131	Neo-Latin America : the poetics of the "New World" in early modern epic : studies in José Manuel Peramás's 'De Invento Novo Orbe Inductoque Illuc Christi Sacrificio' (Faenza 1777) Feile Tomes, Maya Caterina January 2018 (has links) This is an investigation of the epic poetry produced in and about the Ibero-American world during the early modern period (sixteenth to eighteenth centuries) in trilingual perspective: in addition to the more familiar Spanish- and Portuguese-language texts, consideration is also––and, for the purposes of the thesis, above all––given to material in Latin. Latin was the third of the international literary languages of the Iberian imperial world; it is also by far the most neglected, having fallen between the cracks of modern disciplinary boundaries in their current configurations. The thesis seeks to rehabilitate the Latin-language component as a fully-fledged member of the Ibero-American epic tradition, arguing that it demands to be analysed with reference not only to the classical and classicising traditions but to those same themes and concerns––in this case, the centre\|periphery binary––as are investigated for counterparts when in Spanish or Portuguese. The crucial difference is that––while the ends may be the same––the means of thematising these issues derive in form and signifying power from interactions with the conceptual vocabularies and frameworks of the Greco-Roman epic tradition. How is America represented and New World space figured––even produced––in a poetic idiom first developed by ancient Mediterranean cultures with no conception whatsoever of the continent of the western hemisphere? At the core is one such long neglected Ibero-American Latin-language epic by a figure who lived across the Iberian imperial world: the 'De Invento Novo Orbe Inductoque Illuc Christi Sacrificio' (Faenza, 1777) by Catalan-born Jesuit José Manuel Peramás. Peramás’s epic––which has never been the subject of a literary-critical study before––is offered as a test case: an exercise in analysing a Latin-language Hispanic epic qua Hispanic epic and setting it into Ibero-American literary-cultural context. This is to be understood in relation to the field of so-called ‘New World poetics’: an at present emergent zone of inquiry within Iberian colonial studies which until now has been developing almost completely without reference to the Latin-language portion of the corpus.

Е., Mamykina, E. E. January 2023 (has links) Тема данной диссертации – «Падение и возрождение “града и мира” в литературе XV-XVII вв.», сама работа посвящена осмыслению темы падения городов на материале «Повести о разорении Рязани», «Повести о взятии Царьграда» и «Казанской истории». В рамках исследования были выделены общие и особенные мотивы, использующиеся в соответствии с авторским целеполаганием, соотнесена сюжетная составляющая памятников в соответствии с проблемами исторических ситуаций. Для более полного понимания вопроса были изучены некоторые аспекты урбанистики, что позволило увидеть своеобразие средневекового взгляда на город, а также были привлечены тексты Священного писания для более полного понимания всех смыслов, вкладываемых средневековым человеком в понятие города. / The topic of this dissertation is "The fall and rebirth of the "city and the world" in the literature of the XV–XVII centuries", the work itself is devoted to understanding the theme of the fall of cities on the material of "The Tale of the destruction of Ryazan", "The Tale of the capture of Tsargrad" and "Kazan History". Within the framework of the study, general and special motives used in accordance with the author's goal-setting were identified, the plot component of monuments was correlated in accordance with the problems of historical situations. For a more complete understanding of the issue, some aspects of urbanism were studied, which made it possible to see the uniqueness of the medieval view of the city, and the texts of the Holy Bible were also involved for a more complete understanding of all the meanings put by a medieval person into the concept of a city.

134	A historical, geographical and archaeological survey of the Jordan Valley in the Late Bronze Age Schaaf, James Mark 08 1900 (has links) This thesis is a multi-disciplinary survey of the Central Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age (1500-1200 BC) illustrated with an abundant use of maps and tables. The purpose is to determine how the Jordan Valley functioned as an economic unit during the Late Bronze Age. This thesis surveys the geographical, historical and archaeological records related to the Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age. A chapter is devoted to each field, geography (physical and human), history (Egyptian and Hebrew Bible) and archaeology. The data from each discipline is used to individually answer two questions: 1) was the Jordan Valley a single geographic/economic unit in the Late Bronze Age? 2) to what extent was the Jordan Valley integrated/interacting with the east-west highlands and the larger region in the Late Bronze Age? The primary objectives are to 1) explore and model a historical geographic hermeneutic for understanding the human experience of the Ancient Near East; and 2) lay a foundation for understanding the role of the Jordan Valley in affecting the Biblical periods of the Israelite monarchy to the Roman period.The answers from each chapter are then synthesized into a single geographic historical archaeological picture of the Central Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age. The Central Jordan Valley was divided into two sections: a fertile, populated, well connected north-central section and an isolated, sparsely populated southern section with limited agricultural zones. Trade with and between the eastern and western highlands is well represented by artifactual parallels in and through the Jordan Valley, the north-central section on a regional and international scale and the southern section on a more local scale. The thesis concludes that there are more artifactual points of connection between the Jordan Valley and the eastern highlands than with the western highlands. An ‘early conquest’ model of the Hebrew Bible is plausible within the historical records of the Egyptian 18th and 19th Dynasties and the geographical and archaeological records of the Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies Amarna Letters ‘Apiru Central Jordan Valley Chocolate-on-White ware Climate of Jordan Valley Early Conquest Model Earthquakes in the Jordan Valley Egypt in the Jordan Valley Emergence of Israel Geology of Jordan Valley Hydrology of Jordan Valley Israel in the Jordan Valley Jordan River Jordan River Floods Joshua Judges Late Bronze Age Maps of Jordan Valley Plains of Moab Rain shadow of Jordan Valley Shasu Topography of Jordan Valley Trade in the Late Bronze Age 18th and 19th Dynasties 933 Bible -- Antiquities Tell el-Amarna tablets Jordan River Valley -- Antiquities Bronze age -- Jordan River Valley Hydrology -- Jordan River Valley Water-supply -- Jordan River Valley Water and civilization

136	Through the Eyes of Shamans: Childhood and the Construction of Identity in Rosario Castellanos' "Balun-Canan" and Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me, Ultima" Nava, Tomas Hidalgo 09 July 2004 (has links) (PDF) This study offers a comparative analysis of Rosario Castellanos' Balún-Canán and Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima, novels that provide examples on how children construct their identity in hybrid communities in southeastern Mexico and the U.S. southwest. The protagonists grow and develop in a context where they need to build bridges between their European and Amerindian roots in the middle of external influences that complicate the construction of a new mestizo consciousness. In order to attain that consciousness and free themselves from their divided selves, these children receive the aid of an indigenous mentor who teaches them how to establish a dialogue with their past, nature, and their social reality. The protagonists undertake that negotiation by transgressing the rituals of a society immersed in colonial dual thinking. They also create mechanisms to re-interpret their past and tradition in order to create an image of themselves that is not imposed by the status quo. In both novels, the protagonists have to undergo similar processes to overcome their identity crises, including transculturation, the creation of sites of memory, and a transition from orality to writing. Each of them resorts to creative writing and becomes a sort of shaman who pulls together the "spirits" from the past, selects them, and organizes them in a narration of childhood that is undertaken from adulthood. The results of this enterprise are completely different in the cases of both protagonists because the historical and social contexts vary. The boy in Bless Me, Ultima can harmoniously gather the elements to construct his identity, while the girl in Balún-Canán fails because of the pressures of a male-centered and highly racist society.
