Résumé Michael Osvald Thun's art commissions - inseparable part of a baroque aristocrat's image in the second half of the 17th century The dissertation deals with the art commissions of wealthy count Michael Osvald Thun who represents one of key builders in Bohemia in the second half of the 17th century. Beside buildings, an emphasis is also placed on other categories of art commissions, for example collections of sculptures and paintings. In the introduction, I define a terminology and summarize an existing research in the field of aristocrat art commissions. The next part analyses used sources, primary and secondary, dealing with history of the house of Thun, its financial standing, and person of Michael Osvald Thun. The fourth part is dedicated directly to Michael Osvald Thun, where I describe his family situation, upbringing, education process and adulthood. He was raised with respect to family values, public duty and administration of the family property that was a prerequisite for art commissions. The fifth part compares Thun's art commissions with art commissions of his siblings. Some of them hold significant bishop and archbishop posts. This helps up uncover ties and positional interactions between different art commissioners. The sixth part is focused on Michael Osvald Thun's art commissions where...

Ce mémoire porte sur l’analyse de la place des morts dans les rivalités entre catholiques et protestants dans la France de l’édit de Nantes, telles qu’elles transparaissent dans les quelques 3 660 pages en 5 volumes du pasteur Élie Benoist, L’Histoire de l’édit de Nantes contenant les choses les plus remarquables qui se sont passées en France avant et après sa publication, à l’occasion de la diversité des Religions : Et principalement les Contraventions, Inexecutions, Chicanes, Artifices, Violences, & autres Injustices, que les Réformez se plaignent d’y avoir souffertes, jusques à l’édit de révocation en Octobre 1685. Avec ce qui a suivi ce nouvel Édit jusques à présent aux attaques perpétrées par les catholiques (1693-1695). Ce travail s’intéresse donc à un sujet peu ou superficiellement traité par les historien.ne.s de la mort – le traitement des morts et des cimetières protestants par les catholiques pendant la période de l’application de l’édit de Nantes. Dans le chapitre I, le bilan historiographique de l’histoire de la mort permet d’exposer le contexte intellectuel et émotif dont témoignent les références aux morts et aux cimetières dans l’œuvre du pasteur Benoist. À première vue, ces références semblent éparpillées dans la surabondance de détails que donne Benoist afin de dénoncer les persécutions commises contre les protestants français entre les guerres de Religion et la révocation de l’édit de Nantes. Or dans le chapitre II, nous découvrons que ces témoignages s’insèrent dans un plan précis qui permet au pasteur d’asseoir sur des preuves solides son argumentation. Afin de saisir dans leur entièreté la construction du récit de Benoist et les méthodes qu’il utilise pour transmettre sa pensée, nous proposons une division de son œuvre en dix périodes, séparées par des événements marquant des ruptures dans l’évolution de l’application de l’édit. Nous comprendrons alors qu’en utilisant une méthodologie historique rigoureuse, quoiqu’empreinte de procédés rhétoriques tendant aux généralisations, Élie Benoist présenta sa vision spécifique de la période et la défendit par les traces de l’histoire. À partir de ces informations, nous pourrons analyser en profondeur, dans le chapitre III, les différentes agressions infligées aux morts huguenots et montrer les différences existant entre celles perpétrées par l’État, celles des membres du clergé et celles de la population en général. Ce faisant, nous constaterons que la volonté de Benoist était non seulement de faire l’apologie de la coexistence confessionnelle que garantissait l’édit de Nantes mais encore, par la litanie des plaintes contre le traitement catholique des morts protestants, d’en appeler peut-être à la résistance de ses contemporains protestants. / This master’s thesis analyses the place that the dead occupied in the rivalries that took place between Catholics and Protestants in France under the Edict of Nantes. It will be studied through the 3,660 pages of pastor Élie Benoist’s L’Histoire de l’édit de Nantes contenant les choses les plus remarquables qui se sont passées en France avant et après sa publication, à l’occasion de la diversité des Religions : Et principalement les Contraventions, Inexecutions, Chicanes, Artifices, Violences, & autres Injustices, que les Réformez se plaignent d’y avoir souffertes, jusques à l’édit de révocation en Octobre 1685. Avec ce qui a suivi ce nouvel Édit jusques à présent aux attaques perpétrées par les catholiques (1693-1695). This research will thus investigate a subject which has only been superficially studied by the historians of death: the treatment of Protestant dead and cemeteries by the Catholics during the period of application of the Edict of Nantes. In the first chapter, the historiographic assessment of the history of death gives a better understanding of the intellectual and emotional context of Benoist’s references to the dead and to cemeteries. At first glance, they seem to be lost in the overabundance of details that Benoist puts forward to condemn the persecutions that the French Protestants had to suffer between the Wars of Religion and the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. But in chapter two, we discover that these testimonies are part of a larger plan that allows the pastor to build his argument on solid evidence. In order to fully grasp the construction of Benoist’s story and the methods he uses to communicate his thoughts, we decided to divide his work in ten periods, separated by events that led to a change in the application of the Edict. We will then be able to understand that, by using a rigorous historic methodology, though marked by rhetorical process that tended toward generalisations, Élie Benoist managed to offer his personal vision of the period, and to defend it through traces of history. Based on this information, we will be able, in chapter three, to study in depth the different aggressions inflicted to Huguenot dead and to show the difference between the aggressions committed by the state, the church and the population. In doing so, we will see that Benoist’s will was not only to promote the value of confessional coexistence, but also, by the litany of the complaints against the Catholic treatment of Huguenot dead, to maybe call his Protestant contemporaries to resistance.

The thesis was conducted as the master thesis for a Master's in innovation and design. The aim of this thesis was to investigate in what ways scent can be used as an olfactory stimulation within exhibitions and to access the possible effects that occur from bridging historical contexts with scent within the exhibitions – as a tool for embodied storytelling. The olfactory study focuses on Leksmedjan Smetuna in Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna. The thesis theoretical framework presents theories on sense of smell, museum experiences, storytelling, and embodied storytelling. A space analysis and a qualitative interview with a museum pedagogue at Västermanland´s county museum. An observational smellscape with different scented elements is conducted as well, with visiting children at Leksmedjan Smetuna in Rademachersmedjorna – where children get the chance to experience historical scents from the 17th century, through their sense of smell. This with the aim to visualize the physical-, emotional- and social effects that occur during children´s sensory museum experiences. The scented elements for the observational smellscapes were designed and produced during the thesis design process and are based on theoretical and empirical data collection. The results of the thesis bring forth important perspectives regarding children´s sensory museum experiences that incorporate scented elements. / Examensarbetet genomförs som ett examensarbete för en Master i innovation och design. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka på vilka sätt doft kan användas som luktstimulering inom utställningar, samt att visualisera möjliga effekter som uppstår genom att överbrygga historiska sammanhang med hjälp av doft inom utställningar – som ett verktyg för embodied storytelling. Doftstudien fokuserar på Leksmedjan Smetuna i Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna. Studiens teoretiska ramverk presenterar teorier om människans luktsinne, museiupplevelser, storytelling med en fördjupning av embodied storytelling. Studiens empiriska metodarbete utgörs av en rumsanalys och en kvalitativ intervju med en museipedagog på Västermanlands länsmuseum. Metodarbetet inkluderar även en observerande smellscapes med besökande barn på Leksmedjan Smetuna i Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna – där barnen får chansen att uppleva historiska dofter från 1600-talet, genom sitt luktsinne. Detta i syfte att visualisera de fysiska-, emotionella- och sociala effekterna som uppstår under barns sensoriska museiupplevelser av studiens doftelement. Doftelementen som ingår i studiens observerade smellscapes, designades och producerades under studiens designprocess och baseras på den teoretisk och empirisk datainsamling. Studiens resultat lyfter fram viktiga perspektiv på barns sensoriska museiupplevelser som innehåller doftelement.

This study is an attempt to shed some light on the treatment of one dissonance—the seventh—in the works of the following composers: Cipriano de Rore (1516-1565); Philippe de Monte (1521-1603); Giaches de Wert (1535-1596); Luca Marenzio (1553-1599); Carlo Gesualdo (ca. 1560-1613); and Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). The purpose of this thesis is to discover (1) the frequency of occurrence of primary (relatively accented) sevenths and their inversions (^ chords, etc.) in a selection of each composer's madrigals; and (2) the methods of handling sevenths employed by each composer, with particular emphasis on the relationship between these methods and sixteenth century theory.
