My dissertation Woman, Nation and Identity in the Narrative of Juana Manuela Gorriti and Clorinda Matto de Turner follows the construction of female identity in the emergent Latin American imaginary, and uses the regional zeitgeist as a framework for the analysis of the works of Juana Manuela Gorriti (Argentina, 1819 - 1892) and Clorinda Matto de Turner (Peru, 1852 - 1909), the latter known as the author of the first widely-read novel about indigenous issues in Latin America. I intend to shed light on the parallels between the turbulent intellectual lives of these two authors, the uncommon voice conferred upon them as members of a privileged upper class, and their active involvement in national politics. My work on these authors and their texts, some of them understudied, focus on the concept of gender in relation to the national project in the violent post-independence era to understand the development of identity in Latin America. I elaborate on these topics by analyzing the feminine subject, the domestic space, and the national imaginary and exploring their textual articulations to demonstrate their relevance in the emergent nations. It is impossible to read these novels without noticing the contradictions between gender performance and the actions of the female characters. The reading of this counter discourse reveals the process by which the agency of the feminine subject subverts the symbolic order and changes the national imaginary. I trace the transfer of power from the male in the public sphere to the female in the private sphere, as well as the role of women in the national project as portrayed in these works. This analysis intends to demonstrate how opening up the private spaces serves to better illustrate, or illustrate in a detailed way, national actuality in opposition to written authorized History. / text

Neste sentido, os cemitérios extramuros desencadearam novas práticas culturais e adaptações nas atitudes diante da morte. Os médicos higienistas, que influenciaram decisivamente na elaboração e aprovação destas normas sanitárias pelo poder público, acreditavam que os corpos cadavéricos eram possíveis focos de emanações miasmáticas, sendo agentes de grande poder de infecção do ar, causadores de toda sorte de epidemias na cidade. A proibição dos sepultamentos nas igrejas gerou múltiplos pontos de discussão e conflitos na sociedade recifense do século XIX, assim como ocorreu em várias outras cidades brasileiras: dentro do poder público, na elaboração de leis e regulamentos para as novas práticas fúnebres, como também na população, que viu suas crenças mais íntimas ameaçadas, sobretudo entre membros de irmandades religiosas e os emergentes comerciantes dos novos serviços mortuários. Ademais, o estudo das transformações dos costumes fúnebres foi fundamental para a compreensão do conflito entre a Igreja e o Estado na segunda metade do século XIX, sobretudo pela negação da Igreja em conceber o direito dos não-católicos a serem sepultados nos cemitérios públicos, interpretados como elementos decisivos no processo de secularização da morte no Brasil oitocentista / Abstract: From the study of the construction project of the Public Cemetery Bom Jesus da Redenção, in the XIXth century Recife, this work analyses how the traditional funerary customs were modified after the imposed new sanitary norms. In this sense, the outdoor cemeteries triggered new cultural practices and new adapted attitudes related to death. The hygienist physicians, decisively influencing the elaboration and approval of these norms by the public authorities, believed that the dead bodies were possible focuses of miasmatic emanations, becoming powerful infectious agents of the air, and sources of all possible epidemies in the city. The prohibition of burials inside churches originated many arguments and conflicts in the Recife's society of the XIX century, as also happened in other Brazilian cities: into the public authority, in the elaboration of laws and regulations regarding the new burial practices, as well as in the population, that perceived as menaced its most intimate burial practices, mostly between those belonging to religious fraternities and emerging dealers of the new funereal services. Besides, the study of the transformations of the funereal customs was fundamental to the understanding of the conflict between Church and State in the second half of the XIX century, mostly because of the Church refusal in accept the right of the non-catholic to be buried in the public cemeteries, viewed as decisive elements for the secularization of the death in the eighteenth century Brazil / Mestrado / Historia Social / Mestre em História

Cette étude consiste à embrasser dans un même mouvement les différents récits courts stendhaliens. Elle s'articule en cinq temps. Les trois premiers moments consistent à analyser, séparément, les anecdotes, nouvelles et récits inachevés stendhaliens. Une fois ces différentes typologies établies, l'étude se focalise sur la notion d'énergie, dénominateur commun de l'ensemble des récits courts composés par Stendhal. Enfin, le dernier chapitre cherche à montrer aussi bien la portée que la place de ces textes hétérogènes dans le vaste ensemble de la création stendhalienne. L'un des principaux intérêts de ce travail est de réhabiliter des textes qui, pour des raisons aussi bien génériques qu'éditoriales, n'ont pas encore été l'objet d'une étude exhaustive. Notre réflexion vise également à montrer tout à la fois la permanence et l'unité du genre bref dans l'œuvre de Stendhal, malgré l'existence d'indéniables différences entre les textes. Notre étude établit également une continuité entre récits courts et récits longs, ce qui permet de mieux comprendre des phénomènes stendhaliens aussi essentiels que l'inachèvement, la réécriture ou encore l'intertextualité. / This study is to embrace in the same movement the various short stories Stendhal. It is divided into five times. The first three stages are to analyze separately the anecdotes, news stories and unfinished Stendhal. After these established typologies, the study focuses on the concept of energy, the common denominator of all short stories composed by Stendhal. The last chapter seeks to show both the extent that instead of these heterogeneous texts in the broad set of Stendhal's creation. One of the main interests of this work is to rehabilitate texts that, for reasons both generic editorial, have not yet been subject to a comprehensive study. Our thinking is also intended to show the permanence and unity of the short kind in Stendhal's work, despite the undeniable existence of differences between the texts. Our study also establishes continuity between short stories and long stories, allowing a better understanding of phenomena as essential as Stendhal incompleteness, rewriting or intertextuality.

A pesquisa tem como objetivos levantar os aspectos culturais e históricos que proporcionaram o aparecimento e a preservação da coleção; identificar as práticas de leitura da família Botelho e verificar a coincidência entre o acervo e os padrões culturais da época. A partir da fundamentação teórica da História da Leitura, a pesquisa baseia-se no levantamento, caracterização e análise dos itens que compõem a biblioteca, no que diz respeito aos seus aspectos físicos e temáticos. Entrevistas com descendentes e análise de documentos da família complementam os dados. Os resultados revelaram que o acervo da atual biblioteca foi construído em duas vertentes. Uma da época do Conde e dos seus primeiros descendentes, cujos vestígios são visíveis, mas que ao longo dos anos perderam-se em parte. A outra foi obtida através da reconstrução da biblioteca que existiu, a partir de idéias, notícias e o imaginário atual sobre o que teria sido um acervo da passagem do século XIX para o século XX. Através das temáticas abrangidas pelo acervo, verifica-se que os Botelho, seguindo a tendência elitista da época, valorizavam a cultura européia, principalmente a francesa. As temáticas ‘viagens’, ‘história’ e ‘exotismo’ em relação ao Brasil são bastante privilegiadas no acervo. A coleção evidencia ainda a mudança das preferências de leitura ao longo das gerações, como por exemplo, da predominância das ciências humanas para a inclusão de obras de ciências exatas. Há também algumas obras especiais com dedicatórias e em primeiras edições. / Studies the history of a private library owned by many generations of the family of the Count of Pinhal, an eminent politician and businessman who lived in the second half of the XIX century and who had an important role in the foundation and development of the city of S. Carlos in the countryside of S. Paulo State. The objectives include analysis of the cultural aspects which determined the beginning of the collection and its preservation; identifying the reading practices of the Botelho which may represent the readers of the rural aristocracy in the Brazilian period of the move from monarchy to republic, and verifying the congruences between the collection and the cultural patterns of that time. Founded on historical theories of reading, the research carries out a physical and thematic analysis and characterization of the items of the library. Interviews with members of the family furnished additional data. Results revealed that the collection which form the library today presents two sections based on two historical moments. One of the time in which the Count and his immediate descendents still lived, whose vestiges are visible, although part of it has been lost through the years. The other was obtained by means of the reconstruction of the first library, based on ideas, on information, and on the present beliefs about what a collection of the threshold of the twentieth century must have been like. From the analysis of the themes covered by the collection, it was verified that the Botelho, following the elitist tendencies of the time, valued the european culture, mainly the french culture. As to the themes related to Brazil, the most frequent were “traveling”, “history” and “exoticism”. The collection also reveals reading preference shifts through time, as for example, from the predominance of human sciences to hard sciences. There are also some special first edition books with notes from authors.

Cette thèse étudie le personnage de la servante dans le roman français depuis Geneviève de Lamartine, paru en 1850, premier roman à la prendre pour personnage principal, jusqu’au Journal d’une femme de chambre, d’Octave Mirbeau, en 1900, en passant par les romans des Goncourt, de Zola, de Maupassant et un ensemble de nouvelles. Cette recherche se situe dans une perspective principalement sociocritique. Après un bref examen des trajectoires des auteurs dans le champ littéraire, elle entreprend de reconstituer les discours que la figure de la domestique engendre ou mobilise, afin de comprendre comment la fiction a pu apparaître comme un moyen d’investigation para-sociologique. La figure de la domestique est d’abord envisagée comme une manière d’interroger les rapports modernes de travail et les relations entre les classes en régime de démocratie libérale. Sa place dans le schéma patriarcal et l’élaboration du foyer, en particulier dans le Paris d’Haussmann, est ensuite observée. Un dernier chapitre envisage la domestique comme fantasme sexuel issu de la littérature érotique mais retravaillé vers la préfiguration de ce qui sera conceptualisé plus tard comme l’inconscient. / This thesis studies the character of the maid in the French novel. It starts from Lamartine's Geneviève, published in 1850, the first novel to make maids a main character, and ends with Octave Mirbeau's The Diary of a chambermaid, in 1900. It also studies the novels of Goncourt, Zola, Maupassant and a set of short stories. This research uses a mainly sociocritical perspective. After a brief examination of the trajectories of authors in the literary field, it undertakes to reconstitute the discourses that the figure of the servant generates or mobilizes. It focuses on how the fiction could appear as a means of para-sociological investigation. The figure of the servant is first conceived as a way of questioning the modern work relations as well as the relations between classes in a liberal democracy. The servant's place in the patriarchal pattern and the structure of the home, especially in Haussmann's Paris, is then studied. A final chapter considers the domestic as a sexual fantasy steming from erotic literature but reworked to the prefiguration of what will later be conceptualized as the unconscious.

This research proposes to reflect about part of the Brazilian press history not only as a report on the happenings, bringing dates and names that highlighted Brazil's important moments, but also to understand both how the press contributed for making meaning of the transformation process of a colony into a nation, and the relationship between Brazil and Portugal in the independence project. This work will analyze the discourse in the following newspapers: O Espelho, O Conciliador do Reino Unido, Reverbero Constitucional Fluminense, Correio do Rio de Janeiro and O Macaco Brasileiro, aiming at understanding the meaning construction process of nation, independence and freedom throughout 1821 and 1822. Those papers are relevant for the study of the relationship between the media and Brazilian independence process. Our research has as theoretical background the Discourse Analysis, producing interpretation movements that will allow the understanding of a certain period in time, of a social practice that produced founding meanings.

Esta dissertação de Mestrado tem por objetivo explicitar a relação entre senhores e escravos, analisando as alforrias no contexto da transmissão de bens e partilha de heranças, entre 1850 e 1888, nas freguesias da Sé, Brás, Santa Efigênia, Penha, Conceição de Guarulhos, Juquery, Nossa Senhora do Ó, São Bernardo e Cotia, que eram os Distritos de Paz da cidade de São Paulo. Pretende-se, partindo das manumissões registradas nos testamentos, principalmente as condicionadas à morte do proprietário de cativos, verificar a obtenção da liberdade jurídica, entendida como conquista do status jurídico de forro pelo ex-cativo e seus possíveis significados. Para tal enfoque, serão analisados os testamentos, inventários post-mortem e as cartas de liberdade registradas na Capital. Desse modo, será possível confrontar a vontade dos testadores à forma como esta pôde ser cumprida, após a morte, levando em consideração o patrimônio amealhado, as atitudes dos herdeiros nas sucessões e a legislação exposta nas Ordenações Filipinas, na Constituição de 1824, nos decretos e leis excepcionais, no Direito Romano e no direito consuetudinário, dispositivos que influenciavam nos assuntos relativos à escravidão. / This Masters Degree Dissertation has as subject to demonstrate the relationship between masters and slaves, analysing the alforrias in the context of transmition of goods and sharing of heritages, from 1850 to 1888, in the Freguesias of Sé, Brás, Santa Ifigênia, Penha, Conceição de Guarulhos, Juquery, Nossa Senhora do Ó, São Bernardo and Cotia, which were the Distritos de Paz of São Paulo City. We aim to verify the obtention of legal freedom, understood as a conquest of legal status as forro by the ex-captive and the possibles meanings of it, starting from manumitions registered on wills, mainly the conditional manumitions linked to the death of captive owners. Through this perspective, the wills, inventories post-mortem and freedom letters registered on the city capital will be analysed. By this way, it will be possible to confront the wishes of the slave owners with the mode those ones could be accomplished after the owners death, taking in account the patrimony amassed, the atitudes of the heirs concerning the succession, and the laws exposed in the Ordenações Filipinas, in the Constitution of 1824, in the decrees and exceptional laws, in Roman and Common Law, in all these legal documents that had influence on the themes related to slavery.

Donner la parole aux captives pour écrire leur histoire, dans laquelle elles apparaissent trop souvent comme les témoins inaudibles, les placer au cœur de l’étude, tels sont les objectifs de ce travail sur les prisonnières des maisons centrales de Cadillac et de Montpellier dans le sud de la France, depuis la naissance de la prison pénale au tournant du XIXe siècle jusqu’au début du XXe siècle : qui sont ces femmes, quelles sont leurs conditions d’incarcération, comment vivent-elles l’enfermement, entre résistances et adaptations aux tentatives de disciplinarisation exercées par la pénitentiaire ? Les réponses à ces questions évoluent non seulement en fonction des politiques pénales et des mutations sociétales, mais surtout au gré des sociabilités carcérales, plurielles et mouvantes : spécifiques aux prisons de femmes, les changements du personnel surveillant – composé successivement de gardiens laïques, de religieuses puis de surveillantes laïques – bouleversent le quotidien des détenues ; de même que les rapports aux proches, fragilisés par l’identification des condamnées comme fautives et par leur absence du foyer, à une époque où les femmes incarnent les gardiennes de la morale dans la famille et la société. Les archives pénitentiaires des départements où se situent ces deux centrales de femmes, la Gironde et l’Hérault, contiennent notamment des dossiers individuels de prisonnières, des correspondances de personnels, de détenues et de leur entourage. Par une approche au ras du sol, partant de l’intérieur des centrales, nous tâcherons de dépeindre cette microsociété emmurée en confrontant les directives nationales avec les réalités locales et les vécus individuels. Dans un monde carcéral dominé par le masculin, où les prisonnières sont très minoritaires, il s’agira de comprendre comment l’enfermement au féminin est pensé ou au contraire ignoré. / The following study treats about women detainees of Cadillac's and Montpellier's central prisons in the south of France, from the penitentiary system implementation at the beginning of the 19th century to the early 20th century. It attempts to put women prisoners at the centre of the work and to give them a voice to write their own history, not as inaudible witnesses as they usually appear: who are they, what are their conditions of detention, how are they living seclusion between resistance and adaptation to disciplinarisation attempts exercised on them by prison administration ? The answers to these questions don't only shift because of penal policies and societal mutations but also due to plural and moving prison sociabilities: specific to women’s jails, prison officers switches – successively composed of secular men guards, sisters, then secular women agents – upset prisoners' daily life; as well as their relationship with their family, weakened by the detainees' identification as offenders and by their absence from their home, at a time when women embody the image of family and guardians of morality. Penitentiary archives of the departments where are located these two women central prisons, Hérault and Gironde, especially contain individual files of captives, some correspondences of jail staff, captives and relatives. Adopting a reduced scale observation, from within the jail, we will try to depict this prison microsociety comparing national directives with local context and personal experiences. In a male-dominated prison world, where women detainees represent a very small minority, we will try to understand how feminine seclusion is considered or, on the contrary, ignored. / Darle la palabra a las presas para escribir su historia, dentro de la que muy a menudo aparecen como testigos inaudibles, colocarles en el centro del estudio, estos son los objetivos de este trabajo acerca de las detenidas en las cárceles de Cadillac y de Montpellier en el sur de Francia, desde el nacimiento de la prisión penal a comienzos del siglo XIX hasta el principio del siglo XX : ¿ Quiénes son, cuáles son sus condiciones de detención, cómo viven el encierro, entre resistencias y adaptaciones a las tentativas de disciplinarización que ejerce la institución penitenciaria? Las repuestas a estas preguntas evolucionan no solo según las políticas penales y las mutaciones societales sino sobre todo en función de las sociabilidades carcelarias, plurales y móviles : específicos a las cárceles de mujeres, los cambios del personal de vigilancia – compuesto sucesivamente de guardianes laicos, de religiosas y después de funcionarias laicas – perturban considerablemente la vida cotidiana de las presas; así como las relaciones con sus familiares, debilitadas por la identificación de las condenadas como culpables y por su ausencia del hogar, en una época en que las mujeres encarnan la garantía de la moral en la familia y en la sociedad. Los archivos penitenciarios de las provincias donde se sitúan estas dos cárceles, Gironde y Hérault, contienen en particular expedientes individuales de detenidas, cartas del personal, de las prisioneras y de sus familiares. Siguiendo un método de examen con lupa, desde el interior de la cárcel, intentaremos representar a esta microsociedad carcelaria, confrontando las directrices nacionales con las realidades locales y las vivencias individuales. En un mundo penitenciario dominado por lo masculino, donde las mujeres son muy minoritarias, se tratara de comprender como el encierro femenino está pensado o al contrario ignorado.

La poésie d’Emily Dickinson dévoile un lyrisme théâtralisé : chaque poème devient une scène où évolue une voix qui se travestit, s’altère, se diffracte en divers échos. Très influencée par l’œuvre de Shakespeare, mais également par la théâtralité ambiante de l’Amérique victorienne, Dickinson met en scène le sujet lyrique dans ce qu’il a de plus théâtral. La théâtralité de référence étant celle du dramaturge et poète élisabéthain, cette "contamination" du théâtre nous incite à élargir notre conception du lyrisme. Si l’on observe des résurgences ironiques d’une conception traditionnelle du lyrisme comme un épanchement intime, ce dernier est surtout à envisager en termes de dynamique, d’énergie. Le théâtre est pour Emily Dickinson le lieu autre où le lyrisme s’altère plus avant, la structure nodale de l’écriture lyrique et son cœur battant, le lieu de sa revitalisation. / Emily Dickinson’s poetry showcases a dramatic kind of lyricism: each poem becomes a scene where the lyric voice changes shape, tone, and even gender. Strongly influenced by Shakespeare’s work and by the extremely theatrical culture of Victorian America, Dickinson stages the lyrical self at its most theatrical. The fact that the Elizabethan playwright and poet’s idiosyncratic theater was the main reference for Dickinson’s conception of drama and theatricality invites us to broaden our conception of lyricism. Although some recurrences of a more traditional approach to lyricism as an outpouring of intimate feelings appear at times – mostly tainted with a great deal of irony – lyricism will mainly be considered as the energy fueling life into the poem. The theater is for Emily Dickinson the spring of this lyrical energy, the transformative force and the crucial structure at the heart of her poetic writing.

La plupart des études portant sur le bijou au XIXe siècle privilégient l’aspect stylistique et formel. La question des usages est, quant à elle, le plus souvent éludée et les rares considérations d’ordre social ou sociétal, lorsqu’elles sont abordées, demeurent anecdotiques. Or, le bijou joue un rôle social déterminant, notamment dans l’expression de la fortune mais aussi dans le processus d’identification et d’appartenance à un groupe. À cet égard, les périodiques de mode constituent un support d’étude des plus précieux. Ils nous renseignent sur l’usage très codifié que les femmes appartenant à l’élite faisaient de leurs bijoux, et implicitement sur la place et le rôle qui étaient assignés à ces dernières dans la société du XIXe siècle. Le périodique de mode constitue par ailleurs une source très intéressante pour contextualiser la création du bijou, qui devient dès lors un miroir des événements. Le bijou apparaît comme le reflet d’influences diverses, à la fois du point de vue technique, du choix des matériaux employés, du style adopté, des formes ou encore par la symbolique des décors travaillés. Grâce aux descriptions de bijoux contenues dans les chroniques de mode ainsi qu’aux gravures qui les accompagnent, nous retracerons une histoire des formes en discriminant les grandes tendances récurrentes entre 1820 et 1870 avant d’aborder celles qui caractérisent une période en particulier. Nous exploiterons aussi les mentions publicitaires afin d’examiner les relations qu’entretiennent les différents acteurs participant à la fabrication et au commerce des bijoux avec les phénomènes de mode. / Most studies regarding 19th-century jewellery favour the study of its stylistic and formal aspects. As for its uses, they are most often eluded and the rare social and societal considerations, when they are tackled, remain anecdotal. Yet, jewellery plays a determining social role, especially in the expression of wealth but also in the process of identification and of belonging to a group. For this, fashion periodicals constitute a most precious support for study. They tell us about the very codified use women from the elite made of their jewellery, and implicitly of the place and role that was assigned to them in 19th century society. The fashion periodical is also a very interesting source to contextualise the jewel creation, which thus becomes a mirror of events. Jewellery appears as a reflection of various influences, all at once from the technical point of view, the choice of materials, the chosen style, the form or the symbolism of the worked designs. Through the descriptions of jewellery contained in fashion chronicles and engravings that accompany them, we shall retrace a history of forms by categorising the great trends recurring between 1820 and 1870 before dealing with those characterising one particular era. We shall also use advertisement notices in order to examine the relationships linking the different actors that participate in the making and marketing of jewellery with the fashion phenomena.
