This thesis examines the effects the imposition of Anglo-Norman lordship, following the Anglo-Norman expansion into Wales in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, had upon the landscape of the Welsh border region. In order to achieve this aim this project makes extensive use of digital Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in order to produce a detailed county-wide study of the landscape of post-Conquest Monmouthshire as well as comprehensive case studies of individual Anglo-Norman lordships contained within the boundaries of the county. This thesis also aims to locate its findings within important current debates in historic archaeology about the effects of medieval lordship upon the landscape, on the roles of the physical environment and human agency in the forming of the historic landscape, on the wider role of castles as lordship centres, beyond simple military functionality.

De la fin des invasions magyares, dans le second tiers du Xe siècle, jusqu'en 1300, l'Alsace connut un accroissement continu de chantiers de constructions fortifiées privées. Celui-ci se traduisit par l'édification de dizaines de châteaux dont les ruines jalonnent, du Nord au Sud, le versant oriental du massif vosgien et qui ne manquèrent pas de susciter la curiosité de nombre de chercheurs depuis plus d'un siècle. L'histoire de leur construction, ou « art de bâtir », longtemps reléguée au second plan, a connu de grandes avancées grâce à l'archéologie du bâti. Ces études permettent, grâce à la documentation des phases de constructions, d'aborder les questions relatives au fonctionnement d'un chantier et à la gestion des matériaux. Le massif étant divisé entre une partie gréseuse au Nord et une zone cristallophyllienne, plus diverse, au Sud, l'apport de la géologie ou de la chimie des matériaux ouvrent de nouveaux champs de connaissances (composition des mortiers, sélection de roches pour les parements). Posé sur un sommet bien visible, le château cumulait les fonctions de résidence privée et de protection publique et ses parements furent conçus de façon à répondre au mieux aux exigences militaires et résidentielles. / From the end of the Hungarian invasions, in the second third of the 10th Century, until 1300, a growing number of private fortifications was built in Alsace. This phenomenon was represented by dozens of castles, ruins of which punctuate from North to South the eastern side of the Vosges Mountains and stirred up the curiosity of many archaeologists for more than one century. The history of their construction, or "art of building", considered as secondary for a long time, improved thanks to the archaeological studies of elevations. These researches enable to show information relating to the organisation of a building-yard and the management of materials, thanks to the documentation of the different stages of building. The Vosges massif being divided into a sandstone part in the North and a granite part in the South, geological or chemical studies open new fields of knowledge (composition of mortars, stone selection for the facing of wall...). Built upon a well visible summit, the castle gathered the functions of private residence and public defence, so its walls were designed to fit military and residential requirements at best.

Cette recherche d’archéologie médiévale a pour objet l’incidence des pouvoirs locaux et régionaux sur l’occupation du territoire du pays de Forcalquier et sur son architecture. Nous nous sommes proposé d’éclairer les évolutions de l’occupation de ce territoire sur une séquence chronologique allant du IXe au XIIIe siècle. Cette période permet d’appréhender les implications des pouvoirs locaux tant politiques que religieux et de percevoir les mutations sociales, culturelles et matérielles communes à l’Occident médiéval. Les espaces religieux et les espaces politiques ont formé autour de Forcalquier une véritable mosaïque de terroirs dont la diversité de l’institution qui la dominait apparaît par le biais du vestige matériel. L’étude souhaite apporter sa contribution à une meilleure connaissance de la Provence médiévale. / This research on medieval archaeology focuses on the influence of local and regional powers on the territory occupation of the village of Forcalquier and on its architecture. Our purpose is to clarify the evolution of the occupation of this territory in the period going from IX to XIII century. This period gives us the opportunity to understand the implications of the local political and religious powers and to perceive the social, cultural and material changes which are common to the medieval West. The religious spaces and the political spaces created around Forcalquier a real mosaic of territories, where the diversity of the dominating institutions is shown by material vestiges. This study hopes to contribute to a deeper knowledge of the medieval Provence.

The object of research is composed of two aspects, one material or general and other formal or specific. The material aspect is the work Interior Castle of St. Teresa of Jesus. The formal aspect of the object is to identify traces of the four symbolic natural elements present in the mystical narrative. For that, we turn to the theoretical Gaston Bachelard in order to identify the four natural elements in the work. The ways, methodological procedures, which intended to follow to the resolution of the problem of this research are theoretical. In the theoretical field, will be developed a literature search (presented the authors / researchers in justification and bibliography) that approximates the question of religiosity, spirituality and mystic with the question of culture. First, we will do an approximatively reading to familiarize with the text, from the lens of the four natural elements, that is, imagination material in Gaston Bachelard. Then we will perform the collection of the Castle Interior work passages that indicate the presence of the four natural elements, that is, the material imagination. Thus, will be held the book report of the work and explored the passages according to the prospect of symbolic hermeneutics based on Gaston Bachelard. The third, final step in this process, is to apply the interpretation methodology, that is, the symbolic hermeneutic. That way, we will use for this research the symbolic hermeneutics in the work Interior Castle, from studies about material imagination in Gaston Bachelard / A pesquisa focaliza uma obra clássica do Cristianismo espanhol do século XVI, cuja finalidade é estudar a Imaginação Material e Mística: traços dos quatro elementos naturais presentes na obra Castelo Interior de Santa Teresa d'Ávila. O objeto da pesquisa é composto por dois aspectos, um material ou geral e outro formal ou específico. O aspecto material é a obra Castelo Interior, de Santa Teresa de Jesus. O aspecto formal do objeto é identificar traços dos quatro elementos naturais simbólicos presentes na narrativa mística. Para tanto, recorreremos ao teórico Gaston Bachelard a fim de identificar os quatro elementos naturais na obra. Os caminhos, procedimentos metodológicos, que se pretendem seguir para a resolução do problema desta pesquisa são teóricos. No campo teórico, desenvolver-se-á uma pesquisa bibliográfica (apresentados os autores / pesquisadores na justificativa e na bibliografia) que aproxime a questão da religiosidade, espiritualidade e mística com a questão da cultura. Primeiro, faremos uma leitura aproximativa para familiarizar com o texto, a partir da lente dos quatro elementos naturais, ou seja, imaginação material em Gaston Bachelard. Em seguida, realizaremos a coleta dos trechos da obra Castelo Interior que indiquem a presença dos quatro elementos naturais, ou seja, a imaginação material. Dessa forma, será realizado o fichamento da obra e explorados os trechos conforme a perspectiva da hermenêutica simbólica baseada em Gaston Bachelard. O terceiro, último passo nesse processo, é aplicar a metodologia de interpretação, isto é, a hermenêutico simbólica. Dessa maneira, utilizaremos para essa pesquisa a hermenêutico simbólica na obra Castelo Interior a partir dos estudos sobre a imaginação material em Gaston Bachelard

This work deals with the sacred spaces Czech Krumlov Castle in the top and the late Gothic (1250 -1300 AD). The work identifies these facilities, their construction and development of their attempts to absolute dating and interpretation of their relationship. In this context seems to be showing the remains of an important festival that year, a week before the Feast of Corpus Christi, the city turned into a stage sacred representation. Besides the city itself was in the medieval concept of the founding hosnot reflection of God on earth.

This thesis addresses issues of class as represented through the narrative agency exercised by the servant-narrator in Castle Rackrent and Wuthering Heights. Thady Quirk and Ellen Dean are servant-narrators who strategically use feigned allegiance, astute perception, and selective disclosure to wield power over the lives of their masters. These “arts of subordination” allow the servant-narrator to tell his or her own life narrative, while appearing to share the masters’ memoirs. While both servant-narrators are motivated by economic means, Ellen Dean’s involvement throughout Wuthering Heights is further complicated by her desires of emotional connection. However, each servant-narrator achieves his or her goals by manipulating the events and relationships that constitute his or her masters’ lives.

This study is one of the responses by the National Park Service to requirements in NAGPRA. The study was commissioned by the NPS Applied Ethnography Program in Washington, D.C., to identify individuals and tribes affiliated with the objects of cultural patrimony, sacred objects, or unassociated funerary objects at five NPS units, review those unit summaries, assist park or center staff in initiating consultation regarding those objects, and conduct a case demonstration consultation for Pipe Spring National Monument. The project was administered under Cooperative Agreement #8100 -1 -0001 between the Western Archeological and Conservation Center, National Park Service and the University of Arizona. While this study was specific to NAGPRA- related issues, the NPS does stipulate in its Management Policies (1988) that consultation with Native Americans will occur with regard to cultural resource issues. NAGPRA is not the only consultation arena the NPS is currently involved in with Native Americans.

Ce mémoire est consacré à la question de la réception spectatorielle des films en IMAX 3-D. Dans un premier temps, nous retracerons l’histoire du cinéma stéréoscopique, des origines jusqu’à l’inauguration de l’IMAX 3-D en 1986. Nous verrons que le modèle de l’attraction cinématographique s’est maintenu de tout temps dans l’économie de ce format, ce qui a contribué aux échecs de son institutionnalisation dans les années 50 et 80. En un deuxième temps, nous nous intéresserons à l’« expérience IMAX », afin de cerner la position qui y est attribuée au spectateur. Nous montrerons que les films IMAX misent à la fois sur leur potentiel immersif et sur la mise en évidence du dispositif. L’état d’immersion du spectateur entre donc en dialogue avec la réflexivité du médium. Par l’analyse des films Sea Monsters : A Prehistoric Adventure et Haunted Castle, il sera démontré que cette tension entre immersion et réflexivité sert un discours de glorification de l’IMAX. Aussi, nous interrogeons les liens entre la structure ponctuelle imposée par le modèle attractionnel et le fil narratif immanquablement mis en place dans les films IMAX. / This thesis examines the ways in which IMAX 3-D films positions its spectator. First, we look at the history of 3-D cinema, from its origins to the inauguration of IMAX 3-D in 1986. We argue that for the first 70 years of its history, 3-D cinema was staged as a return to the cinema of attractions, and that this aesthetic was an obstacle to its institutionalization in the mid-50’s and 80’s. Then, we describe the “IMAX experience” and argue that IMAX films induce a state of immersion and, at the same time, draw the viewer’s attention to the presence of the apparatus and the act of mediation. In analysing the movies Sea Monsters: a Prehistoric Adventure and Haunted Castle, we demonstrate that this tension between viewer immersion and medium reflexivity serves to glorify the IMAX trademark. Furthermore, we examine the relationship between the punctual structure imposed by the logic of attractions and the narrative line held by each and every IMAX film.
