a reversal of fortune for the truth-teller who enters a particular tragic conflict. As frame, as narrative, and as a modern phenomenon of truthful public denunciation, whistleblowing offers particular moments of truth, often about moments of falsehood, and ultimately seeks to be a moment of impetus: for the public to restore justice, and for readerships and audience of narrative and dramatic configurations to choose or to distance themselves from multiple proposals of justice emplotted - not only ethical justice, but also epistemic, hermeneutical, and testimonial justice. In other words, whistleblowers, by telling the truth, seek to expand the epistemic space in the public sphere and hold people and power accountable

Full textMotivations in FLOSS have always been a subject of great interest, by starting with the most obvious question, “why people work for free?”. The motivations of developers have been well established (eg von Hippel (2001), Lerner and Tirole 2002). The same exists also for big and small companies adopting FLOSS based Business Models (eg Lakhani and von Hippel, 2003; Fitzgerald 2006; Krishnamurthy, 2004). However an increasing number of SMEs with strategies not directly related to the Business Model are contributing to FLOSS communities. In this study we try to investigate these motivations under a behavioral perspective by using a research model based on TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior). We demonstrated that factors like the “openness” of a SME, the perceived importance of FLOSS, the developers (employees) of a SME along with the external environment of a SME, could influence the decision of a SME to participate in FLOSS communities. Also, we have demonstrated that some differences can be identified between high tech firms and non high tech firms. These findings can help national or regional governments to design better policies in order to better promote the use and the participation of firms to FLOSS communities. Especially now, in times of heavy economical crisis in Europe, FLOSS can be an adequate solution to foster innovation.

Full textThe character of the wife is a central feature of the epic genre, for which Homer's poems stand as a model in Greek and Latin literature. The major role the feminine eros, especially towards a husband, plays in those works is one of the aspects on which the evolution of epic genericity relies, evolving from one poem to another. During the Flavian Age, Valerius Flaccus and Statius gave two feminine characters a major part in their poems : one is Medea in The Argonautics, the other Argia in Statius' Thebaid. Besides, both poets also illustrate other aspects of husband and wife eros in the Lemnian episode, which stages Hypsipyle as its heroine. From a philosophical point of view, we can see how this emphasized presence of feminine characters matches contemporary philosophers' theories on ethics within marriage, such as Musonius Rufus' thoughts. From the point de view of literature however, considering its setting in the Age of Silver latinity, we can consider this presence as a questioning of epic generic codes, which shows in the way wives are represented, according to the patterns of tragedy and of the Roman elegy, particularly of Ovid's Heroids. Therefore in the wake of three literary traditions - epic, tragedy, elegy -, the role of feminine characters shows the renewal of the epic, which we can fully study by creating criteria of analysis bearing on the notions of genre, genericity and intergenericity
Panter, Marie. "Le roman, poème du monde. Victor Hugo, Theodor Fontane, Thomas Hardy." Thesis, Lyon, École normale supérieure, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013ENSL0856.
Full textThis thesis deals with the poetics of the novel in Victor Hugo, Theodor Fontane and Thomas Hardy, with a specific focus on The Man who Laughs (1869), Trials and Tribulations (1888) and Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891). By bringing together these three novelists who are widely acknowledged as major writers yet ignored by general theories of the novel, this study will show how a vision of the modern novel as a poetic rendition of reality, with an idealist, progressive and critical background, has maintained itself. Hugo, Fontane and Hardy, three novelists who considered themselves to be poets first and foremost, opted to turn the novel into a tragedy, a poetic rendition of reality which stands in contrast with Lukacs’ post-Hegelian theories of the modern novel as a prosaic literary genre. In the face of nihilism and the theories of the realist novel which surfaced in the second half of the XIXth century and attempted to define – in the restrictive sense of the word – the genre of the novel, they turned back to the model of the Romantic novel and reinvented it at a time when the realist novel was preeminent. Their poetics was therefore based on the “poietisation” of prose, in other words, based on the imaginary, the symbolic and the metaphoric. This enabled them to assert the specificity and possibility of a poetic, that is to say subjective, heroic and moral experience of the world, as well as the ability of the novel to generate poetical knowledge about the world and history

Full textIn this study we examined how Swedish women experience young motherhood in relation to their perceived ability to complete their gymnasium studies. We have interviewed 4 women who became mothers around 15-16 years of age. The investigation is based mainly on qualitative group and individual interviews. None of the women interviewed had completed their studies, despite that three of the women expressed desire to do so, and the acknowledgement of the existence of a social network of family and community actors making this goal achievable. Unique to this study’s findings was the perception among the women that the schools themselves had been adapted for them and thus did not present a barrier. Rather, economic difficulties were cited to be the most common reason for dropping out, with mental health and class identity also cited as complicating factors. We then provide an analysis from feminist and normative perspectives in order to provide a framework for understanding how social norms of gender, age, motherhood can constitute perceived barriers for young mothers who wish to complete their gymnasium education. In particular, this study highlights the importance of further investigation of how economic factors can complicate young parenthood.

Medea, which tells the story of a woman who is abandoned by the man she loves and for whom she has surrendered everything, is one of Euripides’ famous tragedies. It analyzes this play with a feminist reading. By analyzing the image of Medea in the play, provoking the psychological development of her revenge and stating the status of women today, it wants to emphasize that every human being has the responsibility and right to fight for freedom, respect and equality.

In this thesis will the following question be discussed, namely whether the tragic thought of Nietzsche is completely provable in Wagner''s music drama The Niblungen''s Ring. I focus my discussion both on Nietzsche''s first important work The Birth of Tragedy, which was dedicate to Richard Wagner, and Wagner''s music drama: The Niblungen''s Ring. Schopenhauer''s metaphysic, especially his thought of music metaphysic played an important role on both of them, therefore it will also be discussed as common root in this thesis. Besides, the cultural background of their time in which the Germany wanted to build their own cultural tradition after the paradigm of ancient Greek has great influences on Nietzsche and Wagner. The thesis will retrace their tragic thoughts to the origin in Greek culture , especially in the Poetica of Aristotle. At last, it also refers to the other Nietzsche''s writing, for example, Wagner in Bayreuth and The Case of Wagner in order to clarify the problems of the breaking of their friendship.

Find full textMy dissertation is in two parts. First, it develops a philosophical concept of “tragic uncertainty,” derived from early twentieth-century Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno. Secondly, it demonstrates ethical application of tragic uncertainty to human societal events. The ethical imperative created from tragic uncertainty—and not either tragedy or uncertainty alone—is the following. Given a tragic situation with a great degree of uncertainty, people living with doubt, mental despair, and perpetual anguish because of it should be provided relief. Generally, this relief should be in the form of therapy, by which I mean an affective and emotional release. Two important case studies are explored. One on corrupted political systems in the USA-Mexico border. The other in Honduras, on both climate change and corrupted political systems. These are explained and categorized as tragically uncertain. Corresponding, minimal practical solutions accompany the ethical imperative created to remedy tragic uncertainty.

Full textThe commons need not be a tragedy: impact of peer-pressure and opinions Why do people help the community without getting anything in return? Usually, they either hold the firm belief they should do so or they want to follow a social norm. The behavioural model of this paper takes those two factors into account and applies them to recycling issues. It shows under which condition people act selflessly and how this behaviour spreads across the population. This paper then determines how governments must balance advertising and packaging refunding in order to increase recycling rate at minimal cost. It also proves that under certain circumstances it is preferable not to start transition toward cooperation. Indeed, as people progressively start cooperating, the population becomes divided between followers and opponents to this new attitude. As long as this heterogeneity remains, peer-pressure causes a cost that may outweigh the expected benefits of cooperation.

Full textThis dissertation reports the main work I developed during my Ph.D. program. It contains my contributions to the field of population dynamics and a study of a global problem of cooperation. Evolutionary game theory (EGT) and stochastic population dynamics have proven to be powerful tools to describe frequency-dependent dynamics in evolutionary biology. More recently, EGT has become increasingly popular in the study of social settings and conflict resolution among humans, calling for an extension of the initial framework towards the boundless complexity of human reasoning. Here, I discuss the necessity of introducing different levels of rationality and prospective strategies, proving under which circumstances the equations that govern both rational and rationally-bounded players coincide. Moreover, since decision-making often relies in a continuum of possible options, I propose a novel equation to describe the evolution of populations with a continuum of strategies, analyzing why and when we can discretize the sets of possible strategies. Finally, when finite populations and stochastic effects are considered, the increasing population size or increasing number of individual configurations rapidly renders the analysis of stationary states prohibitive. Here, I also discuss a novel framework that allows us to define a hierarchy of approximations to the stationary distribution of any population dynamics described by a Markov process, overcoming the limitations of existing approaches. These results and methods are general in the sense that they are applicable to the study of different dilemmas and their respective gametheoretical representation. In the last part of this dissertation, I focus on problems related with global coordination for the preservation of a common good, such as climate change governance. Indeed, preventing global warming requires overall cooperation. Contributions will depend on uncertainty of future losses, which plays a key role in decision-making. Here, I discuss an evolutionary game theoretical model – and its stochastic dynamics in finite populations – in which decisions within small groups under high risk and stringent requirements toward success are shown to significantly raise the chances of coordinating to save the planet’s climate. This result calls for a decentralized or polycentric way of coordinating efforts to tame the planet’s climate. I further discuss whether a polycentric structure of multiple small-scale sanctioning institutions provides a viable solution to solve global dilemmas. Such structure is shown to help deterring non-cooperative behavior (when compared with a single global institution), even though it suffers, to a smaller extent, from most of the same problems as the top-down approach: sensitivity to risk perception and to overall uncertainty. Furthermore, I also discuss how world’s wealth inequality may influence the outcome of this type of collective dilemmas, studying how the segregation between rich and poor players harms cooperative behavior, even if rich tend to, at first, compensate for contributions (or lack of them) from the poor. Finally, I discuss in which conditions the establishment of pre-play contracts may help to overcome part of these problems. The results indicate that contracts are more effective if voluntary and more prevalent if small, acting as a costly signaling mechanism for a naturally cooperative group of individuals sharing common goals. This, in turn, if combined with some partnership advantages, creates more incentives to join, allowing both cooperation and the total membership to grow.
Esta dissertação é uma coletânea do principal trabalho desenvolvido durante o meu doutoramento. Contém as minhas contribuições para o ramo da dinâmica de populações e o estudo de um problema global de cooperação. A Teoria de Jogos Evolutiva (EGT) e a dinâmica estocástica de populações são identificadas como ferramentas poderosas para descrever a dinâmica evolutiva em Biologia Evolutiva. Mais recentemente, a EGT tem-se tornado mais popular no estudo de sistemas sociais de resolução de con- flitos entre humanos pedindo por uma extensão das ferramentas originais de forma a acomodar a grande complexidade humana. Nesta dissertação, eu discuto a necessidade de introduzir diferentes níveis de racionalidade e estratégias que recorrem a previsões, mostrando em que circunstâncias as equações que governam estratégias racionais e com racionalidade limitada coincidem. Além disso, uma vez que a tomada de decisão muitas vezes incide num contínuo de estratégias possíveis, proponho uma nova equação para descrever a evolução de populações com um contínuo de estratégias. Finalmente, quando as populações são finitas e são considerados os seus efeitos estocásticos, o aumento do tamanho da população ou do número de configurações individuais possíveis rapidamente torna impraticável a análise de estados estacionários. Aqui, eu também discuto uma nova ferramenta que permite definir uma hierarquia de aproximações para a distribuição estacionária de qualquer dinâmica de populações descrita por um processo de Markov, ultrapassando as atuais limitações. Estes resultados e métodos são gerais, no sentido de serem aplicáveis ao estudo de diferentes dilemas e da respetiva representação em termos de teoria de jogos. Na última parte desta dissertação, foco-me em problemas relacionados com a coordenação global para a preservação de um bem comum, como a prevenção das alterações climáticas. De facto, a prevenção do aquecimento global requer cooperação a nível global. Contudo, as contribuições vão depender da incerteza sobre as perdas futuras, o que joga um papel crucial na tomada de decisão dos responsáveis. Aqui discuto um modelo de EGT – e os seus efeitos estocásticos em populações finitas – com o qual mostro que as hipóteses de coordenação para salvar o clima do planeta aumentam significativamente se as decisões forem tomadas no seio de pequenos grupos sobre problemas locais que, por um lado, reflitam menor incerteza e, por outro, onde os requisitos para a tomada de ação possam ser apertados. Este resultado pede uma forma de coordenar os esforços para domar o clima do planeta que seja descentralizada, ou policêntrica. Ainda nesta parte, discuto se uma estrutura policêntrica de múltiplas instituições para sancionar comportamentos de pequena escala providencia uma solução viável para resolver problemas globais. Mostro que essa estrutura ajuda a prevenir comportamentos não cooperativos (quando comparada com uma única instituição global), mesmo que sofra, em menor escala, dos mesmos problemas da alternativa top-down: sensibilidade à perceção do risco de desastre e incerteza, em geral. Além disso, também discuto como é que a desigualdade de capacidade contributiva no mundo pode influenciar o resultado deste tipo de dilemas coletivos, estudando como é que a segregação entre jogadores ricos e pobres prejudica a cooperação, mesmo que os ricos, a princípio, tendam a compensar a falta de contribuições dos pobres. Finalmente, discuto em que condições a criação de contratos pode ajudar a ultrapassar parcialmente estes problemas. Os resultados indicam que os contratos são mais eficientes se voluntários e mais prevalentes se entre poucos membros, funcionando como um mecanismo de sinalização com custo para grupos de indivíduos naturalmente cooperativos. Isto, por sua vez, combinado com vantagens intra-contrato, cria mais incentivos para novas adesões o que torna possíveis o aumento tanto da cooperação como do número de membros.
