Les représentations de cavaliers en Egypte ptolémaïque et impériale et l'influence des imageries étrangères / The representations of riders in Egypt at the Ptolemaic and Roman times and the influence of foreign iconography

Zaegel, Julie 27 September 2012 (has links)
Aux époques ptolémaïque et impériale, les représentations de cavaliers se multiplient et de nouveaux motifs apparaissent en Égypte. Des divinités du panthéonpharaonique peuvent être dotées d’un cheval et d’attributs militaires. Des dieux étrangers font leur apparition ainsi que des personnages cuirassés et armés dont lanature divine n’est pas avérée. Le présent travail constitue une première monographie sur l’ensemble de ces représentations. Le catalogue comporte cent quarante‐huit objets et présente une hétérogénéité importante, tant du point de vue des supports que des sites d’où proviennent les sources. Axée sur l’interdisciplinarité, la thèse repose sur deux approches, technique et iconographique. L’étude du mode de fabrication des figurines en terre cuite et les réflexions sur la question de la mise en série des objets constituent le premier champ de recherches. L’axe iconographique repose sur la comparaison systématique des motifs iconographiques avec les emblèmes visibles dans le reste du pourtour du bassin méditerranéen et traite de la signification des représentations. La confrontation des données a permis d’établir des hypothèses sur l’origine et la fonction des terres cuites et sur les raisons qui ont mené à la production des objets du corpus.Des critères de datation nouveaux ont été définis pour tenter de pallier les lacunes dues à l’absence de contexte de la majorité des sources du catalogue. Les travaux effectués dans les musées ont permis de publier des reproductions de qualité pour des objets qui pour certains n’avaient plus été observés depuis 1915. Ils ont également donné lieu à la découverte d’inédits. / During the Ptolemaic and Imperial times in Egypt we find increasing representations of horsemen, and new emblems start to appear. Divinities of the Pharaonic pantheon are sometimes endowed with a horse and military attributes. Foreign gods also begin to appear, as do cuirassed and armed characters, whose divinity is unproven. This study is a first attempt to produce a monograph encompassing all of these representations. The catalogue contains 148 objects and has a significant degree of heterogeneity, both with regard to the items themselves and to the sites from which they come from. With a strongly interdisciplinary approach, the thesis is based on two methods of investigation: the technical and the iconographic. The first area of researches comprises an examination of the method of manufacture of the terracotta figurines and some thoughts regarding the series production of the objects. The iconographic approach is based on a systematic comparison of the iconographic attributes with the emblems that can be seen around the rest of the Mediterranean, and considers the significance of these representations. By comparing data, it has been possible to make assumptions regarding the origin and purpose of the terracotta figurines, and the reasons which led to the production of the objects comprising the study. New dating criteria have been defined in an effort to bridge the gaps caused by the lack of context for the majority of sources listed in the catalogue. Work done in the museums has allowed the creation of high‐quality reproductions of the objects, some of which were last examined in 1915; it has also resulted in the discovery of previously unpublished material.

La cavalerie romaine des Sévères à Théodose / The Late Roman Cavalry (193-395 A.D.)

Méa, Corentin 04 June 2014 (has links)
Dans son ouvrage de référence L'Empire romain en mutation des Sévères à Constantin (192-337 p.C.), Jean-Michel Carrié évoque les changements intervenus dans les armées au cours du IIIe et du début du IVe siècles. Selon lui, “les tâches de patrouille aux frontières, la nécessité d'intervenir rapidement dans les secteurs menacés, a imposé une plus grande mobilité”. En échos à l'historiographie du XXe siècle, il n'hésite pas à parler pour l'année 378 p.C. d'une “armée largement reconvertie à l'arme équestre” au moment de la bataille d'Andrinople. L'idée d'une montée en puissance de l'arme de cavalerie au sein de l'armée romaine entre les règnes de Septime Sévère et de Théodose n'est pas nouvelle. Tous les auteurs abordant le sujet de l'évolution de l'armée romaine tardive mettent en exergue le renouveau de la cavalerie. Leur argumentaire repose essentiellement sur une source, la Notice des Dignités, et sur le fait que Gallien aurait créé un commandement de cavalerie vers 256 p.C. Il convient donc de reprendre tous les éléments du dossier et de s'interroger sur la réalité de cette “armée largement convertie à l'arme équestre”. Y a-t-il des changements structurels majeurs et un renouvellement de la hiérarchie ? Les missions attribuées, tant militaires que civiles, sont-elles vraiment différentes par rapport à celles du Haut-Empire ? Dans un premier temps, nous favorisons une approche chronologique des métamorphoses intervenues au sein de l'arme de cavalerie. Cette dernière est composée à l'orée du IIIe siècle de trois types d'unités héritées de l'armée du Principat : les alae, les cohortes equitatae et les equites legionis. La première partie s'intéresse à leur transformation -ci au cours des IIIe et IVe siècles. La deuxième partie se penche sur les innovations intervenues entre les règnes de Gallien et de Dioclétien. La troisième partie se concentre sur les mutations du IVe siècle de Constantin à Théodose. Dans un deuxième temps, il convient de revenir sur le quotidien des unités de cavalerie lorsqu'elles sont stationnées dans les camps ou les forts de l'Empire. La quatrième partie, traite ainsi, en deux volets, la vie en garnison. Dans un troisième et dernier temps, nous cherchons à déterminer les éventuels perfectionnements de l'arme de cavalerie. La cinquième partie est centrée sur le couple du cavalier et du cheval. Enfin, dans une sixième partie, il nous faut comprendre la nouvelle place occupée par la cavalerie au sein de l'armée romaine tardive en étudiant la physionomie du combat de cavalerie. / In his reference book L'Empire romain en mutation des Sévères à Constantin (192-337 p.C.), Jean-Michel Carrié evokes changes in the late Roman army. He notes that “tasks of border patrols and the need of quick intervention in threatened areas imposed a better mobility”. Echoing to twentieth-century historiography, he argues that the Roman army appears “largely converted to the cavalry” at the Battle of Adrianople (378 A.D.) Several historians have already written about the rise of the weapon of cavalry in the Roman army during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Theodosius. All of them agree to highlight the revival of cavalry when dealing with the evolution of the Late Roman army. Considering that Gallienus would have created a command of cavalry in 256 A.D., theirs works are mainly based upon the analysis of a fourth-century document called the Notitia Dignitatum. We endeavour to reopen the case in order to question the reality of an army supposedly “largely converted to the cavalry”. Were there such things as great structural changes and a renewal of the hierarchy? Would assigned missions, both military and civilian, be very different in the Late Empire than they were in the Early Empire?

By the Head of a Spirited Horse: A Biocultural Analysis of Horse-Depositions as Reflections of Horseman Identities in Early Britain (Iron Age to Early Medieval Period)

Cross, Pamela J. January 2018 (has links)
Horse-depositions were examined to explore the development of human-horse relationships in early Britain using a multidisciplinary approach (osteological, archaeological, historical and ethnographical) to interpret these relationships as part of Horseman identities in the Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods. Medieval Horseman-burials are an established phenomenon and considered an Anglo-Saxon import in Britain which expressed a general elite-warrior male status. However, Horseman-burials form an exclusive minority which suggest not a general warrior elite but specific subgroups and/or traditions potentially rooted in earlier practices. Husbandry, transportation-use and ritual practices were also investigated. Horses and horse-use were evaluated via stature and correlations with sex. The results indicated sexual dimorphism should be considered when interpreting horse stature. It is hypothesised that generally females were pastured breeding-stock while males were transportation-stock which received supplemental nutrition and care. Males were/are generally larger than females, and size disparity was probably heightened by such gendered horse-use practices. Overall, it appears females were 1.3m or less, and horses over 1.3m were males. Horse-depositional patterns in human, particularly funerary, spaces were analysed. Horse deposition often had ritual components and practices changed over time reflecting changing Horseman identities, particularly during the Roman period. Roman-British interactions, the destruction of native-elite chariot-warfare identities and the development of native-auxiliary groups refocused Horseman identities on mounted-warfare. This change from driver to rider, a more intimate relationship, appears reflected by the development of human-horse burials and Horseman identities linked to auxiliary-native cultural groups which incorporated Roman equites ideals with native-auxiliary and imported Eurasian Horseman traditions. / Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Financial support also came from the project partners, particularly author Bernard Cornwell, the Sutton Hoo Society. Additional financial support for equine osteological research was supplied by SYNTHESYS. / The appendices which accompany the thesis are not available online.

Le portrait équestre italien de la fin du Moyen Age au début de la Renaissance. / Italian equestrian portrait from the end of the medieval period to the beginning of the Renaissance

Fémelat, Armelle 18 September 2010 (has links)
Le portrait équestre se définit comme le portrait d’une personne figurée à cheval hors narration.La thèse propose d’identifier et de commenter les raisons, les moyens et les finalités des cent vingt-huit portraits équestres du corpus, réalisés par des artistes italiens entre 1229 et 1511. L’analyse de l’histoire et du concept du portrait équestre italien de la fin du Moyen Age au début de la Renaissance s’articule en deux grandes parties. La première partie présente et décrit les portraits du corpus, en fonction des objets qu’ils constituent et de leurs spécificités matérielles.La seconde partie traite de leur analyse iconographique. Ces effigies qui représentent des détenteurs du commandement militaire constituent un type spécifique de portrait officiel, qui se distingue par la présence fondatrice du cheval. Caractérisé par une forte empreinte martiale, entre le début du XIIIe et le début du XVIe siècle, le portrait équestre se trouve au coeur du choc des imaginaires politiques qui anime la Péninsule. Outil d’affirmation et d’authentification du pouvoir, ce type de portrait officiel est utilisé comme instrument de légitimation, voire de propagande. / Equestrian portraits are defined as the portrait of an individual shown on horseback without any context. The dissertation proposes to identify and comment on the reasons for methods of creation and uses of the 128 equestrian portraits in the corpus of such depictions created by Italian artists between 1229 and 1511. The history and concept of Italian equestrian portraits from the end of the Medieval period to the beginning of the Renaissance are analyzed in two major sections. The first presents and describes the portraits in the corpus on the basis of object type and their specific material characteristics. The second is an iconographic analysis. These effigies which represent military commanders constitute a specific type of official portrait, which is differentiated by the fundamental presence of the horse. Typified by a strong martial imprint,between the beginning of the 13th and the beginning of the 16th century, equestrian portraits are at the heart of the conflict among political imaginations that enlivened the Peninsula at that time. A tool for the affirmation and validation of power, equestrian portraits are used as an instrument of legitimation, even of propaganda.

傳統、改變、與僵局:渥雷‧索因卡《死亡與國王的侍衛長》劇中社會變革的勢在必行 / Tradition, change, and impasse: inevitability of social transformation in Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman

吳嘉玲, Wu, Chia Ling Unknown Date (has links)
本論文研究渥雷‧索因卡《死亡與國王的侍衛長》一劇,以及本劇對約魯巴(Yoruba)人孤注一擲抵制西化卻徒勞無功的境遇所做的關注。本劇改編真實歷史,重演一九四五年在奈及利亞奧約(Oyo)城發生的動亂。當時應舉行侍衛長(Horseman)自殺儀式,然而英國殖民者以武力中斷。本劇一方面解釋這個儀式在約魯巴社會的重要性,另一方面揭露侍衛長心不甘情不願了結生命,並斷言活人獻祭這類殘忍的傳統必然要革除,特別是在因英國殖民而致的動盪時刻。 / 論文分為四個章節,依據米哈依爾‧巴赫汀(Mikhail Bakhtin)的時空型(chronotope)理論,探究《死亡與國王的侍衛長》其社會歷史背景與戲劇表演手法。第一章介紹作者和劇本,並回顧評論,以及說明接下來討論的議題和理論架構。第二章分析文本與現實世界相互輝映的關係。艾瑞克‧霍布斯邦(Eric Hobsbawm)在〈發明傳統〉("Inventing Traditions")的見解用以闡明傳統是因時制宜的產物。比爾‧阿希克洛夫特(Bill Ashcroft)等三人提出的後殖民典型,有助於瞭解約魯巴人為了阻擋外來影響竭力奮戰,儘管殖民政府的干預相當強勢。第三章詮釋劇中人物的性格特徵,以弗朗茲‧法農(Frantz Fanon)告誡不可畫地自限的觀點為鑑。無法順應社會變異因此冥頑不靈的人,失去了看世界的洞察力。而那些猶豫不決者,為了遵從老一套的價值觀,受煎熬得筋疲力盡。第四章總結本文,認為本劇主張靈活性和果斷力以進行改變。 / This thesis studies Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman and its concerns for the Yoruba people's desperate but futile resistance to Westernization. Adapted from a real historical event, this play reenacts the disturbance in the Oyo city of Nigeria in 1945, when the ritual of the Horseman's suicide was interrupted by the British colonial force. While the play explains the importance of the ritual in the Yoruba society, it reveals the Horseman's reluctance to end his life and asserts that cruel tradition like human immolation must be reformed especially at the fluctuating moment caused by the British colonization. / Consisting of four chapters, this thesis relies on Mikhail Bakhtin's chronotope to explore the socio-historical context and theatrical representation of Death and the King's Horseman. Chapter one introduces the dramatist and the play, reviews critical opinions, and illustrates the purpose and theoretical framework of the following discussion. Chapter Two, which analyzes the interrelationship between textual and actual worlds, adopts Eric Hobsbawm's "Inventing Traditions" to clarify tradition as produced according to specific circumstances. The postcolonial models proposed by Ashcroft et al helps understand the Yoruba people's struggle for no foreign impact despite powerful intervention by the colonial government. Chapter Three interprets the roles' characterization with the aid of Frantz Fanon's warning of self-confinement. Unable to adjust to social variances, the obstinate people blind their vision of the world, while those procrastinating become dead exhausted by difficult conformity to old values. Chapter Four concludes that this play argues for resilience and resolution to make difference.
