La prison de la Conciergerie occupe une place particulière dans le paysage pénitentiaire parisien du XVIIe siècle. Elle accueille de nombreux prisonniers pour dette, les prisonniers jugés en première instance par l’une des juridictions siégeant dans Palais de la Cité, dont elle occupe les bâtiments, mais aussi et surtout les prisonniers en appel devant le parlement de Paris. A partir de l’analyse de parcours individuels de prisonniers et de personnels de la Conciergerie (les dynasties de concierges Regnoust et Dumont), reconstitués grâce aux archives criminelles et notariales, la thèse porte sur les relations sociales et les comportements au sein de la prison. Après une première partie consacrée à un état des lieux de la Conciergerie au début du XVIIe siècle, la deuxième partie met en avant les particularités de sa société carcérale : moins séparée du monde extérieur que les prisons actuelles, elle reproduit à petite échelle la société parisienne. Plutôt que sur une distinction rigoureuse entre hommes et femmes et entre catégories criminelles, son organisation est fondée sur la position sociale et la richesse. Les prisonniers régulent eux-mêmes leurs conflits, le plus souvent sans faire appel au personnel. Quant à l’univers socio-professionnel des gardiens, il ressemble beaucoup à celui des métiers parisiens par les relations à la fois solidaires et hiérarchisées entre le concierge et ses guichetiers et morgeurs. La troisième partie porte sur « l’aventure de l’évasion », révélatrice de l’importance du contexte social et culturel dans la décision, la préparation et l’exécution d’une telle entreprise. / The prison of the Conciergerie occupied a special place in the Paris prison landscape of the seventeenth century. It hosted many prisoners for debt, prisoners tried in first instance by one of the courts sitting in the Palais de Justice, which occupied the buildings, but also and above all the prisoners appealed to the parliament of Paris. From the analysis of individual pathways both of prisoners and staff of the Conciergerie (dynasties of chief jailers Regnoust and Dumont) and reconstituted from criminal and notarial archives, the thesis focuses on social relationships and behavior within the prison. After a first part dedicated to an overview of the Conciergerie in the early seventeenth century, the second part highlights the peculiarities of this prison society: less separated from the outside world that the current prison, it played small-scale Parisian society. Rather than on a rigorous distinction between men and women and between criminal groups, the organization was based on social status and wealth. Prisoners regulated their own conflicts, often without involving staff. As for the socio-professional world of guards, it resembled that of the Parisian business relations, involving both solidarity and hierarchy between the jailers. The third part focuses on "the adventure of escape", revealing the importance of social and cultural context in the decision, preparation and execution of such an undertaking.

In this thesis I argue that Jordan of Saxony (d. 1237), Master of the Order of Preachers, fostered a culture of openness toward the participation of women in the religious life of the Dominican order. This is demonstrated, in part, through the study of the nature of Jordan's support for Diana d'Andalò (d. 1236) and her convent of Sant'Agnese and his presentation of female pastoral care in the Libellus, his history of the order. The argument is also developed by means of a chronologically-informed reading of Jordan's letters, which explores his use of familial language, his employment of the topoi of spiritual friendship, and the significance he attributes to the role of religious women's prayer in the order's evangelical mission. Jordan's friendship with Diana d'Andalò and her convent of Sant'Agnese is well-known, if not necessarily well-explored. It is usually treated as a case apart from the order's increasing hostility to the pastoral care of religious and devout women, which gained momentum over the course of Jordan's tenure. This thesis seeks to break down this compartmentalized view by articulating not only the close parallels between Jordan's perception of friars and nuns within the order, but also the way in which he extended bonds of mutual religious commitment to religious women outside the order. As such, this study also intends to contribute to a growing historiography that explores the various ways in which medieval men and women participated together in religious life.

A análise da documentação histórica, sobretudo jesuítica, atenta, na primeira parte, para as regras da Companhia de Jesus, no que se refere à música, e para suas adaptações e debates em missões na Ásia e na América Portuguesa. Aspectos das culturas nativas possibilitam a passagem das normas às práticas, em três espaços: costa e planalto paulista na metade do século XVI, Amazônia seiscentista e sertão nordestino nas últimas décadas do século XVII. Busca-se, assim, contar uma história de constantes negociações, na qual a música desempenha papéis plurais, onde atores colocam em jogo sonoridades que se revelam indispensáveis ao diálogo religioso entre ameríndios e missionários / Abstract: This thesis explores musical relations between Jesuit missionaries and Amerindian peoples in colonial Portuguese America (Brazil and the State of Maranhão) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Based mainly on Jesuit sources, this work focuses initially on the musical conventions adopted by the Society of Jesus and on their discussion and adaption within the missionary contexts of Portuguese Asia and America. The thesis then argues that different aspects of native cultures enabled the transition from conventions to practice, with emphasis on three spatial contexts: the sixteenth-century coast and São Paulo plateau, the seventeenth-century Amazon, and the northeastern hinterland. In sum, the thesis develops a story of constant negotiation, where music played multiple roles and where different historical agents exchanged sounds that proved to be indispensible in the religious dialogue between Amerindian peoples and European missionaries / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História

The Master of the Budnany Altarpiece (in other circumstances also called Master of the Vejprnice Altarpiece) appears to be a painting workshop operating in the 1590s, probably in Prague or hypothetically in Cheb (Eger). It is a construct created by art historians on the basis of a group of surviving works that show significant stylistic similarities. It includes three torsionally preserved painted altarpieces. These are the Budňany altarpiece, the Pruhonice altarpiece and the altarpiece of the Knights of the Cross monastery. Mostly these are works of lower quality, which, according to current interpretation, illustrate the average production of Prague workshops at the end of the 15th century. Stylistically, they are strongly derived from the production of the Nuremberg Painting Centre, but also, allegedly, from the problematically defined contemporary "court" painting in Prague. The so-called "Vejprnice panel", originally the main part of another painted altarpiece, was also included in the group for a time because of its stylistic affinity, which transformed the naming of the anonymous workshop master. The author of this conception was Jaroslav Pešina, who was by far the most active on the subject, most recently in 1978, and this thesis thus partly polemics with his conclusions.

Objective: Training and abilities of junior athletes Prepared by: Bc. Petr Dubský Supervisor: PaedDr. Jitka Vindušková, CSc. The aim of the work: The aim of the work was to find out the level of performance preconditions of two junior runners on the middle tracks, analyze the structure and content of their training, their performance in selected tests and the development of performance in their main disciplines. Methodology: The work has the character of a two-case study. Methods of literature search, analysis, comparison and evaluation were used. The analysis of training records and competition results of two athletes from the 2017 season was used to compile this work. I analyzed their performances in individual seasons. I also performed an analysis of training records, where general and special training indicators were evaluated and compared with the results of similar analyzes of other athletes. I analyzed the results of two tests in the biochemical laboratory, which we completed during the preparation for the 2017 season. Conclusion: When comparing the training records with the professional literature and with selected athletes, we come to the conclusion that the training load was insufficient for the monitored athletes. As a result, they could not achieve better results this season. By...

La légende de Théophile est complexe et elle occupe une place privilégiée dans l’Occident médiéval. Elle est représentée dans plusieurs manuscrits et sur de nombreux vitraux. Elle est également sculptée sur les parois de quelques églises et elle bénéficie très tôt d’une vaste tradition textuelle. L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser ce thème en l’articulant à la réalité historique, aux comportements humains, mais aussi en effectuant de continuels allers et retours entre les images, les textes et leur environnement. Ainsi, l’étude sérielle et relationnelle de cinquante images provenant de supports variés (manuscrits, vitraux, images sculptées), combinée à l’analyse de plusieurs textes, révèle la dynamique et l’inventivité des représentations de cette légende particulièrement entre le IXe et le XVIe siècle.

En 1817 et 1820 arrivent dans la ville de Québec 180 tableaux, envoyés de Paris par l'abbé Philippe-Jean-Louis Desjardins à son frère l'abbé Louis-Joseph Desjardins. Ces envois connus sous le nom de « collection Desjardins » sont l'objet de cette étude. Philippe-Jean-Louis Desjardins a acquis ces toiles en France, à partir de 1803, dans un contexte postrévolutionnaire, en vue de tirer profit du manque de tableaux à sujet religieux au Bas-Canada. Leur vente à plusieurs églises et institutions religieuses québécoises sera l'occasion d'un nouvel intérêt pour la peinture d'histoire. En plus de situer les circonstances historiques qui expliquent la présence de ces toiles au Canada, le réseau de distribution auprès des paroisses, des communautés et des collectionneurs est dressé afin de saisir le rayonnement de ces oeuvres. La thèse analyse le discours historiographique qui s'est constitué sur le sujet et la position qu'il occupe dans le discours sur l'art au Québec. Elle montre que la notion de collection ne saurait s'appliquer à ce groupe d'œuvres destinées au commerce. Le catalogue de ces importations est complété à partir des sources manuscrites et visuelles disponibles, ce qui perm et également d'en brosser un portrait d'ensemble tant au plan iconographique qu'au plan artistique. Des informations révèlent également que Louis-Joseph Desjardins était très actif dans le commerce des tableaux. Parmi les toiles qu'il met en marché on retrouve des copies des tableaux du fonds Desjardins, copies partielles ou interprétées, qui manifestent les rôles divers que les originaux européens ont joué dans la formation ou la consolidation de la carrière des artistes locaux. Il est alors possible de proposer une interprétation sur le rapport que les peintres québécois entretenaient avec des modèles étrangers. Jean-Baptiste Roy-Audy, Joseph Légaré et Antoine Plamondon constituent le noyau principal d'artistes qui furent influencés par ces toiles. Louis-Joseph Desjardins a également profité du talent de quelques religieuses Ursulines qui ont réalisé des copies ou des compositions originales pour répondre à ses nombreuses demandes. La complexité et la diversité du milieu artistique ressort en filigrane de cette thèse, où se profilent les nombreux partenaires : artistes, agents, commanditaires et acheteurs. La présence à Québec de plusieurs artistes itinérants américains et britanniques, les débuts d'une production littéraire sur les beaux-arts dans les périodiques et la constitution la collection de Joseph Légaré et son projet d'une « galerie » accessible au public sont quelques-uns des éléments qui ajoutent au rayonnement que la peinture occupe au Bas-Canada au cours des années 1820 et 1830. Même s'ils ont préféré les coulisses de l'histoire, agissant avec discrétion, les abbés Desjardins furent, par leurs activités commerciales, deux acteurs de premier plan de la scène artistique canadienne.

La correspondance de Sidoine Apollinaire (Ve siècle) et de Loup de Ferrières (IXe siècle) permet d'éclairer un aspect de l'équilibre entre l'oral et l'écrit, soit l'importance de la lettre comme moyen de communication. La lettre est un outil de communication ambivalent où s'entremêlent des influences orales et écrites. Sidoine, imbu de traditions classiques considère la pratique épistolaire comme un art avec un contenu plutôt superficiel. Au contraire, Loup, élevé dans la tradition monastique, écrit des missives pour des raisons plus pratiques. Les lettres de Loup sont moins liées dans leur forme a une performance orale que celles de Sidoine pour qui la valeur oratoire du texte est primordiale. La lettre d'amitié du Ve siècle est devenue au IXe siècles une lettre pratique. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013

In and around the 870s, Britain was transformed dramatically by the campaigns and settlements of the Great Army and its allies. Some pre-existing political communities suffered less than others, and in hindsight the process helped Scotland and England achieve their later positions. By the twelfth century, the rulers of these countries had partitioned the former kingdom of Northumbria. This thesis is about what happened in the intervening period, the fate of Northumbria's political structures, and how the settlement that defined Britain for the remainder of the Middle Ages came about. Modern reconstructions of the era have tended to be limited in scope and based on unreliable post-1100 sources. The aim is to use contemporary material to overcome such limitations, and reach positive conclusions that will make more sense of the evidence and make the region easier to understand for a wider audience, particularly in regard to its shadowy polities and ecclesiastical structures. After an overview of the most important evidence, two chapters will review Northumbria's alleged dissolution, testing existing historiographic beliefs (based largely on Anglo-Norman-era evidence) about the fate of the monarchy, political community, and episcopate. The impact and nature of ‘Southenglish' hegemony on the region's political communities will be the focus of the fourth chapter, while the fifth will look at evidence for the expansion of Scottish political power. The sixth chapter will try to draw positive conclusions about the episcopate, leaving the final chapter to look in more detail at the institutions that produced the final settlement.

The medieval period (approximately 800 to 1300 AD) in Western Europe is noted for its rich tradition in religious Roman Catholic iconography. Frequently the only art works to be produced in the period, or to have survived, are religious icons of the period reflecting the dominant nature of the feudal structure of society and the oppressive circumstances that led to their execution. The works can be seen as a means of escape, although in an afterlife, or they might also be interpreted as a protest against the oppressive nature of the condition of the artist. The "rigidity" of a medieval existence and the utilisation of religious art as a means of expressing unhappiness with that existence may, as it is argued here, be interpreted as a means of protest. Rigid and oppressive political structures are not isolated to any particular historical period. South Africa too was an oppressive society where the material and political advancement of the majority of the population was stifled through discriminatory legislation and similar means making meaningful protest difficult, if not dangerous. This dissertation argues that religious art too became a means of protest in a manner intended to reflect the religious viewpoints of the artist but with political intentions and subtext. Similar themes in modern South African iconography (from approximately 1850 to 1994) and medieval prototypes are therefore discernible. / History / M.A. (History)
