The Conundrums of Narrative: Cervantes in the Context of the Crónicas de IndiasRius, Antonio 23 February 2016 (has links)
My intellectual interests span the Atlantic and are anchored in early modern narrative. Balancing original research, literary analysis and humanist literary criticism, my dissertation, “The Conundrums of Narrative: Cervantes in the Context of the Crónicas de Indias” attempts to bring a fresh understanding on the reciprocal relationship between emerging discourses of the New World and Spain –in particular, the kinds of narrative that coalesce into the (early) modern novel and the equally complex and imaginative forms of narrative on display in the Crónicas de Indias. My inquiry takes up two key sixteenth-century historiographical accounts of the Americas which include Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo’s Sumario de la natural historia de las Indias and Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s Historia verdadera de la conquista de la nueva España. I deploy these texts, which problematize the relationship of history to ‘poetry’ (a category which for early moderns included imaginative prose), to shed new light on the narrative strategies employed in Don Quixote and the Persiles. Along the way, I argue that the significant role that memory and mnemonics play in Cervantes’s imitation of literary models contributes to the epistemological and narratological concerns produced by the New World encounter, and I examine the use of memory in the construction of textual authority. For example: the first portion of my dissertation analyzes the writings of Juan Luis Vives (1492- 1540) as a means to explore the humanist thinking on the writing of history. Vives’ contribution to the practice and rhetoric of history allows me to examine difficulties and paradoxes posed by the interplay of history and poetry in Cervantes.

The string quartets of Miguel Bernal Jimenez and Silvestre Revueltas: twentieth century Mexican composersPierce, Charlotte E., Pierce, Charlotte E. January 1981 (has links)
Mexico, a land of contrast and mystery, was the birthplace of the two composers included in this study. These two composers were chosen for several reasons: the two men represent the enigma of the country that influenced their development and each of them molded Mexico's popular musical heritage into a classical format. Miguel Bernal Jiménez was considered in 1941 as the most brilliant composer of Catholic Mexico; Silvestre Revueltas received the title of Mexico's greatest composer, yet today the composers are almost unknown in the United States.
Arizona, and Tucson in particular, are situated so near to Mexico that it is important to become aware of that country's varied musical heritage in the classical idiom, as well as its other cultural and historical aspects. As a resident in Mexico for three years with a previously acquired interest in Latin American music, the writer became increasingly involved in study of the music. Her residence laid a foundation for research into these two composers.
When the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México, one of Mexico's major symphony orchestras based in Toluca near Mexico City, made a nationwide tour of the United States in June 1975, Revueltas' orchestral composition Sensemayá received several performances. The Tucson Symphony also performed Sensemayá in 1979 with Dr. George Trautwein conducting. The writer found this work to be fascinating and she wondered if Revueltas had written works for cello; with research she found that he did not write for cello solo, but that he composed for string quartet.
The writer first encountered the Cuarteto Virreinal by Miguel Bernal Jiménez when she performed the work from manuscript with a professional string quartet sponsored by Patrimonio Cultural in Toluca, Mexico. The work is a pleasant combination of classical and Mexican qualities; the writer decided that someday she would like to perform it for audiences in the United States.

CHIVALRY THROUGH A WOMAN'S PEN: BEATRIZ BERNAL AND HER CRISTALIÁN DE ESPAÑA: A TRANSCRIPTION AND STUDYShearn, Jodi Growitz January 2012 (has links)
This doctoral dissertation is a paleographic transcription of a Spanish chivalric romance written by Beatriz Bernal in 1545. Cristalián de España, as the text is referred to, was printed twice in its full book form, four parts and 304 folios. It was also well-received outside of the Iberian Peninsula, and published twice in its Italian translation. This incunabulum is quite a contribution to the chivalric genre for many reasons. It is not only well-written and highly entertaining, but it is the only known Castilian romance of its kind written by a woman. This detail cannot be over-emphasized. Chivalric tales have been enjoyed for centuries and throughout many different mediums. Readers and listeners alike had been enjoying these romances years before the libros de caballerías reached the height of their popularity in Spain. Hundreds of contributions to the genre are still in print today and available in numerous translations. Given this reality, it seems highly suspect that this romance, penned by a woman, and of excellent quality, is not found on the shelves next to other texts of the genre. Cristalián, despite what scholars of the genre have erroneously posited, was not an obscure text in sixteenth-century Spain. Bookstore and print-shop inventories of its time list numerous copies of Bernal's romance in bound book form, which confirm that Cristalián was circulating for at least sixty years. The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold. In order for Cristalián to be included in conversations of any nature, it must be made available. This transcription of Book I and II seeks to accomplish that. Secondly, current scholarship must re-imagine erroneous constructions of sixteenth-century reader's preferences. These prevalent constructions have often excluded noteworthy contributions to literature, especially those written by women. My aim is to redress this imbalance by analyzing Beatriz Bernal's written text and her writing strategies. The first three sections of the accompanying study more thoroughly address the challenges facing women writers in sixteenth-century Spain while also considering issues of literacy, reader preferences, and text distribution of the period. The last sections of the study are devoted specifically to the chivalric genre, and to Bernal's exemplary romance, Cristalián de España. Also included in the appendix are woodcuts from both Castilian editions, the proemio from the second edition, the chapter rubrics from Book I and II, and an index of characters from the narration. / Spanish

Previous issue date: 2017-09-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This dissertation focuses on the idea of Scientific Revolution according to John Desmond Bernal (1901-1971), remarkable British scientist who started the studies about science based on Marxist concepts. The first chapter is about the existence of multiple possibilities for historical approaches about the Scientific Revolution, as well as the concepts Bernal came up with and how it is stablished within his own time, the 1950’s and 1960’s. The second chapter focuses on the production of Bernal’s theory, his view of science in a time when the discussions about which role should the State play in the society, and the social responsibilities of the institutions. It also discusses Bernal’s perspectives and role at that historical moment, from his defense of the Soviet Union as the ideal social model for the development of science and Marxism as a way to understand science itself. It is also about how his beliefs brought up a great debate with intellectuals and scientists of that time with many divergent political beliefs concerning the role science should play, and from which standpoint it should be put into practice. The third chapter is about the concept of Scientific Revolution found in Science in History and how it is connected to the ideas of production according to Marx’s theory. The first part of this chapter analyses the importance Bernal gives to Marx’s idea of production to develop his own studies about history of science. The second part addresses the way Bernal tried to bring a new meaning to the Scientific Revolution, as a special moment in which the natural sciences are no longer determined just by social production, but also seen as a fundamental productive power to make social changes possible / Esta dissertação aborda a ideia de Revolução Cientifica no pensamento de John Desmond Bernal (1901-1971), destacado cientista britânico que desenvolveu estudos em história da ciência baseado em concepções marxistas. O primeiro capítulo mostra a existência de múltiplas possibilidades de abordagens historiográficas sobre a Revolução Cientifica, bem como a concepção que Bernal elaborou e como ela está estabelecida dentro das visões de sua época, os anos 1950 e 1960. O segundo capítulo focaliza a produção teórica de Bernal, sua visão sobre ciência num período em que as discussões sobre o papel que o Estado deveria cumprir na sociedade, bem como as responsabilidades sociais das instituições estavam na ordem do dia. Trata, também, de suas perspectivas e seu papel naquele momento histórico, desde a defesa de Bernal da União Soviética enquanto modelo social ideal para o desenvolvimento da ciência e o marxismo enquanto o método para compreender o fazer científico. Ainda, como suas posturas geraram um forte debate com intelectuais e cientistas de sua época com diversas posições políticas diferentes em relação ao papel que a ciência deveria cumprir e a partir de que princípios deveria ser estudada e posta em prática. O terceiro capítulo trata em maior detalhe sobre a concepção de Revolução Científica expressa na obra Ciência na História e suas relações com a ideia de produção na teoria de Marx. A primeira parte deste capítulo analisa a importância dada por Bernal à ideia de produção em Marx para desenvolver a seus estudos sobre história da ciência. A segunda parte aborda a tentativa de Bernal de trazer um novo significado à Revolução Científica, como um momento especial no qual as ciências naturais passam a não ser apenas determinadas pelos modos de produção social, mas passam a ser uma força produtiva fundamental que possibilitaria mudanças no campo social

Simulations ab-initio des spectres Raman résonants dans le graphène, les multicouches de graphène et le graphite / Ab-initio resonant Raman simulations in graphene, few layer graphene, and graphiteTorche, Abderrezak 05 October 2017 (has links)
Les multicouches de graphène en empilement rhomboédrique sont considérés comme une phase prometteuse du carbone. Cela est due à la particularité de cette phase de pouvoir exhiber des états à forte corrélation électronique comme le magnétisme ou la supraconductivité à haute température critique. Ce qui est due, a son tour, à l’occurrence d’un état de surface avec une dispersion d’énergie électroniques quasi-nulle à proximité du niveau de Fermi. Malgré que le graphite Bernal soit la forme la plus stable du graphite, des échantillons a trois et quatre couches de graphène en empilement rhomboédrique ont pu être synthétisés. Plus récemment, des flocons d’épaisseur dépassant les 17 couches ont été isolés et provisoirement attribués à des séquences d’empilement rhomboédrique. Cette attribution à été faite via des expériences de spectroscopie Raman sous champ magnétique, bien que l’empreinte Raman des multicouche de graphène en empilement rhomboédrique est actuellement inconnue. Même le cas simple du spectre Raman résonnant à deux phonons (le pic 2D) du graphite Bernal n’est pas totalement compris. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous fournissons une description ab-initio complète du pic Raman 2D dans les systèmes de graphène à trois et quatre couches pour tous les empilements possibles, ainsi que pour le graphite Bernal, rhomboédrique et une alternance de graphite Bernal et rhomboédrique. / Multi-layer graphene with rhombohedral ABC stacking is considered as a promising carbon phase possibly displaying correlated states like magnetism or high-T c superconductivity due to the occurrence of an ultraflat electronic surface band at the Fermi level. Despite Bernal graphite being the most stable form of graphite, three and four layers graphene samples with rhombohedral stacking can be synthesized. Recently, flakes of thickness up to 17 layers were tentatively attributed ABC sequences although the Raman fingerprint of rhombohedral multilayer graphene is currently unknown and the 2D two-phonon resonant Raman spectrum of Bernal graphite not completely theoretically understood. Here we provide a complete first principles description of the 2D Raman peak in three and four layer graphene for all possible stackings, as well as for bulk Bernal, rhombohedral and an alternation of Bernal and rhombohedral graphite, that can be seen as a periodic sequence of ABA and ABC trilayers. Calculations for several laser energies are performed and we give practical prescriptions are proposed to identify long range sequences of ABC multi-layer graphene flakes.

Sublimés des Nouveaux Mondes – Évocation des lieux de l'expansion européenne dans les imprimés français, des origines à 1560 / Distilled New Worlds – Mentions of the European expansion in French printed writings before 1560Masse, Vincent 02 March 2010 (has links)
Cette thèse propose l'analyse des processus de l'intégration discursive des « Nouveaux Mondes » – c'est-à-dire des nouveaux lieux de l'expansion européenne des XVe et XVIe siècles – dans les imprimés français d'avant 1560. Le corpus s'y veut exhaustif, mais l'étude porte en priorité sur (1) les mentions brèves (dites sublimées), que celles-ci relèvent de la digression ou qu'elles soient intégrées, et (2) les textes actualisés, c’est-à-dire les traductions, les rééditions avec annexes, les adaptations, etc. Une division bipartite et heuristique est proposée, avec d'une part les actualisations d'écrits procédant par l'exclusion d'un ou d'élément(s) de l'hypotexte (c'est-à-dire du matériel textuel qui préexiste à l'acte de publication), et d'autre part par l'adjonction d'éléments supplémentaires. Cette division permet d'analyser les dits lieux, d'une part en fonction d'un principe de pertinence (lequel est révélé par les phénomènes d'exclusion), et d'autre part en fonction d'une recherche de l'inédit, voire de l'acte contentieux (qu'exprime éloquemment l'acte d'adjonction). La thèse démontre comment les deux principes, celui de la pertinence et celui de la recherche de l'inédit, sont liés à la culture émergente de l'imprimé, ainsi qu'au développement d'une grande variété de genres et de discours: littérature géographique, chroniques annales, pamphlets ou manuels anti-syphilitiques, lettres missionnaires, littérature eschatologique, traités didactiques, etc. Le concept d'acte de publication, qui est corrélatif à celui d'actualisation, permet d'aller au-delà d'une opposition entre l'ouvrage dit « périmé » et l'ouvrage dit « progressiste ». Pour ce faire est reconsidéré l'apport, pour la diffusion des nouveaux lieux, de textes comme le Tractatus de sphaera de Joannes de Sacrobosco (XIIIe siècle) et la lettre apocryphe du Prêtre Jean (XIIe siècle), qui aux XVe et XVIe siècles sont réactualisés suivant une perspective heuristique ou didactique, et participent ainsi à l'émergence d'une économie discursive des « Nouveaux Mondes ».
