Au carrefour du roman et de l’histoire : des points tournants du statut de la femme dans La Princesse de Montpensier et La Princesse de Clèves de Madame de Lafayette

Spagnolo, Tabitha L.B. 11 1900 (has links)
Cette these cherche a analyser le contenu litteraire de La Princesse de Montpensier et de La Princesse de Cleves de Madame de Lafayette en fonction de leur valeur comme des documents qui refletent le contexte socio-historique de leur epoque. Ainsi, on reconnait chez l'auteur la qualite de temoin astucieux qui imbue ses ecrits d'elements importants contribuant a une meilleure appreciation de la condition feminine au dix-septieme siecle. L'auteur de ces deux romans met au point le genre du roman historique afin de l'employer comme canevas sur lequel elle impose sa vision perspicace des elements sociaux qui influencent plusieurs aspects de la vie de la femme noble depuis sa jeunesse jusqu'ci sa mort. Afin de profiter de cette structure, ce travail s'organise en trois chapitres suivant la chronologie de cette vie. Commengant avec les representations de l'education de la jeune fille, on passe a sa formation visee au mariage et a une analyse detaillee du statut de la femme mariee. Finalement, on abdrde la question du statut de la veuve. En considerant tous ces elements a la lumiere des ecrits critiques et historiques qui ont paru pendant trois siecles, on ressort une richesse de renseignements portant sur les exigences d'ordre moral et pratique qui delerminent la quality du statut de la femme au dix-septieme siecle. Les observations evoquees par Madame de Lafayette nous aident a preciser les influences, les transformations, les conflits et surtout les contradictions et les paradoxes qui parcourent la vie de la femme noble pendant l'age classique. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Engineering characteristics of soils of Fayette and Union Counties, Indiana, pertinent to residential housing

Rajanna, B. C. January 1962 (has links)
There is a need to obtain and make available preliminary subsurface investigation data applicable for light commercial and residential structures. Foremost among problems that this would alleviate are flooding, foundation failures due to adverse soil conditions, and improper location of absorption field disposal systems. This study investigates the feasibility of obtaining such preliminary soils data from available reports and maps and rates the suitability of soils in Fayette and Union counties, Indiana, for residential housing on the basis of published soil survey reports and maps and field laboratory study. The greater portion of' Fayette and Union counties is covered with glacial deposits, thinly capped with loess, mostly modified by weathering. Bedrock of the Ordovician system underlies soil mantle throughout the two counties, except in a small area west of Fayette County. Most of the soils fall into the great soil group “Gray Brown Podzolio soils". With a few exceptions, all the soils are fine-grained and contain a high percentage of silt. None of the soils are of a high-swelling type. The soils are grouped by terrain reconnaissance procedures and topography, and these groups or units are discussed in detail with reference to the problems of residential housing. Thie study reveals, neglecting frost action, that nearly 70 percent of Faye.tte and Union counties is suitable for residential housing. The ratings given may best be used primarily in planning more detailed investigations of soil nature and characteristics at the proposed housing project area. / Master of Science

Mythic aspects of the feminine in Madame de la Fayette's La Princesse de Clèves

Caulfield-Malkin, Bonnie K. January 1987 (has links)
Madame de La Fayette's La Princesse de Clèves was written between 1671 and 1677 at a time in French history when women's rights were beginning to find a voice in the "salons" of a few prominent female members of the leisure class. Although an immediate success with the reading public of seventeenth-century France, Madame de La Fayette's novel attracted a great deal of critical attention of the type that did not convince her to cast off her anonymity and come forth as the rightful author. As a roman d'analyse, La Princesse de Clèves stepped out of the conventions of vraisemblance and bienséance (plausibility and propriety) by the manner in which it followed the rites of passage of a young girl from maidenhood to self-evolved womanhood through the use of the medium of human relationships. In taking the idea of a psychological study one step further, into the realm of mythology, the reader is able to gain greater insight into the motivational forces at work within the principal character's psyche. Madame de Clèves' mythical journey towards a greater sense of self-awareness is activated by a deep-seated need, found in varying degrees in both women and men but in general more predominantly in women, to establish and maintain positive, creative relationships with others. This need goes back to the essential and eternal bonding between mother and daughter and the more tenuous bonding between mother and son. Placed within a mythological framework, the princesse's fictional development can be described through the intermediary motif of the quest. The princesse, unconsciously at first, sets out on a search for Self - a search for the centre of undistorted recognition of one's essence. She is stirred to action by feelings of dissatisfaction, loss and incompleteness arising from deep within her being. The initial phase of the journey entails a pulling away from the intense Mother bonding (without totally separating from it) by means of initiation through the "masculine" (her platonic lover Nemours). She is then able to accept and appreciate the parts of her inner nature she had been taught to avoid as a young girl (passion, moodiness, rage) and begin the difficult task of redeeming the Feminine within, in both her beauty and her destructiveness. During the process of looking at her own life, her own immediate past, the princesse finds herself drawn to the myths of a more distant past as well. She comes in touch with her mythical beginnings, with the unconscious dreams of an ancient people who, unlike their successors, were more at peace with their connection to life's mysterious truths personified by the oldest revered divinity: the ancient Great Goddess, "Union of all things related one to another." The result for Madame de La Fayette's heroine is a self-realized existence far from the culturally dictated role that society had allotted for her. In her moving away from the French court to the world of wholeness and integrity of country home and convent, the princesse is able to taste the fruits of freedom. She is able to become filled with the "goddess energy" of all aspects of her life and join past and future in her personal quest to bring inner healing to herself and to others. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

When Ye Are Assembled Together: Congregational Patterns and Worship Practices of the Early Latter-day Saints 1829-1846

Johnson, Matthew 01 July 2013 (has links) (PDF)
The worship experience in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is inextricably linked to the ward or branch. This thesis examines the development of the Latter-day Saint congregation at the church centers from 1829 to 1846: Palmyra and Fayette, New York; Harmony, Pennsylvania; Kirtland, Ohio; Independence, Liberty and Far West in Missouri; and Nauvoo, Illinois. This work not only documents the creation and development of congregations, but also gives attention to the other important elements developed during the early years that are still associated with modern Latter-day Saint wards: meeting and worship patterns, physical locations where meetings took place, and leadership of local branches and wards. More on parameters and purpose is spelled out in Chapter 1.Each of the next three chapters deals with a time period and place, tracking all four of the elements of emphasis through an era. Chapter 2 briefly discusses meetings and groups before the official organization of the Church, and then continues on to consider the developments made in the three areas considered as Church centers: Fayette and Palmyra in New York and Harmony, Pennsylvania. The bulk of Chapter 2, however, deals with Kirtland, Ohio, which was headquarters for the Church for much of the 1830s.The three counties in Missouri that held the highest concentration of Saints-Jackson, Clay and Caldwell-are the area of study for Chapter 3. Eventually driven not only from all of these counties but also the state of Missouri, the Saints moved on to Illinois, the subject of Chapter 4. Quincy, Illinois was briefly considered the Church center until the purchase of the land that became Nauvoo. The final chapter synthesizes each of the four topics: congregational organization, meeting patterns, local leadership, and meeting places. Consequently, it is a brief overview of what advancements were made across all years and places studied in each area of focus.
