A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, 1983. / Since his suicide in March 1945, Drieu la Rochelle has been accused of fascist, nazi, or ... communist tendencies. Furthermore, he has been considered until now in a purely political light. Most of the studies which have been devoted to him have dealt with the "political case" - his literacy work has been left in the dark. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]

Au XVIIIe siècle, La Rochelle vit au rythme de son grand commerce colonial, né à la confluence du marché canadien, de la droiture avec les Antilles et de la traite négrière. Au sein de la ville atlantique, se démarque dès lors une élite tenant le haut du pavé : les négociants. Moteur de la croissance et de l’emploi, à la tête des plus grandes fortunes et propriétaires des plus beaux hôtels particuliers, ils forment un milieu socioprofessionnel ouvert et disposent d’un esprit de corps autour duquel se cristallisent une conscience et une culture partagées. Regroupés derrière leur chambre de commerce et valorisés par l’honorabilité de leur profession, les négociants réussissent sans mal à se positionner comme des figures incontournables de la société rochelaise, ayant une influence certaine sur la vie de la cité et pesant de tout leur poids face aux élites traditionnelles d’Ancien Régime.Les constats issus d’une pesée historiographique et bibliographique sont toutefois sans appel : si les travaux jusqu’ici menés sont majoritairement restés inféodés à l’étude des rouages de l’économie rochelaise, force est de constater que nous n’avons aucune vision d’ensemble du milieu négociant. Il y a là un vide scientifique certain qu’il est nécessaire de combler. En usant de protocoles et de questionnements plus mosaïques, cette thèse a pour ambition d’être la première étude socioculturelle vouée aux grands entrepreneurs du commerce rochelais. A l’appui de plus de dix mille documents d’époque mis en articulation, surgissent 738 négociants qui, au XVIIIe siècle, constituent l’âme et le cœur de La Rochelle. / In the 18th century, the pace of life in La Rochelle was dictated by the rhythm of its great colonial commerce, at the confluence of the canadian market, the direct route to the Caribbean and the slave trade. Within this atlantic town, an elite soon reached the top of the ladder : the merchants. Prime movers for economic growth and employment, owners of the greatest fortunes and most beautiful mansions, they formed an open socio-professional class with a group spirit centred on a common consciousness and shared culture. United behind their chamber of commerce and esteemed as a result of their honourable profession, the merchants easily established themselves as indispensable figures of Rochelais society, exerting a considerable influence on city life and bringing pressure to bear against the traditional elites of the Ancien Régime.However, any historiographical and bibliographical study of the subject reveals an inescapable fact : to date, the work undertaken has largely concentrated on the workings of the local economy, and there is no global overview of the merchant world. This scientific void needs to be filled. By using more varied methods and forms of inquiry, this thesis aims to be the first socio-cultural study of the great trading entrepreneurs of La Rochelle. Drawing on more than ten thousand documents from the time, 738 merchants stand out, who, in the eighteenth century, constituted the body and soul of La Rochelle.

Three original chamber pieces are discussed from numerous points of view. They were composed for string quartet (Escape and String quartet in Four Movements), and string quartet with flute (Forward Motion). Each piece is analyzed in terms of its historical background, compositional techniques, and formal and stylistic techniques. Each piece draws influences from different genres. Escape was influenced by minimalism and jazz and is based on the Locrian scale. Forward Motion is in a modified classical form (Sonata) but draws influences from modern music and employs much dissonance. String quartet in Four Movements combines elements of expressionism, minimalism and jazz. Each piece is discussed in regards to its musical characteristics and historical influences including scales, harmony, rhythmic structure and form. / by Rochelle M.

Thesis advisor: Jean-Luc Solère / This dissertation examines the noetics of several early thirteenth-century Latin Augustinian thinkers, who first received Aristotle's noetic from the Arabs, examining in detail the early Latin reception of Aristotelian proposal that human thought is caused by the `agent intellect'. I argue that the early Latin-Augustinian reactions to the Arab noetics reveal an abiding Latin commitment to a concept of selfhood in natural thought. For different reasons, these early 13th century Latin thinkers explicitly locate the principle of natural thought within the individual's soul, thus conceiving the individual as the spontaneous origin of the activity of his or her thinking. I propose that there is a progressively more refined development of this concept within the interpretation of the Peripatetic noetic proposed within the early 13th century Franciscan school. I trace this development through John of La Rochelle to the anonymous author of the Summa Fratris Alexandri Book 2 to Bonaventure's early thought. At the same time, I analyze this Franciscan development relative to William of Auvergne's well-conceived opposition to all interpretations of the Aristotelian noetic. I make the case that William's critique sets the standard for the noetic of the individual to which these Franciscans adhere, even in their adoption of the Aristotelian noetic. I then argue that to adhere to William's standard, these Franciscans drew on Averroes' account of the agent intellect as found in Averroes' Commentarium Magnum in Aristotelis De Anima Libros. Finally, I argue that within the early 13th century's development of the noetic of the individual, there is an important, self-conscious development of the historico-philosophical concept of the Western self. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2012. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Située au coeur du golfe de Gascogne, La Rochelle fut dès sa naissance au début du XIIe siècle une communauté de pêcheurs. La ville s’affirme comme une cité marchande, devenant l’une des plus dynamiques de l’Ouest français. Son port de commerce se déplace sur un nouveau site en 1890, libérant le vieux port au centre-ville pour la pêche. De nombreux voiliers viennent déjà y vendre leur pêche sur un marché aux poissons attractif, que le chemin de fer relie à l’intérieur du pays en 1857. Une nouvelle page s’ouvre, celle du chalutage industriel qui fait une percée majeure en Grande-Bretagne. A La Rochelle, après l’échec d’une tentative de l’anglais Craggs d’y implanter le chalutage à vapeur en 1871, de grands armements à la pêche industrielle sont fondés de 1904 à 1920. Une première période d’essor de ces armements fait de la cité le deuxième port de pêche de France, le premier de l’Atlantique. Après le marasme des pêches françaises et la crise de la flottille de chalutiers à vapeur rochelais, un nouvel essor du port s’affirme après la Seconde guerre mondiale. La Rochelle redevient le quatrième port de pêche de France dans les années 1960. Mais l’année 1965 marque une rupture de la pêche industrielle rochelaise et un déclin s’ensuit qui conduit à la disparition des derniers grands chalutiers en 1994. De nombreux travaux menés jusqu’ici ont porté sur d’autres ports de pêche de France. Cette étude a l’ambition de contribuer à la connaissance de plus d’un siècle d’histoire de pêche industrielle du port de La Rochelle, de ses dimensions économiques, sociologiques, politiques et écologiques, dans le cadre d’une étude comparative, en analysant les caractéristiques et les raisons de cet essor et celles d’un déclin précoce et rapide. / Situated in the heart of the bay of Biscay, La Rochelle, right from its foundation, at the beginning of the XIIth century, was a community of fishermen. It then became one of the most dynamic cities in western France. In 1890 the commercial port moved to a new site, liberating the old port in the city centre for fishing activities. Many sailing ships came to sell their fish on an attractive fish market boosted by the railway connection to the inland part of the country in 1857. A new era started with industrial trawling, a major innovation in Great Britain. In 1871, the English shipowner Craggs tried to introduce steam-powered trawling but suffered a setback . However from 1904 to 1920 important armaments in industrial trawling were created, making La Rochelle, in this early period of expansion, the second fishing port in France and the first one on the Atlantic coast. After the stagnation of French fisheries and a crisis of Rochelais steam-powered trawlers, a new expansion of the port occured after WWII. In the sixties, La Rochelle became the 4th fishing port in France, until in 1965 a break in industrial fishing activities resulted in the loss of the last big trawlers in 1994. There have been numerous documents about other fishing ports in France. This study aims to concentrate on the history of industrial fishing in the port of La Rochelle over a century, highlighting its economic, sociological, political and ecological dimensions. For this purpose a comparative study has been made, analysing the characteristics and the reasons of this expansion as well as the ones of a rapid and premature decline.
