The discussion of citation and allusion has become an important area of research in Medieval Studies. The application of postmodern intertextual theories has brought scholars to a deeper understanding of the reuse of borrowed material, shedding new light on a culture of music and literature that was once dismissed as dully repetitive. This thesis builds on this work by examining in depth the manner in which citation and allusion was deployed in the fourteenth-century motet. Motets are a particularly fertile ground for discussion of the reuse of material, drawing as they do on a range of citational techniques such as borrowed liturgical tenors, modelling of rhyme schemes on existing works, and quotation of refrains and authorities. The polyphonic and polytextual nature of the motet enabled composers to juxtapose different registers, languages and genres, and thus to create an array of competing possible interpretations. This study is situated against several strands of recent scholarship. It draws on critical theory, as well as discussions of refrain definition, memory, manuscript compilation, and notions of voice, authority and authorship. Each chapter examines a particular body of work: the interpolated Roman de Fauvel, the works of Guillaume de Machaut, the motets of the Ivrea and Chantilly manuscripts, and finally those of Manuscript Torino J.II.9. In each case, looking at the use of citation and allusion connects to other concerns. In the Roman de Fauvel, citation in the motets can be seen as functioning alongside use of the vernacular, manuscript layout and illuminations to elucidate the narrative. In the works of Guillaume de Machaut citation is linked to his ambiguous self-presentation and authorial presence, and connects individual pieces in his complete works’ manuscripts. The Ivrea and Chantilly motets, while not linked by the same strength of context, demonstrate continuing use of thirteenth-century tradition. In this case, studying compilation choices may help us to understand how scribes interpreted citational material. Finally, I argue that understanding the internal use of symmetry in MS J.II.9 and its motets, and the reuse of material between the motets and the chansons of that repertory, vindicates the view that the music and poetry was composed by a single author well versed in mainstream tradition. I have been able to propose some previously unnoted allusions in the major works, and draw out the benefits of a holistic approach to understanding these motet and manuscripts. All this points to motets both continuing the writing traditions of the thirteenth century throughout the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, but also shows individual writers and compilers choosing to cite in a creative and innovative manner.

The thesis is of an analytical/interpretative character, focusing on paradigmatic analysis of the motives, images, symbols and allusions in the works of Slovak novelist Stanislav Rakús. The object of the analysis is the short story collection Pieseň o studničnej vode, first published in 1979. The multilayeredness of Rakús's texts urges the reader to search for different interpretative possibilities. The language of images, symbols and allusions affects not only the motivic and expressive structure of the text, but also e.g. the temporal and spatial identification of the stories, and in a specific manner it also affects the narrative situation implied. The thesis focuses on detailed analysis of individual layers of the literary texts.

La critique a souvent qualifié l'oeuvre de Pierre Michon d'« érudite », en raison de la richesse des références culturelles et historiques qui s'accumulent dans chacun de ses récits, qui se rapportent en effet abondamment aux différents legs de l'histoire pour s'élaborer: reliques familiales, documents patrimoniaux, photographies, peintures, textes littéraires, oeuvres critiques. De tous ces objets hérités, la peinture nous semble mériter une attention particulière. Parce qu'elle est présente par de multiples allusions dès son premier récit, qu'elle sera le sujet central de son deuxième avec le portrait de Joseph Roulin et qu'elle continuera de travailler son imaginaire avec des textes comme MaÎtres et serviteurs et Le Roi du bois, qui s'attachent tous deux à différentes figures de peintres, la peinture insiste chez Michon comme dans son oeuvre. Ce mémoire se propose de préciser les modalités de cette insistance par l'étude des liens que développe Michon entre tableau et écriture dans ses deux premières oeuvres, soit Vies minuscules (1984) et Vie de Joseph Roulin (1988). En confrontant tour à tour ces récits aux oeuvres picturales qu'ils convoquent, les usages multiples que fait Michon des tableaux seront mis au jour, en définissant plus avant cette pratique qui dynamise son écriture en ce qu'elle remet chaque fois en cause l'existence de liens univoques entre le langage et les objets du monde. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Pierre Michon, Vies minuscules, Vie de Joseph Roulin, Tableau, Peinture, Représentation, Figuration, Allusion, Référence, Esthétique.

The present study concerns the use in the Hebrew Bible of paronomasia (soundplay) for the purpose of alluding to and interpreting antecedent literary traditions also found in the Bible. The focus of the investigation lies on the biblical writers' use of allusive paronomasia for the purpose of constructing theological discourse, that is, in service of their efforts to describe the nature of God and his relationship to humanity. By showing that a variety of biblical texts contain examples of allusive paronomasia employed for this purpose, the study demonstrates that this literary device played an important role in the growth of the biblical text as a whole and in the development of ancient Israelite and early Jewish theological traditions. / Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations

Šiuolaikinėje visuomenėje televizija tapo neatsiejama gyvenimo dalimi, o jos vaidmuo nuolat kinta. Todėl reikia pripažinti televizijos daromą įtaką. Dažnai galima išgirsti kalbant apie tai, kad šiuolaikinė animacija nėra tinkama vaikams žiūrėti. Tačiau vaikai nemažai laiko praleidžia prie televizoriaus ekrano žiūrėdami animacinius filmukus. Ypatingo dėmesio susilaukė amerikiečių animacinis serialas „Simpsonai“. Nors šis filmas yra skirtas suaugusiems, tačiau jį mielai žiūri ir vaikai. Šiuo metu besiformuojančios teorinės paradigmos, nagrinėja kintantį televizijos vaidmenį. Didelis dėmesys yra skiriamas postmodernios televizijos turiniui ir jo ryšiui su žiūrovais. Nagrinėti televiziją postmodernizmo kontekste yra vienas televizijos pokyčių analizės būdų. Šio darbo tikslas – atskleisti šiuolaikinės visuomenės vertybių satyrą seriale „Simpsonai“. Siekiant šio tikslo yra analizuojami pagrindiniai vyraujantys požiūriai į masines informavimo priemones. Parodomi šiuolaikinei televizijai būdingi postmodernizmo bruožai. Taip pat yra apibūdinami pagrindiniai veikėjai, atskleidžiamos vyraujančios etinės moralinės problemos. Animacinis serialas „Simpsonai“ yra apibūdinimas kaip vienas ryškiausių postmodernistinių kūrinių, kuriam yra būdingas sudėtingas turinys, savęs suvokimas, fragmentacija, satyra, aliuzijos, intertekstualumas, parodija, imitacija. Jame gvildenamos įvairios visuomenės aktualijos, keliami opūs klausimai, išjuokiamos šiuolaikinės vertybės. Atliktas tyrimas tarp 12 – 15...

It is heard that modern animation is not proper for children, however they spend quite a lot of time in front of TV watching some cartoons. American animated serial „The Simpsons“ has attained special attention. Despite the fact that the film is for adults children also watch it with pleasure. Theoretical paradigms, that have been currently developing, are analyzing the changing role of television. A great attention is paid to the content of postmodern television and its‘ relations with the audience. Studying television in postmodern context is one of techniques to analize the changes of television. The aim of this paper is to reveal satire of modern society‘s values in „The Simpsons“ serial. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, the main dominant opinions about the mass media are analysed. Moreover, typical postmodern features of modern television are presented. In addition to this, the main characters are described and the prevailing ethical moral problems are revealed. Animated serial „The Simpsons“ is described as a prime postmodern work, that is characterized by a complex content, self-perception, fragmentation, satire, allusion, intertextuality, parody and imitation. „The Simpsons“ ventilates different topicality of the society. Moreover, in „The Simpsons“ sore points are raised and modern values... [to full text]

Thinking about the complexity of the short story O alienista (Machado de Assis), we observed that such aspect results of the 'manners' of intervention that the narrator accomplishes by a 'historiographic' discourse. Through this discourse, he is able to project events and ideologies from the moment of enunciation (narration) on the elements of the statement (diegesis). Hence the difficulty that the short story introduces to the critic suggests an approach that goes beyond the traditional theoretical classifications about the narrator, once the richness of the category does not reside in the stagnated characteristics of its form, but in its manner of proceeding actively on the report. Based on this, we propose a study that is centered not properly in the narrator's figure as 'typological' result, according to the traditional theoretical classifications, but in the formal means that act, starting from the narration, on the constitution of the diegesis. In other words, we tried to study the category indirectly through the relationships between strategic discursive means, enunciation and statement. Such relationships are capable to dissimulate an entire implicit universe that hides ferocious criticismo to different domains of the reality. Therefore we need a research to be ruled by different concepts when the subject is the reflection on unconventional manners with which the narrator intervenes in his report. The immediate consequence of such a study concerning this subject is a methodological arrangement that is based on new concepts formulated by a range of theorists that belong not only to literary theory. Thereby we built and adopted, throughout the whole analysis, some specific notions, as it is the case of the allusion-that results from the dialogue between the ideas of Gérard Genette s narrative levels, the ideas of Peirce s indexicality and the Grice s implicature. This conglomeration of theoretical aspects from different áreas can suggest a certain perplexity. However, at the end, the allusion and its constituent phases -as it results from the a fore mentioned theoretical connection provides an indispensable service to our analysis. Still of our specific method another fundamental concept arises: the prototypicality. By this term we want to designate the cutting done by the narrator of certain essential lines that configure particularities of the reality. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo promover um estudo diferente acerca da categoria narrador. Pensando na complexidade da obra O alienista, de Machado de Assis, observamos que tal aspecto resulta dos modos de intervenção que o narrador realiza através do seu discurso historiográfico . Por meio deste discurso, ele está habilitado a projetar eventos e ideologias do momento da enunciação (narração) sobre os elementos do enunciado (diegese). Nessa perspectiva, a dificuldade que o conto apresenta ao crítico sugere uma abordagem que em muito ultrapassa as tradicionais classificações teóricas do narrador, tendo em vista que a riqueza da categoria não se encontra nas características estanques de sua forma, mas nos seus modos de proceder ativamente sobre o relato. Decorre disso um estudo que se centra não propriamente na figura do narrador enquanto resultado tipológico , segundo as classificações teóricas tradicionais, mas nos meios formais que agem, a partir da narração, sobre a constituição da diegese. Ou seja, ao considerarmos a categoria, procuramos estudá-la indiretamente por meio das relações entre estratégias procedimentais , enunciação e enunciado. Tais relações são capazes de dissimular todo um universo implícito que esconde críticas ferozes a distintos domínios da realidade objetiva. Resulta, portanto, de semelhante observação uma pesquisa pautada em conceituações bem diferentes das que nos são indicadas inicialmente quando o assunto é a reflexão sobre o narrador. A consequência imediata de um estudo direcionado para estas questões é um arranjo metodológico que se baseia em autores e conceitos diversos. Dessa maneira, construímos e adotamos, durante toda a análise, algumas noções específicas, como é o caso da alusão que resulta da junção entre as ideias dos níveis narrativos de Gérard Genette, do índice de C. S. Peirce e da implicatura de H. P. Grice. Este conglomerado de aspectos teóricos de áreas relativamente diferentes pode sugerir certa perplexidade. Entretanto, no final, a alusão e suas fases constituintes como resulta da junção teórica mencionada presta um serviço imprescindível a nossa análise. Ainda de nosso método específico decorre outro conceito fundamental o de prototipicidade. Com este termo queremos designar o recorte feito pelo narrador de certos traços essenciais que configuram particularidades da realidade objetiva.
