In seventeenth-century France a new type of theatre was established to correspond to the ideals and taste of the dominant social group. As part of the process a particular ideal was forged for the new-style actor. Moulded by classical writings on acting and actors which suggested that the; style of serious, cultured acting operated within the same aesthetic as that of oratorical delivery, this ideal similarly identified refined acting with principles of pronuntiatio and the bienséance acceptable in contemporary formal discourse As a result of this identification no separate art of acting was considered necessary in seventeenth-century France, the rules and principles of expression of emotion in oratorical delivery being accepted as valid for serious acting. It is to these rules and. principles therefore that recourse must be made if the style of seventeenth-century acting and the approach of the actor at this period are to be appreciated. Study of seventeenth-century French treatises on oratorical delivery indicates the extent to which expression of emotion was considered to require study and practise of basic principal which would enable the speaker to evoke a particular passion by appropriately moving tones and accompanying gesture, and yet at the same time remain within a socially-acceptable range. Interpretation of seventeenth-century writings Oil actors and acting in light of these principles highlights the declamatory nature of serious acting of this period. The actor was understood to approach his role with a view to representing and thus exciting passions through effective vocal variation and suitably decorous accompanying gesture (body-language). Attention was focused upon the actor's voice, upon his moving tones and cadences, and upon the grace with which he used his body to reinforce such emotional portrayal. During the eighteenth century this conception-of acting and the style it had produced were called into question. Acting began to evolve its own aesthetic, an aesthetic based upon impersonation of character through personal identification and experience of the effects of emotion in real life. Study of rules to regulate emotional expression and imitation of the best models were abandoned in favour of cultivation of artistic sensibility: recourse to the imagination and personal sensitivity. In the process emphasis shifted from the voice to non-linguistic ways of showing feeling on the stage, and gestural expression released itself from subjection to social bienséance and enriched its range and potential. Evidence of these trends as well as fidelity to or reaction against principles of bienséance may be traced in writings on acting and delivery of the first half of the eighteenth century. At the beginning of the century acting theory was still rooted in and patterned on the model of pronuntiatio. By 1750 it had established its worth as an independent art with principles more directly based upon the dramatic experience.

A partir da segunda metade do século XVIII, novas diretrizes referentes a essas questões foram definidas no âmbito do reformismo ilustrado pombalino (1750-1777). A promulgação das leis de 6 e 7 de junho de 1755 e do alvará com força de lei de 8 de maio de 1758 indicavam mudanças significativas em termos da política a ser seguida e no tocante ao papel da Igreja, com consequências importantes quanto à atividade desempenhada pelo clero regular. Após a abolição da jurisdição temporal e espiritual dos religiosos sobre os índios e a transformação das aldeias em vilas, um número crescente de agentes civis e militares passou a ocupar o lugar deixado pelos religiosos, assumindo o papel de “civilizadores” dos índios. Simultaneamente, o verbo civilizar e o substantivo civilidade – presentes na legislação da década de 1750 – passaram a figurar com destaque cada vez maior no discurso colonial, deixando em segundo plano as noções de “catequese”, “conversão” e “cristianização” dos povos nativos. O propósito deste trabalho é discutir o impacto dessas mudanças na capitania da Bahia, buscando percebê-las como parte da configuração de um novo modelo político e religioso ancorado na ideia de “civilização dos índios”. Throughout the colonial period, different conceptions about the indigenous peoples and their catechesis have been formulated and put into practice in Portuguese America. From the second half of the eighteenth century, the Marquis of Pombal’s enlightened reformism (1750-1777) has placed new guidelines regarding these issues. The enactment of the laws of June 6-7, 1755 and the legal charter of May 8, 1758 pointed out significant changes in the policy to be followed as well as in the role of the Church, with important consequences on the activities of the regular clergy. After the abolition of temporal and spiritual jurisdiction of the Church over the Indians and the transformation of villages into towns, an increasing number of civilians and militaries have began to assume the role of “civilizing” the Indians. Simultaneously, to civilize and civility – recurrent terms in the 1750s legislation – became more prominent in the colonial discourse, putting aside concepts as “catechesis”, “conversion” and “Christianization” of Indians. The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss the impact of these changes in the captaincy of Bahia, considering them as part of a new political and religious model grounded in the idea of “civilization of the Indians”. / Salvador

No contexto da crise do Antigo Regime, as nações européias acirravam suas relações, provocando várias reformas, principalmente em suas legislações e burocracia. Assim a coroa portuguesa criou Inspetoria dos Reais Cortes (1780), seguida da Conservadoria das Matas (1797) em Ilhéus, apoiada em agentes formados na universidade de Coimbra reformada em 1772, buscando conservar o principal e mais próximo celeiro de estoques de madeiras náuticas para o seu mais importante estaleiro no Atlântico, na capital da Bahia. Embora a pressão sobre as florestas coloniais tenha se iniciado nos primórdios da colonização, a partir do terremoto em Lisboa faz-se sentir uma intensidade na utilização do recurso lenhoso e das tentativas de monopolização régia. Dentro deste contexto, a exploração de madeiras de construção criou mecanismos voltados a atingir a auto-suficiência da engenharia náutica em recursos lenhosos, envolvendo os agentes reais, as elites baianas empenhadas na exploração seletiva das florestas, provocando a escassez de espécies e o encarecimento das peças náuticas. A Terra de Tinharé, por sua vez, foi o maior alvo dos fabricantes de madeira no período, pela viabilidade que o arquipélago desempenhava do ponto de vista geográfico (rios, barras, ilhas, matas densas e populações indígenas), facilitando o escoamento e o encaminhamento de remessas através de atalhos que reduziam viagens e os custos, proporcionando menores despesas a Real Fazenda e maiores obtenções de lucros para os fabricantes. O período escolhido vai da criação da inspetoria (1780) até o ano de 1801, em que D. Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho se afasta da Secretaria de Estado dos Negócios e Domínios Ultramarinos, ficando a Conservadoria das Matas de Ilhéus sem o apoio governamental de outrora, para desempenhar sua função. Então, a idéia de floresta como fonte de riquezas ilimitadas (a fronteira aberta) é enfatizada, as idéias smithnianas e ilustradas proporcionam os argumentos contrários ao monopólio preconizado pelos agentes do Antigo Regime e o mapeamento científico dos préstimos dos vegetais auxilia no conhecimento e devastação da biodiversidade da Mata Atlântica. This study turns to the understanding of timber construction at north of the district of Ilhéus and its advancement in the late 18th century, when the crisis of the colonial system and Lusitanian Illustration spurred the creation of the strongest instrument of state intervention on Brazilian forests around the colonial period, expressed in the Royal Charter of March 1797. In the context of the crisis of the Old Regime, European nations incited their relationships, leading to several reforms, particularly regarding laws and bureaucracy. Thus the Portuguese crown established the Royal Courts Inspectorate (1780), followed by the conservatism of Forests (1797) in Ilhéus, supported by officers trained at the University of Coimbra reformed in 1772, seeking to preserve the principal and nearest stock barn of nautical wood their most important shipyard in the Atlantic at the capital of Bahia. Although the pressure on colonial forests has been initiated in the beginnings of colonization, from the Lisbon earthquake is felt at an intensity of utilization of timber resources and attempts to royal monopolization. Within this context, the exploitation of timber construction has developed mechanisms aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in wood resources in nautical engineering, involving both real and Bahian elites engaged in selective logging of forests, causing the scarcity of species and price enhancement of nautical pieces. The Tinharé´s land, in turn, was a major focus of manufacturers of wood in the period, by the strategic viability that the archipelago represented, from the standpoint of geographic (rivers, bars, islands, dense forests and indigenous peoples), both for the flow, as for the routing of remittances through shortcuts that reduced travel and costs, providing greater revenue to the Royal Treasury and higher profit-margins for manufacturers. The chosen period from creation of the province (1780) by the year 1801, when D. Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho departs from the Secretary of State for Foreign and Overseas Dominions, being the Conservatorship of the Forests of Ilhéus without government support in the past, to perform its function. So the idea of forest as a source of unlimited wealth (the open border) is emphasized, and the smithnianas´s illustrated ideas provide arguments against the monopoly advocated by officials of the Old Regime and the scientific mapping of plants helps in knowledge and destruction of Atlantic Forest´s biodiversity. / Salvador

The presented thesis originated thanks to the support of the project of Grantová agentura Jihočeské univerzity Nr. 130/2010/H (The society of Czech regions in 17th up to 20th century. The area of economical, social, cultural and religious structure of Czech regions and their transformations during the 17th-20th century). The presented thesis is dealing with, on the example of Třeboň domain, the period transformation of the institute of the rent-charge and the position of retired peasants during the 18th century on the Třeboň domain, specifically in years 1725-1735 and 1775-1785. For the research there were used two from four books of rent-charge?s contracts deposited in the Státní oblastní archiv (public regional archive) in Třeboň. There was chosen the micro historical method of the research as the basic methodological starting point for the analysis of particular cases. Also the exercise of certain lifelong strategies in the family environment in the country has become the subject of the explorational interest. The goal of this thesis was to ascertain, which circumstances influenced the origin of the rent-charge and why it was required. The analysis of chosen lifelong advancements of individual groups leaving for the retirement revealed, that in the person?s behavior in the rent-charge were reflected rooted models of behavior and action, but there was also possible to grasp even the individual strategies. It was possible to draw this conclusion even in the case of the investigation of the content aspect of the rent-charge. The research points out the difference of opportunities, which presented themselves to retired peasants and sustains, that the rent-charge did not mean the end of life, but its partial stage.

This diploma thesis deals with patronage of the Schwarzenberg family in the 18th century over the parish of Němčice, which fell into the Netolice Manor, and tries to describe the patronage administration of the Schwarzenbergs in general. For basic explanation of its topic the thesis is prefaced by chapters about the patronage in general and the history of Němčice and of the local parish. Basic spheres of the patronage of the Schwarzenberg family over parishes in their manors (on the example of the parish of Němčice) are presented after that. This thesis studies the rights of patronage primarily with respect to the administration. It also deals with the symbolic manifest of the patron's authority and focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the most important types of documents of the patronage administration and communication of the patronage offices. Next chapters deal with founding of the parish of Němčice as an example of parish foundation and with its incomes. They also analyze granting of presentations, installations of the parish priests, involvement of the patronage officers in canonical visitations and with the pendency of the estates of the deceased parish priests. The addendum supplements the text of this thesis by an edition of the founding charter of the parish of Němčice, by a table of local parish priests and by reproductions of some sources.

The aim of this study is to offer a description and evaluation of the ceremonial carriages collections preserved in museums across Bohemia and Moravia, and to put them in the context of European artistic and artisan production in the 16th - 18th century. The study provides an overall account of the development of carriage from technical, as well as art history angle, together with the necessary overview of the issues of courtly hierarchies, ceremonials and visual demonstrations of the modern aristocracy, leading ultimately to the transformation of a simple personal mode of transport into a pompous work of art. Many important Baroque artists took part in carriage construction and decoration, and this study attempts to ascertain the extent of their contribution in this area. By presenting a descriptive summary of the history of the ceremonial carriages found in the collections in Bohemia and Moravia, and providing a comparison study with such carriages from other European countries, we can assert their position within the context of Europe-wide museum collections, as well as provide the opportunity for foreign scholars to take the Czech collections into account in their research.

This dissertation seeks to retrieve a crucial aspect of the spiritual heritage of Anne Dutton, her Trinitarian spirituality as it was developed in the historical context of eighteenth-century Trinitarian controversies in England and especially the Particular Baptists’ defense of the Trinity. It argues that Dutton’s Trinitarian spirituality is not only doctrinally orthodox, but also full of doxological devotion and practical comfort. It typifies the 1689 London Baptist Confession’s statement about the Trinity being the foundation of “communion with God and comfortable dependence on him.” The first three chapters serve introductory and biographical purposes. Chapter 1 introduces the purpose of the thesis, the primary sources to be examined, and the organization of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents a historical literature review of Dutton and her works. Chapter 3 sketches a portrait of Dutton in the four biblical images of the sinner, sojourner, servant and saint. Chapter 4 supplies the historical context for Dutton’s Trinitarian spirituality. It attends to both the Trinitarian controversies in eighteenth-century England and the defense of the Trinity by such Particular Baptist ministers as John Gill, Benjamin Beddome, Benjamin Wallin, and Andrew Fuller. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the nature and work of the Trinity. Chapter 5 presents Dutton’s thought about the ontology of the Trinity, which highlights the co-deity and co-equality of the Father, Son, and Spirit. Chapter 6 studies her doctrine of the work of the Trinity. In addition to the tripartite work of the Father in election, the Son in redemption, and the Spirit in particular application, attention is also given to Dutton’s expostulations of the adoption of the Father, advocateship of the Son and the sealing of the Spirit. Both the distinctive work of the triune God and their unity are underscored in the economy of human salvation. Chapters 7 and 8 deal with Dutton’s application of the Trinity in Christian experience. Chapter 7 examines her view of communion with the triune God primarily from her work, Walking with God and from comparison with John Owen’s work on the topic. The ways of this communion, which entail the primary way of Christ and the derivative ways of faith, worship, providence, and holiness are then illustrated by her spiritual autobiography. Chapter 8 discusses Dutton’s use of the Trinity in her epistolary counseling of the afflicted souls. They were directed to depend on the sovereign grace of the Father, the love of the Son, and the comfort of the Spirit. This dissertation concludes with a call for re-centering Christian devotion and practices, such as worship, education, and counseling, on the Trinity as the way to revive the Christian life in praxis as well as in doctrine.

ABSTRACT ORDER AND ARDOR: THE REVIVAL SPIRITUALITY OF REGULAR BAPTIST OLIVER HART, 1723–1795 Eric Coleman Smith, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2015 Chair: Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin This dissertation argues that Regular Baptist Oliver Hart shared the revival spirituality of the Great Awakening, and that revival played a greater role in Regular Baptist identity than is often suggested. Chapter 2 demonstrates that Hart’s life and ministry were profoundly shaped by the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century. He was converted in revival as a young man, promoted revival at the height of his ministry in Charleston, South Carolina, and longed for revival in his latter years in Hopewell, New Jersey. Chapter 3 examines Hart’s revival piety. The theology of the Christian life that undergirded his ministry was the evangelical Calvinism that united Christians from across denominational lines during the Great Awakening. Chapter 4 focuses on the most intense personal experience of revival in Hart’s ministry, an awakening among the youth of the Charleston Baptist Church in 1754. An analysis of Hart’s diary during this period proves that it belongs to the emerging genre of eighteenth century “revival narrative,” epitomized in Jonathan Edwards’s A Faithful Narrative. Chapter 5 shows that Hart’s spirituality was marked by the evangelical activism of the Great Awakening, as illustrated by his efforts in evangelism, gospel partnerships, education, and politics. Chapter 6 demonstrates that Hart and a number of other Regular Baptists shared in the evangelical catholicity of the revival. While Hart embraced the ecumenical impulse of the awakening to promote revival, he also maintained deep Baptist convictions.
