Renaissance Texts, Medieval Subjectivities: Vernacular Genealogies of English Petrarchism from Wyatt to Wroth

Sokolov, Danila 06 November 2014 (has links)
This dissertation investigates the symbolic presence of medieval forms of textual selfhood in early modern English Petrarchan poetry. Undertaking a systematic re-reading of a significant body of English Petrarchism through the prism of late medieval English poetry, it argues that medieval poetic texts inscribe in the vernacular literary imaginary (i.e. a repository of discursive forms and identities available to early modern writers through antecedent and contemporaneous literary utterances) a network of recognizable and iterable discursive structures and associated subject positions; and that various linguistic and ideological traces of these medieval discourses and selves can be discovered in early modern English Petrarchism. Each of the four chapters traces medieval genealogies of a distinct scenario of subjectivity deployed by English Renaissance Petrarchism. The first chapter considers the significance of William Langland???s poetics of meed (reward) for the anti-laureate and anti-courtly identities assumed by Thomas Wyatt in his Petrarchan poems and by Edmund Spenser in the Amoretti. The second chapter examines the persistence of vernacular melancholy (encapsulated in Geoffrey Chaucer???s Book of the Duchess) in the verse of Henry Howard, earl of Surrey and in Philip Sidney???s Astrophil and Stella. The poetics of melancholy engenders a fragmented subjectivity that manifests itself through a series of quasi-theatrical performances of identity, as well as an ambivalent form of poetic discourse in which the production of Petrarchism is carried out alongside its radical critique. The focus of chapter three is the master trope of royal incarceration and its function as a mechanism of subject formation in the poetry of James I Stewart, Charles of Orleans, Mary Stewart, and Lady Mary Wroth. As the dissertation argues, the figure of an imprisoned sovereign is a crucial ideologeme of the pre-modern English political and literary imaginary, underwriting the poetics and politics of royal identity from Sir John Fortescue to James VI/I. Lastly, the fourth chapter investigates medieval genealogies of the subject afflicted with a malady of desire in Shakespeare???s sonnets, by tracing its inchoate vernacular precedents back to the poems of Thomas Hoccleve (La Male Regle) and Robert Henryson (The Testament of Cresseid).

The Romance of the Rose in fourteenth-century England

Knox, Philip January 2015 (has links)
This thesis traces the afterlife of the Romance of the Rose in fourteenth-century England. Whether it was closely imitated or only faintly recalled, I argue that the Rose exercised its influence on fourteenth-century English literature in two principal ways. Firstly, in the development of a self-reflexive focus on how meaning is produced and transmitted. Secondly, in a concern with how far the author's intentions can be recovered from a work, and to what extent the author must claim some responsibility for the meaning of a text after its release into the world of readers. In the Rose, many of these issues are presented through the lens of a disordered erotic desire, and questions of licit and illicit textual and sexual pleasures loom large in the later responses. My investigation focuses on four English writers: William Langland, John Gower, the Gawain-Poet, and Geoffrey Chaucer. In my final chapter I suggest that the Rose ceased to be a generative force in English literature in the fifteenth century, and I try to offer some explanations as to why. In examining the influence of the Rose in England I am not trying to suggest a linear transmission of cultural dominance, but rather a complex and plural process of interaction that expands to include texts that both antedate and post-date the Rose - especially Neoplatonic allegories and Ovid, on the one hand, and, on the other, Deguileville and Machaut. The individual English writers I look at are not seen as having a single and stable attitude towards the Rose; instead, I argue, the Rose emerges as a way of thinking about the interaction between texts, how meaning is produced, and how authorial ownership is claimed or refused. Using not only literary evidence but also detailed archival research into the manuscript circulation of the Rose, I question the usefulness of 'English' and 'French' as critical categories for the study of late-medieval literature, and attempt to show that, for a certain kind of literary activity, the Rose occupied a central position in England: not a stable foundation of cultural authority, but a realm of self-questioning subversion and instability.

The naive moral as a possible mental attitude behind the outlaw-motif in English medieval narratives and its influence upon the structure of Thomas Lodge's "Rosalynde" and Shakespeare's "As you like it"

Ruthrof, Horst January 1967 (has links)
The idea for this thesis originated in a seminar concerned with short forms of epic literature. It is meant to throw some light on the development of rudimentary narrative technique, especially on the influence a particular motif can exert on a writer's mind and the final form of his work.

Pobreza e caridade leiga - as Santas Casas de Misericórdia na América portuguesa / Poverty and charities lay: the holy house of mercy in portuguese america

Renato Júnio Franco 21 September 2011 (has links)
O presente trabalho discute a formação dos aparatos institucionais à pobreza na América portuguesa, especialmente no Rio de Janeiro e Vila Rica, entre 1700 e 1822. Eleitas como os dois pilares de continuidade do império português durante a época moderna, as Câmaras e as irmandades da Misericórdia eram também as duas principais bases de sustentação sobre as quais se ergueu o sistema de caridade voltado de forma mais ampla para a população. No entanto, a América portuguesa presenciou uma parca e fragmentária rede de Misericórdias durante o período colonial. Partido de discursos que pregavam o amor ao próximo, essas instituições selecionaram seu público beneficiário, hierarquizando e, por vezes, interditando serviços a determinados grupos, marcadamente os mestiços e os escravos. Diante de uma rede assistencial absolutamente frágil e da considerável redução do escopo de atendíveis pelas Misericórdias, os pobres do Brasil se valeram antes das redes de auxílio informal, do que dos estabelecimentos que se apropriavam das noções cristãs de caridade. / This thesis discusses the formation of the institutional apparatuses dealing with poverty in Portuguese America, especially in Rio de Janeiro and Vila Rica, between 1700 and 1822. Acknowledged as the two pillars of continuity of the Portuguese empire during modern age, the Concils and the brotherhoods of Misericórdias (Santa Casa de Misericórdia) were also the main sources of supports of the charity system which aimed more broadly at the population. However, Portuguese America witnessed a rather limited and fragmented network of Misericórdias during the colonial period. Based on discourses preaching love of neighbour, these institutions selected their beneficiary public; they ranked services, and sometimes sealed off certain groups, notably the mestizos and the slaves. Faced with a definitely fragile care network and with the considerable reduction of scope of who were eligible to benefit from the Misericórdias, Brazil\'s poor shave turned to informal support networks, rather than to the establishments which appropriated Christian notions of charity.

L'Encens et le luminaire dans le haut Moyen Age occidental: liturgie et pratique dévotionnelles / Incense and lighting in high Middle Ages: liturgy and devotional uses

Gauthier, Catherine 13 May 2008 (has links)
Cette recherche étudie l'importance de la liturgie et de la paraliturgie dans la société médiévale par le biais des utilisations et de la symbolique de l'encens et du luminaire dans la liturgie romano-gallicane (VIe-Xe s.)et dans les pratiques dévotionnelles du haut Moyen Age occidental.<p><p>L’importance de l’Église dans tous les aspects de la vie au Moyen Âge est indéniable. Pourtant l’on connaît encore mal la place qu’y occupe la liturgie ;or, la liturgie est au cœur de l’Église puisque elle est définie comme l’ensemble des rites et principes mis en place par une religion – ici chrétienne – pour établir le déroulement des actes cultuels et de la relation au sacré. Elle est dès lors fondamentale à une époque où la majorité du corps social se reconnaît comme chrétien, elle est l’expression de la religion et rythme toute la société médiévale. <p>Depuis plusieurs années, elle suscite l’intérêt justifié de quelques médiévistes. Ceux-ci ont souligné l’importance de considérer la liturgie dans sa globalité, c'est-à-dire de dépasser la simple étude des livres liturgiques pour s’intéresser également à la façon dont la liturgie était perçue, reçue et vécue par les fidèles notamment au travers de leurs pratiques dévotionnelles, c’est ce que l’on appelle la paraliturgie. <p><p>La liturgie se caractérise par la récurrence des rites qui sont des suites ordonnées de gestes, de sons, d’objets mis en œuvre par un groupe social à des fins symboliques. À ce titre, l’étude des éléments constitutifs de la liturgie se justifie pleinement, puisque le rite ne s’accomplit et n’est efficace que dans la permanence de tous ses éléments. <p><p>L’encens et le luminaire ont ceci de particulier que leurs fonctions utilitaires, pour éclairer et désodoriser, les rendent indispensables à la liturgie. Par ailleurs, le propre du rituel est de donner sens, or, l’encens et le luminaire, par leurs propriétés naturelles se sont vus conférer un sens symbolique dans toutes les cultures où ils sont utilisés. Ce sont des éléments bénéfiques utilisés particulièrement dans la religion car ils permettent de matérialiser la communication entre le monde terrestre et le monde céleste. Toutefois, dans la religion chrétienne, l’encens et le luminaire ont un statut inférieur ou secondaire par rapport au calice ou à l’hostie par exemple. <p><p><p>L’ensemble de ces caractéristiques augurait de l’existence d’un rapport particulier entre ces objets et le fidèle ;leur étude constitue dès lors un outil efficace pour connaître l’impact de la liturgie sur la société médiévale. Sans compter que l’étude des éléments constitutifs de la liturgie n’en est qu’à ses débuts, et si le luminaire a suscité quelques publications récentes, l’encens n’a que peu été abordé ;l’étude de leur couple est, en tous les cas, inédite. Par ailleurs, l’étude de l’encens et du luminaire s’inscrit dans des débats historiographiques plus larges notamment celui des relations commerciales, puisque l’encens est un produit oriental et l’huile d’olive méditerranéen, ce qui en renforce encore l’intérêt. <p><p>Pour connaître les utilisations de l’encens et du luminaire dans la liturgie, préalables indispensablse à la connaissance de leurs emplois dans la paraliturgie, il faut se tourner vers les sources liturgiques ce qui consitute la première partie du travail. <p>L’analyse de ces différentes sources liturgiques a permis de mettre en évidence les usages officiels et les symboliques donnés à l’encens et au luminaire dans les différents rituels de la liturgie romano-gallicane (la messe, la liturgie pascale, la dédicace, l’office divin, le temps de Noël, les funérailles et les rituels d’admission). <p>En définitive, l’encens et luminaire sont des médiateurs entre le monde terrestre et le monde céleste, ils matérialisent et réifient ce lien réciproque. Ils ont un caractère propitiatoire important, intimement lié à leurs vertus apotropaïques et basé sur leurs propriétés naturelles. <p>Les sources liturgiques ne fournissent pas d’information sur le fonctionnement de l’encens et du luminaire, sur leur économie ou sur la façon dont ils étaient utilisés par les fidèles pour manifester leur dévotion ;même si elles laissent entrevoir de riches possibilités. <p>Le champ des recherches à été élargi par l'étude de « dossiers ». Les recherches ont été focalisées autour de centres religieux bien connus dans l’historiographie grâce à des sources remarquables par leur qualité et/ou leur quantité qui ont suscité une bibliographie conséquente. Toutes les sources relatives au centre religieux ont ensuite été dépouillées et analysées systématiquement. Les dossiers de Tours,Reims, Auxerre et Saint-Riquier ont livré beaucoup d’éléments tant sur les questions de la fourniture et du fonctionnement que sur celles des pratiques dévotionnelles liées au luminaire. Les sources "non-liturgiques" de ces quatre dossiers ont ainsi révélé des pratiques communes pour assurer l’approvisionnement en luminaire, qui constitue une dépense importante. L’approvisionnement en encens est plus difficile à déceler. <p>Les sources non-liturgiques, en particulier les récits hagiographiques, apportent de la densité et de l’atmosphère aux sources liturgiques particulièrement froides et factuelles. Elles donnent incidemment des informations sur la forme et le fonctionnement du luminaire principalement, et elles complètent et corroborent les éléments de la première partie. Les éléments concernant le culte des saints sont nombreux. <p>Les pratiques dévotionnelles relevées (culte des saints, donations pour le luminaire, offrandes de cierges, utilisations apotropaïque du luminaire et de l'encens, etc.) témoignent donc que les symboliques du cierge, plus largement du luminaire, et de l'encens sont communes aux pratiques liturgiques et dévotionnelles. <p><p>Le travail montre que la cire, l’huile et l’encens sont utilisés de façon régulière par les églises et qu’ils étaient disponibles sur les marchés locaux pour les ecclésiastiques. Il faut vraisemblablement distinguer plusieurs niveaux de qualité conditionnant l’utilisation de ces matières. <p><p>L’encens et le luminaire sont des outils pertinents pour apprécier la façon dont la liturgie était vécue dans la société médiévale, notamment grâce à leurs usages dans les pratiques paraliturgiques. / Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Negócios nas tensões coloniais (1640 - 1750) : observações sobre um debate recente / Business in colonial tensions (1640 - 1750) : notes on a recent debate

Busca-se fazer uma discussão entre as perspectivas do Antigo Sistema Colonial e do que veio a denominar-se Antigo Regime nos Trópicos. Após vinte e poucos anos do início da polêmica entre as perspectivas, os entraves que as separaram em lados opostos parecem perder o sentido. Como toda história é história contemporânea, o contexto que havia informado a mudança de perguntas sobre o passado colonial, acompanhando a consolidação da controvérsia e a revisão de teses consagradas, mudou uma vez mais. O problema de nosso tempo sendo marcado pelo domínio do mercado sobre a vida, ao criar a necessidade de perguntar-se por como seus mecanismos funcionaram à colônia e sua relação com a sociedade, permite a possibilidade de contato entre as unidades de análise distintas a partir desta questão, bem como através dela ler o campo aberto pela historiografia nestas últimas décadas, nas suas incursões sobre histórias regionais. Para tanto, segue-se o rastro das tensões geradas pela realização dos negócios coloniais, que, na passagem para o século XVIII, são identificadas em variados fenômenos ligados à orientação da vida econômica ao mercado / Abstract: In this work we propose a problem in the field of brazilian historiography on economics and society, under the angle of the market. We seek to realize a discussion between the perspective of the Old Colonial System and the Old Regime in the Tropics one. After twenty and a couple of years from de beginning of the controversy, the issues that kept them separated in opposite sites seem to have lost its meaning. As all history is contemporary history, the context which had informed a change of questions about colonial past, following the consolidation of the dispute and the revision of stablished thesis, has shifted once again. The problem of our time being defined by the mercantilization of all aspects of life brings about the question of how its mechanisms operated at the colony and how was its relation with society, and with this allows the possibility of dialogue between the two distinct unity of analysis through the market issue, as well as make possible to apprehend historiography's last decades field through it, in its incursions on regional history. For that, we trail the course of the tensions brought forth by the realization of colonial business, which, in the passage to the eighteenth century, are identified in various phenomenas connected with economic life being oriented to the market / Mestrado / Historia Economica / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico
