L’objectif de la thèse était de réaliser la première édition critique du manuscrit français 9198 de la BnF attribué à Jehan Miélot et commandité, au XVe siècle, par Philipe le Bon, duc de Bourgogne. Ce manuscrit contient la compilation intitulée : La Vie et miracles de Nostre Dame qui constitue la mise en prose de miracles en vers du XIIIe siècle. D’un point de vue philologique, le but était d’étudier le rapport entre les formes des textes versifiés en ancien français et les formes en moyen français de la compilation. Le travail philologique comprend la transcription du manuscrit, un apparat critique, un glossaire, un index lemmatisé, l’index des noms propres et une analyse grammaticale des traits dialectaux de l’œuvre qui reflètent la phonétique du dialecte picard. La problématique sur laquelle repose cette recherche est double. D’un point de vue philologique, il est question d’éclairer le rapport entre les formes anciennes, qu’offrent les textes versifiés en ancien français du XIIIe siècle, et les formes modernes en moyen français du recueil de Jehan Miélot. En puisant des exemples à la fois dans les récits de miracles versifiés du XIIIe siècle et dans la compilation du XVe siècle, cette étude permet de situer le recueil dans le contexte de la tradition médiévale des récits miraculaires de la Vierge Marie

Les quarante "Miracles de Nostre Dame par personnages" constituent l'immense majorité du corpus dramatique de langue française du XIVe siècle. Malgré cette importance historique majeure, ces pièces n'ont jusqu'à aujourd'hui pas fait l'objet d'une étude littéraire spécifique. Victimes du manque de légitimité poétique que l'on prête au théâtre médiéval en général, mais aussi tributaires de leur apparente simplicité, ces drames présentent pourtant de nombreuses similarités qui témoignent de l'homogénéité stylistique du corpus. Envisageant tour à tour le corpus en tant que texte, spectacle et livre, le présent travail vise donc à rendre raison de sa concertation dramaturgique. L'étude se donne d'abord pour objet de repérer les lois implicites du recueil : tandis qu'une analyse en synchronie permet de dégager les lois structurelles et discursives du corpus, une étude en diachronie permet de comprendre ses lois de composition, élaborées au fil du temps et des expériences scéniques. C'est finalement dans le dialogue incessant entre la scène et les spectateurs que s'élabore la spécificité du Miracle dramatique, dont la dramaturgie propose une approche singulièrement subtile de son public. Cette relation étroite entre la scène et les spectateurs se poursuit lors du passage des pièces de l'espace scénique à l'espace du livre. Mises en drame, en scène et en texte, ces quarante histoires miraculeuses offrent finalement l'évidence de la profonde cohérence de leurs transpositions successives. Témoignages de la vocation éducative des confréries, elles s'avèrent être de riches et étonnants objets de théâtre, dont la portée esthétique ne s'est pas tout à fait éteinte. / The forty "Miracles de Nostre Dame par personnages" stand for the immense majority of the dramatic French-language corpus of the fourteenth century. Despite this major historical importance, these plays have not been the subject of a specific literary study. Despised for the lack of poetic legitimacy attributed to medieval theater in general and for their apparent simplicity, these dramas present many similarities which show the evidence of the stylistic homogeneity of the corpus. Considering in turns the corpus as a text, a show and a book, this work aims to reveal the dramaturgical project behind the plays. First of all, this study intends to identify the implicit laws of the collection. A synchronic analysis allows to identify the structural and discursive laws of the corpus, while a diachronic study reveal its laws of composition, created by succesives scenic experiences. Finally, the specificity of the dramatic Miracle appears to be based on this constant dialogue between the stage and its audience. This close relationship continues as the pieces move from the stage space to the book space. Dramas, stagings and texts, these forty miraculous stories offer the evidence of the deep coherence of their successive transpositions. As these plays are proofs of the brotherhoods' educational vocation, they turn out to be amazing theater objects, whose aesthetic significance has not quite extinguished.

Jesus was a healer, but what may not be as obvious is that he started a legacy of healing. He passed on his skills and abilities to his followers at least three times. Though not as frequently, they continued to heal through the Book of Acts. The legacy continued in the Apocryphal Acts and other apocryphal materials spanning the early centuries of the common era. Secondary literature looks at modern scholarship and leans heavily into Rabbinic literature. Up to this point, other English-language works in healing have sorely lacked luster in providing. The exploration of the healing legacy of Jesus shifted to meet the skills and needs of the healers, patients, and communities involved. Further, the healings had a substantive resultant impact on various levels of socioeconomics for the parties, which is explored by reexamining each group type of healings, from lameness and paralytics to possession and resurrection, and more. The hope is that taking a holistic approach to these healings as possible will allow readers a new way of experiencing the early common era and these events that permeated everyone's lives at one time or another.

Reading the Fourth Gospel, one is struck by the amount of talk about Jesus. Many of the reports in John describing such talk reflect the social process of gossip in concert with other processes and dynamics involved in constituting social personages in the ancient Mediterranean world. Although there have been a few general treatments of gossip in the New Testament, none have focused on the subject of the gossip in John’s gospel, Jesus, the generative cause of the emergence of gossip traditions. The aim of this research project is to explore how gossip is involved in constituting Jesus as a shamanic figure in the Fourth Gospel. Building on the research of Pieter F. Craffert, and thus beginning with understanding Jesus as a shamanic figure, a viable framework for identifying and explaining features and functions of gossip is constructed after considering sociolinguistic studies and a number of ethnographies of extant traditional cultures of the Mediterranean. The framework is then brought to bear on texts in the Fourth Gospel reporting or describing gossip, in order to see how gossip contributes to constituting Jesus as a shamanic figure. As a result, this research offers a significant contribution to New Testament studies as it 1) represents an exploration and appropriation of gossip that has scarcely been exploited in the field, 2) provides a viable theoretical framework for positioning gossip vis-à-vis other pivotal first-century Mediterranean social values and processes, 3) models a new way to see and understand John’s gospel, and 4) is suggestive of an alternative to the reigning paradigm of conventional historical Jesus research in that it involves linking literary features about oral phenomena in John to a historically plausible figure thoroughly embedded in his social, cultural, and historical world. / New Testament / D.Th.

The Marian songs of Sepekov is the title for a handwritten Hymnal, which nobody comprehensivly examined and never publish. I discovered this manuscript when I was researching materials for my Bacherol thesis. The hymnal contains 489 czech-language pages from which I composed 43 songs with the organs accompaniment or songs in a four-part adjustment. The transcript od melodic line, next processing of melody and composition of polyphony give the readers an insight into the period of the formation of manuscript and it zooms miracles for which the manuscript was created. The historical events, which were accured in 18th century in Sepekov and were an integral part of the life of people from sepekov, are component of Marian songs. The whole Hymnal is built on devotion, supplication, prayers and the love of the pilgrims to Pana Marie from Sepekov. The pilgrimages, which they performed to this marian's place, were a seal of approval of their belief and it was culmination of their spiritual life for most of them.

It seeks to show the importance of faith and devotion of hundreds of devotees who inhabit the forests and towns in the Acre River Valley. It also intends to present the various manners those rubber tappers have found to overcome daily difficulties, such as diseases, dangers in the forest, attacks by poisonous animals, and falls from trees or bridges. This research, though grounded in popular religiousness, shows the fragility or the mere state of abandonment of the in-forest inhabitants, and it thus justifies the search to understand the reasons that lead them to turn to faith and popular devotion in order to find ways to overcome daily difficulties and the absence of government assistance. It entertains the hypothesis that those devotees find meaning and reason to life through their faith in Santa Raimunda (Saint Raimunda), and in the protection She offers. Interviews and direct contacts with them during pilgrimages in the varadouros (small roads in rubber plantations), beads, and homage at Santa Raimunda´s tomb gave us the opportunity to gather rich and important data. The results show that the devotion to Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso (Saint Raimunda of Good Success) kept and still keeps the devotees men and women ready for their daily struggles, giving meaning to their lives and renewing their hopes. Devotion provided them strength to live in the rubber plantations as long as possible, and continues to support their lives in the periphery of the capital city of Rio Branco / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a trajetória devocional de seringueiros do vale do rio Acre, que ao longo de várias décadas conseguiram ressignificar a devoção popular que trouxeram do nordeste brasileiro, dando assim um novo sentido para suas vidas, por meio da fé. Devoção que já se faz presente há algumas décadas, dentro e fora dos seringais acreano. Objetiva-se mostrar a fé e a devoção de centenas de devotos que habitam as florestas e as cidades do vale do rio Acre, pois encontraram na devoção à Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso, uma maneira de dignificar suas vidas. Pretende-se, ainda, apresentar as diversas maneiras encontradas para superar as dificuldades diárias, sejam elas doenças, perigos existentes na floresta, ataques de animais peçonhentos, quedas de árvores ou pontes. A pesquisa, embora fundamentada na religiosidade popular, mostra a situação de fragilidade ou até mesmo abandono dos habitantes que residem dentro da floresta, o que justifica pesquisar as causas que os levam a buscar na fé e na devoção popular maneiras para superar as dificuldades do dia a dia e a ausência do Estado. Sustenta-se a hipótese de que os devotos encontram sentido e razão para viver, por meio da fé e da proteção de Santa Raimunda. Entrevistas, contatos com os devotos na peregrinação, no varadouro, na reza dos terços e junto à sepultura, prestando homenagem à Santa Raimunda, possibilitaram uma rica coleta de dados. Os resultados da pesquisa atestam que a devoção em Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso manteve e mantém seus devotos, homens e mulheres, nas suas lutas diárias, dando sentido e renovando a esperança. A devoção deu a eles força para viverem e resistirem o quanto puderam nos seringais e continua sustentando, cotidianamente, suas vidas nas periferias da cidade de Rio Branco para encontrar saídas aos seus problemas, nas brechas existentes na devoção popular de Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso

An academic study on this book is justified considering its worldwide impact, two and a half million copies of this book having been sold to the present date. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that “A Course in Miracles” could be regarded as a gnostic work, when considered the fundamental similarities between the religious movement of the beginning of the Christian era and this book. Aiming at demonstrating the common points between both, Hans Jonas and Kurt Rudolph are resorted to, as theoretical reference regarding gnosticism, and Kenneth Wapnick, as reference to the analysis of “A Course in Miracles” / A presente dissertação apresenta a obra “Um Curso em Milagres”, publicada pela primeira vez em 1976 pela Foundation for Inner Peace (Fundação para a Paz Interior) nos Estados Unidos. Justifica-se um estudo sobre essa obra visto seu impacto global, tendo sido vendidos mais de 2 milhões e meio de cópias, com traduções para mais de doze línguas. A hipótese com a qual se trabalha é a de que “Um Curso em Milagres” poderia classificar-se como um livro gnóstico, considerando-se semelhanças fundamentais entre o movimento do início da Era Cristã e esta obra. Com o intuito de se demonstrar os pontos em comum entre ambos, são utilizados os autores Kurt Rudolph e Hans Jonas, como referencial teórico para o gnosticismo, e Kenneth Wapnick, como referencial para a análise da obra “Um Curso em Milagres”

Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera sportfilmen som genre och se hur denna genre konstruerar nationell identitet på nationell och lokal nivå. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka hur en sporthändelse televiseras, dokumenteras respektive fiktionaliseras. Jag har genomfört en jämförande analys av likheter och skillnader mellan mer dokumenterande genrer och fiktion. Jag har analyserat skillnaderna mellan den TV-sända hockeymatchen vid OS 1980 mellan USA och Sovjet (även kallad ”Miracle on Ice” eftersom USA vann matchen mot de på förhand tippade som helt överlägsna Sovjet), dokumentären om matchen, Do You Believe in Miracles från 2001, och fiktionsfilmen Miracle från 2004 som bygger på nämnda match.   Det resultat jag kommit fram till är att både dokumentären och filmen om matchen är uppbyggda för att förstärka den amerikanska patriotismen. Genom att spela på nostalgi och gamla minnen ämnar båda filmerna, som kom i en för USA orolig tid att få det amerikanska folket att känna stolthet igen, på samma sätt som de gjorde efter att de vann mot Sovjet. För att ytterligare förstärka stolthetskänslorna har fiktionsfilmen Miracle även ändrat på en hel del i skildringen av själva matchen för att få USA att framstå som mer hårt arbetande, ärligare och bättre än de egentligen var. Även händelser utanför isen är ändrade eller tillagda för att ge filmens tittare ännu mer att känna stolthet för.
