This thesis examines ideas about old age in four anecdotes and their illustrations from the 1334 illustrated Mamluk volume of al-Hariri's (1054-1122) Maqamat in the context of early (1250-1382) Mamluk society. The Maqamat contains fifty short anecdotes with a common plot format and two main characters. In each anecdote, the narrator al-Harith relates an adventure of the hero Abu Zayd, an elderly beggar who travels throughout the medieval Islamic Middle East. Using his talent as an orator, Abu Zayd draws people together in a public place, performs an eloquent speech, and is rewarded with money and goods. Ideas about the status of old age in Muslim society originate in the Qur 'an and hadith. Attitudes about the elderly are expressed in other selected texts and in painting (frescoes and manuscript illustration). In the 1334 Mamluk volume, Maqamat illustrations either enhance the text or function independently of the text. Images portray old age as a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge and authority in the social roles of literary scholar, judge, religious leader, and teacher.

O presente trabalho objetiva desenvolver um estudo analítico dos versos preliminares de O engenhoso fidalgo Dom Quixote de La Mancha - obra escrita em 1605 por Miguel Cervantes -, bem como uma proposta de tradução de tais versos, anexada ao final da dissertação. Neste estudo, serão ressaltados certos olhares da crítica cervantina, relacionados à valorização do escritor espanhol e de sua obra poética, e alguns dos elementos formais e conceituais que permeiam os dez poemas de abertura da narrativa do cavaleiro manchego. Além disso, serão evidenciados os elementos burlescos dos versos, como modo de apresentar uma constituição poética relevante e de estabelecer parâmetros que possam servir de alicerce para as traduções. A partir do trabalho de pesquisa acerca dos versos preliminares do Quixote, o processo de tradução, no que se refere à versificação e à interpretação poética, poderá se fundamentar. / Not only has this work been devoted to an analytical study of the preliminary verses of El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de La Mancha, written in 1605 by Miguel de Cervantes, but also a proposal of their translation attached in the end of this work. The research has taken into account different considerations about Cervants criticism. Most of them revealed how the author was worth being read as a writer and others highlighted his poems. As a consequence of the literary appreciation that had been brought up before this research, form and content are still permeating the ten introductory poems of the Manchegos narrative knight. Beyond this, burlesque elements in the verses will be referred as a way of showing relevant poetic concepts and, consequently, parameters established to support an innovative Portuguese version. It must be mentioned that the present translation is systematically based on rhyme and poetic interpretation.

My thesis explores how female writers of the Golden Age of children’s literature used their domestic stories to convey their visions of a more desirable society to their child readers, and thus to widen their influence beyond the homely sphere. My first chapter reconsiders the nineteenth-century historical circumstances wherein the woman and the child came to be constructed and enshrined as the domestic woman and the Romantic child within the home, and excluded from the public discourses. I then consider how in domestic stories women writers tried to overcome this shared deprivation of autonomy with the child, focusing on the works of Charlotte Yonge, Juliana Ewing, and Mary Louisa Molesworth. It emerges that these women writers were all keen to encourage their young readers to question the boundaries that separate home from the public realm, and to imagine a society wherein these dividing lines would be mitigated and even be extinguished. The thesis argues that these female writers’ literary efforts to exhaust the potential of the domestic story, and that their motivation to provide their child readers a sense of agency were integral in the development of Golden Age children’s literature. Charlotte Yonge’s technique of evoking sympathy for the child characters forged a more intimate relationship between adult author and young reader, and initiated the unsettling of the hierarchy between old and young, and author and reader. Juliana Ewing’s experiments with child narrators and her mingling of adventure and fantasy stories with domestic stories showed successive writers the various directions the domestic story could go. Mary Louisa Molesworth’s nursery stories realized the purpose of Ewing’s literary experiments, as her stories’ natural interweaving of quotidian nursery and fairy tale elements not only alleviated the hierarchy between fantasy and domestic realism, but also opened an era in which the blending of these two modes would become one of the most popular genres in children’s literature.

L’omniprésence du thème du vieillissement dans la poésie de Philippe Jaccottet a déjà été relevée par de nombreux critiques. Mais elle n’avait encore jamais fait l’objet d’une analyse spécifique. Cette thèse de Ludivine Moulière, rédigée sous la direction d’Isabelle Chol, au sein du laboratoire Arts-Langage / Transitions et Relations de l’Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, et intitulée Le Poète tardif, mélancolie, vieillesse et poétique du déclin dans l’œuvre de Philippe Jaccottet, entreprend de combler cette lacune en analysant, dans l’œuvre poétique et critique, les représentations de la vieillesse. Pour ce faire, comme y invite la théorie humorale exposée dans Saturne et la mélancolie (Klibansky, Panofsky, Saxl), le vieillir a été mis en lien avec la mélancolie, comprise dans plusieurs de ses acceptions. Ordonnant d’abord l’imaginaire de l’œuvre à la lumière de l’iconologie mélancolique, sont exposés les liens qu’entretient la représentation des éléments avec celles des âges de la vie, des saisons et des tempéraments. Cela permet de dégager l’humeur mélancolique qui informe la perception du monde en une structure bipolaire ou antithétique. Cette approche iconologique et phénoménologique laisse ensuite la place à une approche plus historique et sociologique. L’analyse des représentations de l’urbain et du jardin montre que la nostalgie, en contredisant l’héritage des Lumières et son idéal progressiste, donne au mouvement de l’histoire la forme d’un déclin graduel, qui rapproche l’historiographie jaccottéenne de l’historiographie romantique. Enfin, le commentaire de la poétique ou de la « poéthique » (Pinson) de Philippe Jaccottet montre de quelle manière l’écriture est infléchie par l’expérience du temps et de la vieillesse. La figuration du poète en « grave vieillard falcifère » (Steinmetz) s’avère ainsi participer d’une conversion axiologique à la fois de la vieillesse et de la mélancolie, en en faisant d’une part la condition d’une aspiration vers l’infini et d’un retour vers la finitude, et d’autre part le principe d’élaboration de l’éthopée jaccottéenne aussi bien que l’aboutissement de la quête lyrique de son identité. / Many critics have already noticed the omnipresence of the theme of old age in Philippe Jaccottet’s work, yet it has never been the object of a specific analysis. Ludivine Moulière’s thesis, entitled The Late Poet, Melancholy, Old Age and Poetic of Decline, written under the direction of Isabelle Chol at the laboratory Arts-Language / Transitions and Relationships of the University of Pau, fills this gap by analyzing the representations of old age within poetic and critical works. Ageing is linked to melancholy as understood in several of its meanings, along the lines of humoral theory as developed in Saturn and Melancholy (Klibansky, Panofsky, Saxl). Firstly, the work’s imaginative realm is organized through the melancholic iconology model in order to show relationships between the representation of the elements and the ages of life, seasons and temperaments. As a result, a melancholic mood is shown to shape perception into a bipolar or antithetic structure. This iconological and phenomenological approach is followed by a more historical and sociological one. The analysis of the representations of urbanity and gardens shows that nostalgia gives the form of a gradual decline to the movement of history, unlike the Enlightenment Legacy and its idea of progress, bringing Jaccottet’s historiography closer to romantic historiography. Finally, the commentary on Jaccottet’s poetic or « po-ethic » (Pinson) shows how his writing is tempered by experience of time and old age. The image of the poet as a « grave old man carrying a sickle » (Steinmetz) proves to fall within an axiological conversion of both old age and melancholy making it, on the one hand, the condition of an aspiration towards infinity and a return to finitude, and on the other hand the elaboration of the Jaccottean ethopoeia as well as the outcome of the lyrical quest for his identity.
