The emblematic architectural decoration at the Château d'Anet of Diane de Poitiers : a catalogue and analysisDecker, Kristen Marie 11 June 2012 (has links)
The Château d'Anet, France was a hunting lodge and familial residence commissioned and built in the years 1547 to 1555 at the behest of Diane de Poitiers, mistress of King Henri II. The architecture of the château incorporates a set of devices cultivated by Diane to establish an association between herself and Diana, the Roman goddess of the Hunt; these were the crescent moon, the bow and arrow, and Diane's own initials. Devices, which were personal marks chosen to distinguish an individual through the expression of some idealized element of character or aspirations, had primarily appeared at the French Renaissance court in jewelry, clothing, or art. Beginning in the late 15th century, the Valois kings Louis XII and François I took the practice a step further by weaving devices into the architectural fabric of their residences, where they appeared in entrances, walls, balustrades, and dormers; while drawing on this precedent, the Château d'Anet is the first example of a château commissioned by a woman that featured a program of personalized architectural decoration specific to her character, interests, and position. In this thesis, I will catalogue and analyze the emblematic architectural decorations that permeate both the exterior and interior of the structure, focusing on those examples embedded in the exterior stonework. This catalogue will, in turn, lead to an examination of the impact of this imagery on the overall experience of the château in the 16th century, and the influence the château may have had on the perception of Diane de Poitiers at court. By layering the qualities of the goddess over her own attributes, she was able to create a persona that meshed Diane with Diana; the skillful utilization of the aspects of the deity's otherworldly nature, such as her beauty, chastity, and mystique, was very useful in a court enamored with novelty and chivalric romance, where Diane's power and social position depended on her ability to retain the king's interest. / text

O milagre como fenômeno cinematográfico Anunciação, Cura do Cego, Ressurreição / The miracle as a cinematographic phenomenon: Annunciation, Healing of the Blind, Resurrection.Faissol, Pedro de Andrade Lima 22 June 2018 (has links)
A representação do milagre no cinema é um problema. O seu caráter descontínuo solicita do(a) realizador(a) uma tomada de posição: esconder as marcas das operações fílmicas, camuflando-as em prol de uma transparência, ou explicitar sem disfarces os artifícios empregados. Supõe-se que o milagre no cinema seja mais bem resolvido quando se apresenta frontalmente, expondo as suas fraturas através da exacerbação do meio fílmico. A hipótese acima, de natureza axiológica, será verificada na análise de filmes que tematizam três milagres dos Evangelhos: Anunciação, Cura do cego e Ressurreição. Cada milagre será articulado a um diferente problema de representação. Na primeira parte da tese, estudaremos a Anunciação no cinema à luz dos motivos plásticos herdados de sua vasta iconografia. Na segunda parte, dedicada à Cura do cego, analisaremos as operações empregadas na representação do milagre a partir das questões que se colocam pela figuração da imagem religiosa. Na terceira parte da tese, por fim, a Ressurreição: veremos as estratégias de encenação adotadas em função da crença do espectador na representação. / The representation of the miracle in films is a problem. Its discontinuous aspect demands from the director to take a position: to hide the traces from the filmic operations, dissimulating them for transparency purpose, or to underline the effects employed. In this thesis we will argue that the miracle is better represented when it shows itself frontally, exposing its disruptions in the explicitness of the filmic means. In order to verify the axiological hypothesis above, we will analyze several films that stage three miracles of the Gospels: Annunciation, Healing of the blind and Resurrection. Each of them will be articulated to a different representational problem. In the first part of the thesis, we will study the Annunciation in films according to the motifs inherited from its vast iconography. In the second part, dedicated to the Healing of the blind, we will analyze the filmic operations employed and the questions posed by the figuration of the religious image. In the third part of the thesis, finally, the Resurrection: we will see the strategies of staging adopted according to the belief of the spectator in the representation.
