Ph.D. / Until recently the majority of computer aided instruction (CAl) programs available for the teaching of history, only provided elementary facilities such as drill-and-practice exercises. Some of the more advanced systems use simulation techniques to create fictitious historical situations. These simulation systems take the form of computer games where the participants have to make decisions on historical situations with which they are confronted. The initial aim of this study was to develop a CAl-system for the teaching of history in which historical field battles could be simulated, or more correctly, in which a particular field battle situation could be reconstructed. By using the system, a student could get a better understanding of the different factors which played a role during a specific battle. It soon became clear though, that the original aims were too broad and too general. The decision was therefore made to undertake a study of the dynamic interrelationships of time and space with reference to field battles. A model was developed which provides a framework for the transformation of often unstructured and diffuse time and space relationships into more specific, structured values which can be loaded into the database of a computer. Historical field battles are used as a vehicle to outline the functioning of the model. After a history teacher or historian has analysed and restructured a specific field battle into relations that can be computerized, a history student can interactively formulate his questions on the time-space relationships of the battle under study. In the field battle model, the concept of an "event" plays an important role. An event defines an action or activity which took place during a field battle. Two of the major constituents of an event are the time when the event took place, and the geographical position where it occurred. Therefore much of the work reported in this thesis covers the development of algorithms for the representation of time and space relations. Algoritmhs were developed for the interactive drawing of geographical maps of the area where the battle took place. The main building blocks of a geographical map are points, icons, lines and areas. Special attention was given to the representation of these entities. Due to the limited viewing area available on the screen of a micro computer, an area clipping algorithm was developed for the display of selected parts of the map. Time which is observed under operational conditions during a field battle is referred to as "perceived time". Perceived time is often vague and even unreliable. An algorithm was developed through which these vague time references are transformed to more specific "clock time" values. The algorithm constructs a time network, using the vague known time of occurrence of events, to sequence the events relative to each other. By solving this network, the time of occurrence of the events forming part of the network, are determined to a fair degree of accuracy. These time values and other relevant information are entered into the database of a micro computer system, to be used for instructional purposes.

Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie studie is onderneem met die doel om 'n model te ontwikkel waarmee die wenner in 'n konvensionele landgeveg voorspel kan word. Gegewe die omvang van die vakgebied oorlog, is die studie beperk tot die taktiese vlak en fokus op landgevegte tydens konvensionele oorlogvoering. As eerste stap in die ontwikkelingpsproses, is die faktore wat wen kan bepaal krygskundig nagevors. Die sogenaamde honderdgevegte-datastel is saamgestel uit data van 100 gevegte uit die twintigste eeu en net vroeer, met die klem op gevegte waarin Suid-Afrikaanse magte betrokke was. Verskeie statistiese tegnieke is ondersoek om 'n geskikte tegniek vir die ontleding van die data te vind. Die ondersoek het aangetoon dat logistiese regressie die beste tegniek is vir die data. 'n Ontwikkelingsproses met drie voorspellers is ook saamgestel. Verskeie modelle is ondersoek, naamlik 1 'n Voorspellingsmodel met eensydige sub-modelle sonder gevegshouding, met en sonder opponentdata. I 2 'n Voorspellingsmodel met eensydige sub-modelle met gevegshouding, met en sonder opponentdata. 3 'n Voorspellingsmodel met tweesydige sub-modelle met opponentdata.. Die ontwikkelingsproses lewer verskeie modelle wat baie goed presteer sensitiwiteit > 80%). 'n Finale keuse lewer die volgende resultaat: 1 Vir die geval waar opponentdata nie beskikbaar is nie, is 'n eensydige submode! sonder gevegshouding ontwikkel waarvan die resultaat teen 'n skeidingsgrens gemeet word om die uitslag te bepaal. Die model het 'n sensitiwiteit van 85%, maar kan net 'n wen of gelykop, of, verloor of gelykop voorspel. 2 Vir die geval waar opponentdata beskikbaar is, is 'n eensydige sub-model ivsonder gevegshouding ontwikkel wat in staat is om, deur die opponente se uitslag met mekaar te vergelyk, die wenner aan te wys. Hierdie model het 'n sensitiwiteit van 83,8% Verskeie statistiese en krygskundige gevolgtrekkings word gemaak, die belangrikste waarvan dat die gekose modelle wel daartoe in staat is om gevegsvoorspellings akkuraat te kan uitvoer. Die modelle kan ook aangewend word om gevegte te ontleed en tendense te verklaar. Krygskundig bevestig die resultaat die noodsaaklikheid van die maneuvreringsbenadering en goeie leierskap. Die resultaat van die studie het wye aanwendingspotensiaal op die gebied van die krygskunde, krygsfilosofie, krygspele en militere operasionele navorsing en laat ruimte vir interessante en noodsaaklike verdere navorsing in operasionele navorsing sowel as in die krygskunde. / The aim of this study is to develop models for the efficient prediction of the outcome of a land battle. The study is confined to conventional warfare at the tactical level. The first step was to identify the variables that may determine victory. Thirty such variables enjoying the support of various military historians and philosophers were selected. The hundred-battle data set, consisting of coded data for a hundred twentieth-century battles, was compiled. The thirty variables were encoded for each combatant. Since the outcome and most of the prediction variables are binary but a few are continuous, ordinary linear regression could not be used and several statistical and other techniques were evaluated. Logistic regression was found to be the best. A formalized development and selection process was applied to a number of broad model classes. These were 1 prediction models with one-sided sub-models without combat posture and with (without) opponent data 2 prediction models with one-sided sub-models with combat posture and with (without) opponent data 3 prediction models with two-sided sub-models without combat posture and with opponent data. The process provided several very good models and the following were selected. Without opponent data. A one-sided sub-model without combat posture, utilizing a discriminator was selected. It determines the outcome with a sensitivity of 85%. However, it only predicts victory or a draw, defeat or a draw. With opponent data. A one-sided sub-model without combat posture was selected. It predicts the outcome of battle by comparing the results of the two opponents. This model vishowed a sensitivity of 83,8%. Several statistical and military scientific conclusions followed, the most important being that the chosen models can accurately predict battle outcome or post facto determine the outcome. The models can also be used to analyze battles. In this role they confirm the importance of maneuver warfare and good leadership. The results of this study can be applied in military science, military philosophy and war gaming. The work fuses military philosophy with statistical analysis, is a first in the field and offers the possibility of breaking out of the mind-set of personal views and biases prevalent in military science. The method as such can be applied to different data bases representing war at other levels or with other technologies. / Philosophy / D.Phil. (Philosophy)

From the second chapter of the thesis deals with its main topic, the Emperor Justinian I., his life and reign and with his foreign, internal and religious policy. The final part presents appreciating of Justinian's personality.

La présente thèse de doctorat analyse l’influence du fusil à baïonnette sur la tactique de l’infanterie française au XVIIIe siècle. Les travaux concernant cette arme ont, jusqu’ici, surtout traité des modèles produits, des méthodes de fabrication et de l’approvisionnement des régiments. Notre approche est celle d’un historien au contact des collections d’un grand musée militaire. Elle consiste à étudier le fusil du point de vue du maniement et, plus généralement, de sa mise en œuvre contre l’ennemi. L’objectif est de comprendre comment l’armée royale s’est adaptée à une arme aux faibles capacités techniques et balistiques. Les sources exploitées sont nombreuses et variées : archives techniques et tactiques de l’armée de Terre, ouvrages imprimés relatifs à l’art de la guerre, objets des collections du musée de l’Armée, à Paris.La première partie est consacrée aux origines, au développement et à la description matérielle du fusil. La deuxième partie examine ses usages tactiques. Le grand débat qui en résulte, opposant les partisans de l’ordre profond aux défenseurs de l’ordre mince, fait l’objet d’une relecture documentée. L’entraînement des soldats, les conditions du combat de ligne et l’émergence de l’infanterie légère sont également étudiés. La troisième partie tente de mesurer l’efficacité du fusil : à l’observation de son rôle au cours des batailles de Höchstädt (1704), de Dettingen (1743), de Fontenoy (1745) et des Plaines d’Abraham (1759), succède l’analyse des blessures causées par les balles et les baïonnettes. Après un siècle d’emploi du fusil par l’armée de l’Ancien Régime, les bases tactiques des guerres de la Révolution et de l’Empire sont posées. / This PhD dissertation analyses the influence of the flintlock musket upon the French infantry in the 18th century. Until now, studies of this weapon have particularly focused on the manufactured types, the manufacturing methods and regiment supplies. Our approach is one of a historian’s, working in a major military museum. It consists of studying the handling of the flintlock and more broadly speaking, how it was used against the enemy. The objective is to understand how the royal army managed to adapt to a weapon with little technical and ballistic capacity. We used various source materials: the technical and tactical archives of the French Army, numerous printed works on the art of warfare and objects from various collections of the Army museum in Paris.The first part of this dissertation is devoted to the origins, the development and the technical description of the musket. The second part examines its tactical uses. The main ensuing debate opposing supporters of the deep order against those of the thin line order has been re-examined in the light of new documents. The soldiers’ training, the conditions of line warfare and the emergence of the light infantry are also studied. The third part tries to assess the efficiency of the musket: the part it played during the battles of Blenheim (1704), Dettingen (1743), Fontenoy (1745) and the Plains of Abraham (1759) is carefully studied, then an analysis of the wounds caused by its bullets and bayonets logically follows. After a century of the Old Regime Army's use of the musket, the tactical basis of the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars are set down.

A qualitative approach was selected, aiming the use of some elements of a Thick Description cited by Geertz (1989) and some elements of the notion of genre of discourse from Bakhtin (2003). The data were collected, analyzed and interpreted considering the contextualization of them, through steps that implicated: a bibliographical, documental and archives survey, field research, interviews with various agents of the festivities, and musical transcriptions, analyses and interpretations. The results revealed that the Holy Spirit Festival and the congada from Niquelândia were built in a historic and current process of encounters and battles of representations among groups from different socio-cultural fields. Meanings and significances were related, so, not only with the festivals, but also with a hybrid musical complex, religious and profane, Afro-Brazilian and European, most considerable representation of the multiple identities that compose the agents of the two festivals studied. Therefore, it was possible to prove that the festivals and the music studied are a result of investment in the city of Niquelândia because they integrate identity processes in this scenario, processes implicated with battles of social representations which forces that these cultural manifestations happen separately, in two different dates and locations. / O objeto de estudo deste trabalho é a música integrante de duas manifestações culturais religioso-populares que acontecem de forma separada na histórica cidade de Niquelândia-GO, ao contrário do que se costuma observar em outras regiões do país e do estado: a Congada e a Festa do Divino, percebidas sob o enfoque das lutas de representações (CHARTIER, 1990) e dos processos identitários (HALL, 2006) que as forjaram e as tem ressignificado nessa trama sociocultural. Um enfoque de base qualitativa foi adotado, tendo em vista a utilização de alguns elementos de uma descrição densa mencionada por Geertz (1989) e de alguns elementos da noção de gênero do discurso de Bakhtin (2003). Os dados foram coletados, analisados e interpretados levando em consideração a contextualização dos mesmos, numa trajetória que implicou levantamento bibliográfico, documental e arquivístico, pesquisa de campo, realização de entrevistas com diferentes atores das festividades, transcrições, análise e interpretação musicais. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que a festa do Divino e a congada niquelandenses, de forma especial as músicas que as integram, foram construídas num processo histórico e atual de encontros e lutas de representações entre grupos pertencentes a esferas socioculturais distintas. Sentidos e significados foram relacionados, portanto, não somente às festas, mas também a um repertório musical híbrido, religioso e profano, afro-brasileiro e europeu, representativo de processos identitários efetivados por atores das duas festas estudadas. Assim, foi possível comprovar a pressuposição de que as festas e as músicas estudadas são fruto de investimento na cidade de Niquelândia porque integram processos identitários nesse cenário, processos esses implicados com lutas de representações sociais que fazem com que essas manifestações culturais aconteçam separadas, em datas e locais diferentes.

La guerre de Succession d'Espagne, dernière guerre du règne de Louis XIV, est marquée par une série de défaites retentissantes : Blenheim (1704, Bavière), Ramillies et Turin (1706, Brabant et Piémont), Audenarde (1708, Flandre). L’approche qualifiée de « nouvelle histoire-bataille » permet de relativiser la vision traditionnelle qui explique ces défaites par le talent supérieur de John Churchill, duc de Marlborough, et du prince Eugène de Savoie, affrontant des généraux français courtisans et incompétents. Cette approche met l’événement-bataille au centre de l’étude et en aborde tous les aspects : dimensions politique, stratégique et tactique ; logistique ; techniques du combat et expériences ressenties sur le champ de bataille ; onde de choc.On constate que la guerre au début du XVIIIe siècle est à bien des égards limitée : les armées dépendent de leurs sources d’approvisionnement. Eugène et Marlborough, par leur audace et leur talent, accélèrent le rythme des opérations, mais sans renverser cet état de fait : aucune bataille n’est individuellement « décisive » et la guerre de Succession d'Espagne reste une guerre d’attrition. Les batailles sont le lieu d’une expérience du combat singulière, où se voient portées à leur paroxysme l’ensemble des formes d’affrontement et de violence que comporte la guerre de l’époque. Enfin, l’image d’une bataille se dégage lentement. Les courtisans doivent comparer nouvelles officielles, correspondances privées et gazettes pour comprendre ce qui s’est passé. Le roi mène des enquêtes pour déterminer qui a bien agi et qui a démérité. En définitive, c’est aux écrivains et aux artistes de fixer l’image que la postérité aura de ces batailles. / The war of the Spanish Succession is the last war fought by Louis XIV. It begins with a succession of astonishing defeats: Blenheim (Bavaria, 1704), Ramillies and Turin (Brabant and Piedmont, 1706), Audenarde (Flanders, 1708). The method known as “new battle-history” lets us temper the traditional vision, which claims that French have been defeated because their armies where led by courtiers that faced two military geniuses: John Churchill, duke of Marlborough, and Prince Eugene of Savoy. This historiographic approach focuses on the battle as an event, and seeks to treat it in all its dimensions: political, strategic and tactical aspects; logistics; how soldiers fight and what they feel; shock wave.Early eighteenth-century warfare is in many ways limited: armies highly rely on their supply sources. Eugene and Marlborough, thanks to their audacity and their talent, are able to speed up the operations, but without changing the way war is fought. There is no single “decisive” battle: the war of the Spanish Succession remains as a war of attrition. Battles are rare and formidable events where a singular fighting experience takes place; all contemporary kinds of combat and violence are to be observed. The importance of a battle is not immediately obvious. Its image takes time to come out. Versailles’ courtiers need to compare official news, private letters, French or foreign gazettes, in order to understand what happened. The king conducts investigations to identify the generals and units that have served well, and those that have not. In the end, it is writers and artists who are in charge of fixing what image of these battles will be left for posterity.

To understand this process, we intend to analyze the production of the aforementioned authors as well as more recent studies, trying to discern or identify an attempt to link them to the family name to the history of Albuquerque Maranh?o State, which ended up giving visibility to this group, making it the characters featured in the scenario of local history, investing them with a monumental character. In addition to historical analysis, we observe changes in the urban landscape of the city of Natal in the early twentieth century orchestrated by members of this family, which tied his line to public spaces for a new and modern city. Through this review, we will be able to realize that such practices turned out to be a stage of political disputes between Albuquerque Maranh?o and opposition groups who were anxious to remove them both from the center of historical narratives on the Rio Grande do Norte, as well as the political space of the State environment exclusive domain of this group for nearly twenty years / O objetivo do presente trabalho ? discutir a constru??o de um processo de monumentaliza??o da fam?lia Albuquerque Maranh?o que se evidenciou tanto na historiografia tradicional norte-rio-grandense, representada por Tavares de Lyra, Rocha Pombo e C?mara Cascudo, quanto se refletiu nos espa?os urbanos da cidade do Natal.

[pt] O foco do presente estudo são Batalhas de Rap femininas. Busca-se compreender metapragmáticas construídas em Batalhas de Rap femininas em dois canais do YouTube. A pesquisa parte do pressuposto histórico e social do Hip-hop, em que se inserem as Batalhas de Rap, como um ambiente de hegemonia masculina. A orientação teórica é da Sociolinguística Contemporânea, no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada, em interface com a Antropologia Linguística, Pragmática e Filosofia da Linguagem. A linguagem é entendida como performatização de sentidos. São utilizados conceitos de performance, performatividade, metapragmática, indexicalidade, entextualização e escala. A metodologia é da etnografia com a concepção de mobilidade onlineOffline em visão qualitativa e interpretativista. Nos dados analisados, as batalhas, ao viajarem para o YouTube, em vídeos, recebem reescalonamentos de significados estabilizados e a produção de outros. A palavra, como eixo central das batalhas, é um mecanismo de operação de significados em lutas que atravessam a vivência das MCs. As metapragmáticas apontam para causas coletivas de forma espiralar e trazem outras vozes para as rimas. O processo semiótico nas rimas das MCs busca produzir alianças das mulheres no rap. Os significados são avaliados pela audiência virtual em comentários, o que promove a construção reflexiva sobre as escalas. Vimos assim que as produções de sentido nas Batalhas de Rap femininas funcionam com ordens de indexicalidade, de forma a operar metapragmáticas sobre a prática cultural e sobre a vida. Os significados são entrelaçados por questões históricas, políticas, sociais e culturais sobre mulheres negras, lésbicas, paternidade, sexualidade, assédio, representatividade e religião. / [en] The focus of the present study is female Rap Battles. It seeks to understand metapragmatics built in female Rap Battles on two YouTube channels. The research lies in the historical and social assumptions of Hip-hop, in which Rap Battles are inserted, as an environment of male hegemony. Its theoretical orientation is Contemporary Sociolinguistics, within the scope of Applied Linguistics, in interface with Linguistic Anthropology, Pragmatics and Philosophy of Language. Language is understood as performance of meanings. Concepts of performance, performativity, metapragmatics, indexicality, entextualization and scale are used. The methodology adopted is ethnography with the concept of onlineOffline mobility in a qualitative and interpretive view. The analyzed data point out that when battles are posted on YouTube, stabilized meanings suffer a process of rescaling and meaning productions. The word, as the central axis of the battles, is a mechanism for operating meanings in struggles that cross the experience of the MCs. Metapragmatics point to collective causes in a spiral fashion and bring other voices to the rhymes. The semiotic process in the MCs rhymes seeks to produce alliances between women in rap. Meanings are evaluated by the virtual audience in comments, which promotes a reflective construction on the scales. Thus, we could notice the productions of meaning in female Rap Battles work with orders of indexicality, in order to operate metapragmatics on both cultural practice and life. Meanings are intertwined by historical, political, social and cultural issues about black women, lesbians, parenthood, sexuality, harassment, representation and religion.
