61	Occult Invention: The Rebirth of Rhetorical Heuresis in Early Modern British Literature from Chapman to Swift / Rebirth of Rhetorical Heuresis in Early Modern British Literature from Chapman to Swift McCann, Michael Charles, 1959- 09 1900 (has links) xiv, 234 p. : ill. / The twentieth-century project of American rhetorician Kenneth Burke, grounded in a magic-based theory of language, reveals a path to the origins of what I am going to call occult invention. The occult, which I define as a symbol set of natural terms derived from supernatural terms, employs a method of heuresis based on a metaphor-like process I call analogic extension. Traditional invention fell from use shortly after the Liberal Arts reforms of Peter Ramus, around 1550. Occult invention emerged nearly simultaneously, when Early Modern British authors began using occult symbols as tropes in what I refer to as the Occult Mode. I use six of these authors--George Chapman, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Abraham Cowley, John Dryden, and Jonathan Swift--as examples of how occult invention arises. In appropriating occult symbolism, authors in the Occult Mode began using the invention methods of the occult arts of magic, alchemy, astrology, and cabala to derive new meanings, transform language, develop characters and plots, and reorient social perspectives. As we learn in tracking Burke's project, occult invention combines the principles of Aristotle's rhetoric and metaphysics with the techniques and principles of the occult arts. Occult invention fell from use around the end of the eighteenth century, but its rhetorical influence reemerged through the work of Burke. In this study I seek to contextualize and explicate some of the literary sources and rhetorical implications of occult invention as an emergent field for further research. / Committee in charge: Dianne Dugaw， Co-Chairperson； John T.

62	Étude et discrétisation de modèles cinétiques et de modèles fluides à bas nombre de Mach Dellacherie, Stéphane 02 February 2011 (has links) (PDF) Ce mémoire résume les travaux que nous avons réalisés de 1995 à 2010. Ces travaux ont eu pour thème l'étude et la discrétisation, d'une part, de modèles cinétiques de type Fokker-Planck ou de type Boltzmann semi-classiques et, d'autre part, de modèles fluides de type Euler ou de type Navier-Stokes à bas nombre de Mach. L'équation de Fokker-Planck étudiée modélise les collisions entre ions et électrons dans un plasma chaud, et concerne ici la fusion par confinement inertiel. Les équations de Boltzmann semi-classiques étudiées sont de deux types. Le premier type modélise la réaction de fusion thermonucléaire entre un ion deuterium et un ion tritium donnant une particule alpha et un neutron, et concerne également ici la fusion par confinement inertiel. Le deuxième type - connu sous le nom d'équations de Wang-Chang & Uhlenbeck - modélise ici les transitions d'énergie quantique dans les couches électroniques d'atomes d'uranium et de fer provoquées par les collisions entre ces mêmes atomes au sein du procédé SILVA de Séparation Isotopique par Laser sur Vapeur Atomique. Nous avons étudié les propriétés de base de ces deux types d'équations de Boltzmann semi-classiques, et, dans le cas des équations de Wang-Chang & Uhlenbeck, nous avons proposé un algorithme de couplage cinétique-fluide. L'étude de cet algorithme nous a incité à étudier la notion de relaxation dans un mélange binaire de gaz et de fluides non-miscibles, et à souligner les points communs de cette approche avec la théorie cinétique standard. L'étude de modèles moyennés pour des mélanges de fluides non-miscibles nous a amené à proposer et à discrétiser un modèle sans ondes acoustiques modélisant la déformation d'une interface entre deux fluides non-miscibles provoquée par de forts gradients thermiques à bas nombre de Mach. Puis, afin d'améliorer la précision des calculs tout en en maîtrisant le coût, nous avons également étudié la possibilité de résoudre sur un maillage dynamique de type AMR un modèle simplifié de déformation d'interface. Ces études à bas nombre de Mach nous ont également incités à analyser sur maillage cartésien le mauvais comportement à bas nombre de Mach des schémas de type Godunov appliqués au système d'Euler compressible. Enfin, nous avons justifié l'algorithme LBM dans le cas de l'équation de la chaleur. opérateur de Fokker-Planck-Landau équation de Boltzmann théorème H entropie schéma entropique relaxation développement de Chapman-Enskog couplage cinétique-fluide écoulement à bas nombre de Mach algorithme AMR schéma de Godunov à bas nombre de Mach algorithme LBM
63	The King, the Prince, and Shakespeare: Competing for Control of the Stuart Court Stage Gabriel R Lonsberry (9039344) 29 June 2020 (has links) <div>When, each holiday season, William Shakespeare’s newest plays were presented for King James I of England and his court, they shared the stage with propagandistic performances and ceremonies intended to glorify the monarch and legitimate his political ideals. Between 1608 and 1613, however, the King’s son, Prince Henry Frederick, sought to use the court stage to advance his own, oppositional ideology. By examining the entertainments through which James and Henry openly competed to control this crucial mythmaking mechanism, the present investigation recreates the increasingly unstable conditions surrounding and transforming each of Shakespeare’s last plays as they were first performed at court. I demonstrate that, once read in their original courtly contexts, these plays speak directly to each stage of that escalating rivalry and interrogate the power of ceremonial display, the relationship between fiction and statecraft, and the destabilization of monarchically imposed meaning, just as they would have then.<br></div> Literature History Drama British and Irish Literature Other European Literature British History shakespeare king james henry frederick coriolanus pericles cymbeline the tempest the winter's tale henry viii two noble kinsmen ben jonson masque inigo jones oberon masque of queens tethys' festival barriers king's men love restored beaumont john fletcher Chivalry Protestantism george chapman thomas campion memorable masque masque of truth the lord's masque
64	Changing fictions of masculinity : adaptations of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, 1939-2009 Fanning, Sarah Elizabeth January 2012 (has links) The discursive and critical positions of the ‘classic’ nineteenth-century novel, particularly the woman’s novel, in the field of adaptation studies have been dominated by long-standing concerns about textual fidelity and the generic processes of the text-screen transfer. The sociocultural patterns of adaptation criticism have also been largely ensconced in representations of literary women on screen. Taking a decisive twist from tradition, this thesis traces the evolution of representations of masculinity in the malleable characters of Rochester and Heathcliff in film and television adaptations of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights between 1939 and 2009. Concepts of masculinity have been a neglected area of enquiry in studies of the ‘classic’ novel on screen. Adaptations of the Brontës’ novels, as well as the adapted novels of other ‘classic’ women authors such as Jane Austen, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell, increasingly foreground male character in traditionally female-oriented narratives or narratives whose primary protagonist is female. This thesis brings together industrial histories, textual frames and sociocultural influences that form the wider contexts of the adaptations to demonstrate how male characterisation and different representations of masculinity are reformulated and foregrounded through three different adaptive histories of the narratives of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. Through the contours of the film and television industries, the application of text and context analysis, and wider sociocultural considerations of each period an understanding of how Rochester and Heathcliff have been transmuted and centralised within the adaptive history of the Brontë novel. 823
