Orientador: Nelson Luís Ramos / Resumo: A tese que se pretende defender, na comparação entre as obras (Cemitério dos vivos (1956), de Lima Barreto e Recordações da casa dos mortos (1862), de Fiódor Dostoievski, é a de que os diferentes lugares de onde narram os narradores protagonistas têm idêntica função procedimental: são lugares onde vozes dissonantes e contraditórias têm liberdade de se expressar apesar da repressão; a liberdade acaba sendo a característica fundamental e basilar nesses ambientes, a saber: o hospício e a prisão. Considera-se que, neste contexto, “cemitério dos vivos” e “casa dos mortos” são expressões sinonímicas: representam, ambos, o lugar onde os indesejados são postos para que fiquem separados e esquecidos do restante da sociedade. Entretanto, nestes locais, os narradores encontram espaço para expressar suas opiniões, tornando-se vozes discordantes e fazendo de seus claustros, lugares de existência do contraditório. Em Cemitério dos vivos prevalece a angústia, a culpa, a dor, o sofrimento, decorrentes da introspecção do protagonista Vicente Mascarenhas. É de grande pertinência a comparação entre ambas pois, pelo título, já demonstram interessante diálogo: quem são estas pessoas que habitam a “casa dos mortos” e o “cemitério dos vivos”? Por que estão mortas em vida? Trata-se da morte pelo ostracismo, silêncio como punição para os diferentes e os contraditórios. A busca pela homogeneidade pede lugares como estes. Importante estar atento para estes protagonistas narrando o horror do “inenarráve...

It is considered that, in this context, "cemetery of the living" and "house of the dead" are synonymous expressions: both represent the place where the unwanted are placed so that they are separated and forgotten from the rest of society. However, in these places, narrators find space to express their opinions, becoming discordant voices and making their cloisters places of existence of the contradictory. In the Cemetery of the Living, the anguish, the guilt, the pain, the suffering, arising from the introspection of the protagonist Vicente Mascarenhas, prevails. The comparison between the two is of great relevance because, by the title, they already show an interesting dialogue: who are these people who inhabit the "house of the dead" and the "cemetery of the living"? Why are they dead in life? It is death by ostracism, silence as a punishment for those who are different and contradictory. The search for homogeneity asks for places like these. It is ...

Based on the premises that these women freely decide to live in cloisters, a deep analysis of the social context and the role they play in this context is done. Through these women s lives we can observe certain elements that may indicate the reasons for their choices. The research work was developed in Ordem das Carmelitas Descalças monastery in São Paulo s countryside aiming at finding records about the essay s subject. Through the life report of five lady monks plus a questionnaire focusing on indications of the social-economic level of the monastery population it was possible to better understand the life style of the monastery. The results seem to indicate important reasons related to their family biodata, as well as a possible lack of life perspectives of these women as fundamental elements of their choices. Besides that the essay leads to the need of further investigation focusing on different aspects of life in cloisters and its relationship with society / O presente estudo aborda a vida religiosa feminina em clausura no Brasil e procura identificar elementos que motivam, ainda hoje, mulheres a escolher esse estilo de vida. Partindo do princípio que essas mulheres realizam livremente a opção de viver em clausura, analisa-se o contexto social atual onde as mesmas encontram-se inseridas, bem como os papéis e a identidade que lhe são atribuídos. Através da trajetória de vida dessas mulheres, observa-se alguns elementos que podem ser indicativos das motivações nessa escolha. Com o intuito de obter dados sobre a temática, o trabalho empírico foi desenvolvido junto a um mosteiro de monjas da Ordem das Carmelitas Descalças, do interior do estado de São Paulo. Através da obtenção do relato da história de vida de cinco monjas e ainda da aplicação de questionário estruturado para a indicação do nível sócio-econômico da população do mosteiro, foi possível conhecer um pouco melhor o estilo de vida no convento. Os resultados parecem indicar a significativa influência de fatores biográficos e da estrutura familiar, bem como uma possível ausência de perspectiva na vida dessas mulheres como elementos definidores em suas escolhas. Além disso, o estudo aponta para a necessidade de novas investigações que abordem os diferentes aspectos da vida em clausura e a relação dessas mulheres com a sociedade

The first part of the paper deals with the mural paintings on a Christological theme decorating the northern and eastern walls of the High Gothic ambulatory, which is a part of the National cultural monument Přemyslid Castle. Last Judgement, Annunciation, Adoration of the Magi and Adoration of the Shepherds are depicted on the northern side of the cloister. On the opposite wall between the windows there is a representation of two donators. The eastern front of the ambulatory is decorated with scenes depicting the Crucifixion, Lamentation, Resurrection and Christ with the Arma Christi. Paintings are dated successively from the late 15th century to the first two decades of the 16th century. The different dating of paintings, of course, demonstrates various inspirational sources. The study also reflects many recent discoveries that reveal the origins of the decoration of the cloister. These paintings were probably commissioned by members of the Olomouc Chapter, who were in close contact with Humanistic Societas Maierhofiana. Further the paper focuses on the wall paintings in the John the Baptist' Chapel, where the scenes adorn not only the walls, but also the vault of the eastern field. The frescos were probably created between 1493 and 1517 by the hands of several painters.

They seek to embrace and understand the complexity of the man-made. They live alongside one another in a cluster - reflecting, synthesizing, producing and celebrating. They created their spaces and hierarchies through the basic principles of the wall and the column. The Sanctuary of the Man-made is an exploration of elements through a narrative that aims for a deeper understanding of human built complexity.

O claustro do mosteiro beneditino de Sant Benet de Bages, na Catalunha espanhola, é caracterizado pela grande quantidade e diversidade de elementos ornamentais esculpidos em seus capitéis, o que é um importante indício de como a ornamentação se constituía em tanto que instância fundamental para a estética medieval. No entanto, até hoje poucas pesquisas foram realizadas sobre este claustro, o que é revelador da pouca atenção dada pela historiografia da arte tradicional ao tema da ornamentação. De modo geral, as imagens medievais mais valorizadas enquanto objeto de estudo são as historiadas. Isso em muito se deve à supervalorização da ideia de Bíblia dos iletrados, em detrimento de uma análise mais profunda sobre a presença estrutural e da complexidade dos diversos elementos que compõem as imagens, dentre os quais, os elementos ornamentais. Os trabalhos existentes sobre o tema da ornamentação e sua presença nas imagens medievais são, com poucas exceções, superficiais, procurando categorizações estilísticas e raízes filológicas. Uma das exceções é a obra do medievalista e teórico da arte francês Jean-Claude Bonne, principal marco teórico de nossa pesquisa, e que cunhou os conceitos de ornamental e ornamentalidade. A partir destas noções é que nos dedicamos ao estudo do claustro de Sant Benet de Bages, considerando os papéis estruturantes da ornamentação na economia imagética medieval e a diversidade de funções que ela pode adquirir, relacionando-a ao contexto sócio-histórico onde foi produzida. / The cloister of the Benedictine monastery of Sant Benet de Bages, in the Spanish Catalonia, has a large number and diversity of ornamental elements in its capitals, what sets us a fertile field of study. The few studies on this cloister indicate little attention by art historians to ornamentation, generally engaged in studying the historiated images. This is greatly due to the overemphasis of the idea of images as a \"Bible of the illiterate\", at the expense of a deeper analysis on the structural presence and complexity of the various elements that compose the images, among which, the ornamental elements. The existing papers on the subject of ornamentation and its presence in medieval images are generally superficial, limited to studies for stylistic categorizations, occupying a marginal place because they are supposed to be additional and unnecessary elements. At Sant Benet de Bages, like some other Romanesque cloisters, the amount of ornamental capitals exceeds that of historiated, which reveals the possibility of ornamentation to constitute a critical field to the aesthetic functioning of medieval art. This research aims to study such elements present in the cloister considering their structuring aspects in medieval imagetic economy, and the diversity of functions that can carry the concepts of \"ornemental\" and \"ornementalité\", proposed by the medievalist and French art theorist Jean-Claude Bonne, opening new possibilities for their study.

Trois cloîtres attribués aux couvents de "Trie-sur-Baïse", "Bonnefont-en-Comminges" (aux Cloisters, New York) et "Montréjeau" (Paradise Island, Bahamas) furent remontés outre-Atlantique au cours du XXe siècle. L'installation moderne de tels monuments en Amérique nous incitent à nous intéresser à ce goût, exprimé dés le début du XXe siècle, pour l’architecture médiévale. Selon les premières attributions, les pierres proviendraient d'abbayes des Pyrénées centrales, dont les vestiges furent dispersés au cours de l'Histoire. Les troubles des guerres de Religion, l’abandon progressif des établissements par les communautés religieuses, l’aliénation de leur temporel pendant la Révolution portèrent un coup sévère à l’intégrité des bâtiments monastiques ; mais, de la période post-révolutionnaire jusqu’au début du XXe siècle, ce sont bien les discrètes transactions entre particuliers et antiquaires, qui firent disparaître de la mémoire collective l’origine même des pierres, particulièrement celles des cloîtres en marbre, convoitées pour leur décor. Identifier leur provenance fut l'enjeu majeur de cette étude. Ces marbres sculptés présentent un programme iconographique riche et varié : les ensembles de "Bonnefont-en-Comminges" et de "Montréjeau" proposent un décor de feuillage stylisé tandis que celui de "Trie-sur-Baïse" expose des scènes figurées originales. Mener une analyse de ces sculptures a permis de les restituer dans leur contexte architectural originel. / Three cloisters attributed to the monasteries of "Trie-sur-Baise", " Bonnefont-en-Comminges" (the Cloisters, New York) and "Montréjeau" (Paradise Island, Bahamas) were purchased by American collectors and rebuilt, during the XXth century, in North America. The modern assembly of such monuments generates interest on the taste of these American amateurs, from the beginning of XXth century, for medieval European architecture. While respectively attributed to the monasteries of "Trie-sur-Baise", "Bonnefont-en-Comminges" (the Cloisters, New York) and "Montréjeau" (Paradise Island, Bahamas), the initial attribution states that the stones were from central Pyrenees monasteries, whose ruins were scattered throughout ancient times : the Hundred-year war as well as the wars of religion, the gradual desertion of religious institutions by their communities during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries and, at last, the alienation of their properties during the Revolution seriously damaged the integrity of monastic buildings. However, during the post-revolutionary period until the early XXth century, many discrete transactions between individuals and antique dealers further took away the stones real origin from the collective memory, especially cloisters sculptures coveted for their ornament. Identifying the cloisters provenance was the main subject of this study. The three carved marbles present various iconography ; while the "Bonnefont-en-Comminges" and "Montréjeau" ensembles both show stylized foliage ornaments, the "Trie-sur-Baise" cloister depicts original figurative scenes. Carrying out an in-depth study of these sculptures made it possible to accurately associate the cloisters to their original architectural set and production context.

2011 führte uns eine von Henrik Karge und Susanne Müller‐Bechtel organisierte Katalonien‐Exkursion u. a. nach Lleida, um dort die Kathedrale zu besichtigen. Einige merkwürdige Baubefunde versuchte ich soweit möglich vor Ort zu dokumentieren, fotografisch und in Gedankenskizzen zu erfassen. Nachfolgend fertigte ich diesen Text, der für Jahre unbeachtet auf der Festplatte meines Rechners ruhen sollte. Erst im letzten Jahr entdeckte ich ihn wieder, schickte ihn Henrik zu, der sich interessiert zeigte, die Überlegungen dann sogar aufgriff, um sie auf einer Tagung in London vorzustellen und mit der dort versammelten Kollegenschaft zu diskutieren. Der Text ist vielleicht der Anfang für etwas, was uns künftig noch beschäftigen wird ... In schönster Erinnerung an meine Studien und Arbeitszeiten in Dresden, unsere gemeinsamen Lehrveranstaltungen, Exkursionen und Aktivitäten möchte ich diesen Beitrag mit herzlichstem Dank meinem Doktorvater Henrik Karge zu seinem 60. Geburtstag übereignen.

This thesis examines the relationship between French female Catholicism during the 17th century and representations of Huron women’s spirituality in Relations des Jésuites. I argue that the nuances of French dévote culture highlight the elevated status of women in Huron indigenous society. These portraits of Huron women by the Jesuits inspired French women to breach the cloister and become missionaries, resulting in newfound religious freedoms for dévotes achieved through imperialistic efforts against the Huron nation.
