Texte intégralRésumé :
The study of the objects LaTène type found in middle-eastern alpine region (Trentino Alto Adige-Südtirol, Engadina, North Tirol, Voralberg and Villach basin) is aimed to a better comprehension of the complex net of relationships established among the Celts, settled both in the central Europe territories and, since the IV century b.C., in the Po Plain, and the local populations.
The ancient authors, who called the inhabitants of this area Raeti, propose for this territory the usual pattern according to which, the population of a region was formed consequently to a migration or was caused by the hunting of pre-existing peoples.
The archaeologists, in the last thirty years, recognized a cultural facies typical of the middle-eastern alpine territory during the second Iron Age, and defined that as Fritzens-Sanzeno culture (from the sites of Fritzens, Inn valley, and Sanzeno, Non Valley). The so-called Fritzens-Sanzeno culture spread out without breaks from the material culture of the final Bronze Age and the first Iron Age.
This local substratum, characterized by a ceramic repertoire strongly standardized, by peculiar architectural solutions and by a particular typology of rural sacred places (Brandopferplätze), accepted, above all during the second Iron Age, the strong influences coming from the Etruscan world and from the Celtic one (evident in the presence of objects of ornament, of glass artefacts, of elements of the weaponry and of coins).
The objects LaTène type become, with different degrees of reliability, important markers of the relationships existing between the Celts and the Raeti, although the ways of interaction (cultural influence, people's movements, commercial exchanges, gifts among élites etc.) is not still clear.
The revision of published data and the study of unpublished materials allows to define a rich and articulated picture both to chronological level and to territorial one.

Clarke, David. « The head cult : tradition and folklore surrounding the symbol of the severed human head in the British Isles ». Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1999. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3472/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Evidence relating to the use and veneration of the human head in a religious context is found repeatedly in the archaeological record and folklore of the British Isles. This has been documented from the earliest period, and manifests itself throughout prehistory and recent history in a variety of forms, from human skulls used as talismans to carved stone heads produced as part of a folk tradition of long standing. Until recently, much of the literature relating to the head as a sacred symbol has been produced from the perspective of Celtic studies, the material being interpreted as evidence for the existence of a "Celtic cult of the head" with roots in the pagan Iron Age. It has been claimed that this cult left an indelible mark both upon the archaeological record and the popular consciousness of later peoples, which has survived in superstition and folklore. This study aims to examine the evidence from archaeology, documentary sources and the folk tradition from outside the confines of the Celtic viewpoint, and to discuss the relationships between the different forms of material through a series of case studies. A cross-disciplinary approach is adopted as a method of interpreting this material using approaches from the viewpoints of both folklore and archaeology. Existing sources are complemented by original fieldwork, incorporating material collected from a wide range of continuing traditions surrounding the use of carved human heads and skulls. These were used for a variety of protective and luck-bringing purposes within living memory, many of them having been overlooked by previous studies. This study demonstrates the importance of integrating evidence from both archaeological and folkloric contexts as a method of understanding and interpreting ritual and religion from the past.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This dissertation provides a comprehensive account of the development of Gaelic script written in the eleventh and twelfth centuries in the Gaelic world. This has involved palaeographical and codicological examinations of the surviving manuscripts and fragments. Most manuscripts which survive from this period were written in Latin; however, this period also signals the first surviving manuscripts produced entirely in Middle Gaelic (most notably, Leabhar na hUidhre, Leabhar na Nuachongbhála, and OBL Rawl. B.502 [B]). One purpose of this dissertation is to contextualise the Middle-Gaelic language manuscripts within their Latin background. Two script-types were used in this period in Gaelic manuscripts (Gaelic National minuscule and Insular Half-uncial) which are both discussed in this dissertation. Much fundamental palaeographical work on the manuscripts in question has not previously been undertaken. On a very basic level, this study therefore provides arguments for distinguishing between the number of hands in manuscripts based on palaeographical and codicological observations. As a result of close palaeographical analysis I have been able to argue a chronological development for Gaelic script situated within the few reliable arguments for dating and locating some manuscripts. The employment of some abbreviations, monograms, and ligatures, new to Gaelic scribes, has proven to be particularly significant in terms of distinguishing between the layers of palaeographical development. These palaeographical features examined in light of ascetic qualities of the script has allowed me to place many script-specimens in ‘groups’ or ‘styles’ which subsequently reveal some argument for dating and locating manuscripts. This study of Gaelic script reveals that big scribal changes were underway in the eleventh and twelfth century: new styles of script were developed and a wealth of new abbreviations were used by some scribes. However, the evidence indicates that these developments were not necessarily felt simultaneously across the Gaelic World.

Abstract: This paper‟s objective is to analyze six Celtic wonder tales collected by Ellis (1999) and Jacobs (1894; 2001), in search of their evolutionary transformations. This shall be done by identifying late elements deriving from the Celtic society and other cultures, as well as the changes in the standard style of the genre. In order to achieve that, we went through the morphological analysis of the tales‟ constitutive elements, together with stylistic studies. Next, such elements were subjected to social and cultural analysis, such as the identification of their primitive or mythological sources; those elements which were related specifically to the Celtic society and those generated by other social factors in a more general way; moreover, it was accomplished the actantial analysis of the characters‟ development. Finally, we pointed out the main transformations in the tales identified by means of the results obtained in all the performed analyses. The importance of this study lies on the possibility of establishing parameters for the tales evolution in the Celtic society, which can lead to specific canons related to this process. The results here obtained are supposed to operate as comparison tools for later researches related to the composition of this type of narrative inherent to societies other than the Celtics ones, from other regions of the world

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Romans were known for taking technology and advancements from other peoples they encountered and making them their own. This pattern holds true in military affairs; indeed, little of the Roman military was indigenously developed. This dissertation looks at the origins of the Roman's mainline weapons systems from the beginning of Roman Republic expansion in the fourth century BC to the abandonment of Western-style armaments in favor of Eastern style ones beginning in the late-third century AD. This dissertation determines that the Romans during that time relied predominately on the Celtic peoples of Europe for the majority of their military equipment. One arrives at this conclusion by examining at the origins of the major weapons groups: armor, shields, spears, swords, and missile weapons. This determination is based on the use of ancient written sources, artistic sources, and archaeological sources. It also uses the large body of modern scholarship on the individual weapons. The goal is to produce a unified work that addresses the origins of all weapons in order to see if there is an overarching impact on the Roman military from outside cultures. When one studies whence the weapons that ended up in Romans hands originated, a decided Celtic influence is easily found. That does not mean the Romans did not advance those weapons. The Romans proved very adroit at improving upon the basic designs of others and modifying them into new forms that met new needs. The Romans just did not develop their own technology very often. As a result, the Celts will exert a strong impact on the Roman military culture as it develops from 400 BC until it is overtaken by Eastern influences in the late 200s AD.

Resumo: Nesta tese realizamos análises morfológicas e socioculturais de contos maravilhosos celtas, que à época de seus registros, encontravam-se em circulação nas tradições orais da Irlanda, Escócia e Ilha de Man. Aqui serão estudadas narrativas de diferentes organizações estruturais, com o objetivo de delimitarmos as principais diferenças formais e de conteúdo veiculados, seja pela presença de temas distintos, explícitos ou implícitos, ou nos modos de abordagem dos mesmos temas. Entretanto, procuramos também salientar as semelhanças mantidas por todas essas formas narrativas, as quais nem sempre são evidentes, principalmente quando relacionadas às funções proppianas e às práticas socioculturais nelas refletidas. A diferença estrutural entre os contos analisados exigiu uma combinação de diretrizes para que obtivéssemos maior precisão nas descrições morfológicas obtidas, assim, empregamos os modelos de Propp (2006), Bremond (2011) e Greimas (COURTÉS, 1979), os quais corroboraram a função de cada elemento, além de complementarem-se mutuamente, a partir de perspectivas diversas. A concepção proppiana torna-se essencial para o tipo de análise sociocultural proposta, ao remeter suas funções aos rituais tribais primais. Contudo, por ser específico aos contos de magia, certas organizações narrativas necessitaram ser delimitadas a partir dos outros dois modelos, de modo a conseguirmos remetê-las, posteriormente, às funções proppianas, ou mesmo a fragmentos delas que, de outro modo, passari...

Abstract: This thesis develops morphological and sociocultural analyses of Celtic folk tales which were part of the oral traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Isle of Man by the time they were registered. We have studied narratives which feature diverse types of structural organizations to determine the main differences between them, considering both their form and contents and the manners they treat the same subjects or different ones, being them explicitly or implicitly expressed. We also intend to evince the similarities of narrative organization, which are not always so obvious, mainly when related to the Proppian functions and the social practices reflected by them. The structural deviances of such tales have demanded the use of three theoretical guidelines in order to provide a precise description of their morphology, which are the Proppian model (2006), the Bremondian model (2011) and the Greimasian model (COURTÉS, 1979), so that the elements are corroborated and complemented by considering different perspectives. The Proppian model is essential regarding the nature of the sociocultural analyses proposed here, related to tribal rituals and myths. However, being the Proppian model specific for the so called magic tales, the description of other kinds of narrative organization must be reached by means of the other two models. After that, we refer their results to the Proppian functions, or at least parts of them, so that they can be found even inside complex situations. From the obt...

Texte intégralRésumé :
The identity of the “Celts” has played an integral role in the understanding of the Iron Age and the more recent socio-political history of Europe. However, the terminology and attitudes which have been in place since the 19th century have created a field of research characterised by assumptions about a ‘people’ and a culture. Study of the “Celts” has been conducted in three main areas - genetics, linguistics and material culture from the archaeological record. Through the reassessment of these three fields, substantial divergence in the patterns and trends, as well as the highly regional nature of the evidence has been revealed within the vast interconnected trade and communication network that developed in Iron Age Europe. As a result the unitary phenomenon identified under the term “Celts” is actually that network. “Celtic” should be redefined as the label for that trade and communication network, not as a label for a group, culture or people, enabling the establishment of new identities for the regional populations of the European Iron Age.

The fourth, fifth and sixth centuries are known, in the History of the Celtic-speaking countries as the Age of Saints . Throughout these three hundred years or so, Christianity went from a relatively unknown religion to the main form of adoration in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. First, there were missionaries from the continent, and then there were monks and monasteries in the islands. Later, there were missionaries from the islands and monasteries in the continent. When these missionaries arrived, they brought with them the Gospel as it was preached and lived in Rome; when they departed, they were preaching like the Celts, living like the Celts and believing like the Celts. For a while, it seemed like there would be two Churches. Then the world changed: the Middle Ages arrived and the Celts were Romanized. However, some of what they preached, lived and believed came thru, modified, adapted and ready to face whatever challenges this new world might impose them. That is the reason why this dissertation aims at showing how was it that Celtic-speaking people lived before Christianity, how were them converted, how did they comprehend Christianity and what happened after that. In order to do that, the text articulates itself around the image of some of the most important founders of monasteries, men who later became saints: Patricius, Columba and Columbanus. Moreover, its main goal is to show that, during the time frame in question, Celtic monasteries functioned not only as an expression of faith or religion as an institution but also a geographical space of historical liminarity; the very essence of time-space transition
Os séculos V, VI e VII são conhecidos, dentro da história dos países de língua celta como a Era dos Santos . Durante esses cerca de trezentos anos, o Cristianismo deixou de ser uma religião relativamente desconhecida e se tornou a principal forma de adoração na Irlanda, na Escócia, na Inglaterra e em Gales. Primeiro vieram os missionários do continente e então os monges e os monastérios nas ilhas. Depois, foi a vez dos missionários das ilhas e dos monastérios no continente. Quando esses missionários chegaram, levaram consigo o Evangelho como ele era pregado em Roma; quando eles partiram, eles pregavam, viviam e criam como os celtas. Por um tempo, parecia que haveria duas Igrejas. Então o mundo mudou: a Idade Média chegou e os celtas foram romanizados. Contudo, alguma coisa do que eles pregavam, viviam e criam, sobreviveu modificado, adaptado e pronto para enfrentar quaisquer desafios que o novo mundo lhe impusesse. É por isso que essa tese pretende mostrar como os celtas viviam antes do Cristianismo, como eles foram convertidos, como eles compreenderam a religião e o que aconteceu depois disso. Para tanto, o texto se articula ao redor da imagem de alguns dos mais importantes fundadores de monastérios; homens que depois viriam a ser santos: Patricius, Columba e Columbanus. Além disso, o principal objeto desse trabalho é mostrar que, durante a baliza cronológica em questão, os monastérios celtas funcionaram não apenas como expressões de fé ou de religião enquanto instituição, mas também como o espaço geográfico da liminaridade histórica, a própria essência da transição espaço-tempo

Stalmaszczyk, Piotr. « Prepositional possessive constructions in Celtic Languages and Celtic Englishes ». Universität Potsdam, 2007. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2008/1925/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Extract:
[...] One of the often noted characteristic features of the Celtic languages is the absence of a singular verbal form with the meaning ‘to have’.1 The principal
way of expressing possession is through periphrastic constructions with prepositions (such as Irish ag, Scottish Gaelic aig ‘at’; Welsh gan, Breton gant ‘at, with’) and appropriate forms of the substantive verb. Pronominal prepositions, another distinctive feature of the Celtic languages, consist of a preposition and a suffixed pronoun, or rather a pronominal personal ending. This construction may be analyzed as an instance of category fusion. Thus, the Irish and Welsh equivalents of English ‘I have money’ are Tá airgead agam or Mae arian gen i, respectively, both literally meaning ‘is money at-me/with-me’. This note discusses pronominal possessive constructions in Celtic languages (and some comparable examples from Celtic Englishes) and provides some background information on pronominal prepositions and comments on historical developments of these forms. It also discusses some terminological issues involved in labelling the construction in question. [...]

Extract:
[...]It is not remarkable that structural similarities between the Insular Celtic and some Afro-Asiatic1 languages continue to exert a fascination on many people. Research into any language may be enlightening with regard to the understanding of all languages, and languages that show similar features are particularly likely to provide useful information. It is remarkable that the structural similarities between Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic languages continue to be interpreted as diagnostic of some sort of special relationship between them; some sort of affinity or mutual affiliation that goes beyond the fact that they are two groups of human languages. This paper investigates again the fallacious nature of the arguments for the Afro-Asiatic/Insular Celtic contact theory (henceforth AA/IC contact theory). It takes its point of departure from Gensler (1993). That work is as yet unpublished, but has had considerable resonance. Such statements as the following indicate the importance that has been attached to the work: “After the studies of Morris-Jones, Pokorny, Wagner2 and Gensler it seems impossible to deny the special links between
Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic” (Jongeling 2000:64). And the ideas in question have been propagated in the popular scientific press,3 with the usual corollary that it is these ideas that are perceived by the interested but non-specialist public as being at the cutting edge of sound new research, when in fact they may simply be recycled ideas of a discredited theory. For these reasons it is appropriate to subject Gensler’s unpublished work to detailed critique.4 In particular, with regard to the twenty features of affinity between Insular Celtic and Afro-Asiatic which Gensler investigated, it will be shown (yet again, in some cases): [...]

Texte intégralRésumé :
For the last 200 years, 6 wagons of the same Celtic inspired wagon type have been found in Denmark: two in a bog, two in a grave each, and two in a house each. This wagon type is called the Dejbjerg wagons, named after the two most known wagons in the category; the ones found in the bog called Præstegårdmose in Dejbjerg, Denmark. The purpose of the essay is to study the Dejbjerg wagons and their relation to the four-wheeled wagons of the Celtic Europe, the contacts between Denmark and Central Europe, and examine what the purpose, or rather the use, of the wagons’ deposition was – if they even had any. To be able to do this, action-based ritual theory – a theory popularised by Catherine Bell – has been used. The essay is concluded in that the way the wagons have been deposited must have meant something for the prehistoric Danish people, and the motifs and ornaments seen on the Danish wagons have a clear Celtic influence, which leads to the conclusion that the prehistoric Danish people must have had contacts in one way or another with the Celts.

This dissertation broadens our understanding of a typology of poetic rhyme through the analysis of three rhyming traditions that show unconventional patterns in the contents, position, and size of rhyme domains. The rhyme domain (RD) is a string of segments that stand in correspondence with another string of segments in a poetic constituent. In Early Irish poetry, strict identity of consonants in RDs is not required, but consonants instead correspond based on membership in defined classes. These classes correlate with sonority levels. Though analysis of VCC and bisyllabic rhymes, which match for sonority, but not featural identity, across the RD, I show that poetic rhyme can be sensitive to the sonority profile of a rhyme, and not just to similarity of segments. Statistical analysis of a rhyming corpus provides further evidence for this. Old Norse skaldic rhyme shows an unusual position for RDs. Rather than occurring at the end of two lines in a couplet, both RDs appear in the middle of a single line. One of these RDs will occupy the penultimate syllable of a bisyllabic word, which means that the rhyme will begin and end word-internally. This gives evidence for rhyme being based not on a syllable rime, but on the interval: a metrical constituent that spans from one vowel to the following vowel including all intervening consonants. The four types of Welsh cynghanedd I analyze present challenges in terms of the size, position, and contents of the RD. In all four types, the RDs occur with in a single line, like skaldic, but the position, size, and number of the RDs are less predictable. The RDs may span the entire line, or may contain only a single interval or consonant each. My analysis shows that all four types of cynghanedd can be analyzed as separate poetic grammars drawing on the same set of constraints in different rankings. A few constraints maintain a fixed ranking across all four cynghanedd grammars. Analysis of these three apparent outliers contributes to the development of a typology of rhyme, showing that even extreme cases draw on familiar concepts to define their RDs.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Early Irish literature, other Celtic literatures and later folklore are rich with descriptions of personal contact with the sacred. The Otherworld, or spiritual aspect of reality, is a constant and vivid presence in the legends. This reality does not seem distant, but rather, always ready to break through into physical reality, transforming those who encounter it. In earlier times, druids, and sometimes heroes and saints, seem to function fully as shamans as described by Mircea Eliade in his definitive work on shamanism, undertaking spirit journeys into the Otherworld. and returning with gifts for their people. In later times, when overtly primal shamanic practice was increasingly repressed, personal contact with the sacred became in many cases less defined and more individual. However, we continue to see contact with the Otherworld in folklore. hagiography and the mystical experiences fostered by later spiritual movements. While scholars such as Carey, Nagy and Melia have recognised and explored some of the shamanic themes present in Early Irish literature, the full complex of these themes, along with their implications for our understanding of Early Irish and Celtic culture, have not yet been hlly examined. A holistic approach to these difficult issues indicates that one must not just dissect the texts themselves for meaning, but take into account the research of archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists and neuroscientists as well as Celticists. By doing so, I hope to show not only the evidence for Celtic shamanism itself, but suggest possible fbnctions of shamanic experience in Early Irish, and more broadly, Celtic culture, Because shamanic traditions typically have a clear cosmology and ideas about spiritual growth, I have also considered if the early Irish and, more broadly, the Celts may have had such a cosmology and ideas of harmonising with the sacred they came into such intense contact with.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cette recherche presente l'etude graphique et symbolique de l'ornementation celtique, au travers des trois principaux evangeliaires du haut moyen age irlandais : le livre de kells, celui de lindisfarne, et enfin celui de durrow. Sont ainsi remis a jour, principes d'harmonie, langage symbolique et repertoire formel, -issus de la tradition celtique - pour une creation ornementale, a caractere sacre, premices d'un " celtic revival ". L'elaboration de ce type particulier d'expression engendre, par ailleurs, l'etude de notre contexte artistique sacre. Problemes, contraintes et directives sont exposes, nous amenant insensible- ment au choix d'une option spirituelle, retrouvee elle aussi dans notre passe artistique : le depouillement de l'art cistercien. Paradoxe difficile a etablir : la richesse irlandaise et la pure- te de l'art cistercien constituent, pour la creation ornementale proposee, une double option graphique et spirituelle. La reference a "l'art nouveau" justifiera les fondements de notre attitude. Un triple objectif est ainsi poursuivi: en remettant a jour l'art celtique, nous proposons de revaloriser la notion d'ornementation pour une nouvelle expression de l'art sacreThis work is about graphic and symbolic studies of celtic ornamentation, through the three main gospels of the irish high middle ages: the book of kells, the book of lindisfarne and the book of durrow. The principles of harmony, the symbolism of language, and formal repertory are brought back to life to create a new ornamentation, with a sacred characteristic, early beginnings of a celtic revival. The elaboration of this particular type of expression generates the studies of our artistic and sacred context. Problems, constraints, and instructions are exposed, leading us imperceptibly to choose a spiritual option found again in our artistic past : the purity of cistercian art. This paradox is difficult to define: irish treasures and pureness of cistercian art constitute a double option: a graphic and spiritual one, for the suggested ornamental creation. Reference to "modern art" will justify the bases of our attitude. A triple objective is reached: bringing back to life celtic art, we'll propose to revalue the notion of ornamentation, to get a new expression of sacred art

Texte intégralRésumé :
Anãs brancas são o final evolutivo de quase 98% de todas as estrelas. O objetivo desta tese foi determinar a estrutura interna das estrelas ZZ Cetis, anãs brancas pulsantes com atmosfera de hidrogênio. Nossa primeira tarefa foi a descoberta, junto com nossos colaboradores, de 43 novas variáveis, 1/3 de todas as ZZ Cetis conhecidas. Na seqüência, nós demonstramos observacionalmente que a faixa de instabilidade é muito provavelmente um estágio evolucionário da vida das estrelas, ou seja, todas as anãs brancas com atmosfera de H na faixa de temperatura 12300 ~ Tef ~ 10850K são pulsantes. Para tanto, nós obtivemos espectros com razão sinal-ruído maior que 70 com o telescópio Gemini para 12 estrelas com Tef '" 12000 K, concluindo que as temperaturas obtidas com os espectros do SDSS estão sub-estimadas por 300:1::220K e que as massas estão super-estimadas por O,10 :I::0,03 M0. Nós também obtivemos séries temporais de fotometria com razão sinal-ruído maior que 500, atingindo limites de detecção de variabilidade de 2 mma, o que permitiu are-classificação de 4 estrelas previamente classificadas como não variáveis em ZZ Cetis. Ainda existem 3 estrelas para as quais não foi detectado variabilidade em 2mma, que estão contaminando a faixa de instabilidade. A fim de fazer o primeiro grande estudo sismológico das ZZ Cetis, eu calculei uma grade fina de modelos adiabáticos variando Tef, M, MH e MHe para determinar quais os períodos normais em cada um destes modelos. Por fim, eu comparei os modos observados aos modelos, determinando a estrutura interna de 72 ZZ Cetis. Antes deste trabalho,só existiam 12 ZZ Cetis que haviam sido estudadas sismologicamente. A minha maior contribuição foi a inclusão de pesos relativos proporcionais às amplitudes observadas dos modos. Embora eu usasse as determinações espectroscópicas como guia, eu jamais restringi a procura das soluções nesta região, buscando em toda a grade, para evitar mínimos locais. Nós encontramos que a massa de hidrogênio média é 1O-6,3:J:l,6M* e a de hélio é 10-2,5:1:0,6M*, e não encontramos forte evidência de acresção ou perda de massa enquanto as estrelas evoluem pela faixa de instabilidade. O valor médio para a espessura da massa da camada de H é diferente do valor canônico de 10-4 M*, derivado por cálculos evolucionários. Este resultado indica que algumas anãs brancas com massa próxima ao valor mais provável se formaram com massa de H cem vezes menor que o valor predito pela teoria, ou seja, é provável que a perda de massa durante sua evolução tenha sido mais eficiente do que assumem os modelos. Minha tese demonstrou que é possível fazer sismologia, desde que tenhamos alguns modos e/ou temperatura e massa confiáveis, totalizando um mínimo de 5 parâmetros. A nossa conclusão é que a sismologia é uma poderosa ferramenta para o estudo da estrutura estelar das anãs brancas, mesmo quando poucos modos estão excitados.White dwarfs are the evolutionary end point of almost 98% of all stars. The goal of this thesis is to determine the internal structure of the ZZ Ceti stars, pulsating white dwarfs with hydrogen atmosphere. Our first task was the discovery,together with our collaborators, of 43 new variables, 1/3 of all known ZZ Cetis. In the sequence we demonstrated observationally that the instability strip is probably an evolutionary stage of stellar life, which means, all white dwarfs with H atmospheres in the temperature range of 12300 ~ Teff ~ 10850K pulsate. We obtained spectra with signal-to-noise ratio higher than 70 with the Gemini telescope for 12 stars with Teff '" 12000 K, concluding that temperatures obtained with SDSS spectra are underestimated by 300:i220 K, and that the masses are over estimated by O,10:i 0,03 M0. We also obtained time series photometry with signal-to-noise ratio higher than 500, reaching detection limits of variability of 2mma, that allowed the re-classification of 4 stars as ZZ Cetis previously classified as non variables. There are still 3 stars for which it was not possible to detect variability at 2mma, that are contaminating the instability strip. In order to do the first large seismologicalstudy of ZZ Cetis, I calculated a fine grid of adiabatic models varying Teff, M, MH e MHe to determine which are the normal periods in each model. Finally, I compared the observed modes to the models, determining the internal structure of 72 ZZ Cetis. Prior to this work there were only 12 ZZ Cetis that had been studied seismologically. My main contribution was the inclusion of relative weightsproportional to the observed amplitudes in the fits. Even though I used the spectrocopic determinations as a guide, I never restrict the search for the solutions within this region, searching in the whole grid, to avoid local minima. We found that the average hydrogen mass is 1O-6.3:H.6M. and that the helium is 10-2,5:1:0,6M., and we have found strong evidence neither for accretion nor mass loss while the stars evolve through the instability strip. The average value for the H mass layer thickness is different than the canonic 10-4 M., derived by evolutionary calculations. This result indicates that some white dwarfs formed with H mass about hundred times smaller than the theoretical value, Le., it is likely that mass loss during their evolution has been more efficient than what is assumed by models. My thesis demonstrated that it is possible to do seismology, provided that there are some modes and/or the temperature and mass are reliable, with a total of 5 parameters. Our conclusion is that seismology is a powerful tool to study of internal stellar structure, even thought only a few modes are excited.

Two ZZ Ceti stars were studied : HL Tau 76 (located on the red edge of the instability strip) and G 185-32 (on the blue edge). Modeling indicates that the hydrogen envelopes in these stars have nearly the same mass: M(H)= 2. 0 (±0. 3) x 10e-4 MÔ. This result may suggest a possible constancy for the hydrogen layer mass among the DA stars class and consequently prospective constraints for cosmochronology and stellar evolution. Moreover, this thesis illustrates how far modeling might reveal some physical features such as a non-uniform stellar rotation, a non-linear coupling between resonant modes, an interaction between pulsations and convection

Texte intégralRésumé :
Celtic art contains mysterious and fascinating aesthetic elements including complex knot work motifs. The problem is that creating and exploring these motifs require substantial human effort. One solution to this problem is to create a process that collaboratively uses interactive and procedural methods within a computer graphic environment. Spline models of Celtic knot work can be interactively modeled and used as input into procedural shaders. Procedural shaders are computer programs that describe surface, light, and volumetric appearances to a renderer. The control points of spline models can be used to drive shading procedures such as the coloring and displacement of surface meshes. The result of this thesis provides both an automated and interactive process that is capable of producing complex interlaced structures such as Celtic knot work within a three-dimensional environment.

Sutcliffe, Joseph Andrew. « James Joyce's Dubliners and Celtic Twilight spirituality ». Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2006. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5123/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
My research is, as far as I am aware, the first reading of Dubliners as a specific and profound engagement with the ideas of the Celtic Twilight school. The recurrence of dreamlike states, such as ghostly visions and reverie, symbolizes aspects of an urban petit-bourgeois Catholic Irishncss excluded by Revivalist propaganda. Joyce earths popular notions of spirituality so that in their dreamlike states characters arc tantalized by glimpses of an evanescent world. He shapes such experiences in relation to similar moments in Celtic Twilight writing, delineating Dubliners' states of mind as an implicit rebuke to mythic ideal and romantic versions of Irishness, and suggesting a Dublin Otherworld to rival the one popularized by Yeats, A.E., Lady Gregory and Synge. Joyce reacts, too, against George Moore's brand of faux Naturalism which claims to present the 'real' Ireland in The Untilled Field. Joyce's project involves parody of privileged Celtic Twilight genres such as the fairy story, heroic legend, and folk song. The precise reactions in Dubliners expose the distortions of the apparently authentic Celtic Revival, which, for all its patriotism, is, ironically, unlrish since it is influenced by a genteel English sensibility. Such parody is complex in terms of mood since the wit co-exists with delicate psychological investigation and exploration of Dublin tribal consciousness. Against fashionable opinion, Joyce, in Dubliners, reclaims the city of Dublin as fit territory for literature and its citizens as capable of spiritual experience, however complex and potentially compromised this spiritual state might be.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis advisor: Michael J. ConnollyThe Insular Celtic languages, such as Irish and Welsh, distinctively feature a morphophonemic process known as initial consonant mutation. Essentially the initial sound of a word changes due to certain grammatical contexts. Thus the word for 'car' may appear as carr, charr and gcarr in Irish and as car, gar, char and nghar in Welsh. Originally these mutations result from assimilatory phonological processes which have become grammaticalized and can convey morphological, semantic and syntactic information. This paper looks at the primary mutations in Irish and Welsh, showing the phonological changes involved and exemplifying their basic triggers with forms from the modern languages. Then it explores various topics related to initial consonant mutations including their historical development and impact on the grammatical structure of the Celtic languages. This examination helps to clarify the existence and operations of the initial mutations and displays how small sound changes can have a profound impact upon a language over time

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis seeks to explore the influence of Henry Jenner as one of the most prominent figures of the Celtic Revival in Cornwall and in the wider Celtic community. To contextualise this, it will examine the image of the Celts as a people in the first half of the twentieth century and the assertion of Celtic identity in that period through the Celtic Revival. The opening chapter examines the concepts of nations and nationalism, particularly Celtic nationalism. The second chapter focuses on the Victorian era as a motivating force for Henry Jenner and others to ‘write back’ against a long and insidious discourse of discrimination. Chapter Three goes on to look at how the political situation in both Britain and Ireland came to influence the nature of Celtic identity assertion and also the extent to which Jenner’s own political views impacted on the nature of Cornwall’s Celtic Revival. In Chapter Four the impact of tourism on Cornwall, and on Cornish identity, is examined, particularly how the image of Cornwall as a Celtic nation created by Jenner and others was embraced and manipulated by that industry. Chapter Five looks at the consequences of image manipulation on tourist-dependent regions. The final chapter concentrates more specifically on the work of Jenner and the Old Cornwall Societies, and the thesis concludes by appraising the influence of the ideas and beliefs of Henry Jenner on our contemporary vision of Cornwall. It focuses particularly on how the predominance of memory created a haunted identity which was embraced by the burgeoning tourist industry and examines how this identity has subsequently impacted on the economic well-being of the region. But it also concludes that Jenner’s legacy endures in so many of the positive images of, and statements about, Cornwall today.

Texte intégralRésumé :
From the Celtic invasions of the fourth century, B.C., until its union with England in 1800, Ireland developed its own distinctive Celtic culture. Its Christian religion, language and literature, law, social structure and land system were of Celtic origin and different from neighboring England's. Almost twelve hundred years of independence allowed Ireland to establish its unique qualities and become recognized as a nation. Then came three hundred years of English occupation and desultory control followed by two hundred and fifty more years of English conquest, confiscation and disruptive colonization. Finally came almost one hundred years of English economic subjugation and suppressed Irish indignation until nationalist Ireland in revolt was made a part of frightened England in 1800. The years of independence produced a unique cultural tradition which English strength changed but could not extinguish. What remained in 1800, supported by an irrepressible demand for national independence, was Ireland's Celtic tradition.

Heavy chains had been keeping Ireland attached to the English colonial system. During seven hundred years, Ireland had been fighting for its political, military, financial and religious independence. The nationalists, arising from the process of seeking for sovereignty, had idealized on the historical roots and on the necessary weaponry for their national project to succeed. This path, nonetheless, pervaded the Celts, the people that became the nation’s spirit for the national movement. Thus, the myths, tales and ancient Gaulish folk tales were freshend. Literature became one of the most important pillars for Ireland’s independence enterprise. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) founds the Celtic Twilight characterized by a group that started, in short, the presentation of the Irish people, by emphasizing to the Celtic inheritance over culture though drama. By this time, Yeats writes The Countess Cathleen, a play that opens both Celtic Twilight and Abbey Theater, in Ireland. The plot presents the conflicts of a community devasted by starvation. It spins around a heroic character, Countless Cathleen, the action evolves with the appeal for the nationalist sacrifice. By offering her soul towards the country people, Cathleen evokes pagan and Christian myths, in a plot that inspires historical facts and political ideals. In this scenario, our work has for its purpose to investigate the building of Cathleen as an Irish heroin, and the folkloric tales used by Yeats during this learning process of this main character for the play, during the action. For this, we turn to theorists like Propp (1984), Sperber (2009), Campbell (2007), Bettelheim (2012). Due to the Romantic aesthetics overlaid Yeat’s plot, we also had to carry a historical and theoretical analysis on Romantic movement main aspects, especially the movement that brought to life medieval feelings through the Medieval Revival during the nineteenth century. The analysis is built as symbolic and allegorical literature reflecting , respectively , the engagement of the work to the Celtic folklore and the political purpose of the nationalist struggle waged by Yeats
Pesadas correntes mantinham a Irlanda presa ao sistema colonial inglês. Durante setecentos anos, os irlandeses lutaram por sua independência política, militar, financeira e religiosa. Os nacionalistas, resultado do processo de busca pela soberania, idealizaram nas raízes históricas do país as armas necessárias para que seu projeto nacional tivesse êxito. Esse caminho, porém, perpassava pelos Celtas, povo que se tornou para o movimento nacionalista o espírito da nação. Sendo assim, os mitos, os contos e as lendas folclóricas ancestrais gaulesas foram revividas. A literatura se tornou um dos pilares mais importes no projeto de independência da Irlanda. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) funda a Renascença Celta que ficou caracterizada como um grupo que começou de forma concisa a representação do povo irlandês, dando ênfase à herança céltica na cultura através da dramaturgia. Com isso, Yeats escreve The Countess Cathleen, peça do dramaturgo que inaugura a Renascença Celta e o Abbey Theater, na Irlanda. A trama encena os conflitos de uma comunidade devastada pela fome. Centralizada em uma personagem heróica, a Condessa Cathleen, a ação desenvolve-se como apelo ao sacrifício nacionalista. Ao ofertar sua alma em prol dos camponeses, Cathleen evoca mitos pagãos e cristãos, numa trama que mimetiza fatos históricos e ideais políticos. Diante desse cenário, nosso trabalho teve como proposta investigar a construção de Cathleen enquanto heroína irlandesa e como os contos folclóricos Celtas foram utilizados por Yeats nesse processo de aprendizado da personagem central da peça durante a ação. Para isso, nos voltamos a teóricos como Propp (1984), Sperber (2009), Campbell (2007), Bettelheim (2012). Devido à estética Romântica que reveste a trama de Yeats, tivemos ainda que fazer uma análise histórica e teórica dos principais pontos Romantismo, principalmente o movimento que reviveu no século XIX os valores e sentimentos medievais através do Medieval Revival. A análise constrói-se, como uma literatura simbólica e alegórica refletindo, respectivamente, o débito da obra ao folclore Celta e ao propósito político da luta nacionalista travada por Yeats.

Extract:
[...]In Celtic languages (both Continental and Insular) we can find words with uncertain etymology which presumably represent loanwords from other language-families. One can see the traces of the pre-Indo-European substratum of Central and Western Europe, “an original non-Celtic/non-Germanic North West block” according to Kuhn (1961). But we may suppose that this conclusion is not sufficiently justified. This problem can have many different solutions, and we may never be in a position to resolve it definitively.[...]

Texte intégralRésumé :
Although critics have studied Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray for nearly one hundred years, no one has examined the author's Irish Celtic heritage in relation to such unanswered questions as the source for the supernatural power that grants Dorian's wish to remain young and creates the central conflict, the purpose of the eleventh chapter, or the apparent "overwriting" or "purple patches" of prose.As a result, the novel has remained elusive, yet fascinating, to both critics and readers. This study asserts that the problem with the traditional approaches critics have taken to solve these questions is that Dorian_ Gray does not entirely belong to mainstream British literary tradition. It also belongs in part to Irish Celtic literature.Consequently, the answers to these unresolved "mysteries" become part of a natural, even inevitable culmination of Irish folklore placed in a Victorian London setting. questions lie in Wilde's Irish background. By looking at the mythology and folklore of Wilde's native Ireland, the “mysteries” become part of a natural, even inevitable culmination of Irish folklore placed in a Victorian London setting.This study's approach to Dorian Gray combines both historical and textual study and builds upon the already substantial number of source studies and biographies available. Moreover, this study examines the almost entirely unexplored background of Wilde's Irish past in the novel which relates to Irish literature. In addition to these components, this paper also offers explanations for the source of the supernatural elements, the problems within the eleventh chapter, and the strategy of the overall structure. Finally this study examines the satirical elements that have their origin in Irish folklore. In many ways, this analysis unifies the other, often conflicting, approaches by explaining these previously misunderstood elements.Department of English

Texte intégralRésumé :
The fin de siècle was a time of change in nationalism, culture, art, science and religion. Nations and groups grew into defining themselves through movements such as Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. Some groups sought to define themselves through reviving aspects of their old cultures as inspiration. For instance, Finland found inspiration in the Kalavala and William Morris inspired Arts and Crafts through England’s Middle Ages. Scotland had many pasts to choose from for inspiration. Patrick Geddes found inspiration in its Celtic past. Geddes is best known for his work as a town planner and sociologist, but has been under-valued for his work as the leader of the 1890s cultural movement in Edinburgh, the Celtic Renascence. In an effort to revive the flagging Old Town, Geddes created a community in Ramsay Garden on the Castle Esplanade. Ramsay Garden became home to Summer Meetings, University Hall functions, and the Old Edinburgh School of Art, and out of all this emerged The Evergreen: A Northern Seasonal. The Evergreen served as a mouthpiece for the Celtic Renascence, a way for them to communicate the life of Ramsay Garden to those outside it. It was a journal which included art, literature and science, brought to the reader on a seasonal basis. Geddes’s view of Celticism was inclusive, he sought to include all peoples of Celtic nations (a view not all agreed with). But his Celtic Renascence was more than just a small art movement, it was part of his larger work to improve city life, to get people to broaden their perspectives and to generalise rather than specialise. Geddes used the Celtic Renascence, like any of his other projects, as a tool for positive and lasting change.
