C.) e Trimalchio, uma primeira versão da obra The Great Gatsby, de F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940). A aproximação dos textos é feita pelo narrador de Trimalchio que compara Gatsby a Trimalquião, e acentua-se no título dado à versão publicada em 2000, que declara o caráter intertextual da narrativa, que aqui será pensado com Julia Kristeva (1974). Partimos dessa relação para a observação de um tema comum às duas obras: o da carnavalização, desenvolvido por Bakhtin (1981;1986;1993). A partir da investigação de aspectos típicos do carnaval encontramos similaridades na composição de personagens e cenários e estudamos tal composição por meio de figuras que vemos repetidas na duas obras. Para o estudo dessas figuras nos valemos da teoria semiótica da figuratividade, seguindo, principalmente, os preceitos de Bertrand (2003), apoiando-nos também nas análises de Fiorin (2014). A inovadora obra de Petrônio desafia os estudiosos na classificação de seu gênero, todavia é possível observar importantes características da sátira menipeia, o que ratifica o caráter carnavalizado da narrativa. O romance de Fitzgerald, inegavelmente autônomo, ganha um novo realce ao dialogar com o texto latino. / Abstract: This research develops around the comparative analysis of the piece "Cena Trimalchionis" - or "Trimalchio's Feast", episode inserted in Petronius' (?-65d.C.) Satyricon; and Trimalchio, a first version of the novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940). The parallel between the texts is made by the narrator of Trimalchio who compares Gatsby to Trimalchio, and is emphasized in the title given to the version published in 2000, which declares the intertextual character of the narrative, which will be thought here with Julia Kristeva (1974). We start from this relation for the observation of a theme common to both works: the one of carnivalization on literature, developed by Bakhtin (1981, 1986, 1993). From the investigation of typical aspects of carnival we find similarities in the composition of characters and scenarios and study this composition through figures that we see repeated in both works. For the study of these figures we use the semiotic theory of figurativity, following mainly the precepts of Bertrand (2003), also supporting this research in the analyzes of Fiorin (2014). The innovative work of Petronius challenges the scholars in the classification of its genre, however it is possible to observe important characteristics of the menippean satire, which confirms the carnavalized disposition of the narrative. Fitzgerald's novel, undoubtedly autonomous, gains a new accent when dialoguing with the Latin text. / Doutor

This dissertation of limited scope, part of a Course-work Master’s in Ancient Languages and Cultures, consists of five chapters which deal with issues relating to the perception and literary treatment of non-human animals in African and Classical traditional stories involving animal characters. The focus of the research was placed upon arguing that: human characteristics were attributed to animal creatures in the myths/traditional stories from both cultures; both cultures made attempts to explain how certain animals became domesticated and how others remained wild; mythical thinking is not a preserve of one culture, it is rather part of human nature; mythical monsters are present in both cultures and that they have always to be destroyed by man, though not easily; myths served several functions for both cultures, ranging from educational entertainment to socializing purposes, to making attempts to explain ancient man’s environment and its happenings. The study was undertaken in the hope of enabling certain recommendations to be formulated, on the basis of the findings, to effect a better and more informed strategy for teaching Classical Mythology and Classics, in general, in the Mawian/African context. / Classics & World Languages / M.

Il s’agit de déterminer si différents constats posés initialement relatifs à l’évolution de la société et du monde scolaire sont les épiphénomènes d’une tendance générale ou s’ils sont simplement issus d’une synchronie fortuite. De l’analyse de ces constats émergent des problématiques qui se cristallisent autour de concepts. D’une part, on identifie la perception de la citoyenneté, de l’autre, le développement d’un projet d’autonomie intellectuelle, assorti d’une conscientisation des apprentissages. Nous traitons d’abord les questions relatives à la citoyenneté dans le cursus scolaire avant d’approfondir les questions concernant la didactique, adoptant l’hypothèse que les liens entre ces constats participent d’une même dynamique mais s’actualisent à des degrés divers. Ainsi, la recherche débute par les différentes situations pédagogiques dans lesquelles les apprenants sont confrontés à la citoyenneté durant leur cursus officiel dans certains pays ou communautés représentatives. Le second chapitre présente l’analyse profonde et minutieuse des dynamiques sociétales sous-jacentes aux écueils mentionnés pour se focaliser ensuite sur le contexte scolaire. Une définition du sens des notions utilisées est nécessaire au troisième chapitre avant d’envisager toute réponse aux questions liminaires en pédagogie puis en didactique des langues anciennes, aux chapitres quatre et cinq. Le travail se concrétise par un corpus de textes accompagnés de pistes d’exploitation avant de conclure et d’envisager les perspectives.<p><p>&9679; Clef :comment les langues anciennes peuvent-elles aider les élèves à s’approprier les concepts de l’éthique citoyenne ?L’autonomie intellectuelle, condition sine qua non de l’éthique citoyenne, ne provient pas ipso facto d’une lecture assidue des auteurs classiques mais elle peut constituer le projet qui sous-tend toute démarche de l’enseignant.

La tesi si occupa di verificare l’influenza che i classici greci e latini hanno esercitato su i padri fondatori americani e più in particolare su Thomas Jefferson. La prima sezione tratteggia il contesto universitario e lo studio delle lingue classiche tra seicento e settecento, comprendendo non solo le università inglesi (Oxford e Cambridge) e scozzesi, ma anche i nuovi college nati nelle colonie americane. Tale analisi dei modelli e delle pratiche educative ha permesso, in effetti, di comprendere meglio l’influenza dei classici sui rivoluzionari americani. Nello specifico viene scandagliata a fondo l’educazione ricevuta da Jefferson. Tra i numerosi spunti di studio aperti da codesto argomento, il lavoro si concentra sulle modalità con cui i classici gli furono insegnati, sul suo Commonplace Book (una raccolta di brani tratti in parte da autori antichi letti in giovinezza) e su documentazione epistolare. Quest’ultima è oggetto particolare di studio, allo scopo di scoprire quali opere antiche Jefferson, in età adulta e durante la vecchiaia, lesse e apprezzò. Essendo un collezionista di libri, comprò moltissimi testi classici come dimostrano alcuni suoi manoscritti. Nonostante manchino dati precisi a riguardo, risulta inoltre che Jefferson, benché facesse largo uso di traduzioni, preferiva leggere in originale e che probabilmente abbia letto la maggior parte di questi libri durante il ritiro dalla vita politica. La seconda parte della tesi si concentra, invece, a indagare quanto la sua educazione classica abbia contributo alla formazione della sua personalità e delle sue idee, nonché alla forma stessa del suo pensiero in merito ad alcune tematiche. Lo studio è di conseguenza dedicato all’esperienza umana di Jefferson, in particolare alla sua riflessione sulla morte e sull’eternità, temi fortemente legati alla sua ricezione di idee epicuree e stoiche. Epicureismo e Stoicismo rappresentano, in definitiva, i due sistemi filosofici antichi che hanno maggiormente influenzato la sua personalità e il suo pensiero. / The aim of the present work is to evaluate the impact of the ancient classics on the American Founding Fathers, with a particular focus on Thomas Jefferson. The first section gives a wide portrait of the academic context in which the Founders were educated, comprising not only of Oxford, Cambridge, and the Scottish universities, but also the colonial colleges. The evaluation of the educational practices in use at the time makes it possible to understand better the classical impact on revolutionary Americans. In particular, this analysis studies in depth Jefferson's education. Of the many possible perspectives and approaches to this topic, the present work focuses on the way ancient classics were taught to him, his Commonplace Book, which reports part of the ancient classics he read during his youth, and his correspondence. The latter has been studied especially to understand which other ancient writers he read, valued, and esteemed in his adulthood and old age. As book collector, Jefferson bought an incredible number of ancient classics, as attested by a few manuscripts of his book lists. Despite the dearth of sure evidence, it is very likely that he read the ancient works largely during his retirement. He loved reading them in the original, though he made great use of translations. The second part of this work is dedicated to investigating how Jefferson's classical education contributed to the building of his personality and ideas, as well as how he elaborated specific classical themes in his own life. The study is thus focused on Jefferson's personal human experience, specifically on his reflection on human mortality and the afterlife. These themes, indeed, are strictly linked to his reception of Epicurean and Stoic tenets, the two ancient philosophical systems which had the greatest and most profound impact on Jefferson's personality and thought.
