O retorno à antiga Grécia se funda na teoria do enigma de Giorgio Colli, teoria esta que faz uma retrospectiva às origens apolínea e dionisíaca deste fenômeno na Sophia da Filosofia. As imagens collianas do enigma são pistas fundamentais para compreender este fenômeno nas origens da Filosofia: o filósofo pinta o enigma como vestígio das pulsões estéticas (apolínea-dionisíaca) do pensamento humano. Por outro lado, a partir de um olhar aberto, faço um mergulho no universo do enigma para ressaltar as suas qualidades educativas na ótica do aprender a filosofar, sem, contudo, determinar categorias de enigmas conforme um programa escolar ou uma divisão segundo faixas etárias. Essa compreensão do enigma enquanto meio pedagógico na ótica do aprender se baseia na perspectiva de Dante Galeffi que configura o filosofar como um aprender a ser. Partindo de uma visão anti-utilitária, defendo a importância do uso do enigma para fins educativos, lançando mão de enigmas folclóricos, dialéticos e literários, entre outros, suspendendo qualquer hierarquia entre seus diversos tipos. Exemplificando, sem recorrer a uma análise teórica, mostro no final da dissertação alguns enigmas que fazem parte da minha formação cultural e filosófica e outros que usei na minha prática pedagógica, isto é, ministrando as aulas de Filosofia no segundo e terceiro grau. / Salvador

Depuis plus d’un siècle, la Grèce antique ne cesse d’éblouir philosophes et hommes de lettre en Occident. La tragédie occupe une place éminente dans cet émerveillement venu de l’Athènes du Ve siècle avant Jésus-Christ. C’est pour matérialiser cette fascination que ce théâtre a donné lieu à des interprétations de tout genre : philosophique, humaniste, politique et morale... Il s’agit de lectures idéologiques dont la tragédie en général et Sophocle en particulier a fait l’objet. Dans cette perspective, il importait d’effectuer un panorama des lectures de cette tragédie devenue un mythe contemporain. L’oeuvre de Sophocle a servi d’illustration à la visée idéologique d’un théâtre qui s’intégrait à l’origine dans le cadre des manifestations culturelles en l’honneur de Dionysos à Athènes. Y avait-il lieu d’universaliser et d’immortaliser ces interprétations, fruits de l’imaginaire occidental ? Fallait-il continuer la réincarnation des personnages de Sophocle qui aurait avec son Antigone et son OEdipe-roi réussi à élaborer des modèles inimitables de la tragédie et de l’existence de l’homme ? C’est pour questionner cette vision de Sophocle qu’il semble nécessaire d’exploiter les éléments esthétiques (chant, musique) de cette tragédie qui offrent de nouvelles pistes de réflexion en porte-à-faux avec la lecture idéologique observée dans la critique contemporaine. / For over a century the ancient Greek philosophers have amazed men of letters in the West. Since thefifth century BC tragedy as a genre has occupied a prominent place in Athens and through theatre this fascination has given rise to interpretations of all kinds: philosophical, humanistic, political and moral. These ideological readings of tragedy have most significantly focused on Sophocles. This dissertation offers a survey of these readings which have in time become contemporary myths. Sophocles’ works are ideologically embedded within cultural spectacle honoring Dionysus in Athens. Was it necessary to universalize and immortalize these western interpretations and reincarnate Sophocles’ characters, making Antigone and Oedipus Rex inimitable models of tragedy and mortal existence? This study proposes a critical reading of the Sophoclean vision of tragedy through an analysis of certain aesthetic elements (song, music) which allow a rethinking of the ideological readings observed in contemporary criticism

This study examines carnival and ritual in Breyten Breytenbach's dramatic oeuvre and focuses on his Afrikaans drama texts Boklied (1998) and Die toneelstuk (2001). Seeing that these dramas had their debut performances at the Afrikaans national arts festival, the Afrikaans festival phenomenon, as well as Breytenbach's texts will be discussed as framed Events, within a carnival environment, as defined and described by Russian philosopher Bakhtin. The study evolves around three critical questions: 1. How does Bakhtin define the term "carnival" and could Afrikaans national arts festvals be seen as platforms for carnavalesque expression? 2. How does Professor Temple Hauptfleisch define an Event and why can the Afrikaans national arts festivals, as well as the drama texts under discussion, be seen as such Events? 3. How does Breyten Breytenbach's texts link up with Bakhtin's carnival theory and the ritual nature of the Dionysos festivals? / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / M.A. (Afrikaans)

Assim como Sócrates representa a filosofia de Platão em seus diálogos e Zaratustra encarna os conceitos da filosofia nietzschiana, também o Meursault de Albert Camus é um avatar para sua filosofia. No eterno presente de Meursault, na terna indiferença de seu amor e abertura ao mundo e ao destino, estão encarnados os principais conceitos da filosofia camusiana. Na obra de Camus, a tragédia do protagonista de O Estrangeiro e sua postura diante do tempo, do mundo e do destino têm sua raiz na tragédia do Mersault de A Morte Feliz e, em última análise, na tragédia do inválido Zagreus: na morte do inválido Zagreus de A Morte Feliz está a tragédia original do Mersault de A Morte Feliz e do Meursault de O Estrangeiro. E Camus não deu o nome de Zagreus a esta personagem por acaso. Na tragédia do inválido Zagreus de A Morte Feliz e na tragédia dos protagonistas de A Morte Feliz e O Estrangeiro, Camus fez referência ao mito de Dioniso Zagreus. Nesta dissertação, mostraremos que a origem da filosofia de Camus em O Estrangeiro e A Morte Feliz está no mito de Dioniso Zagreus e, mais precisamente, no mito de Dioniso Zagreus segundo o interpretou Nietzsche. No conceito de dionisíaco em O Nascimento da Tragédia e nos correlatos conceitos nietzschianos de amor fati e eterno retorno, encontramos o lugar de gênese dos conceitos camusianos de eterno presente, terna indiferença, amor ao destino, amor ao mundo e abertura ao mundo na Tradição Filosófica, encarnados na figura dos protagonistas de O Estrangeiro e A Morte Feliz. Na filosofia de Nietzsche, encontramos a principal influência de Camus para a criação de sua filosofia em O Estrangeiro e A Morte Feliz. / Just as Socrates represents the philosophy of Plato in his dialogues and Zarathustra embodies the concepts of the nietzschian philosophy, the Meursault of Albert Camus is an avatar for his philosophy. In the eternal present of Meursault, in the tendre indifférence of his love and opening towards the world and towards his destiny, the main concepts of the camusian philosophy are depicted. In the works of Camus, the tragedy of Meursault in LÉtranger is originally in the tragedy of the Mersault in La Mort Heureuse, and moreover, in the tragedy of the crippled Zagreus: in the death of the crippled Zagreus in La Mort Heureuse and in the final tragedies of La Mort Heureuse and LÉtranger, Camus referred to the myth of Dionysos Zagreus. In this dissertation, we shall indicate the origin of the philosophy of Camus in LÉtranger and La Mort Heureuse; we shall indicate its origin in the myth of Dionysos Zagreus and, more precisely, in Nietzsches interpretation of that myth. In the nietzschian concept of dionysian and in the related nietzschian concepts of amor fati and eternal recurrence, we have found the main influence in the genesis of the camusian concepts of eternal present, tendre indifférence, love of destiny, love of the world and opening towards the world, all embodied in the Meursault of LÉtranger and in the Mersault of La Mort Heureuse. In the philosophy of Nietzsche, we have found Camus main influence for the creation of his philosophy in LÉtranger and La Mort Heureuse.

Cette thèse se propose d’étudier l’expression du mouvement dans la poésie grecque ancienne et plus particulièrement le lien qui unit la mort au mouvement de chute dans la poésie homérique. La question du mouvement apparaît en filigrane dans toutes les études qui se préoccupent de la mort en Grèce ancienne et de ses différentes représentations. À travers non seulement différentes expressions métaphoriques, mais aussi via la chute des corps sur le champ de bataille, la chute de certains objets et le plongeon de différents personnages, le mouvement illustre la mort ou son imminence. Loin de figurer seulement le plongeon de l’âme vers les Enfers, le mouvement de chute figure aussi un large éventail d’états émotionnels et s’avère un moyen efficace d’exprimer des états altérés de conscience, par exemple le passage entre la vie et la mort, le sommeil, la folie et l’ivresse, mais aussi des émotions d’une grande intensité telles que la colère, la douleur et la tristesse. Cette utilisation du mouvement de chute dans la poésie grecque s’exprime dans l’imaginaire poétique, mais également dans les pratiques rituelles recensées dans la poésie homérique. En effet, dans l’Iliade, le mouvement de chute, qui apparaît dans la libation, le serment rituel et les rites funéraires, ne signifierait pas seulement la mort, mais dans certains cas, la mort sans inhumation. Cette découverte nous permet de poser un regard nouveau sur les pratiques rituelles du poème qui mettent en lumière la véritable volonté des Achéens, explicitée au chant 3 (Il. 3. 276-301). Celle-ci consisterait non seulement à tuer les hommes et les enfants, et à mettre les femmes en esclavage, mais aussi à abandonner les corps de leurs ennemis aux éléments et donc de leur refuser l’inhumation, ce qui pose problème dans le contexte religieux de la Grèce ancienne. Le mouvement de chute, à travers le geste de projection, exprime une menace que le public grec devait parfaitement comprendre et qui s’avère centrale pour l’ensemble de l’intrigue. Il apparaît aussi que le mouvement posséderait une « efficacité magique » qui permettrait de déclencher et de sceller un serment. Durant toute l’Antiquité, la signification du mouvement change à travers le temps, s’approfondit, se complexifie et s’il permettait de représenter la mort et la tristesse chez Homère, durant toute la fin de l’époque archaïque jusqu’aux derniers jours de l’Empire romain, le mouvement prend parfois une connotation érotique. En raison de la capacité du mouvement à représenter différents états altérés de conscience et de ses liens étroits avec la mort et le deuil, le plongeon devient alors le modèle exemplaire de la souffrance amoureuse. Cette thèse permet donc d’observer l’évolution d’un motif qui conserve tout au long de l’Antiquité sa dimension mortifère, mais qui, encore aujourd’hui, exprime un lien poétique étroit entre la mort et l’érotisme. / This thesis proposes to study the expression of movement in ancient Greek poetry and particularly the link between death and the physical act of falling in Homeric poetry. The question of movement appears implicitly in all studies concerned with death in ancient Greece and its different representations. Through not only different metaphorical expressions, but also through the fall of bodies on the battlefield, the fall of certain objects and the plunge of different characters, human and divine, the movement illustrates death or its imminence. Far from representing only the plunge of the soul into the Underworld, the falling movement also represents a wide range of emotional states and proves to be an effective way of expressing altered states of consciousness, for example the passage between life and death, sleep, madness and drunkenness, but also emotions of great intensity such as anger, pain and sadness. This use of the movement in Greek poetry is expressed in the poetic imagination, but also in the ritual practices recorded in Homeric poetry. Indeed, in the Iliad, the movement of fall which appears in libation, ritual oath and funeral rites would not only mean death, but in certain cases, death without burial. This discovery allows us to take a new look at the ritual practices of the poem which bring to light the true will of the Achaeans, explicitly shown in the third book (Il. 3. 276- 301), which is not only to kill men and children, and to enslave women, but to abandon the bodies of their enemies to the elements and thus to refusing them burial, which is problematic in the religious context of the ancient Greece. The falling movement, through the gesture of projection, expresses a threat that the Greek audience had to fully understand and is central to the entire plot. It also appears that the movement would possess a "magical efficiency" which would make it possible to trigger and seal an oath. Throughout Antiquity, the meaning of the movement through time became more complex and if it represents death and sadness in Homer, throughout the end of the archaic period until the last days of the Roman Empire, the movement eventually took an erotic connotation. Because of his capacity to represent various altered states of consciousness and its close links with death and mourning, the plunge then becomes the exemplary model of the suffering in love. This thesis thus makes it possible to observe the evolution of a motive which preserves throughout Antiquity its mortiferous dimension, but which, even today, expresses a close poetic link between death and eroticism.

Cette thèse propose d’observer les ambiances sonores (i.e. sons, cris, paroles, bruits, moments de silence, etc.) et les musiques qui interviennent dans les cultes de la Mère des dieux, de Dionysos et de Déméter dans l’Athènes archaïque et classique, et d’en cerner les fonctions et significations. La composante sonore des cultes grecs, peu prise en considération dans les reconstructions historiques de la religion grecque ancienne, du moins jusqu’à récemment, joue un rôle pourtant fondamental tant dans la pratique rituelle que dans le récit. Ces deux formes d’expression de la religion – pratique rituelle et récit – sont d’ailleurs indissociables dans les témoignages anciens, de la même façon que les éléments imaginaires truffent les représentations inspirées de l’expérience rituelle. En examinant différents types de sources, parmi lesquelles les œuvres littéraires et les images sur vase demeurent les plus nombreuses et les plus instructives, et en abordant les différents aspects cultuels (pratique et récit / éléments imaginaires et réels) comme un ensemble cohérent, la phonosphère propre à chaque divinité se révèle de façon parfois frappante. Une telle démarche globalisante permet de mieux saisir l’expérience religieuse des Grecs, tout en favorisant une meilleure appréhension de certains phénomènes encore aujourd’hui sujets à controverses, par exemple le « ménadisme » et l’extatisme rituel. Car il ressort des témoignages que la musique, les sons et le silence, par leur pouvoir de communication notamment, remplissent des fonctions précises dans la pratique et le récit. Alors que certains sons et musiques visent à plaire à la divinité et, ainsi, à gagner sa faveur, par exemple, d’autres, investis de l’empreinte sonore de la divinité, exercent une emprise sur les mortels, emprise expérimentée dans le cadre de la pratique rituelle comme un moment de contact avec le divin. De cette emprise exercée par le moyen de la musique et des sons, peut résulter, dans certains cas, une guérison, une régulation des instabilités internes. Par ailleurs, la terminologie sonore dans la littérature se montre pratiquement toujours porteuse de sens, et permet de reconnaître l’univers évoqué et la ou les figure(s) divine(s) concernée(s). Répertorier les termes sonores propres à l’un ou l’autre culte facilite le repérage des associations établies entre certaines divinités, permettant ainsi des interprétations plus justes de certains passages de la littérature. D’un autre côté, la recherche sur les instruments de musique révèle des goûts et des tendances, possiblement attribuables dans certains cas à des changements significatifs survenus dans la sphère religieuse et politique de l’Athènes de la fin du Ve siècle. Par exemple, l’introduction progressive du tympanon dans l’univers dionysiaque à partir de la deuxième moitié du Ve siècle suggère une appropriation du culte de la Mère de dieux et de son instrument de prédilection par le peuple athénien. Cette observation, basée sur des témoignages de l’époque, contribue à illustrer la distinction que faisaient les Athéniens entre une religion considérée comme ancestrale, et une autre aux multiples formes et pour ainsi dire « additionnelle ». À cet égard, observer les éléments sonores dans les cultes mène non seulement à une meilleure connaissance desdits cultes, mais également à une meilleure compréhension de la société athénienne et des événements importants qui l’ont marquée. L’étude des sons, de leur place et de leurs fonctions dans la pratique et les récits contribue à l’approfondissement des connaissances concernant la religion grecque et les procédés de communication qu’elle met en place entre la sphère des mortels et celle des dieux, tout en favorisant une meilleure définition du milieu social et culturel dans lequel elle a évolué. / This thesis will consider the sound atmosphere (including cries, speech, noises and moments of silence) and music in the cults of the Great Mother, Dionysus and Demeter in Archaic and Classical Greece and their roles and meanings. Until recently, the audible component of Greek cults has rarely been considered by historical reconstructions. However, it played a fundamental role both in ritual practice and tales. These two expressions of religion – ritual practice and tales – are inextricably linked in ancient storytelling, just as representations inspired by the rituals are rife with imaginary elements. Examining different types of sources – of which the literary works and painted vases are the most numerous and enlightening – and considering the various cultural ingredients (tales and ritual practice, the imaginary and the real) as a coherent whole can provide insight into the phonosphere unique to each god in striking ways. This comprehensive approach leads to a better understanding of the religious experience of the Greeks, including certain phenomena that remain controversial today, such as maenadism and ecstatic ritual. The sources reveal that through their communicative power, music, sounds and silence filled specific functions in the ritual practices and tales. While some sounds and music were intended to please the god and hence gain favour, others bearing the god’s sonic signature held sway over mortals during rituals as a moment of personal contact with the divine. In certain cases, this aural sway could bring healing and a balancing of internal instability. Moreover, the sound vocabulary found in the literature almost invariably carries meaning that makes it possible to recognize the world and divine figures it describes. Cataloguing the sound vocabularies of individual cults/deities helps identify the relationships between certain gods. This in turn can clarify interpretations of certain passages in the literature. Similarly, research on musical instruments reveals tastes and trends, which could be attributed to the significant 5 changes in the religious and political spheres of Athens in the late 5th century BC. For example, the progressive introduction of the tympanum to the Dionysian world starting in the first half of the 5th century BC suggests that Athenians appropriated the cult of the Great Mother and the instrument most commonly associated with it. This observation, based on contemporary accounts, corroborates the distinction Athenians made between an ancestral religion and an “additional” multifaceted one. In that respect, investigating the sound atmosphere in these cults improves our understanding of not only the cults themselves, but also Athenian society as a whole and the milestone events that shaped it. Studying the sounds and their place and function in ritual practice and tales deepens our knowledge of Greek religion and the methods of communication it established between the realms of mortals and the gods. It also allows us to better characterize the social and cultural environments in which it developed
