A change in perspective : a comparison between early Christian literature and Greco-Roman evidence on the lives of Ephesian women

Aynaci, Elif January 2015 (has links)
This thesis argues that Greco-Roman literary and archaeological evidence from Ephesus, in light of Greco-Roman evidence from the wider Asia Minor region, directly affects how we interpret early Christian writings related to Ephesus. We suggest that the early Christian authors employed Greco-Roman cultural elements in their texts in order to build social guidelines for the early Christian community. We will focus on the representation of women in Greco-Roman evidence and early Christian texts and compare the approaches of two sets of evidence. Our aim is to identify the differences and similarities in how these sources present women. The majority of existing scholarship on the subject has been reluctant to employ local archaeological, and to a degree literary Greco-Roman evidence in order to construct a background for the early Christian texts and subsequently interpret them. Either the comments on an early Christian text are based purely on information from directly within the text itself, or a random selection of literary and/or archaeological Greco-Roman evidence is used, with no regard for locality. Moreover, scholarship which does take comparative non-Christian evidence into account has utilised mostly Roman sources, meaning there is a need for a greater consideration of specifically Ephesian evidence in order to better understand the early Christian community there. The aim of this thesis is firstly to argue that local Greco-Roman archaeological and literary evidence provide a contextual basis from which we can properly interpret early Christian texts, and secondly to investigate different aspects of the lives of Greco-Roman Ephesian women. We discuss that the context of an early Christian writing is of vital importance, and, therefore, the evidence which helps to rebuild that context should derive from the text's immediate locale. We will argue that a comparison of the early Christian writings to their Greco-Roman context will reveal a significant similarity between the writings and their surrounding culture, contrary to common scholarly opinion. Proper construction of a text's background can bring fresh interpretations of how early Christian writings portray women. In this respect we will challenge many scholars on their views about subjects raised in the early Christian writings, such as the relationship between the married couple, the status and reputation of widows, the social standing of women, and women's roles as teachers. We will see that employment of Ephesian Greco-Roman evidence for interpretation of the Ephesian early Christian writings will provide perspectives on the texts which have not previously been recognised.

Les rites féminins dans les sanctuaires du Latium et de l’Étrurie méridionale (IVe siècle av. – Ier siècle apr. J.-C.)

Thibaut, Émilie 18 December 2015 (has links)
L'étude des pratiques cultuelles féminines dans l'Italie antique constitue un domaine attrayant depuis une vingtaine d'années. Cela dit, alors que les lieux de culte présents sur le sol de Rome forment des terrains d'investigation très privilégiés avec l'avantage d'une documentation littéraire, ceux des cités des régions alentours, telles que le Latium et l'Étrurie, seulement connus à travers l'analyse de certaines catégories d'offrandes, le sont beaucoup moins. Or, entre le IVe siècle av. J.-C. et le Ier siècle apr. J.-C., la façon de demander l'aide divine se précise grâce à l'emploi d'offrandes plus spécialisées : les ex-voto anatomiques et les figures anthropomorphes. Ce travail se propose donc d'utiliser à bon escient celles mises au jour dans les aires sacrées du Latium et de l'Étrurie méridionale et de les compléter par des témoignages littéraires afin de reconstituer des pratiques cultuelles qui auraient pu être effectuées par les femmes en leur sein. À la lumière de vestiges archéologiques impliquant la sphère féminine, il s'agit véritablement de reconsidérer le rapport que les femmes entretenaient avec la religion tout autant que leur participation à la vie de leur communauté. Dépassant les préjugés véhiculés par des sources partiales, masculines et tardives faisant état de personnes dont la nature les rendait incapables de composer avec la religion, c'est une nouvelle vision des femmes que nous proposons de réviser. / The study of female cultural practices in Ancient Italy has been an attractive area for the last twenty years. Although places of worship, present in Roma, have been really privileged themes with the advantage of literary materials, those of cities of surrounding areas, such as the Latium and the Etruria, only famous through the analysis of some offering types, are much less. However, between the fourth century B.C. and the first century A.D., the way to ask for the divine help is becoming clearer, thanks to the use of more specialized offerings: the anatomical ex-voto and the anthropomorphic figures. This works intends to use, in the right way, those discovered in the sacred areas of the Latium and the southern Etruria and to complete it with the literary testimonies, so as to re-build cultural practices that could have been done by women on their own. In the light of archaeological remains, implying the female sphere, it is about to really re-think the relation that women maintained with the religion, as well as their participation in their communities. Going beyond prejudices inherited by biased and ancient sources as well as male world; considering persons whose nature made them incapable of coping with the religion; it is a new vision of women that we intend to review.

De la formation de gouttelettes à l'émulsification : approche expérimentale à micro-échelle / From droplet formation to emulsification : experimental investigation at microscale

Carrier, Odile 25 September 2012 (has links)
Ce travail s'est intéressé à l?étude de la formation de gouttelettes en microsystèmes à l'aide d'outils de visualisation tels que des caméras rapides et la microvélocimétrie par image de particules (µPIV). La taille des gouttelettes principales et satellites formées en jonction flow-focusing est déterminée pour des fluides newtoniens et non-newtoniens. Les mêmes paramètres critiques sont mis en évidence pour ces jonctions flow-focusing et des jonctions T, illustrant l'influence du confinement sur la formation des gouttelettes. L'évolution de la taille des gouttelettes satellites dépend quant à elle d'un nombre capillaire critique. Les champs de vitesses ont été mesurés dans les gouttelettes en formation ainsi qu'autour de ces gouttelettes, de même que les trois étapes de la dynamique de rupture du cou des gouttelettes. Les liens entre cette dynamique, les champs de vitesse et la taille des gouttelettes ont été déterminés. L'émulsification a également été étudiée dans deux micromélangeurs industriels : le Caterpillar et le StarLaminator, avec des formulations proches de celles cométiques. Les performances énergétiques sont particulièrement prometteuses pour le Caterpillar / This work is focused on droplet formation in microsystems using visualization tools such as high-speed cameras and microparticle image velocimetry (µPIV). The size of main and satellite droplets formed in flow-focusing junctions was determined for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The same critical parameters were highlighted for both flow-focusing and T-junctions, illustrating walls? influence on the droplet formation. The size evolution of satellite droplets depends on a critical capillary number. The flow fields were measured inside and outside the forming droplets, as well as the three steps dynamics for droplet neck rupture. This dynamics was straightforwardly linked to the flow fields and the droplet size. Emulsification was also investigated in two industrial micromixers, Caterpillar and StarLaminator respectively, with formulations close to cosmetic ones. The energetic performances of the Caterpillar are particularly promising

Modélisation stochastique du dépot de particules colloïdales transportées par des écoulements turbulents isothermes et non isothermes / Stochastic modeling of colloid particle deposition carried by isothermal and non isothermal turbulent flows

Martineau, Clara 14 November 2013 (has links)
Ce travail concerne la généralisation d'un modèle de dépôt de particules. La première partie présente l'approche de modélisation adoptée pour simuler le dépôt de particules colloïdales et traite du raccord entre le Modèle de Langevin Généralisé qui calcule le transport des particules dans le coeur de l'écoulement et le Modèle de Proche Paroi (MPP) destiné au voisinage de la paroi. Le raccord est assuré par l'équilibre du flux de particules traversant l'interface entre les modèles. La validation est assurée par le passage en particules fluides en vérifiant que le raccord est valable dans le cas limite du fluide. Ce travail a donné lieu à des développements théoriques et numériques sur les statistiques conditionnées d'une particule traversant une interface. Des calculs de dépôt de particules montrent que le MPP reproduit correctement les résultats expérimentaux pour des écoulements isothermes. Dans un écoulement non isotherme, les particules peuvent faire l'expérience du phénomène de thermophorèse (qui est le mécanisme de déplacement des particules induit par un gradient de température) qui peut considérablement influencer le dépôt de particules. Nous avons choisi de modéliser la thermophorèse dans le MPP. Nous étudions d'abord la thermophorèse en milieu gazeux car elle est très bien expliquée par la théorie cinétique des gaz. L'étude de la thermophorèse en milieu liquide est plus ardue car elle ne dispose pas encore de théorie unifié ni de travaux expérimentaux qui étudient ce phénomène. La dernière partie est consacrée à la prise en compte du phénomène de thermophorèse en liquide dans le MPP. Cette étude fournit de nouveaux résultats numériques de dépôt en milieu liquide / We present new results obtained with the generalisation to non isothermal flows of a Near-Wall particle deposition Model (NWM). This work is divided in two parts. The first part consists in coupling the Generalised Langevin Model used to compute the particles statistics in the core of the flow with the NWM that calculates particles motion in the vicinity of the wall. In order to achieve the coupling, we focus on the balance of fluxes of fluid particles crossing the interface between the models. This amounts to assessing if the coupling is valid in the fluid limit case, as non-physical accumulation of fluid particles can occur at the interface. It has lead to theoretical and numerical developments on the conditional statistics of particles crossing an interface. The particle deposition rate is then computed with inertial particles and the model reproduces satisfactorily experimental studies in isothermal flow. In the case of non isothermal flows, particles can experience thermophoresis (which is a mechanism that induces a particle flux in the presence of a temperature gradient) that may strongly affect the particle deposition rate. We thus choose to model thermophoresis in NWM to predict accurate particule deposition in non isothermal flows. We first investigate thermophoresis in gas as it is well explained. Thermophoresis in liquids is then studied. In contrast to the gases, the theory and experiment of thermophoresis in liquids are far from being well established. The last part of this work, dedicated to the modelisation of thermophoresis in liquids in the NWM has lead to new promising numerical results of particle deposition enhanced by thermophoresis
