Faute de travaux scientifiques, Constantine, capitale de l’Est algérien, a quelque peu disparu de la bibliographie archéologique ces dernières décennies. Il est vrai que l’étude archéologique en milieu urbain n’est pas aisée. Pour palier cette absence, cet exposé propose un état des lieux des travaux antérieurs sur le sujet, afin de mettre en place l’ébauche d’une recherche sur la topographie urbaine de la ville, dans l’Antiquité. Le point de départ de ce travail correspond à une prise de conscience de l’éparpillement des sources et de la difficulté à les consulter. Ainsi, regrouper les sources anciennes et récentes était nécessaire pour créer un répertoire de notices de découvertes, agrémentées ou non de planches. Ces notices forment chacune un site à reporter, dans la mesure du possible, sur une carte, elle-même divisée en plusieurs parties, correspondant à diverses sections, mises en place pour faciliter l’organisation de cette étude. Ce catalogue, première évaluation du potentiel archéologique de Constantine, permet finalement former quelques hypothèses qui pourront servir d’appuis aux travaux archéologiques à venir. / For lack of scientific works, Constantine, capital of eastern Algeria, has somewhat disappeared from the archeological bibliography these last decades. It is right to say that the archeological study in urban areas isn’t that easy. To overcome this lack of research, this presentation offers an inventory of fixtures of the previous works on the subject, in order to produce the outline of a research on the urban topography of the city, in Antiquity. The starting point of this work represents an awareness of the dispersal of the sources and the difficulty to consult them. Thus, gathering the old and the recent sources was necessary to create a notebook of discovery notes, accompanied or not by «boards». These notes each form a site to copy out, when possible on a map, that is divided in several parts, corresponding to different sections, made up to facilitate the organisation of this study. This catalog, first estimation of the archological potential of Constantine eventually allows us to establish a few hypothesis that will be used as a support for further archelogical research.

The study object is analysed in the Constantine film directed by Francis Lawrence, in 2005, like participate with other significant in the inter-semiotic way of the cinema, an audiovisual system, and of the Novel Magazine Hellblazer, a verb-visual printed system matter. The film counts the story of a antihero John Constantine how is a occultist and exorcist wizard capable to slide of the world of the men for the hell thanks for-normal gift skill with which he was born. The majority of the actors of the film, including proper it, acts alongside with the digital effect to fulfill its narrative program. To study this constituent of the film implies to treat it in the digital topology that organizes it from the way as the enunciater manifests to the one how receives the enunciated in an aesthetic arrangement of the expression mounted for strategies of articulation of the audiovisual. The digital effect operate as fruits of the plan of the sincretic expression of the audiovisual and, as a type of actors of the speech that it commands in the spaciality, the temporality and the actoriality, the significant movie constituent: audio and the visual; it materialize in the filmic space background with depth, perspective, third dimension, of which the one how receives the enunciated is installed text to integrate the tram. The semiotics developed around Algirdas Julien Greimas and its collaborators, theoretician and methodology skills, bases this construction of the meaning of the digital effect in the filmic text / A dissertação estuda o efeito digital e sua atuação em articulações sincréticas na produção de sentido do audiovisual enquanto significantes do plano da expressão. O objeto de estudo é analisado no filme Constantine dirigido por Francis Lawrence, em 2005, como resultado de uma produção intersemiótica do cinema, um sistema audiovisual, e da HQ Hellblazer, um sistema verbo-visual impresso de significação. O filme conta a estória de um anti-herói chamado John Constantine que é um mago ocultista e exorcista capaz de deslizar do mundo dos homens para o inferno graças a um dom para-normal com o qual nasceu. A maioria dos actantes do filme, incluindo ele próprio, contracena com os efeitos digitais para cumprir o seu programa narrativo. Estudar esse formante do discurso implica em tratá-lo na topologização do digital organizado a partir do modo como o enunciador os manifesta ao enunciatário em um arranjo estético da expressão montada por estratégias de enunciação do audiovisual. O efeito digital opera como fruto do plano da expressão sincrética do audiovisual e, também, como um tipo de actante do discurso que ordena na espacialidade, na temporalidade e na actorialidade, os significantes constituintes do sistema cinematográfico: o áudio e o visual; concretiza no espaço fílmico ambientações com profundidade, perspectiva, terceira dimensão, através dos quais o enunciatário é instalado na trama. A semiótica desenvolvida em torno dos estudos de Algirdas Julien Greimas e seus colaboradores, teórica e metodologicamente, fundamenta essa construção da significação do efeito digital no texto fílmico

<p>By the early fourth century Rome was more than a thousand years old and the historical <em>caput mundi</em> was, accordingly, steeped in long established traditions. It was these historical traditions and memories that served as paradigms for understanding present circumstances. One such paradigm was the relationship between Rome and her emperors. Traditionally, monarchical power was the antithesis of the Roman Republican model, yet Augustus uniquely altered this model and established a new acceptable paradigm wherein the emperor was the <em>princeps civitatis</em> and the patron to all Romans. This imperial patronage was characterized primarily by the commissioning of public buildings in the <em>Urbs</em> and the maintenance of Rome’s cults and traditions. Therefore, Rome was inextricably intertwined with the legitimacy, success (or failure), and longevity of an emperor’s reign. Throughout the third century, however, Rome was plagued by manifold crises and the paradigmatic relationship between Rome and her rulers began to break down, such that some scholars have suggested that from 293 CE and the establishment of the tetrarchy Rome became increasingly manifest wherever the emperors were, with the city itself becoming nothing more than a peripheral concern. The former line of argumentation, however, is often advanced with the belief that Rome’s diminishing importance was uninterrupted and invariable, often disregarding the evidence within the city itself and focusing on monumental evidence outside of Rome and across the empire. This thesis, then, by examining the evidence within the city of Rome and that pertaining to it, demonstrates that between 293 and 324 CE Rome’s marginalization was anything but consistent and that the city, with all its symbolic and actual power, was integral to Maxentius’ and Constantine’s legitimation policies. Moreover, this thesis also elucidates how Rome functioned in imperial thought for each regime, with old paradigms becoming malleable to accommodate new imperial policy.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

<p>According to the Syriac <italic>Acts of the Persian Martyrs</italic>, the Sasanian king Shapur II began persecuting Christians in Persia soon after Constantine's death in 337 CE. Previous studies of the <italic>Acts</italic> (and related material) set Shapur's persecution within the context of Constantine's support for Christianity in the Roman Empire. Religious allegiances are said to have been further amplified during the Roman-Persian war over Rome's Mesopotamian provinces that followed Constantine's death. According to most interpretations, by the mid-fourth century <italic>Christianitas</italic> had become coextensive with <italic>Romanitas</italic>: Persian Christians were persecuted because they worshipped Caesar's god and, thereby, allied themselves with Rome. </p><p>By contrast, this dissertation reconsiders Christian historical narratives, the rhetorical and identity-shaping nature of the martyrological genre, and assumptions about the clear divisions of religious groups in late antiquity. Although the notion of Christianity as a "Roman" religion can be found in some of the historiography of persecution in Persia, our knowledge about Christians in fourth-century Persia is a harmonized event history woven from a tapestry of vague and conflicting sources that often exhibit later religious, political, and hagiographical agendas. </p><p> </p><p>To demonstrate how Shapur's persecution came to be interpreted as the result of religious changes within the Roman Empire, the dissertation first reconsiders how Constantine is imagined as a patron of the Christians of Persia in Syriac and Greek sources. The second part looks at the ways by which constructed imperial ideals territorialized "religion" in the post-Constantinian era. Finally, the third part presents the first English translations of the <italic>Martyrdom and History of Simeon bar Sabba'e</italic>, a fourth-century Persian bishop whose martyr acts are central to the historiography of the period.</p> / Dissertation

The hypothesis for this research project is: Ammianus’ treatment of the emotion of anger reveals as much, if not more, about his education, values, beliefs, personality, than it does about the people he writes about and that he sees in emotion a major causative factor. This research contained within aims to contribute to a greater depth of understanding of the role of the key emotion of anger within the individual and collective lives of the characters as portrayed by Ammianus Marcellinus and how he uses them to influence the reader and colour his narrative. Scholars now tend to examine Ammianus to discern or evaluate the historical reliability of his authorship. Thus there is scope for examining how Ammianus shapes his narrative and tries to influence the reader by his portraits of individuals and collective characters. Although this approach seems an obvious one, the particular value of this thesis and of its contribution to late Roman historiography is that no one has hitherto done this in an extended and thorough way. While we welcome the importance Ammianus gives to emotions as historical agents, his treatment and representations of them have idiosyncratic features that crucially affect any assessment of him as a subjective observer and reporter of Rome and its past. Making the study keyword based reduces the need to make (possibly erroneous) inferences about whether it is really anger or some related emotion that we are dealing with. This has then lead to the compilation of lists of relevant anger words in Latin that relate to the individuals and groups who are the basis for my study.1 Following this analysis of the use of anger by Ammianus Marcellinus through a careful study of his Res Gestae and the characterisations he incorporated within it is hoped that we can better understand the discourse of Ammianus, by unearthing the bias, the propagandist elements and the general trends of his portrayals, through keywords that refer directly to anger. In this way it is anticipated that we can better understand the purpose behind many of these representations. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2008

This thesis surveys the major works on the topic of verbal aspect. Chapter 1 provides an introduction, giving the background to the issue and listing some of the major contributors to the topic, Stanley Porter, Rodney Decker, Buist Fanning, and Constantine Campbell. Chapter 2 reviews and analyzes the contributions of these authors in this area of study. Further, this thesis seeks to clarify the topic, by exposing each author's views concerning the major matters of debate and by listing some subjects in verbal aspect that are in need of further study; in particular, the issue of the aspect of the perfect verb form, the aspect of the future verb form, and the historical present. Finally, chapter 3 demonstrates the importance of this issue for the study of Scripture, specifically, the study of the New Testament, and it gives suggestions for further study in this area.

Visigothic Hispania, Islamicate al-Andalus and Christian Spain are names representing three scriptural monotheistic civilizations in Iberia. Al-Andalus has stood apart from this list by representing a time and a place of convivencia in which Christians, Jews and Muslims cooperated and coexisted. Why and how the Islamicate civilization in al-Andalus differed from the Visigoths or the Spanish, despite all three sharing a religious orientation is an historical puzzle. By exploring the legal status of Jews within the legal regimes of Christian Rome and Visigothic Hispania, this thesis will suggest that it is cosmopolitanism and its converse exclusivism that best explain concepts of convivencia or coexistence in the face of religious diversity.

Nesse contexto, a institucionalização do cristianismo e a consolidação de uma identidade cristã envolvem tensões, mas também afinidades eletivas; são diversos os processos político-administrativos, culturais e religiosos presentes nessa conjuntura. A proposta desse estudo é inter-relacionar esses processos, destacando a política imperial de favorecimento do cristianismo desenvolvida a partir de Constantino e da virada constantiniana, a emergência de um cristianismo institucionalizado: a Igreja e o desenvolvimento da Cristandade: a aproximação entre autoridades eclesiásticas e imperiais. Indicar-se-á ainda que, a consolidação de uma identidade cristã está intimamente relacionada à firmação de uma ortodoxia e aos discursos dos intelectuais cristãos sobre o “ser cristão” e que ambos foram mais intensamente desenvolvidos na aproximação entre poder imperial e Igreja; a existência de uma religiosidade tardo-antiga com características comuns ao cristianismo, o fortalecimento das estruturas eclesiásticas e as redefinições identitárias possibilitaram a hegemonia de uma identidade cristã dentre as diversas correntes cristãs constituídas ao longo dos três séculos anteriores. / The 4th century presents itself as a decisive moment for the Christianity, to the Church and to the Roman Empire. In this context, the institutionalization of Christianity and the consolidation of a Christian identity involves tensions, but also elective affinities; are several political and administrative processes, cultural and religious gifts at this juncture. The proposal of this study is to interface these processes, highlighting imperial policy of developed from Constantine favoring Christianity, the emergence of an institutionalized Christianity: the Church and the development of Christendom: the rapprochement between Imperial and ecclesiastical authorities. Will indicate that the consolidation of a Christian identity is closely related to the consolidation of an orthodoxy and to the discourses of Christian intellectuals on the “be Christian” and that both were more intensively developed in the rapprochement of imperial power and the Church; the existence of late ancient religiosity with characteristics common to Christianity, the strengthening of ecclesiastical structures and redefinitions of identity allowed the hegemony of a Christian identity among the various Christian currents formed over the previous three centuries.

Title: The Origins of Education in Great Moravia and its Subsequent Manifestations Author: Mgr. Radovan Vlha Department: Czech Language Department Supervisor: prof. PhDr. Radoslava Kvapilová Brabcová, CSc. Abstract The thesis focuses on the origins and manifestations of the education on the territory of Great Moravia. The main research method is the analysis of historical source texts, archaeological artefacts and analogical comparison with the situation in 9th century Europe. The growth of education in Great Moravia commenced with the arrival of Constantine and Methodius mission, which proceed from the Byzantine conception of education. The mission picked up the threads of Bavarian missionaries' work, which is proved by the widely professed Christianity prior to the year 863. Initially, the education centres of western missionaries were used with new premises being built later; Sady near Uherske Hradiste being considered the most important. Scholars with aristocratic backgrounds were educated in these centres. The curriculum consisted predominantly from Old Church Slavonic, prayers, theology and music, sometimes accompanied with Latin. The development of the craft industry requisite for the building of churches, decorating jewellery with Christian motives and production of books was directly connected to...
