Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, June 1993. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 206-218). / This dissertation discusses the architectural writings of Louisa Tuthill ( 1798-1879), a little known nineteenth-century American author. Tuthill has been acknowledged for her History of Architecture from the Earliest Times (1848), the first history of architecture published in the United States. However, her numerous other books dealing with architecture have been largely ignored. As early as 1830, Tuthill published Ancient Architecture, a concise history of architectural origins for young readers. This volume was followed by three fictional works for juveniles describing the adventures of model Americans--an architect, an artist and a landscape architect. Tuthill also edited The True and the Beautiful, the first American collection of selections from Ruskin's work (reprinted twenty three times). Like her famous contemporaries, Downing and Ruskin, Tuthill associates architectural principles with moral qualities. Her educational books move beyond the sophisticated architectural and social theory of such authorities by presenting aesthetic ideas in popular literary forms for the common reader. While a tradition of male architectural writers addressed eager builders and wealthy patrons, Tuthill wrote for the American public of all classes and ages. In contrast to the tradition of builders' guides and style books, Tuthill contributed histories, advice books, children's stories and edited collections. When the History is placed within the context of Tuthill's other writings r it becomes part of a larger plan for elevating national morals, a plan requiring education in architecture history. / by Sarah Allaback. / Ph.D.

During the 1860s in Paris, Edouard Manet and his circle transformed the style and content of art to reflect an emerging modernity in the social, political and economic life of the city. Manet's Olympia (1863) was foundational to the new manner of painting that captured the changing realities of modern life in Paris. One readily observable development of the period was the emergence of a small but highly visible population of free blacks in the city, just fifteen years after the second and final French abolition of territorial slavery in 1848. The discourse around Olympia has centered almost exclusively on one of the two figures depicted: the eponymous prostitute whose portrayal constitutes a radical revision of conventional images of the courtesan. This dissertation will attempt to provide a sustained art-historical treatment of the second figure, the prostitute's black maid, posed by a model whose name, as recorded by Manet, was Laure. It will first seek to establish that the maid figure of Olympia, in the context of precedent and Manet's other images of Laure, can be seen as a focal point of interest, and as a representation of the complex racial dimension of modern life in post-abolition Paris. It will then examine the continuing resonance and influence of Manet's Laure across successive generations of artists from Manet's own time to the present moment. The dissertation thereby suggests a continuing iconographic lineage for Manet's Laure, as manifested in iteratively modernizing depictions of the black female figure from 1870 to the present. Artworks discussed include a clarifying homage to Manet by his acolyte Frédéric Bazille; the countertypical portrayal by early modernist Henri Matisse of two principal black models as personifications of cosmopolitan modernity; the presentation by collagist Romare Bearden of a black odalisque defined by cultural, rather than sexual, attributes metaphoric of the cultural hybridity of African American culture; and direct engagement with Manet's depiction of Laure by selected contemporary artists, including Maud Sulter and Mickalene Thomas, often with imagery, materials and processes also influenced by Matisse or Bearden. In each case, the fitfully evolving modernity of the black female figure will be seen to emerge from each artist's fidelity to his or her transformative creative vision regardless of the representational norms of the day. The question of what, if anything, is represented by Manet's idiosyncratic depiction of the prostitute's black maid has seldom been comprehensively addressed by the histories of modern art. The small body of published commentary about Manet's Laure, with a few notable exceptions, generally dismisses the figure as meaning, essentially, nothing -- except as an ancillary intensifier of the connotations of immorality attributed to the prostitute. Manet's earlier portrait of Laure, rich in significations relevant to her portrayal in Olympia, is even more rarely discussed, and typically seen as a study for Olympia, rather than as a stand-alone portrait as this analysis suggests. The image of Laure as Olympia's maid is frequently oversimplified as a racist stereotype, a perspective that belies the metonymic implications of a figure that is simultaneously centered and obscured. It is in the extensive body of response to Laure's Olympia pose by artists, more than by historians, that the full complexity and enduring influence of the figure's problematic nuance can be seen. This dissertation, like the artists, takes its cues from the formal qualities of Manet's images of Laure, in the context of precedent images and the fraught racial interface within Manet's social and artistic milieu, to suggest new and revisionary narratives. It suggests that Manet's Laure can be seen as an early depiction of an evolving cultural hybridity among black Parisians- visible in Laure's placement, affect and attire--that took shape during the early years of the newly built northern areas of Paris that are today home to some of the largest black populations in central Paris. Within this context, an iconographic legacy of ambivalent yet innovative modernity can be asserted for the Laure figure -extending from Delacroix to Matisse, Bearden and beyond. This lineage can be seen as parallel to the long-established pictorial lineage for Manet's figuring of the prostitute Olympia. What is at stake is an art-historical discourse posed as an intervention with the prevailing historical silence about the representation and legacy of Manet's Laure, and by derivation about the significance of the black female muse to the formation of modernism. This analysis suggests that the black female figure is foundational to the evolving aesthetics of modern art. It suggests that Olympia's standing as a progenitor of modern painting can only be enhanced by breaking through the marginalization of Laure's representational legacy. It asserts that it is only when the bi-figural significance of Manet's Olympia is recognized that the extent and influence of Manet's radical modernity can be most fully understood.

It was searched, through the analysis of the texts of that author, focusing mostly his chronicles; identify how the writer positions himself facing the important ideas for the development of science of his period. It is worth emphasizing that the analyzed texts are contemporary to the spread of positivism in Brazil. In the last phase of his life, Comte created the Religion of Humanity known as religious positivism, whose ideas are expressed in his Positivist Catechism. In the mid-nineteenth century, these ideas became widespread in Brazil. In 1881, in Rio de Janeiro, under the direction by Miguel Lemos, was inaugurated the Positivist Church of Brazil, based on the precepts of the Religion of Humanity, founded by Auguste Comte. The religious temple became the place for meetings and debates of Republican and abolitionist adepts of positivism that is guided by the ideals of the Positivist Church. The Proclamation of the Republic and abolition, events influenced by positivism, were approached often by Machado de Assis / Machado de Assis abordou em seus escritos alguns aspectos do pensamento de Augusto Comte. Buscamos, através da análise dos textos do referido autor, focalizando principalmente suas crônicas, identificar a maneira como o escritor se posicionou frente às ideias importantes para o desenvolvimento da ciência de sua época. Cabe ressaltarmos que os textos analisados são contemporâneos à difusão do positivismo no Brasil. Na última fase de sua vida, Comte criou a Religião da Humanidade conhecida como Positivismo Religioso, cujas ideias se encontram expressas em seu Catecismo Positivista. Em meados do século XIX, essas ideias passaram a ser difundidas no Brasil. No Rio de Janeiro, em 1881, sob a direção de Miguel Lemos, foi inaugurada a Igreja Positivista do Brasil, baseada nos preceitos da Religião da Humanidade, instituída por Augusto Comte. O templo religioso passou a ser o local de encontros e debates dos republicanos e abolicionistas adeptos do positivismo que se guiavam pelos ideais da Igreja Positivista. A Proclamação da República e a abolição, acontecimentos influenciados pelo positivismo, foram abordados com frequência por Machado de Assis

Music scholars have long been trying to determine the major influences on the Ballades of Fryderyk Chopin. Some, like Karol Berger, have pointed to ideological influences of the Polish emigration in Paris, while others, like James Parakilas, have given credit to the generic characteristics of the European literary ballad. In my own view, however, the most salient extra-musical factor in the background to Chopin's Ballades are Ballady, a series of poems by the 19th century Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. / After Chopin's death, Mickiewicz's Ballady were frequently associated with Chopin's Ballades, and in the first chapter I demonstrate this by examining the reception history of these works. In the next chapter I analyze the ideology of the Polish emigration in Paris, including prominent themes of alienation, powerlessness, morbid anxiety, pilgrimage, and nostalgia, which were used by that expatriate society to identify itself. Finally, in the third chapter, I trace analogies between these themes and their manifestations in Mickiewicz's Ballady. This analysis of Mickiewicz's poems forms the basis of my interpretation of Chopin's Second Ballade, where I discuss how certain textual and thematic features of the poems taken as a group can be mapped onto the form and musical discourse of the piano piece. / In sum, although the associations between specific poems and Chopin's Ballades have been made by many authors, no one has distilled a single narrative archetype from the group of Mickiewicz's Ballady to apply to Chopin's works.

Ma thèse de doctorat s'intéresse aux représentations de la France dans l'Irlande nationaliste de 1879 à 1921. Mon analyse évolue autour du concept d'un " mythe français " construit en grande part dans les années 1840. Ce mythe imposa l'image d'une France ennemie de l'Angleterre et conséquemment alliée de l'Irlande et des nations opprimées. Cette approche introduit une nouvelle compréhension des relations du nationalisme irlandais avec la France et son mythe ; une relation qui influença la définition d'une idéologie nationaliste et la formation d'un ensemble de représentations où la France et ses images, utilisées au sein de la rhétorique nationaliste irlandaise au cours du 19e siècle, devint un modèle ainsi qu'une source d'inspiration et de fierté. Ceci permit aux nationalistes irlandais, en particulier séparatistes, de construire une version positive de leurs revendications qui ne serait plus seulement basée sur une lutte ancestrale contre l'Angleterre. C'est ce que cette thèse expose dans le cas d'Arthur Griffith, fondateur du Sinn Féin et inspiré par l'expérience franco-irlandaise de Maud Gonne, une virulente nationaliste irlandaise. Ce travail démontre également que le " mythe français " a eut une grande influence sur les politiques du nationalisme irlandais. Il se concentre tout particulièrement sur la " politique française " de Charles Stewart Parnell durant la " Land War " puis sur celle de John Redmond dans les années 1890, sur l'intense bataille rhétorique menée après la mort de Parnell entre parnelliens et anti-parnelliens, et sur les tensions entre pro et anti-alliés au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale

Entendendo que o ufanismo e o ressentimento são comportamentos humanos subjetivos, complexos e contraditórios, identifiquei inicialmente a sua manifestação no Brasil colonial nos embates entre “paulistas” e “forasteiros” na região das Minas Gerais (Guerra dos emboabas, 1708-1709). Posteriormente, entre 1768 e 1774, durante o governo de Dom Luis Antônio de Souza Botelho Mourão (Morgado de Mateus), na capitania de São Paulo analisei como a construção da história paulista não só retomava as pendências (culturais, sociais, políticas e jurídicas) da Guerra dos Emboabas, mas também se estruturava em ressentimentos pessoal, coletivo e político. Sob um novo enfoque, foi analisada a documentação de André João Antonil, o códice Matoso, os pressupostos dos historiadores Frei Gaspar da Madre de Deus, Pedro Taques de Almeida Paes Leme, Francisco Tossi Columbina, Cláudio Manuel da Costa, Theotônio José Juzarte e, finalmente, a documentação de Afonso Botelho de Sampaio e Souza que consta de relatórios militares, correspondências e poesias. Identificou-se nestas fontes que o ufanismo e o ressentimento eram sensibilidades em oposição e correspondência, e estavam ligadas a uma identidade paulista fundamentada na contradição e na negação da realidade colonial.

O presente trabalho pretende inventariar como Augusto Comte e seus discípulos brasileiros, que se interessaram especificamente sobre o assunto - Luís Pereira Barreto, Alberto Salles e Pedro Lessa - pensaram sobre o direito. Esse inventário mostrará que apesar de todos os pensadores em questão comungarem das mesmas idéias filosóficas positivas acabaram tendo um pensamento muito divergente sobre o direito. Para tanto, basta mencionar que enquanto Augusto Comte tinha por meta criticar uma determinada doutrina política que tinha como fundamento a teoria dos direitos subjetivos, seus discípulos brasileiros tinham por meta criticar certas teorias jurídicas que reputavam obsoletas em relação às ilusões que tinham dos progressos das ciências modernas. A crítica de Luís Pereira Barreto visava eliminar todo e qualquer direito, por reputá-lo um fenômeno tipicamente metafisico. Já Alberto Salles e Pedro Lessa pretendiam substituir esse direito ultrapassado por outro compatível com a doutrina positiva. Alberto Salles dizia que o direito era uma função social permanente, cuja tarefa seria a de coordenar as demais atividades sociais, semelhante ao sistema nervoso no organismo animal, razão pela qual, ao invés de eliminá-lo, deveria ser aperfeiçoado, propondo então a aplicação da lei dos três estados de Augusto Comte ao direito. Pedro Lessa, diferentemente, considerava o direito uma condição indispensável para a vida social cuja tarefa seria a de encontrar os meios voluntários adequados para a satisfação das exigências minimas que possibilitassem a vida e o desenvolvimento do indivíduo e da sociedade / Abstract: If Augusto Comte' s thought about right is not a void, it is certainly one of the obscure points in his complex system of philosophy. The present thesis intends to gather how Augusto Comte and his brazilían disciples, which were particulary interested about the subject -Luís Pereira Barreto, Alberto Salles e Pedro Lessa - thought about righí. This thesis will show that despite the fact that all the authors in question shared the same positive philosophy, they ended up having very divergent opinions about right. For that matter, it is enough to say that while Augusto Comte aimed to criticize a certain polítical doctrine that had its fundation on the theory of subjective right, his brazilian disciples aimed to criticize certain juridical theories which they thought obsolete in relation to the illusions that they had about the progress of modern science. The critic of Luís Pereira Barreto tends to eliminate all right, by placing it as a purely metaphysical fenomenon. Alberto Salles and Pedro Lessa, intended to replace this dated right by another one, one that is compatible with the positive doctrine. To Alberto Salles right was a permanent social function, whose task was to coordenate all other social activities, it was similar to the nervous system of an animal, and, in that sense, it should not be eliminated, but perfected, for that he proposed the application of the law of three states of Augusto Comte to righí. Pedro Lessa, on the other hand, considered right to be an indispensable condition to social lífe, and it' s task would be to find the adequate voluntary means to the satisfaction of minimal demands which would make the life and development of the individual and ofthe society possible / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia
