5	The Danse Macabre in Richard Daye’s A Booke Of Christian Prayers (1581): Prescriptive Instruction To Promptly Prepare For Death Chura, Amanda Jane 03 August 2011 (has links) This research focused on Richard Daye's 1581 publication of A Booke of Christian Prayers, an overtly Protestant document. Specifically, this study looked at how images were used as an educational tool in prescriptive literature. The illustrations in the danse macabre of A Booke of Christian Prayers reflected and reinforced changes to the English religious culture surrounding death and the dead. Printers utilized such images of death to teach viewers about how good Christians should live. The danse macabre instructed sixteenth-century people on the importance immediate and sustained preparation in order to have a good Protestant death. A numerical analysis of the social standing, age, and gender of the danse macabre figures revealed that Daye printed A Booke of Christian Prayers for men who occupied professional and middling positions. Such imagery instructed Christians to quickly incorporate these changes into daily practice because Death could appear at anytime to anyone. / Dr. Lynn A.

7	Les représentations de la mort dans la création artistique actuelle : histoire, contextualisation, comparaisons / The representations of death in present artistic creation : history, contextualisation, comparison Heyd, Marie 10 April 2015 (has links) Alors que les individus dans la société contemporaine sont unis non par une propriété mais par un devoir et par une dette, par un manque, par une limite prenant la forme d’une charge pour celui qui en est affecté, la postmodernité rend à la mort et à l’absence toute sa densité. À travers la répétition, entre jubilation et désespérance, les artistes figurent la temporalité de l’épreuve par une écriture qui travaille l’instant. Ils racontent ces évènements infimes qui sont les plus fragiles, les plus précaires, ayant pourtant une forte efficacité. Il s’agira ici d’étudier les nouvelles postures devant l’événement historique, quand l’artiste se tient au plus singulier. / While individuals in contemporary society are united not by property but by a duty and a debt, a lack, by a limit taking the shape of a responsibility for the one who is affected, postmodernism returns to death and absence all its density. Through repetition, between jubilation and despair, the artist represents the temporality of the event. His writing works the moment. He tells these tiny events that are the most fragile, the most precarious, having nevertheless a strong efficiency. This thesis will try to study the new postures in front of the historic event, when the artist stands in the most singular.

8	Revenants from the Church to literature Livermore, Christian January 2016 (has links) Factual accounts of revenants – the risen dead – seized the medieval imagination in the early eleventh century, and were recorded by serious historians and ecclesiastics as true. They then began to appear in secular imaginative literature and art, growing progressively more elaborate and frightening throughout the Middle Ages whilst retaining many of the religious overtones expressed overtly in the ecclesiastic tales. By the early modern and modern period, the tales were removed from any overt religious context and were told as purely imaginative literature. The academic half of this thesis explores the influence on the tales of the Christian doctrine of resurrection and the cult of the body of Christ and of the saints, then traces the migration of those tales into imaginative literature from the Middle Ages to the present. It identifies key motifs from the medieval chronicles and imaginative literature that continue to appear in modern stories, and explores the extent to which Christian eschatology altered perceptions of the dead and why, in an increasingly secular context, fascination with such tales continued into modern literature, what part fear of death played throughout this period, and how that fear was expressed, first in an ecclesiastical context, then in imaginative literature through horror stories. The creative half of my thesis is a literary fiction novel updating a medieval revenant tale, the Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead, to twenty-first century New England. 820.9
9	Den dödlige narren : En studie av satir och humor i dödsdansen av Hans Holbein den yngre / The deadly jester : A study of satire and humor in Hans Holbein the younger's dance of death Karadh, Sofie January 2023 (has links) Hans Holbein's Dance of Death has fascinated researchers for centuries, and in the shape of the book Les Simulachres et historiées de la mort, published in 1538, it was going to change the perception of the dance of death theme for a long time ahead. What most researchers point out about Holbein's pictures is its underlying sense of satire or irony – but is typically glossed over as a matter of fact. The aim of this study is to explore what makes satire and humor apparent in Holbein's dance of death. The study mainly focuses on four separate images from Holbein's series, that represent different social standings and professions to compare and study the difference in satire depending on this factor. By using Panofsky's iconographic method, Kemp's reception theory and Bachtin's theory about the carnivalesque and the grotesque, the study shows that Holbein was inspired by the earlier traditions of the Dance of Death theme but made certain new changes that were related to renaissance culture and ideas. These factors in combination with the ideas of the grotesque turned the frightful Death into something more than just a sudden harbinger of death – it was also part of carnival culture and laughter.
