Le cadre spatial et temporel de l’étude est restreint : il s’agit de l’itinéraire suivi entrele Rhône et la plaine du Pô par l’armée carthaginoise sous les ordres d’Hannibal Barca aucours du second semestre de l’année 218 avant J.-C. L’événement auquel cet itinéraire serapporte fait très largement déborder le sujet du cadre énoncé ; le parcours de la traverséealpine, qui n’est pas précisément défini par les textes antiques, est perçu comme une desénigmes les plus attrayantes de l’Histoire ancienne. Les historiens modernes qui ont essayéde la résoudre en établissant des concordances entre la réalité géographique et les indicationsdu livre III des Histoires de Polybe (205 ? - 123) et du livre XXI de l’Histoire romaine deTite-Live (64 ? av. J.-C. - 17 après J.-C.) ont émis diverses hypothèses contradictoires parceque systématiquement basées sur une opposition entre les données polybiennes et les donnéesliviennes. Les objectifs de la thèse sont de définir le problème que pose cette énigme à partirdes différentes façons de la traiter depuis son apparition jusqu’à aujourd’hui, et d’en tenterune approche nouvelle, selon une démarche issue de la démarche scientifique classique, enémettant deux hypothèses qui laissent délibérément de côté les itinéraires basés sur uneremontée de la rive gauche du Rhône. L’étude détaillée des deux textes de référence révèleleur complémentarité et permet de percevoir l’origine de l’énigme. La reconnaissance d’unparcours le long de la Durance et à travers le Queyras débouche sur la découverte, au pied dela Crosennetta, dans la vallée du haut Pellice, d’un site unique qui confirme ces hypothèses. / When one examines the whole story, definite limits in time and space are set: in thecourse of the second half of the year 218 B.C., Hannibal Barca led the Carthaginian armyfrom the Rhone to the plain of the river Po. The event related to this itinerary shows that theabove indications are not that certain: the precise route followed to cross the Alps, which theantique texts do not describe in detail, is considered to be one of the most fascinatingenigmas of ancient History. Modern historians have tried to solve it by comparing thegeography of the area and the indications in “Histories”, Book III, of Polybe (205?-123) andin “Roman History”, Book XXI, of Livius (64? B.C.-17 A.D.). They have suggested severalcontradictory theories because these are systematically based on the differences betweenPolybien and Livien data. The aim of the thesis is to clearly state the problems arising fromthis enigma, because of the way it has been examined, from the very beginning right up tillnow, and to try a new approach: a suggestion (using classical scientific methods) whichtemporally abandons the idea of an itinerary on the left bank of the Rhone. The origin of thepuzzle is obvious after careful reading of the two texts referred to and which shows theircomplementary nature. A survey of the route that runs along the side of the river Duranceand crosses the Queyras region led to the discovery, at the foot of the Crosennetta Mountain,at the top of the Pellice valley, of a unique site which confirms these assumptions.

To this end, we focus on the character in two ways: the first relates to its construction. We studied the movements of the camera, the camera angles and focus of the camera. Some other elements of film language, such as noise and music were cited when they were very relevant to the composition of the character. The second deals with the dialogue, the science of relations , as formulated by Bakhtin. We seek thus to seize the moments when the characters become aware of their identity. The narrative procedures common to the corpus show the conception of the film world stands on the carnavalization. Through the images carnivalized, we are faced with a topsy-turvy world where the truths and identities are relative. / O objetivo desta dissertação é o estudo da personagem Hannibal Lecter nas narrativas fílmicas O Silêncio dos Inocentes, Hannibal e Dragão Vermelho. Para tanto, focalizamos a personagem sob dois aspectos: o primeiro se relaciona com sua construção. Estudamos os movimentos de câmera e os ângulos de focalização da câmera. Alguns outros elementos da linguagem fílmica, como os ruídos e a música, foram citados quando os mesmos eram muito relevantes para a composição da personagem. O segundo trata do dialogismo, da ciência das relações , conforme formulada por Bakhtin. Buscamos, assim, apreender os momentos em que as personagens tomam consciência de sua identidade. Os procedimentos narrativos comuns ao corpus evidenciam que a concepção de mundo dos filmes se sustenta sobre a carnavalização. Por meio das imagens carnavalizadas, estamos diante de um mundo às avessas, onde as verdades e as identidades são relativas.

Ce travail vise à préciser l’importance que Silius Italicus donne dans ses Punica au personnage d’Hannibal. Il repose sur une étude comparée entre le poème et les différents textes latins et grecs à notre disposition sur le chef carthaginois. Les intertextes avec les épopées antérieures sont aussi sollicités, car Silius s’en inspire pour créer un Hannibal épique, propre aux Punica.L’Hannibal de Silius se distingue d’abord par son portrait dans l’ensemble de l’épopée : le poète nuance voire efface les défauts que la tradition historiographique attribue au Carthaginois, tandis qu’il en souligne les qualités en recourant en particulier aux topoi épiques. Silius fait également du chef le porteur de motivations et d’enjeux multiples qui le présentent comme le personnage majeur des Punica.Hannibal joue par ailleurs un rôle décisif dans la révélation progressive de la grandeur de Rome. Il constitue un véritable faire-valoir pour les Romains et se révèle le premier témoin du renouveau de Rome : c’est par rapport à lui, mais aussi à travers ses prises de conscience, que le redressement romain s’exprime au cours du poème. Enfin, Silius grandit le personnage d’Hannibal en lui faisant mener bien plus que la deuxième guerre punique : le chef entreprend une guerre titanesque contre les dieux ; il appelle en outre à une continuation du conflit au-delà de l’épopée. Entre réhabilitation et revalorisation, la vision d’Hannibal dans les Punica témoigne donc d’une innovation certaine de la part de Silius Italicus au sein de la tradition ancienne sur le personnage : le Carthaginois, qui fut pourtant l’un des plus féroces ennemis de Rome, y devient véritablement un héros épique. / The aim of the author is to clarify the importance that Silius gives in his Punica to the character Hannibal. This work is based on a comparative study between the poem and the different latin and greek texts that we have about the Carthaginian chief. The intertexts with the former epics are also questioned, since Silius draws his inspiration from them to create an epic Hannibal, specific to the Punica.The Silius’ Hannibal can first be distinguished by his portrait in the whole epic : the poet nuances, indeed erases the defects that the historiographical tradition imputes to the Carthaginian, whereas he emphasizes his qualities, in particular by using epic topoi. Silius also portrays the chief as the one who stands for numerous motivations and stakes, which present him as the main character of the Punica.Moreover Hannibal plays a decisive part in the progressive revelation of Rome’s greatness. He serves as a real foil to the Romans and shows himself as the first witness of Rome’s renewal : the Roman recovery expresses itself, during the epic, in comparison to him, but also through his realization of it.Lastly, Silius increases Hannibal’s stature, by making him rule more than the second Punic war : the Carthaginian starts a titanic war against the gods ; he also calls for a continuation of the conflict, beyond the epic.Between rehabilitation and enhancement, the presentation of Hannibal in the Punica shows an undeniable innovation from Silius Italicus within the ancient tradition about the Carthaginian : Hannibal, who was yet one of Rome’s most fierce enemies, truly becomes an epic hero.

Master of Arts / Department of History / David R. Stone / This paper examines the influence of Hannibal of Carthage on the art of war over time. Hannibal’s war with Rome provides a complex example of strategic and tactical successes and failures that have been modeled and studied throughout military history in one fashion or another. The method of research was a literature review organized into chapters with relevant examples from ancient through modern history. The primary finding was that Hannibal’s examples have been interpreted according to the needs of each observer. There was no uniform conclusion of lessons drawn from Hannibal’s campaigns. Perceptions were drawn by each author based on time and particular circumstances. For instance, Machiavelli pillories Hannibal’s use of mercenaries as the antithesis of a virtuous society. Alfred von Schlieffen studied the tactical battle of Cannae and attempted to construct a strategic level plan for war in Europe based on lessons drawn from his study. Victor Hanson cites Hannibal’s war with Rome as a metaphor for the West’s current conflict with Islam, implying that the West will be ultimately victorious in this latest confrontation owing to the superiority of its institutions. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that Hannibal’s successes and failures are still relevant for study by historians and practitioners of the military arts even though there is no one set of definitive lessons learned.

It has generally been thought that Hannibal was a hostile individual and despised in Roman society because of his non-Roman status and his apparent tendency to be deceptive, cruel and savage. Yet, our understanding of Hannibal as a character is limited. This thesis attempts to address his characterisation through an examination of his night-time military exploits, and argue that our knowledge of Hannibal can be expanded upon by examining how Livy characterised Hannibal in his account of the Second Punic War. Furthermore, this thesis takes a fresh approach to Hannibal’s characterisation, considering Livy’s use of ‘the night’ in association with military activity, and revealing that Hannibal displayed traits that the Romans themselves valued. Thus, Hannibal’s character is developed through a nocturnal military setting, and he becomes comparable to Rome’s finest generals, including Fabius Maximus, Marcellus and Scipio Africanus. Similarly, it is also shown that he exhibited Roman military virtus in place of the traits traditionally thought to be synonymous with the non-Roman. By analysing the character of Hannibal in this manner, we reveal that in Roman thought he was an ambiguous character, whilst simultaneously highlighting how the Romans both perceived and used the night within the context of the army.

Out-of-autoclave manufacturing processes for composite materials are increasing in importance for aerospace and automotive industries. Vacuum Infusion processes are leading the push to move out of the autoclave. An understanding of the various process parameters associated with resin infusion is necessary to produce quality product. Variance in compaction, resin, and vacuum pressures are studied, concentrating on developing a compaction pressure profile as it relates to fiber volume fraction. The purpose of this research is twofold: (1) to show and quantify the existence of a resin pressure gradient in compression testing using rigid tooling, and (2) to use measured test data to validate and improve resin flow simulation models. One-dimensional compression tests revealed a pressure gradient across the diameter of the compression tool. The pressure gradient follows trends consistent with Darcy's Law. Compression tests revealed fabric hysteresis during compaction as shown in previous studies. Fiber compaction pressure was found to not be directly equal to compressive forces of the Instron when resin is present in the system. The relationship between Instron, resin and compaction pressures is defined. The compression study was used to validate previously developed flow simulation models. Resin pressures are critical to developing an accurate two-dimensional radial flow simulation for low permeability fabrics. It is feasible to determine final fiber volume fraction at a given compaction pressure.
