Le travail du négatif, théorisé au départ par la philosophie, nous a aidés à approcher ce qui apparaît, à nos yeux, comme le cœur de notre étude, cette action qui semble profondément agiter le corpus de fictions choisies. Si le travail du négatif est un mouvement qui prend forme dans un contexte de polarisation où l’autre est toujours sous-entendu, s’il est agitation équivoque et instabilité, comment s’actualise-t-il chez Diderot ? En ce sens, l’étude des circonstances de production s’avère primordiale. Les censures et les réseaux ont une incidence sur les productions artistiques. De plus, les textes denses déploient des techniques de louvoiement qu’il convient de défaire. Des genres au rapport au réel, de la mise en fiction de la pensée aux catégories référentielles, les brouillages de pistes sont réitérés et accordent en fin de compte à la parole une place centrale. Face à ces informations, le travail du lecteur est complexe. Le déploiement de la pensée diderotienne, à travers la multiplicité, est-il lié à cette agitation « négative » ? Enfin, nous interrogeons encore cette impression de mouvement qui se dégage des textes étudiés. Tout se passe comme s’ils tendaient vers la préservation de la force et de la puissance du geste de penser, comme si en même temps entre philosophie et littérature, le style diderotien se construisait. La forme dialogique structure le texte. L’ironie et ses figures façonnent les phrases et les situations de sorte à placer le lecteur dans un inconfort actif, de sorte à répercuter sur lui les questionnements internes au texte et à le déborder. Ce travail du négatif, plus ou moins abondant selon les œuvres, remet en perspective la notion de littérarité. / The work of the negative, a concept that initiated in philosophy, allowed the researcher to tackle the core of this study, as this action appears to shake profoundly the corpus of fictional texts chosen. If the work of the negative is a movement, which is shaped within a context of polarisation where the other is always implied, if there is an ambiguous turmoil and inconstancy, how does it actualize in Diderot’s work? To this extent, the study of the context of writing is essential as censorship and networks impact the arts. Additionally, the density of the texts requires unpacking the rhetorical effect of the convoluted prose. From genres to the connection to reality, from fictionalization of thoughts to narrative mode, tracks are covered repeatedly, thicken the plot, and eventually grant the central places to speech. In light of this information, the reader’s task is intricate. Is this “negative” stir connected to Diderot’s unfolding his thoughts through multiplicity? Lastly, we will probe further the feeling of movement which emanates from the texts at hand. It is as if it converged towards preserving the strength and power of thinking, as if in the meantime at a cross section between philosophy and literature, the style of Diderot was shaping up. A dialogic form structures the writing. Irony and its features mold sentences and situations in order to place the reader in an active discomfort, it reverberates the questioning inherent to the writing, and overflows. The work of the negative, which can be found more or less profusely in Diderot’s work, puts the notion of literarity into perspective.

No segundo quartel do século XII, Suger de Saint-Denis, monge cluniacense, escreveu três textos nos quais mencionou e descreveu a reforma que conduziu na abadia de Saint-Denis durante seu abaciado. Essa reforma foi posteriormente identificada pela História da Arte como a origem da arquitetura gótica. Tais textos, conhecidos como Ordinatio, De Consecratione e De Administratione, publicados e traduzidos em diversas edições, foram analisados, assim, por alguns historiadores da arte, como Erwin Panofsky, Peter Kidson, Jean-Claude Bonne e Conrad Rudolph, a partir de marcos teóricos relacionados às artes, à arquitetura, à estética e à psicologia. Contudo, apesar de muitos estudiosos, como Rita Copeland e Suzanne Reynolds, advogarem a importância da retórica no século XII, as características retóricas desses textos não foram, ainda, examinadas de forma minuciosa por estudiosos. A investigação sobre os gêneros discursivos nos quais os textos foram compostos, sobre as partes do discurso e sobre as técnicas retóricas aplicadas aos textos pode revelar que algumas passagens que tradicionalmente foram tomadas à letra ou como a experiência empírica e a opinião de Suger podem ser pensadas como posicionamentos não literais e discursivos. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é contribuir para a erudição sobre os escritos de Suger por meio do reconhecimento e da análise de suas características retóricas / In the second quarter of the twelfth century, Suger of Saint-Denis, a Cluniac monk, wrote three texts in which he mentioned and described the renovation he carried out in the abbey church of Saint-Denis in his prelacy. That renovation was later identified by History of Art as the origin of Gothic architecture. Such texts, known as Ordinatio, De Consecratione, and De Administratione, published and translated in several editions, have thus been analyzed by some art historians, namely Erwin Panofsky, Peter Kidson, Jean-Claude Bonne, and Conrad Rudolph, based on theoretical frameworks related to the arts, architecture, aesthetics, and psychology. Nevertheless, although many scholars, such as Rita Copeland and Suzanne Reynolds, have been asserting the importance of rhetoric in the twelfth century, the rhetorical character of these texts has not yet been thoroughly examined by scholars. Investigation into the genres in which the texts were written, into the parts of discourse, and into the rhetorical techniques applied to the texts may reveal that some passages that have traditionally been taken at face value or as Suger\'s empirical experience and opinion may be thought of as non-literal-minded and discursive stances. Therefore, the purpose of this research project is to contribute to the scholarship on Suger\'s writings by recognizing and scrutinizing their rhetorical features

As fontes medievais abundam em referências à sua proeminência, designando-a como a ¿mãe das igrejas francesas¿. Por muitos séculos, ela foi o núcleo da prestigiosa abadia real, estatuto que a isentava de qualquer dominação feudal ou eclesiástica, estando sujeita apenas ao rei. No que respeita à história da arte, pode-se dizer que o período mais significativo na trajetória da igreja abacial é o da reforma promovida pelo abade Suger, realizada entre 1137 e 1144. Suger promoveu uma reformulação completa na parte ocidental (nártex) e na cabeceira (o coro e a cripta), transformando completamente o antigo edifício, da época carolíngia (século VIII). O nártex foi ampliado e ganhou elementos novos, como a rosácea na fachada, três portais de entrada e as estátuas-coluna, hoje desaparecidas, que flanqueavam o portal central. No coro, a mudança foi ainda mais intensa: a pequena abside carolíngia foi substituída por uma estrutura de grandes dimensões, equipada com sete capelas radiantes. A grande novidade ficava por conta dos vitrais que recobriam as janelas desses oratórios, os quais permitiam à luz do dia espalhar-se por todo o coro, desobstruído das grossas paredes. As mudanças estruturais e a nova concepção do espaço tornavam o edifício bastante distinto, quando comparado às construções românicas da época; a Saint-Denis de Suger é vista pelos estudiosos da arte medieval como um protótipo, onde a arquitetura gótica encontrou sua primeira definição, irradiando-se, nos séculos seguintes, para toda a Europa. Esta dissertação de Mestrado apresenta a tradução de um dos textos capitais para a compreensão das realizações de Suger em Saint-Denis, o De Consecratione Ecclesiae Sancti Dionysii, acompanhado de notas explicativas e dois textos críticos: um sobre o lugar de Suger na historiografia da arte medieval e outro acerca das relações entre teologia e ¿estética¿ no templo edificado pelo abade / Abstract: The abbey church of Saint-Denis, situated at the vicinity of Paris, is one of the most proeminent of the European Middle Ages. Medieval sources have a great number of references to its importance, naming it as the ¿mother of the French churches¿. For many centuries, the abbey church was the core of the prestigious royal abbey, and its status has made it free of any feudal or ecclesiastical domination and only subject to the king himself. To art historians, the most significative moment in the history of the church is the great reform promoted by abbot Suger (1122-1151) during the years 1137-1144. Suger has achieved a complete reformulation in the western sector (the narthex) and the chevet (the choir and the crypt), transforming the old carolingian building (erected at the 8th century). The narthex was enlarged and added of three new portals and statue-columns (disappeared) that flanked the central portal. In the choir, the changes were still more significant: the little carolingian apse was removed and, at its place, a new and great structure was constructed, equipped with seven radiant chappels. But one of the most significant innovations present in Suger¿s new building were the stained glass windows, the great vitraux that let the daylight spread over the choir. One can say that the structural changes and the new conception of the ecclesiatical space gave the church of Suger a new form, quiet different from other romanic sanctuaries of its time. This new building erected under Suger¿s administration is considered by the scholars as the beginning of Gothic architecture, which should spread thereafter all over Europe. This Ms. Dissertation offers a translation (to portuguese) of Suger¿s little book De Consecratione Ecclesiae Sancti Dionysii, with explicative notes and two analytical texts: the former is about the place of Suger at the medieval art historiography and the latter is about the relations between the theology and the ¿aesthetics¿ in the old Saint-Denis abbot¿s temple / Mestrado / Historia da Arte / Mestre em História

Using concepts of cognitive evolutionary theory, the author explores how narrative storytelling manifests itself in Denis Johnson's novella Train Dreams. The novella form is also discussed, focusing on its manipulation of linear time, its naturalization of supernatural elements, and its deconstruction of dichotomous relationships. Utilizing the novella's distinct structural and thematic elements, Johnson's text shows the myth of American expansionism and industrial progress and that of Kootenai holism in collision, resulting in a narrative renegotiation that seeks to affirm coexistence and complexity.

Thus, based on his thoughts, try to understand the purposes of which, the philosopher will demonstrate from the representative act, in France during the 18th century. Diderot suggests an improvement in the way of making theatre, as well as in its own theatrical representations. The philosopher will determine a theory for the actors to improve their performances. The performances should be based on nature observation, aiming to be studied and represented with pure rationality. In this regard, he gives emphasis to artificiality in disadvantage of nature to create perfection in a scene. In Diderot’s point of view, the theatre should be and do the job of remove society’s addictions and make people work on their virtue. In addition, theater plays should approach people’s busy lives and through that he suggests and introduces a new genre called drama and it is a genre that can be classified as intermediate, being in between tragedy and comedy / A presente dissertação tem como intuito analisar a importância do teatro no pensamento de Denis Diderot. Portanto, buscamos como isso entender os propósitos, aos quais o filósofo evidenciará a partir do ato representativo na França do século XVIII. Diderot, não só propõe uma reforma no modo de fazer teatro como também nas próprias representações teatrais. O filósofo irá formalizar uma teoria para que os atores pudessem aprimorar suas atuações. Estas devem ser pautadas na observação da natureza, com a finalidade de serem estudadas e representadas com a mais pura racionalidade. Neste sentido, o enciclopedista enfatiza a artificialidade em detrimento da natureza para existir a primazia em cena. O teatro para Diderot deveria ser e fazer o papel de expurgar os vícios da sociedade, fazendo com que os indivíduos aprimorassem a virtude. Além do mais as peças teatrais deveriam retratar a vida corriqueira das pessoas e com isso propõe e inaugura um novo gênero, este seria o gênero sério ou drama, o qual é intermediário, está entre a tragédia e a comédia

A despeito de Platão desferir sua crítica à poesia em A República dentro de um contexto ético-político; e Diderot, por sua vez, em O Paradoxo sobre o Comediante, dentro de um registro estético, observa-se um posicionamento análogo dos dois filósofos no tocante ao tema. Dentre muitos pontos análogos observados entre eles, concentramos nosso olhar em dois deles que nos pareceu fundamentais às referidas críticas: as noções de páthose de ideal. Tanto em Platão quanto em Diderot observa-se que a figura do artista é sempre pensada em relação com essas noções. Embora, à primeira vista, sejamos tentados a concluir que, nessa relação, o ideal apresenta-se como um antípoda das paixões, percebe-se mais atentamente, que estas oscilam: ora figuram como um empecilho, ora, como uma referência positiva dentro das respectivas críticas; a chave para apaziguar esse conflito será a temperança (sophrosýne). Diante disso, nos propomos, com esse trabalho, investigar e explicitar essa relação cambiante que se encontra de forma análoga nos referidos filósofos. / The aim of this work is, as the text indicates, to present the critique of the artist undertaken by Plato and Diderot. Despite Plato launch his criticism of poetry in The Republic within an ethical-political context; and Diderot, in his turn, in The Paradox of the Comedian, within an aesthetic register, there is an analogous position of the two philosophers regarding the subject. Among many similar points observed between them, we focus our vision into two of them that seemed to us fundamental to such criticism: the notions of pathos and ideal. In both Plato and Diderot one observes that the figure of the artist is always thought of in relation with these notions. Although at first glance, we could be tempted to conclude that, in this relationship, the ideal is presented as an antipode of the passions, we can see more closely that these oscillate: sometimes they show up as a hindrance, sometimes, as a positive reference within the respective critiques; the key to appease this conflict will be temperance (sophrosýne). In view of this, we propose, with this work, to investigate and explain this unstable relationship that one finds in an analogously form in those philosophers.

According to the latest Celluloid Ceiling Report, conducted by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, only 7% of all directors working on the top 250 films in the United States in 2014 were women. These bleak statistics no doubt replicate the condition of women in countless other national cinemas. It is, therefore, critical that more attention be given to the women who do manage to succeed in the male-dominated film industry. In my dissertation, I examine the work of two major French women filmmakers, Catherine Breillat and Claire Denis, who have resisted the kind of marginalization and even erasure of women’s presence which this data represents, achieving along the way distinction not just in the French, but in the global cinema context. I analyze their work primarily through the lens of auteur theory and the Cixousian notion of the feminine. For the purpose of this work, I define an auteur as a filmmaker who has established a distinctive but evolving style as well as a set of thematic preoccupations across a significant number of films and a considerable span of time and whose films are recognizable no matter the subject they treat or the context in which they are made. At its inception, auteur theory signaled a radical break with the tradition of film adaptations and literary screenplays that either did not understand or did not care to exploit the specificity of the filmic medium. Yet, in spite of the revolutionary aspects of auteurism, it has remained somewhat regressive in its recognition of and engagement with gender problematics. The putative gender neutrality of auteurism is, in practice, an assumption of masculinity. Female film directors who achieve auteur status (a minority compared to the number of men given the same consideration) are then marked by their difference, they are not simply auteurs but female auteurs. While this designation is potentially limiting, I assert that it is, in fact, a valuable designation, since it has opened up a space for female filmmakers to rewrite dominant cultural narratives and from a feminine perspective. Claire Denis and Catherine Breillat consistently practice a feminine form of filmmaking, that is, filmmaking that opposes through form and representation, the logical, teleological narratives and adherence to patriarchal values associated with traditional filmmaking. While traditional, masculine filmmaking is designed to halt the proliferation of meaning, feminine filmmaking allows for ellipses, creates a space for the unsaid and the unknowable; it asks questions but does not answer them; it allows the reader or viewer to participate in the production of meaning. These are the kinds of films that Denis and Breillat are making and they need to be recognized for their exemplary artistic contributions as well as the space they have created for others to challenge the status quo in the film industry.

Depressions in the prairie pothole region (PPR) are commonly referred to as sloughs and were formed during the most recent glacial retreat, ~10-17 kyrs ago. They are hydrologically isolated, as they are not permanently connected by surface inflow or outflow channels. Extreme thunderstorms are common across the prairies and the hydrologic response of isolated wetlands to intense rainfall events is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to compare the response of different landscape/ecological elements of a prairie wetland to snowmelt and extreme rainstorms. Comparisons were completed by investigating the spring snowmelts of 2005 and 2006 and the rainstorm event of June 17 - 18, 2005, in which 103 mm fell at the St. Denis National Wildlife Area (NWA) Saskatchewan, Canada (106°06'W, 52°02'N). The wetland was separated into five landscape positions, the pond center (PC), grassed edge (GE), tree ring (TR), convex upland (CXU), and concave upland (CVU). Comparison of the rainfall of June 17 18, 2005 with the spring snowmelts of 2005 and 2006 indicates that the hydrologic consequences of these different events are similar. Overland flow, substantial ponding in lowlands, and recharge of the groundwater occur in both cases. Analysis of this intense rainfall has provided evidence that common, intense rainstorms are hydrologically equivalent to the annual spring snowmelt, the major source of water for closed catchments in the PPR.

Ce mémoire consiste en l'étude des différentes modalités par lesquelles la présence d'éléments culturels autochtones participe de l'ensauvagement du sujet poétique. L'ensauvagement, tel qu'on le retrouve à l'oeuvre chez Paul-Marie Lapointe, Patrick Straram et Denis Vanier, est une construction symbolique qui repose sur le caractère perméable et hybride de l'identité. Il implique diverses tactiques, dont l'identification aux premières nations et l'appropriation de signes autochtones, qui visent à rompre avec la domesticité et qui bousculent les clichés. La subjectivité mobile de la poésie, depuis le «Je est un autre» de Rimbaud, autorise ce type de déplacement identitaire et culturel. S'accompagnant d'un désir d'authenticité, l'ensauvagement se manifeste à travers différentes incarnations, qui tendent à brouiller la distance entre le soi et l'autre. Il compose des bricolages de cultures et d'identités, fait pénétrer, parfois violemment, l'altérité au-dedans du sujet. Dans les poèmes de Lapointe, Straram et Vanier, l'ensauvagement nous amène par ailleurs à repenser, de manière moins figée, ce qui peut être considéré comme autochtone. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Ensauvagement, Paul-Marie Lapointe, Patrick Straram, Denis Vanier, Poésie québécoise, Cultures Autochtones, Autochtonicité.
