The purpose of this thesis is to examine the letters of Diderot to Sophie Volland for the year 1759 as they are a source of important autobiographical, social, and psychological elements that shed light on Diderot's private and public life. In fact a turning point in the sentimental relationship between Diderot and Sophie Volland, the death of his father, the difficulties experienced in publishing the Encyclop6'die and consequently the coolness in his friendship with D'Alembert make 1759 a crucial year in Diderot's life. The conclusion reached is that the stylistically beautiful and modern letters to Sophie Volland of this year are self-revelatory for they show that the events of 1759 made a great psychological impact upon Diderot and started a process of maturity in his character. These letters can undoubtedly be considered a major part of Diderot's work and they can certainly contribute to a deeper understanding of this genius.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine evidences of dramatic technique in Diderot's three major fictional works, "La Reliieuse," "Le Neveu de Rameau," and "Jaccues le fataliste." The management of dialogue, setting, and gesture is of particular concern, along with style and structure and the recurrent theme of the actor. The conclusion reached is that the influence of dramatic technique is everywhere present in the three works under consideration. Diderot enlists the reader's visual and auditory participation by the use of fast-paced dialogue, striking gestures, and dynamic settings. He also borrows certain stylistic and structural devices from the theater and enhances the dramatic impression by presenting many of his main characters as actors playing their own special roles.

O presente trabalho consiste numa abordagem semiótica da obra literária de Lourenço Mutarelli, a qual compreende três romances: O Cheiro do Ralo, O Natimorto e Jesus Kid. Os textos são estudados com base em desenvolvimentos promovidos por semioticistas na área de semiótica poética e literatura; no que diz respeito a essa última, sobretudo as colaborações de Denis Bertrand em seu livro Caminhos da Semiótica Literária. Por conta das características do autor estudado, se propõem discussões a respeito de ethos, veredicção, enunciador e narrador; conceitos mais diretamente ligados à retórica e a Análise do Discurso. / This work consists of a boarding semiotics of the literary composition of Lourenço Mutarelli, who wrote three romances: O Cheiro do Ralo, O Natimorto and Jesus Kid.

Die Magisterarbeit „Romanischer und gotischer Sakralbau in Frankreich am Beispiel der Abteikirche von Saint-Denis“ beschäftigt sich mit den Gründen für den im 12. Jahrhundert stattfindenden Baustilwandel, wie und warum er sich ausgerechnet zuerst an der kleinen Abteikirche im Pariser Umland vollzog und welche Rolle dem dortigen Abt Suger zukam. Zunächst werden grundlegende Fakten und Beispiele zum mittelalterlichen Sakralbau in Frankreich vermittelt, anschließend die beiden aufeinanderfolgenden Epochen Romanik und Gotik temporal, territorial und vor allem architektonisch eingeordnet und beschrieben. Den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet die kritische Analyse der Abteikirche von Saint-Denis, wobei sowohl architektur-stilistische als auch (kirchen-)politische Aspekte einer eingehenden Betrachtung unterzogen werden. Zum besseren Verständnis ist der Arbeit ein Glossar architektonischer Fachbegriffe beigefügt. / This paper deals with the wherefores of the architectural style transition from the Romanesque age to the Gothic era in the 12th century in Europe, especially in France. The author points out why one can say that the Gothic style starts in the small abbey church Saint Denis, situated in the environs of Paris, and which role is assigned to its abbot Suger. First, sample churches illustrate basic facts about medievial sacred architecture in France. Following this, the paper classifies the Romanesque and Gothic period in a temporal as well as territorial and architectural way. The paper’s focus is on a critical analysis of the abbey church Saint Denis which reviews thoroughly both architectural-stylistic and ecclesio-political aspects at that time. For a better understanding, a glossary of architectural technical terms is attached.
