The thesis attempts to discuss the character of late Romantic literature and art as it developed in England throughout the Victorian period. It follows the assertion made by G. Hough that it is possible to identify a continuous presence of Romantic ideas and methods in the writings of some major Victorian authors, and reflects the fact that there was actually no consensus or prevailing unequivocal view of Romanticism at that time, as is evidenced in the contradicting statements of such writers as John Ruskin and Walter Pater. The first objective of the thesis is thus to define the characteristic features of English Romanticism as they can be tracked down in the formative period of the 18th century and the time of High Romanticism of the first decades of the following century, and to see what transforming changes these characteristics underwent during the Victorian era. The sources of Romantic sensibility are located in the revolutionary role of the scientific discoveries of the 17th century and a new focus of the philosophical writings of that period, concerning mainly operations of the human mind. This development resulted in new aesthetic conceptions based on the two prevailing approaches, empiricism and Neo-Platonism. These theories conditioned the main concern of Romantic thought, i.e. an...

This essay highlights The Happy Prince’s advantageous use of conventions of the fairy tale genre to stress critical issues of the Victorian period: the challenge of the established Christian socio-moral order, the rising of the bourgeois industrial society, and the advent of aestheticism as a response. Using the close reading technique supported by the Victorian socio-historical background, the analysis establishes that the criticism proceeds by double associations. Firstly, the clear structure of the tale, enriched by a plethora of aesthetical features and suitable narrative processes, is propitious for children’s access to a message calling for more human generosity. Meanwhile, subtle analogies to the Christian imagery appear blurred by paradoxical elements. This prevents a definite religious interpretation from adults to which those messages are intended. Secondly, in connection with aestheticism, a social and moral criticism takes the form of a satire of the utilitarian vision of the bourgeoisie and a questioning of the common Victorian beliefs: the link between beauty and moral integrity, as well as the moral code of femininity. Finally, the utilitarian discourse and the disapproval of the research for pleasure from beauty merging with a hedonist vision, advocate an “art for art’s sake” free of these respective considerations.

This thesis examines the meanings and uses of the impression in the essays and late novels of Henry James. While James found fault with impressionism in French painting and literature, he repeatedly called the novel an ‘impression of life’, and used the term to figure important moments of perception and action for his protagonists. This thesis offers the first full-length study of the impression on its own terms, rather than through the lens of a wider artistic or philosophical movement, the most obvious example being impressionism. It locates James’s impression within an intertextual history comprising British empiricist philosophy (Locke and Hume), empiricist psychology (William James), British aestheticism (Pater and Wilde), and, looking forwards, twentieth-century theories of the performative (Austin, Derrida, de Man, Butler). It offers a series of close readings of James’s non-fictional and fictional treatments of the impression in his early criticism and travel writing (1872-88), his prefaces to the New York edition (1907-09), and the three novels of his major phase, The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902), and The Golden Bowl (1904). This exploration does not produce any unified definition of the impression in the work of James. It finds, rather, that the impression crystallizes one of James’s main themes, the struggle between art and life, a consequence of the competing empiricist and aesthetic tendencies that the thesis distinguishes within accounts of the impression available to James. The thesis goes on to show that impressions in James may be made as well as received, and so introduces a further distinction, between ‘performative’ and ‘cognitive’ impressions. It argues that what James does with these competing impressions – empiricist and aesthetic, cognitive and performative – is to make them the narrative focus of his late novels and their drama of consciousness.

Ce mémoire traite de l’enseignement de la danse africaine en France et au Canada. Cette recherche a débuté en 2007, lorsque l’auteur a participé à un échange étudiant. À la fin de cette expérience, l’auteur en était arrivé à la conclusion que la danse africaine au Québec était abordée comme un bien de consommation et/ou une production socioculturelle relevant de l’imaginaire. La présente analyse explore les avantages et les limites de l’approche méthodologique adoptée par l’anthropologue (qui est, dans ce cas-ci, une ancienne danseuse classique), et les conditions de la rencontre entre les Africains et les occidentaux par la danse. Tandis qu’il reste à démontrer que les critiques postmodernes de l’art de masse s’appliquent dans ce cas-ci, l’analyse montre ici clairement que l’on trouve dans les cours de danse africaine au Québec une forme de conscience professionnelle. Les critiques de la danse et de d’autres formes de démocratisations artistiques tendent à se confondre dans la peur du discours populaire. L’objectif principal de cette recherche est par conséquent d’établir les limites du fétichisme par rapport à la danse africaine et d’explorer en détail les implications de la « hantise du Troisième Homme » communiquée par la recherche ethnographique et l’analyse anthropologique / This thesis deals with the teaching of African dance in France and in Canada. The research for this thesis began in 2007, when the author took part in a student exchange and ended with a consideration of African dance in Quebec as a consumer good and/or an imaginary sociocultural production. The analysis explores the benefits and the limits of the methodological approach embraced by the anthropologist (who is, in this case, a former dancer with training in classical dance), and the terms of the encounter between Africans and Westerners through dance. While it remains to be shown that the post-modernist critiques of mass art apply to this context, the analysis here points to the presence of a professional consciousness in African dance lessons in Quebec. Critiques of dance and other arts as democratization tend to get lost in the fear of popular discourse. The main objective of this research is therefore to establish the limits of the fetishism associated with African dance and to discuss in further detail the « hantise du Troisième Homme », communicated by ethnographic research and anthropological analysis

The national question was, in general, related to the idea of delay. At the end of the century and early nineteenth century XX, the national question and the alleged delay in Brazil was explained from the bio-psychological paradigm, the ideology of national character. The criticisms of anthropology and sociology to that paradigm, at the beginning of the century XX caused its gradual weakening and, later, its downfall, in Brazil, driven by the work of Caio Prado Junior. During the second half of the century XX, in the 50s and 60s, the bio-psychological paradigm gave rise to economic development. Since then, the national question before explained from racial elements, or the relationship between race and environment, has to be explained by the economic position of Brazil in relation to nations considered developed. In this context comes into play Development and Culture, written by Mario Vieira de Mello in 1963 to join the dialogue on the country's development. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of Mario Vieira de Mello, his work Development and Culture, and his notion of aestheticism in Brazilian culture to the understanding of the national question. / A questão nacional foi constantemente problematizada pelo pensamento nacional. Em geral a questão nacional esteve relacionada à ideia de atraso. No fim do séc. XIX e início do séc. XX, a questão nacional e o suposto atraso brasileiro foram explicados a partir do paradigma bio-psicológico, pela ideologia do caráter nacional. As críticas da antropologia e da sociologia ao referido paradigma, no início do séc. XX, causou seu gradual enfraquecimento e, posteriormente, sua derrocada, no Brasil, impulsionada pelos trabalhos de Caio Prado Júnior. Durante a segunda metade do séc. XX, nas décadas de 50 e 60, o paradigma bio-psicológico deu origem ao econômico. A partir de então, a questão nacional, antes explicada a partir de elementos raciais, ou da relação entre a raça e o meio, passou a ser explicada pela posição econômica do Brasil em relação às nações consideradas desenvolvidas. É neste contexto que entra em cena Desenvolvimento e Cultura, escrita por Mario Vieira de Mello em 1963 para participar do diálogo sobre o desenvolvimento do país. O propósito deste trabalho é verificar a participação de Mario Vieira de Mello, sua obra Desenvolvimento e Cultura, e de sua noção de estetismo na cultura brasileira para a compreensão da questão nacional.

台灣在文化與流行方面一向受鄰近國日本的影響，舉凡服飾流行、音樂、電影、動漫等，其中影響青少年最大的應該可以說是動漫畫，近幾十年來，動漫畫中的「耽美文學」，又可以說是一股在台灣出版界新興的文體類型。 「BL」漫畫即指「Boy's Love」，又稱耽美漫畫。原本是指女性漫畫家創作給女性讀者看的「少年愛」漫畫，內容以美貌男子之間的愛情為主。BL漫畫算是少女漫畫中比較另類的內容類型，內容唯美浪漫，而「耽美」的日文原意就是「唯美主義」。日本耽美漫畫在台灣從單純的閱讀，到現在發展出作家、網站、同人團體、甚至還有專門的商業出版社；而出版的物品，也從當初的日文翻譯漫畫、動畫到現在國人自行創作的漫畫、小說、周邊產品等。在台灣的耽美迷中，可以初分為兩種：一種只是純粹的耽美文本閱聽人，另一種除了閱聽文本外，還會主動衍生新的創作與文本，而在這些耽美迷的衍生文本中，居然有大半是台灣本土霹靂布袋戲迷所創作的耽美文本。 台灣的本土布袋戲為何會跟耽美牽上關係？日本式的耽美到了台灣又有什麼樣的變化？而這在台灣本土形成的新型耽美中佔最大比率的文本─「霹靂耽美文本」，竟也被日本耽美迷所承認，在日本有了台灣霹靂耽美文本的閱聽人。本研究將從日本的耽美文化在台灣的演化，以及文化逆流的現象，勾勒出一個屬於台灣在地耽美文化的輪廓。 關鍵字：漫畫、動漫、同人誌、Boy's Love(BL)、霹靂布袋戲 / The culture and fashion of Taiwan are historically influenced by Japan. Among many, the Slash Literature, or ‘Boy’s Love’ (BL), is one of rising style in recent decades. BL, which originally means ‘aestheticism’ in Japanese, features aesthetic and romantic in its content. While it is an alternative to mainstream style, BL allures remarkable amount of audience. The audience can be distinguished into two types: passive receiver on the one hand and active creator on the other. Surprisingly, most of the active creator of derivative BL context comes from enthusiasts of Pili Hand Puppet Show, a traditional Taiwanese culture. The locally shaped ‘Pili BL context’ not only is the most popular one in derivative BL context in Taiwan, but is recognized by Japanese BL enthusiasts. Thus, ‘Pili BL context’ is the countercurrent of BL culture back to Japan. This phenomenon prompts research questions of this study: how does Taiwanese Hand Puppet Show relate to BL? What are the transformations of Japanese BL adapted in Taiwan? To answer these questions, this study will investigate the evolution of Japanese BL culture in Taiwan and the countercurrent of ‘Pili BL context’ and will seek to contour the local BL culture of Taiwan. Keywords: Slash Literature, BL, Aestheticism, Subculture, Pili Hand Puppet Show.

This dissertation examines Lennart Sjögren’s conception of life as revealed through his poetry and other written documents. Light is shed on his writings in three chapters, with an Introduction that opens the investigations, and a Conclusion that sums up the findings. His collection of poetry Ur männisovärlden (2008, From the world of the living) is commented upon in an epilogue. Chapter Two analyses the collection Havet (1974, The Sea), focussing on Sjögren’s view of nature and his imagery. A religious tone can be apparent throughout the poems. In earlier centuries, poems about migratory birds often gained in authenticity via their Christian context. In a secularised age, ecological insights add to the credibility of the poems. Chapter Three is an analysis and interpretation of Sjögren’s collection of poems Fågeljägarna (1997, The Bird Catchers), as well as of the intra- and intertexts that the reader meets in his writings and that, for various reasons, serve to make Sjögren’s poetic voice so distinctive. In a series of subsections the uniqueness of Fågeljägarna is defined by means of a comparison with ecology, secularisation (secularism), nihilism, religion and mythology. In addition, there is a discussion of the “poetry of place” and a final analysis of what unites and divides Sjögren and K. E. Løgstrup, regarding a poetic understanding of life. Independent of the ideological direction that is identi-fied, this cycle of poems is marked by an elegiac mood. The poem “Dagen före plöjarens kväll” (1984, “The Day before the Plough-man’s Evening”) from the eponymous collection of poems is an example of an ekphrasis (a transformation of images). Chapter Four makes a close reading of this poem, for which Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s picture “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” is a model. Four interpretative hypotheses are advanced: a moral, ontological, theological and a folkloristic one. The interpretation of the poem points out that the dialogue is not merely the poet’s private affair – the reader is also invited to take an active part in the discussion, now with the picture and the ekphrasis as prerequisites. The chapter contains a further three analyses of ekphrasis dealing with other poems from the collection Dagen före plöjarens kväll.
