Hussein, Ersin. "Power and identity in Roman Cyprus". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2014. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/66671/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis explores individual and collective identities and experiences of Roman power by considering the roles of insiders (Cypriots) and outsiders (non Cypriots). Chapter one presents the history of scholarship on Roman Cyprus and considers the impact of previous studies, shaped by the model of Romanisation, on studies of Roman Cyprus today. Chapter two examines the Roman annexation and administration of Cyprus in order to contextualise later analysis of Cypriot experiences of, and reactions to, Rome. This chapter also re-considers evidence for the proconsuls of Roman Cyprus from 58 BC to the mid fourth century AD. Chapter three explores how Roman citizens and high profile visitors from outside the island, along with locally enfranchised elites, expressed their identity in public monuments. For comparison, the monuments of individuals who did not obtain citizenship are briefly considered. Chapter four investigates collective power and identity by turning to the poleis of Roman Cyprus. Central to this investigation is the exploration of the construction of civic identity in the Roman period. Evidence for the use of mythology, particularly foundation myths, and local religious practices are considered in the study of each polis. Chapter five considers the overall identity of Roman Cyprus first by examining evidence for the representation of individuals and the poleis of Cyprus in monuments outside the island. Next, this chapter examines the activities and monuments of the koinon of Cyprus. The final chapter ties together the evidence for individual and collective identities explored in chapters two to five to summarise how Roman power was experienced in Cyprus and what identities emerged in response. Finally, this chapter considers what elements comprised the identities expressed under Roman rule and whether there was a particular quality that could be considered as exclusively 'Cypriot' under Rome.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis' case studies examine the critical roles played by personal power and private armies in the late Roman empire. Chapter 1 examines alleged military corruption in fourth-century C.E. north Africa, arguing that the imperial government's power under the Dominate was diffused among competing interest groups within Roman society, whose interests were not always conducive to the security of the empire as a whole. Chapter 2 argues that bandit-ridden Isauria in Asia Minor was apparently successfully integrated into the imperial system, yet relied heavily on local personal power to control its violence-prone population. Chapter 3 argues that Roman pursuit of private or factional power sealed Rome's loss of the Gallic provinces in the fifth century. Together, these three case studies argue that the later Roman empire was significantly influenced by internal divisions and private power, which were just as important as foreign, 'barbarian' influences in determining the empire's fate.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Julius Caesar’s rise to power was achieved through a combination of different sources of power. These ‘portfolios of power’ were money and connections, oratory, and religion, and they worked either in conjunction or separately throughout Caesar’s life to further his career. Each portfolio served multiple functions. For instance, connections were used to advocate on his behalf when needed, money was utilised to create financial dependency (i.e. loaning to potential allies), rhetoric was applied to promote himself, while religion was used to assert his hegemony over the Gauls. It was indeed his cultivation and expansion of these diverse portfolios that led to his eventual supremacy over the Roman world. One asset alone would not have sufficed during the various challenges throughout his career. Furthermore, it was his diverse portfolios of power that set him apart from other Roman politicians. For example, Cicero and Pompeius, each relied chiefly on one portfolio to acquire power, oratory for Cicero and military prowess for Pompeius. The extent to which Caesar sought to be sole ruler is debatable, but we can say with confidence that throughout his career, he had clear goals and developed strategies to achieve them.

How and why was imperial power made visually and physically manifest in two similar, contemporaneous megastates - the Roman Principate and Qin-Han China? Framing the Chinese and Roman material within such a question breaks it free from the web of expectations and assumptions in which conventional scholarship almost always situates it. It also builds upon the limited but promising work recently undertaken to study these two empires together in a comparative context. The purpose of this thesis is not to discover similarities and differences for their own sake; but, by discovering similarities and differences, to learn about the nature of imperial authority and prestige in each state. The comparative method compels us to appreciate the contingent - and sometimes frankly curious - nature of visual and artefactual phenomena that have traditionally been taken for granted; and both challenges and empowers us to access higher tier explanations and narratives. Roman expressions of power in visual terms are more public, more historical- biographical, and more political, while Qin-Han images and objects related to imperial authority are generally more private, generic and ritual in their nature. The Roman material emphasizes the notional complicity of large groups of people - the imperial subjects who viewed, crafted and often commissioned these works - in maintaining and defining the emperor's power. If the Han emperor's power was the product of complicity, it was the complicity of a small group of family members and courtiers - and of Heaven. These contrasting sets of power relationships connect to a concerted thematic focus, in the case of Rome, on the individual of the princeps; that is, the individual personage and particular achievements - especially military achievements - of the emperor. This focus is almost always taken for granted in Roman studies, but contrasts profoundly with the thematic disposition of Han artefacts of power: these reflect a concentrated disinterest in imperial personality altogether, emphasizing instead the imperial position; that is, both the office of emperor and a cosmic centrality. While this thesis reveals some arresting contrasts, it also harnesses the dichotomous orientations of Roman and Chinese archaeology to reveal that the conventional understanding of much of this material can be misleading or problematic. Many of the differences in the ways such images are usually interpreted have as much to do with the idiosyncrasies and path dependency of two fields - in short as much to do with the modern viewer - as they do with the images themselves and the traditions that produced them.

Dodd, Leslie. "Power, the episcopacy and elite culture in the post-Roman Rhone Valley". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2007. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7961/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis discusses a number of issues related to the relationship between Gallo-Roman aristocrats and political power in Gaul during the fifth and sixth centuries. The first chapter opens with a discussion of classical literary culture and its role in defining and maintaining elite status in the later Roman empire while the second discusses epistolary literature specifically and the function of letter-writing in the period when Roman political power was fading and barbarian authority was only beginning to assert itself in Gaul. I show how individuals like Sidonius clung, in a world that was swiftly becoming entirely post-Roman, to a Roman cultural and political identity, while others, such as Syagrius, embraced the opportunities afforded by the barbarian regna. In my third chapter, I consider the growth of the ecclesiastical aristocracy and examine the ways in which those Gallo-Romans who entered the church redefined their position, creating, in the process, new criteria for the definition and expression of romanitas and nobilitas. I examine, in particular, the growth of aristocratic asceticism as a means for Roman nobles to gain new relevance and credibility in Gaul without having to enter barbarian service. I move on, in my fourth chapter, to examine the part played by aristocratic kinship in Episcopal elections in fifth and sixth century Gaul. In the fifth chapter I argue that Gallic bishops of the period were rarely interested in complex theology - or evangelism - and that modern expectations in this respect are at odds with the extant evidence. In this context, I look particularly at the famous monastery of Lérins, which is usually held to have been a great school of theology and centre of religious thought. Not only was Lérins not a theological centre, in fact very few bishops had any interest in theology. In each of the remaining four chapters, I examine some facet of the life and career of Caesarius of Arles whose career and attitudes not only represent an acute departure from the Episcopal aristocrat norm but also actually swept away much of the extant Episcopal culture and established the pattern for following bishops.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Au Congo Brazzaville s'est développé, depuis les Trois Glorieuses (13, 14 et 15 août 1963), un espace littéraire très créatif. La plupart de ses écrivains, et particulièrement les romanciers, sont (ont été) engagés, à des titres et à des niveaux divers, dans la vie politique effective de leur pays. Une approche sociocritique des romans congolais à partir des microlectures, dans une perspective intertextuelle, fait émerger la politique comme un moule structurateur de la plupart des fictions. L'analyse du contexte du roman congolais à thématique politique en révèle des particularités (1ère partie). Cette contextualisation permet de comprendre pourquoi le référent politique est si envahissant dans la fiction romanesque congolaise. La thématisation de la politique (2ème partie) comme sujet, motif ou topos permet une meilleure appréhension des univers imaginaires. La représentation des indépendances, des révolutions et de la vie sociale éclaire les complexes rapports entre le scribe et le prince. Les personnages des fictions se positionnent par rapport aux pouvoirs institués comme des révoltés, des révolutionnaires ou des collaborateurs. En général, ils dénoncent le vécu quotidien dans la dissidence et le refus du statu quo. Toute une rhétorique du politique ressort du traitement que les auteurs font de ce dernier (3èmepartie), et met en évidence une politique de l'écriture, à savoir des stratégies d'expression des univers politiques. Sont ainsi utilisés: le masquage par l'anthroponymie et la toponymie, le surgissement d'univers étranges (magique, merveilleux, carnavalesque, onirique, etc.) dans la trame narrative, ainsi que le recours à un langage crypté. Les postures pour dire le politique varient selon les écrivains. Qu'ils participent au pouvoir ou non, et du fait de leurs appartenance à la phratrie, tous se retrouvent en Congolie, contrée imaginaire libérée, et déclarent leurs « rêves du changement », ou leur aspirations à un mieux vivre ensemble, rendu de façon originale par Henri Djombo dans Lumières des temps perdus. Les fictions s'interrogent sur le politique, mais aussi et surtout sur l'acte d'écrire et sa finalité. Les textes posent ainsi une large problématique : la rencontre des champs politique et littéraire, la difficulté de l'écrivain à dire la politique en pays de dictature, ou le statut des valeursIn Congo Brazzaville, beginning from the Three Glorious 13th, 14th and 15th August 1963, there developed a very creative literary space. Most of its writers, especially as concerns the novelists, are (have been) committed, by titles and diverse levels, to the political life of their country. From a socio-critical perspective of Congolese novels using micro-lectures, from an intertextual perspective, brings out politics as a structuring mould for most fiction. An analysis of the context of the Congolese novel, with politics as a thematic concern reveals a number of particularities (Part 1). Putting things to context in this manner allows for understanding why the political referent permeates romanistic Congolese fiction. Thematizing politics (Part 2), as subject, motive or topos allows for a better understanding of imaginary universes. The representation of independences, of revolutions and of social life brings light to the complex relationships between the scribe and the prince. Characters in fictions position themselves in revolt to institutionalized powers, as revolutionaries or as collaborators. Generally, they denounce the day to day experience in dissidence and reject the status quo. An entire political rhetoric springs forth from the treatment which the authors give to the latter (Part 3) and establishes a writing policy, namely, strategies of political expression. Here employed are: masking by anthroponomy and toponymy, the cropping up of strange universes, (magic, the sublime, carnival, imaginary, etc) in the plot as well as making use of crypt language. Postures of political expression differ with writers. Whether they participate in power or not, and from the fact of their belonging to the phratry, all find themselves in Congolie, the imaginary liberated territory and declare their « Dream for Change » or their aspirations to a better communal life, rendered in an original manner by Henri Djombo in Lumières des temps perdus. The fictions dwell on politics, but also, and especially on the act of writing and its finality. In this wise, the texts pose a large statement of the problem: the meeting of political and literary spheres, the difficulty of the writer to express political issues in a dictator nation or the statutes of values

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the ways in which the Magna Mater became an integral part of Augustan ideology and the visual language of the early principate. Traditionally, our picture of the Augustan Magna Mater has been shaped by evidence from literary sources. Here, however, the monuments of the goddess' cult are considered in their religio-political context. Works that link Augustus himself to the Magna Mater are shown to reveal that the goddess played a significant and hitherto unappreciated role in official propaganda. Part I examines the nature of the Augustan reconstruction of the Palatine Temple of the Magna Mater and challenges persistent claims that the princeps was disinterested in the metroac cult. Augustus' use of inexpensive building materials is shown to be, not a display of parsimony, but an attempt to retain the traditional appearance of a venerable structure. A reinterpretation of the temple's pedimental and acroterial sculpture, using the Valle-Medici reliefs, demonstrates that Augustus promoted the Magna Mater as an allegory of Rome's Trojan heritage and as a symbol of a new Golden Age. Part II investigates the topography of the Augustan precinct on the Palatine, and argues that the geographic linkage of the metroön and the House of Augustus became a topos in imperial imagery. It then demonstrates that several well-known works of art echo this connection between the princeps and the goddess. These works range from statues in the Circus Maximus designed to be viewed by thousands, to the Gemma Augustea, a luxury item intended for the elite. They are also found both inside and outside Rome. A reassessment of the Vicus Sandaliarius altar and the Sorrento base illustrates popular recognition of Augustus' reinvention of the Magna Mater as a national deity of Rome and the tutelary goddess of the Julio-Claudii.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the changes forced upon the Roman elite in the evolving political climate of Ostrogothic Italy. It examines what mechanisms the Roman elite employed to renegotiate their position of influence within the state. The relationship the elite had with the past provides evidence for wider changes in society. I assert that, using the language and landscape of the past, the elite formed discourses which responded to, and which attempted to facilitate a realignment in, a changing environment. The education system still provided the Roman elite with a mechanism through which they could define themselves and prepare for what they considered to be the important aspects of the world outside the classroom. Religious discussions and debate in the post-imperial Italy of Late Antiquity were increasingly directed toward attempts to reunite the fractured Roman Empire through a unified empire of Orthodox faith. Having such a close relationship with the Roman Empire and its political and philosophical culture, education and religion are particularly suitable fields to reflect the changes to the political map of the Roman Empire. Focusing on the elite’s relationship with education and religion, this thesis will uncover examples of continuity and change which are implied by the construction of, and interaction with, discourses designed to facilitate the elite’s renegotiation strategies. Reconstructing the education of prominent members of the elite from their writings provides the evidence for such discourses. The emphasis on this part of the thesis is on discovering how the discourses circulating in relation to education responded to the political and philosophical problems through the language of the past and what these responses tell us about changes in the present. The religious discussion focuses on the attempts of the opinion formers in Italy to create and direct narratives designed to establish the superiority of one religious world-view over another. An examination of the language of tradition in the construction of these narratives provides evidence for the potency of the past in the decision-making process and ideology- forming strategies of the Roman elite. It also provides evidence for the changes in society to which the strategies were responding. A final-chapter case study provides an opportunity to see evidence of the effectiveness of these discourse-forming strategies. In this chapter we see a contemporary historical source interacting with those narratives and discourses we witnessed the elite employing in the education and religion chapters. It also provides an opportunity to see how the past is used to justify the actions of the Roman elite in Ostrogothic Italy to a post-Gothic audience (as the work was composed in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Ostrogothic Italy). This final consideration provides an instructive contrast which brings into sharp focus the extent and nature of continuity and change brought about by the Ostrogothic state.

In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups. The Aeduans and Lingons inhabited a strategic crossroads region in what is now Burgundy and Champagne, and between ca. 460-534 passed from Roman to barbarian rule – first under the Burgundians and then under the Merovingian Franks.
Close prosopographical study of the written sources and distribution-analysis of material sources – coins and ceramics – illuminate the region’s experience of the end of Empire. An unprecedented study of the distribution of Burgundian coins found in France revises the consensus model for the movement of gold coins across the post-Roman West. The dissertation’s multiple independent types of evidence reveal and mutually corroborate previously unrecognized communication patterns in late antique eastern Gaul. During the fifth and sixth centuries, Aeduan and Lingon communication horizons contracted sharply but unevenly. To the northwest, where Burgundians and Franks faced off across a sometimes-tense border, traditional socio-economic ties withered almost completely, only to resume after the Frankish conquests of the 530s. To the south, however, throughout the fifth and sixth centuries, Aeduans and Lingons more easily forged long-range connections across a different but also frequently hostile political border, with the Goths.
The struggles of violent kings, then, could decisively reshape communication networks, but did not always do so. To explain the importance of politics relative to other influences – social, economic, and environmental – the dissertation turns to social gravity and network analysis theories. The study culminates in a multi-scalar model for the complex and dynamic communications of late antique Gaul. That interdisciplinary approach models new methodological possibilities for explaining pre-modern communication history.History

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Alcibiades was one of the most dynamic and engaging figures of the Peloponnesian War. Like a chameleon, he managed to change himself to fit almost any occasion and audience; few historical figures can claim to have successfully switched allegiances as many times during a conflict. Starting as a general in Athens, he moved on to side with the Spartans, then the Persians, and then returned to Athens. Some would consider him a young and impulsive egoist, but a closer investigation indicates that he more than likely had a larger, pragmatic goal motivating his actions. This essay will aim first to establish his break from the philosophical status quo of Athens, and then to determine the nature of these larger goals. It will pivot around Alcibiades’ address to the Athenian assembly, using it in a comparative analysis of both Pericles’ Funeral Oration, and briefly supplementing it with Plato’s Alcibiades I.

This inter-disciplinary thesis traces the influence of Greek images of monarchy on Rome, between 323 B. C. and A. D. 14. The first chapter examines the evidence for Greek perceptions of kings, tyrants, good citizens and ideal rulers in the fourth century B. C. The second chapter considers some developments in political theory during the Hellenistic period, and the practice of Hellenistic kingship. The visual media used for representing Hellenistic monarchy are discussed. The first section of the third chapter reviews the evidence for the points of contact between Romans of the Republican era, and the monarchs, artworks and political thought of the Greek world. A second section analyses the evidence both for the evolution of Roman attitudes towards monarchs and monarchy, over this period of interaction, and changes in Roman political and military leadership. The conventional notion that Romans had been consistently hostile to kings since the fall of Tarquinius Superbus is questioned. The increasing resort to proven individuals (e. g. Pompey) for solving domestic and external crises is documented. The final section of this chapter charts developments in the positive representation of Republican leaders in both rhetoric and art, including favourable portrayals of both Caesar and Octavian. It is suggested that the transformation of Roman thought and practice, under Greek influence, facilitated the successful establishment of a monarchical regime after Actium. The creation of the Augustan dynasty is documented in the final chapter. In addition, ideals of leadership, and Augustan ideas about war, peace and empire, are discussed. A chronological treatment of the contemporary (visual and textual) evidence suggests the heterogeneity of Augustus' principate. New identifications are proposed for certain figures in the 'procession friezes' of the Ara Pacis Augustae.

This thesis presents results of the research on the Christian glossolalia phenomenon in the first century from the First Epistle to the Corinthians (1Cor 12,12-26), having as focal point of analysis the relation between social status, charisma and relations of power. The data were analyzed under the prism of Conflict Analysis, using the instruments of bibliographic and exegetical research. This work is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, it is discussed the history of the Roman Empire and the city of Corinth, trying to indicate the points of connection between them and how it, as an imperial colony, reproduced the values and social structures of Rome. In the second chapter, it is discussed the Christian church in Corinth, explaining the historical context of its origin, its ethnic, economic and social composition. Finally, in the third chapter, it is defended the idea that the glossolalia phenomenon was a symbol of power, in which part of the religious agents that belonged to the church, who had high status in Corinthian society, aligned themselves with the values and the social structure of the Roman Empire.
Esta Tese apresenta resultados da pesquisa sobre o fenômeno glossolálico cristão no primeiro século a partir da Primeira Epístola aos Coríntios (1Cor 12,12-26), tendo como ponto focal de análise a relação entre status social, carisma e relações de poder. Os dados foram analisados sob o prisma da Análise Conflitual, utilizando instrumentos da pesquisa bibliográfica e exegética. O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, discorre-se sobre a história do Império Romano e da cidade de Corinto, procurando indicar os pontos de conexões entre eles e de que forma esta, como colônia imperial, reproduzia os valores e estruturas sociais de Roma. No segundo capítulo, disserta-se sobre a igreja cristã em Corinto, explicitando o contexto histórico de sua origem, sua composição étnica, econômica e social. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, defende-se a ideia de que o fenômeno glossolálico era um símbolo de poder, no qual parte dos agentes religiosos pertencentes à igreja, os quais possuíam status elevado na sociedade coríntia, se alinhavam aos valores e à estrutura social do Império Romano.

This study proposes that the design of Mark's Gospel is best appreciated by recognising the particular political, social and religious situation that gave rise it, and by taking into account the concerns, experiences and emotions of both the author and the intended readers. It is argued that proposals for an Eastern provenance lack evidence and plausibility, and that the Gospel was written in Rome. The time of writing is identified as the latter months of 71, as the Gospel contains a number of indications that the Jerusalem Temple had been destroyed and that the Triumph of Vespasian and Titus in July/August 71 had recently occurred. Moreover, there are several allusions to events that had occurred within a year or two prior to that date. An investigation of the political and social situation shows that Christians had reason to be fearful, especially after the return of Titus. Through an examination of the rhetorical techniques contained within the text, it is proposed that the Gospel was a response to the protracted suffering of the Christians of Rome, addressing their doubts about God in the face of Roman power, their fear of further executions, and stresses within the community caused by apostasy and betrayal. Paying close attention to the mood of the text, an analysis of Mark's rhetoric shows how it responds to the readers' anxieties (including fear of delation), counters Flavian propaganda, and provides hope and strength. As appeals to the emotions were regarded as a key tool of ancient rhetoric, careful attention is paid to their use throughout the Gospel, showing that Mark produced a text full of pathos, matching the highly stressful atmosphere, and placing the readers' cries for help and prayers into the mouths of characters. In repeatedly stirring the readers' emotions by reminding them of their own painful experiences and by alluding to contemporary events and social attitudes, Mark explains why they are persecuted, and helps them to deal with their fear. He portrays Jesus as the one who had led the way by accepting martyrdom for the gospel in similar circumstances. He shapes many scenes to remind them of their Roman situation, especially the trials and executions of fellow Christians. Mark's rhetorical use of the disciples is also explored, showing that he aimed to elicit sympathy for those who had failed under pressure, which indicates that he was advocating their readmittance into the community. It is proposed that reading the Gospel as rhetoric addressed to this situation provides a quite different view of its nature, design and purposes, and gives a very different perspective to a number of debated issues within Markan scholarship.

Upon being announced as one of the winners of the 1973 National Book Award, John Williams’ novel Augustus (1972) was classified as a book of a supposedly more traditional form compared to John Barth’s experimental work Chimera (1972) that Augustus shared the prize with that year. This essay will examine John Williams’ novel Augustus, with the purpose of analysing two of the novel’s main characters, Augustus and his daughter Julia. To define both of the characters, this essay will be looking in-depth into how Williams showcases the various ways both characters go about using the power that is bestowed upon them. This essay will be employing Fredric Jameson’s Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991) to establish the environment of nihilism present in the Roman Empire that nears the “waning of affect” and exhaustion Jameson states occurs with the coming of postmodernism. Ferdinand de Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics (1916) will be placed in dialogue with Luce Irigaray’s Speculum of the Other Woman (1974) to showcase the varying masculine and feminine practices of language both characters employ and the consequences these forms of expression bring with the duplicitous ways of the Roman Empire looming in the background behind both Augustus and Julia.

Roman emperors came to power through a hybrid dynastic/elective selection system that was never formally codified. This lack of codification has caused problems for modern scholars looking to identify and categorize those who were involved in selecting the next Roman emperor. This thesis believes that these problems exist because scholars are not distinguishing the names of key ancient institutions from the underlying types of power which backed their capability for action. This thesis seeks to solve this problem by creating a categorization system for imperial accessions based around a basic unit called the “political interest.” At its core, a political interest is a combination of the name of the individual or group as listed in the primary sources, the different types of power they possessed, and the level of decision-making authority they wielded during an imperial selection. Using this system, this thesis creates a database of Late Roman emperors with information on when they came to power, the various stages of their accessions, what political interests supported them, and where these interests were located. This thesis then analyzes the political and geographic trends from the database and supplies provisional explanations as to why changes in the Late Roman accession process occurred.

O objetivo da presente dissertação é investigar um conjunto de pequenos fragmentos de papiros alexandrinos nomeado Acta Alexandrinorum. Os escritos narram episódios referentes à Alexandria nos dois primeiros séculos de Império Romano. Foram, no entanto, encontrados em diferentes locais do Egito, fato que sugere uma moderada circulação dos escritos na região. A hipótese é que um estruturado e coeso grupo de cidadãos alexandrinos do Ginásio, de ascendência grega e origem nobre, utilizaram-se dos escritos para manifestar suas insatisfações ao poder imperial. Pretendiam, com os relatos, criar um clima de resistência aos romanos e, ao mesmo tempo, exaltar a importância de Alexandria naquele universo, delimitando também uma identidade alexandrina restrita aos seus elementos de maior distinção. E mais: desejavam marcar a indignação quanto aos vizinhos judeus, que estariam ameaçando alguns direitos antes restritos ao grupo. Através dos textos, pode-se analisar como a romanização foi recebida e entendida pelos alexandrinos. Além disso, a documentação lança luz sobre elementos diversos da vida cívica e social da cidade e nos permite avaliar a sua importância no contexto imperial.The aim of this dissertation is to investigate a group of small Alexandrian fragments of papyrus named Acta Alexandrinorum. The texts narrate episodes concerning Alexandria in the two first centuries of Roman Empire. But they were found in different places of Egypt, fact that suggests a moderate circulation of the writings in the region. The hypothesis is that a structured and limited group of Alexandrian citizens from the gymnasium, of Greek ascendance and noble birth, would use the writings to express their feelings of dissatisfaction to the Imperial power. They intended, with the accounts, to create an atmosphere of resistance to the Romans, and at the same time, to exalt the importance of Alexandria in that universe and also, to delimit an Alexandrian identity that should be restricted to their elements of higher distinction. Besides that, they also longed to emphasize the indignation to their Jewish neighbors, which were 8 threatening some rights that were before limited to their group. Through the texts, we can analyze how Romanization was received and understood by the Alexandrians. Besides that, the documents illustrate several elements of the civic and social life of the city and help to evaluate its importance in the imperial context.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines warfare, social power, and the state in central Italy for the period between 900 and 343 BC.1 The goal of this research is to better understand how warfare fit into the dialogue of social power in Etruria and Rome. This is achieved through the fulfilment of a number of aims. The first is to understand the patterns of warfare present in central Italy, as these can help us better understand the social aspects of conflict in the region. The project assumes that the practice of warfare is important for understanding its role in this dialogue, and thus an analysis of arms, armour, and tactics is also necessary. The second aim is to understand how warfare and politics affected one another. The condottieri paradigm is challenged and the strength of central Italian states asserted. The third aim is to explain the interaction between warfare and economic power, and the interaction between these two aspects of social power. The fourth aim is similar, and analyzes the connections that are visible between warfare and religion. Through these aims, this project creates a clearer picture of warfare in Etruria and Rome from the Iron Age to the Archaic Period. It argues that the exchange and dialogue of social power was not alienated from the state, and that independent warfare would have been of less value than it was probably worth. To this end, the Servian Constitution is re-examined and the idea of an early Roman hoplite phalanx, and single class army, is rejected. The original contribution of this work is in reasserting the position of the state in Tyrrhenian warfare and rejecting the idea that private interest was more powerful.

This dissertation investigates how the category of gender difference was mobilised as a practice of power at the early modern court. It argues that gender was not simply a relational category affecting who could participate in early modern politics in what ways, but that it constituted a crucial and active resource of dynastic power. This subject of study is opened up through a case study of the court of Württemberg in the subsequent reigns of Dukes Friedrich I and his son Johann Friedrich, which span the period of time from 1593 to 1628. The reign of Duke Friedrich I was a time of political reform, which saw the influence of the local estates curtailed and an extroverted foreign policy pursued, whilst the duke concurrently entertained several extramarital affairs in contention with Lutheranism’s prescriptions. His son Johann Friedrich clearly took exception to his father's lifestyle, since, at Friedrich's premature death in 1608, he imprisoned a number of his father's mistresses and procuresses. He was forced to let the majority of these women go again quite quickly, keeping only one suspected procuress in custody, whose case was to drag on until 1618. Johann Friedrich's mother Duchess Sibylla, who had borne fifteen children to Friedrich and thus became the Stammesmutter of a new Württemberg dynastic line, was involved in these dealings. The contrast of these two differently structured approaches to rulership allows for the investigation of the power dynamics of monogamy and polygamy in one coherent case study. Württemberg is an interesting location for this research since it was a large and important territory of southern Germany, which came to be deeply involved in Protestant resistance in the worsening religious strife leading up to the Thirty Years’ War. Documents ranging from court ordinances, festival descriptions and servants registers, to courtly correspondences, juridical supplications and declarations have been consulted. This broad range of primary sources facilitates the investigation of the salience of gender difference both in the context of a courtly system heading a polity, as well as on the level of individual actors whose personhood was intricately entwined with their gendered identities. It is argued here that it is imperative to avoid a fragmentation within court studies into gender and women’s history on the one side and political approaches on the other, in order to maximise our understanding of the practice of power located at early modern courts. Gender difference complicated and further differentiated courtly status hierarchies and lent flexibility to increasingly rigid sets of dynastic rules about reproduction, succession, and etiquette, which had a beneficial impact on the longevity of the dynastic system.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Architecture has a remarkable capacity to not only reflect social patterns and behaviors but to engender public image and identity. Therefore, it has proven to be a viable source for understanding the lives of ancient people. In fact, many scholars have established a connection between the atrium-house's design and the power and social identity of the paterfamilias, or male head of household. However, little has been said about what these same architectural features mean in relation to his female counterpart, the materfamilias. Therefore, this paper argues that the architecture of the atrium-house likewise engendered a sense of power and freedom for the Roman matron in two main ways. First, the atrium-house was considered in many ways a continuation of the public realm, and was thus structured to be open and outward instead of inward and private. In addition, archaeological and other evidence suggests that the atrium-house lacked gendered divisions and therefore allowed the matron to freely utilize even the most public areas of the home. Second, just as the paterfamilias was able to use the visual dynamics of the atrium-house to manipulate his public image and to glean authority, so also did the materfamilias use the tactics of visibility to assume masculine power. As a result, the architecture of the atrium-house helped to structure the social identity of the materfamilias in promoting her power and influence in both family and social life.

La construction des personnages et de représentations du pouvoir, ainsi que la mise en place d’une écriture métafictionnelle dans sept romans mexicains publiés dans les années 90 sont les thèmes centraux de cette étude. Pour notre analyse de El disparo de argón, Huatulqueños, La lotería de San Jorge, Una de dos, Salón de belleza, Un asesino solitario et En busca de Klingsor, nous nous sommes inspiré des théories de Roland Barthes et de Philippe Hamon concernant l’étude sémiologique des personnages, ainsi que des modes de représentation narrative décrits par Gérard Genette. Nous sommes également parti des idées ce même auteur sur l’écriture métafictionnelle, ainsi que des travaux de Linda Hutcheon et de Patricia Waugh sur la question. Notre analyse montre que narrateurs, personnages et décors sont construits à l’aide de figures telles que l’hyperbole ou la comparaison. Le paysage peut agir comme un personnage de plus, et engendrer des espaces métaphysiques reflétant l’histoire. Pour ce qui est du rapport au pouvoir, l’on distinguera deux types de personnages : des êtres vulnérables, d’une part, possédant le pouvoir de manière éphémère ; et des puissances invisibles et inhumaines, de l’autre, surveillant et régissant les destinées des personnages. Tandis que les premiers partagent des caractéristiques physiques et des comportements plus ou moins similaires, les puissances invisibles correspondent à des figures telles que le Destin, le Hasard, Dieu ou encore le Diable. Les représentations du pouvoir remplissent toutes une même série de fonctions. Chacun des sept romans envisagés par cette étude déploie des moyens visant à souligner la nature réflexive de l’écriture chez le narrateur. L’analyse des mises en abyme, des métalepses et de la transtextualité au sein du récit permet de mettre au jour et d’évaluer de manière systématique la présence effective de la métafictionThis essay presents an analysis of the construction of characters, the representations of power and the development of metafictional writing through a discussion of seven Mexican novels published in the nineties. The essay utilizes the theoretical advances of Roland Barthes and Philippe Hamon in regards to semiological analysis of characters and Gérard Genette’s modes of narrative representation to analyze El disparo de argón, Huatulqueños, La lotería de San Jorge, Una de dos, Salón de belleza, Un asesino solitario y En busca de Klingsor. Metafictional writing was looked at using the theoretical lens of not only Genette, but also Linda Hutcheon and Patricia Waugh. In conclusion, narrators, characters and setting are constructed by means of techniques like hyperbole or comparison. In addition, landscape comes to function as another character in the story, creating a metaphysical space that reflects history. When speaking of power, there are two identifiable types of characters: vulnerable creatures with an ephemeral authority and invisible, inhumane powers that patrol and decide characters’ destinies. The first group eventually acquires the same physical characteristics and attitudes, while the invisible powers correspond to figures like Fate, Chance, God or the Devil. The representations of power fulfill a series of similar roles. Each of the seven novels studied in this essay uses techniques which emphasize the narrator’s own awareness of the act of writing. The analysis of the mise en abyme, metalepsis and transtextuality in the narrative allows for a systematic determination and evaluation of the effectiveness of metafiction

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
La représentation du pouvoir dictatorial se perpetue dans les textes des auteurs africains francophones depuis la publication du roman Les Soleils des indépendances d’Ahmadou Kourouma, en 1968. Le sujet se décline pendant une vingtaine d’années selon les coordonnées d’un mal moral radical. De quoi relève ce choix thématique? Comment définir son impact sur l’écriture, de 1968 et à nos jours ? Le langage narratif des récits se construit autour de cheminements similaires racontant la naissance et les périples sanglants des figures de l’autorité. Il nous reste alors à interroger les territoires d’où elles surgissent, les valences mythiques qu’elles remettent en question et, enfin, le discours éclaté jusqu’à l’incohérence qui les définit. Il est question de saisir, dans le cadre d’une démarche critique interprétative, la dynamique de la représentation du pouvoir politique perçu comme une maladie de l’esprit illustrée d’abord dans sa prolifération, ensuite dans son acmé et, enfin, dans une rémission ambiguë. Le passage de l’élément réel dans le texte littéraire s’effectue à travers les mises en perspective de l’autorité étatique et l’exploitation d’un imaginaire subversif qui se donnent à lire comme espace de liberté. Cette recherche retrace ainsi le parcours artistique d’une quête de la guérisonThe representation of dictatorial power has become a recurrent theme in the works of Francophone African writers ever since Ahmadou Kourouma published his novel The Suns of Independence in 1968. Over the last twenty years the theme has revolved around the ramifications of a radical moral evil. Where does this thematic choice stem from? How does one define its impact on the writings from 1968 to the present-day? One notices that the narratives retrace the same paths portraying the birth and the murderous journeys of the African figure of authority. This dissertation examines, firstly, the dictators’ genetic territories, secondly, the mythical valences that they call into question, and lastly, their broken discourse and the incoherencies defining them. This is an attempt at capturing, through the use of the interpretative critical approach, the dynamics of political power perceived as a mental disease illustrated at first, through its proliferation, then its peak, and lastly, its ambiguous remission. The advent of the historical element in the literary text is accomplished by putting state authority into perspective and by using subversive imagination, which become, in the end, a space of liberty. This dissertation traces, therefore, the artistic itinerary of a quest for healing

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This dissertation offers a comparative cross-cultural investigation into the imagination of space in three sibling centers of civilization driving the formative expansion of Europe in the early Middle Ages: the Frankish court, the papacy and Byzantium. At its center stands the Slavic world of eastern Europe, which in the eighth and ninth centuries attracted the expansive energies of a young Carolingian empire, a newly aggressive papacy and a resurgent Byzantine Empire. A close reading of Latin, Greek and Church Slavonic records reveals three models of imagining space, and three ways of conceptualizing power.
Frankish authors at the courts of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious represented areas of the world under Frankish power as territories, and areas beyond Frankish reach as ethnicities. Their "imagined territoriality" of power included the Slavic world at those times and in those places when and where Frankish imperial reach was possible. At the same time, and especially in moments of crisis, court authors represented Frankish space as a heterogeneous network of nodes of landed wealth. This complex Frankish imagination of space was ultimately shaped by an exercise of power that was fundamentally economic in nature. Meanwhile, Roman authors at the ninth-century papal court imagined the spaces of eastern Europe very differently as homogeneous areas clearly delimited by strong borders. They reveal a geopolitical brand of territoriality as defined by geographers and historians of the modern nation-state. This papal vision of space was influenced by a power that was jurisdictional in nature. Finally, and in stark contrast, Byzantine authors imagined a non-territorial space of peoples in Eastern Europe: instead of drawing border lines to distinguish territories, they drew lines of faith to distinguish peoples. In the Church Slavonic sources, the most important principle ordering this ethnographic space was jezykb, a term meaning both "language" and "people," emphasizing both a Byzantine imperial ideology that was fundamentally ethnographic in nature as well as an exercise of power grounded in written cultures and even alphabets.
This dissertation both exposes the critical role played by eastern European Slavlands in the origins of European conceptions of territoriality and demonstrates the power of cross-cultural investigations to deepen our understanding of the medieval past.History

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt vad ironi är och hur den uppstår i Hallonbåtsflyktingen, en roman utgiven på finska av Miika Nousiainen (2007) och översatt till svenska av Mårten Westö (2009). Jag har utgått från Linda Hutcheons och Katharina Barbes teorier om ironi i min analys. Jag har även undersökt varför mottagandet av boken varit skiftande mellan Finland och Sverige. Ironins primära syfte är att framföra kritik och dess sekundära syfte är att roa. Kritiken i Hallonbåtsflyktingen framförs genom smicker på ett passivt aggressivt sätt. Det finska jämförs med det svenska genom stereotypen som kanal. Ironi uppstår genom inkongruens, när något inte stämmer i sammanhanget. Dessutom använder författaren upprepningar, förstoringar och förminskningar som metoder för att skapa ironi. Författaren har en intention, eller ett syfte med att skriva boken, men tolkningen av ironi sker i det osagda hos läsaren. Faktorer som läsarens bakgrundserfarenhet, värderingar och normer påverkar tolkningen. Eftersom läsaren i Finland har en annan historisk och kulturell bakgrund jämfört med läsaren i Sverige har mottagandet av boken varierat. En del läsare, i båda länderna, finner humorn i den medan andra inte uppskattar den. Maktaspekten går som en röd tråd genom boken och ironi i sig är ett vapen i kampen mot obalanser i maktförhållanden. Den har förmågan att förändra. Hallonbåtsflyktingen belyser maktobalanser inom bland annat politik och religion, kolonialism och postkolonialism, ekonomi samt genusfrågan.In my study I have examined what irony consists of and how it arises in Hallonbåtsflyktingen, a novel written in Finnish by Miika Nousiainen (2007) and translated into Swedish by Mårten Westö (2009). As a base for my analysis I have used Linda Hutcheon’s and Katharina Barbe’s theories on irony. In addition, I have examined why the reception of the book differed between Finland and Sweden. The prime purpose of irony is to deliver criticism and its secondary purpose is to entertain. Criticism in Hallonbåtsflyktingen is delivered by flattery in a passive aggressive way. The Swedish society is compared to the Finnish society through stereotypes. Irony happens when something does not fit in the context. It is considered incongruent. Methods like repetition, hyperboles and meiosis are used to create irony. The author does have an intention with the book, a reason to write. However, irony happens when the reader interprets text in the unsaid. The reader’s background and values influence the interpretation. Since the Finnish reader has a different history and background compared to the Swedish reader the book’s reception has varied, to a large extent, between the countries. Some readers find it humorous whilst others do not appreciate the humour. Power issues are present throughout the book and irony in itself is a weapon in the fight against the issues. Irony has the ability to change power imbalances. In Hallonbåtsflyktingen power imbalances are implicitly criticised through irony in the areas of politics, religion, colonialism, postcolonialism, economics and gender imbalances.

L’usurpation politique sous l’Empire romain a fait l’objet d’approches historiographiques récentes et novatrices avec les travaux, notamment, d’Egon Flaig et de Joachim Szidat, au point d’occuper une place essentielle dans la définition du pouvoir impérial. Le travail ici mené se propose de faire une étude en deux temps de ce phénomène, qui exista avant d’être nommé tardivement (au IVè siècle). Une première partie se propose d’en étudier le vocabulaire riche et varié à travers l’examen de l’ensemble des sources disponibles considérées dans leur évolution chronologique afin de voir peu à peu émerger ce concept politique et d’en proposer une définition tenant compte de cette analyse philologique. La lecture des différents auteurs de la fin de la République et des premiers siècles de l’Empire, mais aussi des époques plus tardives, permettent de mettre en évidence la structuration de leur pensée politique du phénomène, tant dans le domaine des idées abstraites reprises de la philosophie grecque (Platon et Aristote), que dans le recours au mythe comme clé d’analyse (depuis Virgile jusqu’à Sénèque).A cette étude des mots et des idées succède une seconde partie qui se donne pour but d’appliquer la définition proposée dans la première partie à l’étude de la période du Haut-Empire. Les usurpations y sont recensées d’une façon exhaustive en prenant en compte non seulement celles qui eurent effectivement lieu (au demeurant peu nombreuses) mais aussi toutes celles qui firent l’objet d’un soupçon et d’une mise en accusation. Ainsi sont mis en valeur des types de profils de candidats, des scénarios de conquête du pouvoir et de légitimation de celui-ci, mais aussi des techniques de contrôle et de conservation du pouvoir de la part de ceux qui se présentent comme des détenteurs légitimes parce qu’ils prétendent incarner le consensus de tous les citoyens de l’Empire. L’usurpation se révèle alors comme étant un phénomène politique central dont la menace réapparaît chaque fois que ce consensus faiblit, et qui s’efface lorsque ce consensus est rétabli. Moteur de l’évolution politique, il est un moyen d’expérimenter des modèles de conquête et de conservation du pouvoir faisant office d'exempla, et dont la prise en compte permet de modifier quelque peu la périodisation par règnePolitical usurpation in the days of the Roman Empire has been the topic of many recent and innovative historiographical approaches, among which those of Egon Flaig and Joachim Szidat, to the point of becoming a defining feature of imperial power. This political phenomenon, whose existence preceedes its late denomination as « usurpatio » (during the IVth century AD) is what this present work will attempt to study in a two-step approach.The first step consists in studying the rich and varied vocabulary of usurpation through the examination of all available sources, which will be reviewed in chronological order, so as to observe the gradual emergence of this political concept and to offer a definition which takes this philological analysis into account. Besides, perusing the writings of various authors from the end of the Republic to the Principate era, as well as those from later centuries, will help bring to light the structuring of their political thought on the phenomenon, be it in the field of abstract ideas inspired from Greek classical philosophy (Plato and Aristotle) or in the use of myths as a key element of analysis (from Virgil to Seneca).The aim of the second part of this work is to apply the definition put forward in the first one to the study of the Principate era. The comprehensive list of usurpations you will find there takes into account not only those which actually happened (all in all a limited number) but also all those which fell under suspicion and resulted in an indictment. Consequently, candidate profiles start to emerge, as well as patterns of power conquest and the legitimation of it, but also techniques to control and hold that power by those who identify themselves as legitimate rulers, because they claim to embody the public consensus in the Empire.Therefore, usurpation seems to be a central political phenomenon which threatens to reappear every time that consensus is weakened, and disappears whenever it is restored. It fuels political development, it is a way of experimenting with different models of power conquest and the retainment of it. Taking it into consideration allows for a slight modification of the traditional periodising by reign

L’analyse critique des personnages féminins de Marguerite Gauthier et Macabéa dans les films – Camille/ Le roman de Marguerite Gauthier, 1936 et A hora da estrela/L'heure de l'étoile, 1986 – cherche à comprendre les mécanismes par lesquels le mythe de l'éternel féminin assure sa continuité comme image-modèle des femmes contemporaines. La compréhension de ce processus ne s’achève que par l’analyse historique d’une mythologie plus ample – celle de la centralité et universalité du regard occidental –, à la base du système de représentation dominant. La première partie est consacrée à analyser les formes trouvés par ce « regard » pour représenter le corps colonisé et le corps féminin comme « l’Autre » du discours colonial patriarcal. La deuxième partie se tourne vers le corps féminin à partir de l’analyse historique du mythe de l’éternel féminin, sa subjectivation par des femmes contemporaines et le rôle de l’imaginaire médiatique dans la re-signification et permanence de ces images stéréotypés. Le personnage emblématique de Marguerite Gauthier, incarné par le mythe Greta Garbo, est au centre de cette analyse critique. La troisième partie s’attache à la réception du mythe et de ses répercussions comme espace de glissements d’identités/altérités. Dans ce parcours, la mise en évidence des personnages de ces deux femmes explicite l’acte narratif comme un acte identitaire, qui permet d’emphatiser la notion de l’« expérience » comme espace d’articulation d’autres subjectivités et d’autres regards, et proposer la mise en question du lien entre cinéma, féminin et récitThe critical analysis of the personages Marguerite Gauthier and Macabéa in the films -Camille / Le roman de Marguerite Gauthier, 1936 and A hora da estrela /The hour of the star,1986 - seeks to understand the mechanisms by which the myth of the eternal feminine ensures its permanence in contemporary women’s imaginary as an image-reference. The first section of the thesis focus the power of looking by an analytical approach between the stereotypes of the colonized body and the feminine body, identified as the “other” in the colonial discourse. The second section is a historical and critical analysis of the eternal feminine represented by the emblematic personage of Marguerite Gauthier, performed by Greta Garbo, and the resignifications of this myth by the contemporary media. The third section is a critical reflection about the feminine outsider, represented by the personage of Macabéa, by questioning the reception of the myth and its influence on the women’s creative process. This work focuses on the concept of 'experience' as a central element for the articulation of "others' perspectives, while questioning the relationship between film, feminine and narrative

This research aims to deepen the debates regarding the questions involving the restructuring of the Roman Catholic Church in Brazil and link this restructure with Republican State after the Church-State separation of power by Decree 119-A in January 7th of 1890 of the Provisional Government of the Republic. It was a new situation that arises beyond the ecclesiastical elite, deeply used to be a part of the universe inside State´s power. With an insignificant diocese, that emerged during colonial and imperial times of Brazilian history, this important structure of the Catholicism administration was crushed duo to the ties that bound Catholic Church and State at the system of patronage. Since the first meeting of the episcopate in São Paulo in 1890 there was a great mobilization around the proposal that intent to expand the Diocesan network and with the support of the Saint Faith was put into practice an ambitious plan that consisting of erecting at least one diocese in each State of the Federation as soon as possible. The urgency explains itself, even with the lack of resources, across the fact that the republicanism provided to the states some sort of autonomy that never existed before. The first Republican Constitution, published in 1891 was not the church´s wolf exactly, but limited considerably the Church´s influence inside the power. The research realized for this project was majority made at the Archivio Segreto Vaticano and brings a significant variety of documents about the political articulations necessary to execute this project. As nothing in politics is innocent there were several contradictions in the course, as much as conspiracies and scheming involving partisan politics that we are so used to see and hear about and where the political alliances not always follows ideals but, in so many times, contradicted these ideals instead. In this way, the main objective of the ecclesiastical elite was achieved. Documents are quite specific in this regard. The purpose of this research was try to articulate some schemes that State and Church together make use of to overcome differences and to forge actions creating new forms of acquaintance and interests intending to favor themselves at the secular republic State
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo central aprofundar o debate a respeito das questões que envolveram a reestruturação diocesana da Igreja Católica no Brasil e seus vínculos com o Estado Republicano pós separação Estado-Igreja, pelo Decreto 119-A, de 7 de janeiro de 1890, do Governo Provisório da República. Era uma situação nova que se colocava diante da elite eclesiástica brasileira, acostumada a fazer parte do universo de poder estatal. Com uma rede diocesana insignificante, eregidas ainda durante o período colonial e imperial brasileiro. Esse importante órgão da administração do catolicismo era achatado devido aos vínculos que prendiam Igreja-Estado no regime de padroado. Desde a primeira reunião do episcopado, em São Paulo, no ano de 1890, houve grande mobilização em torno da proposta de expansão da rede diocesana, com o apoio da Santa Sé, se colocou em prática um plano ambicioso de no menor tempo possível, erigir pelo menos uma diocese em cada Estado da Federação. A urgência, apesar da falta de recursos, se explicava, justamente pelo fato de, o republicanismo ter facultado aos estados uma autonomia antes inexistente. A primeira constituição republicana, promulgada em 1891, não chegou a ser o lobo da igreja , mas limitou bastante seu trânsito no poder. A pesquisa realizada, principalmente no Archivio Segreto Vaticano, traz uma variedade significativa de documentos sobre as articulações políticas que foram necessárias para executar esse projeto. Como nada em política é inocente, houve várias contradições no percurso, tramas e arranjos, que estamos acostumados a ver na política partidária, onde as alianças nem sempre seguem ideais, ao contrário, muitas vezes os contradizem. O objetivo a que se propôs a elite eclesiástica foi atingido. Documentos são bastante explícitos nesse sentido. A intenção na tese foi tentar articular algumas tramas de poder que Estado e Igreja, juntos, utilizaram para superar diferenças e forjar ações criando novas formas de convivência e interesses, que de alguma forma pudesse favorecê-los no Estado republicano laico

La présente étude interroge la conceptualisation chrétienne de l’autorité et des interrelations politiques dans l’Antiquité tardive, à travers motif assez récurrent dans les textes chrétiens des IVe et Ve siècles pour être considéré comme une stratégie rhétorique, celui des associations ‘empereur-croix’. À la confluence de ces deux référents suprêmes de la souveraineté, l’empereur et la croix, se pense et se construit une autre autorité personnelle ou collective, pensée comme médiatrice. Une association peut se définir comme un groupement entre au moins deux entités, concrètes et symboliques, dans un but commun, celui de la royauté glorieuse de l’empereur, du Christ et de leurs médiateurs. La croix y est sollicitée dans son acception prodigiale, en tant que signe puissant et dynamique, iconique et théologique. Elle peut donc être intégrée à une unité de temps et de lieu ou à un discours métaphorique et allégorique. L’objet de la présente enquête est de démontrer que les tenants d’une autorité médiatrice, qu’ils soient laïcs ou ecclésiastiques, revendiquent une visibilité et une assise politique, que le prince est capable de leur concéder, leurs pairs en mesure de leur reconnaître, et auxquelles le peuple peut adhérer. Par conséquent, les associations ‘empereur-croix’ servent un discours engagé, partisan et conquérant, réclamant ou se réclamant d’une autorité spécifiquement chrétienne. Dans tous les cas, celui qui manipule la puissance de la croix est bénéficiaire de qualités prophétiques qui légitiment son inclusion politique. De ce fait, la qualité médiatrice se construit sur la concurrence entre intermédiaires ou sur l’appropriation de cette qualité par le truchement de la loi, et non sur un conflit avec l’autorité impériale. En associant l’empereur et la croix dans leurs textes, les auteurs fabriquent des interactions, des rapports relationnels, des systèmes de contact, qui, loin d’un paysage binaire, révèlent une véritable dynamique de liens politiques multiples et multiformes dans l’Antiquité tardive et non un essoufflement et une ‘standardisation’ de ceux-ciThis study investigates the Christian conceptualization of authority and its political contexts by focusing on a rather common but never systematically analyzed rhetorical strategy in the texts of the 4th and 5th centuries: the associations between the Roman Emperor and the symbol of the cross. At the interface between the Emperor and the cross stands another authority, personal or collective, who is considered a mediator. Concrete or symbolic associations between at least two parties usually form themselves under a common goal: the glorious kingdom of Emperor, Christ, and their mediators. In this case, the cross is solicited in its profuse meaning as a powerful and dynamic sign, both iconic and theological; it is thus integrated in a specific setting of time and place or in a metaphorical and allegorical discourse. The goal of this study is to look at the different proponents of a mediating authority, whether secular or ecclesiastical, and their claims for visibility, political basis and public recognition. The manifold associations between the Emperor and the cross are part of a vibrant discourse, which is both partisan and conquering in reclaiming a specific Christian authority; and whoever is able to manipulate the power of the cross gains prophetic qualities that also legitimize political participation. Thus, the capacity to act as a mediator builds upon competition between intermediaries or upon the appropriation of this capacity by legal means, but not upon conflict with the Imperial authority. In associating the Emperor and the cross in the texts, the authors describe interactions and networks of contacts. Rather than breathless and “standardized” processes, these networks reveal the multiple and polymorphic dynamics of political relationships in Late Antiquity

The recent years have seen the revival of neo-Roman republicanism through the works of Philip Pettit, who has replaced Isaiah Berlin’s taxonomy of positive/negative liberty with freedom as nondomination. This essay compares the neo-Roman conception of nondomination to the liberal conception of noninterference, with the purpose of clarifying whether nondomination is a distinct concept of liberty and preferable to that of noninterference. The essay highlights the exchange between Pettit/Skinner and Carter/Kramer, wherein Carter and Kramer make their case for ‘pure negative liberty’, which is claimed to be the proper articulation of negative liberty. Pure-negative theorists believe that nondomination is a strand of negative liberty, adding nothing new to the concept, whereas their republican counterparts disagree. My essay argues that nondomination is a distinct, preferable concept of liberty, thanks to its view on fundamental unfreedom and the mere presence of arbitrary power, which the pure negative view fails to account for satisfactorily.
