This thesis brings to light evidence for the circulation and first-hand reception of Aristotle's Poetics in sixteenth-century England. Though the Poetics upended literary thinking on the Continent in the period, it has long been considered either unavailable in England, linguistically inaccessible to the Greekless English, or thoroughly mediated for English readers by Italian criticism. This thesis revisits the evidentiary basis for each of these claims in turn. A survey of surviving English booklists and library catalogues, set against the work's comprehensive sixteenth-century print-history, demonstrates that the Poetics was owned by and readily accessible to interested readers; two appendices list verifiable and probable owners of the Poetics respectively. Detailed philological analysis of passages from Sir Philip Sidney’s Defence of Poesie proves that he translated directly from the Greek; his and his contemporaries' reading methods indicate the text circulated bilingually as standard. Nor was Sidney’s polyglot access unusual in literary circles: re-examination of the history of Greek education in sixteenth-century England indicates that Greek literacy was higher and more widespread than traditional histories of scholarship have allowed. On the question of mediation, a critical historiography makes clear that the inherited assumption of English reliance on Italian intermediaries for classical criticism has drifted far from the primary evidence. Under these reconstituted historical conditions, some of the outstanding episodes in the sixteenth-century English reception of the Poetics from John Cheke and Roger Ascham in the 1540s to Sidney and John Harington in the 1580s and 1590s are reconsidered as articulate evidence of reading, thinking about, and responding to Aristotle's defining contribution to Renaissance literary thought.

The Mirror for Magistrates, the collection of de casibus complaint poems compiled by William Baldwin in the 1550s and expanded and revised between 1559 and 1610, was central to the development of imaginative literature in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Additions by John Higgins, Thomas Blenerhasset and Richard Niccols extended the Mirror’s scope, shifted its focus, and prolonged its popularity; in particular, the 1587 edition of the original text with Higgins’s ancient British and Roman complaint collections profoundly influenced the work of Spenser and Shakespeare. However, while there has been a recent resurgence of critical interest in the editions of 1559 and its 1563 ‘Second Part’, the later additions are still largely neglected and disparaged, and the transmission of the original text beyond 1563 has never been fully explored. Without an understanding of this transmission and expansion, the importance of the Mirror to sixteenth-century intellectual culture is dramatically distorted. Higgins, Blenerhasset and Niccols’s contributions are invaluable witnesses to how verse history was conceptualised, written and read across the period, and to the way in which the Mirror tradition was repeatedly reinterpreted and redeployed in response to changing contemporary concerns. The Mirror corpus encompasses topical allegory, nationalist polemic, and historiographical scepticism. What has not been recognised is the complex interaction of these themes right across the Mirror’s history. This thesis provides a comprehensive reassessment of the Mirror’s expansion, transmission, and appropriation between 1559 and 1610, focusing in particular on Higgins, Blenerhasset, and Niccols’s work. By comparing editions and tracing editorial revisions, the changing contexts and attitudes which shaped the early texts’ development are explored. Higgins, Blenerhasset, and Niccols’s contributions are analysed against this backdrop for the first time here, both within their own literary and historiographical contexts, and in dialogue with the early editions. A broad reading of the themes and concerns of these recensions, rather than the limited approach which has characterised previous scholarship, takes account of their depth and variety, and provides a new understanding of the extent of the Mirror’s influence and ubiquity in early modern literary culture.

[Truncated abstract] In this thesis I examine the poetics of Thomas Traherne’s often over-looked Christology through a reading of The Kingdom of God. This work, probably written in the early 1670s, was not discovered until 1997, and not published until 2005. To date, no extended studies of the work have been published. It is my argument that Traherne develops an expansive and energetic poetic expressive of the theme of the ‘Cosmic Christ’ in which Christ is understood to be the source, the sustaining life, cohesive bond, and redemptive goal, of the universe, and his body to encompass all things. While the term ‘Cosmic Christ’ is largely of 20th century origin, its application to Traherne is defended on the grounds that it describes not so much a modern theology, as an ancient theology rediscovered in the context of an expanding cosmology. Cosmic Christology lies, according to Joseph Sittler,“tightly enfolded in the Church’s innermost heart and memory,” and its unfolding in Traherne’s Kingdom of God is accomplished through the knitting together of an essentially Patristic and Pauline Christology with the discoveries and speculations of seventeenth century science: from the infinity of the universe to the workings of atoms. … The thesis concludes with a distillation of Traherne’s Christic poetic The Word Incarnate. The terms put forward by Cosmic Christology are used to explicate Traherne’s intrepid poetic. In his most remarkable passages, Traherne employs language not only as a rhetorical tool at the service of theological reasoning, but to directly body forth his sense of Christ at the centre of world and self. He promises to “rend the Vail” and to reveal “the secrets of the most holy place.” Scorning more “Timorous Spirits,” he undertakes to communicate and “consider it all.”

Edmund Waller, William Davenant, Andrew Marvell, and Abraham Cowley were royalist poets who changed sides following the English Revolution, attracted to Cromwellian military power, and the reforming aims of the Independents. This thesis contributes to existing scholarship by showing that the poets engaged strongly with theories of allegiance, self-consciously returning to first principles - the natures of sovereignty and obligation - to develop a concept of allegiance that was contingent and transferrable. Their crucial influence was Hobbes. Hobbes collapsed partisan perspectives into a general theory of sovereignty constituted by a de facto protective and coercive power; this was grounded on a psychological analysis of humans' restless appetite for power. The poets' approach to Hobbes was crucially mediated by Machiavelli, who provided a less abstract account of the relationship between individual agency and collective institutions, and whose concept of virtù offered a model for how restless ambition could be harnessed to political order. An introductory chapter sketches out the intellectual background to this body of theory and reflects on the methods used to show how the poets dramatized it in their works. Chapter two considers the disintegration of Waller's courtly poetry under the pressure of civil war, and his resulting turn to rationalist theory. Chapters three and four focus on the immediate aftermath of the revolution, considering the synthesis of Hobbes' and Machiavelli's theories of military power ventured by Davenant, and the influence of Davenant's ideas on Marvell's Machiavellianism. Chapter five focuses on Cowley and his more religiously-inflected account of Hobbesian psychology and political obligations. Chapter six asks how the poets responded to the Restoration of Charles II, and in particular charts their influence on the younger poet John Dryden. With their emphasis on materialist psychology, the turncoat poets abandoned allegory in favour of a mode of dramatization which observed the contingent circumstances in which allegiances could be generated, dissolved, and transferred. They possessed a political conservatism, but a conceptual radicalism which presented a serious challenge to Anglican and constitutionalist discourses of Stuart monarchy.

This dissertation explores the fluid relationship between monastic women and religious orders. I examine the roles of popes and their representatives, governing bodies of religious orders, and the nunneries themselves in outlining the contours of those relationships. At the beginning of the thirteenth century, many emerging religious communities belonged to small, local groups with loose ties to other nearby houses. While independent houses or regional congregations were acceptable at the time of the formation of these convents, after the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, monastic houses were required to follow one of three monastic rules and to belong to a recognized order with a well-defined administrative structure and mechanisms for enforcing uniformity of practice. This program of monastic reform had mixed success. Though some nunneries attained official incorporation into monastic or mendicant orders due to papal intervention, the governing bodies of these orders were reluctant to take on the responsibility of providing temporal and spiritual guidance to nuns, and for most nunneries the relationship to an order remained unofficial and loosely defined. The continuing instability of order affiliation and identity becomes especially clear in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when war-related destruction forced many nunneries to move into the walled area of the city, often resulting in unions of houses that did not share a rule and order affiliation. Moreover, some individual houses changed rules and orders several times. Though a few local houses of religious women had a strong and durable identification with their order, for many nunneries, the boundaries between orders remained porous and their organizational affiliations were pragmatic and mutable.

Le déséquilibre et le désordre du réel ont modifié chez l’homme baroque la vision de son être; leur présence écarte la gratuité de ses actes. Ses fascinations sont des indices révélateurs, ses rejets et ses attachements représentent des témoignages et des messages à déchiffrer. Notre étude essaie d’expliquer les raisons de la fascination de la génération baroque pour l’élément liquide à travers l’examen de l’imaginaire de ses aspects dans l’oeuvre baroque. L’imaginaire ou ce que Gilbert Durand appelle ‘’le capital pensé’’ de l’homme est une entité stratifiée dans la durée, plusieurs facteurs participent à sa structuration. Par conséquent, son examen exige une approche pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire. Grâce aux sciences cognitives qui représentent la voie par laquelle passe l’avenir des recherches sur l’imaginaire selon Philippe Walter, la présente étude essaie d’éclairer l’Imaginaire baroque à travers l’examen de la valeur de l’élément de l’eau dans des textes publiés entre 1580 et 1640. Notre travail utilise quatre des six sciences cognitives qui sont désignées par Georges A. Miller et qui instaurent à travers leurs corrélations des domaines interdisciplinaires. Pour explorer les représentations de cet élément dans le texte baroque avec un objectif qui consiste à leur proposer des explications causales sont indispensablement mobilisées l’anthropologie, la philosophie, la psychologie, et la linguistique. L’imaginaire baroque est reconstitué dans notre recherche grâce aux 5 croisements établis entre les sciences précédentes et les disciplines de l’histoire de l’art, de la critique littéraire, du folklore, de l’ethnologie, de la mythologie, de la sociologie, et de l’histoire des religions. Notre travail examine l’un des aspects de la nature dans l’imaginaire baroque. A travers nos analyses, nous essayons de retracer l’être et l’existence de l’homme baroque grâce aux présences de l’un de leurs constituants dans l’oeuvre de ce dernier. L’élément de l’eau est ce constituant qui représente l’un des aspects de la nature. La problématique dans notre travail, est composée d’un volet qui porte sur la valeur de l’élément de l’eau dans l’oeuvre baroque. Il y a un second volet visant à prouver que l’examen de l’imaginaire représente un outil permettant de cerner les reliefs et les complexités d’un texte baroque et un texte ayant une structure similaire avec celle que possède ce dernier, c’est-à-dire une structure incohérente et non linéaire. Notre recherche aimerait proposer une lecture de l’imaginaire de la matière dans le texte baroque et dans le texte littéraire en général. Elle aimerait démontrer que l’examen distant et interactif des actes de l’homme aide à leur trouver des explications; et que l’examen de l’imaginaire d’une oeuvre qui représente un acte de l’imaginaire de l’homme, aide à cerner ses implicites, les raisons de sa création, et la psychologie qui a dominé les circonstances de sa production
The imbalance and the chaos in which Baroque man lived, changed his vision of his entourage and at the same time they excluded the gratuitousness of his actions. His fascinations are messages to be deciphered, his rejections and attachments represent revealing clues and testimonials. Our study tries to explain the reasons of the fascination of the baroque generation for the liquid element through the examination of the imaginary of its aspects in the baroque work. The imaginary or what Gilbert Durand calls "thought capital" of man is a hybrid organism, several factors participate in its structuring therefore its examination requires an interdisciplinary approach. Through cognitive science, that represent the future of research on the imagination according to Philippe Walter, this study tries to illuminate the Baroque Imagination through the examination of the value the element of water in the works published between 1580 and 1640. Our work uses four of the six cognitive sciences which are designated by Georges A. Miller and which establish interdisciplinary fields through their correlations. To explore the representations of this element with the Anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics are indispensable to the objective of offering them causal explanations. The baroque imagination is reconstituted in our work by combining these sciences with the disciplines of the history of art, literary criticism, folklore, ethnology, mythology, sociology, and the history of religions. Our work examines one of the aspects of nature in the baroque work. Through our analyzes we try to trace the being and the existence of baroque man through the manifestations of one of their components in the work of the latter. The element of water which is this component and it represents one of the aspects of nature. The problematic in our work is composed of a component that deals with the value of the element of water in the baroque work. The second part aims to prove that the 7 examination of the imaginary represents a tool that helps to identify the reliefs of a baroque text and a text with a similar structure with the latter, that is to say an incoherent structure and complex. Our research proposes a reading for the imaginary of the material in the literary text. Our study would like to demonstrate that distant and interactive examination of human acts and his works serves to identify their explanations; and that the examination of the imaginary of a work which represents an act of the imaginary of man serves to identify its implicit and the reasons for its creation, and the psychology that dominated the circumstances of its production

This study is an ethnohistorical examination of Indian religious responses to contact with Euroamericans on the Columbia Plateau, from 1600 to 1850. Plateau natives understood their encounter with European civilization primarily as a momentous spiritual event, and sought new sources of spiritual power to cope with their rapidly changing world. White people seemed to the Indians to have an abundance of spirit power, and many native religious efforts were aimed at capturing some of this power for themselves. These efforts included the protohistoric Prophet Dance, the syncretic "Columbian Religion" of the fur trade era, and the initial enthusiastic response to the first Christian missionaries on the Plateau. Each of these attempts was marked by great enthusiasm at first, and each was abandoned with bitter disappointment as the material condition of the natives worsened. By 1850, most Indians had abandoned the idea that the spirit power of the white people could ever be accessed by themselves, and new religious impulses took the form of nativist movements which sought to purge the natives of white influences.;Because both Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries were active on the Plateau, I also compare the conversion efforts of the two faiths. to native eyes, the cultural flexibility, language skills, impressive ceremonies, and superior organizational structure of the Catholics compared favorably to the stem and incomprehensible doctrines of the Protestants. But in both cases most Indians accepted Christian doctrines only as a supplement, and not as a replacement of native beliefs. True converts proved rare before the reservation period.

The cinematic experience in Taisho Japan was a defining part of a spectrum of modernity's experiences associated with daily urban life. This paper argues that rather than theorizing film in rational terms common to "serious" film criticism focussing on aspects of production, Ozaki Midori envisioned the cinematic experience from the standpoint of an enthralled spectator, in terms of a sensual, bodily interaction with the cinematic image. Given the over-determined relationship of women to mass culture, one that is wrought with contradictions, Ozaki's writings on film open up the question of gender as it relates to spectatorship and the development of subjectivity within mass culture. Ozaki writes from a perspective within the cinematic experience in which the boundaries between spectator and image collapse. Ozaki offers a new mode of thinking and writing, a poetics of distraction to articulate and comprehend the modern experience.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

This thesis is a cultural-historical discussion of the role and significance of silence in shaping aspects of belief and practice in early modern England. It proposes that silence was significant and formative not just as a relative absence of sound but also as a recognised characteristic of certain forms of behaviour. Thus, it was figured in the modification, control or suppression of speech; in actions such as gesture and bodily comportment; and in conditions such as obedience, subordination, humility, piety, and patience. Some forms of silence also derived from, and influenced, human relationships with the natural world. The main areas of discussion are family and community life; religion; death and the afterlife; the restricted means of communication exemplified in deafness and dumbness, and connections between silence and solitude. However, further threads run through the thesis. These include the relationship of silence to social order, sins of the tongue, personal fulfilment, the exercise of authority, and approaches to God, nature, spirituality, and religious asceticism. Another important consideration is the extent to which the expectation and understanding of silence varied over the three centuries in question, particularly as a consequence of increasing rates of literacy, changes in household and family dynamics, and between pre- and post-Reformation theologies.

Resumo:

The broad objective of this dissertation is an interdisciplinary study uniting historical linguistics, classical philology, and comparative poetics in an attempt to investigate archaic Greek poetic texts from a diachronic perspective. This thesis consists of two parts. The first part, “Etymology and Poetics”, is devoted to several cases where scantiness of attestation and lack of semantic information render traditional philological methods of textual interpretation insufficient. In such cases, the meaning of a word has to be arrived at through linguistic analysis and verified through appeal to related poetic traditions, such as that of Indo-Iranian. Chapter 1 proposes a new interpretation for the enigmatic word ἀάατο̋, the Homeric epithet of the waters of the Styx, which is shown to have meant ‘sunless’. Chapter 2 deals with the word ἀριδείκετο̋, argued to mean ‘famous’: this solution finds support in the use of the root *dei̯k- in the poetic expression “to show forth praise”, found in Greek choral lyric and the Rigveda. Chapter 3 investigates the history of the verbs ἰάπτω ‘to harm’ and ἰάπτω ‘to send forth (to Hades)’. Chapter 4 improves the text of Pindar (O. 6.54), restoring a form ἀπειράτωι. Chapter 5 discusses the difficult word ἀμαυρό̋, establishing for it a meaning ‘weak’ and proposing a new etymology. Finally, Chapter 6 places Alc. 34 in the context of comparative mythology, with the object of reconstructing the history of the Lesbian lyric tradition. The second part, “Grammar of Poetry”, shifts the focus of the inquiry from comparative poetics to the language of early Greek poetry and its use. Chapter 7 addresses the problematic Homeric aorist infinitives in -έειν, showing how these artificial forms were created by allomorphic remodeling driven by metrical necessity; the problem is placed in the wider context of the debate about the transmission and development of Homeric epic diction. The metrical and linguistic facts relating to the distribution of infinitives are further discussed in Chapter 8, where it is argued that the unexpected Aeolic form νηφέμεν in Archil. 4 should be viewed as an intentional allusion to the epic tradition, specifically, the famous midsummer picnic scene in Hesiod.

Werewolf: The Images and Trials in France and Bedburg (1500–1610) is about the image of werewolves in the early modern society. The thesis aims at reconstructing the past and paving a new way for witchcraft studies. Five cases were selected from France and the Holy Roman Empire between 16th and 17th century in order to study the image of werewolf and its meaning. Werewolves were seen as sorcerers since they were said to have made a pact with the Devil. Given the tools or supernatural power, they were thought to be able to metamorphose themselves into werewolf and kill young children. Some of them were said to have attended to sabbats and committed incest. The notorious image of werewolf probably presented a mirror-image to the people that they should not behave in such ways. The series of murders probably worried the villagers who turned to local elites for help. The local elites and courts took the responsibility of investigation, and the interrogation procedures were adopted in both countries. New interrogation procedures were introduced and found in the trials. Evidence, witnesses’ testimonies and confessions of the accused were important to reach the verdict. After the accused was judged, the sentence would be sent to a higher court for the review. Although it was more commonly found in the French werewolf trials, this appellate tradition witnessed the breakthrough in the legal system.

This thesis provides the first account of complaint in Older Scots literature. It argues for the coherent development of a distinctively Scottish complaining voice across the fifteenth century, characterised by an interest in the relationship between amatory and ethical concerns, between stasis and narrative movement, and between male and female voices. Chapter 1 examines the literary contexts of Older Scots complaint, and identifies three paradigmatic texts for the Scottish complaint tradition: Ovid’s Heroides; Boethius’s De Consolatione Philosophiae; and Alan of Lille’s De Planctu Naturae. Chapter 2 concentrates on the complaints in Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Arch. Selden. B. 24 (c. 1489-c. 1513). It considers afresh the Scottish reception of Lydgate’s Complaint of the Black Knight and Chaucer’s Anelida and Arcite, and also offers original readings of three Scottish complaints preserved uniquely in this manuscript: the Lay of Sorrow, the Lufaris Complaynt, and the Quare of Jelusy. Chapter 3 focuses on the relationship between complaint and narrative, arguing that the complaints included in the Buik of Alexander (c. 1438), Lancelot of the Laik (c. 1460), Hary’s Wallace (c. 1476-8), and The Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour (c. 1460-99) act as catalysts for narrative movement and subvert the complaint’s traditional identity as a static form. Chapter 4 is a study of complaint in Robert Henryson’s three major works: the Morall Fabillis (c. 1480s); the Testament of Cresseid (c. 1480-92); and Orpheus and Eurydice (c. 1490-2), and argues that Henryson consistently connects the complaint form with the concept of self-knowledge as part of wider discourses on effective governance. Chapter 5 presents the evidence that a text’s identity as a complaint influenced its presentation in both manuscript and print witnesses. The witnesses under discussion date predominantly from the sixteenth century; the chapter thus also uses them to explore the complaints’ later reception history.

The lack of a chronological framework for 16th and 17th century northeastern North America has impeded local and regional cultural reconstructions. Based upon the changing style of 16th and early 17th century European glass beads and the settlement patterning of the Neutral Iroquoians of southern Ontario, a chronology has been created. It provides the means to investigate native and European cultural trends during that era, and within this dissertation three topics are examined--the development of the commercial fur trade and its archaeological manifestations, an archaeological definition of the Neutral Iroquoian confederacy, and changes in European material culture recovered from pre-ca. AD 1650 archaeological contexts throughout the Northeast.

Physiognomy is a ubiquitous subject of both pressing contemporary concern and genuine antiquarian early-modern interest. By examining the ways in which physiognomical treatises were read, this study reconstructs a way of looking at and listening to oneself, other people, nature and God, which I refer to throughout as the art of physiognomating. Known in manuscript form in England from at least the twelfth century onwards and probably long before, printed English 'treatises on physiognomy' were a small but constant feature of early modern European culture which, in part, explains the success of Lavater. Although direct translations of Continental versions, the English texts drew their physiognomical content from a handful of Greek, Arabic and medieval Latin authorities. They were owned and read by people of all ages, from a variety of different social groupings and geographical areas. Physiognomating was a multi-faceted phenomenon of the longue durée, understood by some as a natural language based on instinct, a magical knowledge based on divine revelation, a branch of natural philosophy, an aspect of medicine, moral philosophy, political science, humoral theory, astrology, fortune-telling, even game-playing. The meanings of some physical features were more or less consistently agreed upon, whilst many were also supported by physiognomical proverbs and adages. Long understood as an aspect of knowing oneself (nosce teipsum), physiognomy has much to say about early modern conceptions of gender, virtue and beauty as well as the language in which early modern people understood and experienced both their own bodies, the civility of themselves and other people, as well as the character of nature and, ultimately, God. Early modern printed expositions of physiognomical doctrine migrated through a number of generically distinct texts. This migration provides evidence of the ways in which this form of looking and listening - the inspectio sapiens/inspectio prudens - was conceived and used at different times across the period. The readers' graffiti found in the extant copies of these texts show how physiognomating ranged from being the performance of a confessional prayer in the guise of a private medico-moral self-inspection (possibly carried outwith the aid of a looking-glass) in the earlier part of the period, to a more public form of bawdy parlour game in the later part of the period. However, it was predominantly a form of political science, a utilitarian visual ideology for those everyday 'negotiations' with other people, with the aim of achieving business and procreational success in what was seen by many as the hazardous realm of the 'brutish sort' and the public sphere. Whilst physiognomy was central to John Dee's conception of science, Francis Bacon felt it needed cleansing of superstition. Most subsequent philosophers relegated it to the realm of mere opinion. Taught to children and examined at university, physiognomy was also practised by gypsies, vagabonds, astrologers, physicians, priests, ambassadors, lawyers, teachers and parents. This physiognomical gaze was also used for the choosing of a physician, a soldier, a partner or even a hat. The most prominent feature of the early modern reconfiguration of this art of physiognomating was the dissolution of the understanding of the self and other people as a constellation of natural Aristotelian and Christian ethical entities in a more fluid, culturally constructed language drawn from the characters of everyday life.

The subject of this thesis is the theology of the late 13th- early 14th century churchman 'Abdisho' bar Brikha. Better known by modern scholars for his poetry and canon law, he is far less recognised as a religious controversialist who composed works in Arabic as well as Syriac to answer Muslim criticisms. My overall argument contends that 'Abdisho''s hitherto neglected theological works are critical to our understanding of how anti-Muslim apologetics had by his time become central to his Church's articulation of a distinct Christian identity in a largely non-Christian environment. 'Abdisho' wrote his apologetic theology at a time when Christians experienced increasing hardship under the rule of the Mongol Ilkhans, who had officially converted to Islam in 1295. While the gradual hardening of attitudes towards Christians may well have informed 'Abdisho''s defensive stance, this thesis also demonstrates that his theology is built on a genre of apologetics that emerged as early as the mid-8th century. Our author compiles and systematises earlier debates and authorities from this tradition while updating them for a current authorship. In doing so, he contributes to the formation of a theological canon that would remain authoritative for centuries to come. My analysis of 'Abdisho''s oeuvre extends to three doctrinal themes: the Trinity, the Incarnation, and devotional practices (viz. the veneration of the Cross and the striking of the church clapper). I situate his discussion of these topics in a period when Syriac Christian scholarship was marked by a familiarity with Arabo-Islamic theological and philosophical models. While our author does not engage with these models as closely as his better-known Syriac Christian contemporary Bar Hebraeus (d. 1286), he nevertheless appeals to a literary and theological idiom common to both Muslims and Christians in order to convince his coreligionists of their faith's reasonableness against centuries-long polemical attacks.

Although International Relations scholars make frequent reference to the Middle Ages, most of our ideas about the period are not based on extensive empirical studies. Instead, they rely on a common imaginary of Medieval Europe as an unspecified and idealised system of overlapping authority and multiple loyalties. This thesis recovers a historical understanding of the late-medieval international order by focusing on the fundamental conceptions of the organization of the social held by medieval international practitioners. In particular, it examines a specific community of practice: lawyers of the ius commune from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. In doing so, this thesis makes three contributions to the IR literature. From a theoretical point of view, it adds to both English School and constructivist studies of historical international order by focusing on the process of differentiation through representation, as well as on contestation within it. In doing so, it argues for a move from a static understanding of order to the more dynamic notion of ordering. Secondly, it contributes methodologically to the historical study of ideas by proposing a methodological emphasis on communities of practitioners as a middle-ground between abstract constructivism and narrow Skinnerian analysis that facilitates the historically grounded consideration of the ordering role of language and ideas. Finally, empirically, this thesis demonstrates the analytical leverage gained from these theoretical moves by providing a detailed account of the international order from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, focusing not only on stability, but also on the contentious process of ordering. As a result, this thesis provides a new understanding of late-medieval notions of political authority, community, polity, and identity, while simultaneously highlighting the politics of representation behind them.

The purpose with this essay is to describe, analyze and interpret a Renaissance casket. The provenience is not very clear. A great part of my investigation is therefore focused on the task to find more information about the origin of this item. The casket has been given a date, 1590 and a master of origin, a goldsmith from Hamburg in the north of Germany. I haven't been able to confirm that information. Even though the matter of my concern is a unique piece of artwork, caskets in general, during the period of my interest are not particularly uncommon. During my work period I was lucky enough to find information that suggests a totally different German goldsmith, a fact that made the research even more exciting. It has broaden the field of investigation to incorporate even Nürnberg, in the south of Germany. Typical styles of the regions have therefore been a part of this investigation. Also the fact that German goldsmiths where contracted by The Swedish Royal Court.
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka, beskriva, analysera och tolka ett renässansskrin. Det är daterat till 1590 och tros vara tillverkat av en tysk guldsmed från Hamburg, hittills obekräftade uppgifter. En stor del av min undersökning är därför fokuserad på att försöka klarlägga fakta kring proveniensen. Även om skrinet i sig är ett unikt konsthantverksföremål, är typen inte sällan förekommande under det tidsspann uppsatsen rör sig. Under arbetets gång har nya uppgifter dykt upp som pekar mot en annan upphovsman, en guldsmed från Nürnberg, i södra Tyskland. Ett faktum som gjort undersökningen än mer spännande. Det har fört mig mellan deras respektive formspråk, som har inkluderat ett resonemang kring spridningen av antika, typiskt nordeuropeiska och framför allt tyska stilar. Viktigt för arbetet har varit att se föremålet i sin kontext, renässansen. Jag har också undersökt vilka kopplingar som fanns mellan de tyska guldsmederna och det svenska hovet.

The regions of James II, III, and IV in the second half of the fifteenth century in Scotland saw a distinctive flowering of advice to princes literature. This is the first account of its kind to examine in detail the sources, arguments, and extent of political comment of each individual work. In particular it employs both literary and historical sources to reveal the largely unrecognized impact of continental, especially French, political thought, on a number of writers. The study opens with a consideration of the poem De Regimine Principum, a politically very forthright advice work, influential for a century or so after its composition. Chapter 2 deals with the writings of Sir Gilbert Hay, whose work shows clear influences from the continent, particularly in the Buik of King Alexander, which is also seen to have interesting links with De Regimine Principum. Chapter 3 discusses the romance Lancelot of the Laik, a poem less precise in its allusions, but clearly indicative of a number of recurrent preoccupations in Scottish advisory literature in the areas of justice and kingly minorities. The two following chapters examine The Talis of the Fyve Bestes, which gives a markedly nationalistic evocation of good kingship, and The Buke of the Chess, where Scottish advice to princes is seen at its least politically aware. In Chapter 6 advice appears in yet another genre, the devotional poem The Contemplacioun of Synnaris, where the wider associations of `kingship' with the nosce te ipsum tradition are apparent. Chapters 7 and 8 concern The Thre Prestis of Peblis and John Ireland's Meroure of Wyssdome, possibly produced around the same time, but presenting their advice in very different manners: the Thre Prestis adroitly worked and entertaining, the Meroure, highly theological and drawing strongly on continental writers, notably the sermons of Jean Gerson. In conclusion it is shown that through this context we can best appreciate the purpose and formidable execution of Robert Henryson's advice to princes fable lq The Lion and the Mouse.

Resumo:

The driving ambition of this thesis lies in identifying and disclosing distinct and divergent examples of 20th century American long poems. This task will be carried out with a particular focus on stressing the idiosyncrasies of these practices rather than merely revising previous attempts at constructing a lineage or history of the American long poem. What is crucially at stake in this proposed critical movement is a distinction between ‘The Long Poem’ as an object of literary history as opposed to an ‘act of extended inquiry’ which can be comprehended in and on its own terms. In this task, I employ three key terms: Idiosyncrasy, Extension and Inquiry, which together frame my project as a disclosure of how poetic texts extend idiosyncratically over significant length, breadth and depth. In discussing ‘idiosyncrasy’ I necessarily negotiate questions of subjectivity, perception, intersubjectivity— namely, the questions which are proposed and explored by phenomenology. In this regard, my methodology is informed by a phenomenological taxonomy, developed from the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida. The grouping of poets featured in this thesis are all American writers who have published extended works since the 1950s, and each is associated to varying extents with schools of avant-garde, post-Modernist or ‘New’ poetics. George Oppen has been regarded as an ‘Objectivist’ poet and is often discussed alongside his contemporaries Zukofsky, Lorine Niedecker and Charles Reznikoff; James Schuyler’s close association with Frank O’Hara, Barbara Guest and John Ashbery locate him among the New York School in the 1950s; Robin Blaser was instrumental in many of the publications and events which surrounded the San Francisco Renaissance; Lyn Hejinian, Susan Howe and Leslie Scalapino all published poems and works of poetics in L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E school publications in the 1970s-80s; and Rachel Blau DuPlessis has worked since the 1970s with both Language and Objectivist poetics, though her sustained interest in and engagement with ‘the long poem’ distinguishes her as a leading figure in the discourse of extended poetics in her own right. In each of these readings, significant efforts are made to discuss each poet outside of their conventional place within their ‘school’ or ‘tradition’. The purpose of this is to seek access to the idiosyncrasies of poets and their works as opposed to merely relying on generalised reckonings. In this manner, the specific ways in which individual poets extend their poetics into substantial inquiries will be made apparent using the terms employed by the poets themselves. It is my intention for this thesis to stand as an opening of the discourse of ‘The American Long Poem’ to complex and developed questions of extension in poetry, with a view to framing 20th century American poetics as being particularly oriented towards carrying out intellectual and perceptive inquiries in the form of works of poetic extension.

This thesis examines the roles played by craft organisations or 'guilds' in medieval urban society through a case study of the tailors of London in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Using the records of the City and of the guilds themselves, including the important early records of the Tailors, this study seeks to answer important questions about the nature of these organisations and the impact which they had upon urban society. Far from being the mere 'agents' of municipal governments, craft guilds often performed important and constructive functions on behalf of the artisans themselves. The first two chapters examine the extent to which voluntarism characterized the activities of many of these associations: the guild of London tailors, though unusual in the scale and scope of its spiritual and charitable provision, embodied widely shared principles of association which were not articulated solely through parish guilds. Subsequent chapters look at the ways in which the Tailors' guild expressed and articulated other concerns of their members and those outside the ruling guild: in the sphere of City politics, for instance, the Tailors came to represent the aspirations of many poorer citizens through their struggle for civic prominence. Likewise, in the sphere of economic regulation, this thesis demonstrates the ways in which the Tailors' guild, among others, was able to introduce flexible and pragmatic policies of enforcement, based upon the shared interests of those inside and outside the decision-making groups. The final section of the thesis then examines more closely the limitations of impressions of economic structures derived purely from guild statutes. First, the nature of apprenticeship and servanthood in medieval London is examined with particular emphasis upon the differing perceptions of these 'life-cycle institutions' by all concerned. Secondly, a systematic analysis of the structure of the tailoring industry in London is carried out and explores the remarkable diversity of economic life in the capital.

This thesis provides detailed studies of settlement on four Faroese islands and in four districts of Shetland in order to isolate and explain differences and similarities between the two island groups. These studies examine topography, place-names, relationships with previous settlements, church distribution, settlement expansion, inter-relationship of settlements and land assessments. The range of sources and methods are set out in the Introduction. The first Regional Study presents two districts of Western Norway, Fjaler and Gaular, which are discussed to illustrate some of the major trends of settlement in the homeland. Detailed studies are then made of settlements on the four Faroese islands of Fugloy, Streymoy, Sandoy and Suduroy and in the four Shetland districts of Fetlar, Delting, Walls and Sandness, and Tingwall. A section arranged thematically follows, bringing together results from the Regional Studies and referring more generally to the whole of Shetland and Faroe. This section examines three themes: firstly, the relationship between the Norse settlers and pre-Norse populations; secondly, the development of the Scattalds and bygdir; -and thirdly, naming patterns. Despite very great differences in the extent of settlement prior to the arrival of the Norse in Faroe and Shetland, primary settlement patterns are essentially similar. The Scattalds and bygdir represent comparable settlement districts and reflect similar agricultural requirements and responses to the landscape while primary settlement sites in both island groups generally feature good harbours and extensive cultivable land with topographical names descriptive of their coastal location. Secondary settlement expansion takes different forms in Faroe and Shetland, however, and this is reflected in nomenclature, in particular the absence of the habitative elements stadir, bolstadr and setr from Faroe. It is concluded that the absence or presence of habitative place-name elements is dependent on the nature of settlement expansion.

Cette recherche étudie l'importance de la liturgie et de la paraliturgie dans la société médiévale par le biais des utilisations et de la symbolique de l'encens et du luminaire dans la liturgie romano-gallicane (VIe-Xe s.)et dans les pratiques dévotionnelles du haut Moyen Age occidental.

L’importance de l’Église dans tous les aspects de la vie au Moyen Âge est indéniable. Pourtant l’on connaît encore mal la place qu’y occupe la liturgie ;or, la liturgie est au cœur de l’Église puisque elle est définie comme l’ensemble des rites et principes mis en place par une religion – ici chrétienne – pour établir le déroulement des actes cultuels et de la relation au sacré. Elle est dès lors fondamentale à une époque où la majorité du corps social se reconnaît comme chrétien, elle est l’expression de la religion et rythme toute la société médiévale.

Depuis plusieurs années, elle suscite l’intérêt justifié de quelques médiévistes. Ceux-ci ont souligné l’importance de considérer la liturgie dans sa globalité, c'est-à-dire de dépasser la simple étude des livres liturgiques pour s’intéresser également à la façon dont la liturgie était perçue, reçue et vécue par les fidèles notamment au travers de leurs pratiques dévotionnelles, c’est ce que l’on appelle la paraliturgie.

La liturgie se caractérise par la récurrence des rites qui sont des suites ordonnées de gestes, de sons, d’objets mis en œuvre par un groupe social à des fins symboliques. À ce titre, l’étude des éléments constitutifs de la liturgie se justifie pleinement, puisque le rite ne s’accomplit et n’est efficace que dans la permanence de tous ses éléments.

L’encens et le luminaire ont ceci de particulier que leurs fonctions utilitaires, pour éclairer et désodoriser, les rendent indispensables à la liturgie. Par ailleurs, le propre du rituel est de donner sens, or, l’encens et le luminaire, par leurs propriétés naturelles se sont vus conférer un sens symbolique dans toutes les cultures où ils sont utilisés. Ce sont des éléments bénéfiques utilisés particulièrement dans la religion car ils permettent de matérialiser la communication entre le monde terrestre et le monde céleste. Toutefois, dans la religion chrétienne, l’encens et le luminaire ont un statut inférieur ou secondaire par rapport au calice ou à l’hostie par exemple.

L’ensemble de ces caractéristiques augurait de l’existence d’un rapport particulier entre ces objets et le fidèle ;leur étude constitue dès lors un outil efficace pour connaître l’impact de la liturgie sur la société médiévale. Sans compter que l’étude des éléments constitutifs de la liturgie n’en est qu’à ses débuts, et si le luminaire a suscité quelques publications récentes, l’encens n’a que peu été abordé ;l’étude de leur couple est, en tous les cas, inédite. Par ailleurs, l’étude de l’encens et du luminaire s’inscrit dans des débats historiographiques plus larges notamment celui des relations commerciales, puisque l’encens est un produit oriental et l’huile d’olive méditerranéen, ce qui en renforce encore l’intérêt.

Pour connaître les utilisations de l’encens et du luminaire dans la liturgie, préalables indispensablse à la connaissance de leurs emplois dans la paraliturgie, il faut se tourner vers les sources liturgiques ce qui consitute la première partie du travail.

L’analyse de ces différentes sources liturgiques a permis de mettre en évidence les usages officiels et les symboliques donnés à l’encens et au luminaire dans les différents rituels de la liturgie romano-gallicane (la messe, la liturgie pascale, la dédicace, l’office divin, le temps de Noël, les funérailles et les rituels d’admission).

En définitive, l’encens et luminaire sont des médiateurs entre le monde terrestre et le monde céleste, ils matérialisent et réifient ce lien réciproque. Ils ont un caractère propitiatoire important, intimement lié à leurs vertus apotropaïques et basé sur leurs propriétés naturelles.

Les sources liturgiques ne fournissent pas d’information sur le fonctionnement de l’encens et du luminaire, sur leur économie ou sur la façon dont ils étaient utilisés par les fidèles pour manifester leur dévotion ;même si elles laissent entrevoir de riches possibilités.

Le champ des recherches à été élargi par l'étude de « dossiers ». Les recherches ont été focalisées autour de centres religieux bien connus dans l’historiographie grâce à des sources remarquables par leur qualité et/ou leur quantité qui ont suscité une bibliographie conséquente. Toutes les sources relatives au centre religieux ont ensuite été dépouillées et analysées systématiquement. Les dossiers de Tours,Reims, Auxerre et Saint-Riquier ont livré beaucoup d’éléments tant sur les questions de la fourniture et du fonctionnement que sur celles des pratiques dévotionnelles liées au luminaire. Les sources "non-liturgiques" de ces quatre dossiers ont ainsi révélé des pratiques communes pour assurer l’approvisionnement en luminaire, qui constitue une dépense importante. L’approvisionnement en encens est plus difficile à déceler.

Les sources non-liturgiques, en particulier les récits hagiographiques, apportent de la densité et de l’atmosphère aux sources liturgiques particulièrement froides et factuelles. Elles donnent incidemment des informations sur la forme et le fonctionnement du luminaire principalement, et elles complètent et corroborent les éléments de la première partie. Les éléments concernant le culte des saints sont nombreux.

Les pratiques dévotionnelles relevées (culte des saints, donations pour le luminaire, offrandes de cierges, utilisations apotropaïque du luminaire et de l'encens, etc.) témoignent donc que les symboliques du cierge, plus largement du luminaire, et de l'encens sont communes aux pratiques liturgiques et dévotionnelles.

Le travail montre que la cire, l’huile et l’encens sont utilisés de façon régulière par les églises et qu’ils étaient disponibles sur les marchés locaux pour les ecclésiastiques. Il faut vraisemblablement distinguer plusieurs niveaux de qualité conditionnant l’utilisation de ces matières.

L’encens et le luminaire sont des outils pertinents pour apprécier la façon dont la liturgie était vécue dans la société médiévale, notamment grâce à leurs usages dans les pratiques paraliturgiques.

This dissertation is a study of nonspeech communication and its significance for mutual acculturation and colonial power dynamics in the context of French-Indian contacts across the Americas in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Most scholars have considered sign-language, pantomime, and other nonverbal means of communication (visual, sonorous, tactile, etc), as temporary, imperfect, and insignificant solutions to the lack of mutual linguistic understanding during early colonial encounters. It is also often assumed that these means of communication, combined with seemingly insurmountable cultural differences, inevitably promoted misunderstandings, incomprehension, and violent conflicts between early colonists and native populations. Seeking to challenge these assumptions, this work closely analyzes the nature, origins, change overtime, and cultural implications of nonverbal and paralinguistic forms of communication, which I argue importantly contributed to the accommodation process and the emergence of cultural hybridity in the early French-Indian Atlantic.;This dissertation offers to expand and refine our understanding of cross-cultural communication and miscommunication in various colonial settings. to do so, it brings in a comparative perspective the experiences of a wide range of French explorers, missionaries, colonial officials, mariners, soldiers, and settlers with a variety of native peoples, cultures, and societies in Brazil, Florida, the Caribbean, Canada, and the Upper Mississippi Valley, from 1500 to the conclusion of the Great Peace of Montreal in 1701. Research for this project was conducted in both published and archival sources, using the original French language versions of the sources, for which I provide new or first translations. The comparative scope of this work brings into question the predominant Canadian-centered chronology that has lead past studies of French America, and seeks to put greater emphasis on the influence that local indigenous cultures and contexts had on colonial developments and in shaping the alliance.;Through five thematic/chronological chapters, my work traces the emergence of a culturally-syncretic repertoire for communication in the early French Atlantic, in which non-linguistic elements were at least as important as spoken words to mediate relations between individuals and groups. Starting with the emergence of shared nonverbal codes during first contacts, the project then explores the process of acculturation as a sensory journey through otherness, then demonstrates the permanence of nonverbal means of communication during and after the mutual acquisition of language by French and Indians. It provides an in-depth look at the role of nonverbal performances in ceremonial oratory in seventeenth-century New France with particular attention to the contest between Jesuit and Indian orators. The dissertation ends with a comparison of nonverbal dimensions of diplomacy in New France and the Caribbean, until the eve of the eighteenth century.
