Mendiants et mendicité dans la littérature grecque archaïque et classique / Beggars and beggary in archaic and classical Greek literatureAssan Libé, Nathalie 10 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur la mendicité et la figure du mendiant dans la littérature grecque, d’Homère jusqu’au philosophes cyniques. Quatre familles de mots servent de point de départ à cette étude : πτωχός « le mendiant », ἀγύρτης « le prêtre mendiant », ἀλήτης « vagabond », πλάνης « le rôdeur » et la triade ἐπαίτης, προσαίτης, μεταίτης « le quémandeur ». Le hasard de la conservation veut que les attestations de la mendicité dans la littérature grecque se cantonnent au corpus poétique. Or, par sa dimension pragmatique, la poésie grecque reste liée à son contexte d’origine, en traitant toujours de problématiques sociales qui lui sont contemporaines. Notre travail se propose d’étudier dans quelle mesure les représentations littéraires et esthétiques de la mendicité sont investies d’une fonction sociale. Notre thèse adopte trois perspectives méthodologiques : une étude lexicale de la mendicité examinant les jeux de synonymie et les connotations, un examen des fonctions littéraires et dramatiques du personnage, tantôt catalyseur de l'action, tantôt vecteur d'émotions, et une analyse sur son rôle argumentatif dans les réflexions politiques et morales sur la pauvreté au IVème siècle. Le motif de la mendicité permet aux Grecs d’envisager un certain type d’exclusion civique, et en contre-point, d’appréhender la nature du lien social. Une étude chronologique montre que ce personnage, initialement contre-modèle du parfait citoyen, devient aux moments de grands bouleversements économiques un personnage attachant, permettant à la cité de réintégrer symboliquement les pauvres et de prôner indirectement la solidarité collective. / This study/PhD thesis is focused on the beggary and the beggar in Greek literature, from Homer to the cynicism. At the beggining, I am dealing with the study of four word groups : πτωχός ‟beggar”, ἀγύρτης ‟begging priest”, ἀλήτης ‟vagabond”, πλάνης ‟wanderer” and ἐπαίτης, προσαίτης, μεταίτης ‟almsman”. The preserved corpus of Greek literature with mention of the beggary is fortuitously restricted to poetry. By her pragmatic function, ancient Greek poetry remains connected with contemporary social problems. My work's aim is to investigate how literary and aesthetic representations of the beggary have a social function. I adopted three methodological perspectives: a semantic study of the beggary (synonyms and connotations), an study of the literary and dramatic functions of that character (sometimes action accelerator, sometimes factor of emotions), and an analysis of his argumentative role in political and moral reflexions about poverty during the fourth century B.C. The motive of the beggary enabled Greek people to consider a type of civic exclusion, and in parallel, to apprehend the nature of the social cohesion. A chronological approach shows that this character, previously a counter-model of the perfect citizen, becomes - when big economical changes arrive - an endearing character, who symbolically reinstates excluded people in the city and indirectly promote public solidarity.

Partages de l’Iliade dans le roman occidental contemporain / Challenging the “Great Divide” : a Study of Contemporary Western Novelisations of the IliadCoutier, Élodie 07 December 2019 (has links)
Dans le contexte d’une mise en question sans cesse renouvelée des hiérarchies sociales et culturelles dans les sociétés occidentales contemporaines, dont rend compte le développement des études culturelles depuis les années 1960, la publication d’un grand nombre de réécritures romanesques de l’Iliade témoigne d’un mouvement réflexif de la littérature vis-à-vis de sa propre histoire. En observant les tensions dynamiques à l’œuvre dans la rencontre du roman et du discours épique, ce travail de thèse entend proposer une approche du champ littéraire qui ne soit pas fondée sur la division de ce dernier entre culture artistique et culture à destination du grand public, mais conçue sous l’angle d’un partage transmédiatique et transculturel. L’analyse des réécritures romanesques de l’Iliade révèle en effet une convergence des procédés et des discours de part et d’autre du « grand partage » littéraire, au service d’une réflexion commune sur le caractère problématique du canon littéraire. La confrontation des discours épique et romanesque contribue à l’élaboration d’une pensée démocratique de la société, qui repose sur la construction d’un espace narratif traversé par une pluralité de discours génériques et de références culturelles. / Challenging the social and cultural hierarchies which are still authoritative in our contemporary Western societies has been a long-lasting concern of Cultural Studies ever since their development in the 1960s. As evidenced by the great amount of novels set in the fictional world of the Trojan War, which prove themselves to be genuine rewritings of the Iliad narrative, the Western canon and its relevance are equally scrutinized by contemporary novelists. By studying the dynamic conflicts which underlie the encounter between epic discourse and the genre of the novel, this dissertation intends to dispute the concept of a “Great Divide” between artistic and popular culture, and to prove that literature is a transcultural medium. A close study of a few contemporary novelisations of the Iliad brings to light existing shared narrative techniques and discourses undermining the legitimacy of the Western canon. Through the remodeling of the epic genre and its conventions, the novel assumes a democratic approach to society which stems from a narrative architecture hinging on a multiplicity of generic discourses and cultural references.

La Vengeance Nostre Seigneur et son rayonnement dans le manuscrit de Paris, BnF, fr. 1553Turcot, Virginie 12 1900 (has links)
La Vengeance Nostre Seigneur est une chanson de geste écrite vers 1200 qui raconte la destruction de Jérusalem en 70 de notre ère par Vespasien et Titus comme une vengeance pour la Crucifixion. Elle nous est parvenue dans dix manuscrits, tous des recueils, étant donné sa relative brièveté (1200 à 3400 vers, selon les rédactions). Or, ce texte adopte un comportement particulier dans certains des manuscrits qui le conservent : le récit de la vengeance du Christ bourgeonne dans d’autres textes où l’on n’attendrait pas sa manifestation. L’objectif de cette étude est double : comprendre comment est pensé, conçu et construit le recueil médiéval d’une part, à partir du recueil de Paris, BnF, fr. 1553 ; d’autre part, il s’agira d’évaluer le rôle que la Vengeance Nostre Seigneur peut jouer dans la composition des manuscrits qui l’hébergent.
Après l’analyse du recueil du Moyen Âge central en général et du recueil de Paris, BnF, fr. 1553 en particulier, l’étude se concentrera sur la Vengeance Nostre Seigneur afin de la situer dans le paysage littéraire médiéval (étude des sources, analyse générique, contexte de circulation). Il s’agira de comprendre la place qu’elle occupe dans le manuscrit de Paris, BnF, fr. 1553 et de saisir le phénomène de rayonnement qui surgit dans ce recueil. Le rôle de la Vengeance dans deux autres manuscrits qui, bien que fort différents, occupent une place importante dans la tradition, le recueil de Paris, BnF, fr. 1374 et le recueil de Turin, BNU, L.II.14, sera ensuite étudié, notamment en ce qui a trait au rayonnement de la légende. Enfin, les trois copies du texte seront comparées afin de déterminer dans quelle mesure ces trois rédactions représentent précisément le même récit. / The Vengeance Nostre Seigneur is an epic poem written around 1200 which depicts Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 AD by Vespasian and Titus as a vengeance for the Crucifixion. It is now known in ten manuscripts, all of them miscellanies, given its relative brevity (1200 to 3400 verses, depending on the redaction). This text has a peculiar behavior in some of the manuscripts where it is kept: the story of Christ’s vengeance appears in other texts in which we would not expect its manifestation. The purpose of this study is twofold: on one hand, to understand how the medieval collection is thought, built and conceived, from the manuscript of Paris, BnF, fr. 1553; and on the other hand, to evaluate the role the Vengeance Nostre Seigneur played in the composition of the manuscripts that hosts it.
After analysing the medieval miscellany in general, and more specifically the Paris, BnF, fr. 1553 collection, the study will focus on the Vengeance Nostre Seigneur to position it on the medieval literary scene (study of the sources, generic analysis, circulation context). The goal will be to demonstrate the role it played in the Paris, BnF, fr. 1553 manuscript and to understand the phenomenon of unexpected presence of the legend in other texts of this collection. There will then be a study of the same phenomenon in two very different manuscripts that both occupy an important place in the tradition; the manuscripts of Paris, BnF, fr. 1374 and Turin, BNU, L.II.14. Finally, the three copies of the text will be compared to determine if these three redactions represent precisely the same story.

La poésie en langue d'oc. Daurel et Beton : étude de l'oeuvre et traduction / Old french south epic poetry in old provençal. Daurel et BetonLe Denic, Catherine 06 June 2019 (has links)
L'étude consacrée à Daurel et Beton consiste à décrire une forme poétique singulière, celle de la chanson de geste en langue d'oc du XIIe siècle. La recherche porte ainsi sur les ressources de la langue pour créer le matériau épique. Dans Daurel et Beton, en effet, la langue lyrique, la langue des troubadours, des poètes du Sud, devient la langue épique. Il nous faut donc saisir la vocation de notre poème : offrir le vécu immédiat de l'incantation sonore au public mis en présence de la langue poétique des origines, celle de la chanson de geste en langue d'oc qui naît à la littérature. De plus, dans Daurel et Beton, le jongleur, ordinairement cantonné aux motifs culturels et extradiégétiques, devient un personnage de premier plan dans le récit. L'analyse se place également sur le terrain de l'anthropologie et tente de saisir la dimension culturelle de l'oeuvre dans tous ses aspects, c'est-à-dire le fonctionnement de la société féodale perceptible au travers des situations du récit, la conception des rapports sociaux et plus généralement la vision de la sociabilité aristocratique, des rituels qui définissent les échanges humains au Moyen Âge. / Daurel et Beton is a chanson de geste written in old provencal, and a particular poetic form from the twelfth century. What are the resources to create the epic material ? Surely the lyric language : the forms are loud-sounding, full of matter, highly musical, and the chanson. quite different from those of Northern France, returns to the primary source of epics. Moreover, in Daurel et Beton, noteworthy is the fact that the jongleur exceeds the cultural and metalinguistic functions he fulfils usually in the genre and becomes a character of primary interest in the plot. Besides, this text deserves en anthropology investigation. i.e. how the feudal suciety is showned in tbe narratives situations, and which are the interactions between individuals in the Middle Ages society depicted in South Old French epics. Thus, it is possible to tackle the status of the epic imaginary bound to the poetic form, and to observe how genre and its style evolved int the South of France.

Songes, apparitions et images mentales : les influences de la doctorine épicurienne sur l'Enéide de Virgile / Dreams, apparitions and mental images : the impacts of epicureanism on the Vergil’s AeneidMonchy, Anaïs 25 October 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse s’attache à mettre en lumière les points de rencontre entre la philosophie épicurienne et l’épopée de Virgile. Si les relations entre la philosophie d’Épicure et l’œuvre de Virgile ont fait l’objet de nombreux développements, les correspondances et les liens mis en lumière concernent pour l’essentiel ses œuvres de jeunesse, soit les poèmes des Géorgiques et des Bucoliques. A contrario, on constate que dans l’épopée d’Énée, les empreintes de l’épicurisme se trouvent bien souvent mises au second plan.Chez Virgile comme chez Lucrèce et les épicuriens, ce qui a trait à la vision et au phénomène des songes tient une place importante. Cette étude envisage de montrer dans quelle mesure le traitement littéraire des différents épisodes de songes et d’apparitions qui rythment l’épopée virgilienne constitue un reflet des considérations épicuriennes qui ont participé à la formation philosophique du jeune poète. La façon dont il aborde le sujet des rêves et des apparitions au travers d’un récit épique codifié se trouve mise en parallèle avec les écrits d’Épicure et plus spécifiquement avec de De rerum natura de Lucrèce. Les questions épistémologiques en lien avec l’épicurisme, de même qu’une analyse du vocabulaire lié aux images et aux songes sont au cœur de ce travail.S’il y avait a priori un enjeu dans le choix d’appréhender une œuvre de l’ampleur de l’Énéide du point de vue de l’épicurisme et en se limitant aux seuls textes traitant des songes et des apparitions, l’analyse des vers de Virgile à la lumière du texte de Lucrèce permet de faire émerger des affinités tant au niveau du lexique que des thématiques traitées. Les empreintes d’une influence épicurienne dans l’épopée de Virgile sont, comme les songes et apparitions, d’une nature parfois ténue, mais si on veut bien y prêter attention, elles ne sont pour autant ni impalpables ni insaisissables. / This thesis aims to highlight links between the epicurean philosophy and Vergil’s epic. If the relations between Epicurus’ philosophy and Vergil’s work have been widely discussed, the highlighted interconnections and links mainly deal with his early works, ie. Georgics and Bucolics. On the other hand, it is possible to note that in Aeneas’ epic the footprint of epicureanism are often put on a second plan.Both as in Vergil and in Lucretius and the Epicureans, the topic dealing with the vision and the dream has an important status. This study aims to demonstrate the way the literary interpretation of the differents episodes of dreams and apparitions, that punctuate Vergil’s epic, is a mirror of the epicurean considerations that took part in the philosophical background of the young poet. The way he deals with the subject of the dreams and the apparitions through a codified epic story is compared with Epicurus’ writings and more specifically with Lucretius’ De rerum natura. Epistemological questions linked with the epicureanism, as well an analysis of the vocabulary refering to images and dreams are the main point of the study.through the epicureanism, limited to the texts dealing with dreams and apparitions, the analysis of Vergil’s verses thanks to Lucretius’ work allows us to highlight affinities in terms of the lexicon as well as the topics covered.The marks of an epicurean influence in Vergil’s epic are, as the dreams and the apparitions, of a tenuous essence, but if we look at this carefully, they are nevertheless neither intangible nor elusive.

Traços épico-brechtianos na dramaturgia portuguesa : O render dos heróis de Cardoso Pires e Felizmente há luar! de Sttau Monteiro /Rodrigues, Márcia Regina. January 2010 (has links)
Orientador: Renata Soares Junqueira / Banca: José Pedro Antunes / Banca: Lílian Lopondo / Resumo: Em Portugal, durante o Estado Novo, apesar de a comissão de censura proibir a obra do dramaturgo alemão Bertolt Brecht (1889-1956), os dramaturgos, atores e diretores conseguiram, de alguma forma, adquirir conhecimento sobre os pressupostos do teatro épico brechtiano e praticá-los nas suas criações dramatúrgicas e encenações. Assim, algumas das peças produzidas pela dramaturgia portuguesa na segunda metade do século XX, além de explorarem freqüentemente temas históricos - a fim de tratar do passado com vistas a analisar o momento presente -, anunciavam a estética do teatro épico de Brecht como uma inovação das formas dramáticas praticadas até então. Frutos da perspectiva brechtiana de teatro épico, O render dos heróis (1960), de José Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) e Felizmente há luar! (1961), de Luís de Sttau Monteiro (1926-1993) constituem o corpus desta Dissertação de Mestrado. Essas peças apresentam no seu enredo fatos remanescentes ou antecedentes da Revolução Liberal de 1820, com o objetivo de - por meio da alegoria - levar o leitor / espectador a uma análise crítica da situação político-social de Portugal sob o regime ditatorial de António de Oliveira Salazar. Analisamos as formas de apropriação do efeito de distanciamento - elemento caracterizador do teatro épico brechtiano - nessas peças, bem como a relação delas com o período político marcado pela censura salazarista. Para isso, a nossa base teórica é constituída principalmente pelas teorias acerca do teatro épico de Brecht, considerando-as no contexto do teatro português da década de 1960. / Abstract: In Portugal, during the Estado Novo period, although the censorship committee prohibited the work by German dramatist Bertolt Brecht (1889-1959), dramatists, actors, and directors were able to, somehow, acquire knowledge concerning the assumptions of Brechtian epic theater and put them into practice in their dramaturgical creations and staging. This way, some of the plays produced by Portuguese dramaturgy in the second half of the 20th century, besides frequently approaching historical themes (in order to discuss the past aiming at analyzing the present), articulated the aesthetics of Brecht's epic theater as an innovation of drama performed up to that point. Results of Brechtian perspective on epic theater, O render dos heróis (1960), by José Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) and Felizmente há luar! (1961), by Luís de Sttau Monteiro (1926-1993) are the corpus of this Master Degree's dissertation. These plays have, in their plots, facts which are reminiscent or antecedent of the Liberal Revolution in 1820, with the objective of - through its allegory - leading the reader to a critical analysis of Portugal's social-political situation under António de Oliveira Salazar's dictatorship regime. Analyze appropriation forms and the elaboration of the distancing effect - characteristic elements in Brechtian theater - in these plays, as well as the relation between these plays and the political period marked by the Salazarian dictatorship. For that matter, our theoretical foundation is mainly made up by theories regarding Brecht's epic theater, considering them in the Portuguese theater context in the 1960s. / Mestre

Understanding Gilgamesh : his world and his storyDe Villiers, Gerda 07 March 2005 (has links)
Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – is to understand life brokenly. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the narrative of life. It records the full cycle of the nerve and aplomb of youth, of the doubt and crisis of midlife, of the acceptance and quiescience of maturity. Moreover, this understanding is a broken understanding. It starts with the clay tablets that are broken in a literal sense of the word. Further, the narrative is a narrative of broken-ness – the story ends in tears. A man has lost his last chance of obtaining life everlasting. Yet he manages to recuperate despite his failure. The first part of this thesis examined the world of Gilgamesh. Initially he was known as the Sumerian king Bilgames. He makes his appearance in the form of oral compositions that are recited or sung in the royal courts of kings during the Sumerian period: sheer entertainment, nothing really serious. At his side is his loyal servant Enkidu who supports his master in everything he does. Akkadian gradually ousts Sumerian as vernacular, yet the latter continues to dominate as the language of culture and court. Bilgames survives the reign of the Sargonic dynasty, and even revives during the glorious Ur III period of Shulgi and of Ur-Nammu. Sumerian Bilgames-poems are recorded in writing. However, by the time that Hammurapi draws up his legal codex, the Sumerian Bilgames is known as the vibrant Akkadian king Gilgamesh. His servant Enkidu is elevated to the status of friend. Together they defy men, gods, monsters. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh goes even further in search of life everlasting. He reaches Uta-napishtim the Distant in order to learn the secret of eternal life. The optimism of the Old Babylonian Kingdom is replaced by the reflection and introspection of the Middle period. Life is difficult. Life is complex. The Gilgamesh Epic is once again re-interpreted and supplemented by a prologue and an epilogue: both begin and end at the same place, at the walls of Uruk. Here Gilgamesh looks back and forward to his life and contemplates about the meaning of life in general. The second part of this thesis dealt more specifically with the story – the literary aspects of the Epic. Genette’s theory illuminated several interesting literary devices with regards to the rhythm and pace of the narrative. However, much of the reflective nature of the Epic was also revealed. There were moments of looking forward, and looking backward: after Gilgamesh broke down in tears at the end of the Epic, he suddely gained perspective on life. Somehow a broken narrative focused into a meaningful whole that may just make future sense. Jauss’s theory illuminated why Gilgamesh refuses to be forgotten, why he is once again alive and well in the twenty first century. Although he was buried in the ruins of Nineveh for a thousand plus years, he is suddenly back on the scene – and not for academic reasons only. Not only scholars of the Ancient Near East take an interest in the old Epic, but also people from all sectors of life. Somehow Gilgamesh seems to respond to questions that are asked even by those who understand nuclear physics – but who grapple with the paradox of living meaningfully. Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – understands life. / Thesis (DLitt)--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Ancient Languages / unrestricted

La représentation du Sarrasin dans Saint Louys ou la Sainte Couronne reconquise de Pierre Le Moyne (1602-1672) / the representation of the Saracen in Saint Louys ou la Sainte Couronne reconquise of Pierre Le Moyne (1602-1672)Al zurqua, Mohammed 13 December 2017 (has links)
Ce travail qui propose une étude sur la représentation du Sarrasin dans Saint Louys ou la Sainte Couronne reconquise de Pierre Le Moyne, nous permet de constater que l’Orient véhicule tout un imaginaire qui attire et repousse à la fois. Ainsi ce travail comporte-t-il non seulement l’étude des Sarrasins eux-mêmes, mais aussi celle de la religion qui leur est attribuée, de leur organisation politique, de leurs armes et de leur manière de combattre. Une partie importante de cette étude consiste à découvrir si les Sarrasins de Pierre Le Moyne sont un portrait réaliste ou imaginaire des Arabes en Egypte et en Syrie, des Turcs, ou des Perses…etc.Ainsi, ce que Pierre Le Moyne dit des Sarrasins et de leur religion permet de nous faire une idée non seulement du contexte historique de l’époque, mais aussi de la conception sociale et culturelle de l’Orient. Cette représentation de l’ennemi sarrasin nous permet aussi de bien comprendre les intentions du poète qui voient fleurir différentes stratégies pour affronter le danger sarrasin. / This work which proposes a study on the representation of the Saracen in Saint Louys ou la Sainte Couronne reconquise of Pierre Le Moyne, allows us to observe that the Orient carries an imaginary that attracts and repulses at the same time. this work involves not only the study of the Saracens themselves, but also the characteristics of the religion which are attributed to them. But also their political organization, their arms, and their way to fight. An important part of this study is to discover that the Saracens of Pierre Le Moyne are a realistic or imaginary portrait of the Arabs in Egypt and Syria, Turks, or Persians ... etc.We can ask what Pierre Le Moyne says about the Saracens and their religion gives us an idea not only of the historical context of the time, but also of the social and cultural conception of the East. This representation of the Saracen enemy also allows us to understand the intentions of the poet who sees different strategies flowing to face the danger of Saracen.
