The images produced by the literature helped create the representation of the city that the contemporary historiography has perpetuated: an enormous, beautiful, rich, turbulent and polemic city. The aim of this doctorate thesis is to discuss the several representations about Alexandria reinforced and divulged by ancient authors between the first century BC and third century AD. We believe that theses representations associated to Alexandrias greatness and prosperity that made it similar to the capital of the Empire illustrate a perception of the city as a mirror to Rome and a threat to its hegemony. All the emphasis on Alexandrias qualities and achievements on the one hand, and on its problems and rebellious tendency on the other, were not innocent, and indicate a mentality that understood the city as a place that demanded continuous attention by the representatives of Roman power. The objective of this research is to analyze the reasons that led to this duality in the narratives by means of listing the themes and contexts mostly dealt with by the classical tradition.

This thesis deals with the selected topics and themes in the work of John William Waterhouse and its aim is to define the influence of classical tradition in his work, which has not been independently scrutinised. The second and the third chapter discuss the history of research of the work of J. W. Waterhouse, the specific problems associated with research, the aim of the thesis and artist's curriculum vitae. The core of the thesis is in the fourth chapter and consists of selected topics and themes from the work of J. W. Waterhouse: scenes from everyday life, dolce far niente, historical painting, water myths and ancient love myths. Their selection is based on the fashion preferences of displaying the antique motives in the 19th and early 20th century. In particular subchapters of fourth chapter the artist's paintings are compared with the works of his contemporaries and successors in Victorian England and partly in continental Europe. Comparison shows the differences in processing of subject matter, in used techniques, in linkups to the trends in art and in other elements. The end of each subchapter contains the summary of the results obtained from the comparison with the emphasis on the J. W. Waterhouse's contribution to the topic. The final chapters summarize the overall picture of the work of...

This dissertation seeks to abolish the inherited cliché that the Modernist writers and artists rejected earlier art and literature, particularly that of the classical tradition. In fact, both literature and art of the early 20th century made widespread use of the inherited Greco-Roman tradition in a myriad of ways. Moreover, beginning after the First World War and maturing in the 1920s, a demonstrative Neoclassical “movement” appeared across different types of art and different nations. A neoclassical or classicizing style or form is inherently malleable, an empty signifier that can, through an artist or writer’s emphasis, point towards any number of meanings. This allowed a classical style to become widespread along with its seeming resiliency as the ordered, traditional bedrock of the West. In the 1930s, however, the fascist parties of Germany, France, and Italy began to appropriate the neoclassical as a state- or party-style because of the ease with which politics could be incorporated into a relatively vacant form. Their systematic use of the classical tradition in large part “tainted” classical subjects and styles, which allowed for the post-World War II institutionalization of the avant garde. I argue that texts which used the classical tradition could do so in four distinct manners—four types of classicism. Symbolic Classicism controls its classical material by using it only at the level of hollow icon which pregnantly gestures towards antiquity. Traditional Classicism, like an adaptation of a classical narrative particularly in drama, becomes completely dependent on its borrowings. Formal Classicism borrows an inherited, vacant form which can then be injected with Modernity. Finally, Synthetic Classicism necessitates a careful balancing of the classical material, not reducing it to symbolic meaning, but producing a novel narrative or mirroring-effect, that controls its various elements designed into a modern theme or objective. / text

The thesis examines the classical motifs in the works of Titian. The author focuses on a closed set of works inspired by classical motifs (i.e. motifs of classical mythology), which were created for the Spanish king Philippe II. The thesis deals with the question of possible literary or material sources which could have been at the painter's disposal or could have served as his inspiration. The set of works is defined by themes chosen from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The question is whether Titian based his compositions on their classical version or on a Renaissance adapted or commented translation, or whether he even inspired himself by other classical authors.

This historical research articulates the idea of a "legacy" of Greece with the civilizing process in the occidental world, and the reference input of the ancient historians for the construction of "historical science" in the nineteenth century. In this perspective, we analyze the importance of antiquity and the classical tradition in nineteenth-century Brazil, mainly in the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute (IHGB), the legitimating institution of the writing of history, and in the Imperial College Pedro II (ICPII), high school parameter of secondary education in the country. To investigate this theme we selected books of Ancient History, written in Brazil, between the 1860s and 1890, which are filed in IHGB in particular the Comp?ndio de Hist?ria Universal, Justiniano Jos? da Rocha. / Esta disserta??o objetiva compreender como se escrevia a hist?ria da Antiguidade no Brasil oitocentista. Esta pesquisa historiogr?fica articula a ideia de um ?legado? da Gr?cia com o processo civilizador no mundo ocidental, al?m do aporte referencial dos historiadores antigos para a constru??o da ?ci?ncia hist?rica? no s?culo XIX. Nessa perspectiva, analiso a import?ncia da Antiguidade e da tradi??o cl?ssica no Brasil oitocentista, principalmente, no Instituto Hist?rico e Geogr?fico Brasileiro (IHGB), a institui??o legitimadora da escrita da hist?ria, e, no Imperial Col?gio de Pedro II (ICPII), o col?gio par?metro da instru??o secund?ria no pa?s.

[pt] Este trabalho se insere no contexto dos Estudos da Tradução contemporâneos, em consonância com as teorias pós-estruturalistas no campo dos Estudos Sociais. Adotando uma postura crítica que visa reaproximar teoria e prática, academia e mercado profissional, este estudo investiga a prática da tradução para legendas, entendida no âmbito da tradução audiovisual, a partir de uma perspectiva sistêmica e funcional. A base teórica e metodológica adotada tem como ponto de partida a Teoria dos Polissistemas e os fundamentos teóricos dos Estudos Descritivos de Tradução, os quais são aqui ampliados e adaptados de modo a incorporar o campo da tradução audiovisual. A tradução para legendas é então investigada a partir de um contexto em maior escala - no qual incluem-se as instituições, os profissionais e os procedimentos envolvidos na legendagem de materiais audiovisuais - sendo enfocadas unidades progressivamente menores: meios de veiculação, parâmetros técnicos, normas sintáticas e estilísticas. Finalmente, examinando o processo tradutório no campo da legendagem, o estudo culmina em reflexões sobre a dimensão singular do trabalho do tradutor - uma lacuna nos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução e pouco explorada nas teorias tradutórias de modo geral - e em considerações sobre a possibilidade de aliar ao paradigma descritivo pesquisas sobre a subjetividade inerente à prática tradutória. / [en] The present work was developed in the context of contemporary Translation Studies, in accordance with Post-Structuralist theories in the field of Social Studies. Adopting a critical view that attempts to reunite theory and practice, academy and industry, this study investigates the practice of subtitle translation - seen within the scope of audiovisual translation - based on a systemic and functional perspective. The theoretical and methodological bases are Polysystem Theory and the fundaments of Descriptive Translation Studies, which are here increased and adapted to comprehend the field of audiovisual translation. Subtitling is then studied from a large-scale context - including the institutions, professionals and proceedings involved in the subtitling of audiovisual materials - and focusing on progressively smaller units: media, technical parameters, syntactic and stylistic norms. Finally, by examining the process of translation in the area of subtitling, this study leads to reflections on the singular dimension of the translator s task - a gap in Descriptive Translation Studies and still little explored in translation theories in general - and to considerations on the possibility of combining the descriptive paradigm with research about the subjectivity intrinsic to translation.

Cette thèse de doctorat aspire à percevoir jusqu’à quel point la dynamique agonale du XVIe siècle déclenchée par la Réforme protestante provoqua des différences irréconciliables parmi les humanistes français. L’analyse prend comme point de départ la querelle sotériologique entre Érasme et Luther de 1524, considérée comme l’exemple le plus paradigmatique de l’impossibilité de trouver une compatibilité bien entendue entre les diverses manifestations de l’enthousiasme philologique, stylistique, éthique, religieux et épistémologique des humanistes. Ses oppositions fondamentales en ce qui concerne la liberté du chrétien démontrèrent que les humanistes étaient contraints d’envisager l’élan de réforme avec prudence afin d’éviter de mettre en danger leurs propres fondements épistémologiques. Par ailleurs, l’affrontement entre ces deux hommes tellement représentatifs de la Renaissance tardive peut bien inaugurer l’étude du cas français à cause de l’influence d’Érasme sur les humanistes vassaux du Roi Très-Chrétien, mais aussi à cause de l’échec de la collatio érasmienne. Le centre de gravité historique est l’événement le plus révoltant de la France du XVIe siècle, i.e., le massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy. Le choc provoqué par la tuerie fut si définitif qu’on peut, faisant attention aux participations directes des humanistes dans la polémique confessionnelle avant et après août 1572, reconstruire le socle commun de discours dont beaucoup d’eux partageaient. Nonobstant, ces dénominateurs communs encouragèrent paradoxalement des dynamiques agonales autant qu’ils permirent la survivance d’une courante irénique marquée par la tradition sceptique qui finira par être une des marques d’identification historiographique du discours humaniste. / This Ph.D. dissertation tries to measure how the violent dynamic of the 16th century, encouraged by the Reformation provoked dissention in between French Humanists. The analysis takes the debate between Erasmus and Luther of 1524 as a point of departure, considered as the paradigmatic example of the impossibility of finding some compatibility between the different versions of the philological, stylistic, ethic, religious and epistemological enthusiasm of the Humanists. Their fundamental oppositions concerning the free will showed that the Humanists were forced to take the will of reformation with caution to avoid the harm of their own epistemological fundaments. On the other hand, the clash between these men had a very large impact in France because Erasmus was one of the main influences of the French Humanism but also because of the failure of his collatio. The center of gravity of the research is the Saint-Bartholomew Night’s Massacre because it left an impression over the humanists’ consciences that the analysis of the discourses before and after the killing may allow to recover the common basis of their discourses. This common basis encouraged violent dynamics but let paradoxically survive an irenic trend marked by the skeptic tradition, which would be one of the most characteristic signs of the historiographical readings of the humanist discourse.
