271	Xenotopia: Death and Displacement in the Landscape of Nineteenth-Century American Authorship Lewis, Darcy Hudelson 12 1900 (has links) This dissertation is an examination of the interiority of American authorship from 1815–1866, an era of political, social, and economic instability in the United States. Without a well-defined historical narrative or an established literary lineage, writers drew upon death and the American landscape as tropes of unity and identification in an effort to define the nation and its literary future. Instead of representing nationalism or collectivism, however, the authors in this study drew on landscapes and death to mediate the crises of authorial displacement through what I term "xenotopia," strange places wherein a venerated American landscape has been disrupted or defamiliarized and inscribed with death or mourning. As opposed to the idealized settings of utopia or the environmental degradation of dystopia, which reflect the positive or negative social currents of a writer's milieu, xenotopia record the contingencies and potential problems that have not yet played out in a nation in the process of self-definition. Beyond this, however, xenotopia register as an assertion of agency and literary definition, a way to record each writer's individual and psychological experience of authorship while answering the call for a new definition of American literature in an indeterminate and undefined space. authorship land landscape death mortality deathscape nineteenth century Washington Irving William Cullen Bryant Mary Prince Nat Turner Edgar Allan Poe Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Margaret Junkin Preston Emily Dickinson xenotopia dystopia defamiliarization nature ecocriticism sustainability literary marketplace environment literary history indeterminacy antebellum early national black African-American Civil War American Studies Death in literature Landscapes in literature nineteenth century (dates CE)

Barrie) : symbolisme et parcours introspectif de l'aventure merveilleuse / Monde imaginaire du héros dans Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) et Peter Pan (James. M. Barrie) Lagacé, Sabrina 13 December 2023 (has links) Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 14 juillet 2023) / Le projet de création Mer imaginaire a pour objectif de transposer l'imaginaire d'une petite fille qui ne connaît pas le sentiment d'avoir un foyer familial et qui a dû, avec les années, se forger une identité sans l'aide de figures parentales. Tout au long de l'histoire, Sophia, une orpheline de onze ans, écrit des lettres pour ensuite les envoyer dans l'océan. Les nombreuses bouteilles à la mer sont une manière pour elle de se confier, de ne pas oublier. Elles représentent ce qu'elle n'ose dire à personne, même à Greg, son ami imaginaire. Un jour, Sophia s'enfuit du centre d'accueil et par un inexplicable phénomène, entre dans un monde parallèle qui la ramène en 1993, où elle fait la rencontre de sa mère alors que celle-ci est enceinte d'elle. À travers la découverte des événements qui expliquent la perte de sa mère, la narratrice nous fait sortir de la réalité pour nous présenter la manière dont elle perçoit les situations. Les diverses péripéties que traversent Sophia et Greg dans un univers qu'ils ne semblent pas maîtriser totalement vont, au final, éclairer les raisons pour lesquelles elle est orpheline. À la suite d'un événement tragique, le destin transporte la petite Sophia en 2021. Cette fois-ci, Sophia tombe face à face avec son double, c'est-à-dire avec elle-même, mais à l'âge de vingt-huit ans. Elle découvre également que Greg, du vrai nom de Grégory, est en fait le grand frère qu'elle aurait eu si sa mère n'avait pas fait une fausse couche. Ainsi, nous suivons Sophia grandir et vivre chaque étape de sa vie, tentant de se libérer des émotions reliées aux événements du passé. / Le monde imaginaire du héros dans Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) et Peter Pan (J. M. Barrie) : symbolisme et parcours introspectif de l'aventure merveilleuse. Dans cette partie réflexive du mémoire, je m'intéresse aux diverses significations du monde imaginaire créé par le personnage central (le héros) dans les œuvres Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) et Peter Pan (J. M. Barrie). Je compare les deux œuvres à l'étude avec ma création du projet de mémoire Mer imaginaire. Nous analysons ainsi le parcours émotionnel et introspectif de ces trois enfants : Le Petit Prince, Peter et Sophia. Mon essai se concentre sur comment et pourquoi le héros choisit de traduire la réalité, de transformer la perception d'objets réels en objets métaphoriques, voire merveilleux; comment, par l'allégorie, il arrive à faire voyager le lecteur et à l'inclure dans son aventure extraordinaire. Le but du projet de réflexion est de comprendre l'origine du personnage qui choisit de s'évader dans un monde fictif. Qui est Peter derrière Peter Pan ?

Strukturalistické interpretace Příběhu o dvou bratrech, Příběhu o princi, kterému byl předurčen osud, Astartina papyru, Usirovského cyklu a Anatina mýtu / Ancient Egyptian Mythological Narratives. Structural Interpretation of the Tale of Two Brothers, Tale of the Doomed Prince, the Astarte Papyrus, the Osirian Cycle and the Anat Myth Pehal, Martin January 2015 (has links) is study is composed of two units: manuscript of the author's publication Interpreting Ancient Egyptian Narratives: A Structural Analysis of the Tale of Two Brothers, the Anat Myth, the Osirian Cycle, and the Astarte Papyrus (Nouvelles études orientales, Bruxelles-Fernelmont: EME, 2014) and an additonal chapter entitled Accommodating Ambivalence: Case of the Doomed Prince and His Dog, which follows directly a er the Index of the first unit and which extends the applied methodology to yet another New Kingdom mythological narrative, the so-called Tale of the Doomed Prince. Methodologically, the author follows the neo-structuralist approach. Both studies explain the strong configurational character of ancient Egyptian (mythological) thought which has the ability to connect various ontological levels of human experience with the surrounding world into complex synchronic structures. ese symbolical systems are shown to be mediating between the various cultural paradoxes which were inherent to ancient Egyptian society. Axial role in this process is a ributed to the institution of positional kingship represented by the Pharaoh. Its transformative function is also put into relation to the special status of female characters who are shown to play the part of the "powerful powerless ones" further personifying...
274	Divadelní studio Reduta jako příklad modernistické utopie / Theatre Studio Reduta as an example of modernistic utopia Jiřík, Jan January 2013 (has links) 1 ABSTRACT This thesis describes the theatre reform at the turn of 19th and 20th century in its wider sociocultural concept. It focuses on the reaction of theatre to the modernistic crisis of European culture and society. Modernism is understood here according to its wider thematic and chronological definition. Modernism is based on the conception of machine civilization as it was defined by a Polish sociologist Jerzy Jedlicki. Jedlicki places the rise of modernistic cultural formation into the second half of 18th century which is when a steam engine was invented and it was a time of social turbulence and changes in human spirituality. Another theoretical frame of the thesis is created by utopia phenomenon as it was defined by Jerzy Szacki. Second half of 20th century is considered to be the end of modernism, inasmuch the utopic visions which had been placed on theatre faded away. The main topic of the thesis is Juliusz Osterwa's and Mieczyslaw Limanowski's theatre studio Reduta. It was founded in Warsaw in 1919 and it was to a great extend inspired by Moscow theatre studios of Stanislavsky and by Polish theatre sources (Stanislaw Wyspianski). By studying selected examples, the thesis studies Reduta as a realisation of modernistic utopia when theatre was supposed to carry a special mission in renaissance of...

Several Aspects of the Danish Phase of the Thirty Year's War Mišaga, Vít January 2014 (has links) Vít MIŠAGA, Christian IV, Mansfeld and the Invasion of Silesia and Moravia. Several Aspects of the Danish Phase of the Thirty Years' War, PhD dissertation, Charles University in Prague 2014 Summary In Czech and European historiography of the early modern period, the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) is one of the most discussed topics. Among Czech historians, there has always been an understandable emphasis on the revolt of the Bohemian estates, also known as the Bohemian phase of the war (1618- 1621). The Danish phase (1625-1629) is considerably less popular. The winners had already been or - to be more precise - seemed to be almost determined, and the further developments of the war did nothing to change the fate of the Czech lands. Analysis of the second half of the 1620s is therefore dominated by other topics - the recatholisation process, exile waves or the character of Albrecht von Wallenstein. Foreign historiographers also seem to downplay Denmark's influence. It is as if King Christian's unsuccessful attempt to fight the Emperor was only biding everyone's time until the "Lion of the North", Gustav II Adolf of Sweden, makes his great entrance. Or at least that is the perspective of an "all-knowing" historian who already knows the result. This thesis is trying to bring a different perspective. It is based...
276	Ett diadem och dess ikonografi : En studie av kejsarinnan Josephines pärl- och kamédiadem i porträtt mellan 1812 och 2010 / A Diadem and its Iconography : A Study of Empress Josephine’s Pearl and Cameo Diadem in Portraits between 1812 and 2010 af Klinteberg, Kristina January 2021 (has links) The main purpose of this study of a pearl and cameo diadem, given by Napoleon to his first wife Josephine in 1809, is to follow its representation in portraiture from Paris in 1812 to Stockholm in 2010, and explore how the iconography develops during these 200 years. From the earlier years, the diadem is found only in miniatures, then after coming to the new royal family in Sweden, the Bernadottes, it is given a role of an heirloom representing history and families in grand paintings, arriving to the present well-known wedding hairpiece, covered by modern media, where the diadem is more of a crown than the open, forehead-covering piece of fashion jewellery it was during the Napoleonic era in France. The portraits from 1812, 1814, 1836, 1837, 1877, 1976, 2000/2003 and 2010 also portray a development of the female role model of its time. Just like the hair piece attains an iconography which comprises not only the highest dress codes but also a possibility of status transformation for the people involved in ceremony, the role of the country’s First Lady is about to change into a higher, more egalitarian position of present days.
