Diverse Vorüberlegungen resultieren in der Frage, ob nicht ein der Kaiserchronik inhärentes didaktisches Konzept die Sinnvermittlung bewirken soll. Dazu werden die Lehrinhalte der Kaiserchronik betrachtet. Als ein Neueinsatz in der Weise, wie Historie im literarischen volkssprachigen Medium präsentiert wird, kann die in der Caesargeschichte der Kaiserchronik zu bemerkende Doppelung der Handlung gewertet werden. Am Beispiel der Geschichten Konstantins und Karls kann aufgezeigt werden, wie der Dialog die Struktur und Erzählweise des Textes dominiert. Im Hinblick auf die erste Bayrische Fortsetzung der Kaiserchronik, möchte ich von einem progressiven Intertextualitätsverständnis sprechen, das den Quellenbezug nicht überbewertet, sondern sich auf die Einbettung des von einem Prätext entliehenen Kontexts in den neu zu konzipierenden Text konzentriert. In der Continuatio macht sich dieser progressive Intertextualitätsbegriff insofern bemerkbar, als der Prätext nicht unreflektiert übernommen wird, sondern zuerst an ihm und dann mit ihm weitergearbeitet wird. / With regard to the construction of sense in the Chronicle of Emperors, an inherent didactic concept can be detected. New presentation techniques of the literary medium of the 12th century like a hero`s two-fold adventure pathway to maturity allow for more complex views of the well-known Caesar tales. On the other hand, dialogue is still dominant as a rhetorical means as structure and narration of the Charlemagne and the Constantine tales disclose. As a final aspect, the Continuatio, the first Bavarian continuation of the Chronicle of Emperors, is under scrutiny. The progressive concept of intertextuality concentrates on the new text, not entirely ignoring the original text, but rather embedding old context in new surroundings.

Peintre bruxellois aujourd’hui méconnu, Léon Frederic (1856-1940), surnommé le « gothique moderne », tint un rôle important au tournant du XXe siècle comme l’un des représentants de la modernité picturale belge, tant sur la scène artistique nationale qu’internationale. S’appuyant sur un examen rigoureux d’un fonds d’atelier de plusieurs milliers de pièces, d’archives et de correspondances inédites, ainsi que sur l’établissement du catalogue raisonné de l’œuvre, cette étude souhaite reconstituer la trajectoire d’un peintre omniprésent, oublié face à la « mythologie de rupture » des avant-gardes. Si l’histoire de l’art a retenu l’image d’un peintre mystique reclus à la campagne, l’appréhension de sa carrière a permis de reconstituer le portrait d’un faux-naïf conscient des enjeux promotionnels, appartenant à une nouvelle élite belge qui fut à l’origine de l’intense vie culturelle bruxelloise. Frederic a su élaborer une mise en image inédite du « peuple », ouvrier et paysan, aussi bien comme point de convergence de l’image utile et morale, souhaitée par les tenants de l’art social, que comme projection d’un imaginaire culturel issu de la tradition et propre à une élite en quête d’un avenir meilleur pour les classes défavorisées. Stylistiquement, son art, se rapprochant de l’« archaïsme moderne » cher à Emile Verhaeren, l’impose dans le nouveau champ moderniste des sécessions comme l’ethnotype idéal et recherché de l’artiste « flamand ». Peintre bourgeois et marginal, élitaire et social, national et cosmopolite, Frederic est apparu comme l’un des hérauts adoubés de la modernité du temps et nous invite à remettre en question la binarité de la conception de l’art à la fin du XIXe siècle. / The Belgian painter Léon Frederic (1856-1940), nicknamed the “gothique moderne”, played a key role at the turn of the 20th century as one of the main actors of Belgian modern art, both on the national and international artistic scene. Based on a rigorous examination of a studio collection of several thousand pieces, archives and unpublished correspondence, as well as on the realization of the catalogue raisonné of the work, this study aims to reconstruct the trajectory of an omnipresent painter, forgotten faced with the "mythology of rupture" of the avant-garde. If the history of art has retained the image of a mystical painter recluse in the countryside, the comprehension of his career enabled to reconstruct the portrait of a “faux-naïf” aware of the promotional stakes. Frederic belongs to a new Belgian elite who was at the origin of the intense cultural life in Brussels. Throughout his career, he has developed a new image of the "people", worker and peasant, both as a point of convergence of the necessary and moral image, wanted by the supporters of the social art, and as a projection of a cultural imagination, specific to an elite in search of a better future for the underprivileged classes. Stylistically, his art, approaching the "archaïsme moderne" theorized by Emile Verhaeren, imposes it in the new international and modernist field of the Secessions as the ideal and sought-after ethnotype of the "Flemish" artist. A bourgeois and marginal painter, elite and social, national and cosmopolitan, Frederic appeared as one of the heralds of the modernity and invites us to question the binarity of the conception of art at the end of the 19th century.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os elementos contraditórios - ou seja, tanto as características aristocráticas quanto as modernizantes - próprios do período de transição em que a sociedade francesa se encontrava na virada do século XVIII para o XIX, presentes nos escritos de Dominique-Vivant Denon (1747-1825), Directeur Général des Musées durante o Consulado e o Império. Buscaremos compreender como uma figura oriunda da nobreza provinciana francesa conseguiu se equilibrar no jogo de forças políticas que se desenrolou na França com o advento da Revolução e como se tornou uma personagem fundamental na constituição de um dos grandes projetos políticos e culturais do período: a reformulação do Museu do Louvre. Em uma perspectiva mais ampla, pretenderemos investigar, através da produção de Vivant Denon, o fenômeno de reapropriação e ressignificação de uma tradição cultural associada ao Antigo Regime na construção do Império Napoleônico. / The object of this research is to study the contradictory elements - both aristocratic features as the modernizing ones - in the transition period from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth, present in the writings of Dominique-Vivant Denon (1747-1825), Directeur Général des Musées during the Consulate and the Empire. We seek to understand how a figure derived from the French provincial nobility managed to balance the game of political forces that unfolded in France with the Revolution and how he became a fundamental character in the consolidation of a major cultural and political projects of the period: the reformulation of Louvre Museum. In a broader perspective, the present study seeks to understand and investigate, through the writings of Vivant Denon, the phenomenon of reinterpretation of a cultural tradition associated with the Old Regime in the construction of the Napoleonic Empire.

A presente tese de doutorado realiza uma revisão e uma reinterpretação de textos épicos e suas variantes híbridas no Brasil, desde as tendências neoclássicas, do séc. XVIII, às românticas, do século XIX, que correspondem aos “momentos decisivos” da formação da literatura brasileira segundo Antonio Candido. É feita, ao mesmo tempo, uma releitura da crítica literária brasileira, tendo foco principal a observação, em nova perspectiva, da Formação da Literatura Brasileira (1959), de modo a repensar os índices de formação nesses textos e, também, a sua relação com a formação do Brasil-nação. Compreende-se que a literatura encarna e expõe impasses, reelaborando-os, findando por aliar forma literária e processo histórico-social; nesse sentido, o argumento do presente trabalho é orientado por base nas discussões sobre literatura brasileira feitas por Candido e Roberto Schwarz, aliando conceitos que propiciem tracejar uma perspectiva das relações entre a literatura e o processo histórico no que concerne à formação da poesia heróica no Brasil. Para tal, a pesquisa presta-se à análise em dois âmbitos: de uma releitura da fortuna crítica relacionada ao gênero ao longo do século XIX, seguida de uma leitura de poetas modernistas comparadas ao texto de Candido; por fim, uma leitura de índices de composição estética/estrutural interna inerente ao gênero (tais como proêmio, diegese, heroicidade), ligada ao campo de interpretação formativo (tais como voz narradora, antagonismo/protagonismo de elementos ou caracteres – principalmente dos ameríndios –, relação da forma literária, social e histórica do Brasil colônia e do Brasil independente), relacionando-os a índices de vitória e derrota em tais poemas com base na teoria de David Quint. A pesquisa envolve breve observações de tais índices na poesia, em especial em O Uruguai, O Caramuru, A Confederação dos Tamoios e I-Juca Pirama. Investiga-se sobre mediação feita pela literatura do período no que diz respeito à escolha da temática heróica e sua forma, compreendendo a poesia heróica narrativa como parte de um processo literário próprio, tomando por base textos da crítica materialista no Brasil – em que vale o conceito de nação periférica –, além de questionar acerca da formação da literatura brasileira (e da nação) e suas forças na estrutura literária e no processo social. Ainda, faz-se análise e crítica materialista do fundamento dessa literatura e do empenho da aplicação do gênero estético aqui estudado, bem como a avaliação estético-social e histórico-esturtural. / This PhD thesis makes a revision and a reiterpretation of epic texts and their hybrid variants in Brazil, from the neoclassical tendencies of the 18th century to the romantic tendencies of the 19th century, which correspond to the “decisive moments” of Brazilian literature’s formation according to Antonio Candido. At the same time, we do a reinterpretation of the Brazilian literary critique, focusing mainly on the observation, under a new perspective, of Fomação da Literatura Brasileira (1959), Candido’s book, in a way to rethink the traces of formation in these texts and their relation with the formation of Brazil as a nation. We understand that literature embodies and exposes impasses, repormulating them, ultimately allying literary form and social-historical process. In this sense, the argument of the present work follws Brazilian literature discussions made by Candido and Schwarz, bringing conceots to define the relations between literature and the historical process regarding the formation of the heroic poetry in Brazil. To this end, two ambits were analyzed: first, we reread the critical fortune related to the genre along the 19th century, and compare the modernist poets’ point of view to Candido’s text; secondly, we search for traces of internal aesthetical/structural composition inherent to the genre (such as proem, diegesis, heroicity). We aim to connect those points to the formative field if interpretation, which includes narrative voice and antagonism/protagonism of elements or characters – specially the Amerindians. Besides that, we seek for the relation between social, historical and literau from in Brazil (both Colonial and Independent) and the research involves short observations of that theory in O Uraguai, O Caramuru, A Confederação dos Tamoios e I-Juca Pirama. We investigate the mediation made by the literature of the 18th and de 19th centuries regarding the heroic theme and its form, comprehending the narrative as part of a specific literary process, based on the texts of the materialist critique in Brazil – in which the concept of peripheral nation is used. We inquire about the formation of Brazil – in which the concept of peripheral nation is used. We inquire about the formation of Brazil as a nation, as well as its materialist critique and analysis of the foundation of this literature and of the effort in the application of the aesthetical genre here studied, as well as a social-aesthetical and structural-historical evaluation.

Longtemps figé dans l'immobilité, le portrait peint de la Renaissance va s'animer grâce à une gestuelle qui fit l'objet d'une construction progressive. Très précoce, l'idée du geste: est présente dès 1440 chez Filippo Lippi dans les portraits féminins, à partir de 1450 chez Andrea del Castagno pour une effigie masculine et, en 1470, chez Antonello da Messina pour les mimiques. Mais la norme est au portrait en buste et d'autres freins, imposés par les commanditaires, perdureront jusqu'à la fin du XVIe siècle. En dépit des tentatives dissidentes d'Antonello da Messina, de Léonard de Vinci, ou, plus tard, de Bartolomeo Passerotti, c’est le modèle princier qui va s'imposer.Trois types d'écrits de l'Antiquité se préoccupent de l'apparence du corps et de la civilisation des mœurs : les préceptes éducatifs, souvent intégrés à des thèmes plus vastes, les traités de physiognomonie qui tentent de lire sur le visage les intentions ou la destinée de l'autre, et la rhétorique, qui s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l'ethos, au pathos mais aussi à la gestuelle de l'orateur. Ces textes seront reçus à la Renaissance dans divers domaines qui traitent tous, à un moment ou un autre, du geste. Les traités des éducateurs du Quattrocento, qui jalonnent la mise en œuvre d’une véritable réforme, cèderont la place aux manuels de savoir-vivre du XVIe siècle. A partir de 1455, les maîtres à danser lombards posèrent par écrit les premiers éléments d'une théorie de la danse. Les traités artistiques s'intéressèrent au decorum dans lequel s'inscrit le geste. Au tout début du XVIIe siècle, un certain nombre de conventions furent enregistrées dans des recueils illustrés de chironomie. Loin de considérer le doigt, la main ou les membres comme des détails sémantiques, cette thèse montre que la gestuelle est un signal social à replacer dans son environnement. Elle s’est ouverte sur l’histoire de l’éducation, centrale dans celle du geste, ainsi que sur celle du genre, ou encore de la place de l’enfant et de la parentalité. Une place importante a été consacrée à l’histoire du costume, celui que l’on a choisi pour ces images. Au terme de ce travail, il devient évident que le Moyen Âge n’est pas la seule période à avoir vu se développer une "civilisation du geste". L'analyse des textes, de l’Antiquité comme de la Renaissance, révèle une remarquable continuité dans la conception et les théories relatives à la gestuelle, sous-tendue par l'Institution Oratoire, particulièrement la partie traitant de l'actio. Quintilien eut une réception de longue durée dans les arts de la prédication et, de manière plus subtile, ses qualités d’éducateur et d’observateur de l'enfance ont également favorisé sa transmission dans le cadre pédagogique. Cet auteur enseignait l’utilisation programmée du geste pour appuyer le discours, pointant comme un défaut la négligence dans "la toge, la chaussure et le cheveu". Déjà pour lui, ce soin devait être imperceptible, l’éducation et l’apprêt physique devenant comme une seconde nature, la sprezzatura avant l'heure. Parcourant nos images, la référence à l'actio qui s'est imposée depuis l'Antiquité dans l'éducation, l'expression, la représentation imagée ou théâtrale, rend compte de la précocité de cette civilisation et de sa pérennité dans le temps. Le geste s’impose comme un patrimoine vivant, transmis le plus souvent de manière inconsciente de siècle en siècle, par le biais d’une multitude de canaux et de disciplines, parmi lesquels on compte le portrait, à la fois récepteur et vecteur. / The portrait, long considered as a rigid pictorial genre, became increasingly lively through the progressive introduction of gestural expression. This idea appeared as early as 1440 in Filippo Lippi’s female portraits, in 1450 in Andrea del Castagno’s painting of a man and in 1470, in Antonello da Messina’s mimes. But the standard surrounding is bust-length portraiture and other restrictions on movement, imposed by the commissions, lasted until the 16th century. Despite various dissenting works, such as those of Antonello da Messina, Leonardo Da Vinci, or later, Bartolomeo Passerotti, the Princely model held sway.In Antiquity, three literary categories, each with a different approach, addressed the appearance of the body and civilization of the customs : educational precepts often contained within vaster literary works, physiognomic treatises — which attempt to read from faces an individual’s intentions and destiny — and rhetorical studies which, in particular, concern the ethos and the pathos, but equally the orator’s gestures. During the Renaissance these three disciplines all influenced various domains, which are interested, at one point or another, in the gesture. The Quattocento’s didactic treatises, which paved the way for a true reform, were replaced by manuals of etiquette in the 16th century. From 1455, the Lombard dancing masters wrote the initial elements of a theory of dance. Artistic treatises on painting and sculpture insist on the decorum which included gesture. At the very beginning of the 17th century, a certain number of modern conventions were recorded in illustrated collections of chironomy.Far from considering the finger, the hand or the members as semantic details, this thesis shows that body movement is a social signal to be placed back in its environment. It open on the history of education, central in that of gesture, as well as on that of the genre, or still the place of children and the parenthood. An important place was dedicated to the history of the garment, the one that was chose for these pictures.Through this work, it becomes obvious that the Middle Ages are not the only period to have seen developing a "civilization of the gesture". The analysis of texts, of Antiquity as of Renaissance, reveals a remarkable continuity in the conception and the theories relative to the body movements, underlain by the Oratorical Institution, particularly the part dealing with the actio. Quintilien had a long-term reception in the arts of preaching and, in a more subtle way, his qualities of educator and observer of the childhood also favoured his transmission in the educational frame. This author taught the use scheduled of the gesture to support the speech, considering a defect the carelessness in "the toga, the shoe and the hair". Already for him, this care was to be imperceptible, the education and the body care becoming as a second nature, the sprezzatura before time. Browsing our images, the reference to the actio that got established since Antiquity in education, expression, and both pictorial and theatrical imagery, acknowledges how precocious that civilization was and how perennial it has been.The gesture is asserted as a living heritage, transmitted more or less consciously through time, through a myriad of conduits and disciplines, including the portrait, both as recipient and vector.

Exercitando um escopo de análise histórico e eclético, a presente dissertação versará sobre o funcionamento de um sistema administrativo misto, arquitetado no formato de nodos interconectados, ou apenas rede, em prol da manutenção de um espaço jurisdicional ultramarino. Nessa empreitada, seremos guiados por duas traves-mestras: a primeira é o interesse nos fenômenos advindos dos contatos intersociais, a segunda é a análise perscrutada da documentação inserida nas Fontes para a história de Angola do século XVII, organizadas por Beatrix Heintze. Problematizando algumas das situações coetâneas pelas quais passavam a expansão portuguesa na África Centro-Ocidental, bem como nos debruçando sobre algumas das indagações levantadas por uma historiografia recente, defenderemos que havia uma série de movimentos ambivalentes e ambíguos no que tangia ao governo do domínio ultramarino da Angola portuguesa. Sucintamente, chamaremos atenção para a importância dos procedimentos e resoluções políticoadministrativas adotados naquele domínio, analisando as maneiras de arregimentação e condução de uma máquina de guerra portuguesa, destacando a importância da participação política de atores e sujeitos centro-africanos nos rumos políticos das chamadas conquistas e abordando as relações institucionais e econômicas entre Luanda e os entrepostos portugueses instalados no interior. Por excelência, as hierarquias internas e os contatos sociais e políticos luso-africanos foram gestados em um ambiente conflituoso, entrecortado por tensões sociais, atritos institucionais e embates políticos. Em ultima instância, concluiremos que ocorriam justaposições e aglutinações entre as formas de dominação e intermediação que faziam parte do funcionamento político e institucional da Angola portuguesa, contanto que duas precondições fossem atendidas: o engrandecimento da exploração economia através do tráfico transatlântico e a penetração institucional e política do continente. / Considering an eclectic and historical scope of analysis, this dissertation will argue about the execution of a mixed administrative system, based on institutional nodes interconnected in a form of network system, operated on the behalf of an overseas jurisdictional space. Our efforts will be engaged with two mainstreams: the first is our interest in the phenomena related with some inter-social contacts, the second is the analytical research of the Fontes para a história de Angola do século XVIIs documentation, organized by Beatrix Heintze. Casting some questions related to the different situations concerned with the Portuguese Expansion in the West Central Africa, as well as reflecting some inquiries posed by the recent historiography, here we stand for a settle of ambivalent and ambiguous series of movements emerged from the Portuguese Angolas overseas domain, calling up for the importance of some political and institutional forms of proceedings. They were all managed in order to resolve some issues related with the Portuguese Angola, paying attention to the recruitment and mobilizations of the Portuguese war machine, elucidating how the local political actors interacted with the conquistas and how was carried out the institutional and economical relations between Luanda and the interior entrepôts. All the internal hierarchies and luso-african contacts was settled down in a conflictive environment, crossed through social tensions, institutional frictions and political shocks. Finally, we conclude that some forms of domination and intermediation in the Portuguese Angola were sustained by a correlation between juxtapositions and agglutinations, but only if two demands were attended: the enlargement of the economical exploitation through the transatlantic slave trade and the institutional and political penetration of the African continent.

Hipólito José da Costa se tornou célebre como editor do Correio Braziliense, periódico que publicou durante seu exílio em Londres, de 1808 a 1822. A historiografia mais recente em língua portuguesa tem identificado Hipólito como herdeiro do reformismo ilustrado português, mas o discurso de seu jornal mostra que ele transitava em âmbito bem mais vasto. Esta tese demonstra que o Correio Braziliense estava inserido numa rede textual bastante ampla, de filiação anglo-americana e âmbito transoceânico, cujo principal centro de gravidade e articulação era a capital britânica. Os textos publicados pelo exilado luso-brasileiro entre os anos de 1808 e 1812, período ao qual está circunscrito este trabalho, permitem distinguir com clareza sua filiação a um corpo de ideias que não encontra referências no universo mental da sociedade portuguesa e cujo nexo pode ser localizado no chamado whiggismo, bem como em vertentes mais radicais do pensamento político britânico. / Hipólito José da Costa became renowned as editor of Correio Braziliense, a periodical which he published during his exile in London, from 1808 to 1822. The most recent historiography in Portuguese has identified Hipólito as heir to the Portuguese enlightened reformism, but his publication´s discourse shows that he was moving in much wider circles. This thesis demonstrates that Correio Braziliense was inserted in a very broad textual network, with Anglo-American affiliation and transoceanic extent, whose main center of gravity and articulation was the British capital. The texts published by the Portuguese-Brazilian exile from the years 1808 to 1812, the period which is covered by this work, allows one to clearly distinguish his affiliation with a set of ideas which has no reference to the mental world of the Portuguese society and whose nexus can be found in the so-called whiggism, as well as in more radical aspects of British political thought.

Voyageur durant toute sa vie, connaisseur de l’Inde, des États-Unis, de l’Afrique du Sud et du Sussex, défenseur de l’Empire britannique quand sa stabilité territoriale est menacée, Rudyard Kipling possède une expérience de l’espace mondial directe et physique qu’on retrouve problématisée sur les plans thématique, narratif et stylistique dans sa fiction. La notion de frontière produit à tous niveaux des relations de différentiation et d’opposition mais aussi de contact et d’échanges : le voyage se fait conquête, aventure ou vagabondage, le rapport à l’espace est politique ou poétique. L’espace impérial est nécessairement délimité et Kipling conçoit un Empire agent fédérateur d’une mosaïque de nations. Stylistiquement, la phrase de Kipling parvient de même à fédérer des langues et registres variés sans nuire à l’unité textuelle et la narration se fonde sur l’articulation entre les éléments individuels et l’ensemble. L’instance narrative crée des lignes de convergence qui relient entre eux les récits en créant des réseaux d’œuvre à œuvre, aboutissant à la construction partielle d’un monde cohérent et à une possibilité d’ouverture dans cet espace balisé. L’économie interne des œuvres les révèle en tant qu’objets composites et unifiés, faisant jouer poèmes et illustrations au sein de recueils de nouvelles, intrigue principale et micro récits dans les romans. Le texte est figuration à part entière lorsqu’il inclut une carte annotée et qu’il crée un espace typographique signifiant et moderne. Mettant en regard l’espace représentant et l’espace représenté, l’agencement du texte et celui du monde narratif qu’il peint, l’espace littéraire kiplingien fonctionne de façon dynamique. / Rudyard Kipling was a traveller all his life and a champion of the British Empire at the time when its territorial stability was put at risk; he knew India, the U.S.A., South Africa and Sussex intimately. His direct and physical experience of the globe frames the thematic, narrative and stylistic characteristics of his novels and short story collections. Through the notion of borderline, relationships of differentiation, opposition, contact and exchange are built up thematically, in the narrative and in the style: the traveller is represented as a conqueror, an adventurer or a wanderer and global space is apprehended either politically or poetically. Imperial space is necessarily delineated and Kipling conceives of an Empire federating a mosaic of nations. Likewise, Kipling’s sentences stylistically patch up diverse languages, dialects and registers without endangering their textual unity and his narration hinges on the relation between separate elements and the whole text. The narrative authority creates converging lines between stories and networks appear between books, building up a coherent fictional world which suggests the possibility of an opening in this highly demarcated space. In their internal organisation, the books are at once composite and unified, the main narrative interacting with poems and illustrations in the short story collections and with micro narratives in the novels. Text becomes truly figurative in the annotated maps and when the typographical space is modern and significant. Kipling’s literary space dynamically confronts physical territories and a linguistic representative space, the textual organisation and the narrative world it depicts.
