This thesis is about the possibility for program developers to write programs that are able to interact with already managed files. That means that they are compiled into intermediate language files, which is impossible to read for a human. The objective of this project was to develop a program that would use this possibility to interact with compiled files. This in order to extract information from them about how and if they reference to other chosen compiled files. This thesis also explains the different tools, such as programs, used in this project to accomplish the task at hand.

Many species exhibit some form of colour variation between groups or individuals, and studies of such colour variation, its genetic basis and functional importance can contribute unique insights into the evolutionary, ecological, demographic and genetic processes affecting the diversity of life. Through the examination of the genetics underlying colour traits, the relative importance of different selective and demographic processes in the evolution and maintenance of a trait can be inferred, enabling scientists to gain a better understanding of what drives evolutionary change in different organisms and environments. Such studies also assist in bridging the gaps in our knowledge about the interactions between genetics and ecology that are involved in phenotypic variation. Understanding the pathways linking genetic and regulatory changes to phenotypic change and evolutionary change through time contributes to our
knowledge about how species develop and evolve.
The Australian magpie (Cracticus tibicen), is a group-living and territorial passerine bird with a characteristic pied appearance of strongly contrasting patches of black and white plumage. The species has several different plumage forms, delineated by the colour and/or pattern of back feathers; these plumage forms hybridise where their distributions overlap. Distributions of plumage forms are highly discordant with patterns of phylogeographic structure found in this species, making a scenario of allopatric
divergence followed by secondary recontact at hybrid zones highly unlikely.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
It is often suggested that species differences in neophobia are related to differences in feeding or habitat specialisation. Generalist species, which have more to gain from exploring novel resources, tend to be less neophobic than specialists. However, some successful generalists including ravens, brown rats and coyotes also demonstrate high levels of neophobia. I explored this paradox using common magpies, a widespread generalist opportunist that displays behaviour indicative of high neophobia. Using a combination of field and short-term captive studies, I investigated whether novelty reactions were a fixed trait or varied according to object features and context as well as for different categories of novelty (i.e. objects, food, location). I found that novelty reactions in magpies were not influenced by object features such as colour, shape or size but varied greatly depending on environmental context and novelty category. Birds did not show avoidance of novel objects presented in novel environments but were extremely wary of similar novel objects presented in familiar environments, suggesting that violation of expectations may be more important than absolute novelty. Magpies could overcome the neophobia through repeated exploration of the objects over longer periods of time, but it affected their foraging behaviour. To avoid interactions with novel objects, wild-living magpies successfully employed an innovative technique that involves observing and pilfering from caching squirrels. Less aversion was shown towards novel food than to novel objects, while familiar objects and food encountered in novel locations were generally accepted. In total, this thesis suggests that neophobia is a complex and dynamic phenomenon in generalist foragers which may set protective limitations on the level of exploration. It can be overcome through learning and the development of alternative behavioural tactics such as kleptoparasitism.

The urbanised environment provides ecologists with unique situations in which to undertake ecological study. It has been said that urbanisation is like a natural experiment; we often have populations of animals that have gone from living in natural or semi-natural environments to living in a highly modified anthropogenic environment. These situations provide ideal settings to study the ecological and behavioural differences that may develop in populations located in different habitats. Urbanisation typically results in a minority of species dominating the fauna, and this thesis aimed to examine one such species, the Australian magpie. Despite the magpie being a common and well-liked suburban bird, the majority of previous research on this species has been undertaken within rural or exurban locations. This thesis aimed to examine what actually happens to the species when it lives in the suburban environment. In particular I focused on specific behavioural and ecological features, to see if there were any particular adaptations the suburban magpies showed and also if the suburban habitats provide certain resources favourable to the magpies and what ecological effects these may have. Comparisons of the territory structure and resources of rural and suburban magpies showed that although many features of the territory are similar between rural and suburban locations, notably the choice of native nest trees, magpie territories within suburban areas were smaller and contained more anthropogenic features. The reduced territory size may possibly be related to a greater abundance of key food resources also evident within suburban areas. Furthermore, suburban magpies are more successful in their foraging attempts, again possibly reflecting a more abundant food supply in suburbia and also the simplified nature of suburban foraging areas might facilitate more successful foraging. The increased foraging success is likely to explain the greater provisioning rate to nestling suburban magpies. Suburban magpies also utilised human provided foods. I quantified the extent of wildlife feeding within many of the suburban study sites of this thesis (through the use of questionnaire surveys). In each of the locations it was evident that at least one person (usually more) was providing a regular supply of food to wildlife and magpies appeared to be the main recipients of this food. Previous ecological studies suggest the provision of extra food to avian populations is likely to affect the breeding ecology, and this was so for magpies. The suburban populations initiated breeding significantly earlier than rural magpies. To test the influence of food, supplementary food was provided to rural magpies, not currently receiving any additional human provided foods. The fed rural magpies initiated breeding before control rural magpies (i.e. not receiving any additional food) but suburban magpies still initiated breeding before all other groups. This suggests additional factors present within suburbia, such as warmer temperatures, may also control the timing of breeding in magpies. Magpies in rural and suburban locations lived within different vertebrate communities. Within suburban magpie territories a greater number of intrusions were made by domestic animals, notably dogs (Canis lupus) and cats (Felis domesticus). The frequency of raptors entering the territorial areas occupied by magpies appears to suggest such events are more common in rural areas. The number of humans entering magpie territories was obviously greater in the more populated suburban areas and the majority of magpies responded neutrally to humans. However a group of magpies that previously exhibited extreme aggression towards humans were found to have a greater frequency of aggressive interactions with potential predatory intruders, which were primarily humans. Subsequent examination of the level of corticosterone from this aggressive group of magpies found that a high level of aggressive interactions with potential predators and humans is reflected in higher level of corticosterone, which may have implications for further behavioural and even physiological changes. An ability to habituate to human in urbanised areas is a key attribute of successful synanthropic species. Comparisons of magpies disturbance distances at different points along the urban gradient (the gradient that runs from the urbaised city to natural wildlands) found suburban magpies only responded to humans when they had approached to a close distance (often less than one metre) and many simply walked away to avoid the approaching human. Rural and exurban magpies responded to humans at greater distances than suburban magpies. The distance at which they responded to the human was usually 100 meters plus, and these magpies always flew away. A continuation of this investigation over a temporal scale again found the large difference in response to humans, with suburban magpies exhibiting a decreased response towards humans. However, a certain proportion of responses from suburban magpies were also aggressive. The examination of disturbance distance over the breeding season found that in suburban magpies the responses of most disturbance distance variables remained similar between breeding stages. Rural magpies, however, exhibited variation in their responses towards humans depending on the stage of breeding. It is suggested that the response of rural magpies may be a typical fear response towards an unusual potential threat. The studies presented in this thesis show that magpies have the behavioural capacity to take advantage of resources in suburban landscapes that are not available or are in lessor supply in rural landscapes, it is these abilities that facilitate the magpies synanthropy.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a large, sedentary, omnivorous passerine. In some populations, individuals live in groups, and some of these groups breed cooperatively. The white-backed magpie (G. t. tyrannica) from the south-eastern corner of the continent, has had relatively little study, and few details are known of its mating system, social structure, and method of parental care. I conducted an observational study on a population of white-backed magpies, recording details of their demography, dispersal, breeding system, and parental care. In conjunction, I conducted a genetic analysis of the population, to determine if the genetic mating system matched the observed social system, to detect instances of extra-group mating, and to sex juvenile birds. Extra-pair paternity (EPP) is a common feature of the mating systems of many birds. The rate of EPP may vary between species, races and populations. I made a comparison of extra-group paternity (EGP) rates between two races of the Australian magpie, to determine if similar mating systems were being employed. The two populations had similar social structure, but differed in group size and dispersal. I predicted that dispersal differences would have a profound effect on the rate of EGP between the populations, as the population with the lower rate of dispersal and higher chance of breeding with a close relative would engage in EGPs more frequently. Eight microsatellite loci were used to determine parentage in the white-backed Australian magpie. The rate of EGP was found to be 44%. Dispersal rates were estimated from observational data. Over half of the juvenile magpie cohort from the previous breeding season leave the territorial group. These results contrast sharply with the results found by other researchers in a population of western Australian magpies (G t. dorsalis). In this population, 82% EGP is recorded and dispersal of juveniles is close to nil. The results indicate that dispersal rate is a potentially important predictor of rates of extra-group fertilisations between populations of this species, and suggest that females maximise their reproductive output by avoiding breeding with close kin. The reproductive success of a male bird is often correlated with measurable traits that predict his intrinsic quality. Females are thought to select mates based on their quality to gain their 'good genes'. Male Australian magpies of the white-backed race were trapped in two breeding seasons. Measurements were taken of morphometric and other characteristics in order to discover whether particular traits of males were associated with: a) number of fledglings produced in the territory per season; b) percentage of offspring sired in the territory; and c) whether females select males for their 'good genes'. The only variable that was correlated with number of territorial offspring was feather lice load. Males with high numbers of lice were less likely to produce territorial fledglings in one season and across both seasons. Males of inferior quality may be subject to increased conspecific territorial intrusions, leading to more time spent on defence, more failed breeding attempts, less time allocated to grooming and thus high parasite loads. Males that produced many territorial fledglings were more likely to gain genetic paternity of at least some of them, although again this was significant for only one season. Also, across both seasons, a high number of females in the group was correlated with increased paternity within the group. The general lack of correlation between the variables and level of genetic paternity may be due to females engaging in extra-group mating primarily to avoid breeding with a close relative rather than to choose a quality male. In this scenario, males would not have to be 'high quality', but merely genetically different to the female's social mate. Extra-group paternity (EGP) can affect paternal effort. It may also influence the helping effort of auxiliary birds in cooperatively breeding species. If helping is driven by kin selection, helpers should decline to provision unrelated young. Relatedness becomes difficult to assess however, when females mate outside the group. Alternative rewards may then become important in helper decisions. In my study population of Australian magpies, 38% of fledglings were sired by males outside the territorial group. In a second population (G. t. dorsalis), 82% of fledglings were sired by extra-group males. I observed within-group male and helper feeding effort over three breeding seasons in the first population and obtained data recorded over a single season in the second population. In both populations, males provisioned young regardless of relatedness, as did helpers. Males provisioned less than the nesting female on average. Paternal effort did not reduce with an increase in the rate of EGP between populations. In the population with intermediate levels of EGP, the white-backed magpies, I observed helpers in about half of the sampled territories that produced fledglings. Helpers did not increase the production of young. In the population with high levels of EGP, western magpies, I detected helping behaviour in proportionally more territories. It appears that Australian magpie helpers provide help in order to pay 'rent' and remain on the natal territory. I discuss these results in light of the differences between the two races of magpie and the major theories regarding male parenting decisions and helper activity. Finally, I examine the relatively high rates of EGP's in the Australian magpie from a phylogenetic perspective. Although inbreeding avoidance is strongly supported by this study as the major reason EGP is so common in magpie populations, there may be an element of phylogenetic inertia that maintains the frequency of this behavioural trait. I comment upon the use of single-population estimates of species EGP rates in comparative analyses, given the intraspecific variation discovered between Australian magpie populations. Future directions for the study of mate choice in the Australian magpie are outlined with a proposal to study variation at the major histocompatibility complex between mated pairs.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

This Thesis introduces two novel experimental configurations for studying radiative shocks with the aim of improving our understanding of the physics involved, which is relevant to laboratory astrophysics, inertial confinement fusion and for benchmarking numerical simulations. Experiments on the Orion laser facility used lasers with an intensity of 5x10^14 W/cm^2 to drive counter-propagating shocks, with a velocity of 60 km/s, into a gas-fill (of Neon, Argon, Krypton or Xenon) with an initial mass density of 0.5 to 1.6 mg/cm^3. These experiments simultaneously study both the post-shock material and radiative precursor for the first time, with a combination of X-ray backlighting, self-emission streaked imaging and laser interferometry. Experiments with Neon gas-fills allowed for post-shock compression measurements, x23, and the counter-propagating shock configuration allowed reverse shocks to be studied. In addition, large gas-cells allowed for shocks to evolve in three dimensions, resulting in the formation of post-shock instabilities which will be the subject of future work. Experiments on the MAGPIE generator introduce the 'inverse liner z-pinch', building upon previous experiments on imploding liners where diagnostic access was limited and radiative effects occurred on spatial scales larger than the experiment. A 1 MA current pulse was passed through a liner embedded in a gas-fill (of Neon, Argon, Krypton or Xenon), with an initial mass density of 0.04 mg/cm^3, and returned through a central post. This launched a cylindrically expanding radiative shock which propagated at 10 km/s. Experiments were diagnosed with a combination of self-emission imaging, laser interferometry and optical emission spectroscopy. Shocks were able to propagate for several centimetres, allowing the ionization in the radiative precursor to be measured, which was not possible in previous experiments. Future work will use this platform to study radiative shocks with perturbations by introducing well characterised grooves on the surface of the liner.

During the Pleistocene, fluctuating climates led to cycles of glacial/arid activity interspersed with pluvial periods across continents in both northern and southern hemispheres. Many studies in the northern hemisphere have used genetic analysis to document the important role that glacial activity has played in structuring avian populations at high latitudes. However, few have attempted to study the associated effect of aridification at low latitudes in the southern hemisphere. I investigated the past effects that cyclic aridification may have had on the population structure and history of a widespread endemic Australian bird species, the Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) and two species of obligate feather ectoparasites.
1166 samples from across the native range of G. tibicen were analysed for mitochondrial control region sequence variation and variation at six microsatellite loci. Analysis of mitochondrial control region sequence data indicated monophyletic clades that were geographically congruent with an eastern and western region.
Analysis of mitochondrial variation at the sites sampled in this study suggested the contemporary distribution of eastern and western clades is non-overlapping but in close proximity. Analysis of microsatellite variation suggested that secondary contact may have occurred between eastern and western clades in north-western Australia. From AMOVA analysis and Bayesian analysis of population structure (BAPS) it was indicated that contemporary nuclear gene flow preceded mitochondrial gene flow from eastern populations through to north-western Australia. Most eastern, northern and north-western sites showed little geographic structure for microsatellite variation. BAPS analysis of microsatellite variation however, suggested there was as much structure among south-west populations as there was between eastern and western populations.
For a majority of population comparisons, estimates of gene flow based on coalescent analyses (LAMARC) suggested higher gene flow rates for males than predicted by differences in effective population size of nuclear DNA compared to mitochondrial DNA. This result coupled with the spread of nuclear DNA preceding mitochondrial DNA supports earlier studies that suggest dispersal in magpies in male biased.
Using the program IM, eastern and western mainland clades were estimated to have diverged in the Pleistocene around 36, 000 years ago. The island population of Tasmania was even more recent in origin, possibly since sea levels rose 16,000 years ago, inundating Bass Strait. The putative Carpentarian and possibly Canning barriers in the north and the Nullarbor-Eyrean arid barriers in the south appear to be associated with the divergence between eastern and western mainland populations. Nested clade analysis indicated a signature of range expansion in the eastern region suggesting movement possibly inland and northward subsequent to the last period of aridity. Although not significant, north-eastern and south-eastern populations appeared to show some evidence of a population expansion from mitochondrial DNA.
Collectively, phylogeographic analyses suggested that increasing aridity during the Pleistocene played an important role in structuring the Australian magpie.
The east to west pattern of mtDNA divergence that was identified contrasts with the striking north to south pattern in morphological (back colour) variation in magpies. Over a large proportion of northern Australia, magpies are black backed (BB) and over a smaller area in southern Australia, magpies are white backed (WB). Between BB’s and WB’s a contact zone is present where both parental forms and magpies with an intermediate black band occur. The discordance between back colour and mtDNA structure in magpies suggests recent history is not responsible for the
morphological variation.
Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I sequence variation was analysed for two species of feather lice associated with G. tibicen. Philopterus sp. has greater habitat specificity than Brueelia semiannulata and as predicted showed deeper divergences among populations than B. semiannulata. There was concordance between the distribution of mitochondrial clades for Philopterus sp. and magpies. The overlap of eastern magpie haplotypes and western Philopterus sp. haplotypes at one site suggested secondary contact among eastern and western clades in northern Australia. Two clades were also evident for B. semiannulata. However they were not congruent with geographic structure of the host or Philopterus sp. Rather, the two non-overlapping B. semiannulata clades were distributed in northern and southern Australia. The divergent clades of B. semiannulata may represent populations that diverged on magpies that were isolated prior to the last period of aridity. It was evident that gene flow occurs among populations of northern and southern B. semiannulata; therefore the contemporary maintenance of divergent clades may be due to selection. One possibility is that selection for thermal tolerance is maintaining current distributions of B. semiannulata.Overall microsatellite variation and mtDNA variation in host and lice suggest that increasing aridity and Pleistocene refugia played a role in structuring populations of the Australian magpie. Since the Pleistocene, the dispersal ability and generalist habitat requirements may have facilitated the movement of magpies into an almost contiguous modern distribution across the continent. This study supports the idea that Pleistocene aridification played an important role in structuring intraspecific variation in low latitudinal southern hemisphere avian species.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Le projet de recherche se propose d’explorer le rapport particulier entre « l’écrire » et la magie en se plaçant au plus près de la matérialité de l’écriture : avec quoi et sur quoi écrit-on ? Les romans antiques et les aventures du roi Arthur et des chevaliers de la Table Ronde, des XIIème et XIIIème siècles, œuvres qui constituent notre corpus*, font état de parchemins, de « lettres », de tissus ou vêtements, de peaux d’animaux ou humaine, de supports végétaux, de pierres tombales, d’armes sur lesquels on écrit, parfois avec deux ou trois couleurs, avec différents « instruments » : plumes d’oiseau (avec des encres), stylets pointus par exemple. De manière atypique, des substrats éphémères comme la farine, la cendre, la neige apparaissent ; le sang des hommes (ou des animaux), souvent, y laisse des traces, des signes. Les messages ainsi écrits ne sont pas toujours fondés sur l’alphabet (par exemple dans le Lai du Chèvrefeuille). Le support et la forme de ces écritures ont un sens particulier et confèrent une valeur magique aux messages laissés, par les personnages, hommes ou femmes, magiciens ou initiés. L’imaginaire de l’écrire est différent de celui de l’écriture: il repose sur le support, sa matérialité et sera la piste à privilégier dans notre enquête. Nous nous poserons donc la question de l’intentionnalité des signes dans ces messages, en fonction du choix du support, quel qu’il soit. Les œuvres de notre corpus ont été écrites dans une période qui connaît l’immense développement, en langue vernaculaire, de la littérature médiévale ; elle a un lien très fort avec l’oralité et le folklore. Notre enquête accordera une importance particulière aux traditions populaires, au folklore, aux croyances magiques ; les contes, les légendes, les textes hagiographiques ainsi que des textes à valeurs non littéraires seront considérés pour comprendre la part de l’imaginaire dans l’acte d’écrire, en prenant en compte, le cas échéant, des récits d’autres aires culturelles, extra-européennes et en réfléchissant sur la dimension anthropologique de l’acte d’écrire. De même, les noms (des personnes, des lieux) ainsi que les dates seront considérés avec attention. Le concept d’«écriture magique » sera défini et cerné : qu’envisageons-nous dans cette magie qui peut être liée aux supports, aux signes, à la langue utilisée pour rédiger le message, et à la personne qui écrit ? Il s’agira donc de donner un sens au mot « magie » en se fondant sur l’étymologie, sa relation au sacré, à la religion, à la sorcellerie. Nous nous appuierons dans cette recherche sur ce qui est connu des supports cités dans le corpus, en nous fondant sur le relevé des occurrences des termes décrivant l’acte d’écrire, et leur étymologie. Cette magie a une incidence sur l’imaginaire qui n’est pas un simple état de fait. Les œuvres de notre corpus gardent des traces de mythes anciens sur l’apparition de l’écriture (sans la confondre avec le dessin ou la peinture), de ses pouvoirs, de sa relation à la magie et au sacré. Ces mythes évoluent, coexistent avec la vision chrétienne mais ne meurent pas. Ils seront ainsi parties prenantes de notre recherche pour questionner les différents imaginaires de la cryptographie. * Corpus : - Les romans antiques o Le roman d’Eneas o Le roman de Thèbes o Le roman de Troie o Le roman d’Alexandre - La matière arthurienne o Chrétien de Troyes (Bibliothèque de la Pléiade) o Les poèmes tristaniens français, Le lai du Chèvrefeuille (et des références possibles à d’autres lais de Marie de France) o Continuations de Perceval o Le livre du Graal (Bibliothèque de la Pléiade) ; Le Livre du Graal I : Joseph d'Arimathie ; Merlin ; Les premiers faits du roi Arthur, ; Le Livre du Graal. II, Lancelot : de "La Marche de Gaule" à "La première partie de la quête de Lancelot", ; Le Livre du Graal. III Lancelot : la seconde partie de la quête de Lancelot. La Quête du saint Graal. La Mort du roi ArthurThe research project suggests exploring the particular relationship between " to write " and the magic by taking place as closely as possible to the materiality of the writing: with what and on what do we write? The antique novels and the adventures of king Arthur and Knights of the Round Table, XIIth and XIIIth centuries, works which constitute our corpus, state parchments, "letters", tissues or clothes, of skins of animals or human, plant supports, gravestones, weapons on which we write, sometimes with two or three colors, with various "instruments": feathers of bird (with ink), sharp stylets for example. In a atypical way, substrata short-lived as the flour, the ash, the snow appear; the blood of people (or animals), often, leaves with it signs. Messages written are not still established on the alphabet (for example in the Lay of the Honeysuckle). The support(medium) and the shape of these writings have a particular sense and confer a magic value on the left messages, by the characters, the menor the women, the magicians or the initiated people. The imagination of this kind of cryptography is different from that of the writing: it bases on the support, its materiality and will be the track to favor in our survey(investigation). We shall thus ask ourselves the question of the intentionality of the signs in these messages, according to the choice of the support(medium), whatever it is. The works of our corpus were written for a period which knows the immense development, in vernacular language, the medieval literature; it has a very strong link with the oral character and the folklore. Our survey(investigation) will grant(tune) a particular importance for the popular traditions, for the folklore, for the magic faiths; the tales, the legends, the hagiographic texts as well as the texts with not literary values will be considered to include the part of the imagination in the act to write, by taking into account, where necessary, narratives of the other cultural, extra-European areas and by thinking about the anthropological dimension of the act to write. Also, names (people, places) as well as dates will be considered with attention. The concept of " magic writing " will be defined and encircled: what do we envisage in this magic which can be bound(connected) to supports(media), to signs, to language(tongue) used to draft the message, and to the person who writes? Il will thus involve of giving a sense(direction) to the word "magic" by basing(establishing) itself on the etymology, its relation in the sacred, in the religion, in the witchcraft. We shall lean in this search(research) on what is known supports(media) quoted in the corpus, by basing(establishing) us on the statement of the cases(occurrences) of the terms describing the act to write, and their etymology. This magic has an incidence on the imagination which is not a simple established fact. The works of our corpus keep(guard) tracks of former(old) myths on the appearance of the writing (without her(it) confusing(merging) with the drawing or the paint(painting)), of its powers, his(her,its) relation for the magic and for the sacred. These myths evolve, coexist with the Christian vision but do not die. They will so be stakeholders of our search(research) to question the various imagination of cryptography

Cette thèse fait suite à un travail de terrain mené de 2007 à 2010 dans un village d'agriculteurs-pêcheurs du sud-est de l'île de Zanzibar intégré à l'arc swahili. L'histoire du peuplement du village est placée dans la création et la dynamique de la société swahili depuis ses origines dans une perspective afro-centrée, afin d'analyser les raisons et les modes de la conversion des habitants à l'islam. Les populations ont construit dans le temps leur croyance religieuse de manière sélective, ce qui a maintenu le système de représentation et de pensée traditionnel. La recomposition contemporaine dans la communauté est explorée par le biais de l'organisation du village, de sa vie sociale et des traditions bantoues aux côtés de l'islam qui rythme le quotidien. La société, non figée, possède son libre arbitre en préservant une pluralité culturelle (place et rôle des ancêtres, cultes de possession etc.) et en ayant accepté une reconstitution avec des emprunts islamiques qui l'ont enrichie en termes de cohésion sociale et de valeurs morales notamment. Les pratiques magiques et sorcellaires largement détaillées, qui se trouvent au cœur de la démonstration, font apparaître que l'imaginaire collectif est assis sur un socle magique qui continue à expliquer les phénomènes de la maladie, de l'infortune etc. au delà des convictions religieuses musulmanes sincères des habitants. La magie et la sorcellerie, banales dans le quotidien, sont constituées d'une juxtaposition ou d'un assemblage de rituels opéré par une magie opportuniste qui utilise l'islam (manipulations diverses du Coran) pour renforcer les pratiques bantoues quand cela est nécessaire et légitimer des actes peu compatibles avec les principes de la religion. La dynamique de la sorcellerie africaine et islamique se trouve renforcée par de nouvelles données sociologiques (convoitise et jalousie exacerbées, montée des individualismes et perte d'influence des anciens). La thèse suggère, dans une orientation relativiste, que les représentations quotidiennes ancrées dans la matrice africaine bantoue demeurent le mode d'accès à la vérité du monde. Les compromis complexes et multiformes opérés avec l'islam à travers un système de «fertilisation croisée», permettent de maintenir un équilibre social et spirituel et d'affirmer une compatibilité des schémas entre eux dans une communauté qui a refusé de choisir entre deux systèmes de sensThis thesis follows my field work carried out from 2007 to 2010 in a village located in the south eastern part of Zanzibar Island, part of the Swahili area and peopled by farmers and fishermen. The way the village became populated is related to the creation and the dynamics of the Swahili society in an afro-centred perspective so as to analyse the reasons for and the modes of the population's conversion to Islam. Over the years the peoples have secured their faith in Islam in a selective way, which has kept the traditional system of representation and thinking alive. The contemporary reconstitution within the community is scrutinized through the organisation of the village, its social life and Bantu traditions as well as the Islamic religion pulsing the population's daily life. This society, in constant evolution, keeps its own free will by safeguarding a cultural multiplicity (place and role of the ancestors, cults of possession…) and by accepting Islamic elements to be part and parcel of their community, which has made it both richer and stronger in terms of social cohesion and moral values. The fully-detailed magic and witchcraft practices at the core of the demonstration reveal that the collective imagination is deeply rooted in a magic base which keeps accounting for the phenomena of diseases, ill-fortune and so on, despite the sincere Muslim religious beliefs of the inhabitants. Magic and witchcraft, commonplace in their everyday life, are made up of a juxtaposition or an assembly of rituals initiated by some opportunistic magic which resorts to Islam (diverse manipulations of the Koran) in order to strengthen Bantu practices when necessary and to legitimize acts far from being compliant with religious tenets. The dynamics of African and Islamic witchcraft is being enhanced by new sociological data (a heightened sense of covetousness and jealousy, a steady rise in individualism and the ancestors gradually losing their clout). The present thesis, suggests in a relativist perspective that the daily representations remain firmly anchored in the African Bantu matrix as an access to the truth of the world and that the complex and multifaceted compromises with Islam through some « cross-fertilization » system contribute to maintaining a social and spiritual equilibrium and to advocating some compatibility between the different thinking patterns in a community which has refused to choose between the two of them

Le but de ce travail est de situer les divinités égyptiennes et les mythes dans lesquels ellesinterviennent dans le contexte des sources médicales et magiques et de déterminer si elles seprésentent de façon identique dans celles se référant à des sources plus orthodoxes telles lescompositions épigraphiques des temples. Les divinités et les mythes dans lesquels elles interfèrentsont les mêmes dans les deux types de sources. Cependant dans le cadre de la magie et de lamédecine, elles apparaissent plus « humaines » étant sous-tendues par des nécessités de la viequotidienne ainsi que de piété populaire et personnelle. Ce travail intègre les textes sources àl’exposé des idées dans le but d’offrir une logique continue à la démonstration. Bien souvent destextes funéraires (textes des Pyramides, textes des Sarcophages, Livre des Morts…) permettent unearticulation entre divers mythèmes et une meilleure compréhension de l’ensemble d’un mythe. Troisannexes sont ajoutées concernant les lois générales de la magie, la magie dans les textes médicauxde l’Égypte ancienne ainsi que les principaux textes magiques et/ou médicaux publiésThe aim of this work is to place and study egyptian divinities and their myths insituation, specialy in medical and magical context. Have they the same aspect and comportmentthan the same divinities in canonical scripts such as those written in temples for example ? In factthey are the same divinities but they present a more « human » caracter because they are specialypreoccupied with every day life, personal and popular piety. In this work the primary sources andthe demontration are interwoven for a better understanding of the problem. Frequently funerarytexts (Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, Book of the Dead…) offer an articulation between« mythèmes » and then a better comprehension of a myth in totality. Three annexes are added aboutgeneral laws of magic, magic in ancient Egypt in medical texts and magical and medical textspublished

Os Papiros Gregos Mágicos são uma coletânea de textos sobre magia do Egito Greco-Romano. Seus feitiços mostram uma mistura de várias tradições, em especial a egípcia e a grega. Uma característica dessa coletânea que se destaca é a presença das chamadas voces magicae, palavras mágicas de aspecto misterioso e sem sentido lexical aparente. Esta dissertação se concentra em analisar as voces magicae em seu contexto textual, a fim de compreender melhor como esse elemento ocorre nos encantamentos. Para isso, foi estabelecido um banco de dados com as voces magicae de cada feitiço e as mesmas foram analisadas levando em conta os termos que eram adjacentes à elas. Os tipos de contexto nos quais as palavras mágicas figuram foram discutidos a partir de exemplos retirados do corpus. Com base nessa análise, foi possível levantar algumas hipóteses sobre a natureza das palavras mágicas e o tipo de função que exercem nos feitiços.The Greek Magical Papyri are a collection of magical texts from Graeco-Roman Egypt. Its contents display a mixture of different traditions, mainly Egyptian and Greek. A noticeable feature in these texts is the so-called voces magicae, mysterious looking words with no apparent lexical meaning. This dissertation focuses on analyzing the voces magicae in their textual context in order to better comprehend how this feature appears on incantations. A database was established with vox magica taken from the spells. The voces magicae were analyzed according to the words next to them. The different contexts in which voces magicae were found were discussed with examples from our corpus. Based on this analysis, it was possible to raise a few hypotheses on the nature of magical words and what kind of function they have on spells.

In Europe the views on the demand of magnesium by agricultural plants as well as on the need for magnesium fertilization are different. In European countries uses different methods for determining the available magnesium content in soil. Different assessment of soil characteristics in different countries as well as very unequal magnesium fertilization rates for crops have encouraged us to review the methods of determining available magnesium in soil and the effect of magnesium fertilizer on plants. The appropriateness of applying the magnesium determination methods commonly used in different soils in Europe was established and scientifically based as well as their relationship, recalculation algorithms for the values of available magnesium obtained by applying different determination methods were prepared. The effect of the plant available magnesium content in predominant soils of Lithuania determined by different methods and that of magnesium fertilizer on the yield of Italian ryegrass and spring barley were investigated. Summarizing the research developed the most suitable determination of available magnesium in Lithuanian soil and crop fertilization magnesium fertilizer recommendations. Different solubility of magnesium in different soils and magnesium fertilizers on agricultural plants in Lithuania was studied for the first time.Požiūris į magnio poreikį žemės ūkio augalams, o tuo pačiu tręšimą magnio trąšomis, įvairiose šalyse nėra vienodas.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
La présente étude se consacre à examiner les attitudes de Rabelais vis-à-vis de la magie. Sous l’angle biographique il est connu que notre humaniste ne manque pas d’occasions de se familiariser avec ce courant de pensée. Ses connaissances de l’occultisme se reflètent profondément dans son oeuvre. L’ironie de Rabelais face à la magie, qui existe certes dans son texte, n’est pourtant pas totale, vu qu’il puise son inspiration sincère dans le réservoir magique. Le sujet de la magie chez Rabelais, constituant une problématique complexe, attire souvent l’attention des critiques, mais fait rarement l’objet d’études sérieuses malgré son importance. En prenant comme fil conducteur le manuel de magie à grand succès, De occulta philosophia, d’Henri-Corneille Agrippa von Nettesheim, notre thèse tente d’éclaircir ce que Rabelais doit à des humanistes versés dans la magie, tels que Marsile Ficin ou Coelius Rhodiginus. Suivant la classification d’Agrippa, notre analyse textuelle porte successivement sur la magie céleste, la magie naturelle et la magie cérémonielle, ainsi que la magie démonique. En s’inspirant de saint Augustin et de Ficin, Rabelais distingue la magie blanche de type nécessaire, studieux et scientifique de la magie noire de caractère vain, curieux et ostentatoire. Mais en même temps, la stratégie littéraire de Rabelais laisse en suspens des choix possibles et variés pour expliquer les phénomènes admirables en parsemant son texte d’indices fabuleux pour inciter le lecteur à plus haut sens.a mon avis, Rabelais subit leur influence de façon plus profonde qu'on ne le dit, et puise son inspiration dans la lecture de leurs livres. l'hermétisme étant à la fois une pensée philosophique, religieuse, chimique et syncrétique, mon sujet nous permet de réexaminer globalement des problèmes variés concernant Rabelais. tout cela contribuera à l'interprétation de l'œuvre de RabelaisThe present study aims to examine Rabelais’s attitudes towards magic. From a biographical point of view, it is known that our humanist did not lack opportunities to familiarise himself with this current of thought. And hisknowledge of occultism is profoundly reflected in his works. Although Rabelais can be seen to treat the topic of magic with a degree of irony, he nonetheless appears to draw sincere inspiration from magical works and texts. While magic in Rabelais’s works, and its resultant complexities, have always attracted the attention of critics, its use and significance have not been sufficiently investigated in previous studies. Led by clues found in the bestsellingmanual of magic, De occulta philosophia by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, this study attempts to clarify the influence on Rabelais of humanists well-versed in the art of magic, such as Marsilio Ficinoor Coelius Rhodiginus. Employing Agrippa’s classification taxonomy, our textual analysis deals successively with celestial magic, natural magic and ceremonial magic, as well as demonic magic. Analysis reveals that Rabelais, inspired by Saint Augustine and Ficino, distinguishes white magic of necessary, studious, and scientific type from black magic of vain, curious, and ostentatious character. The literary strategy of Rabelais, however, leaves open a number of possible method of elucidating admirable phenomena, scattering the text with fabulous indices in order to invite readers to interpret them in a higher sense

Este trabalho pretende investigar algumas das relações que se estabelecem, no campo religioso brasileiro, entre umbanda e Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD). Para além do discurso demonizador neopentecostal, que classifica as religiões afrobrasileiras como \"coisa do diabo\", acredito haver diversas trocas simbólicas entre essas denominações que, a princípio, parecem tão distantes. A etnografia estará estruturada de forma a mostrar, inicialmente, o funcionamento interno desses dois sistemas religiosos - atentando para suas cosmologias e estruturas rituais. Em seguida, será abordado o intenso intercâmbio simbólico que se estabelece entre eles. Será dedicada especial atenção a determinados símbolos que são fundamentais para compreender o relacionamento dessas religiões: os exus e as pombagiras são os melhores exemplos. Finalmente, serão discutidas questões que poderiam ser consideradas mais \"espinhosas\" no que diz respeito ao relacionamento entre umbanda e IURD: notadamente, as polêmicas sobre a intolerância e o preconceito no campo religioso brasileiro.This work intends to investigate some of the relations that have been established, in the Brazilian religious field, between Umbanda and the Universal Church of The Kingdoom of God. Beyond the neopentecostal accusations of devilishness, that set Afro-Brazilian religions as \"devil-like\", I believe there are some symbolic exchange between these two religions that, at first, seem so far apart. The ethnography is set in a way to display, initially, the internal working of these two religious systems - looking into their cosmologies and ritual structures. Then, the intense exchanges set between them will be approached. Specific attention will be given to particular symbols that are crucial to understand the relationship of these religions: the exus and the pombagiras are the best examples. Finally, some questions concerning the relationship between Umbanda and the Universal Church that could be considered more \"delicate\" will be discussed: the polemics about intolerance and prejudice in the field of religion in Brazil.

Cette étude a pour but de montrer le rôle et l’importance que pouvaient avoir les différentes formes de magie et de divination dans le monde mésobyzantin du premier iconoclasme à la quatrième croisade de 1204. Elle s’articule autour de deux grands thèmes de recherches complémentaires mais qui proposent toutefois une lecture différente des sources faisant état de ces pratiques à Byzance. Une lecture objective des sources normatives et narratives, complétée par des témoignages archéologiques, nous permet de considérer la place qu’occupaient la magie bénéfique, la magie maléfique et la divination dans la vie quotidienne des Byzantins, et cela en fonction de leurs besoins : popularité des phylactères et des soins magiques, services indécents et immoraux que la magie maléfique proposait, goût prononcé des Byzantins pour un vaste ensemble de divinations. Le deuxième axe de recherche met en exergue l’utilisation de la figure du magicien ou du devin dans des discours de propagande politico-religieuse, aussi bien dans la littérature hagiographique que dans les œuvres historiographiques. La réflexion se concentre d’abord sur le rôle alloué aux sorciers et aux devins dans le travail d’écriture des hagiographes, puis, d’un point de vue plus général, sur la diabolisation dont furent victimes différents hérésiarques qui étaient jugés un peu trop populaires. Enfin ces mêmes mécanismes ont été mis en évidence avec une attention toute particulière à propos de la question de l’iconoclasme, depuis l’histoire officielle iconodoule où les patriarches et empereurs hétérodoxes, victimes d’une violente damnatio memoriae, concentraient sur eux les accusations de sorcellerieThis study aims at showing the role and the importance of different kinds of magical and divinatory arts in the middle Byzantine era, from the first iconoclasm up to 1204. It focuses on two main approaches, based on two different readings of the literary evidence.First, using the evidence of normative and narrative sources, along with archaeological artefacts, this work shows the importance, in response to specific needs, of beneficent and maleficent magic and divinatory arts in the everyday life of the Byzantines. The popularity of phylacteries and magical treatments is examined along with the conflicted nature of the relationship which existed between these practices and Byzantine orthodoxy. The different forms of maleficent magic are then explored and the services that they alone could offer. This section concludes with a discussion of Byzantines’ fascination for a great number of unorthodox divinatory arts which, in spite of their illicit nature, continued to be practiced.Second, this study emphasises the role of magicians and soothsayers in the political and religious propaganda. An attempt is first made to demonstrate how some hagiographers employed these useful opponents of saints as tools in their writings. Then, this work seeks to show how some heresiarchs, perhaps deemed too popular, were demonized, in an attempt to put an end to disruptive religious movements. Finally, particular attention is paid to iconoclasm, showing how heterodox emperors such as Leo III and his son Constantine V, and patriarchs such as John the Grammarian, were subjected to a violent damnatio memoriae by iconophile authors, something which could involve accusations of witchcraft

Cette thèse allie une étude de l’Atharvaveda, une tradition rituelle de l’Inde ancienne, à l’édition avec traduction et commentaire d’un livre d’hymnes appartenant à sa liturgie. L’auteur défend l’association de l’Atharvaveda avec la « magie », définie selon des critères structuraux plutôt que descriptifs, au moyen d’une étude historique de l’évolution au cours de l’époque védique (1500 à 500 avant notre ère) du rôle de l’Atharvaveda au sein de la communauté des prêtres-poètes brahmanes d’où elle émane, dans une position marginale par rapport aux trois Veda majeurs. Le rôle rituel des hymnes est ensuite étudié : l’analyse du discours finalement idéologique du poète védique sur le pouvoir de la parole, ainsi que du contexte concret des rites empreint des rivalités virulentes entre prêtres, suggère que l’application de la théorie austinienne de la performativité, souvent évoquée dans le domaine, n’est pas adaptée à l’interprétation rituelle des hymnes. L’auteur soutient que ceux-ci sont mieux compris sous un angle rhétorique en tant que véhicule d’un discours persuasif. Cette approche permet de rendre compte de la raison de la complexité poétique que peuvent atteindre ces hymnes. La seconde partie de ce travail comporte une édition critique des quarante hymnes du livre 3 du recueil atharvanique du nom de Paippalādasaṁhitā, accompagnée d’une première traduction en français et en anglais, ainsi que d’un commentaire détaillé pour chaque hymneThis thesis combines a study of the Atharvaveda, an ancient Indian ritual tradition, with an edition, translation, and commentary of a book of hymns from its liturgy. The author defends the association of the Atharvaveda with “magic”, defined according to structural rather than descriptive criteria, by examining the historical evolution, over the course of the Vedic period (1500-500 bce), of the tradition’s role within the community of brahmin poet-priests to which it belongs, though in a marginal position with respect to the three major Vedas. Next discussed is the ritual role of the Atharvavedic hymns: by analyzing the Vedic poet’s ideological representation of the power of the word, as well as the pragmatic context of the rites marked by violent rivalries among priests, the author argues that the oft-encountered application of Austinian performative theory is not suited to the ritual interpretation of Atharvavedic hymns. These are better understood from a rhetorical angle as elements of persuasive discourse, an approach which can account for the poetic complexity reached by some hymns. The second part of this thesis is a critical edition of the forty hymns that make up the third book of the Atharvavedic collection of hymns known as the Paippalādasaṁhitā, with a first translation into English and French, as well as a detailed commentary to each hymn

Im Fokus des vorgestellten Projektes steht die Untersuchung der Verwendung von zwei ägyptischen Kursivschriften in einem homogenen Textkorpus. Hierbei handelt es sich zum einen um Hieratisch, einer Kursivschrift, die etwa zeitgleich mit den Hieroglyphen im 3. Jtd. v. Chr. entstand und für Texte auf Papyrus verwendet wurde. Mit beiden Schriftarten wurde in der Regel dieselbe Phase der ägyptischen Sprache geschrieben. Zum anderen um Demotisch, einer um 650 v. Chr. entwickelten Kursivschrift, die ebenfalls für Texte auf Papyrus verwendet wurde, und eine historisch jüngere Sprachstufe beschreibt. Beide Schriftsysteme erscheinen nebeneinander in den vier magischen Papyri der sog. „Theban Magical Library“ aus dem 3. Jhd. n. Chr., die sich heute in London, Leiden und Paris befinden. Das zu untersuchende Textkorpus umfasst etwa 157 Einzeltexte, die sich auf mehr als 1700 Zeilen Text verteilen. Ein Großteil der Texte ist in demotischer Schrift und Grammatik geschrieben. Daneben finden sich einige Passagen in hieratischer, griechischer und in einer Zauberschrift. Auch sprachliche sind die Texte keineswegs homogen. Kürzere Passagen weisen häufig eine ältere Sprachstufe als das Demotische auf. Auch die Schriftart kann innerhalb eines Satzes, in einigen Fällen sogar innerhalb eines Wortes, wechseln. Die Gründe für die Verwendung von demotischer und hieratischer Schrift sind bisher nicht untersucht worden. Da die einzelnen Sprüche auf unterschiedliche Vorlagen aus verschiedenen Kulturkreisen zurückgehen, liegt der Schwerpunkt des Vorhabens auf der Untersuchung der Beziehung von Schriftart, Sprache oder Sprachstufe und Inhalt. Bisher wird in der Forschung davon ausgegangen, dass hieratische Schrift zur Schreibung von Götterbezeichnungen oder bestimmter Termini, bevorzugt also bei Passagen mit religiösem Inhalt Verwendung fand. Jüngere Überlegungen konnten jedoch zeigen, dass hieratische Schrift in einigen Fällen mit sprachlich altertümlichen Merkmalen einhergeht, wobei es sich wohl um die Reste eines Vorläufers handelt, der nicht vollständig in demotische Schrift und Sprache übertragenen wurde.
Um das Quellenmaterial adäquat zu untersuchen, ist eine genaue Analyse von Schrift, Sprache und Inhalt der Einzeltexte nötig. In einem ersten Schritt wird jeder Papyrus unabhängig von den anderen untersucht. Hierfür wird der Text in eine Excel-Tabelle aufgenommen. Jeder Eintrag wird mit verschiedenen Merkmalen versehen, die für die spätere Auswertung von Bedeutung sind. Die Texte werden in Hinblick auf die verwendete Schriftart, Sprachstufe, der zeitlichen Bezeugung eines Wortes oder grammatikalischen Konstruktion, Wortart, Herkunft (ägyptisch, griechisch, jüdisch etc.), Kontext (Vorkommen in Titeln, direkter Rede u. ä.) und, falls vorhanden, Anmerkungen des Schreibers analysiert. In einem ersten Schritt werden die Texte in ägyptologischer Umschrift in eine Exceltabelle eingetragen. Hierbei erhält jedes Wort einen Eintrag und wird mit den für die Analyse benötigten Merkmale versehen. Im Anschluss wird die Tabelle in eine mySQL Datenbank eingelesen. Diese wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. C. Riepl von der IT-Group Geisteswissenschaften der LMU München erstellt. Anhand dieser Datenbank erfolgt die Analyse der Texte.

Cette étude consiste à définir la création de l'artiste magicien comme un objet de droit et à chercher à la doter d'un régime spécifique dédié à sa protection. Le tour de magie doit son existence à la préservation de son secret. Or ce dernier est aujourd'hui menacé par les révélations qui en sont faites contre le gré du magicien. L'enjeu du travail entrepris réside dans la qualification juridique du tour et du numéro de magie, du processus intellectuel qui y conduit, et de la révélation du secret, entendue comme une atteinte spécifique - car immatérielle - portée au travail du magicien. A cette fin, les mécanismes classiques du droit d'auteur vont pouvoir être détournés de leur fonction habituelle pour embrasser la spécificité d'une oeuvre de l'esprit qui ne ressemble à aucune autre en raison de la dualité aspect apparent / aspect dissimulé qui la sous-tend. Au-delà de la recherche des sources legislatives adéquates, l'étude détaille l'ensemble des relations contractuelles qui se nouent autour de l'exploitation de l'oeuvre de magie ; elle montre aussi les difficultés qui naissent de ces rapports et la façon d'y remédier pour garantir à l'auteur magicien une meilleure défense de ses droitsThis thesis consists in defining the magician's creation as a legal object and seeking to equip it with a specific scheme to protect it. The magic trick owes its existence to the safeguarding of secrecy. Yet, today, such a secret is threatened by exposure against the magician' s will. This study situates the legal qualification of the magic trick and the magic act, the intellectual process that leads to it and the exposure of the secret understood to be a specific breach - since an immaterial breach- affecting the creative work of the magician. For that purpose, the classic copyright mechanisms must be used in a specific way in order to fit the particularities of a work of the mind that doesn't resemble any other due to the visible and invisible duality which underlies it. Beyond the research of the appopriate legislative sources, the study details the contractual relations which exist with regards to the exploitation of the "magic creative work" ; it also shows the difficulties that spring from such relations and how problems can be resolved in order to insure a better protection of the rights of the "author magician"

Este trabalho se propõe como um breve tratado sobre as relações entre os discursos vigentes da arte contemporânea e o pensamento mágico ocidental. No cruzamento entre o ensaio poético, a antropologia da arte, a estética e a bruxaria, desenha-se um círculo no qual se desenvolve a pesquisa sob o signo da \"besta\" acadêmica: a interdisciplinaridade. A partir disso, estudam-se uma série de projetos curatoriais recentes que lidam com magia, ocultismo, xamanismo ou animismo, prestando atenção aos preconceitos que se manifestam em alguns desses discursos curatoriais. Entretece-se esta reflexão com referências históricas que servem de marco explicativo para a queda em desgraça do pensamento mágico ocidental e, junto com ele, do status da imaginação e da imagem como formas de conhecimento. Uma vez definida a situação em que ficou esta tradição depois de sucessivas campanhas de desprestígio, introduzem- -se uma série de figuras que serviram depois à construção de uma nova (mas talvez sobretudo velha) teoria mágico-estética. Seguindo a esteira de pensadores contemporâneos ligados ao realismo especulativo e à ontologia objetual, o trabalho se reconecta com uma esquecida tradição mágico-estética (ocidental) não isenta de uma dimensão mítica e animista (ou vitalista, se se prefere). Faz-se questão de colocar a \"palavra do artista\" no mesmo nível que a \"palavra do filósofo\", mas evitando converter os artistas citados em objeto de pesquisa. O trabalho defende que existam - apesar dos séculos em que a elite intelectual ocidental vem predicando contra a possibilidade de uma ontologia mágico-estética - indíviduos e coletivos que desenvolvem sua atividade à margem dos preconceitos dicotômicos que hoje alguns pensadores acadêmicos de vanguarda se empenham, não sem dificuldades, em transcender. Nesse sentido, o trabalho argumenta que muitos artistas eram já materialistas vibrantes e realistas especulativos antes da valorização, em voga hoje, dessas correntes filosóficas.This work intends to be a brief treatise on the relations between contemporary art and western magical thinking. At the crossroads between poetic essay, anthropology of art, aesthetics and witchcraft, a circle is drawn under the sign of the academic \"beast\": interdisciplinarity. From this point of departure, we study a series of recent curatorial projects that deal with magic, occultism, shamanism or animism, paying close attention to the prejudices that surface in some of these curatorial discourses. This reflection is intertwined with historical references that serve as an explanatory framework for the fall of western magical thinking and, along with it, the loss of status of both imagination and image as respected sources of knowledge. After having defined the state of neglect this (magical) tradition was left in after successive smear campaigns, we introduce a series of figures that will serve to construct a new (but perhaps rather ancient) magical-aesthetic theory. Following the trail of contemporary thinkers linked to speculative realism and object-oriented ontology, the work reconnects with a forgotten magical-aesthetic (western) tradition with a mythical and animistic (or vitalist, if you prefer) dimension. We also emphasize the importance of put-ting the \"artist\'s word\" on the same level as the \"philosopher\'s word\", whilst at the same time carefully avoiding to turn the cited artists into an object of study. We claim that - in spite of the centuries in which the Western intellectual elite has been preaching against the possibility of a magical-aesthetic ontology - there are individuals and groups that are active in the margins of the dichotomous prejudices that today some avant-garde academic thinkers are trying to transcend with much difficulty. In this sense, the work argues that many artists were already vibrant materialists and speculative realists much before the new on-to-materialistic philosophical currents which are very much in vogue nowadays.

L’illusionnisme, ou prestidigitation, est magie simulée, mise en scène du surnaturel. Cette thèse dresse un panorama de cette discipline à la Renaissance selon deux généalogies. La première est technique et pratique. Elle se fonde sur la littérature antique des secrets et la magie naturelle, transmises jusqu’aux savants, ingénieurs, artisans, saltimbanques et philosophes naturels renaissants. Elle implique une esthétique spécifique du choc, de la merveille ou de l’attraction. Sa subtilité technique fascine. Basée sur l’ingenium, elle suppose un « double public » de profanes et d’initiés. Elle ouvre à une science spectaculaire, une technique ludique, se révèle un puissant outil pédagogique et un excellent remède à la mélancolie. La seconde généalogie concerne sa réception sociale. La théologie, la démonologie, la littérature et les beaux-arts se sont confrontés au bateleur et en ont fait un marqueur d’illusion. Figure symbolique utilisée par les prédicateurs ou les polémistes, il prend place au cœur des débats sur la nature des actions diaboliques, la puissance du signe ou la transsubstantiation. Faisant du diable le suprême bateleur, la démonologie condamne généralement en retour le « prestigiateur » et ses illusions. A la croisée de ces deux généalogies, Reginald Scot, protestant, démonologue et premier pédagogue de la prestidigitation, en fait l’instrument de la critique sceptique la plus radicale, dédiabolisant les phénomènes surnaturels. Finalement, l’illusionnisme, véritable objet de savoir transverse à tous les champs, permet de jeter un autre regard sur la technique à la RenaissanceIllusionism, conjuring art or legerdemain, is simulated magic, staging the supernatural. This thesis provides a global picture of this discipline during the Renaissance period, following two genealogies. The first is technical and practical. It is based on the ancient books of secrets and natural magic, transmitted to scholars, engineers, craftsmen, mountebanks and natural philosophers of the Renaissance periode. It involves a specific aesthetic of shock, wonder or attraction. Its technical subtlety fascinates. Based on ingenium, it assumes a "dual public" of laymen and initiates. It opens to spectacular science and playful technique. It is a powerful teaching tool and an excellent remedy for melancholy. The second genealogy deals with its social reception. Theology, demonology, literature, and the fine arts faced the juggler and made it an illusion sign. This symbol is used by preachers or polemists and takes place at the heart of debates on the nature of devil actions, the power of the sign, or transubstantiation reality. Making the devil the supreme juggler, demonology generally condemns in return the praestigiator and his illusions. Merging these two genealogies, Reginald Scot, Protestant, demonologist and first pedagogue of legerdemain, makes it the instrument of the most radical skeptical criticism, de-demonizing supernatural phenomena. Finally, illusionism is a true object of knowledge, transverse to all the fields, giving a new insight on the Renaissance period technique
