Throughout Victoria's reign, Lord Lindsay and his son Ludovic, respectively twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth earls of Crawford, created one of the largest private libraries ever assembled in Britain. The Bibliotheca Lindesiana included some six thousand manuscripts, which Ludovic sold to Enriqueta Rylands in 1901 for £155,000. The principal problematic that I address in this thesis is: Why did the earls of Crawford invest vast amounts of financial and cultural capital in this endeavour? In other words, what factors - both structural and specific - led to the formation of the library, what purposes did it serve, and what roles did its manuscript components in particular perform? Other questions include: How - and how successfully - did Lindsay and Ludovic maintain physical and intellectual control over the rapidly growing library? How did they position themselves within networks of connoisseurship and collecting in Victorian Britain? How was the formation of the Oriental manuscript collections connected with Lindsay's interest in racial classification and with wider racial discourses? And how did the library reflect and reinforce Lindsay's identity as a gentleman-scholar? Previous studies of this and other manuscript collections have adhered to an antiquarian, bio-bibliographical model, focusing on the detailed matter and mechanisms of collecting, rather than exploring the socio-cultural and epistemological contexts of their development. This thesis, by contrast, constitutes the first extended application of cultural theory to a manuscript collection, or indeed to any private library, in the nineteenth century. I combine close archival work with Bourdieu's concepts of field, capital and habitus to reveal the complex structuration and signification of the library, and to investigate the imbrication between the earls' personal agency and wider forces operating upon the library. My examination of the Bibliotheca Lindesiana has uncovered several key issues and themes hitherto unexplored in this or any other major private library of the nineteenth century. First, I argue that the reasons for the library's development reside principally in various forms of classification, which preoccupied Lindsay and reflected wider societal trends and taxonomies: the classification of libraries and the ramification of knowledge; Lindsay's deployment of the library to corroborate his and his family's social and cultural distinction (i.e. social classification); and an interest in racial classification, which reflected Orientalist discourses associated with imperialism. Secondly, while the dispersal of aristocratic collections in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is a familiar trope, this study is the first to contextualize the decline of a private library within the struggle between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Finally, this is the first examination of the impact of professionalization upon private as opposed to public libraries, revealing the tensions between amateur traditions and growing professionalism and specialization in the nineteenth century. I thus 'read' through the library some of the wider socio-economic and cultural issues operating in Victorian Britain and its empire.

It was presented a brief historic of the birth of photography and after, an introduction of the ideas of Walter Benjamin, specially his considerations about the work of art and its technical reproduction. Subsequently, it was introduced the considerations about photography developed by French philosopher Roland Barthes in his famous book Camera Lucida . It was examined the work of plastic artist Rosângela Rennó in the light of these philosopher s works. The analysis is about a specific work, Bibliotheca a compiled images redeemed by artist and reused as support for the development of her artistic universe. The issue of photography as a possibility of memory rescue, the massification of photographic images and the appropriation of existing images resignified in the art guided this dissertation / O presente trabalho possui como objetivo a discussão sobre o estatuto da imagem fotográfica, seus usos e características a partir da análise da obra da artista plástica Rosângela Rennó e das abordagens de dois pensadores, Walter Benjamin e Roland Barthes. Tratamos inicialmente de um breve histórico do nascimento da fotografia e posteriormente uma introdução ao pensamento de Walter Benjamin, especialmente suas considerações acerca da obra de arte e sua técnica de reprodução. Posteriormente a isso introduzimos as considerações sobre fotografia elaboradas pelo pensador francês Roland Barthes em seu célebre livro A Câmara Clara . Examinamos a obra da artista plástica Rosângela Rennó sob a luz das teorias dos pensadores em questão. A análise destina-se a uma obra específica, a Bibliotheca , um compilado de imagens resgatadas pela artista e reutilizadas como suporte para o desenvolvimento do seu universo artístico. A questão da fotografia como possibilidade de resgate da memória, a massificação das imagens fotográficas e a apropriação de imagens existentes ressignificadas na arte pautam a presente dissertação

Through this study it is hoped to understand better and in greater depth the contributions of psychology to education, which aimed at the formation of a pedagogical culture on the child, especially in the 1920s and 30s. By means of an analysis of two select works: Adolphe Ferriere s The Biogenetic law and the active school and Lourenço Filho s Testes ABC para verificação da maturidade necessária à aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita, an effort was made to focus on the theories and pedagogical formulations, arising out of a psychological knowledge which at that time very possibly contributed to sustaining, informing and producing a concept of the child. These studies indicate that the formulations proposed in this discussion present a perspective on learning which, as a rule, subordinates the child to a psychometric perspective, while highlighting the school as a socializing institution. Given this fact, there is evidence that the knowledge of experimental psychology, proposed in these studies, would favor the mechanisms for social advancement, legitimized by psycho-technical procedures, which, in the name of science, were spread and disseminated among Brazilian educators / Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar e investigar um projeto editorial pioneiro, voltado para a formação do professorado brasileiro, a Coleção Bibliotheca de Educação , dirigida e organizada por Lourenço Filho. Com isso, espera-se conhecer mais profundamente uma das contribuições da psicologia para a educação, que visam à formação de uma cultura pedagógica sobre a criança, especialmente nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. Buscou-se trazer à tona, por intermédio da análise de duas obras selecionadas: A lei biogenética e a escola ativa, de Adolphe Ferriére, e Testes ABC para verificação da maturidade necessária à aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita, de Lourenço Filho, as teorias e as formulações pedagógicas, oriundas de um conhecimento psicológico que, possivelmente, contribuíram, naquele momento, para sustentar, informar e engendrar uma concepção de criança. Essas obras indicam que as formulações propostas nesses discursos trazem uma perspectiva de aprendizagem que, via de regra, subordina a criança a uma perspectiva psicométrica, destacando a escola como instituição socializadora. Frente a isto, há evidências de que o conhecimento da psicologia experimental, proposto nessas obras, posiciona-se favorável aos mecanismos de adaptação social, legitimados por procedimentos psicotécnicos que, em nome da ciência, foram divulgados e veiculados aos educadores brasileiros

La Bibliothèque d’Apollodore, probablement composée au IIe ou au IIIe s. ap. J.-C., vise à rassembler les légendes et les mythes grecs en un système cohérent organisé selon un plan généalogique. Son auteur fonde son travail sur les écrits qui faisaient autorité en la matière, en particulier ceux des grands mythographes en prose du Ve s., parmi lesquels Phérécyde et Acousilaos sont les plus souvent nommés par Apollodore. Ce travail se propose d’analyser les rapports entre ces deux mythographes anciens et la Bibliothèque. Il examine chaque mention de leur nom dans cet ouvrage, et confronte tous leurs fragments au texte de la Bibliothèque, afin de comprendre pourquoi Apollodore choisit de les nommer ou, au contraire, de ne pas le faire ; pourquoi il les suit ou pourquoi il s’en écarte ; quelle place ils occupent réellement dans son traité. Plus largement, ce travail présente une réflexion sur les liens génériques entre la Bibliothèque et les mythographes anciens, en examinant en particulier la question de leur écriture, afin de comprendre comment Apollodore se situe par rapport aux premiers traités mythographiques grecs. / Apollodorus’ Library, probably written during the 2nd or 3rd century A. D., aims at gathering Greek legends and myths in a coherent system based upon a genealogical structure. Its author bases his work on the most authoritative sources, including prestigious 5th-century mythographers as Pherecydes and Acusilaus, whose names are the most mentioned ones in Apollodorus’ treatise, along with Hesiod’s. This work analyses the links between those two ancient mythographers and the Library. It takes a close look at every mention of their name, and compares all their fragments to Apollodorus’ text, in order to understand how and why he cites them or not ; why he draws on them or chooses other sources ; what is their real influence on his treatise. This study also offers a reflection about the links between the Library and the ancient mythographical tradition as a genre, mainly on the basis of their respective style.
