Jean Donneau de Visé, « fripier du Parnasse ». Pratiques et stratégies d’un entrepreneur des lettres au XVIIe siècle / Jean Donneau de Visé, « fripier du Parnasse ». The practices and strategies of a literary entrepreneur in the seventeenth centurySchuwey, Christophe 07 July 2016 (has links)
L’histoire littéraire connaît Jean Donneau de Visé (1638-1710) pour trois raisons : il a fondé le Mercure galant, a pris part à des débats théâtraux autour de Molière et de Corneille et a collaboré avec Thomas Corneille. Pour le reste, les étiquettes de « polygraphe » ou de « journaliste » ont confiné sa production au purgatoire de la critique. Ce travail se propose de réétudier cette production afin de lui donner sens et de comprendre l’apparente étrangeté de ces ouvrages. Donneau de Visé serait ainsi un entrepreneur des lettres, toujours à l’affût de l’occasion, entreprenant différents projets éditoriaux et recyclant, en « fripier du Parnasse », des matériaux textuels disponibles. Centré sur la période allant de sa première incursion dans le monde des lettres (1660) à la mise en place d’une formule pérenne pour le Mercure galant (1678), ce travail aborde les ouvrages de Donneau de Visé comme autant d’entreprises. Il en déconstruit la mécanique, étudie les marchés qu’ils visent (notamment celui de l’actualité) et révèle les actions qu’ils réalisent. Les résultats doivent éclairer non seulement l’activité de l’entrepreneur des lettres, mais également, des pratiques paradigmatiques pour le livre et la librairie au XVIIe siècle. / Jean Donneau de Visé (1638-1710) is still known for three main achievements: he founded the Mercure galant, took part in theatrical quarrels about the plays of Molière and Corneille and collaborated with Thomas Corneille on some machine plays. Labeled a « polygraphe » or a « journalist » he has long been condemned to critical limbo. This research would like to provide a new outlook on Donneau de Visé. The purpose is to shed light on the wide variety of the production of Donneau de Visé and to explain the reasons behind the complex structure of his books. This dissertation aims to show that Donneau de Visé can be considered a literary entrepreneur, perpetually seeking business opportunities, undertaking massive editorial projects and recycling available materials (he was nicknamed « le fripier du Parnasse »). This work is dedicated to a period spanning from 1660 to 1678 (from his first publication to the creation of a lasting business model for the Mercure galant) and approaches Donneau de Visé’s books as business ventures. It deconstructs the mechanics of these works by studying them through the lense of book history, studies the target market (especially, current events) and reveals which actions the books aim to undertake. The results should shed light not only on Donneau de Visé’s activities as a literary entrepreneur, but also on some widespread practices in the seventeenth century.

“Was wird sich dein Gesang aus Satans Kindern machen?”Cantata BWV 210: "O holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit": A Response by Bach to a Changing Musical AestheticPauls, Charlene 09 August 2013 (has links)
As the Enlightenment took hold in Europe, all aspects of eighteenth-century society felt its effects. Musical tastes, caught in this ideological shift, began to move from the more codified complexity of counterpoint toward the more simplified aesthetic known as galant. Johann Sebastian Bach, now in the most mature phase of a musical career rooted in the contrapuntal style, came under growing public criticism from proponents of galant who were increasingly dismissive of counterpoint as an out-dated compositional method. In 1741, during this time of growing censure, Bach created the wedding cantata BWV 210, O holder Tag erwünschte Zeit, based on an earlier cantata but with significant changes that are unique within this oeuvre. Rather than the typical celebratory libretto characteristic of his other wedding cantatas, Bach mounted a strong rhetorical argument in defense of music, deftly combining irony, humour, and pointed barbs to make his point. The rationale for this has not received significant scholarly attention. This dissertation explores the idea that Bach used BWV 210 as a specific personal response to his critics who favoured the changing musical aesthetic of the era, and as a defense of a contrapuntal style cherished by him but no longer valued by many advocates of the galant.
This claim is supported through an aggregation of extant research linking the cantata to the circumstances in which it was created. Particular attention is given to the ideological conflict represented in the aesthetic shift of the eighteenth century, and Bach’s reactions evident in written documents, his compositions and in his unique synthesis of compositional styles intersecting the aesthetics of his era. The circumstances under which the cantata was written provide context for the significant libretto revisions undertaken to adapt the cantata from its closest known counterpart, BWV 210a. Finally, Johann Scheibe’s published criticism against Bach is explored as an important flashpoint for Bach’s use of BWV 210 as a musical rebuttal.
Not only is a better understanding of a lesser-known cantata achieved, but a glimpse into the mindset of Bach is also realized through the unusually personal response included in BWV 210.

Pattern and meaning in Francois Couperin's Pieces de ClavecinSnyder, Caitlin E., 1971- 06 1900 (has links)
xviii, 293 p. : ill., music. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / The synthetic, historically sensitive, analytic method of this dissertation illuminates relationships between pattern and meaning in François Couperin's Pièces de Clavecin --character pieces firmly rooted in traditions of literary portraiture. The method combines aspects of Schenkerian analysis, Gjerdingen's style-sensitive schema, Larson's theory of musical forces, and Lakoff and Johnson's cognitive metaphor theory. It suggests that manipulation of recognizable musical patterns--the manner with which patterns are realized or even withheld--and their narrative contexts may give rise to responses heard as metaphorically reflecting Couperin's evocative titles.
Two questions motivate this investigation: Why the virtual absence of François Couperin from modern theoretical discourse? How does musical meaning arise with Couperin's musical portraits? After describing my analytic method, I illustrate its application with several short examples. I then offer two in-depth case studies of different formal structures: an extended theme and variations and an independent binary piece.
My findings relate pattern to musical "vocabularies", to context and expressive meaning, and to the theory and practice of music analysis. The focus on pattern illuminates the interaction of vocabularies in Couperin's music--including those of the seventeenth-century French keyboard tradition, the emerging Italian galant style, and the increasingly tonal "high styles" of eighteenth-century church, chamber, and court music. It illustrates how patterns contribute to expression and affect--as well as how they interact with ideas, concepts, or images associated with Couperin's evocative titles. Pattern-based analyses demonstrate that different contexts can give the same pattern different meanings--supporting (rather than contradicting, as others have suggested) the argument that music can have meaning; instead of a single meaning, we encounter a plurality of possibilities. The synthetic analytic approach of this dissertation is ideal for Couperin's music in particular but also for the galant style in general. Moreover, the combination of methods itself illuminates the power and meaning of each individual contributing element. and exemplifies the advantages of (and flexibility inherent to) an analytic method consonant with Lakoff and Johnson's cognitive metaphor theory, suggesting the analytic potential of a synthetic approach for an even broader set of styles. / Committee in charge: Steven Larson, Co-Chairperson, Music;

Analýza sepolker Jiřího Ignáce Linka / The analysis of sepolcri by Jiří Ignác LinekTříletý, Petr January 2016 (has links)
The author of the thesis wants to examine the applicability of the concept of galant style as presented by Robert Gjerdingen in his treatise Music in the Galant Style (2007). As a musical material which he wants to analyze by using the mentioned concept he chooses three extant sepolcros by a schoolmaster from Bakov nad Jizerou Jiří Ignác Linek (1725-1791). Further, he deals with a thesis by Eva Tomandlová (1934- 2010) written in the late 1950's that had these sepolcros as its subject. Thus, at presenting Gjerdingen's approach and its specific possibilities, the author can make use of comparison with a method which can be considered an exemplar of the prevailing analytical tradition.

Le rapport entre la civilité et la violence chez Molière. Comment vivre ensemble? / The relation between civility and violence in Molière studies. How to live together?Katawan, Kanokwan 16 December 2015 (has links)
Comment vivre ensemble ? Molière nous divertit à la fois en peignant les mœurs de son temps et en donnant à réfléchir à cette question. La civilité est une de ses réponses. Elle fleurit au XVIIe siècle, où les « honnêtes gens » suivent les traités qui enseignent les bonnes manières et cherchent à plaire et à rendre la société mondaine plus raffinée. La civilité camoufle délibérément les différences entre les personnes et les rangs, et donne délicatement une place à tout le monde dans la société. Mais cette civilité est en même temps dénoncée comme une forme d’hypocrisie et comme un masque qui dissimule la violence. Peut-on mieux vivre ensemble en refusant d’adopter ce comportement civil ? En principe, la civilité doit servir à éviter le recours à la violence. Mais civilité et violence peuvent aussi se rejoindre, car la violence n’est pas forcément physique : elle peut prendre la forme d’agressions verbales ou morales, de moqueries et de discriminations. Notre objectif est donc avant tout de comprendre ce en quoi consistent civilité et violence par le truchement des personnages de Molière, puis d’analyser les rapports que la civilité entretient avec la violence, et enfin de découvrir la proposition de Molière pour mieux vivre ensemble en couple et en société. / How to live together? Molière entertains us by depicting the customs of his age and by giving pause to reflect on this issue. Civility is one of his answers. It bloomed in France during the 17th century when the "honnête homme" complied with the rules of guide books teaching good manners and strove to please and make the smart society more refined. Civility deliberately conceals the differences between people and ranks, and delicately includes everyone in society. Meanwhile civility is denounced as a form of hypocrisy and as a mask concealing violence. Could we live better together by rejecting this civil behavior? Civility ought to be used to avoiding violence. But civility and violence can overlap as well, as violence is not necessarily physical violence: it can also result in verbal and moral abuse, derision and discrimination. The aim of this dissertation is to first understand what civility and violence involve through the characters of Molière, then to analyze the relation between civility and violence, and eventually to find out Molière’s insights to better live together as couples and as a society.

Meaning in Small, Snyders and Pearce : an application of Lotman’s semiotics to ‘coloured’ literatureErnest, David Solomon Harold 17 October 2005 (has links)
In this study, a semiotic point of view of selected literature written by ‘coloured’ writers is examined, using some of the semiotic theories of Jurij M. Lotman, one of the leading Soviet semioticians of the school of Tartu. Selected theories of Lotman are applied to ‘coloured’ literature. These include an examination of poetic language (based on Lotman’s theory of a primary and secondary modelling system), the iconicity of the text, the aesthetics of identity and opposition, the distinction between text and extra-text, and the relationship that exists between the extra-text, culture and code. The literary texts chosen for analysis are works by three contemporary ‘coloured’ writers, namely Adam Small, Peter Snyders and Robert Pearce, who have all contributed poetry, prose and drama to Afrikaans literature in general, and original Afrikaans literature in particular. The selected dramas are Joanie Galant-hulle (Small 1978), Political Joke (Snyders 1983) and Die Laaste Supper in Marabastad (Pearce 1988b)*. These writers’ works span approximately three consecutive decades and their work can be examined for commonality and differences. The three chosen dramas were written five years apart respectively; yet they reveal thematic similarities. The dramas also feature a common ‘deviant’ language code used by ‘coloured’ people and discussed in this study as original Afrikaans. This code, which is juxtaposed with standard Afrikaans, is one of the basic areas of interest that motivated the choice of subject for this study. The primary objective of this study is to examine the differentiation that Lotman makes between the various sign systems that operate in natural language (the primary modelling system) and poetic language (a secondary modelling system), and to determine whether these sign systems can be detected and are functional in ‘coloured’ literature. In addition, an investigation is made of the iconicity that operates in poetic language (which, according to Lotman, is the basis for differentiation), and to ascertain whether iconicity occurs in these examples of ‘coloured’ literature and to what extent it influences meaning. In the process, intratextual relations within the poetic text were scrutinised to establish whether the manipulation of language, devices and codes raises any particular expectation in the poetic text, and also to detect whether oppositionally constituted code-systems which set up their own patterns of expectation within the syntactic and lexical levels of the poetic text clash with and contradict prior expectations. In addition, an analysis has been made to determine whether a new understanding of the texts can be reached, based on Lotman’s aesthetics of identity and opposition, and to what extent the reader is forced to collaborate in the modelling process of the texts when the reader’s expectations are undermined by an aesthetics of opposition. The study has successfully corroborated and substantiated all the selected aspects of Lotman’s theory. The differentiation that Lotman makes between the primary and secondary language model is demonstrated especially by the iconicity that operates in poetic language. Examples are abundant in the selected literature and are conspicuous, especially through the manipulation of the language, devices and codes employed by the authors to defamiliarise objects so that they transcend their familiar characteristics and perceptions, and sometimes signify a totally new concept. In this way, readers’ expectations are subverted and they are invited to collaborate in the modelling process of the texts. These techniques are also an integral part of both the text and the extra-text, and their presence justifies Lotman’s claims that the meaning of a literary text cannot be understood outside its cultural or historical context. In retrospect, it can be argued that this research has opened up some additional avenues for an analysis of meaning in ‘coloured’ literature. / Dissertation (MA (English))--University of Pretoria, 2004. / English / unrestricted

Virtuosa di Musica di Camera: A Performance Edition of Sonata in F Major, Op. 1, No. 2 by Anna Bon di VeneziaAlvarado Piña, Maria Gabriela 05 1900 (has links)
The flute music of Anna Bon di Venezia (1738–ca. 1767) belongs to the group of long-overlooked compositions by women composers throughout history worthy of rediscovery. This dissertation includes a discussion of Bon's life and music, as well as the artistic, historical, and theoretical significance of her compositions. It also presents biographical research on Bon, including Michaela Krucsay's dissertation, which provides new evidence of Bon's birth date, which had been uncertain up until 2015. Bon's Sonata in F Major for flute and basso continuo is analyzed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the work. A table is provided explaining specific ornaments and articulations added to the performance edition. In addition, this dissertation includes analyses of sonatas by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) and Johann Joachim Quantz (1697–1773) to contextualize Bon's sonatas within the standard flute repertoire. This dissertation expands the music scholarship on this distinguished composer and performer and provides a historically informed performance edition of the Sonata in F Major, op. 1, no. 2, for flute and piano, to serve as a model to modern flutists for historically informed performances of Bon's entire opus 1.
