Base IEL resumo: Leitura comparativa de duas refacções da matéria de Bretanha produzidas no século XIX: Idylls of the King, de Alfred Tennyson, e A Connecticut Yankec in King Arthur's Court, de Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain). O interesse em um estudo comparativo das duas obras é grande, uma vez que, tendo utilizado o mesmo texto como fonte básica para suas refacções - Le Morte D'Arthur (Thomas Malory) -, Tennyson e Clemens produziram obras profundamente diferentes, tanto na abordagem quanto no tratamento da matéria de Bretanha. Da comparação feita entre as alterações promovidas por um e outro autor, ao trabalharem com o texto de Malory, é delineado um interessante quadro histórico-social, bem como são levantadas algumas hipóteses relativas à manutenção do interesse literário por histórias de natureza arturiana / Abstract: Not informed. / Mestrado / Teoria Literaria / Mestre em Letras

No / Munro Price has meticulously researched the mood, atmosphere and personalities behind the palace walls. At the heart of this research is a cache of letters that sheds new light on the lives of the royals, as the monarchy was gradually stripped of its power and revolutionary fervour called for their execution. The central character in this new evidence is the Baron de Breteuil, Louis's ambassador in exile, who orchestrated doomed escape plans and co-ordinated the international response to the revolution.This new book reassesses a perennially interesting period of history and will shed fresh insight into one of the real tuning points in European history

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The empathizing-systemizing (E-S) theory states that individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) can be identified by a deficit in empathy (social skills, communication skills, and theory of mind) and a propensity for systemizing (islets of ability, obsessions with systems, and repetitive behavior). This theory has been tested in various contexts, but never with adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16. The EQ-A (Empathizing Quotient for Adolescents) and the SQ-A (Systemizing Quotient for Adolescents) were administered to 47 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16 who had been diagnosed with ASC and 97 adolescents with no reported physical or mental disorders to discover differences in empathizing and systemizing. To test the specific elements and predictions of the E-S theory, the EQ-A was divided into a set of three subscales derived by conceptually mapping items to factors corresponding to the concepts theoretically underlying the scale. The SQ-A was divided into subscales using factor analysis. It was found that all four subscales resulting from the factor analysis on the SQ-A were associated with obsessions with systems. A weak positive correlation was found between the SQ-A and the EQ-A. Although the EQ-A was able to differentiate significantly between individuals with an ASC and those without, the SQ-A was not. In addition, although the EQ-A and EQ-A subscales scores correlated with similar subscales scores of the GARS-2 (a well-validated existing autism screening test), the SQ-A and its subscales did not. Implications for the E-S Theory are discussed.

La France du XVIIIe rencontre plusieurs problèmes d'ordre religieux et politique qui ne manquent pas d'agiter la pensée critique des philosophes. Armés de leur plume, ces derniers engagent un combat contre l'intolérance religieuse et l'absolutisme à travers leurs œuvres. Étudiant différents régimes, les philosophes cherchent un modèle qui pourrait satisfaire une France en panne de ses institutions. Parmi les modèles éphémères qui leur parviennent, celui de la Chine, transmis de l'autre bout du monde par les missionnaires jésuites, éveille leur esprit et leur intérêt. Cet empire lointain est dépeint comme une terre de tolérance religieuse dirigée par un empereur bon et clément envers ses sujets. Un combat s'engage alors entre les sinophiles et les sinophobes, soit les admirateurs et les détracteurs de la référence chinoise. Parmi ces philosophes, deux figures de proue du Siècle éclairé s'affrontent, Voltaire et Montesquieu. Alors que Voltaire admire l'image de la Chine et l'utilise à plusieurs reprises pour critiquer la France, Montesquieu se montre plutôt sceptique avec les propos des jésuites et expose que cet empire ne doit pas être un modèle. Même si ces deux philosophes ont en main le même bassin de sources, leur interprétation et leur utilisation en sont complètement différentes. Entre despotisme et monarchie éclairée, entre athéisme, idolâtrie et déisme, la description de la Chine par le prisme missionnaire, puis philosophique, fait l'objet de plusieurs débats littéraires dans les milieux savants. Ceci ne manque pas d'éveiller la vieille querelle des rites chinois qui entraîne les jésuites à leur perte en même temps que le modèle chinois vers la fin du Siècle des Lumières.

This thesis examines the major works of two outstanding European poets, Lord Byron and Alexander Pushkin, with a view to estimating the extent of their literary and personal affinity. The study begins with a survey of biographical highlights which are relevant to the interpretation of the works of the two poets. Next, the thesis demonstrates that Byron's "Oriental Tales" and Pushkin's "Southern Poems," as well as their major works, play a prominent role in the comparison of their poetic characterizations. In the examination of style, attention is limited to Byron's Don Juan and Pushkin's Evgeny Onegin, since they are regarded as the masterpieces of their respective authors. An appraisal of the continuing fame of both poets closes the study.

L'écriture dans une langue « d'adoption » est un phénomène littéraire de plus en plus courant. À ce jour, la contextualisation qui en est faite gravite principalement autour de l'identitaire et de l'exil, et néglige une approche moins biographique, plus attentive à ce que l'on pourrait appeler une poétique du bilinguisme, en filiation avec la philosophie du langage de Walter Benjamin. Le concept d'une langue pure, résonnant dans le silence de chacune des langues comme une présence antérieure, peut permettre d'accéder à cette ouverture des mots, et contribuer à réaliser leur simultané pouvoir de dévoilement et de dérobade, comme une invitation à l'écoute attentive de ce qui se dit à travers eux. de Silvia Baron Supervielle, écrivaine et traductrice francophone d'origine argentine, témoigne de l'extériorité inhérente aux langues. L'analyse du mémoire essaye de manière suggestive, par un agencement de concepts philosophiques complémentaires, de rendre palpable cette voix singulière dans trois publications de genres différents : réflexions philosophiques sur les langues (l'alphabet du feu), journal de lectrice et de poète (Le pays de l'écriture), poème en prose (La frontière). Il s'agit moins de formuler une théorie de l'entre- deux-langues que de montrer l'ouverture du verbe générée par l'écriture d'une langue à l'autre. / Writing in an «adopted» language has become more and more a common literary phenomenon. To date, its contextualisation mostly emphasizes on the topics of identity and exile, and neglects a less biographic approach, that would more likely refer to a poetic of bilingualism in the tradition of Walter Benjamin's philosophy of language. The concept of a pure language, resonating within the silence of each language like the evidence of an elapsed presence, can help to access this opening-dimension of words, their concurrent power of both unveiling and eluding what they supposedly name; it might lead to an attention on what's being said through them. The work of Silvia Baron Supervielle, a francophone writer and translator of Argentinian origin, testifies this exteriority inherent to all languages. By configuring complementary philosophical concepts, the thesis' analysis aims, in a suggestive way, to make this singular voice palpable in three publication of different genres: philosophical reflections on language (L'alphabet du feu), a diary of a reading poet (Le pays de l'écriture), and a poem in prose (La frontière). It intends less to develop a theory of the in-between-language than rather to show the opening of the word, generated by the writing from one language to the other.
