Cette thèse s’intéresse aux forces sociales qui président à la structuration des systèmes monétaires nationaux. À travers l’exemple de l’histoire monétaire et financière coloniale canadienne (1654-1871) il s’agit de comprendre la mécanique et la logique de l’uniformisation des pratiques monétaires de compte et de paiement sur un territoire donné, en particulier suite à l’immixtion et à la circulation d’une monnaie allogène - dollarisation -. Durant cette période on assiste à un « basculement comptable » de la socio-économie coloniale au profit d’une unité de compte privée et d’origine allogène, le dollar. Cette victoire du « privé » contre le « public » procède de la formation d’un puissant consensus sur la monnaie, qui s’apparente à une énergie sociale endogène dont il s’agit de faire la sociologie historique dynamique. Bâtissant sur l’acquis institutionnaliste nous nous concentrons sur les processus d’adhésion et de luttes sociales. Avec les outils offerts par la sociologie interdépendantiste de Norbert Elias nous proposons de penser la genèse historique des monnaies à partir de « régimes d’interdépendances » interne et externe au système monétaire. Enfn nous nous intéressons à la dimension qualitative de ce processus en regardant le rôle des sphères d’échanges, des conversions et des interfaces dans la circulation des monnaies. / This work focuses on social forces that govern national monetary systems structuring process. Using the example of the Canadian monetary history (1654-1871) it is to understand the standardization of monetary practices of account and payment in a given area, especially following the penetration and circulation of a foreign currency - dollarization -. During this period an « accounting switch » occured which saw a private and foreign unit of account - the dollar - replacing the official sterling english system. This movement proceeds from the formation of a strong private consensus on money which we assimilate to an endogenous social energy. We then build on recent institutional approach of money to make a dynamic historical sociology analysis of Canadian monetary history, focusing on social conflicts and collective trust building. Using Norbert Elias genetic and dynamic sociology we think the national monetary system building in terms of internal and external interdependances. We finally point out the importance of conversions and interfaces behind monetary circulation.

O percurso que nesta dissertação se pretende seguir consiste em buscar elementos no pensamento de Norbert Elias, principalmente em sua teoria do Processo Civilizador, aliando a ênfase no caráter figuracional da dinâmica social (sem dicotomia entre indivíduo e sociedade, mas uma percepção de não separação entre ambos), para pensar sobre a constituição emocional dos sujeitos em interação. Ao definir as emoções como aspecto-chave a ser mapeado na obra do referido autor, procurar-se-á direcionar um olhar especial sobre os pontos dolorosos do processo constante que é amadurecer, tornar-se um indivíduo autossuficiente no estágio em que vivemos da modernidade, lançando mão ainda de autores que figuraram entre os referenciais teóricos do autor alemão. / The route that this dissertation intends to follow is to find elements in the thought of Norbert Elias, primarily in his theory of the Civilizing Process, combining the emphasis on figurational character of social dynamics (no dichotomy between individual and society, but a perception of not separation of both), to think about the emotional makeup of individuals in interaction. By defining emotions as key aspect to be mapped in the work of that author search will direct a special look on the pain points of the process constant that is mature, become self-sufficient an individual stage of modernity in which we live, throwing hand still authors who were among the theoretical frameworks of the German author.

A teoria de processo e figuração desenvolvida pelo autor ao longo de sua vida fundamenta-se na relação funcional de interdependência recíproca que se estabelece entre os indivíduos vivendo em sociedade. Com essa postura, Norbert Elias transpõe o campo das dicotomias já determinadas, pois estabelece a priori uma relação de interdependência entre indivíduo e sociedade. Tal abordagem teórica tem por objetivo a construção de modelos de análise, empiricamente embasados, calcados em uma perspectiva processual, de longo prazo, onde se identifique, simultaneamente, as alterações na estruturas sociais, para que, assim, possa-se chegar a visualizar a direção de seu curso. Outro apoio conceitual ao modelo teórico, além da noção processual, é a idéia de figuração, esta consiste, basicamente, na compreensão das organizações sociais - famílias, escolas, cidades ou estratos sociais - como sendo formadas pelas relações de interdependência entre os indivíduos. Em uma figuração são analisadas as dinâmicas das inclinações individuais que levam várias pessoas a se unirem em formarem uma sociedade. Dessa forma, os sentimentos e padrões de comportamento individuais são levados em consideração em igualdade com a análise de macroestrutura social. Neste trabalho, cada conceito será tratado isoladamente, porém sem que se perca a relação entre eles. Isso se deve a uma escolha didática, para que fique claro ao leitor as especificidades seja da noção de processo, seja da noção de figuração, bem como a maneira que se relacionam. Considerando que os arcabouços teóricos e empíricos não nascem descolados de um contexto social e histórico, bem como são igualmente fruto de percepções individuais de quem os produz, este trabalho apresenta ainda uma biografia concisa de Norbert Elias / Abstract: This doctoral thesis is dealing with the analysis of the sociological approach developed by the German sociologist Norbert Elias (1897-1990). The process and figuration theory developed by the author during his lifetime is based on the idea of functional relations of mutual interdependence established between individuals living in society. From this starting point, Norbert Elias establishes a priori a relationship of interdependence between individual and society, transcending the field of predetermined dichotomies. Such theoretical approach aims at the construction of analytical models that are empirically substantiated and based on a long-term and process-related perspective. By identifying the changes occurring within social structures, it renders possible to visualize the direction of their course. In addition to the notion of process, the idea of figuration has been considered as part of Elias' theoretical model. This idea comprises basically an understanding of social organizations - families, schools, cities or social classes - as being formed by relations of interdependence between individuals. In a given figuration the individual penchants are analyzed that bring different people to come together making up a society. Thus, sentiments and patterns of individual behavior are considered in the same way as the social macro-structure is analyzed. In this work, each concept is treated separately, but without ignoring the relation between them. This is due to a didactical choice in order to clarify to the reader the specifics of the two concepts, process and figuration, as well as the ways that characterize their interrelation. Taking into consideration that the theoretical and empirical frameworks do not come into being detached from a specific social and historical context and, in addition, have to be understood as the fruits of the individual perceptions of whom has been responsible for generating them, this thesis presents also a short biography of Norbert Elias / Doutorado / Doutor em Sociologia

Figure encore largement incomprise, Norbert Elias est d’abord connu pour sa théorie sur le processus de civilisation. Or, il a consacré tout autant ses efforts dans l’élaboration d’une théorie de la connaissance sociologique qu’à l’observation empirique de la réalité sociale. Réfléchir sur l’essor et la possibilité des sciences de la nature ainsi que des sciences sociales et humaines lui permet de poser les jalons d’une véritable sociologie scientifique qui servirait à orienter l’activité des individus vivant en société vers les lieux utopiques de la vie harmonieuse. Ses observations empiriques sur la société de cour et sur la dynamique de l’Occident ont servi à mettre à l’épreuve sa théorie de la société des individus, dans laquelle la société est comprise comme un processus configurationnel envisagé sur le très long terme. Cette théorie institue les principes fondamentaux de la « société ce processus », principes qui serviront de guide à ses réflexions sur la possibilité de la connaissance sociologique scientifique. Comme toute connaissance qui se veut scientifique se construit à partir des caractéristiques de son objet, je réponds en premier lieu dans ce mémoire à la question « qu’est-ce que la société selon Norbert Elias? ». Dans un deuxième temps, à partir de sa définition de la société, j’examine pourquoi il se sent autorisé à affirmer avec conviction que sa sociologie peut se qualifier de scientifique. Autrement dit, j’expose ce qui rend possible selon l’auteur la capacité à observer les processus sociaux « du dehors » de la société. Parce que là est le nœud du problème : c’est toujours de l’extérieur de la société qu’il est possible de l’observer scientifiquement. En analysant ces deux aspects, je réponds ultimement à la question « qu’est-ce que la connaissance sociologique selon Norbert Elias? ».

This master's thesis deals with the influence of The Kalevala and the Finnish language on the English writer John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and his work. The main purpose is to provide a possibly most complex description of The Kalevala's influence on Tolkien. Firstly, the background of The Kalevala, the role of Elias Lönnrot during its birth and its importance, and secondly, Tolkien, his work and his discovery of The Kalevala are introduced. The main part of the thesis focuses on Tolkien's inspiration by The Kalevala out of three different perspectives. The first one is the influence of the Finnish language on Quenya, one of Tolkien's fictional languages. The second one is The Kalevala's importance for Tolkien from a general point of view - especially the influence of Lönnrot's role, The Kalevala's mythology, several abstract aspects of The Kalevala led by the importance of singing and The Kalevala's structure is crucial. The third one is Tolkien's inspiration by The Kalevala from a concrete point of view. Particularly the importance of The Kalevala's character Väinämöinen and the story of the Sampo is significant here.

[pt] O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar a trajetória da literatura de civilidade e dos manuais de etiqueta no Brasil, refletindo sobre aspectos centrais do contexto histórico e cultural em que estiveram inseridos. Utilizando o conceito de processo civilizador, de Norbert Elias, buscou-se compreender a conjuntura histórica que marcou a chegada deste tipo de literatura ao Brasil, especialmente sob a forma de manuais de etiqueta, como consequência da europeização dos costumes iniciada com a vinda da corte portuguesa para o Rio de Janeiro. Empreendeu-se uma análise dos discursos presentes em dois manuais de etiqueta: Novo Manual do Bom Tom (Verardi, [1857] 1900) e Guia de Boas Maneiras (Carvalho, [1961] 1966). Buscou-se traçar pontos de transformação e de permanências dos comportamentos nos dois manuais, enfocando aspectos da higiene, funções corporais, controle dos gestos e hábitos à mesa. A dissertação discute em que medida os discursos normativos trazidos pela literatura de civilidade podem ser vistos como reveladores das engrenagens do consumo e da sociedade moderna. / [en] This research aims to investigate the trajectory of the literature on civility and the manuals of etiquette in Brazil, reflecting upon core aspects of the histori-cal and cultural context in which they were placed. Using Norbert Elias s concept of civilizing process, it was sought to understand the historical context that marked the arrival of this type of literature in Brazil, especially in the form of eti-quette manuals, as a consequence of the Europeanization of customs initiated with the coming of the Portuguese Court to Rio de Janeiro. An analysis of the discourses present in two manuals of etiquette: New Manual of Good Taste (Verardi, [1857] 1900) and Guide of Good Manners (Carvalho, [1961] 1966) were undertaken. It was sought to draw points of transformation and permanence of the behaviors in the two manuals, focusing on aspects of hygiene, body functions, control of gestures and habits at the table. This work discusses how the normative discourses brought by the literature of civility may reveal the gears of the con-sumption and also the modern society.
