Accommodation Fetishism

January 2017 (has links)
abstract: Since their introduction into English in the mid-sixteenth Century, accommodations have registered weighty concepts in religious, economic, and political discourse: they represented the process by which divine principles could be adapted to human understanding, the non-interest property loans that were the bedrock of Christian neighborliness, and a political accord that would satisfy all warring factions. These important ideas, however, give way to misdirection, mutation, and suspicion that can all be traced back to the word accommodation in some way—the word itself suggests ambiguous or shared agency and constitutes a blank form that might be overwritten with questionable values or content. This dissertation examines the semantic range and rhetorical value of the word accommodation, which garnered attention for being a “perfumed term” (Jonson), a “good phrase” (Shakespeare), a stumbling block (Milton), and idolatry (anonymous author). The word itself is acknowledged to have an extra-lingual value, some kind of efficacious appeal or cultural capital that periodically interferes with its meaning. These tendencies align it with different modes of fetishism—idolatry, commodity fetishism, and factishism—which I will explicate and synthesize through an analysis of accommodation’s various careers and explicit commentary evidenced in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation English 2017

Guerra e antropofagia em Jean de Léry e Claude D\'Abbeville: dos fragmentos míticos ao código compartilhado / War and anthropophagy according to Jean de Léry e Claude d\'Abbeville: from the mythic fragments to the shared codes

Fujimoto, Juliana 16 April 2008 (has links)
Os fragmentos míticos tupinambá sobre a origem da guerra presentes nas obras de Jean de Léry e de Claude d\'Abbeville constituem fontes privilegiadas para analisarmos tanto a tradução européia da alteridade indígena, a partir do enfoque naqueles que foram classificados dentre os piores costumes indígenas - a guerra e a antropofagia -; quanto uma possível re-fundação nativa da guerra e da antropofagia a partir das novidades conhecidas desde o encontro com a alteridade européia. Isso porque esses registros contêm elementos do cristianismo professado pelos europeus com os quais os nativos tiveram contato, assim como elementos da leitura tupinambá, em termos míticos, da alteridade européia. Nesse sentido, essas narrativas podem ser compreendidas também como códigos construídos e compartilhados por europeus e indígenas desde o encontro entre essas populações. No contexto estudado é a linguagem da religião cristã que constitui o principal instrumento de mediação na comunicação entre europeus (sobretudo, os missionários) e indígenas e de tradução da alteridade americana para a cultura européia. Dessa forma, nesse trabalho, tentaremos analisar os registros de Léry e de d\'Abbeville sobre o início das guerras inter-tribais, tendo em vista o fato destes constituírem uma tradução da guerra e da antropofagia indígena para o público europeu, assim como um possível código construído e compartilhado entre indígenas e europeus, no contexto das relações entre franceses e indígenas (Léry) e no contexto da relação entre indígenas e missionários jesuítas (d\'Abbeville). / The tupinambá\'s mythic fragments about the origin of the war related by Jean de Léry and Claude d\'Abbeville are good fonts to we analyze so the translation of the Indian, based upon approach in those that were classified between the worst Indian customs - the war and the anthropophagy - ; as a possible re-foundation of these customs, based upon the news which Indians knew since their fist encounter with the European. These registers have elements of the Christianism professed for the Europeans that Indians knew, as elements of the Indian read, in mythic terms, of the other European. In this sense, these narratives can be understood too as a code constructed and shared for Europeans and Indians since the encounter between these people. In this study, the Christian religion language is the main mediation instrument of the communication between Europeans (above all missionaries) and Indians, and the main translation\'s instrument of the American difference for the European culture. Therefore, in this study, we will try to analyze the Lery\'s and the d\'Abbeville\'s texts about the origin of the war, considering the fact that theses texts are a translation of the war and of the anthropophagy to the European public, and considering too that these are a possible code shared between Indians and Europeans, into the context of the relationship among Frenchs and Indians (Léry) and into the context of the relationship among Jesuits missionaries and Indians (d\'Abbeville).
