Le but de ce travail est celui de mettre en évidence le processus d’affirmation identitaire et de l’altérité dans l’espace mythique du Grand Nord québécois, dans trois romans contemporains francophones : Ashini (1960), d’Yves Thériault ; Frontières ou Tableaux d’Amérique (1995) de Noël Audet et Mistouk (2002) de Gérard Bouchard. Le présent mémoire se propose d’analyser trois types de construction identitaire, trois regards de l’autre et trois manières de représenter l’ espace mythique du Grand Nord, selon l’époque, le lieu et le point de vue de chaque roman. Selon l’année de publication de chaque oeuvre littéraire, nous analysons l’altérité radicale, l’altérité par le biais des frontières et l’altérité dialogique. Nous proposons aussi d’analyser comment le roman Mistouk, assimile et incorpore les oeuvres précédentes et, en même temps, comment il participe de manière positive dans le processus de révision des concepts en question. Le travail met également en évidence deux figures mythiques du Grand Nord, le coureur des bois et le pionnier, qui seront représentés chez Gérard Bouchard. Dans le but de déchiffrer le Grand Nord québécois, qui est encore aujourd’hui couvert de mystère, la recherche s’est appuyée sur de textes théoriques de différents domaines comme Géographie, Histoire, Sociologie, et sur les ouvrages fictionnels qui intègrent le corpus du travail. Cela nous permettra d’apercevoir comment le discours du Nord et sur le Nord converge vers les paradigmes et les problématiques qui lui sont propres. C’est dans cet espace inhospitalier qui se construit et se déconstruit un riche imaginaire soutenu par les récits mythiques et fictionnels. / Este trabalho tem o escopo de evidenciar o processo de afirmação identitária e de alteridade no espaço mítico do Grand Nord quebequense, em três romances contemporâneos francófonos: Ashini (1960), de Yves Thériault; Frontières ou Tableaux d´Amérique (1995), de Noël Audet e Mistouk (2002), de Gérard Bouchard. Nesses três romances, que têm o espaço mítico do Grand Nord como cenário, optou-se por investigar questões relacionadas à identidade e à alteridade, foco central do estudo. Pretendemos analisar três modos de construção identitárias, três visões do Outro e três maneiras de representar o espaço mítico do Grand Nord, segundo a época, o lugar e o ponto de vista de cada romance. Conforme o ano de publicação de cada obra literária, analisaremos como a alteridade radical, a alteridade pelo viés das fronteiras e a alteridade uma via para o dialogismo, são apresentados nos romances. Propomos também analisar de que forma o romance Mistouk, assimila e incorpora as obras anteriores e, ao mesmo tempo, contribui de maneira positiva para revisar os conceitos em questão. Entrementes, serão evidenciadas duas figuras míticoshistóricas do Grand Nord, o coureur des bois e o pionnier, que serão reveladas no romance de Bouchard.Com o objetivo de decifrar o Grand Nord quebequense, que é envolto em mistério, a pesquisa fundamentou-se em textos teóricos e ensaísticos de diversas especialidades como a Geografia, História, Sociologia, além das obras ficcionais que constituem o corpus do trabalho. Dessa forma, poderemos perceber que o discurso do Norte e sobre o Norte converge para os paradigmas e as problemáticas que lhes são próprias. Pois é nesse espaço inóspito que se engendra um rico imaginário sustentado pelas narrativas e pelos mitos.

Em 2010 foi concluído Mestrado junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Música da UNICAMP, cujo tema principal foram as reflexões de Gérard Grisey acerca do tempo musical, apresentadas segundos as ideias e conceitos registrados pelo próprio compositor em seus escritos. Após a imersão no seu pensamento composicional viu-se necessário verificar como ele traduziu em música tais estruturas. Assim, o objetivo principal do presente trabalho é averiguar como o compositor construiu suas estruturas musicais, procurando as ressonâncias com sua produção teórica. Para isso foram escolhidas três peças de distintas fases composicionais de Grisey: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Outro objetivo foi encontrar elementos do processo criativo do compositor que tivessem sido influenciados por teorias vigentes na década de 1970, especialmente a Teoria da Informação. A metodologia consistiu no estudo de bibliografia especializada, e na quantificação e análise dos principais elementos estruturais das peças escolhidas. Como resultados podem-se destacar: 1) elaboração de ferramenta de análise segundo taxa de entropia e informação; 2) identificação das estruturas fundamentais das três peças analisadas; 3) composição de peças originais a partir do estudo conceitual. Após o estudo detalhado das três peças verificou-se que as mesmas técnicas de manipulação dos materiais são preservadas ao decorrer da obra do compositor. A novidade se restringe especialmente à maneira como ele organizou formalmente os processos de transformação, atitude motivada pela necessidade de introduzir maior imprevisibilidade em sua música / Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research conducted since 2008. In 2010 was completed a Master Degree at UNICAMP, whose main theme was Gérard Grisey's reflections on musical time, presented according to ideas and concepts by the composer himself in his writings. After immersion in his compositional thinking it became necessary to check how he translated into music such structures. Thus, the main objective of this work is to investigate how the composer has built his musical structures, looking for resonances with his theoretical production. For this three pieces from Grisey¿s distinct compositional phases were chosen: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Another objective was to find elements of the composer¿s creative process that had been influenced by prevailing theories in the 1970s, especially information theory. The methodology consisted in the study of relevant literature, and, quantification and analysis of the major structural elements of the chosen pieces. The results that can be highlighted are: 1) the development of an analysis tool by rate of entropy and information, 2) identification of the fundamental structures of the three pieces analyzed, 3) composition of original pieces based on the conceptual study. After the detailed study of the three parts it was found that the same techniques for handling the materials were preserved throughout the work of the composer. The novelty is restricted especially the way he formally organized the processes of transformation, attitude motivated by the need to introduce greater unpredictability in their music / Doutorado / Processos Criativos / Doutor em Música

Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – is to understand life brokenly. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the narrative of life. It records the full cycle of the nerve and aplomb of youth, of the doubt and crisis of midlife, of the acceptance and quiescience of maturity. Moreover, this understanding is a broken understanding. It starts with the clay tablets that are broken in a literal sense of the word. Further, the narrative is a narrative of broken-ness – the story ends in tears. A man has lost his last chance of obtaining life everlasting. Yet he manages to recuperate despite his failure. The first part of this thesis examined the world of Gilgamesh. Initially he was known as the Sumerian king Bilgames. He makes his appearance in the form of oral compositions that are recited or sung in the royal courts of kings during the Sumerian period: sheer entertainment, nothing really serious. At his side is his loyal servant Enkidu who supports his master in everything he does. Akkadian gradually ousts Sumerian as vernacular, yet the latter continues to dominate as the language of culture and court. Bilgames survives the reign of the Sargonic dynasty, and even revives during the glorious Ur III period of Shulgi and of Ur-Nammu. Sumerian Bilgames-poems are recorded in writing. However, by the time that Hammurapi draws up his legal codex, the Sumerian Bilgames is known as the vibrant Akkadian king Gilgamesh. His servant Enkidu is elevated to the status of friend. Together they defy men, gods, monsters. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh goes even further in search of life everlasting. He reaches Uta-napishtim the Distant in order to learn the secret of eternal life. The optimism of the Old Babylonian Kingdom is replaced by the reflection and introspection of the Middle period. Life is difficult. Life is complex. The Gilgamesh Epic is once again re-interpreted and supplemented by a prologue and an epilogue: both begin and end at the same place, at the walls of Uruk. Here Gilgamesh looks back and forward to his life and contemplates about the meaning of life in general. The second part of this thesis dealt more specifically with the story – the literary aspects of the Epic. Genette’s theory illuminated several interesting literary devices with regards to the rhythm and pace of the narrative. However, much of the reflective nature of the Epic was also revealed. There were moments of looking forward, and looking backward: after Gilgamesh broke down in tears at the end of the Epic, he suddely gained perspective on life. Somehow a broken narrative focused into a meaningful whole that may just make future sense. Jauss’s theory illuminated why Gilgamesh refuses to be forgotten, why he is once again alive and well in the twenty first century. Although he was buried in the ruins of Nineveh for a thousand plus years, he is suddenly back on the scene – and not for academic reasons only. Not only scholars of the Ancient Near East take an interest in the old Epic, but also people from all sectors of life. Somehow Gilgamesh seems to respond to questions that are asked even by those who understand nuclear physics – but who grapple with the paradox of living meaningfully. Understanding Gilgamesh – brokenly – understands life. / Thesis (DLitt)--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Ancient Languages / unrestricted

Gérard Garouste est reconnu en tant qu’artiste peintre et sculpteur français contemporain et fondateur de l’association humanitaire La Source. Notre mémoire cherche à dévoiler la place du discours personnel dans son interprétation des mythes. Nous présentons l’exposition de mars-avril 2018, Zeugma le Grand oeuvre drolatique, afin de mettre en lumière l’évidente relation entre l’homme et l’artiste pour redéfinir dans ses oeuvres le lien étroit entre son art, sa maladie et son histoire. Le regard que nous portons sur l’exposition s’appuie sur la question du mythe, et précisément sa fonction dans le développement de l’être humain, afin d’en comprendre l’application dans le mythe garoustien. Pour ce faire, nous prenons comme appui le processus de mythification de Gérard Bouchard fin d’analyser les enjeux sous-jacents à la création d’un mythe dans le cadre de notre corpus. Nous présentons les trois oeuvres majeures de l’exposition afin d’en étudier la composition structurale et démontrer leur complémentarité. Aussi, à l’aide du concept de la mémoire collective et de son autobiographie, nous analysons la manière dont le corpus relève d’une recherche identitaire individuelle dont témoigne l’exposition. / Gérard Garouste is recognized as a contemporary French painter, sculptor, and the founder of the humanitarian association La Source. Our brief seeks to reveal the place of personal discourse in its interpretation of myths. We present the exhibition of March-April 2018, Zeugma the Great Drolatic Work, in order to highlight the obvious relationship between man and artist to redefine in his works the close link between his art, his illness, and his history. Our view of the exhibition is based on the question of myth, and precisely its function in human development, in order to understand its application in the Garoustian myth. To do this, we take as support the process of mythification of Gérard Bouchard in order to analyze the issues underlying the creation of a myth within the framework of our corpus. We introduce the three major works of the exhibition in order to study their structural composition and demonstrate their complementarity. In addition, using the concept of collective memory and its autobiography, we analyze the way in which the corpus arises from an individual search for identity as evidenced by the exhibition.

Ce mémoire est centré sur les caractéristiques fantastiques dans le Spectre large de Gérard Prévot (1975) et par la suite, sur une comparaison avec les caractéristiques d’un autre recueil de Prévot, la Nuit du Nord (1974), étudié par Ricci en 1993. Notre analyse est basée sur la théorie du fantastique de Tzvetan Todorov qui met en avant l’hésitation à savoir si le phénomène énigmatique provient de l’étrange ou du merveilleux.         L’étude de l’œuvre littéraire de Prévot est intéressante car, comparé aux autres fantastiqueurs belges comme Jean Ray ou Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot reste relativement inconnu et peu étudié.         Pour ce qui est du résultat, nous trouvons que les contes du recueil ont des qualités variées relativement à la théorie fantastique. Les principales caractéristiques fantastiques du Spectre large naissent surtout grâce à une narration à point de vue limité et au narrateur obscur, parfois inconnu. Le fantastique naît aussi grâce à l’intrigue qui fait venir la force perturbatrice, souvent à la toute dernière page.         En comparant nos résultats avec l’étude de Ricci (1993), nous trouvons plusieurs points en commun mais aussi de divergence. Prévot a écrit les deux livres en utilisant un lexique similaire et les contes se déroulent souvent dans des lieux similaires, dans le Nord — un lieu ayant des connotations mystiques. Un fantastique dit « social » se trouve aussi dans les deux recueils. La principale différence entre les deux livres est la narration. Tandis que le narrateur de la Nuit du Nord possède un savoir absolu qui lui donne le statut omniscient, il est clairement limité dans son point de vue et parfois anonyme dans le Spectre large. / This thesis is centred on the fantastic features in Le Spectre Large by Gérard Prévot (1975) and subsequently on a comparison with the features from another collection by Prévot, La Nuit du Nord (1974), studied by Ricci in 1993. The analysis is based on Tzvetan Todorov’s theory of the fantastic, which puts its emphasis on the hesitation whether the enigmatic phenomena has its origins in the natural (uncanny) or the supernatural (marvellous) world.         The research of Prévot’s literary work is interesting given that, compared to other Belgian fantastic writers such as Jean Ray or Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot is still rather unknown and not much studied.         With regard to the results, it is found that the stories have a mixed qualities in relation to fantastic theory. In the better tales, the fantastic is born out of a narration with a limited point of view and a vague and sometimes unknown narrator. It is also born out of the plot which introduces the disruptive elements at the very last page.         When comparing the corpus with Ricci’s study (1993), several common features are found, but also a few differences. Prévot has written the two books using a similar vocabulary and the stories often take place in related environments – the North, a place with mysterious connotations. A fantastic which Ricci calls “social” can also be found in both collections. The main point of difference between the books is the narration. While the narrator in La Nuit du Nord has an omniscient status, the one in Le Spectre Large is clearly limited and anonymous.

Il s’agit d’une thèse sur le traité De duobus communissimis principiis scientiarum de Gérard Odon (vers 1320). Dans la première partie, nous faisons l’analyse du texte en nous centrant sur la notion d’« ens tertio adiacens ». Il s’agit de l’étant signifié par la totalité de la proposition et son vérifacteur ; il est univoquement comment à l’ens reale et à l’ens rationis et pour cette raison Odon l’identifie au sujet des principes de non-contradiction et du tiers exclu. L’ens tertio adiacens correspond aussi au premier objet adéquat de l’intellect et au sujet de la logique, entendue comme la science première. Dans la deuxième partie, nous plaçons Odon dans deux débats historiographiques : celui du réalisme propositionnel (à côté de Walter Burley, Grégoire de Rimini et Jean Wyclif) et celui des avancements de la doctrine des surtranscendantaux (à côté de Nicolas Bonet, François de la Marche et d’autres), lequel émerge de la distinction des deux sens de « res » chez Henri de Gand et ensuite chez Duns Scot. / This thesis deals with Geraldus Odonis’ treatise De duobos communissimis principiis scientiarum (ca. 1320). In the first part, we analyze the text by focusing on the concept of "ens tertio adiacens". It is the being signified by the totality of the proposition and its truthmaker; it is univocally common to ens reale and ens rationis, for this reason Odonis identifies it to the subject of the principle of non-contradiction and the principle of excluded middle. The ens tertio adiacens also corresponds to the first adequate object of the intellect and to the subject of logic, which is understood as the first science. In the second part, we place Odonis in two historiographical debates: the propositional realism (alongside Walter Burley, Gregory of Rimini and John Wyclif) and the advancements of the doctrine of supertranscendentals (alongside Nicolas Bonetus, Francis of Marchia and others), which emerges from the distinction between the two senses of "res" in Henry of Ghent and in Duns Scotus .

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise intertextual do romance The Solid Mandala, do escritor australiano, ganhador do prêmio Nobel, Patrick White, publicado em 1966, como parte de um esforço para estimular estudos sobre sua obra no Brasil e para investigar por que sua fortuna crítica tem passado por uma fase negativa recentemente. Primeiro, mostramos brevemente sua biografia e as condições relacionadas à produção e publicação de The Solid Mandala. Em seguida, apresentamos o contexto histórico do romance. As relações de conflito e complementação envolvendo os irmãos gêmeos Waldo e Arthur Brown na narrativa são analisadas, com destaque para a relação deles com a literatura (um tema importante no romance), retratando o papel das personagens como leitores e escritores na história, apreendendo, assim, seus sentimentos, suas visões de mundo e filosofia de vida (Waldo aspira à uma carreira de escritor e Arthur de fato compõe um poema). Os estudos de Gérard Genette sobre Narratologia são utilizados para embasar a análise, particularmente na relação intertextual entre The Solid Mandala e The Brothers Karamazov, do escritor F. Dostoyevsky, que é o título que chama a atenção de Arthur. Na busca pelo todo de sua vida, Arthur incorpora vários elementos (centrados em um único ponto, suas mandalas) e consegue criar sua própria filosofia. No final vemos que Arthur transcende sua realidade ao usar a leitura do romance russo como um instrumento. Esse estudo destaca a pertinência de revisitar a obra de Patrick White (uma vez que ela prova estar em sintonia com as questões filosóficas sendo discutidas atualmente) e coloca The Solid Mandala no contexto da literatura mundial. / This work performs an intertextual analysis of the Nobel Prize winning Australian novelist Patrick White’s The Solid Mandala, published in 1966, as part of an effort to boost studies of his novels in Brazil and to investigate why his critical fortune has been undergoing a negative phase recently. First, we briefly present his biography and the conditions surrounding the writing and publication of The Solid Mandala. Later on, we present the historical context of the novel. The relations of conflict and complementation involving the twin brothers Waldo and Arthur Brown in the narrative are analysed, but we focus on their relation to literature (which is an important theme in the novel), depicting their roles as readers and writers in the story, thus, apprehending their feelings towards each other, worldviews and outlook on life (Waldo aspires to become a great writer, and Arthur actually produces a poem). Gérard Genette’s studies on Narratology are used to support our analysis, particularly in the intertextual relation between The Solid Mandala and F. Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, which is the title that calls Arthur’s attention. In his pursue to find the whole of his life, Arthur incorporates various elements (centred at just one point, his mandalas) and is able to create his own philosophy. At the end we see that Arthur transcends his reality by using the reading of the Russian novel as an instrument. This study enlightens the pertinence of revisiting Patrick White’s oeuvre (since it proves to be so well tuned in to the current philosophical issues being discussed), and places The Solid Mandala in the context of worldwide literature.
