Auguste Perret made his mark in history as the first architect to make use of ferroconcrete as an expressive material. The Rue Franklin apartments, the Garage Ponthieu, and the Church in Le Raincy are all milestones in the development of world architecture. In my dissertation, I have outlined the situation in the French architectural criticism in the first decades of the 20th century in order to provide background to Perret's career, which is chronologically treated in another part of the dissertation and completed with an overview of Perret's important buildings. I also wanted to demonstrate the interconnection of his projects with his theoretical thinking. I have referred to the sources of Perret's doctrine and presented the themes that this architect consistently developed throughout his creative life. In my research I took advantage of a rich collection of preserved archives of Perret's office, and both historical and contemporary literature. In another part of the dissertation, I attempted to find answers to the questions of Perret's reception in the Czech context and his contacts with Czech architects. I was also interested in Perret's relation to Czech architecture and in the last section I examined whether we can find works in Czech architecture that directly reflect Perret's influence. We...

This dissertation examines the confluence of ideas about classicism, commerce, and authorship in Britain in the final decades of the eighteenth century, when the commercial potential of classical forms and, conversely, the artistic potential of ‘mechanical’ forms of production both seemed greater, and yet more vulnerable, than they had ever been. While classical antiquity was a crucial source of artistic authority in this period, the emergence of a model of individual, inwardly generated, original authorship provided a different opportunity for commercial classicists to distinguish themselves in a crowded and competitive marketplace. In successive chapters of the dissertation, I discuss four makers whose works were produced in the context of competing models of authorship and authority: the architect, Robert Adam; the potter and manufacturer, Josiah Wedgwood; the painter and printmaker, Angelica Kauffman; and the sculptor and designer, John Flaxman. Each of these authors straddled the worlds of the mechanical and liberal arts, using a self-consciously classical artistic vocabulary in conjunction with highly commercial production and marketing strategies. They increasingly shaped and presented their works and style as their own proprietary creations, capitalising on emerging concepts of original genius and individual authorship: the very concepts that seem to be at odds both with academic classicism and with reproductive practices. Adam, Wedgwood, Kauffman, and Flaxman demonstrate how classicism, the idea of genius, and commercial, industrial modernity were mutually constitutive, resulting in the creation of artistic styles that are still associated with their authors today.

The novel Agnes von Lilien by Caroline von Wolzogen, although celebrated during the period of Weimar Classicism, was not generally well known to English-speaking readers and researchers until recently. This project aims to address this situation by creating an easily accessible English translation of the novel complete with critical annotations for the benefit of researchers and lay readers alike. The annotated translation presented in this work is an excerpt of the full translation of the work drawn in particular from the first third of the novel. This novel, first published in 1798, reflects many ideals of the Enlightenment, as well as opinions on women's roles and women's education. In the introduction, I trace the way that the novel seeks to gently persuade the nobility and educated middle class to change the world around them. This is done through the ever-present contrasts filling its pages alongside the novel's emphasis on ideal possibilities. Rather than serving as a revolutionary critique, I assert that the story conveys a quiet call for a level of social reform that still assures the nobility their power while nevertheless challenging them to use that power for the betterment of society. Women are urged to extend their reach to the outer boundaries of womanhood rather than being content with the confinement imposed by traditional society. I conclude that the strength of Wolzogen's text and the trait that draws readers back even centuries later is the fact that, under the cloak of intrigue, adventure, and romance expected from the novel form, the ideals of the Enlightenment shine clearly. In spite of social and political changes over the past two centuries, the call to virtue, industry, reason, and self-improvement, regardless of gender or social class, still maintains its relevance and power for readers in the modern era.

Ce mémoire a pour but d’explorer la question sur l’écart entre les sexes dans l’expression de la passion dans la tragédie de Jean Racine. Qu’est-ce que les différences éventuelles entre les personnages féminins et masculins quant à l’expression de la passion nous disent sur le théâtre de Racine ? Les divergences entre les réactions féminines et masculines seront analysées et comparées pour comprendre le genre dans le théâtre de Racine.Quatre différentes pièces du répertoire de l’auteur seront analysées pour déterminer si le genre du personnage influence l’expression de la passion. L’analyse du comportement des protagonistes permettra également de comprendre comment chaque sexe exprimeet traite la passion. Les pièces sur lesquelles se concentre ce projet sont Andromaque, Bérénice, Phèdre et Athalie. L’étude révèlera les différences entres les personnages féminins et masculins quant à l’expression de la passion et révéleront également si les femmes maîtrisent moins leurs émotions que les hommes. Puis, nous verrons ce que ces différences disent sur l’esthétique et les conventions de la tragédie de Racine. Les résultats seront confrontés à quelques critiques contemporaines. / The purpose of this thesis is to explore the issue of gender difference in the expression of passion in the tragedy of Jean Racine. What do the possible differences between female and male characters in the expression of passion tell us about Racine’s theatre? The distinctions between female and male reactions will be analysed and compared to understand the genre in Racine’s theatre. Four different pieces from the author’s repertoire will be analysed to determine if the character’s gender influences the expression of passion. Analysis of the behaviour of the protagonists will also help us understand how each sex expresses and treats passion. The pieces on which this project focuses are Andromachus, Berenice, Phaedra, and Athalie. The study will reveal the differences between female and male characters in the expression of passion and reveal whether women have less control over their emotions than men. Then we will see what these differences say about the aesthetics and conventions of Racine’s tragedy. The results will be confronted with some contemporary criticism.

Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) eut un impact considérable à un moment charnière de l’histoire et de l’art européens. Faisant preuve d’une énorme résilience, elle trouva un moyen efficace d’affirmer son agentivité et fut une source d’inspiration puissante pour des générations de femmes et d’artistes dans leur propre quête d’expression et de réalisation de soi. Cette thèse démontre qu’Emma tira sa puissance particulière de sa capacité à négocier des identités différentes et parfois même contradictoires – objet et sujet ; modèle et portraiturée ; artiste, muse et œuvre d’art ; épouse, maîtresse et prostituée ; roturière et aristocrate ; mondaine et ambassadrice : et interprète d’une myriade de caractères historiques, bibliques, littéraires et mythologiques, tant masculins que féminins. Épouse de l’ambassadeur anglais à Naples, favorite de la reine de Naples et amante de l’amiral Horatio Nelson, elle fut un agent sur la scène politique pendant l’époque révolutionnaire et napoléonienne. Dans son ascension sociale vertigineuse qui la mena de la plus abjecte misère aux plus hauts échelons de l’aristocratie anglaise, elle sut s’adapter, s’ajuster et se réinventer. Elle reçut et divertit d’innombrables écrivains, artistes, scientifiques, nobles, diplomates et membres de la royauté. Elle participa au développement et à la dissémination du néoclassicisme au moment même de son efflorescence. Elle créa ses Attitudes, une performance répondant au goût de son époque pour le classicisme, qui fut admirée et imitée à travers l’Europe et qui inspira des générations d’interprètes féminines. Elle apprit à danser la tarentelle et l’introduisit dans les salons aristocratiques. Elle influença un réseau de femmes s’étendant de Paris à Saint-Pétersbourg et incluant Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, Germaine de Staël et Juliette Récamier. Modèle hors pair, elle inspira plusieurs artistes pour la production d’œuvres qu’ils reconnurent comme parmi leurs meilleures. Elle fut représentée par les plus grands artistes de son temps, dont Angelica Kauffman, Benjamin West, Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, George Romney, James Gillray, Joseph Nollekens, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence et Thomas Rowlandson. Elle bouscula, de façon répétée, les limites et mœurs sociales. Néanmoins, Emma ne tentait pas de présenter une identité cohérente, unifiée, polie. Au contraire, elle était un kaléidoscope de multiples « sois » qu’elle gardait actifs et en dialogue les uns avec les autres, réarrangeant continuellement ses facettes afin de pouvoir simultanément s’exprimer pleinement et présenter aux autres ce qu’ils voulaient voir. / Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) had a marked impact at a pivotal moment in European history and art. This dissertation shows that Emma drew her particular potency from her ability to negotiate these different and at times contradictory identities—object and subject; model and sitter; artist, muse, and work of art; wife, mistress, and prostitute; commoner and aristocrat; socialite and ambassadress; and performer of myriad historical, biblical, literary, and mythological male and female characters. Emma displayed astonishing resilience, found an effective way to assert her agency, and was a powerful inspiration for generations of artists and of women in their own search for expression and self-actualization. The wife of England’s ambassador to Naples, the favourite of the queen of Naples, and the lover of Admiral Horatio Nelson, she was an agent on the political stage during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era. She adapted, adjusted, and reinvented herself in her dizzying rise from rags to riches. She entertained and beguiled countless writers, artists, scientists, aristocrats, politicians, and royalty. She participated in the dissemination of Neoclassicism in Europe at the very moment of its efflorescence. She created her Attitudes, a performance that tapped into her epoch’s taste for classicism, was admired and imitated throughout Europe, and inspired generations of female performers. She learnt to dance the tarantella and introduced it into aristocratic drawing rooms. She influenced an early nineteenth-century network of women that spanned Paris to St Petersburg and included Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, Germaine de Staël, and Juliette Récamier. An unmatched model and sitter, she inspired artists to produce what they acknowledged to be some of their best work. She appeared in works produced by the major artists of her time, among whom Angelica Kauffman, Benjamin West, Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, George Romney, James Gillray, Joseph Nollekens, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence, and Thomas Rowlandson. And she repeatedly pushed against the limits of social mores. Nevertheless, Emma did not attempt to present a coherent, unified, polished identity. Instead, she was a kaleidoscope of different selves that she kept active and in dialogue with each other, constantly reconfiguring the pieces so that she could simultaneously express herself fully and present to others what they wanted to see.

Le présent travail de thèse portant sur la vie et l’œuvre de Carl Ludwig Fernow a pour principal objectif de présenter sous un jour nouveau la genèse de ses idées sur la théorie de l’art, aussi à l’égard des aspects socioculturels et anthropologiques de son temps. Pour ce qui est des principaux axes de recherche, on tentera, dans un premier temps, de reconstruire les sources philosophiques ayant nourri sa pensée esthétique et surtout les écrits de Kant, de Schiller et de Winckelmann, tout en opérant une sélection des textes les plus importants. Puis, nous nous demanderons, dans un deuxième temps, dans quelle mesure les monographies d’artistes de Fernow comportent des élans sociocritiques, se dirigeant non seulement contre la politique de formation des académies, mais également contre l’hétéronomie de la production artistique de son temps. Cet aspect sera envisagé sous la forme d’une comparaison de la monographie d’Arioste à celles d’Antonio Canova et d’Asmus Jakob Carstens. La troisième partie sera consacrée à une présentation synthétique des idées esthétiques de Fernow, afin d’évaluer, de façon cohérente et sous un nouveau jour, de l’originalité de sa conception de l’art autonome. / AThe main target of the present study is to reconstruct the genesis of the esthetical ideas of the German art theoretician and writer Carl Ludwig Fernow (1763-1808), whose work and intellectual importance has been recently rediscovered and revalued by several researches. Carl Ludwig Fernow’s name is particularly related to the art discussion of the so called “Weimarian art friends”, the circle of amateurs of beauty who assembled very famous members and personalities such as Goethe, Schiller and Meyer. However, Fernow has always acted in the shadow of these main actors, trying to make him known as an author. Thus, quite a number of his publications and articles in German appeared in German well known revues such as “The Propylees”, “The new Mercury” or “The journal of fashion and luxury” have never been touched a large public, but still would merit a closer look, based on a reexamination of the role he played for the formation of the movement of art’s autonomy, in order to show his art theory, resuming his main ideas and concepts concerning the character, the ideal of beauty and the enthusiasm of the artiste, which he personally considered as the principal components of genuine art expression representing the key to real artistic creation.
