Full textThe object of this thesis is the study of a corpus of portraits of children painted in Quebec between 1800 and 1860. After introducing the theme of childhood in European and American painting since the sixteenth century, we go on in the first part to examine the historical and artistic context in which the bourgeois portrait developed in Quebec as well as some of the earliest known portraits of children in Quebec. In the second part, we have undertaken a stylistic and comparative study of the corpus, using as our starting point the compositional arrangements employed by the artists to represent children. This led us to divide the corpus into two main categories : bust-length portraits of the child and group portraits. Comparison with American portraits has permitted us to identify compositional similarities as well as characteristic elements that constitute what is specific to portraits of children in Quebec.

Full textE. Appert (1831-1890) is a photographer known for his prisoners’ portraits after the Commune of Paris and for his photomontages of Crimes de la Commune. Meanwhile, he has begun his career before 1871 and for nearly thirty years. This photographer was in fact like a “reporter” looking after events of the moment. Weaving useful links with the Justice and the Paris police headquarters, his portraits and montages reflected political occurrences. Considered as a supporter of Thiers and closed to imperial family, Appert photographed above all the pick of Politic, Army and of the Church without choosing any side. He made a type of portrait, pure without any ornament: the model, politic or prisoner, seated on a simple chair in front of a plain background. His photomontages made carefully were mostly group portraits for political and judiciary actuality. The photographer developed narrowed links with illustrated press and has published portraits as early as the beginning of 1860 portraits in Le Monde Illustré and L’Illustration. This followed collaboration was an opportunity to be known by the public. From a modest social sphere, photography was a way for Appert to rise himself into the society. His commercial opportunism allowed the photographer to survive to economic and political difficulties throw the end of the Second Empire, siege of Paris, civil war and Third Republic

Full textThis work aimed to understand the social problems involving Catholicism and Protestantism, during the 1860s and 1880s, in Recife. Weve observed all the speeches presented in newspapers by that time,specially in Jornal do Recife and O Cathólico. This study considered the social, economical, political and cultural events in Brazil and in around the world, in the second half of the 19 th century. These changes made the religious practice become weak in Brazil, forcing it to change its model to the ultramontane. The attempt to make the popular Catholicism become an ultramontane model didnt succeed and most people were taken to the Protestant universe. In Pernambuco (1842) a Negro Protestantism rose because of a Protestant group called Divino Mestre. That movement had a negro as their leader, and he taught his followers how to read also rejected the Catholic tradition. All the local Protestantism feared him. The government was afraid of a rebellion similar to the Malês in Bahia or another like the one in Haiti. The missionary Protestantism didnt threaten the local economy and the social bases, so it was welcomed by the masons and liberals. However, the Protestant missionarys activity developed among, half-blood people and Negroes. All the incidents involving faith, which were studied here, were in the media, in newspapers. Protestants used the polemic presented by newspapers as strategies to occupy institutional spaces to which they didnt have access before. This way, they got the support of those who were against the Church and took advantage of the situation provided by the Religious matter in the Empire

Full textIn the early 1860s three Swedes, Nils Wilhelm Mitander,Julius Ramsay and Gustaf Wittenström, were engaged by theBritish to build and run charcoal-based ironworks in India.These works, the Burwai Iron Works of the British Government inthe case of Mitander and the privately owned Kumaon Iron Worksin the case of Ramsay and Wittenström, were both to bebased on the most modern European technology. The projects werepioneering in Indian ironmaking. The ambitions were high andstakes big, but after only a few years the projects were closedand the Swedes returned home.Landscapes of Technology Transferpresents a detailedstudy of the Kumaon and Burwai Iron Works, from their firstconception to their final closure. The investigation isbasically empirical and a fundamental question is: Why were theworks never brought into full and continuous production?
The ironworks projects should be considered as processes oftechnology transfer rather than fully fledged and completedtransfers. In spite of this lack of success, or maybe becauseof it, the history of the ironworks and the Swedes also forms afruitful case to put other questions of wide relevance. Itexposes workings and effects of colonialism and offers anexplanation of the late development of India's iron and steelindustry and analyses of the complex totality forming theprerequisites for a successful transfer of technology. The longtraditions of bloomery ironmaking in India and ismarginalisation is also discussed.
Landscapes of Technology Transferis a comprehensiveempirical study. From a local and individual perspective ittraces lines of connection across boundaries of time andgeography. The historical landscapes of technology transfer aredescribed in their cultural, social, economic and politicaldimensions and the thesis underlines the importance of a closeacquaintance with local settings and conditions, where historyis manifested in a physical presence. The remains of theironworks and theirlocal landscapes in present-day India areused as a central source for writing their histories. There isalso a strong emphasis on the use of photographs and drawingsas sources.
The outcome of the projects was the result of the interplaybetween the local and the global, between a diversity ofconcrete factors influencing the construction of the works andtheir running and their colonial character. The studyemphasises the importance of technological systems andnetworks, both on a micro and a macro level. On a local leveldemanding logistics, a sometimes adverse climate, theprocurement of charcoal and iron ore in sufficient quantitiesand the build up of knowledge of ironmaking posed serious butnot insurmountable difficulties. Most obstacles were overcomealready during the first few years of the 1860s, the period ofthe Swedes, but to put the works into full and continuousproduction would have needed perseverance and purposefulefforts to support and protect the iron production, at leastduring an initial period. In the end the position of India as acolonial dependency, subjected to the primacy of Britishinterests, set the limits of the projects.

Full textConstantinople was a passage way for foreign travellers in the 19th century. This city which hosted different cultures, different nations over a long period of history has not only attracted the historians but also been a center of focus for literary specialists. Constantinople, being a bridge between the East and the West, has created a mystique and exotic fascination for travellers, enticing them into a fabulous dream world. Almost all of the travellers have had a unique way of expressing their feelings when visiting or imagining the tombs, the Harem, Grand Bazaar and other sites. The purpose of this study is to find out how the cosmopolitan city Constantinople and its daily life style has been portrayed by these travellers and the effects of their writings on Turkish literature

Full textFrom 1860, the Vosges department has its ruling classes, an outcome of enlargement of eligible voters. They are limited in number, few and far less than the national average are very wealthy, even though their number is growing. There are two dominant groups: the manufactures who are the richest especially after the establishment of the cotton factories in Alsace from 1871 the professions, less well off, abstain a majority on the "conseil general"; three lawyers connected to political circles in Paris are nationally known notables (Louis Buffet, Jules Ferry, Jules Méline). There are not any large estate-owners, just a few big and medium land-owners or foresters whose influence on their district is diminishing. The conservative notables led by buffet, are elected as deputies for three mandates after the fall of the empire, three out of eight to the "assemblée nationale", they are defeated in 1876 and 1877: from then on they only keep a few local strongholds. Symbolic of their decline, Louis Buffet leaves the local political scene in the Vosges. The principal targets of criticism from the empire's prefects the republican notables’ strengthen their unity with the free masons especially in the mountains which are the most anti-plebiscite area. After 1871, under the leadership of Jules Ferry their influence grows continuously over the cotton manufacturers, the farmers and the town dwellers. The Ferry "system" rules over the department from 1877 on

Full textDiscussing the historical problem of transgressions offers us the possibility to investigate more carefully a remarkable characteristic of the Brazilian social formations during colonial and imperial times. In social formation of Brazilian history transgressions were frequent and continuous. At the same time fundamental trait of the way of living of such societies people daily performed a visible social toleration for transgressions. Therefore, the study of the transgressions performances offers the possibility to understand a bit more about the complexity of this social process in the Brazilian society in a tense but stable balance, no doubt, between what was forbidden and what was in fact permitted in the everyday social behavior. This work intends to study the problematical of the transgressions on a very fundamental moment of the Brazilian history, the second half of the XIX century, when in between conflicts and tensions, it was started the process through which the colonial configurations that defined the social, political, economical and cultural life during more than three centuries had to gradually give in to new political and social-economical arrangements that would support the construction of the contemporary Brazil. For this reason the years 1850-1900 are a crucial time, marked by difficult and traumatic transition. At Taubaté, a town located in the middle Vale do Paraíba Paulista, region of economical importance for the province of São Paulo and for the empire, the changes marked strongly the everyday living. Taubaté of the second half of the nineteenth century places itself as a privileged scenery for a study over the dynamic of transgression-permission. This dynamic, no mistake one of the effective remains of the colonial nature in the Brazilian society of the nineteenth did not disappear during the changes that marked the final decades of the century. The complex game of tensions between transgress and permit persisted. But the transgressions there lined became progressively more difficult, facing resistance, hostility and impasses.

The thesis examines in detail the stages of projects, whether routine or extraordinary, from the first conceptualisation or definitive plan to the deliberation of the general consil of ponts et chaussees (which are decisions) and to the organisation of the building sites, finally its major objective, a policy for the public works of marseille. Succeeding large planned projects decided on and pursued under the july monarchy, such as the amelioration of the road networks,; construction of suspension bridges over the durance, the marseille canal, the railroad from avignon to marseille and the port of joliette, are the works of the second empire. The study focuses on marseille, from the "national workshops" of 1848 to the extension of the ports and the city towards the north resulting in urban upheavals. From the relative simplicity of the mechanism of the decision around 1840 to the more complex assemblees of the fifties,. .

Full textThrough the process of secularization which the philosophers of the Frühaufklarung have contributed to, the ethical and political area of middle-class theatre progressively develops. A new class, that's to Say, the rising middle class in the second half of the 18th century, calls for its own amusements. Liberalism and Viennese operetta, especially its creator Franz von Suppè represent the context of the investigations of this thesis. The first part of the thesis describes the musical and theatrical forms pnor to operetta and sets up the elaboration of ideological and aesthetic concepts with derence to the birth of Liberalism and its repercussions upon theatre and music. indead, the Austnan liberalism (1860-1879) exerts an influence on mentalities and arts. Maybe operetta is the most characteristic manifestation of this transfer. The second part of the thesis deals with the sociopoliticai and musical analysis of two operettas from Franz von Suppè who is considered to be the father of the classical Viennese operetta : Die schöne Galathee (1865), Boccaccio (1879). Political and economic theuries of Liberalism, as well as its deviations form the background in which the advent of the Viennese operetta takes place, musical and theatrical expression of the rising middle class. The main lines of reflection are the federating and socializing roles of the Viennese operetta in the midst -of the city, women's emancipation, anti-Semitism, anticlericalism, arnong other themes

Full textPrestigious genre, heir to a long tradition, the history painting experiences multiple evolutions throughout the 19th century. Under the Second Empire, for a long time a regime marked by its "black legend", the genre still remained to be defined. Its characteristics fix it deeply in its century, while conferring it an originality : an emanation of the history painting and its transformations in the first half of the century, a precursor of its reformulation under the Third Republic, the history painting under the Second Empire is marked by its singularity. The study of the representations of history painted between 1860 and 1870 is revealing there. Straightaway, the correlation between the creations and the term of "history painting" raises questions. Indeed, while remaining in a classic subject (history), these "paintings on historic subject" get closer alternately to the genre painting and the historic genre, and are contaminated by the realism and the interest in the local colour. If the academic expression of "history painting" still suits for the painting of battle, the latter is also touched by the modernity and transformed into military painting. The approach of the painters of historic subjects presents recurrences. An important preparatory work, on texts, sources, even archaeological discoveries, is put in the service of positivist reconstructions of the events, in order to raise the interest of the public. The choice of the subjects varies according to the intentions: educate the spectator, show an idealised past used as directory of moving scenes, or develop an ideology. Beyond the historicist dimension of education about the national past, these pieces of art show a certain state of the historic thought, the main currents of ideas that influenced the painters. Moreover, the latter convey and spread a conception of history that reaches the contemporary through the press and the illustration, and so they contribute to build the image that will be anchored in the memory. A traditional mean of propaganda and "manufacturing" of the power, the history painting raises the question of the cultural practices of the government of the Second Empire. The instrumentalisation of the image by the State is real, but is restricted to the paintings of battle and of the imperial splendour. Napoleon III, in his acquisition policy, adapts himself to the creations more than he generates them. On the other hand, he exercises an indirect influence: the staging of his person, the imperial couple and its tastes in history, offer a series of themes exploited by the painters. The painting of historic subject is not instrumentalised within the framework of the envois of the State. The local elites play an essential role in the development of this genre: municipalities and Learned societies, town councillors and scholars encourage creations on national or local history. The representation of the history between 1860 and 1870 reveals the essential place of history, in its erudite and popular aspects, on a national and local scale, inspired by the feeling of attachment to the "small homeland" as well as the nation
