Spears, Samuel Bruce. "A Study of Michael Praetorius' Megalynodia Sionia: An Historical and Stylistic Analysis and Selective Performing Edition." Scholarly Repository, 2009. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/283.
Full textAbstract:
Michael Praetorius was one of the most prolific and innovative Lutheran composers of the early seventeenth century. His Megalynodia Sionia ("The Magnificats of Zion") is a collection of fourteen Magnificats for use in Vespers services. The compositions in the collection present a series of complicated issues that modern editors and performers must unravel to be able to perform this music. The most common method for performing Magnificats at this time was alternatim, in which different musical groups alternated in performing verses. For eleven of the Magnificats in Megalynodia, only six of the twelve verses are supplied by Praetorius. Appropriate sources for the other verses must be identified. Also, there was a tradition in the Lutheran church of inserting chorales between the verses of the Magnificat on feast days. The chorales would be songs associated with the occasion, for example Christmas or Easter. Praetorius gives important instructions to prospective performers as to how these insertions should be chosen and performed. Eleven of the Magnificats are parodies of works by other composers, Orlando di Lasso in particular. Parody technique is the use of polyphonic music by another composer as source material for a new composition. It was a very typical compositional method of the sixteenth century. Lasso started a Continental tradition of using parody technique in the Magnificat; in this collection Praetorius follows in his footsteps. One must take all these issues into account in attempting to create modern performing editions of this music. The study culminates in performing editions of two Magnificats from the collection.

Full textAbstract:
Jupiter Trojan asteroid dynamics have been studied for a long time but it is only within the last decades that the known population has become large enough to make other studies meaningful. In four articles I have been scratching the surface of the unknown Trojan knowledge space. Paper I presents photometric observations confirming a larger variety in surface redness for the smaller Trojans compared to the larger ones, in line with the groups in the outer main asteroid belt. However, the largest Trojans are significantly redder compared to the largest Cybele and Hilda asteroids. Paper II is an investigation of the Trojan discovery completeness. The analysis shows that all Trojans down to a limiting absolute magnitude of H=11.5 mag have been discovered. Missing Trojans in the almost discovery-completed section should have inclinations above the mean of the same group. The faintest Trojans are discovery biased due to orbit orientations similar to the Milky Way. Paper III is a general review of dynamical and physical properties of the discovery-completed sample of Jupiter Trojans found in Paper II. The two Trojan swarms are often treated as being equal, but are different in a number of details. Two known facts are that the L5 swarm is less rich, while the L4 swarm has a larger fraction of low inclination Trojans. Trojans are in general red objects but the mean redness is higher for Trojans which have not collided compared to Trojans in families. Paper IIII is an investigation of Trojan collisions, family detection and evolution. Collision circumstances were mapped using numerical simulations and recorded Trojan close approaches. Synthetic families were created and evolved numerically. The result suggests that the HCM family detection technique can find Trojan families even in a densely populated parameter space. However, interlopers cannot be avoided at any level but their contribution should be less than 30%. Synthetic families can be identified with backwards orbital integrations for times up to a Gyr-scale. However, there are discrepancies between real Trojan families and my synthetic families.

Parisi, Anthony. "A theory of constitutive tropes." Diss., University of Iowa, 2019. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/7009.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is to provide a metaphysical theory of properties and scientific laws. This sentence will require some unpacking. By a ‘metaphysical’ theory here, I mean a theory of what exists in the world. In this investigation I am primarily concerned with a theory of what properties there are in the world and the role they play in scientific laws. This may be contrasted with a linguistic or epistemic project, as it is not primarily about our language, ideas, or theorizing but rather about what is in the world itself. Properties are what we may pre-philosophically think of as the characteristics of an object: such as its height, weight, color, etc. Investigation may cause us to doubt whether some of these pre-philosophical properties are genuine in a metaphysical sense: whether or not the property is actually present as a feature of the world. By scientific laws, I mean the statements we make in the form of exceptionless generalities about the world within the sciences. Here I do not mean to evaluate how science comes about these generalizations, only that they do and how these generalizations may be grounded in a metaphysical theory of properties. The link between these two things: properties and scientific laws, comes about because our scientific laws prominently feature properties: velocity, temperature, charge, viscosity, etc.
After a review of some of the theories currently proposed in the philosophical literature along with a treatment of some of the problems that arise out of these theories, I will propose a new theory. This theory, entitled ‘Constitutive Trope Theory’ is a form of a ‘bundle trope theory’ as it proposes that objects in the world are composed entirely out of particularized properties. However, rather than proposing a primitive relation that does the bundling, this theory will propose that, at least for the objects we are familiar with, properties arise out of relations between lower-level properties that instantiate them. For example, a mammal may exist because of the relationship between the organs that lead to its unique properties as a mammal. Those organs in turn exist because of relationships between their cells that lead to their unique properties as a particular kind of organ. And so on down the chain until we hit ‘foundational properties’: properties which are not dependent on any other properties for their existence. I will say very little about these properties as I do not believe that any such properties have currently been found and will argue that such theorizing is premature before such properties have been empirically identified. Following this account, I will consider some of the problems that must be overcome and some final considerations in favor of this theory over other competing theories of properties and scientific laws.

Hellwig, Heinrik Ziehm. "Why tropes cannot be metaphysically simple." Texas A&M University, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/85955.
Full textAbstract:
A popular concept in contemporary metaphysics is that of metaphysical
simplicity - the idea that an existent can have no parts. One reason for this is that the
notion of a simple is crucial to discussions of the composition of single objects.
Simples, if real, are the basic units that, when combined in various ways, make up all
other objects. Keith Campbell claims that tropes - particularized properties - can be
simple. In this essay I argue, against Campbell, that tropes cannot be simple. They are
made up of at least two parts - a bare particular and a universal.
In Section 1 I give an exhaustive account of what it is to be a simple. Then in
Section 2 I discuss basic particulars and what conditions must hold for a simple to be
basic. Then in Section 3 I explain the nature of tropes and sketch out the parameters of
Campbell's trope ontology. In Section 4 I argue that simple tropes actually have
universal properties as parts. In Section 5 I give a logical argument to prove the
correctness of the argument in Section 4. Then in Section 6 I take up several possible
objections to my claim that tropes are not simple and argue that each one fails. Finally
in Section 7 I conclude that tropes need to have an individuating component as a part
and remark that tropes' location is not sufficient to be this component. My final claim is
that tropes are not simple and they cannot be basic units in any robust sense.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2002.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 136-140).
This thesis proposes a framework to model intervention in education systems using technology: the Learning Atmosphere. The motivation is to show that innovative learning with expressive technologies can happen even in economically disadvantaged regions, such as public education systems in Brazil, where our case studies took place. The contribution of the thesis is to explore ways in which mutual enrichment can be achieved through collective displacements of habits and mindsets taken for granted. The case studies demonstrate the importance and possibility of a powerful learning experience that builds up from the local culture and expertise, elements often disregarded in schools. Technology plays a central role, enabling diverse and innovative ways of working, expressing and building. In addition, it makes possible epistemological diversity, empowering of students and fulfillment to teachers, reinforcing the community's own livelihood. The core elements within the Learning Atmosphere are: -- Enhance the concept of generative themes using technology. -- Mix and match expressive media, especially low-cost technologies. -- Invest on relationship building and challenge established power relations. The legend of the Trojan Horse has the important role of warning us against the easy way into schools, the trivialization of ideas and the superficial experiences that do not change the praxis and mindsets in schools.

Med hjälp av Diffraktion & Critical Design gör vi vår egen tolkning av en skapandeprocess där vi utmanar det en spelare hade kunnat förvänta sig av en hjälte inom spelvärlden för att veta om det faktiskt finns konkreta anledningar till dessa troper eller om man lika gärna hade kunnat klara sig utan dem.Genom denna designprocess får vi en djupare förståelse för skapandet av karaktärer men också vetande om hur man utmanar och vad som behöver utmanas när det gäller stereotyper, normer, troper inom spelvärlden. En förståelse för hur man tilltalar sina spelare och uppmanar saker som inklusivitet och medvetenhet i allmänhet..With this Bachelor thesis we’re trying to analyse the creation of heroes within video games, we’re researching what kind of tropes etched themselves into our industries heroes, problematize them and find out if they still have a place, a reason to still be applied in the creative process.With the help of Diffraction & Critical Design we attempt our own interpretation of the creative process where we challenge what expectations a player may have from a hero within the gaming world to understand if there is a solid reason for these tropes to exist or if you might as well set them aside.Through this designprocess we get a deeper understanding for the creation of characters but also knowledge of how to challenge and what needs challenging when it comes to stereotypes, norms, tropes within the gaming world. An understanding on how to connect with your players and encourage things like inklusion and awareness in general.

Recommendation systems (SR) have been widely studied in recent decades. The growth of the Internet and the consolidation of Web 2.0 have contributed to the emergence of various services such as social networks, blogs, collaborative platforms, among others, resulting in increased volume of information. This scenario has fostered the development of new research on how to use such information to mitigate limitations of SRs and improve their quality. The recommendation of movies became one of the most discussed topics in the literature about SRs. The industry also contributed to its popularity with the growth of streaming services such as Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, and Google Play. In such scenario, different sources of information in Web have been exploited to extract features to describe movies. The most common approaches use features such as genre information, movie direction, cast, etc. Other approaches attempt to characterize the story itself by means of information about the content of movies, its story structure, elements of narrative and characters. Such content can be represented by Tropes. Tropes are the elements that make up a fictional story found in movies, books, comics and other contents. In this work, we present a systematic study of Tropes, investigating its relevance to the context of a story and how they can be incorporated in Movie Recommender Systems. The experiments performed in this research suggest that hybrid models based on the combination of tropes with the films genres can improve the precision of the predictions about 3% in comparison to traditional methods.

O crescimento da Internet e a consolidação da Web 2.0 contribuíram para o surgimento de diversos serviços, como redes sociais, blogs, plataformas colaborativas, entre outros, resultando no aumento significativo do volume de informação. Este cenário fomentou o desenvolvimento de pesquisas com o intuito de utilizar tal informação para mitigar algumas limitações dos SRs e melhorar sua qualidade. A recomendação de filmes tornou-se um dos tópicos mais abordados na literatura no domínio de SRs junto com comércio eletrônico. Essa popularidade foi alavancada pela indústria com o crescimento dos serviços de streaming (Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, Google Play). Neste contexto, diferentes fontes de informação, tipicamente disponibilizadas por usuários em sítios da Web, vêm sendo exploradas para extração de características dos filmes. As fontes mais comuns proveem informações como gênero, direção, elenco, etc. Outras abordagens tentam extrair informações a respeito do conteúdo dos filmes, como estrutura da história, elementos da narrativa, personagens, de modo que se possa caracterizar a história em si. Tal conteúdo pode ser representado através de Tropes. Tropes são elementos que compõem uma história fictícia que pode ser contada através de filmes, livros, quadrinhos entre outros tipos de mídia. Neste trabalho, apresentamos um estudo sistemático sobre Tropes, investigando sua relevância para o contexto de uma história e como podem ser incorporados em Sistemas de Recomendação de Filmes. Os experimentos executados neste pesquisa sugerem que modelos híbridos baseados na combinação de tropes com os gêneros dos filmes, podem melhorar a precisão das previsões em quase 3% em comparação com o métodos tradicionais.

A fala é um fator importante durante o processo de aprendizagem da escrita; a criança evoca as imagens articulatórias dos fonemas que ela ouve e dos que ela mesma produz, para fazer uma correta relação fonema/grafema. Um fenômeno bastante comum, tanto no período de aprendizagem da escrita quanto nas séries subseqüentes, são as trocas de letras na escrita. Algumas delas envolvem a grafia de consoantes plosivas e fricativas que se distinguem pelo traço de sonoridade (pares mínimos). Este trabalho analisa acusticamente a fala de crianças da 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental, que apresentam esse tipo de trocas na escrita, sem, no entanto apresentá-las na fala. Foram analisados segmentos plosivos e fricativos em diferentes contextos de tonicidade, diante das vogais [e], [o] e [a] e comparados informantes femininos e masculinos. Nesse estudo, a duração foi o parâmetro de análise escolhido: VOT para as consoantes plosivas e duração total do segmento para as fricativas. Foram analisados dois grupos: um composto por crianças que não apresentavam trocas do traço surdo/sonoro na escrita, denominado grupo controle; e outro, formado por crianças que as apresentavam, denominado grupo trocas. Os dados evidenciaram diferenças significativas entre meninas e meninos tanto no grupo controle quanto no grupo trocas. Também foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos analisados controle e trocas na duração dos segmentos plosivos velares e alveolares não vozeados e fricativos labiais vozeados e palatais não vozeados. Em alguns dos dados analisados, foram observadas características acústicas não previstas pela literatura da área; tais características foram tratadas aqui como inadequações acústicas. Estas inadequações ocorreram em todas as consoantes analisadas e nos dois grupos pesquisados, porém mostraram-se muito mais freqüentes no grupo trocas. Foram realizados, ainda, testes perceptuais a partir de sílabas com e sem inadequações acústicas; os resultados desses testes mostraram que não há diferenças perceptuais entre o grupo controle e o trocas. Assim, há evidências de que a relação entre imprecisões articulatórias e as trocas na grafia dos segmentos plosivos e fricativos é positiva.

Full textAbstract:
La crise du monde industriel et le glissement vers le "post-industriel" suscite une interrogation majeure sur la dynamique interne des villes industrielles. A partir de l'exemple de troyes, ville moyenne tres industrielle mais meconnue, et de l'industrie de la maille, son industrie historique longtemps unique, la reflexion se deroule en trois temps. La premiere partie analyse par une demarche historique le devenir de la bonneterie auboise et troyenne, depuis son siecle triomphant (1860-1960) jusqu'a sa maturite (1960-1976) et sa crise (1976). Quel capital industriel est aujourd'hui en jeu, pour quel type de capitale industrielle? la deuxieme partie s'interroge sur les possibilites d'une alternative economique et ses consequences geographiques, a partir de la diversification volontaire menee durant la croissance (1950-1975). L'etude des fondements et des mutations de la geographie troyenne s'efforce de montrer le poids persistant de l'industrie textile dans troyes. La troisieme partie revient donc vers la realite industrielle de la ville, en depit de sa crise, et se consacre au territoire industriel et a sa politique d'amenagement. Lorsque l'industrie est dans la ville, la force publique ne doit-elle pas definir les conditions, les moyens et les objectifs d'une politique globale de gestion de la presence industrielle? l'etude de troyes, capitale de la maille en crise, vaut pour son diagnostic propre; elle a aussi une portee generale, a travers le concept de capitale d'une branche industrielle, sur la position des filieres regionales dans la desindustrialisation nationale et la rapport entre financement public et developpement local pratiques par les collectivites localesBased on an average town too often disregarded but a highly industrial one -troyes and his knitting industry-our study will follow three paths. The first part, a historical analysis, deals with the development of the knitting goods manufacturing in troyes and the aube region, from its prosperous times (1860-1960) to its climax (1960-1976) and its crisis (1976. . . ). Wich industrial capital interests are now at stake and for what sort of industrial city? the second part deals with the possibilities of an economic alternative and its geographical consequences, relying on the volontary diversification implemented during the grouth period (1950-1975). The study of the bases and the changes to the troyes geography shows the lasting predominance of the textile industry in this zone. The third part deals with the industrial aspect of the town, despite its crisis, the industrial layout and the planning policy. Whenever an industry exists within the town, shouldn't the public authorities set the rules, means and goals of a comprehensive management policy for this industry? this study of troyes, the knitting capital in crisis, leads to a local diagnosis; but it also conveys more general ideas about the concept of an industrial capital, the position of a provincial channels in the national process of "disindustrialisation", and the relation of public financing with local development as it is operated by local governement

Full textAbstract:
Though much research has gone into tackling the problem of creating interactive narratives, no software has yet emerged that can be used by story authors to create these new types of narratives without having to learn a programming language or narrative formalism. Widely-used formalisms in interactive narrative research, such as Propp's Morphology of the Folktale and Lehnert's Plot Units' allow users to compose stories out of pre-defined components, but do not allow them to define their own story components, or to create abstractions by embedding components inside of other components. Current tools for interactive narrative authoring, such as those that use Young's Mimesis architecture or Facade's drama manager approach, direct intelligent agents playing the roles of characters through use of planners. Though these systems can handle player interactions and adapt the story around them, they are inaccessible to story authors who lack technical or programming ability. This thesis proposes the use of Story Tropes to informally describe story components. We introduce TropICAL, a controlled natural language system for the creation of tropes which allows non-programmer story authors to describe their story components informally. Inspired by Propp's Morphology, this language allows for the creation of new story components and abstractions that allow existing components to be embedded inside of new ones. Our TropICAL language compiles to the input language for an Answer Set solver, which represents the story components in terms of a formal normative framework, and hence allows for the automated verification of story paths. These paths can be visualised as branching tree diagrams in the StoryBuilder tool, so that authors can visualise the effect of adding different tropes to their stories, aiding the process of authoring interactive narratives. We evaluate the suitability of these tools for interactive story construction through a thematic analysis of story authors’ completion of story-authoring tasks using TropICAL and StoryBuilder. The participants complete tasks in which they have to describe stories with different degrees of complexity, finally requiring them to reuse existing tropes in their own trope abstractions. The thematic analysis identifies and examines the themes and patterns that emerge from the story authors’ use of the tool, revealing that non-programmer story authors are able to create their own stories using tropes without having to learn a strict narrative formalism.

Full textAbstract:
La subordination dans l'oeuvre de Chrétien de Troyes a été étudiée selon deux méthodes différentes. Tout d'abord, il a été effectué une étude macroscopique montrant comment Chrétien utilisait de facon originale, au douzième siècle, la subordination dans le discours et la narration. Ensuite, cette étude a été approfondie par une approche microscopique consistant a analyser les différents outils de la subordination que sont les conjonctions et les locutions conjonctives, à l'aide des méthodes de statistique lexicale. A l'issue de cette double approche, on en a conclu que Chrétien de Troyes, que ce soit au niveau de l'esprit de la subordination ou de son expression, faisait partie des écrivains ayant poussé le plus loin les recherches sur les ressources offertes par la subordinationSubordination in the romances of Chretien de Troyes has been investigated in two different ways. First of all, a macroscopic study has been made to show how Chretien, in the twelfth century, used subordination in speech and narration in an inventive way. Then, this study has been completed by a microscopic approach consisting in analysing the various instruments of subordination represented by conjunctions and conjunctive locutions through statistical methods. Following this double approache, we have come to te conclusion that Chretien de Troyes was among those who have made the most elaborate researches on the possibilities offered by subordination

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses ethnographic research and interrogation of a number of discourses and tropes to examine the street-side performances of a group of young male kampung-dwellers in a part of urban Yogyakarta I call Kusuman. These young men, who refer to their group as the cah-cah (lads) are located between the socially defined roles of uncircumcised children and married heads of households, and have an ambiguous status in their communities. Among other lads in the same liminal phase they act out a series of personas in an attempt to construct meaningful identities. Their performances are re-iterations or re-interpretations of tropes to which they are exposed. The Javaneseness of wayang, elaborate politeness codes and stratified language, the Indonesianness of Pancasila, mutual help and military parades, and a Javanised mystical version of Islam form a background to their knowledge of self and society. These idioms also offer scope for playing out resistant readings, through reversal and caricature, as do the mystical martial-arts comics they devour and the trickster heroes of their folk mythology. Tourism is a major cultural and economic influence on Kusuman, and their repertoire of tropes is expanded by the performances of the "wild guides", English-speaking opportunists who seek sex, money and to "change their thinking with a western woman" among the many tourists passing through Kusuman.

This work presents a proof of concept of an Unsupervised Learning Trojan. The Unsupervised Learning Trojan presents new challenges over previous work on the Neural network Trojan, since the attacker does not control most of the environment. The current work will presented an analysis of how the attack can be successful by proposing new assumptions under which the attack can become a viable one. A general analysis of how the compromise can be theoretically supported is presented, providing enough background for practical implementation development. The analysis was carried out using 3 selected algorithms that can cover a wide variety of circumstances of unsupervised learning. A selection of 4 encoding schemes on 4 datasets were chosen to represent actual scenarios under which the Trojan compromise might be targeted. A detailed procedure is presented to demonstrate the attack's viability under assumed circumstances. Two tests of hypothesis concerning the experimental setup were carried out which yielded acceptance of the null hypothesis. Further discussion is contemplated on various aspects of actual implementation issues and real world scenarios where this attack might be contemplated.

Previous issue date: 2009-06-26Prover without mirrors, without curtains and with breath for indifferences. Exchanges not always are symmetrical, sometimes it is not received of turn what happens, being completely disarranged in the nakedness of the solitude. The exchange can be a substitution by other ways, even a tear, of those resonant ones and strident ones, of tight clothes, which is the inadequacy itself in the body itself. Initiated like artistic proposal into 2004, persons are invited in order that of exchanging trying on the clothes like device for the hurt multiples. Desire of thinking the power of dressing other through a sensitive styling where skin, memory, cloth, clothes cross the bodies and move relations in play. Here, exchanging if it brings near of the interchange, of the exchange, of the change, of the inversion, of the chaotic one. The idea is to activate perceptions when the clothes rethought like way of expression and experimentation, impregnating and mixing different universes, in the search of to be reinvented to you, to other and to the world, in an infinite conversation (odds and ends blanchotianos). To exchange: verb-concept. Methodology of the senses along this reading. The term itself exchanges with you himself on account of the chance, of the events along the time, imposing other ways for the exchange itself. Play of senses in constant construction. To rehearse movements, since it sways there will be necessary resulting from the exchange. Written far from being a dry land, spread the glance out while undoing accomodations in order that another place to provoke the appearance to the horizon. To vanish in words, sensations proliferate. To meet again in the experimental reading, you, the exchange
Provador sem espelhos, sem cortinas e com fôlego para desapegos. Trocas nem sempre são simétricas, às vezes não se recebe de volta o que se dá, ficando completamente desconcertado na nudez da solidão. A troca pode ser uma substituição por outros caminhos, até mesmo um rasgo, daqueles sonoros e estridentes, de roupa apertada, que é a própria inadequação no próprio corpo. Iniciado como proposta artística em 2004, pessoas são convidadas para experimentar a roupa como dispositivo para os múltiplos sentidos do trocar. Desejo de pensar o poder do vestir o outro através de um styling sensível onde pele, memória, tecido, roupa atravessam os corpos e movem relações em jogo. Aqui, o trocar se aproxima do intercâmbio, da permuta, da mudança, da inversão, do caótico. A idéia é ativar percepções ao repensar a roupa como meio de expressão e experimentação, impregnando e misturando diferentes universos, na busca do reinventar-se a si, ao outro e ao mundo, numa conversa infinita (retalhos blanchotianos). Trocar: verbo-conceito. Metodologia dos sentidos ao longo dessa leitura. O próprio termo troca consigo mesmo por conta do acaso, dos acontecimentos ao longo do tempo, impondo outros caminhos para a própria troca. Jogo de sentidos em constante construção. Ensaiar movimentos, pois ginga será necessária para o decorrer da troca. Escrita longe de ser terra firme, estende o olhar ao desfazer acomodações para provocar o surgimento de um outro lugar ao horizonte. Desfazer-se em palavras, proliferar sensações. Reencontrar na leitura experimental, você, a troca

Full textAbstract:
En privilégiant l'aspect historique et topographique à une époque où la production de manuscrits nous permet d'écrire l'histoire, nous mesurons la puissance des seigneuries urbaines tout au long des XIIe et XIIIe siècles à Troyes. Agrandissant le réseau urbain, asséchant les zones humides, développant les enceintes pour mieux se défendre, les comtes, dont Hugues et Henri Ier, permettent aux hommes de trouver les conditions d'un épanouissement. C'est le fait du prince qui donne un parcellaire si caractéristique. Il faut y ajouter une liberté communale qui permet aux habitants d'être libérés d'une domination corporelle. Par ailleurs la noblesse se raréfie dès lors toutes les conditions sont réunies pour que les établissements religieux étendent leur pouvoir. Notre processus de développement urbain met en évidence le rôle primordial des Religieux, aidés par l'incitation juridique des comtes de Champagne dans la seconde moitié du XIIe siècle. Ainsi, les institutions ecclésiastiques se constituent en de véritables seigneuries urbaines que l'on peut visualiser à travers un ensemble de cartes. Codifiée par les conciles de Latran, la paroisse devient un droit exercé par un prêtre, sur un espace délimité qui recoupe les usages issus de dotation primitive. Le réseau paroissial structure l'espace urbain autour d'églises et de monastères où la domination s'exerce rue par rue, maison par maison. La démarche régressive permet d'établir une pondération de ces paroisses par le biais d'une cartographie originale. En exaltant le quartier à travers le saint patron et des processions au parcours bien délimité, le prêtre accompagné de ses paroissiens rejoint quelquefois le cortège processionnel de l'évêque, offrant de cette façon une spiritualité vivante, synthèse d'un temps religieux et d'un temps civique. Visiblement, le réseau paroissial structure l'espace et les hommes, les réunit pour donner cœur à des manifestations riches en ferveur religieuse dans cette cité humaine et divineAs we focus on historical and topographical aspects at a time when the production of manuscripts enables us to write history, we realize how powerful were urban seigniories throughout 12th and 13th c. Troyes. The enlargement of the urban network, the drying out of humid areas, and the development of surrounding walls for a better defence, earls, among whom Hugues and Henri Ist, gave conditions good enough for the populations to develop. We owe to fiats such a patchy aspect of the city. More, residents within the community were freed from their corporeal domination. Besides, when the nobility became scarce, all the conditions were gathered and as a result the religious establishment extended its power. The way our city developed leads us to put the stress on the vital role of the Religious, helped by juridical incitements from the Comtes de Champagne in the second half of the 12th century. That way ecclesiastical institutions became urban seigniories that can be seen through a group or maps. After codification at the Latran Council, priests exercised rights over parishes the extension of which was an area limited by customs deriving directly from first dotation. The parish network structured the urban environment around churches and monasteries which held control over every street and every household. The regressive approach enabled the establishment of a balancing of the said parishes, helped in this by original cartographies. With patron saints inspiring the neighbourhood and processions following a well-delimited itinerary, the priests and their parishioners sometimes joined processions led by bishops, offering thus a living spirituality which is the perfect conjunction of religious time and civic time. It seems that the parish network structured and united some areas with the population living there, and by so doing gave birth to rallies full of religious fervour in this human and divine city

Full textAbstract:
Après son installation à Chypre en 1192 en tant que suzerain de l’île, Guy de Lusignan centralise l’autorité militaire, afin d’instaurer la défense de sa nouvelle possession. En effet, l’île de Chypre a toujours fait l’objet de convoitises et de conquêtes. Poste avancé en Méditerranée, l’insularité de Chypre lui confère une protection naturelle face à ses voisins, ce qui ne l’empêche pas de subir des raids et des attaques de la part de ses voisins continentaux. Sous la souveraineté de l’Empire byzantin jusqu’au VIIe siècle, elle est conquise en 645 par les Arabes, puis récupérée en 965 par Nicéphore II Phocas. L’île accueille des guerres sur son sol au VIIe siècle, mais également des révoltes urbaines, notamment au XIe siècle. Ces révoltes isolées sont dues pour la plupart à l’éloignement de l’Empire. Les Chypriotes, Grecs pour la majorité d’entre eux, manifestent leur attachement à Byzance et rejettent de ce fait l’usurpation d’Isaac Comnène en 1184. Ce dernier est la cause de la guerre qui marque l’entrée de l’île deAfter settling on the island of Cyprus as the suzerain of the land in 1192, Guy de Lusignan first actions were to consolidate his authority and establish strong defences on his new holding. Cyprus has always been coveted and fought for: its geographical situation in the Mediterranean sea as well as its insularity provided a natural protection in front of its neighbours, but it never stopped the many attacks and raids. Ruling by the Byzantine empire until the VIIth century, the island is conquered by the Arabs in 645, and won back in 965 by Nicéphore II Bocas. Wars will be fought on the island during the VIIth century, but Cyprus will also be torn by revolts, particularly during the XIth century. Cypriots, Greeks for the most part, riot as a testimony of the bonds they feel for Byzantium and resent Isaac Comnène's usurpation in 1184. He will be the main cause of the war that will see Cyprus fall under Latin dominion in 1192. Even if the crusaders had already been using the island as a port of call since the XIth century, the island only became a part of the occidental

Full textAbstract:
We Support Our Troops is a series of three mural sized prints in panoramic format. The images can be described as Rochester urban landscapes in which the commercial images of the billboards were replaced with images of Latin American resistance movements. The title is an appropriation of the United States pro-war slogan twisted into the support context of these movements. The prints are made in the contemporary and non-toxic printmaking technique 4 Color Inversion Intaglio-Type, developed by Master Printmaker Keith Howard. The Intaglio-Type techniques are the ones in which the photopolymer film ImagOn® is used.
A technical and historical approach is used in this written document. Included is a detailed explanation of the process with descriptions of the photographic equipment and software used for the image capture and creation of the landscapes. A step-by-step description of the 4 Color Intaglio-Type technique follows, from making the plates physically to the printing process. This technical walkthrough illustrates why this Intaglio-Type technique is the optimum fusion of the digital imagery with traditional printmaking techniques. Also, the description highlights the large format printing difficulties overcome in this research, with new possibilities yet to discover with the Akua Colors® inks.
The Latin American resistance movements referenced in this work are: The EZLN (National Zapatista Liberation Army) from Chiapas, Mexico; the APPO (Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca), from Oaxaca, Mexico; the EPB (Popular Boricua Army) or Macheteros from Puerto Rico; and the Piqueteros from Argentina. A historical overview of each of these movements is included.
Through this thesis I intend to shed light on the economic disparity between the United States and Latin American countries caused by their political relationship. To identify myself with a political movement, rather than to educate or criticize the status quo. In order to effectively make this statement, the images were carefully worked in terms of composition, color and content. These elements included in the large panoramic format are strong enough to entice the viewers to stop, look, enjoy and ultimately reflect on the meaning behind the images.

Le caractere atypique de guillaume d'angleterre se degage nettement: la forme de ce conte, ces motifs, ces themes different fondamentalement des autres productions de chretien de troyes. En revanche, le poete champenois et son rival ont tente, tous deux, de creer un ideal chevaleresque et amoureux, fonde sur la conciliation de la "fin'amor" et du mariage, de la passion et de la prouesse. Cependant, gautier d'arras recherche la vraisemblance, et tente d'edifier son public en developpant a travers ses oeuvres un ideal evangelique, alors que chretien de troyes poete aristocratique, a prefere masquer le "sen" de ses romans derriere le merveilleux bretonThis thesis is about the rivalry between gautier d'arras and chretien de troyes.

Full textAbstract:
Les vitraux légendaires du haut-choeur de la cathédrale de Troyes (XIIIe siècle) occupent les fenêtres supérieures ainsi que celles du triforium. Si ceux des ouvertures sommitales ont peu souffert, ceux du niveau médian ont été très perturbés au cours du XVIIIe siècle, puis restaurés au XIXe siècle. L'ensemble glorifie la cathédrale de Troyes et, par la même, le diocèse, à travers l'évocation des saints et des grands évêques troyens. L'emplacement des oeuvres répond à des besoins liturgiques et le choix de certains sujets s'explique par la volonté de pallier le manque de façade occidentale, réalisée au XVIe siècle. Ces oeuvres sont le fruit de deux ateliers. Le premier travaille déjà sur les verrières les plus occidentales avant l'ouragan de 1228 ayant entraîné l'effondrement du choeur primitif. Le second atelier intervient autour de 1235. Le triforium, non vitré avant 1228, est décoré par les deux groupes d'artistes qui travaillent concurremment à ce projet. Les derniers vitraux sont posés vers 1240.

Full textAbstract:
L'ensemble des travaux porte sur l'etude des tropes dans la poesie francaise du xvie siecle a parir d'un corpus constitue de textes de la pleiade. Ayant defini les figures d'expression, l'on s'inspire des methodes de l'analyse semique pour rendre compte de leur fonctionnement avant le recours a la notion d'incidence en linguistique guillaumienne qui, prenant en compte toutes les parties du discours permet aussi d'en cerner les correlations syntaxiques. Mais c'est le recours a la notion de subduction en linguistique guillaumienne, qui du point de vue semantique rend compte du trope quant a sa mecanique profonde dans la langue. Elle postule pour le trope un signe de puissance qui permet des effets de sens figure. Ensuite, l'on s'interesse aux modalites discursives des figures de pensee grace aux notions semantico-pragmatiques. L'analyse arrive a mettre en lumiere les faits de syntaxe et de poetique dans le cadre de la macro-structure textuelle, mais pour constater que ceux-ci ne cernent pas ce qu'il y a de stable et d'unique dans la langue. D'ou, une fois de plus, l'apport de la psycho-systematique avec la notion de subduction qui definit les contenus textuels a partir d'une matrice semantique. Ce facteur essentiel est permissif des instabilites semantiques dans la langue. On arrive ainsi a concevoir pour les deux genres d'occurrence, une hypothese souple et maniable en mesure d'expliquer les faits de discours, a partir d'une condition unique de langueThe whole works is based on figures of speech in the french poetry of xvi century from the corpus constituated by textes from the pleaid. The study of "expression figures" is inspired by the methods of semic analysis to emphasize their functioning, before the recourse concerning the notion of "incidence", as far as the guillaume linguistic is concerned. That permits to consider all the different discourse categories and also to determine all their syntaxtic correlations. Concerning the semantic phenomenon in the language, we call about guillaume notion of "subduction", that considers the "signe de puissance" which permits many effets of figurative meaning. We are interested in the second part about discursive modalities of "thougth figure". We consider the syntaxis and poetic facts in the setting of macro-textual structure. But those elements don't determine the unique and permanent point of the language. So the psycho-systematic notion is important added with "subduction" notion, which defines the textual contents from a semantic matrix. This is an essential factor which permits the semantic instabilities concerning the language. Thus, for these kinds of occurrence, we can succed in developing an adequat hipothesis that enables to explain discourse facts from a unique and single condition of language

Rodriguez, Joseph Paul. "Rise and fall: tropes of verticality in Middle English literature." Diss., University of Iowa, 2012. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1387.
Full textAbstract:
While excellent scholarly work exists on medieval space, especially in cultural geography, no book-length study of the conceptual implications of medieval vertical space exists. Attention has been lavished on the surface of the medieval world, while the heights go unseen and the depths go unplumbed. Using theories of space by scholars such as Henri Lefebvre and Jacques Le Goff, this project explores this lacuna through close reading of three late medieval English texts. The emphasis within Christian theology on a vertically-oriented model of virtue and the afterlife (ascending to Heaven, falling to Hell) was likely the initial reason for the prominence of verticality in the Middle Ages; the work of religious writers such as Bernard of Clairvaux and Walter Hilton set the stage for an explosion of the vertical imagination, as a blossoming of the incredible variety of what could be called "vertical thought." These ideas foreshadowed and accompanied similar developments in the secular arena, soon becoming an integral part of medieval life. By the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, closely interrelated--and strongly vertical--frameworks arose to structure complex concepts such as moral virtue, social class and kinship relations. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries saw several major developments in what can be called "vertical thought." The evolution of Augustinian ideas of religion and morality led to a nuanced vertical hierarchy of virtues and vices, while the rise of the middle class helped define the explicit division of class into vertical tiers. A shift in conceptions of kinship, from a synchronous network to a diachronic tree of ancestry, affected perceptions of gender and family. Finally, the growth of parliamentary and urban political capital in late medieval England, especially in response to the reign of child-king Henry VI, led to a battle of wills between the powerful men of London and their king.
These concerns with verticality were not limited to the realms of religious belief or temporal power, but manifested themselves in medieval literature and iconography as well. Highness and lowness feature in the plots, characters, and settings of many texts, and tropes of height and depth and rising and falling make frequent appearances textually and visually. Depictions of Heaven and Hell, for example, frequently make use of height and depth, and instances such as the Virgin Mary's ascension to Heaven or Lucifer's fall from Heaven to Hell involve explicitly vertical movement which parallels the perceived virtue of said figures. The Jesse tree, a genealogy of Christ, is usually illustrated as a tree emerging from a recumbent man's body, and reflects a newly vertical visualization of familial ties, while the concept of degree or scale, often represented as a ladder or stairs, is explicitly used as a framework for both moral virtue and socioeconomic status. Through discussion of three specific medieval tropes in literature and art-- the tree of Jesse in Chaucer's Merchant's Tale, the Dead Sea in Cleanness, and the giant of Lydgate's Triumphal Entry of Henry VI--this project attempts to demonstrate the importance of verticality in late medieval English literature from 1300-1500 and show how these tropes responded to and influenced changes in the way medieval, and modern, audiences perceived social class, kinship, politics, and religion.

Troyes est un centre artistique brillant à la fin du Moyen Âge. Les chantiers sont nombreux. Les édifices religieux s'ornent de vitraux. Quels en sont les commanditaires ? les auteurs ? D'après l'enquête menée à partir des Archives et des vitraux, les donateurs, ecclésiastiques et riches bourgeois, ouverts à la nouveauté, restent attachés à la tradition. Le rôle de l'Eglise est prépondérant pour l'iconographie. Sur les cinquante et un verriers recensés, vingt trois peuvent être dits peintres verriers. Leurs travaux sont en général intégrés aux chantiers. Probablement dépourvus de statuts, leurs ateliers sont de petites structures. Lors de demandes importantes, ils s'associent. Ils travaillent aussi dans de nombreuses églises de Champagne méridionale. Reproduction de verrières, fonctionnement en association, absence de propriété des œuvres et existence de réseaux de donateurs permettent d'interpréter l'homogénéité apparente des verrières. La notion d'Ecole troyenne de peinture sur verre est confirmée et préciséeTroyes is a bright artistic centre at the end of the Middle Ages. Sites are numerous. Religious buildings are ornamented with stained glasses. Who orders them? Who are the stained glass workers? From the investigation realized from the Archives and from the stained glasses, the donors, clergymen or rich persons of Troyes, opened up to innovation, remain closed to tradition. Church has a preponderant part in choosing iconography. Among the fifty-one identified stained glass workers, twenty-three can be said stained glass artists. Generally, their works are included in the sites. Probably without any statutes, their workshops are small structures. In case of important demand, the stained glass artists form associations. They worked too in numerous churches of southern Champagne. Reproduction of stained glasses, associations, absence of works property and existence of nets of donors enable to interpret the apparent homogeneity of numerous stained glasses. The notion of Stained glass School of Troyes is confirmed and specified

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail montre que l'introduction de contraintes dans un modèle de connaissances à objets permet d'en accroître à la fois l'expressivité (les contraintes sont des énoncés déclaratifs de relations entre attributs) et les capacités d'inférence (la maintenance et la résolution des contraintes sont chargées de la cohérence et de la complétion des bases de connaissances). Les répercussions de la présence de contraintes au sein d'un tel système sont également étudiées. Les attributs contraints sont désignés à l'aide de la notion d'accès, qui étend la notion classique de chemin au traitement des attributs multivalués (dont la valeur est un ensemble ou une liste de valeurs). Les niveaux de représentation considérés (concept, classe, instance) définissent la portée d'une contrainte comme l'ensemble des objets sur lesquels elle doit être posée, et induisent alors entre eux un héritage de ce trait descriptif. De même, le maintien d'un certain degré de consistance locale sur les domaines des attributs exige une gestion interne de leurs types. Vis-a-vis des mécanismes d'inférence du modèle (instanciation, classification, procédures, etc.), un comportement adapté des contraintes est établi, qui ne remet pas en cause la sémantique de ces mécanismes. Ces principes d'intégration ont été validés dans le modèle de connaissances à objets Tropes. Nous avons réalisé un module de programmation par contraintes, appelé Micro, qui est semi-faiblement couplé à Tropes. Micro répond à de nombreuses exigences de la représentation de connaissances par objets, en gérant la maintenance et la résolution de Problèmes de Satisfaction de Contraintes (CSP) dynamiques, définis sur des variables numériques, booléennes, ou multivaluées, dont les domaines sont finis ou infinis. L'intégration qui a été réalisée autorise, en outre, l'utilisation de la puissance expressive et calculatoire des contraintes par le système de représentation de connaissances lui-même. Ainsi, la présence des contraintes permet d'étendre et de contrôler la sémantique de notions diverses et évoluées comme celles d'objet composite, de tâche, de relation, ou encore de filtre.

Full textAbstract:
Fanfiction provides the unique opportunity to explore disruptions of heteronormativity through tropes. By exploring different fanfictions in the Soulmate AU, ABO Dynamics, and Mpreg tropes, the disruptions indicate a desire to explore gender, identity, and sexuality through queered characters. Male slash fanfiction provides the chance to examine the disruption of the heteronormative through the queering of male characters and placing them into situations that may embrace the feminine or a female-gendered experience. The situating of heterosexual male characters into queered roles allows an examination of how this disrupts canonical ideas of gender, identity, and sexuality. By reviewing the male slash relationships in these tropes, the narratives may explain why the disruption of heteronormativity seems so appealing to fanfiction authors and readers. Heteronormativity restricts exploration of new dynamics and experiences that fanfiction authors and readers may crave to investigate. Disrupting that heteronormativity presents new opportunities for experiences in areas that may receive underrepresentation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how madness has been used in post-Yugoslav cinemas to facilitate thinking about experiences of the break-up of the SFRY throughout the 1990s and 2000s, its consequences and implications for the future. The study conceptualises post-Yugoslav film cultures as public spheres in which artistic and industrial practices are often combined to create meaning around the core themes of trauma and identity in post-Yugoslav cultures. Working with seven feature-length titles from a range of post-Yugoslav successor states (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo) I illustrate how images of madness have been essential in the cultural processing of events of the 1990s. Whilst featuring individuals suffering mental instabilities and disturbances, and sometimes asylums or mental health institutions, I contend such films are not ultimately concerned – on a thematic level – with mental health, but instead focus on the use of such characters in a metaphoric capacity for engaging core themes of Yugoslav break-up, conflicts, and difficulties of subsequent transition. Using the semantic/syntactic approach to genre, I identify two common ways in which madness is used on a textual level to engage these core themes. The first of these, the ‘inside-out asylum trope of madness’, is concerned with the use of the asylum in films which assess critically the dominant political ideologies of the successor states in question at a time when political pluralism was not yet established by the transition process. Films discussed include Burlesque Tragedy (Marković, 1995), Marshall Tito’s Spirit (Brešan, 1999), and Kukumi (Qosja, 2005). The second trope is the ‘multiple realities trope of madness’ in which the presentation of diegetic reality on screen is adapted to reflect various conceptualisations of trauma and loss arising from Yugoslav break-up and transition. Here the films include Loving Glances (Karanović, 2003), Fuse (Žalica, 2003), Mirage (Ristovski, 2004) and Land of Truth, Love and Freedom (Petrović, 2000). Across the films selected, it is madness which ultimately provides a diverse pool of metaphors and images for an assessment of Yugoslavia’s traumatic demise and the ensuing process of picking through the debris of its ideology, cultural practices, values and ways of living for precisely what might be salvageable and what should be discarded.
