Cette étude présente un relevé et une analyse systématique des passages de la littérature rabbinique (Mishna – Tosefta – Talmud de Jérusalem – Talmud de Babylone – Midrashim) se rapportant à Jésus ou susceptibles de s'y rapporter. Les documents sont examinés, critiqués et confrontés à d'autres sources d'origine juive ou chrétienne (littérature judéo-hellénistique, apocryphes juifs, sources rabbiniques, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – Nouveau Testament, Pères apostoliques, Père de l'église). L'enquête tente de répondre à plusieurs questions : - Quelle connaissance les rabbins avaient-ils exactement de Jésus ? - Quelle est la valeur historique de ces informations ? - Leur perception du personnage a-t-elle connu une évolution ? - Les scribes du Talmud consultaient-ils le texte écrit des évangiles ? La conclusion de cette thèse est que tous ces documents sont enracinés dans leur Sitz im leben. Ils attestent sans ambages – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – que les rabbins n'avaient pas une connaissance directe des évangiles en tant que documents écrits. Cette étude montre également, concernant le Talmud de Babylone, que tous les passages se rapportant à Jésus appartiennent à la dernière couche éditoriale de ce corpus (VIIe-VIIIe siècle). / This study presents a survey and a systematic analysis of the passages of Talmudic literature (Mishna – Tosefta – Palestinian Talmud – Babylonian Talmud – Midrashim), relative to Jesus or are supposed to be. The documents are examined, criticized and confronted to other sources of Jewish or Christian origin (Hellenistic Jewish literature, Jewish Apocrypha, rabbinic sources, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers). The investigation tries to answer to several questions: - What did the rabbis exactly know about Jesus? - Has their information any historical value? - Has their perception undergone some evolution? - Did the rabbis of the Talmud have access to the Gospels as a written source? The conclusion of this thesis is that all these documents are rooted in their Sitz im leben. They obviously attest – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – that the rabbis had no direct acquaintance with the Gospels as written documents. This study also shows, concerning the Babylonian Talmud, that all the passages relative to Jesus belong to the last editorial layer of this corpus (VIIe-VIIIe century).

À partir des autoportraits photographiques de Vivian Maier (1926-2009) et Francesca Woodman (1958-1981), la thèse de ce texte est que la figuration féminine nous transmet un art de disparaître. Si l’on établit que cet art serait présent de manière plus ou moins active dans l’ensemble de l’iconographie du féminin, on montre que c’est un contexte particulier qui en révèle l’existence : celui de l’émancipation des femmes depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, de l’invention de la photographie au XIXe siècle et du bouleversement écologique contemporain. En effet, on constate chez Vivian Maier et Francesca Woodman, et plus largement dans l’autoportrait photographique féminin, une écologie poétique déterminée et engendrée par la technique photographique et les mutations modernes dans la vie des femmes, où se rencontrent désormais le destin de la figuration féminine dans l’histoire de l’art et le destin possible de notre espèce. Cette thèse propose de tirer de ces autoportraits un nouveau modèle pour habiter le monde en ce moment de transition historique à l’égard du genre et de la nature. / Drawing from the photographic self-portraits of Vivian Maier (1926-2009) and Francesca Woodman (1958-1981), this thesis argues that feminine figuration conveys an art of disappearing. Establishing that this art is, to a certain extent, at work across the iconography of the feminine, we are showing that it was brought to light within a specific context: the emancipation of women since the end of the 18th century, the invention of photography in the 19th century and the contemporary ecological crisis. Indeed, a poetic ecology emerges through the works of Vivian Maier and Francesca Woodman in particular, and the feminine photographic self-portrait as a whole, determined by the photographic technique and modern changes in women’s lives, where the destiny of feminine figuration in art history converges with the possible destiny of our species. From these self-portraits, this thesis offers to draw a new way of inhabiting the world in this historic moment of transition with regard to gender and nature.

This dissertation argues that in the heyday of radio, religious-radio preachers sought to use their programs to counter the secularization of American culture. Ultimately, however, their programs contributed to secularization by accelerating changes already evident in both the conservative and liberal streams of American Christianity. To reach a vast American audience, radio preachers transformed their sectarian messages into a religion more suitable to the masses, thereby altering the very religion it aimed to preserve. This was one of the unintended consequences of American religious radio. Chapter 2 argues that Harry Emerson Fosdick's ministry contributed to a movement away from Protestant orthodoxy. Radio played an important role in Fosdick's successful effort to blaze a new theological trail for the modern era. Chapter 3 shows that Aimee Semple McPherson's experiential religion had an ecumenical appeal that reached areas across the world. As one of the most celebrated Christian figures of the early twentieth century, McPherson's ministry helped make the American church more accepting of important aspects of secularization. Chapter 4 argues that Walter Maier's ministry encouraged millions of people to believe in a simple orthodoxy. The message he broadcast eschewed Lutheran particulars for the bold proclamation of the basic convictions shared by Christian fundamentalists generally. Chapter 5 argues that Charles Fuller's ministry contributed to the transformation of American religion by defining it primarily in terms of evangelism. His success uncovered a particular mood in America: one tired of the militant fundamentalism of the early decades of the century but not ready to abandon the fundamentals of the faith for theological liberalism. Chapter 6 considers religious radio against the backdrop of the emergence of television as the dominant communication medium in America and draws out implications for religion in the modern age of the Internet. To make religion accessible to large and diverse audiences, radio preachers accommodated their messages in ways suited to the medium of radio. Although religious-radio preachers set forth to advance the influence of religion in American society, their choice to limit theological substance ironically promoted the secularization of the American church.

This thesis is based on several chapters, which, after introducing the basic information, go deeper into the topic and develop it further. In the introduction, I am interested in the genesis of terms used in the work. I analyze their different etymology and geographical use and understanding. Here is a section dealing with the background of rosicrucianism, which freely translates into prominent figures and central writings. The work concludes with introducing the orders and their current activities on the territory of the Czech Republic.
