Texto completoMy specific focus is on the figure of Satyabhama (lit. True Woman or Woman of Truth), the favourite wife of the god Kṛṣṇa. Satyabhama represents a range of emotions, which makes her character popular with dramatists and other artists in the Telugu-speaking regions of South India where poets composed hundreds of performance-texts about her, and several caste groups have enacted her character through narrative drama.
The dissertation is composed of four substantive parts - text, context, memory, and mimesis. The first part explores the figure of Satyabhama in the Mahabharata and in three Sanskrit Puraṇic texts. The second examines the courtly traditions of poetry and village performances in the Telugu language, where Satyabhama is innovatively portrayed through aesthetic categories. The third is based on ethnographic work with women of the contemporary kalavantula (devadasi) community and looks at the ways in which they identify with Satyabhama and other female aesthetic archetypes (nayikas). The final section is based on fieldwork with the smarta Brahmin male community in Kuchipudi village, where men continue to perform mimetic representations of Satyabhama through a performative modality known as stri-veṣam ("guise of a woman").

Texto completoThe thesis exposes the results of the project titled “Colonialism, armed conflict and the disputes for memory. An anthropological study of Magdalena Medio, Colombia (South America)”. The project was made from Laboratory of Social Anthropology – Collège de France and Doctoral School of Anthropology [ED286] at The School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS in French) under the direction of Tassadit Yacine-Titouh. The region of Magdalena Medio is located on middle basin of Magdalena River, a wide valley between the Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera Central, two mountain ranges of the Northern Andes in Colombia (South America). Until a few decades ago, the region of Magdalena Medio was an interior border, with wild appearance, which was the lodging the last survivors of the indigenous peoples Caribes or Karibs and the jurisdiction of ancient villages and towns of Spanish origin (16th-17th centuries) and new settlements arose from recent colonization (19th-20th centuries). The region was an enclave due to the absence of roads and highways, a frequent refuge of seditious, dissident and rebel groups, and an open territory for both peasant colonization and the occupation of big capitalist companies. The region is also historically known for having the most important national wealth: the mines of gold and emeralds, the forest exploitation as the quinine, the tropical agriculture of sugarcane, tobacco, indigo, coffee and oil palm, the livestock farming on the plains, the gas and petrol industries and, more recently, the coca and poppy cultivations. The coexistence of wealth and poverty turned the Magdalena Medio in one of the nation’s most violent regions. The region of Magdalena Medio was the epicenter of violence between political parties since the 1930’s, the violence of bandits or bandoleros since the 1950’s, the violence of leftist guerillas since the 1960’s, the violence of private justice groups since the 1970’s and the violence of paramilitary forces since the 1980’s. In these contexts were perpetrated some of the most shameful facts of the Colombian history. The project tried to clarify the role of culture in each province in the production and reproduction of a violence of “quasi” endemic character and their implications en the construction of an regional memory

Texto completoChallenging both apparent determinism and political or moral representations, Gary's work is defined by its predilection for off limit situations and contentious attitudes. Confronted with hatred or barbarism, it will always stand for irony and the power of creativity, involved both in the process of getting detached as well as enrapturing the world anew. Fed on the World War II trauma, it sustains the concept of humanness needing reinvention, not being a set notion but a fiction to be built, an ideal to achieve. Artists and creators owe their contribution to such foundation of a new human mythology upholding the unalienable principle of dignity, thus implanting everyone's spirit with the strength to resist despair. However, humanism cannot be seen just as an abstracted value or some shore to reach, it also implies the actual manner of living in the world. One has to keep clear from whatever overwhelming dogmas reality can impose, by favoring “margins” that will accept human contradictions and frailty. Away from any prophetic idealism, these dedicated spaces become shelters for intimate expression, allowing one to avoid onlookers and escape compelling truth assessments. Shaped around affective values, they bring one to become sensitive to a potential world humanity. Against rigid certitudes and the alienating principle of transparency, they help remember that approximation and mystery can give access to freedom and oftentimes condition the possibility of happiness

Texto completoThe following dissertation focuses on the analysis and comparison of Milton Hatoums novel Dois Irmãos (The Brothers, 2006) and the biblical narrative of the fraternal clashes in the book of Genesis, especially that of the twins Jacob and Esau. The conflict-ridden relationship between brothers is a constant leitmotiv, a point of interest that develops in different ways throughout the first book of the Hebrew Bible. Hatoum seeks the biblical narrative matrix for Western thought and Humanitys cultural memory through the impulse of his theme, therefore he does not set out from the Bible. How then, does the Brazilian author progress through his novel, whose fulcrum is the clash between brothers in respect to their primogeniture, which brings us back to the generative biblical text of Genesis to baste his fiction? Our journey in search of this answer is brightened by a fumbling and stumbling path. As in a folkloric dance, narrator and protagonists spiral, trade places and take turns in the roles of Esau, Jacob, Cain, Abel, and Joseph. Our research will approximate these narratives either through similarities or through the estrangement from the Hatounian novel. We will seek the vestiges from the biblical narrative present in the Brazilian authors work following the trails of Omar, Yaqub, and especially the narrator, Nael. An interspersed narrator, half Indian, half Arab; bastard son, progeny of one of the novels twins and a young Indian girl, the Lebanese family\'s maid. Led by Nael\'s narrative, we will constantly flirt with the eyes of memory. Nael leads us to a surprising discovery: it is he who brings into focus the national scope in our research and, as a descendant to the indigenous Amazonian peoples, he reveals himself as the most legitimate heir to all mythological ancestrality born from folktales and myths of rival twins narratives that are as ancient if not more than the Bible. So, to a certain extent, Nael steals the light originally shined upon the twins Omar and Yaqub for himself and embraces the primogeniture, while the power and name are at stake, be it from the familys patriarch, or the original myth.
Guichard-Croset, Marina. "La construction d'une mémoire collective de la Résistance en Haute-Savoie : Les Glières". Thesis, Saint-Etienne, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011STET2153.
Texto completoAt the heart of Haute-Savoie, between January and March 1944, a gathering of men took place on the Plateau des Glières. Under the command of Lt. Tom Morel and of Captain Maurice Anjot, both chasseurs alpins at the 27th BCA, they are mandated to receive air drops of weapons whose the "maquis" of the Department have a pressing need. Driven by the motto "Live Free or Die", the resistance lead a disproportionate fight against the Vichy forces and then against those of Wehrmacht up to the end of March 1944. Even if one can not talk about sacrifice, more than one hundred "maquisards" lose their lives. There then followed an organized reconstruction of the maquis until the 1st August 1944, when three thousand men gather again to receive the most massive air drops ever received by resistance during daylight. At the middle of August 1944 and due to successful air drops, the Resistance forces liberate their department. The defeat of weapons becomes a victory. Since 1944, the survivors gather in a organization called "the association of survivors of Glières".' They bury their dead, write a first testimonial book and publish the first issue of "Messages". In 1973, they launch an international competition to build a monument. Going alternatively through successful and troubled times, the memory of the Glières stands gradually around a co-constructed story enriched with mythological references. Sixty-five years later, the memory of the Glières "maquis" is still alive, driven by players and commonly engaged in the share of a citizen heritage. So, the process of building the Glières memory is the real hermeneutics issue of this thesis

Texto completoIn a poetic, rhetorical and juridical perspective, as well as a generic and an intertextual one, this study proposes a reflexion on the ovidian heroine’s memory and speech. A single letter (Medea, Heroine XII) and a double letter (Acontius and Cydippe, Heroines XX-XXI) are at the heart of our research. Combining the memory of the instant with intimate speech, Medea and Cydippe extend an invitation to illustrate the representation of women that emerges from the poetic art of pathos, to affirm the legitimization of her juridical status in a historical plausibility, and to perceive, finally, her emancipation, gained in a dialogical and tensional diversity of genres and texts. The textual interferences with the founder models are well listed in the framework of an allusion that brings out a metaphorical rewriting of reflexivity, in an intersection of moments that particularly privileges the Catullian figure of Ariadne (Carmen LXIV). Carried out in this spirit, the study of literary reminiscence is completed in a work of words and notions for the research of a genuine poetic mimesis. This interpretation leads to highlight the autoreflexive value of the textual image: ingenious memory and polysemous speech participate in a learned play in which the feminine figure and the composed poiesis are, actually, inseparable. Therein can also be found Ovid’s originality: between the written memory and the future reading is set the mnemonic speech, defence and the ultimate message of the ovidian woman, thus rewarded

Texto completoNguyen, Thi Thu Nguyen. "L'esprit des lieux et le mythe de l'origine dans l'oeuvre romanesque et philosophique de Pascal Quignard". Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BOR30019/document.
Texto completoEnigmatic, poetic, fragmentary, abundant, the attraction of Pascal Quignard's work comes from the complex universe of fiction, personal experiences, fabulous stories, extensive documentation and philosophical thoughts, in which some places are homeports, holding the secrets of time. Such places seem to structure the work. The author favors the spirit of places, as if to underline the invisible imaginary links between man, his territory and his past. To study the spirit of places and the origin of myth in the work of Quignard one has to try to understand the recurring evocation, which has become obsessive, of this territory, and his power of creation as writer. With the choice of a double corpus, fiction and philosophy, and a method of interdisciplinary research (literary criticism, anthropology, imagination), our thesis divides into three parts, which will examine in succession the attractiveness of places, then proceed from enchantment to melancholy, and eventually determine the characteristics of the poetic and (the) mythical writing of Quignard. We will find enchanted places that reflect the worldview of the author. They are the true sources of life, imagination and creativity, bringing about reconciliation between man and his past, his territory and his identity, even if melancholy remains fundamental in them. The characters of Quignard are extremely sensitive to all that is lost and forgotten, abandoned homes and places, and to men who are Eve's children in exile. The desire to re-root oneself into the place of the past reveals attachment but also failure, because man is quickly confronted with loss and emptiness. The enchantment remains elusive; melancholy appears constant and opens somber places in his work. To enhance the spirit of place, Quignard makes use of a rich choice of reminiscences, images and myths. His work is at the same time search for, analysis and a quest on man and his place on earth, but it is also a product of imagination and intuition. The complex relations between Fragments, Reminiscences, and Memory in his writing reveal the poetic depth of the work. The narrator also follows moment and instinct, always with the intuition and feelings of a melancholy poet. The writer also uses ancient myths and transforms and enriches them as an effective way to create his own myth of place: myth of (the) loss, myth of (the) return and the myth of (the) origin
Blin, Fanny. "Les Antigones espagnoles : modalités esthétiques et idéologiques des reprises de la figure mythique, de la Guerre Civile à la Transition". Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BOR30024.
Texto completoEchoing the traumatic conflict within the nation caused by the Civil War and crystallized during Franco’s era, Antigone’s reappearance was extremely intense in Spanish dramatic creation. In contemporary rewritings, the resistance of this tragic character from Greek mythology turned out to be the emblem of a “fairer memory” (Ricoeur, 2000). This work asserts that the Spanish Antigones converge and share a common signification when it comes to rewriting History; and resorts to a comparative study of structures and symbols to shed light on the continuity between the Castilian, Catalan and Galician versions, between those written in exile or not, from 1936 to 1989. In order to establish the common dynamic, eighteen plays are compared, whose key idea is to create a memorial and a redeeming discourse based on the Greek sources but also inspired by other versions of the tragedy. Therefore, the first part examines the strategies implemented to rearrange the mythical pattern, the historical context and the tragic genre. This leads to the conclusion that there is no permanent mythical core nor a fully recurrent referential scheme. As such, the notion of “contemporary (re)configurations” through the prism of politics seems relevant to describe the rewritings. The second part analyses the aesthetic convergences and the recurring themes and metaphors throughout the texts and concludes that in the contemporary Spanish Antigones, the image of the margins embodying exclusion takes on centre stage while the image of the path is resorted to in order to evoke broken destinies and exile. Basically, these plays create a literary tomb for the forgotten deceased but also a monument in honour of the invisible –alive– ones. The aesthetic dimension of this compensatory play requires a reflection upon its cathartic sense in a transforming society during the Transition to democracy. Indeed, the third part of this work focuses on the dramatization of History, making it crucial to study the scenic devices that dismantle the official stories and political myths. This reveals the strategies of “demystification” followed by new mythifications that portray a distorting image of the Spanish community in crisis. Ultimately, these practices of rewriting show that the playwrights conceived their time as an epic and mythical phase which could be purged by theatrical ceremonial thanks to a distancing effect that covers a large prism, from sacred to grotesque

Mythology reveals a people’s worldviews, while its cultural thinking comes from its way of categorizations of things, which further influences people’s praxis and production of history. Against the backdrop of the Wa people’s frequent overseas interactions during the Kofun period, Okinoshima in the Genkai Sea became home for religious rituals, where sacred practices lasted for centuries and the contemporary belief of the three Munakata goddesses in Japanese mythology originated. Focusing on the relations between mythology and history, the study analyzed the mythological thoughts implied by two museums’ historical exhibitions related to Okinoshima’s sacred rituals by adopting methodologies of both historical anthropology and museology. The study then further explored the process of cultural reproduction and transformation in the course of history, as well as the phenomenon of infiltration between memory and history. The study discovered that the way museums arranged their historical exhibitions on display was influenced by contemporary values and also implied standards of cultural cognitive systems, which indicates the point that culture defines history. Cultural thinking of “other world” (“takai”, 他界 in Japanese) and “gods from outside world” in Japanese mythology determined the composition of ritual objects of Okinoshima in historical exhibitions. The exhibition by Shimpokan Museum of Munakata Taisha was planned and displayed in a diachronic point of view, while the special exhibition “the Sacred Island of Okinoshima in Munakata Region and the Yamato Imperial Court” by Kyushu National Museum was done in a synchronic point of view. They both emphasized the process of cultural reproduction and transformation and showed the historical interpretation of “the rebirth of the self.” Additionally, the cultural memory of Okinoshima shaped by the memory mechanisms of mythological text and ritual practices also influenced the museums’ production of history, which showed a historical view that encompasses both the sacred and the secular.

Texto completoThe ‘loss of self’ trope is a pervasive shorthand for the prototypical process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the popular imagination. Turned into an effect of disease, the disappearance of the self accommodates a biomedical story of progressive deterioration and the further medicalization of AD, a process which has been storied as an organic pathology affecting the brain or, more recently, a matter of genetic calamity. This biomedical discourse of AD provides a generic framework for the disease and is reproduced in its illness narratives. The disappearance of self is a mythic element in AD narratives; it necessarily assumes the existence of a singular and coherent entity which, from the outside, can be counted as both belonging to and representing an individual person. The loss of self, as the rhetorical locus of AD narrative, limits the privatization of the experience and reinscribes cultural storylines---storylines about what it means to be a human person. The loss of self as it occurs in AD narratives functions most effectively in reasserting the presence of the human self, in contrast to an anonymous, inhuman nonself; as AD discourse details a loss of self, it necessarily follows that the thing which is lost (the self) always already existed. The private, narrative self of individual experience thus functions as proxy to a collective human identity predicated upon exceptionalism: an escape from nature and the conditions of the corporeal environment.
