The aim of this article is to analyse allegories in the first four novels of the Swahili-writing author Euphrase Kezilahabi who is one of the most renowned authors in contemporary Tanzania. This analysis will be based on allegory as it is defined in literary studies. What is aimed at with this study is a hermeneutical interpretative approach to the allegories found in Kezilahabi`s early novels which shall be based on as much contexts as available: text-context, intertextual context, cultural context, historical context, only to mention the most important (cf. Mohlig 1994: 257). The text-context or co-text, however, is considered as the most reliable basis of such a study.

Esta é, como se sabe, elemento central de uma forma de interpretação bíblica, sedimentada já na Antigüidade cristã, segundo a qual o Antigo Testamento é uma prefiguração do Novo, a compreensão dos dois tornando possível a apreensão de acontecimentos futuros. Nos autos vicentinos, ela é incorporada como elemento de sua composição. Neste sentido, nosso principal objetivo é descrever como a interpretação teológica, pautada pela alegoria factual, torna-se elemento cênico e poético na constituição das referidas peças / Abstract: The present dissertation analyzes three vicentines¿ works ¿ Auto da Sibila Cassandra (1512/13?), Breve Sumário da História de Deus (1527?) and Auto da Cananéia (1534) ¿, which present important analogies with the liturgics representation of the end of Medieval Times and assimilate a theological vision of the History characterized for the presence of the factual allegory. This is, as known, central element of a biblical interpretation¿s method, already known in the Christian Antiquity, which the Old Testament is a preview of the New, the comprehension of both making possible the apprehension of the futures happenings. In the vicentines¿ works, it is incorporated as part (element) of the composition. In this way, the main objective is to describe how theological interpretation, marked for the factual allegory, becomes poetic and scenic element in the construction of the plays / Mestrado / Literatura Portuguesa / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

This study will argue that visual art and the making of images share much With other languages. If writing can be deoonstructed, visual Imagery can be deconfigured, for figuring an image is much like structuring a sentence. The process of deconfiguration however relies on repetition. DeconflguratiOn therefore denies any claim of a primary creator. It will be argued though that deconfiguratlon remains creative as it engages the imagination in a process of transference and through association. Moreover, deconfiguration shows how binary opposites are essential In the making of artworks. The repetitive process takes place when the artwork Is made and continues during the appreciation and/or interpretation of the artwork. For the interpretation to really deconfigure, it would mean that the image constituted by the artist has metaphorical, allegorical and even symbolical implications. The interpreter will thus always remain a partidpant in the creative process suggested by the artwork. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)

As the central hypothesis for studying the dialectics of cordiality, we find that the use of allegories, metaphors, and dialectical images, among other important matrixes which are present in several Walter Benjamin's writings, convenes for existing issues in Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's Raízes do Brasil and Visão do Paraíso, allowing it to detect major elective affinities between both authors. Those go from a narrative, fragmentary style to the criticism and overcoming necessity both of historical versions and domination forms and practices present in the Brazilian social and political trajectory. When taken in its dialectical sense, cordiality may be read as an existing powerful allegory in SBH's thinking, once it points out the understanding of the Brazilian societal configuration's political and cultural features / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal investigar e reconstruir algumas das principais reflexões de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e Walter Benjamin, buscando afinidades eletivas (sinônimo de transversalidades ou convergências teóricas), que encontram sua correspondência maior no tema da cordialidade. Como hipótese central para o estudo da dialética da cordialidade, consideramos que o emprego de alegorias, metáforas e imagens dialéticas, dentre outras matrizes importantes presentes em vários escritos de Walter Benjamin convergem para questões presentes em Raízes do Brasil e Visão do Paraíso de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, permitindo detectar afinidades eletivas importantes entre esses os dois autores. Essas vão desde um estilo narrativo e fragmentário e alcançam a crítica e necessidade de superação das versões históricas difundidas pelas classes dominantes como meio de estabelecer a sua hegemonia sobre os oprimidos. Quando tomada em seu sentido dialético, a cordialidade pode ser lida como uma poderosa alegoria presente no pensamento de SBH, pois aponta para a compreensão das especificidades políticas e culturais da configuração societária brasileira

Société ”iconique” par excellence, les Provinces-Unies au XVIIe siècle sont un espace où la représentation graphique envahit le quotidien. Parallèlement, le mariage est une institution au cœur d’un processus de réhabilitation et de cristallisation confessionnelle de dispositions dogmatiques et disciplinaires. Il constitue en outre une expérience anthropologique fondamentale, dont chacun fait l’expérience, comme acteur ou spectateur. Dans cette perspective, les images du mariage innervent toute la culture visuelle de la société néerlandaise et sont au croisement d’enjeux sociaux, religieux et politiques, perceptibles à différentes échelles, par la symbolique qu’elles mettent en jeu et les usages sociaux qui en sont faits. Comment les différences confessionnelles s’y articulent-elles ? Comment les distinctions sociales s’y manifestent-elles ? Quels bénéfices symboliques les usages métaphoriques visuels du mariage permettent-ils d’obtenir pour les acteurs sociaux ? Enfin comment ces images fonctionnent-elles vis-à-vis du lecteur-spectateur ? A travers un corpus de sources très divers (livres ou brochures illustrés, feuilles volantes, mais aussi peintures ou médailles), la thèse répond à ces questions en examinant successivement comment les images accompagnent les discours prescriptifs sur le mariage, la façon dont elles sont mobilisées lors des noces des élites urbaines et lors de la célébration des noces princières, mais aussi comment elles permettent de donner métaphoriquement corps au lien entre le croyant et Dieu ou, paradoxalement, à celui entre le Prince d’Orange et la Patrie, dans un système politique revendiqué comme une République. / "Iconic" society par excellence, the United Provinces in the seventeenth century is a place where images play a tremendous role in daily life. Meanwhile, marriage is an institution at the heart of a rehabilitation process and of a differentiation process of confessional identities involving dogmatic and disciplinary provisions. It is also a fundamental anthropological experience, experienced by everybody in the society, be it as actor or spectator. In this perspective, the matrimonial images pervade the whole visual culture of Dutch society and are at the crossroads of social, religious and political issues, at different scales, through the symbolics they involve and the social uses they are submitted to. How are confessional differences articulated to them? How are social distinctions manifested? What symbolic benefits do social actors get out of visual metaphors of marriage? Finally, how do these images interact with the reader-viewer? Through a diverse corpus of sources (illustrated books or pamphlets, single-leaf engravings, but also paintings and medals), the thesis addresses these questions by examining successively how images accompany prescriptive discourses on marriage, how they are involved in the urban elites weddings and during wedding festivities for princes, but also how they can metaphorically embody the link between the believer and God, or, paradoxically, that between the Prince of Orange and the Fatherland, in a political system claimed to be a Republic.
