Testo completoFrom pink toys to countless representations of women in pink, “pink is for girls” is both fact and performative assertion — that is to say a self-fulfilling one. It is both a feminine symbol and associates everything it colours with femininity. Stemming from the desire to understand the origins and modalities of the association of pink with femininity, this thesis endeavours to follow the history of the colour since the first pink dyes, with a focus on the eighteenth century during which pink grew in popularity; a history of its symbolism linked — or not — to gender, its uses and misuses, its rejections and appropriations. At the intersection of gender studies and colour studies, this thesis highlights the ideologies underlying the use of pink, and their repercussions on both women and men, in terms of identity construction and social relations. Present throughout the visual arts, as well as in cinema, video games, fashion and marketing, pink participates in the process of gender categorisation through its aestheticisation and repetition of stereotypes. When worn by men, it connotes effeminacy, even homosexuality, confirming its feminine link through its symbolic incompatibility with the masculine. Militant attempts to reappropriate pink as an emblem by feminist, gay or queer communities have not managed to erase pink’s link to femininity, and paradoxically have reinforced it. Pink is thus revealed as a technology of gender, as defined by Teresa de Lauretis: its representation is its construction
Grand-Clément, Adeline. "Histoire du paysage sensible des Grecs à l'époque archaïque : le problème des couleurs". Toulouse 2, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006TOU20049.
Testo completoThe archaic Greeks were not colour-blind: it is rather the way they looked at colour which was different. Investigating this difference implies going back to ancient conceptions and seeking the coherence of the representations through all cultural habits. Words and gestures echo each other and convey similar social preoccupations: they shed light on the specific nature of the archaic spirit and aesthetics. Before anything, colour is like a drama that expresses the political tensions within the polis. It has an essential role in the construction of identities, it helps classifying and organising into a hierarchy. Colour signs remain profoundly polysemic. The way they are woven together reveal that, during the archaic period, the Greeks enjoyed colours to be mixed, in bright and contrasted tones – a mix to be paralleled with the notion of poikilia, a variegation that brings social pleasure and is the very symbol of excellence
Tajima, Yoshihito. "Les couleurs dans la poésie de Rimbaud". Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040085.
Testo completoIn the field of optics, scientists have studied colors since ancient times. In Arts, because of its accidental nature, color is treated as a element lower than drawing. School education has followed this tendency to neglect the color. However, during the mid-nineteenth century appeared various books about colors, in the fields of etiquette, education, esotericism, optics, art and technology. Our objective is to find what makes the use of colors unique in the verse poems of Rimbaud, in consideration of the nineteenth century episteme. In his poems, colors speak of the poet; his education, his concerns, his political or religious thought and his poetics. We focused on the symbols of colors, which was neglected so far, and on the physiological effects and visual impressions treated by Goethe and Chevreul. Rimbaud do not invent neither the spectral colors, nor the correspondences between sounds and colors, nor color symbolism. He draws inspiration from existing ideas, and combines them to invent a new poetic language. He superimposes symbolic colors creating associations of ideas, on spectral colors, which maintain order in optics. In "Voyelles", he introduces his poetics through the description of a rainbow, the sonorous evocation of letter of the Greek alphabet, and the symbols of five colors. The originality of his approach lies in the convergence of its different means of expression. His use of color thus leads to the creation of a new poetic language.episteme.

Gautier, Patrick André. "Le rouge et le vert : sémiologie de la couleur en Egypte ancienne". Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040130.
Testo completoContesting the thesis of basic color terms, the purpose of the present thesis is to determine the part of physiological and symbolical solicitation there is, within the egyptian lexis of colour. This symbolical solicitation being based on the theological expression of cosmic, biological and social world is a remarkably permanent feature in ancient egypt thought. The exploration of the lexis and of its vague impulses toward an evolution, show that red and green are not only dominant colours, but also that they constitute the organising principle of egyptian colour. However, there is a further division in the symbolical lexis due to the transversal criterion of light, thereby offering us four fundamental terms. Because of metonymy and metaphor, these terms are laden with the most striking properties of their pregnant referents (i. E. , those among all possible referents, that express colour in the most prominent way). Being therefore polysemous, these terms expressing colour apply to a wide range of spheres, also to an unquestionable semantic depth that is essential to a both complex and subtle vision of the world.

Testo completoThe perception of color, as it appears nowadays in Japan, has been formed from various foreign influences, essentially from China first, then from the West. The western ones which take place during the Edo period and the Meiji era have played an evident role in its formation. Until the contacts with the West, the Japanese perception of color is characterized by a specific sensibility to coloring materials and by a theoretical, speculative and global frame inherited from China, which represents an almighty reference for any answer about color. No rational or scientific researches about the nature of color had been conducted so far, as they weren’t justified. Yet, these kinds of questions rise as western influences, which introduce modern science, reach Japan. From that point in time, the scientific definition of color inherited from the West gets more and more impact on Japanese thought. Confidential during the Edo period, its influence intensifies as the years go by. The process of its adoption brutally increases when Japan decides to adopt a modernization and westernization policy during the Meiji era. This definition is now integrated and undisputed. It constitutes one of the facets of the way Japanese see and define color. Two subjects are particularly representative of the western influence, as they are commons in contemporary Japanese perception of color : the three primary colors theory first, and then the characterization of color in physics. They reach Japan during the Edo period but it is during the Meiji era that they are systematically studied, adopted, and diffused to the population. Nowadays, neither of these two points is questioned any more

Testo completoLes termes de couleur, anciens ou modernes, ne peuvent être réduits à la dénomination de catégories servant à diviser le spectre des visibles : cet ensemble lexical unique mérite d’être considéré comme un phénomène linguistique et littéraire à part entière. Pourtant, trop souvent encore, les études portant sur le vocabulaire de la couleur tendent à subordonner le système langagier au phénomène physique, conséquence indirecte de la recherche d’objectivité qu’une vision positiviste attribue aux sciences de la nature. Les termes de couleur sont alors examinés selon des critères qui ne correspondent pas à leur véritable essence – une attitude qui, dans le cas des langues anciennes, mène à des constats d’imprécision injustifiés. Dans les faits, l’emploi des termes de couleur transcende largement la dimension visuelle : leur nature se révèle essentiellement subjective, et ce à plus forte raison dans les textes littéraires, dont se compose l’essentiel du matériel dont nous disposons pour étudier les cas du grec et du latin. Plutôt que de mettre l’accent sur les différences entre conceptions anciennes et modernes, cette étude aborde la couleur en tant que phénomène culturel dans une optique de continuité ; elle vise à montrer que l’analyse littéraire de textes poétiques anciens peut nourrir une réflexion sur la nature des couleurs et sur les processus qui mènent à leur conceptualisation. Après avoir posé les bases d’une réflexion sur la nature de la couleur (Chapitre I), cette thèse étudie le traitement poétique des termes de couleur et, de façon plus générale, l’utilisation des procédés littéraires faisant appel au chromatisme, chez les élégiaques latins (Ovide, Properce, Tibulle et le Corpus Tibullianum) et Catulle, à partir de leurs principaux modèles grecs d’époque alexandrine (Théocrite, Callimaque) et archaïque (poésie lyrique et épopée homérique). L’étude se focalise autour de quatre grands thèmes qui correspondent à des images littéraires développées par les poètes élégiaques – le « petit livre coloré » (Chapitre II), le « portrait en rouge et blanc » (Chapitre III), l’« amant pâle » (Chapitre IV) et la « mer céruléenne » (Chapitre V). Le corpus principal, approché dans l’ordre chronologique inverse, est envisagé sous l’angle de la réécriture. En effet, l’imitation émulative se trouve au cœur du processus créatif des poètes latins, qui élaborent leur identité d’auteurs en réinventant les vers de leurs prédécesseurs ; ce procédé amène les poètes à reprendre et à enrichir des images littéraires colorées, donnant naissance à des topoi et à des associations d’idées qui, au fil des siècles, tendent à se cristalliser sous la forme de termes de couleur abstraits.
Color terms, in modern and ancient languages alike, cannot be reduced to sections of the visible spectrum: this complex and rather unique lexical ensemble deserves our full attention as a linguistic and literary phenomenon. Yet color vocabulary is still too often regarded as an imperfect means to describe visual perceptions, a system that fails to achieve the precision of optical science. This idea, a consequence of the quest for objectivity which natural sciences are hoped to provide, does not reflect the true nature of color terms and induces an important bias in their study: as a result, many classical philologists have come to judge Greek and Latin color vocabularies as underdeveloped and their use by ancient authors as clumsy. The purpose of color terms is not limited to description in terms of chromatic acuteness: in fact, this vocabulary proves to be subjective by nature. This is even truer about its literary use, and literature constitutes the main material available to study color terms in Greek and Latin. Instead of looking for differences between ancient and modern conceptions, this study focuses on continuity and on color as a cultural phenomenon; its aim is to show that the analysis of ancient poetry can contribute to a more general reflection on the nature of colors and to our understanding of how they become concepts. Beginning with a chapter devoted to the nature of color (Chapter I), this dissertation studies the poetic treatment of color terms and, more generally, the use of literary devices pertaining to chromatism in Roman Elegists (Ovid, Propertius, Tibullus and the Corpus Tibullianum) and Catullus, as well as in their Greek models from the Hellenistic (Theocritus, Callimachus) and Archaic (lyric poetry and Homeric epics) periods. The study focuses on four poetic figures – the “little, colorful book” (Chapter II), the “red and white portrait” (Chapter III), the “pale lover” (Chapter IV) and the “cerulean sea” (Chapter V). Each of these chapters surveys the meaning of Latin vocabulary and expressions through the Greek verses they refer to. The corpus is approached in reverse chronological order, with more specific attention paid to intertextuality and rewriting: imitatio plays in fact a crucial role in the creative process of Latin poets, who construct their identity as authors as they interpret and transform pre-existing text. The colorful imageries that are thus being developed over centuries give birth to topoi and strong associations between emotions and realities that tend to crystallize in the form of abstract color terms.

Testo completoThe Technicolor Company has celebrated its hundredyears of existence, since it was born in November 1915.Technicolor was, at first, a two-color natural color processthat has been modified three times before becoming a threecolorprocess, also known as the process number four.The three-color process was revolutionary since it impliedthe construction of a three-strip camera, which separated theprimary colors red, blue and green with three negatives. Thelaboratory created also dye transfer printing, a technic thatwas able to create projection prints with visual qualitiesequivalent to lithography. Consequently, the dyes of theTechnicolor prints haven’t fade throughout the years. Inaddition, the three-color equipment included a newworkflow during the film shooting. The crew working onthe film set, used to black and white shooting, had to betrained to work with this medium. Technicolor created aswell the color consulting in order to help the crew tomanage better the color composition.This dissertation is an in depth analysis of the historicaland technical issues of the three-color Technicolor processand interrogates the technical devices that have been used torestore the films. In this way, different questions about theprocedures of restoration of the films, shot between 1932and 1955, are addressed throughout the study. Due to theobsolete status of the three color Technicolor process, thequestion of its reproduction can be problematic. This is thefirst thorough study, written in French, dedicated to thethree-color Technicolor process with an opening to theimportance of restoring the original colors of a film

Testo completoThis thesis spells out specifically a developed tradition of polychrome in the art and the society Muslim Medieval, and tries to improve such concepts extensively. It should be mentioned that the recent improvements made in Islamic sensitivities for color over the recent centuries that separate us from the older period of time (the eighth to fifteenth century) that radiates the Islamic art is beyond this research. As a matter of fact in this study, our goal is to present the concept of color during the eighth to fifteenth century, explaining the meaning and the use of color during that time which correspond its true concept. Since the achievement of the harmony of colors depends on physical processes and appropriate techniques, we will try to demonstrate the practical application and objective of Islamic art and color at those centuries based on visual evidences that were obtained during our research, thus painting is considered as the raw material of our study. These centuries can present all the aesthetic elements of interest especially in painting (miniatures) because among the various arts, painting is the area where the colorist expressed with more freedom. From Baghdad to Tabriz, from Tabriz to Herat and from Herat to Shiraz and Isfahan, the Islamic miniature has produced the most beautiful pages of the history. In addition, color as an element in Islamic culture including poetry, mysticism, regulations and the religious holy book is studied to fully characterize the role of color in other Abrahamic religions

Testo completoBased on one of the richest periods in the history of Islam in terms of poetic creativity and production, our project seeks to revise the forms that characterized the relationship between the poet and the prince. To elucidate this relationship as complex as it is protean, we will call on a rich and varied corpus, and then examine the question of praise and blame through three prisms: rhetoric, ethics and politics. The encomiastic discourse uses rhetoric to gain an audience’s support for a matter that is not yet established. But the effort required by the orator to convince the audience necessitates the ethical backdrop and common system of values, from which he proceeds to persuade. As for the political dimension, it is reflected in the poet’s function as the “verbal arm” serving the prince and as an instrument legitimizing his political position against real or potential opponents. Beyond the function of official panegyrist, the performativity of political discourse also extends to speech, education, reform, even open criticism that could evoke the antique parrêsia. By virtue of its sapiential substance, poetry contributes to the process forming the politician and offers him an excellent manual to government. As for the dissenting vein, invective, caricature and the mobilization of polemical speech constitute his main resources. The dissenting vein passes through the poet’s gaze on the universe of the court, the prince’s politics and the relationship between governor/governed. Whether it involves nominations, political projects or the very ethos of the man of power, the poet is always present to give his opinion. The injustice of a decision made by a judge, the nepotism of a governor or the harshness of a general are all aspects that demonstrate the poet’s vivacious criticism of power, and the role that the latter assumes as the moralizer of this sphere. The counsel is then presented as a means to rectify the prince’s general decisions or orientations and attests to the existence of a veritable poetic rationality. Furthermore, the rhetoric of praise and blame indicates the existence of a poetic rationality that reached maturity in the Abbasid period and attained an unprecedented degree of oratory efficiency, due to the poet’s growing consciousness of the necessity to be involved in political life and to influence the course of history
Altaie, Liqaa. "Étude des mots indiquant la couleur dans les proverbes et les locutions proverbiales français et irakiens : étude linguistique comparée". Thesis, Besançon, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BESA1015.
Testo completoOur thesis concerns the contrastive linguistic study of The reference to colors in the proverbs from a corpus of 208 proverbs collected in France and in Iraq. We shall study how the colors are expressed in both languages (word classes, grammatical and prosodic structure of the statements, the rhetoric tools applied to colors to strengthen their meaning value) as well as the link of the speakers for colors in the proverbs they use. We shall also try to explore in both languages the differences related to the period when the proverb was the most used as well as in the degree of knowledge of the proverbs according to age, sex, profession and the region of the speaker. The French language as well as the Iraqi dialect contain a big proportion of words indicating the color in the proverbs. And it is the connotation of these words that is the origin of the difficulty of understanding. Furthermore, according to countries, cultures and times, the colors take on different meanings sometimes to the antipodes of those of the nearby cultures like the colour white, associated in the West and in Arab countries to purity, while it is refers to mourning in most of the Asian countries. Thanks to the language, as we know it, the man can communicate, exchange information, ideas and eelings. In other words, the speakers can express what they want to express, what they want to sayand the listenerscan receive the information. However, in communication, it is not always easy to understand completely and exactly what is said and written, because the meaning of the word is complicated and sophisticated. The same word, used in these various situations, will have various meanings. The words indicating the color come up against with the same problems. Working as an isolated unity, the proverb is a combinatio of words taken from the general vocabulary of every language. We consider the words indicating the color in the proverbs and the proverbial expressions as the object of our study because the color is everywhere in our life : the color of the plants and animals, the color of the sky and the earth, the color of food, but also because the proverbs constitute a source of rich vocabulary for those who learn the language. The proverbs refers to diverse semantic fields and they reflect nicely the cultural difficulties related to learning of the French language in Iraq. Besides this, we would try to prove through transformations and manipulations that these proverbs can be frozen. An elaborate study of these semantic and syntactical features seemed to us absolutely essential to report the existence of the congealing in the proverbs, a very important and very complex linguistic phenomenon at the same time. Besides that, the critical comparison between these two languages : French and Arabic in this particular case, asserts that the phenomenon of the congealing is just a universal linguistic fact, and reveals that each language has its own mechanisms of congealing. We can note that, from the semantic point of view, the meaning of the proverbs is not calculated according to the rules of the compositionality ; in other words, the global meaning of the proverbs is not the addition of the meaning of the elements which compose them

Testo completoIn Martinique in the eighteenth century, the "free people of color", both those free by birth and freedmen, black or mixed race, form a legal category, which was distinct from those of whites and slaves. Comparative studies with Spanish or English territories show that no legal regulation formalized a shift - from the category of free colored people to that of White - in the French colonies between the late seventeenth century and the French Revolution. Also, this thesis proposes to show the informal process that enabled some people - the "assimilated" - to cross the color barrier. I analysed the color prejudice, a racist system, whose ideology, supported by local regulations, legitimized the collective construction of a public and social order. In a second step, I examined the development of the color bar. The free colored people were the first to bear the brunt of the impermeability of the demarcation line and of the problems posed by the purity of blood; but some whites, through interracial unions, and Native Americans have also been targeted. Finally I thought about what made the whiteness, and the strategies to achieve whiteness, change in status. Notarial acts and 33,000 acts of parish registers treaties led to the reconstitution of genealogies, in order to examine individuals and families over generations; I observed the importance of the phenotype, whitening, legitimacy relations, privileged partners, choice of networks, wealth levels and the use of space

Testo completoArles, roman right colony, inherited the control of the river the Rhône, after Pompei’s defeat against Cesar, important delivery route of any kind of supply coming from the Mediterranean area. Trading business increasing Arles welcomed a lot of navicularii to manage it. And also the growing native population helped Arles to become a privilege actor. Through the monument the great city of Arles showed coloured marbles on the wall and pavement. This type of raw material was a symbol of power and wealth which was diffused in every province of the empire. In this context, we will study the use and the supply of the marble in Arles through terrestrial archaeological sites and elements discovered in the river Rhone.Concerning this, we will study every pieces of coloured marble found in the high Roman Empire and late Antiquity period. For every sites we will determined the distribution and the proportion as well as the different ways they were shaped. Then we will analyse chronologically the use of these elements in the “domus” decoration and in public building.Last but not least we will link it together with the routing of the supplier in the Rhône valley at the Roman Empire period

Testo completoThis study focuses on initiation into color considered as a cultural object, in children’s picture books both in France and Korea. It covers the time period from 1945 to 2015, since we attach great importance to analyzing its evolution process. Our research has a threefold objective: to present our object of study in a historical perspective highlighting the reasons of its emergence in the children’s picture books as well as the factors that contributed to its development; to verify that traditional pedagogical genres are relevant to initiate into this complex learning object; and to highlight the mechanisms developed in these picture books to meet physical, intellectual and cognitive abilities of children discovering color as well as their tastes. Therefore, our study is divided into three parts. In the first part, we present an overview of the school pedagogy dealing with color and its repercussions on the editorial market and the various factors that contributed to the development of picture books initiating into color. In the second part, after having defined the different genres, we study their interaction with color. In the third part, we analyze the picture books’ contents to see what knowledge is transmitted to the children, whether on color itself or on the process of acquisition of this knowledge. The thesis concludes that initiation into color in children’s picture books is marked by cultural evidences, but also invites us to go beyond the mere idea of "evidence", and to consider that not only the colored patterns and symbols, nor even the color spectrum’s division, testify to the cultural permanences. The approach to color pedagogy is indeed cultural in itself, since the desire to develop creativity and to free the learner from constraints in France contrasts with the permanent concern to be as didactic as possible in Korea. Considering this, initiation into color takes on quite another cultural dimension

Testo completoUkiyo-e means the prints produced in Japan between the 17th and 19th centuries. They reflect the social and economic changes in Japanese society during the Edo period (1615-1868), era of peace and prosperity, and adopt a new iconography depicting scenes of everyday life and the pleasures of life. The techniques and materials used by artists are also changing. The first coloured prints appear in the early 18th century. From the 19th century, with Japan's economic opening, chemical pigments imported from the West enrich the available color palette. The Federico Torralba Collection (Museum of Zaragoza, Spain) includes ukiyo-e prints representative of the 18th and 19th centuries. Access to this corpus gives us the opportunity to study the materials used, through appropriate non-invasive and contactless methods, and to follow the evolution of technologies and/or materials (local or imported) used. A methodological development is imperative to analyse and characterise these materials (pigments, dyes, binders), including organic dyes which are difficult to identify. Reflectance spectroscopy techniques in the infrared (FORS) and Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) are theoretically capable of distinguishing organic from inorganic materials. However, the analysed works are often complex systems and the data obtained are difficult to interpret with certainty for the most of the time. It is therefore essential to establish a multianalytical strategy to cross the data in order to get maximum information allowing the identification of materials. The study of the evolution of materials over time gives the opportunity to obtain important information in art history and history of technology, reflecting the cultural and societal evolution in 19th century Japan

Testo completoThe main subject of this thesis is to show the multiple identities of the phenothiazine ring family. The author personnifies this chemical ring and follows its voyage throughout many settings. Phenothiazine is followed from its origin, synthetic dyes, to its use in the pharmaceutical industry with the invention of therapeutical chemistry, through the clinical realm, before revolutionizing psychiatry. During each step, the molecule is accompagned and assisted by a personnality. Paul Ehrlich presides its physiological dye destiny. Then, Ernest Fourneau witnesses its rebirth as medecine. Later, Henri Laborit and Pierre Huguenard use it for clinical treatments and finally, Jean Delay and Pierre Deniker lead the ring to its apothany in psychiatry. The narration escapes relating this Odessey as a success story or a teleological history by revealing unexpected and unphathomed transformations for each stage undergone by the phenothiazine ring

Testo completoThe Bouquechardière is a moralized universal history written from 1416 by Jean deCourcy, a Norman knight. Despite this rather unusual appropriation of a historical genreparticularly rooted in theology, Jean de Courcy's text has not aroused much critical interest. Ourpresent work fills this gap by questioning the way in which the lay author revisits the historicaland homiletic codes that were until then the prerogative of clerics. On a broader level, our studyalso makes it possible to better identify the variability of an auctorial panorama and a literarycommunication in full evolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Coming from a secular culture,Jean de Courcy must impose his intellectual and moral credibility in the field of writing.Without usurping the roles of the cleric or the intellectual, he creates his own « fonctionauteur »: an amateur writer who bases his legitimacy on an experience acquired in the world,an accumulation of knowledge through reading and a devotional attitude. His Christian andedifying approach to reading determines the choice to write an Ancient History at a time whenwriters tend to react to current events. Indeed, the way in which he ordered, compiled, selectedand recomposed the material reveals a strong submission of history to the eschatologicalperspective. Tracing a historical continuum from the actors of Antiquity to the contemporaryreader, the compiler creates the necessary conditions for its actualisation. The spiritual purposeof the reading then allows the surprising insertion of Ovidian fables into the historicalframework. Historicalized mythological fiction contains a hermeneutical potential : it is offeredas a sign of God to be deciphered by using an analogical and allegorical method. It.

Testo completoThis thesis’ aim is to propose an in-depth study of the dye-sources and dyeing and colouring techniques used for textiles in the Nasca civilization. This Pre-Columbian, pre-literate civilization flourished on the southern coast of Peru during some nine centuries (200 BC to 700 AD). In its material culture, textiles are very numerous and many of them are of outstanding quality, with a rich polychromatic ornamentation. Polychromy probably was of great significance among the Nasca and textiles seem to always have been of particular importance in Andean culture. Nevertheless, the material sources of the colours on these dyed and painted textiles have remained a comparatively poorly explored research field. It therefore appeared as a promising, innovative quest to try and identify the colouring matters used by Nasca textile artists, using state-of-the art physico-chemical analytical methods. To this effect, botanical and anthropological field missions were first conducted in order to identify and collect colouring sources that might have been employed by the Nasca dyers and textile painters. A corpus of archaeological textiles was assembled, selecting textiles discovered in the course of recent archaeological excavations on the sites of Los Molinos, Estaqueria and Cahuachi, the latter being the antique political and ceremonial centre of the Nasca civilization. A number of textiles from other cultures (Topará, Mochica and Nasca-derived) were also analyzed to allow comparisons.Our results bring precious new information on the production of dyes and paints on Nasca textiles. Allowing even further prospects than these important technical discoveries, they bring new light into complex archaeological issues, such as the cultural attribution of archaeological textiles whose provenance is unknown or disputed, which is the case for some textiles from the Paracas peninsula

Testo completoTo evoke the place of free coloureds in Martinic from the earliest times to 1815, it is evoked a curious paradox. In order to apprehend this last and to tackle free coloureds position in the society, it had to look into the process of development of this group from 1635 to the day before french revolution. The access of this process could not become without taking into consideration of the political controlled by the administration on emancipation. The utilization of parish registers (then registers of births, marriages and deaths) and deeds executed by a notary permitted confrontation between the theory (the colonial right) and the daily practical. It had to show how in spite of french revolution and these ideals, and this impact in Martinic, the segregation be continued against free coloureds group and confirmed space in between of this group in the society in spite of these numerical and economic growth (by way of emancipation principally), and those, as far as the beginning of the Restoration. The colonial political controlled by different administrations who followed one another and unrest who perturbed etablished order assisted the comprehension of this phenomenon. If free coloureds were assimilated since 1685 to natural subjects of french kingdom with the same rights, privileges and immunities, they did not exercise as whites some public responsabilities and offices, some liberal trades, some positions in militia (officers). Before the end of observation period (1815), some people were succeded to hoist themselves economically on a level with whites wholesalers. In spite of that, they were limited in a intermediate place between whites and slaves, a "buffer zone". Free coloureds who were as well as blacks than halfcastes have been rejected by whites that they would wish to equal and despised in general slaves even when they had common interests (a mother or a sister in slavery). As whites, they possessed slaves, estates and houses. However, their situation was so paradoxical in the colonial society

Testo completoAs soon as a free population of color made its appearance in 18th century South Carolina, it was perceived as an anomaly. Free people of color were the result of a combination of circumstances. Consequently, their social integration varied through time and depended on whether they were seen as a menace to slavery or if they were considered to represent a stabilizing factor for its sustainability. White South Carolinians formed a united racial front as the sectional tension grew. The reordering of the social hierarchy according to strict racial lines was achieved at the expense of free people of color who were socially marginalized. Far from reaching the desired effect of eliminating them, these social pressures paradoxically partook in fostering free people of color’s sense of a separate identity. Their aspirations for a full social integration progressively developed into a process of autonomisation and velleities of socio-racial separatism

Testo completoThis thesis in social history aims to reconsider the social interactions in the early modern Caribbean cities by relying on a transimpérial and multi-site approach. This research is at the intersection of three urban observatories: the colonial militia, the “second elites”, and the “coloured” people. Each of these observatories allows to think the colonial city as a place which gathers several “spaces of belonging”: militia units, guilds, parishes, brotherhoods. This centrality accentuates collective control and contradictory allegiances. At the same time, and to a certain extent defined both by social positions and local context, these many languages of belonging are also a resource that allows actors to manipulate social norms and classifications.The multi-site approach highlights the specificity of each context, as well as the imperial or global implications of local colonial experiences. By asking the question of belonging, this thesis evaluates the role of local actors and contexts in the forming of empires and perpetuation of colonial order. The Caribbean is a fertile ground to analyse and compare these mechanisms, given that it is a war area which connects fragmented, scattered and instable sovereignties.Despite the specificities of each context, all Caribbean urban areas share more or less “colourized” ways of saying hierarchies and social positions. This process of “colourization” shows the transimperial circulation of many categories of practice. However, these categories are locally selected and appropriated. This thesis focuses on the local implications of these circulations, which do not homogenize the Caribbean and often generate misunderstandings, refusals or tensions in their context of reception. Finally, this thesis shows that the “color” of individuals, constructed in situ and constantly renegotiated, constitutes a discursive resource that conceals complex mechanisms of social and political domination, together with violent power relations that can vary considerably from one city to another, and from one “space of belonging” to another
En esta tesis de historia moderna se analizan las interacciones sociales en las ciudades del Caribe a través de un enfoque transimperial y multisituado. Nuestro trabajo se sitúa al cruce de tres ópticas urbanas: las milicias coloniales, les élites segundas y la gente de “color”. A partir de estos puntos de observación podemos analizar la ciudad colonial como el lugar que centraliza múltiples marcadores y espacios de pertenencia social: milicias, profesiones, parroquias, hermandades. Esta centralización urbana refuerza el control colectivo y multiplica las filiaciones incompatibles. Dentro de unos ciertos límites definidos a través de las posiciones relativas de los individuos y del contexto local, la pluralidad de marcadores de pertenencia social constituye a su vez un conjunto de recursos que pueden ser utilizados para manipular las normas y las clasificaciones sociales. El enfoque multisituado da cuenta a la vez de las especificidades de los contextos locales y de las implicaciones imperiales o globales de las formas locales de la experiencia colonial. Interrogar los espacios de pertenencia social implica evaluar el papel de los individuas y de los contextos locales en la formación de las construcciones imperiales y en la perpetuación del orden colonial. El espacio Caribe, espacio de guerra, constituye el terreno ideal para el análisis y la comparación de estos mecanismos, puesto que permite observar territorios imperiales discontinuos, dispersos y precarios. A pesar de las especificidades de cada contexto, los espacio urbanos del Caribe comparten, en mayor o menor medida, procesos de “coloración” en cuanto a las maneras de expresar las jerarquías y las posiciones sociales. Esta “coloración” revela un amplio espacio transimperial de circulación de las categorías prácticas. Categorías a su vez seleccionadas y reapropiadas localmente. Así, esta tesis explora las implicaciones locales de estas circulaciones, que no suponen una homogeneización de los territorios del Caribe, y que a menudo provocan malentendidos o coyunturas de tensión en los contextos de recepción. Por último, esta tesis demuestra que el color de los individuos, construido in situ y renegociado en permanencia, constituye un recurso discursivo que disimula mecanismos complejos de dominación social y política, además de relaciones violentas de poder que pueden variar considerablemente de une ciudad a otra, y de un espacio de pertenencia social a otro

Testo completoThis thesis is an analysis of writings in english between 1948 and 1986 by south african authors of colour (defined as africans, coloureds and indians). 1948 was the year of the official institution of the appartheid policy which aimed at permently separating whites and blacks. The study starts from an analysis of their short stories, novels and other writings which changes, reflecting the attitudes of blacks which were modified in the course of the same generation from passive defence to active resistance. The themes of alienation and the raising of political consciousness are considered, as are historical, sociological, psychological, economic and other political factors. The study terminates in 1986, the tenth anniversary of the soweto uprising

Testo completoBorn in 1793 and a witness of the unprecedented upheaveals that decapited the former state of things, beyle appears as a man on whom time bore a deep influence. And so did it on his works. Indeed whichever way one considers them, stendhal's working keep up an impassioned relationship with the past, the present and the future , since posterity precisely divides the genius that will transcend his era from the man of letters that remains a prisoner of his time. So that in the detail of his narrative fiction, the themes (the fair-haired aristocrat versus the plebeian 'scarlet and black'), the construction of the plot (the succession of events insidiously undermined by repetition and the mistreatment of time), the attribution of roles (strength, which propels history, organizes the characters), etc. , seem to be the instruments of a chronicler that renounced the concepts of causality and a luminous flow of time. With stendhal, awhole philosophy of history is brought to an end. The patterns of time cannot be superposed. Such is the way of life, such is the way of world : the memoirs from beyond the tomb put an end to the

Testo completoThe aim of this thesis is to study the historical, technical, stylistic, and symbolic evolution of the polychromatic roofs found in Burgundy between the 14th and the 20th centuries. The different iconographic, archaeological and written testimonies make it possible to analyse the place of the polychromatic pattern in the architecture, the choice of patterns and colours, the use of differently-shaped tiles (whether lead- or tin-glazed), the type of production (traditional or industrial), the sociological analysis and the symbolic readings, the influence received or given as well as the overuse of the “Burgundian roofs” to promote the image of the region during the 20th century. The synthesis of the historical data shows the existence of two cycles: the first one, brought on by the Gothic constructions in Ile-de-France during the 12th and 13th centuries, began with the first Burgundian evidence in the 14th century and lasted until the decline in the 18th century; it includes the apogee represented by the architecture of 17th century. The second cycle, which has started around 1840, found its origin in the ancient constructions and in the revival of the European interest for the ceramic architectural elements. This creativity petered out after 1914, with the last productions of the second cycle occurring between 1935 and 1940. Eventually, the development of tourism and the search for regional identities led to the metonymical use of these polychromatic roofs in the 20th century
Ercolessi, Philippe. "Extraction multimodale de la structure narrative des épisodes de séries télévisées". Toulouse 3, 2013. http://thesesups.ups-tlse.fr/2056/.
Testo completoOur contributions concern the extraction of the structure of TV series episodes at two hierarchical levels. The first level of structuring is to find the scene transitions based on the analysis of the color information and the speakers involved in the scenes. We show that the analysis of the speakers improves the result of a color-based segmentation into scenes. It is common to see several stories (or lines of action) told in parallel in a single TV series episode. Thus, the second level of structure is to cluster scenes into stories. We seek to deinterlace the stories in order to visualize the different lines of action independently. The main difficulty is to determine the most relevant descriptors for grouping scenes belonging to the same story. We explore the use of descriptors from the three different modalities described above. We also propose methods to combine these three modalities. To address the variability of the narrative structure of TV series episodes, we propose a method that adapts to each episode. It can automatically select the most relevant clustering method among the various methods we propose. Finally, we developed StoViz, a tool for visualizing the structure of a TV series episode (scenes and stories). It allows an easy browsing of each episode, revealing the different stories told in parallel. It also allows playback of episodes story by story, and visualizing a summary of the episode by providing a short overview of each story
Rowley, Neville. "Pittura di luce. La manière claire dans la peinture du Quattrocento". Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040197/document.
Testo completoThis thesis starts from an 1990 Florentine exhibition called “Pittura di luce” which intended to identify a trend in the mid-15th-century Florentine painting. This “painting of light” is not only, as was said at the time, a “coloured style” led by Fra Angelico and Domenico Veneziano, but it should be extended to a more “white manner”, from Masaccio to the first works of Andrea del Verrocchio, in the early 1470s. The technical and symbolical meanings of this style are to be studied as they reinforce the sense and the coherence of a trend publicly sustained by the Medici. The major aim of the “pittura di luce” is to make “emerge” religious paintings from the darkness of the churches (I). The study of the vast but also discontinuous geographical development of this “bright style” amplifies the hypotheses of the Florentine case: as much as a modern way of painting, it has very often a more archaic connotation of divine light. Piero della Francesca is surely the major figure of this ambivalent development (II). He is also one of the most significant examples of the way in which the “pittura di luce” was forgotten, and then rediscovered during the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to art historians and artists, but also to the changes of the conditions of vision of the works of art. In this sense, the “pittura di luce” is an important chapter of the history of look, that we propose to compare with other rediscoveries of similar “paintings of apparition” (III)
Moraes, Rodrigues Ariston. "O romantismo revisitado : Machado de Assis, primeiros romances". Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA053.
Testo completoThis work analyzes the first four novels of the Brazilian writer Machado de Assis (1839-1908) – Ressurreição (1872), A mão e a luva (1874), Helena (1876), and Iaiá Garcia (1978) – aiming to understand the link between these books and the Brazilian romantic movement. Although the novels were written at a time when Romanticism in Brazil was coming to an end, they were classified by critics of the early 20th century as romantic works because they contained recurrent narrative elements based on that movement which began in Brazil in 1836. Nevertheless, although such elements can be observed in the early work of Machado de Assis, they do not meet the technical procedure of the overall romanticist literary movement. It is thus necessary to discuss the extent to which these elements are deployed in the writer's initial novels. In order to do that, this work analyzes the process of creation of the Brazilian romantic movement, which is directly associated with the Empire of Brazil (1822-1889). This is important to understand the role of the local color, and more specifically of the Brazilian landscape, in the aesthetic basis of the Brazilian romanticism. From the outline of this basic structure of Brazilian romanticism, the analysis of the early novels of Machado de Assis shows that the author critically reviewed the romantic tradition to develop an original, creative, independent and universal literature
Este trabalho analisa os quatro primeiros romances do escritor brasileiro Machado de Assis (1839-1908) – Ressurreição (1872), A mão e a luva (1874), Helena (1876) e Iaiá Garcia (1978) – com a intenção de compreender a relação destes livros com o movimento romântico brasileiro. Apesar de terem sido escritos na época em que o romantismo no Brasil chegava ao seu fim, esses livros foram classificados pela crítica do início do século XX como obras românticas dada a recorrência de elementos narrativos aparentados a este movimento que, no Brasil, teve início em 1836. No entanto, ainda que se possa observar a presença de tais elementos nas obras de juventude de Machado de Assis, eles não obedecem ao proceder técnico desse movimento literário. Então, cumpre-se discutir em que medida e de que maneira esses elementos estão presentes nos romances iniciais do escritor. Para tanto, a discussão sobre o processo de criação do movimento romântico brasileiro, diretamente associado à afirmação da identidade nacional e do Império brasileiro (1822-1889), consiste numa questão relevante a fim de se compreender a importância da cor local, e mais especificamente da paisagem brasileira, no cerne estético do romantismo nacional. A partir do delineamento desse elemento estrutural do romantismo no Brasil, a análise dos primeiros romances de Machado de Assis permite constatar de fato o seu intuito de revisitar de forma crítica a tradição romântica no intento de desenvolver uma literatura original, criativa, independente e universal

Testo completoThe theoreticians of the cinematic voice, such as Michel Chion, Mary Ann Doane and Kaja Silverman, do not address vocal representation as an issue of gender and its relationship to race and postcolonialism. To the contrary, two contemporary filmmakers, Julie Dash and Trinh T. Minh-ha, use their “caméra-stylo” to deconstruct the dominant paradigm of the voice which has spectators believe that the image is at the source of the voices they hear. The films, Illusions and Daughters of the Dust by Dash, and Reassemblage, Naked Spaces and Surname Viet Given Name Nam by Trinh, show us how the cinematic voice is a construction. The stakes are high: white men use this vocal illusion as a lever to impose control over the world of epistemology. As an alternative, Dash and Trinh propose a feminist paradigm. The transcendent masculine voice is replaced by the immanent and polyphonic voices of women of color. Dash reveals the cinematic techniques of vocal reproduction, and she practices a classical editing that reaches for fidelity. The voices of her characters envelope the spectators. Trinh brings to the screen an understanding of the “architecture” of cinematic language, and her editing techniques suspend continuity. The spectator’s own voice must continually intervene in the construction of meaning. Through various techniques (synchronized/a-synchronized voice), the women characters come forward to witness the violence of men. Their stories reveal that the justice of the Law of the Father is as much an illusion as the cinematic voice. Women of color therefore take up the voice as a political tool: it holds the promise of changing mentalities and, in turn, the laws of city

Testo completoTo work on cinematographic black and white is to enter an alternative temporality that incarnates itself on screen through an absence of mimetic colors. It is in theory a cinema rooted in the past and reclaiming it visually. Why do certain filmmakers persist in using black and white instead of following the course of evolution towards color ? Why do they reject the evolution of techniques ? How do they reflect on it, build new technical and esthetical frames ? Are there any styles of black and white which fully belong to the present and don't refer to past techniques and aesthetics ?In a time when color holds an economic supremacy on cinema, black and white films offer a form of technical criticism on the domination of an industry. Far from an bichromic old fashioned, why and how does others black and white become instruments of a new critical esthetics against industrial audiovisual representation ?Chosing black and white allows for a new, different cinema to break with the conventions of realism. This different cinema « reflects » on black and white, transcending it through holistic experiences, synesthetic and cognitive, redefining cinema as a broader act of creative art. This PhD attempts to map and analyse its richness and diversity

Testo completoIn this master’s thesis, we sought to showcase the permutations of the colours of textile products bought during the sixty-two years under the Avignon papacy (1316-1378). The objective of this research is to develop a systematic and synthetic database that lists the permutations of coloured fabrics purchased by the Avignon papacy in the 14th century that are listed and compiled in the Introitus and Exitus. Our study also aims to explain the trends in the occurrence of these permutations using studies on the symbolism of colours in the 14th century. To be able to analyze the data that we collected and systematized, we called upon additional studies regarding the administration of the papacy, the symbolism of colours in the 14th century, the art of dyeing and the use of clothing. At the end of this study, we can maintain that the Avignon papacy allocates an important role to colours, hence the presence of many colours in the analyzed registers. The manifestations of these various colours are influenced by their symbolism in the 14th century, their dyeing techniques, and the intended use of coloured fabrics. Thus, red, white, green and brown are the most mentioned colours of textile products, these colours being in great demand because of their symbolism and their intended use with the Curia and Panhota. The appearances of gold, orange, violet, silver, purple, gray, black and blue are rarer, because of their price and the difficulties of obtaining fabrics of these colors.

Testo completoAfter WWII, the treatment of color in Hollywood cinema takes a new turn. Because it was too artificial, color was at first relegated to "unrealistic" films (musicals, westerns, etc). But in the post-war period, a change took place, and color was used in films that showed the common life of America, and became a new way of understanding contemporary issues. Color is not anymore a superfluous ornament, nor a mere device to increase realism: it is meaningful, as meaningful as any other element of the « mise en scène ». The bright colors and the exacerbation of the artifice are used from that time by some of the film-makers in a different purpose from that of pure entertainment : sometimes with irony, and even an underlying pessimism. What is aesthetically at stake in color films must be considered in the post-war context. The depreciation of color in the history of arts is an ancient trend, and since Antiquity, color in art has often been associated to feminine makeup and illusion. Hollywood films of the fifties changed the archetypical image of women: there was a shift from the mythical woman to women of flesh and blood, overtly sexualized, which allowed a more thorough evocation of the everyday life social relations. Through the actress and her acting - the way she manipulates color, or find a way to exist through it –, color releases itself from prejudices, participate to a release of expressiveness, and serve a rejection of basic mimesis.

Testo completoThis dissertation consists of two parts: a chamber opera and an article on the work of Claude Vivier.
"Cardano" is a new chamber opera by composer Bryan Christian about the work and tragic life of the Renaissance polymath Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576). Scored for three vocal soloists, an actor, and an eleven-part ensemble, "Cardano" represents a coalescence of Christian's interests in medieval and Renaissance sources, mathematics, and intensely dramatic vocal music. Christian constructed the libretto from fragmented excerpts of primary sources written by Cardano and his rival Niccolo Tartaglia. The opera reinvigorates Cardano's 16th-century scientific and philosophical models by sonifying and mapping these models to salient musical and dramatic features. These models prominently include Cardano's solution to the cubic equation and his horoscope of Jesus Christ, which was deemed so scandalous in the 16th century that it ultimately led to Cardano's imprisonment under the Roman Inquisition in 1570 - the opera's tragic conclusion. Presenting these ideas in opera allows them to resound beyond the music itself and project through the characters and drama on stage. In this way, the historical documents and theories - revealing Cardano's unique understanding of the world and his contributions to society - are given new life as they tell his tragic story.
Claude Vivier's homophonic treatment of combination tones--what he called les couleurs--demands an extension of traditional methods of harmonic and spectral analysis. Incomplete explanations of this technique throughout the secondary literature further demand a revised and cohesive definition. To analyze all variations of les couleurs, I developed the analytical concept of combination-tone classes (CTCs) and built upon Angela Lohri's (2010) combination tone matrix to create a dynamic CTC matrix, from which CTC sets may be extracted. Intensive CTC set analysis reveals a definitive correlation between CTC set and formal sections in Vivier's composition "Bouchara." Although formally adjacent CTC sets are often markedly varied, all sets share a subset of lower-order CTCs, aiding in perception of spectral cohesion across formal boundaries. This analysis illuminates the interrelationships of CTC sets to their parent dyads, their orchestration, their playing technique, and form in "Bouchara." CTC set analysis is compared with Vivier's sketches for "Bouchara," which suggest that les couleurs were intended as integral components of the work's musical structure.
