Subjetividade, ideias e coisas : estudo crítico e tradução da primeira parte da Lógica de Port-Royal, I-VIII / Subjectivity, ideas and things: a critical study of the first part of the logic of Port-Royal, I-VIII and the translation of the first partPeixoto, Katarina Ribeiro January 2012 (has links)
Estudo crítico e tradução da Primeira Parte da Lógica ou A Arte de Pensar, que ficou conhecida como Lógica de Port-Royal (1683), para a língua portuguesa. O estudo volta-se para a análise dos capítulos I a VIII da Primeira Parte e visa a explicitar o caráter híbrido desse manual de lógica, estruturado com o formato dos manuais de lógica escolásticos, inspirados no Organon aristotélico, e marcado pela recepção e vigência de teses cartesianas fundamentais. Embora o legado de Aristóteles se manifeste mais do que em seu formato, a Lógica de Port-Royal deve ser lida como um manual de lógica moderna naquilo que condiciona a sua inteligibilidade: a introdução de requisitos epistêmicos na determinação do domínio da lógica. No processo de reforma da lógica iniciado no século XV, Port-Royal se inscreve não apenas na crítica da concepção de lógica como instrumento para a demonstração silogística da ciência (como já o tinham feito, por exemplo, os lógicos renascentistas), mas na defesa da lógica como reflexão prática epistemicamente orientada, caracterizada pela tomada do juízo como ação mental definidora do domínio lógico. A presença de exigências epistêmicas deriva, em Port-Royal, da leitura de Descartes e do debate deste com Antoine Arnauld. Teses fundamentais do cartesianismo são arregimentadas para o projeto lógico de Port-Royal: a prioridade do pensamento sobre a linguagem; o desprezo da linguagem e da imaginação; a tese de que o uso de palavras derivaria da função, a um só tempo cognitiva e lógica, do juízo como definidora da lógica e, condicionando todas essas, a tese fundadora do cartesianismo enunciada na proposição Penso, logo sou. É a leitura arnauldiana do cogito cartesiano, defende este estudo, que dá a ver como se pode pensar o cartesianismo em lógica. A análise dos primeiros oito capítulos é temática, e a perspectiva reformista da Lógica de Port-Royal é apresentada no estudo da transição dos capítulos III para o IV, e do V para o VI, bem como do VII para o VIII. No capítulo VIII, o estudo se detém sobre o peculiar tratamento port-royaliano dos termos complexos. Em seguida, volta-se ao que configura o pressuposto subjetivo dessa concepção de lógica e à expressão representativa desse pressuposto, apresentados nos capítulos I e II da Primeira Parte do manual, onde os requisitos epistêmicos de uma lógica de ideias são apresentados e onde o caráter representativo dessas ideias obtém sua vestimenta gramatical (sujeito, predicado e adjetivo), veiculando determinações lógicas (coisa, modo da coisa, coisa modificada). Por fim, o estudo busca, na correspondência que Arnauld manteve com Descartes, em 1648, a origem e o fundamento da concepção de cogito que estará em vigor em Port-Royal, de maneira explícita, a partir de 1662. / Critical study and translation of the First Part of Logic or the Art of Thinking, known as Port- Royal Logic (1683), for the portuguese language. The study is focused on the analysis of chapter I to VIII of the First Part and aims to clarify the hybrid character of this manual of logic, which has the structure of scholastic logic manuals, inspired by the Aristotelian Organon, and the reception and effectiveness of key Cartesian theses. Although the Aristote’s legacy is far more importante than the shaping of the manual structure, the logic of Port-Royal should be read as a manual of modern logic in what conditions its intelligibility: the introduction of epistemic requirements in determining the domain of logic. In the process of reformism in logic started in the fifteenth century, the Port-Royal Logic is inscribed not only in the critic of the conception of syllogistic logic as a tool for the demonstration of science (as, for example, the renaissance has done), but also with the defense of logic as a kind of practical reflection epistemically oriented, characterized by tacking the judgment as the mental action by excellence, which defines the logical domain. The presence of epistemic requirements is derived from the impact of Descarte’s philosophy on Port-Royal and from his debate with Antoine Arnauld. Fundamental thesis of Cartesianism are regimented to the port-royalian conception of logic, as the priority of thought over language, the contempt of language and its origin, imagination, and, conditioning all these, the founder of Cartesianism thesis as stated in the proposition I think, therefore I am. The study argues that interpretation of the Cartesian cogito by Antoine Arnauld, mostly, offers a way to think Cartesianism in logic. The analysis of the first eight chapters is thematic, and the reformist perspective in Port-Royal's Logic is presented to study the transition of the III chapter to the VIII. Then, back up to the defended position, that is the assumption that the conception of subjectivity, of knowledge and the representative expression of this assumption are presented in Chapters I and II of the First Part of the manual. In these chapters are established the requirements of an epistemic logic of ideas and of the representative character of these ideas, which get its grammatical outfit (subject, predicate and adjective), conveying logical determinations (a thing, a manner of a thing and a modified thing). Finally, the study seeks in the correspondence that Descartes maintained with Arnauld, in 1648, the origin and the foundation of the concept of cogito which will be in force in Port-Royal, explicitly, from 1662.

L'artiste comme stratège : topographie de l'art contemporain à Paris au début du XXIe siècle / The artist as a strategist : topography of contemporay art in Paris at the beginning of the 21st centuryVelasco lugo, Julio 03 July 2017 (has links)
Ce travail aborde la question des lieux d'art non pas, comme c'est souvent le cas, pour leurs répercussions sur leur voisinage, mais pour leur apport à la création plastique elle-même. Dans sa première partie sont précisés les termes de la recherche : le mot "stratégie" à la fois dans le contexte artistique et dans d'autres contextes ; les "quartiers d'art" selon leur usage: création, exhibition et habitation ; les "gens de l'art", considérés comme le groupe qui crée, conceptuellement, l'œuvre d'art. La deuxième partie présente, en plus d'une synthèse historique, six territoires de l'art contemporain : le Fbg Saint-Denis (Paris), qui constitue la colonne vertébrale de ce travail, la Macarena (Bogota), San Telmo (Buenos Aires), Belleville (Paris), le Red Hook (New York) et la ville de Berlin. La troisième partie analyse le travail individuel de sept personnalité de l'art ayant habité le Fbg Saint-Denis depuis l'année 2000 : Nathalie Heinich, Nicolas Bourriaud, Jean-Philippe Antoine, Thomas Hirschhorn, Esther Shalev-Gerz, Pierre Huyghe et Olga Kisseleva. La dernière partie relie cette recherche avec l'œuvre de son auteur. La conclusion met en évidence une série d'hypothèses qui se dégagent de cette étude : les lieux d'art comme instrument d'identification des différents groupes œuvrant dans l'art ; la notion de débat comme forme de stratégie, avec un niveau interne (qui participe et à quel titre) et un niveau global (le rôle de l'art dans la société) ; les artistes considérés non pas comme une catégorie socio-professionnelle, mais comme "produits" de chaque groupe social ; l'art comme une forme de participation à un territoire commun plus que comme un espace en soi. / This work concerns the question of art territories, but not, as is often the case, for their repercussions on their neighbourhood, but for their contribution to the plastic creation itself. In the first part, the terms of the research are defined: the word "strategy" in the artistic context as well as in other contexts; the "art districts". according to their use: creation, exhibition and residence; the "people of art", considered as the group that creates, conceptually the artwork. The second part presents, in addition to a historical synthesis, six territories of contemporary art: Faubourg Saint-Denis (Paris). which is the backbone of this work, Macarena (Bogota), San Telmo (Buenos Aires), Belleville (Paris), the Red Hook (New York) and the city of Berlin. The third part analyses the individual work of seven contemporary art personalities who lived in Faubourg SaintDenis since 2000: Nathalie Heinich, Nicolas Bourriaud, Jean-Philippe Antoine, Thomas Hirschhorn, Esther Shalev-Gerz, Pierre Huyghe and Olga Kisseleva. The last part links this research with the work of its author. The conclusion highlights a series of hypotheses emerging from this study: places of art as an instrument of identification of the different groups working in art; the notion of "debate" as a form of strategy, with an internal level (who participates and in what capacity) and a global level (the role of art in society); artists considered not as a socio-professional category, but as "products" of every social group; art as a form of participation in a common territory more than as a self-space.

Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, Comte De Guibert: Father of the Grande ArméeAbel, Jonathan, 1985- 08 1900 (has links)
Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, comte de Guibert (1743-1790) dedicated his life and career to creating a new doctrine for the French army. Little about this doctrine was revolutionary. Indeed, Guibert openly decried the anarchy of popular participation in government and looked askance at the early days of the Revolution. Rather, Guibert’s doctrine marked the culmination of an evolutionary process that commenced decades before his time and reached fruition in the Réglement of 1791, which remained in force until the 1830s. Not content with military reform, Guibert demanded a political and social constitution to match. His reforms required these changes, demanding a disciplined, service-oriented society and a functional, rational government to assist his reformed military. He delved deeply, like no other contemporary writer, into the linkages between society, politics, and the military throughout his career and his writings. Guibert exerted an overwhelming influence on military thought across Europe for the next fifty years. His military theories provided the foundation for military reform during the twilight of the Old Regime. The Revolution, which adopted most of Guibert’s doctrine in 1791, continued his work. A new army and way of war based on Guibert’s reforms emerged to defeat France’s major enemies. In Napoleon’s hands, Guibert’s army all but conquered Europe by 1807. As other nations adopted French methods, Guibert’s influence spread across the Continent, reigning supreme until the 1830s. This dissertation adopts a biographical approach to examine Guibert’s life and influence on the creation of the French military system that led to Napoleon’s conquest of Europe. As no such biography exists in Anglophone literature, such a work will fill a crucial gap in understanding French military success to 1807. It examines the period of French military reform from 1760 to the creation and use of Napoleon’s Grande Armée from 1803 to 1807, illustrating the importance of Guibert’s systemic doctrine in the period. Moreover, the work argues that Guibert belongs in the ranks of authors whose works exerted a primary influence on the French Enlightenment and Revolution by establishing Guibert as a “Great Man” of the Republic of Letters between 1770 and his death in 1790.

La famille et l'école : entre le particulier et l'universel : les conceptions de Condorcet, Hegel, Durkheim, Parsons et Bourdieu et PasseronBédard, Mélanie 11 April 2018 (has links)
Ce mémoire étudie comment Condorcet, Hegel, Durkheim, Parsons, Bourdieu et Passeron conçoivent les fonctions respectives de la famille et de l’école en matière d’éducation. Depuis la Révolution française, les idées modernes sur ce partage ont beaucoup évoluées. C’est à titre de témoins éminents de cette évolution que ces auteurs sont interrogés. Toutes héritières des principes issus du siècle des Lumières, les conceptions étudiées varient selon le rapport à l’ordre social et selon l’intention qui les guide ; le bonheur universel qui fait autorité sur la liberté de l’individu en formation devient de moins en moins abstrait. En tant que finalité, cet idéal se fait supplanter, presque, par la question du bonheur individuel, pourtant soumise aujourd’hui à l’exigence de la réussite scolaire. La responsabilité individuelle s’en trouve accrue, puisque, depuis que les structures sociales inégalitaires ont été sévèrement critiquées, l’ordre social ne doit plus reposer sur des déterminations de classe. / This study examines how Condorcet, Hegel, Durkheim, Parsons, Bourdieu and Passeron perceive the roles of both the family and the school with regard to upbringing. Since the French Revolution, these perceptions have greatly evolved. We refer to these authors since they clearly represent the context of this evolution. Although these perceptions have inherited principles originating from the Enlightenment, they vary according to the relationship with society and the intentions by which they are guided. Universal happiness, which has an impact on the freedom of the growing individual, becomes less and less abstract. In the end, this ideal is almost surpassed by the freedom of personal happiness, which still depends today on success in school, as it is a generally accepted requirement. The responsibility of each individual is amplified, because, ever since unequal social structures have been highly criticized, social order shall no longer be based upon class determination.

Wachsfigurenkabinette waren nicht immer die billigen Sensationsmaschinen, als die sie heute verstanden werden. Vor der Erfindung und Verbreitung von Photographie und illustrierten Zeitschriften waren sie Bildmedien, die der Vermittlung von visuellen Informationen dienten. Kein anderes Medium konnte die Protagonisten der Weltgeschichte so unmittelbar darstellen wie die Sammlungen lebensgroßer Wachsfiguren. Das Material Wachs trug wesentlich zu ihrem Erfolg bei, denn es ermöglichte die täuschend echten und bis dahin realistischsten Darstellungen von bekannten Persönlichkeiten. Die Operationsweise dieses Mediums wird am Beispiel von Madame Tussauds Wachsfigurenkabinett genauer untersucht. Dazu wurde, soweit möglich, die Reiseroute, der Aufbau und die “Besetzung” der Ausstellung rekonstruiert, sowie die soziale Herkunft der Besucher in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jh.s ermittelt. Es wird deutlich, daß Marie Tussaud eine talentierte Portraitkünstlerin und ambitionierte Schaustellerin war, deren sorgfältig gestaltete Ausstellung vor allem Besucher der aufstrebenden Mittelschicht mit Interesse an Menschenkenntnis anzog. Das Wachsfigurenkabinett fiel damit in die Kategorie der “nützliche Unterhaltung”, die der Wissens- und Charakterbildung diente. Madame Tussaud ist vielleicht die bekannteste Betreiberin eines Wachsfigurenkabinetts – keinesfalls aber die erste. Die Geschichte der kommerziellen Ausstellung lebensgroßer Wachsfiguren reicht ins beginnende 17. Jh. zurück, wobei sich das Konzept der Kabinette im Laufe der Jahrhunderte stark gewandelt hat. In dieser Arbeit werden drei Ausstellungsformen unterschieden: a) das barocke Figurengruppen-Kabinett, das programmatische oder allegorische Geschichten erzählt, b) die aufklärerische Portraitgalerie (wie z.B. Madame Tussauds), in der Persönlichkeiten als charakteristische Individuen vorgestellt werden, c) das moderne Tableau-Kabinett, wo alltägliche oder außergewöhnliche Ereignisse auf bis dahin unübertroffen realistische Weise wiedergegeben werden. Als Nachrichtenkanal und als Medium für realistische Wirklichkeitswiedergabe sind Wachsfigurenkabinette seit den 1920er Jahren überholt. Als Spiel mit der menschlichen Sinneswahrnehmung bleiben sie jedoch vorerst aktuell. / Waxworks were not always the cheap sensation spinners as which we perceive them today. Before the invention and wide-spread use of photography and illustrated magazines they were an important medium for distributing visual information. No other form of communication could offer such immediate representations the protagonists of world history. Perhaps the greatest part in their success took the material wax which allowed the creation of deceptively lifelike and hitherto most realistic depictions of celebrated individuals. In this thesis, Madame Tussaud’s serves as a prime example for examining the mode of operation of a waxwork exhibition. As far as the sources allow, the itinerary, the ‘cast’ and display of the exhibition is reconstructed, as well as the number and the social background of its visitors during the first half of the 19th century. It emerges that Marie Tussaud was a talented portrait artist and a show woman of ambition whose carefully constructed exhibition attracted mainly middle-class visitors with an interest in human classification. Thus, the waxworks was a ‘rational entertainment’ that was thought to further the development of knowledge and character in its visitors. While Madame Tussaud’s was perhaps the most famous waxworks, it was not the first one. The history of commercial exhibition of life-sized wax figures goes back to the 17th century. Their concept, however, changed significantly over the centuries. Three forms of waxworks are differentiated here: a) the baroque waxworks of groups of figures narrating programmatic and allegorical stories, b) the enlightened portrait gallery – such as Madame Tussaud’s – where celebrities are presented as individual characters, c) the modern tableau waxworks, that represents extraordinary as well as everyday events in a realistic way that was hitherto unprecedented. As a channel for the distribution of news and as a medium for representing reality waxworks have become outdated. As a tickle for the senses, however, they will yet remain effective.
