Samuel Taylor Coleridge used theories of evil and creation from Plato, Plotinus and Proclus to refine his definitions of the Trinity and the Absolute and Apostate Wills, and to move beyond the Germanic Naturphilosophie concept of self-hood as achieved by a self-objectification which emphasised differences between the persons of the Trinity rather than their similarities. His use of specific classical Greek concepts allowed him to propose that the Absolute Will�s self-substantiative act established unity and distinction as simultaneous and interrelated equals. From this, Coleridge investigated how identity and relationship rely upon unity and distinction, as he believed that identity is a unified self distinct from others, and that relationship is the unified common ground of many selves. My first chapter explains my methodology in dealing with Coleridge�s problematic relationship with both Greek and German sources, and describes how Coleridge�s philosophical investigations into evil and creation resulted from personal crises oyer his sense of self and sin. I provide an overview of the system Coleridge devised to address these concerns, concentrating upon the aspects which he believed clarified humanity�s status in relation to evil and the divine. I demonstrate how Coleridge accounts for the origin of the Apostate Will, and I explain his view of identity and relationships between the persons of the Trinity, providing a relevant overview that allows me to point out his use of the fundamental Greek concepts that anchor the subsequent chapters on Plato, Plotinus and Proclus. My second chapter examines Coleridge�s statement that Plato had formulated a triune creative principle, a concept critical to Coleridge�s need to unite God to the created universe. After describing the Platonic structure of reality and its divine creative act, I focus on the Platonic triad of Difference, Unity and Being. Plato�s account of these three principles and how they arise from the divine principle activity influences Coleridge�s view of the Trinity, what it contains in terms of distinction and unity, and how the Trinity arises from the superessential Absolute Will. I explain how Coleridge refined his definition of Christ as pleroma by referencing the way that the Form of the Good simultaneously exhibits plurality and identity. My third chapter shows how the Plotinian theory of the One�s will-based self-substantiation influenced Coleridge�s definition of the Absolute Will. I determine that Plotinus�s concept of heterotes (otherness) informs Coleridge�s view of the origin of evil, and I show how his concept of redemption is influenced by Plotinus�s account of noetic contemplation. My fourth chapter explains how Coleridge used the Proclian concept of Bound to develop the actualising quality of the Logos, in relation to Christ as a successful plurality but also in terms of Christ�s role in the redemption. My conclusion surveys all four philosophers to demonstrate how concepts drawn from Plato, Plotinus and Proclus helped Coleridge to define the Absolute Will and the way that its activity is the unity, distinction, identity and relationship of the Trinity. These three distinct yet related systems influenced Coleridge�s view of evil, as well as his understanding of the Absolute Will�s self-creative act, its relation to the Trinity, and the simultaneously fallen and divine status of humanity.

En 1882, le gouvernement Macdonald décide de créer à Paris, sur l'initiative de la province de Québec, un commissariat chargé de s'occuper des intérêts du Dominion du Canada en France. Dépourvu de reconnaissance officielle, le commissaire canadien à Paris devait encourager le commerce et le recrutement d'émigrants français.Le poste fut confié à Hector Fabre, sénateur et journaliste propriétaire de L'Événement. Pendant 28 ans celui-ci s'occupe à la fois des intérêts de la province de Québec et du Dominion en France. Son action à Paris se situe quelque part entre les relations publiques et la propagande. En 1884, il fonde la revue Paris-Canada. Organe officiel du commissariat canadien, mais également revue des Canadiens à Paris, Paris-Canada constitue une véritable chronique du rapprochement entre la France et le Canada à la fin du XIXe siècle. La revue porte sur l'immigration, la colonisation et le potentiel économique du Canada. Elle informe sur les questions qui touchent les relations franco-canadiennes comme la création d'une ligne de navigation directe et la négociation de traités de commerce. On n'hésite pas à justifier le rapprochement économique par des appels aux sentiments et à la solidarité culturelle des français. La diversité des sujets traités par la revue montre également que les Canadiens recherchent une forme de reconnaissance culturelle de la part de la France. Paris-Canada publie des extraits et de nombreux comptes rendus d'oeuvres littéraires. Elle consacre des articles aux visites d'hommes politiques canadiens en France, publie des résumés des fêtes franco-canadiennes et informe sur les diverses activités des Canadiens installés dans la capitale française. Surtout, elle permet de donner un point de vue canadien sur l'actualité politique du Dominion. Par ses éditoriaux, Hector Fabre, explique au public français les subtilités du lien colonial et donne son avis sur l'avenir de la nation canadienne. En somme, Paris Canada, revue française d'une population d'origine française vivant dans une colonie britannique, est à l'image des relations qui existent entre le Dominion et la France à la fin du XIXe siècle. Relations qui tiennent davantage du lien affectif que des intérêts économiques partagés. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Relations internationales, Hector Fabre, Paris, Canada, France Canada, Commerce, Immigration, Culture, XIXe siècle.

L'accroissement de plus en plus rapide de la population mondiale pousse un grand nombre de chercheurs à s'interroger sur les limites de la croissance. Dans le même ordre d'idée, cette recherche vise à comprendre la dynamique entourant l'économie et la démographie. Une analyse exhaustive des différents écrits d'économistes permet d'approfondir la connaissance sur ce sujet précis de même qu'à répondre à une question en particulier: Quelles politiques doivent être mises en place pour améliorer le sort des affamés? Thomas Robert Malthus est l'un des premiers à avoir remis en question l'efficacité d'un accroissement de la population. Sa critique de certains des thèmes clés du courant mercantilisme marque ainsi le commencement d'une analyse privilégiant le bonheur individuel sur celui de la nation. Après s'être penché sur les différentes propositions développées par Malthus dans ses Essais sur le principe de population, il s'avère possible d'examiner l'influence qu'il a eue sur deux autres économistes, soit John Maynard Keynes et Karl Gunnar Myrdal. La présente étude analyse ainsi les idées de Keynes et de Myrdal quant à la relation économie-démographie. Bien que Keynes et Myrdal aient modifié au fil du temps leur vision quant à un accroissement démographique, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'ils conservèrent un argumentaire basé sur les théories malthusiennes. Après avoir examiné les différentes politiques démographiques proposées par ces économistes, une dernière section permet de prendre conscience des développements récents dans l'économie de la population. De plus, les politiques proposées par Malthus, Myrdal et Keynes sont analysées dans une perspective contemporaine où l'Inde et la Chine occupent une place prépondérante. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : John Maynard Keynes, Thomas Robert Malthus, néo-malthusianisme, Karl Gunnar Myrdal, population, redistribution des revenus

It is regarded as even more ambitious when the celebrations intend to create or reinforce identity bonds inside of a political community. The participation of Ceará in The Confederation of the Equator was suitable as source of creation to that moment. Memories of that political event occurred in 1824 and it has been resumed in the first years of Proclamation of Republic of Brazil, by means of some political actions of memory, several readings and interpretations had been formulated from that event. The year of 1924 is marked by the turn of the century. A century later what possibly remains as vestige of political fights in those first moments of Brazil’s post-independence? Which characters have been part of The Confederation of the Equator in Ceará and have been recognized as cearense heroes? Which gaps had been used deliberately to eternize those event memories? And what about historical production, what is its role in this process? Researching on books, newspapers, magazines, almanacs, and public places intend to elaborate some considerations concerning to this relation between politics and prior memories. / As ações comemorativas convidam os indivíduos de um determinado grupo ou sociedade a rememorar determinados fatos passados coletivamente. Medida ainda mais ambiciosa quando as comemorações buscam criar ou reforçar laços de identidade dentro de uma comunidade política. A participação do Ceará na Confederação do Equador serviu para criar um momento desses. As memórias daquele evento político ocorrido no ano de 1824 foram retomadas em meados da década de 1920 durante o regime republicano no Brasil, e por meio de algumas ações de políticas da memória, diversas leituras e interpretações daquele evento foram formuladas. O ano de 1924 é marcado pela passagem centenária. Um século depois quais os possíveis significados das lutas políticas daqueles primeiros momentos do pós-independência do Brasil? Quais as personagens que fizeram parte da Confederação do Equador no Ceará e passaram a ser identificadas como heróis cearenses? Quais espaços foram utilizados para pretensamente eternizar as memórias daquele evento? E a produção histórica, qual o seu lugar nesse processo? Investigando livros, jornais, revistas, almanaques e lugares públicos busca-se elaborar algumas considerações a respeito dessa relação entre políticas e memórias.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Estudios Culturales Latinoamericanos / Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Esta investigación analiza la crítica social y la gestión cultural realizada por Maipina de la Barra Lira (1834-1904), reconstruyendo su biografía y desarrollando un estudio de su obra, principalmente en torno a dos ejes de análisis. El primero de ellos indaga las estrategias discursivas contenidas en su libro de memorias de viajes, publicado el año 1878 en Buenos Aires bajo el títuloMis impresiones y mis vicisitudes en mi viaje a Europa pasando por el Estrecho de Magallanes y en mi escursión [sic] a Buenos Aires pasando por la cordillera de los Andes. El objetivo es comprender las formas en que la autora construyó una crítica social fundamentada en la necesidad de la educación de la mujer, a partir de su libro de memorias de viajes por América y Europa, ofreciendo a sus lectores un "efecto de realidad" necesario para fundamentar sus posiciones. El segundo eje de análisis explora la participación y gestión en diversos proyectos culturales, por parte de la autora, con posterioridad al viaje a Europa del año 1873-1874, específicamente abordando sus conferencias públicas a favor de la instrucción de la mujer, su participación en el movimiento espiritista, en logias masónicas y en la creación musical. Esto tiene el objetivo de comprender sus acciones culturales, vanguardistas para la época.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica mención Lingüistica / La investigación que aquí ofrecemos se plantea como un estudio de carácter exploratorio en torno a las ideas concernientes a la interrelación entre lenguaje y educación entre distintos ideólogos del Siglo XIX chileno. En ese ámbito, se pretende revisar y describir en un grupo específico de autores sus ideas tanto lingüísticas como educativas relacionadas con los contextos sociopolíticos en los que fueron producidas considerando especialmente la influencia de las ideas de Andrés Bello. El análisis se perfila además como un análisis discursivo centrado en el contenido y trabajado con un enfoque estrictamente cualitativo. En ese sentido debemos, en primer lugar, entender el Siglo XIX chileno a partir de su carácter transformador. Nos enfrentamos a un contexto de profundos cambios que inician con las independencias de la América hispana y que se van desarrollando en todos los ámbitos humanos. A partir de aquello, ponemos el interés en ese contexto de construcción nacional, en el que las diferentes ideas lingüístico-educativas se pusieron en diálogo, configurando así el inicio de una lingüística pre-científica chilena y un sistema nacional de educación que estuvieron fuertemente ligados entre sí. Para abordar los elementos mencionados en un contexto tan complejo y dinámico se utilizarán los conceptos de ideología y actitudes lingüísticas, siguiendo las definiciones de Gee, Van Dijk, Kroskity, Milroy, entre otros. Asimismo, para tales fines recurrimos a los estudios de Coseriu sobre corrección idiomática y lengua estándar. El manejo de dichos conceptos nos permitirá comprender en profundidad las ideas que fueron barajadas durante ese siglo y entenderlas desde una perspectiva historiográfico-lingüística.

Sarmiento (1811-1888) e José Hernández (1834-1886), fundamentais na história da literatura argentina devido ao intenso debate que seus escritos promovem desde o século XIX, suscita a reflexão sobre as manifestações artísticas e estratégias discursivas desprendidas em Facundo: civilização e barbárie (1845) e Martín Fierro (1872/79), reveladoras de um fervoroso universo simbólico em meio às disputas políticas do período pós-independência. As diferentes acepções sobre gaúchos e indígenas encontradas em cada texto são representativas da heterogeneidade dos projetos civilizacionais oitocentistas, diversidade esta que encontramos em Sarmiento e Hernández na análise de suas perspectivas sobre a intelectualidade argentina, a expressão política relativa ao campo e à cidade, os projetos e rumos civilizatórios para novo país, a adoção de símbolos nacionais, entre outras. Na abordagem aqui proposta, política e cultura se encontram e rompem as forjadas assimetrias entre esses dois autores, indicando na complexa formação do discurso nacional argentino o esforço de manutenção das premissas civilizacionais do século XIX dentre a historiografia até os dias de hoje. Dessa forma, deslocar as análises de Facundo e Martín Fierro com na inserção da temática indígena, por exemplo, é pensar as fissuras de um discurso que homogeneíza o passado da Argentina / Abstract: The studies of gauchesco literary gender to analyze Domingo F. Sarmiento (1811-1888) and José Hernández (1834-1886) oeuvres, which are the bed rock of Argentinean Literary, due to the intense debate that their writings allow since the middle 19th century, raise some reflections about the artistic out comes and the reasoning strategies used in Facundo: civilization y barbarism (1845) and Martín Fierro (1872-1879), both revealing a vivid symbolical universe during the post-independence political period. The different conceptions about gauchos and indigenous people found in each writing also represent the heterogeneity of 19th century civilizing projects, whose diversity is found in Sarmiento and Hernández's perspectives about: the Argentinean intellectuality, the political representation related to the countryside and the city, the civilizational directions to the fresh born nation, the usage of national symbols and so on. In this approach, culture and politics intersect themselves and clash the asymmetries forged between this two authors, pointing the complex formation of Argentinean national discourse and the effort in preserving the 19h century civilizational assumptions among historiography up to date. Thereby, displacing Facundo and Martín Fierro's analysis, by adding the indigenous thematic for instance, is thinking the disruptions in a discourse that standardize the Argentinean past / Mestrado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Mestra em História

This study challenges Charles Lamb's 1811 essay "On the Tragedies of Shakespeare, Considered with Reference to their Fitness for Stage Representation," which argues that Shakespeare's plays are better suited for reading than stage production. Each of the four chapters considers a specific argument Lamb raises against the theatre and the particular Shakespearean tragedy used to illustrate his point. The Hamlet chapter examines the supposed concessions involved in the actor/audience relationship. The Macbeth chapter challenges Lamb's Platonic view of Shakespearean characterization. The Othello chapter considers whether some characters and images, while acceptable to the reader's imagination, are improper on stage. Finally, the King Lear chapter considers the portrayal of the mind in the theatre, employing semiotic principles to examine the actor's expressive resources.

The purpose of this study was to provide a biography of Leonard John Nuttall. Special emphasis has been given to his contributions to Church and civic affairs.
