La Reina Jano de Frédéric Mistral : estudio comparativo con dos obras españolas

Cano Gil, Josefa Ángeles 16 January 1999 (has links)
La figura mítica de Juana de Nápoles y Provenza centra nuestro trabajo. Personaje controvertido, con grandes defensores y numerosos detractores, que forma parte de la historia de Provenza y, en su momento, atrajo la atención de Frédéric Mistral que le dedicó la única obra de teatro que encontramos en su amplia producción literaria. En su momento, comenzamos nuestra investigación realizando el análisis de La Reino Jano de Mistral, tragedia lírica provenzal en cinco actos publicada en 1890. Nos basamos en la completa edición de E.G. Léonard, que incluye la traducción francesa, realizada por el propio Mistral, junto con un estudio de la obra. En éste Léonard menciona dos composiciones españolas referidas al personaje que nos ocupa y que decidimos intentar localizar puesto que podían enriquecer la visión del personaje histórico y de ficción que nos presenta Mistral. Se trata de las dos obras siguientes: La reyna Juana de Nápoles y Marido bien ahorcado de Lope de Vega, drama en verso dividido en tres jornadas y La gran comedia, el monstruo de la fortuna, la lavandera de Nápoles, Felpa Catanea cuya autoría parecen compartir Calderón, Montalbán y Rojas Zorrilla. Tras una lectura atenta de las tres obras, consideramos oportuno, antes de realizar un examen pormenorizado de ellas, introducimos primero en el personaje histórico de Juana de Nápoles pues la soberana se constituía en el hilo vertebrador de los dramas y en la protagonista que daba sentido al argumento, lo que nos llevó posteriormente a contemplar la posibilidad de una investigación comparativa partiendo de las similitudes de las piezas lo que nos permitiría también observar las diferencias producidas.

An Application of Grundgestalt Theory in the Late Chromatic Music of Chopin: a Study of his Last Three Polonaises

Spicer, Mark Joseph 12 1900 (has links)
The late chromatic music of Chopin is often difficult to analyze, particularly with a system of Roman numerals. The study examines Schoenberg's Grundgestalt concept as a strategy for explaining Chopin's chromatic musical style. Two short Chopin works, Nocturne in E-flat major. Op. 9, No. 2, and Etude in E major, Op. 10, No. 3, serve as models in which the analytic method is formulated. Root analysis, in the manner of eighteenth-century theorist Simon Sechter, is utilized to facilitate harmonic analysis of chromatic passages. Based upon the analytic method developed, the study analyzes the last three polonaises of Chopin: Polonaise in F-sharp minor, Op. 44, Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53, and Polonaise-Fantasie in A-flat major, Op. 61. The Grundgestalt-based analysis shows harmonic, melodic and rhythmic connections in order to view Chopin's chromaticism and formal structure from a new perspective. With this approach, the chromaticism is viewed as essential to the larger form.

Der idealisierte Frédéric Chopin

Ridder, Paul 17 January 2024 (has links)
When Frédéric Chopin, starting his international career, visited the music festival at Aachen in 1834, he was portraited by Jan Willem Pieneman (1779‒1853), Royal painter, director of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam and chief of the Academy of Art (J. W. Pieneman, Portrait F. Chopin, age 24, oil/ wood, 22 x 27 cm, sign., officially sigell. by town of Amsterdam). The young man got the chance to present himself with some of his own works. The reaction was enthusiastic. The new portrait also won the sympathies of the public, since it was understanding of the curious situation of the young aspirant full of hope. At this time an objective picture was still possible, since the ideal picture of F. Chopin was just in the beginning of his career. The idealization which comes near to the romantic stereotype of genius in disease is shown in detail.

Sépultures du cimetière de Saint-Frédéric : étude sur la quincaillerie de cercueil et les modes d'inhumation d'une communauté catholique et rurale de la Beauce aux 19e et 20e siècles

Janson, Rébecca 16 April 2018 (has links)
S'inscrivant dans le domaine de l'archéologie funéraire, ce mémoire a pour sujet d'étude l'assemblage funéraire mis au jour lors de la fouille d'une partie du cimetière de Saint-Frédéric de Beauce (ca 1850 - ca 1967). L'analyse des pièces de quincaillerie de cercueil, objets archéologiques très peu documentés, s'effectue avec en toile de fond une description et une compréhension des modes d'inhumation de cette communauté rurale. Par la consultation d'anciens catalogues et la comparaison avec d'autres sites similaires du nord-est de l'Amérique, une chronologie de la forme des cercueils et des ornements métalliques s'y rattachant est proposée. Dans le contexte d'une production industrielle de ces objets, nous voyons comment l'industrie de la mort et l'instauration d'un vaste réseau de vente inaugurent le début de l'uniformisation de l'apparat funéraire. Une incursion dans le monde du symbolisme des rituels funéraires nous permet de constater que cette industrie s'est toujours conformée à l'évolution de la perception populaire de la mort.

Stylistic Analysis of the Chopin E Minor Concerto

Carmignani, Anna Marie 08 1900 (has links)
Both of the Chopin concertos are the earliest of his works to be found in the ordinary piano repertoire, and they possess the direct influences and inherited traits of the composer. Since he did no more orchestral work after completing these two works, it is evident that he thought only in terms of pianistic expression. Probably one of the reasons for Chopin's ineffectiveness as an orchestral writer is due to his inability to conform to the classical form: sonata allegro. The e minor concerto is representative of his treatment of the larger forms. Analyzing the elements of an early work of the composer reveals the degree of maturity in individual traits. Elements of basic chord structure and use of harmony, melodic characteristics, and pianistic expression mark the style of a composer. This concerto demonstrates the beginning of chromatic harmony in his time and in his own writing; it contains melodic beauty and pianistic features which make it acceptable in standard concerto repertoire in spite of its many defects.

The Nocturnes of Frédéric Chopin and Gabriel Fauré, a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by Other Composers for Piano

Roberson, Richard E. 12 1900 (has links)
The romantic piano literature contains three important collections of nocturnes. The nocturnes of John Field (1782-1837) were the first to appear, and were followed by collections from Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) and Gabriel Faure (1845-1924). While the relationship of the nocturnes of Field to those of Chopin is well documented, the corresponding relationship between Faure and Chopin is not. This study contains a detailed examination of this relationship, and shows the precise nature of Chopin's strong influence on Faure's early nocturnes, as well as the nature of Faure's growth from that influence. Chopin's influence was strongest in the area of harmonic language, as Faure carried certain of Chopin's techniques to logical extremes. Faure also adopted ternary form as the important form for the piece from Chopin. Faure's use of this form shows both similarities and differences from that found in Chopin. Faure's early nocturnes employ the same basic textures as Chopin's nocturnes, but Faure's later works abandon this in favor of increasingly contrapuntal writing. Chopin's influence is weakest in the area of melodic construction, as Faure's melodies often show a rigorous motivic construction which is not found in Chopin.

Économie de la gratuité / Economics of gratuitousness

Gbedolo, Catherine O. 10 June 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse répond au défi lancé par Benoît XVI (2009), qui avait appelé toutes les personnes de bonne volonté à réfléchir sur le rôle de la gratuité dans l’économie et la société. Nous avons tâché de relever ce défi sur le plan scientifique, avec les outils et les démarches de l’analyse économique. Sur la base d’une revue systématique de la littérature économique portant sur la gratuité, nous avons essayé de rassembler des éléments pour donner un contenu à une « théorie des biens économiques gratuits ». Cette démarche nous a permis de définir ces biens gratuits, leurs formes et manifestations, et de comprendre leurs principales causes et conséquences. Une attention particulière a été accordée à l’étude de la « gratuité non intentionnelle », omniprésente dans la vie économique. Cette forme de gratuité émane, d’un côté, spontanément du processus de production et, d’un autre côté, des activités des entrepreneurs et des génies créatifs. Une implication forte de ce résultat est que la recherche de profit, stimulus de l’entrepreneur, n’est pas en soi opposée à la production de biens économiques gratuits ; bien au contraire, elle en est une cause. Peu d’économistes apprécient la gratuité non intentionnelle à sa juste valeur. En exagérant la portée réelle de conceptions théoriques telle la maximisation du profit et la concurrence atomistique, la plupart des économistes en appellent à l’État pour limiter les activités marchandes et pour assurer la production de biens économiques gratuits. Il est donc vrai, mais dans un sens assez paradoxal, que l’économie de marché pourrait s’ouvrir davantage à la gratuité si les économistes eux-mêmes travaillaient moins à la réduire dans ce champ. / Benedict XVI (2009) has called upon all persons of goodwill to reflect upon the role of gratuitousness in economy and society. The present thesis responds to that challenge on the level of scientific inquiry, with the tools and the methods of economic analysis. Starting from a systematic review of the economic literature dealing with gratuitousness, we have tried to assemble conceptual elements to build a “theory of gratuitous economic goods”. Thus we have defined the nature of such gratuitous goods, their forms and manifestations, and analysed their principal causes and consequences. We have bestowed particular attention to the study of “unintentional gratuitousness” – an omnipresent phenomenon in economic life. This form of gratuitousness emanates, on the one hand, spontaneously from the market process and, on the other hand, from the activities of entrepreneurs and creative geniuses. A strong implication of this finding is that the profit motive, the stimulus of entrepreneurial action, is not per se in opposition to the production of gratuitous economic goods; quite to the contrary, it is one of their causes. Few economists have understood the nature and role of unintentional gratuitousness. Most of them, by exaggerating the scope of theoretical concepts such as the maximization of profits and atomistic competition, call for the government to limit the scope of for-profit activities and to promote the production of gratuitous economic goods. Thus it is true, though in a quite paradoxical sense, that the market economy could allow for much more gratuitousness if only the economists themselves did less to prevent this from happening.

Sous l'oeil du capital : notes pour une histoire politique et affective des représentations du travail ouvrier / Under the eye of Capital : notes for a political and "affective" history of labor representations

Le demazel, Florent 20 December 2018 (has links)
En adaptant la philosophie de Spinoza aux analyses de Marx, Frédéric Lordon a montré comment le capitalisme s'est développé en modelant les désirs, les affects et les imaginaires des travailleurs, afin d'en capter efficacement la force de travail. Partant de ces postulats, on se propose d'analyser trois stratégies affectives, mobilisant des images et des mises en scène du travail, à trois phases historiques distinctes du capitalisme. La première partie sera consacrée à l'Encyclopédie des Lumières et à ses planches des "Arts mécaniques". Nous évoquerons les premiers pas d'un capitalisme utopique découvrant les bienfaits de la division du travail, dont les gravures donnent un aperçu idéalisé. Nous aborderons ensuite l'Exposition Universelle parisienne de 1867, qui présente l'intérêt de multiplier les mises en scène spectaculaires des marchandises, des machines et des "petits métiers", autant que les perspectives théoriques de domination, allant du fétichisme des biens matériels à l'apologie du paternalisme. Enfin, la collection La France travaille, enquête ethnographique agrémentée de photographiques de François Kollar, offre un panorama nationaliste et conservateur des classes laborieuses à l'orée des années 1930, s'efforçant de rassurer devant les incertitudes de la mécanisation et de la crise économique. Nous montrerons que chacun de ces objets, vision du travail sous l'oeil du capital, entend recouvrir de son voile la réalité de l'ouvrier. Nous réfléchirons aux formes politiques susceptibles de lever ce voile et de représenter le vécu du travail et à leur efficacité. / French economist and philosopher Frédéric Lordon renews our comprehension of marxist structures by his interpretation of Spinoza's philosophy. He showed that capitalism had to shape desires, affects and imaginary of working class to expand its own influence and catch the labour power. We will analyze three "affective strategies", using pictures and stagings of work, at three historical periods of capitalism development. The first chapter will be devoted to the Encyclopédie and its plates of "Mechanical Crafts". Based on this exemplary work of the Enlightenment, this chapter will evoke the beginnings of utopian capitalism and its faith in division of labour, illustrated by the plates which give some ideal vision. Then, we will address the Second Paris International Exposition of 1867 : it displays merchandises, industrial devicesand workshops. It rewards too different contemporary experience of paternalism. Finally, the collection La France travaille, ethnographical survey illustrated by François Kollar's photographs, shows a nationalist and conservative panoramic view of French working class in 1930's. These books try to reassure readers faced with the financial crisis and fear of mechanization. Each studied object shines a light on labor under the eye of capital and covers the experience of worker. We will remind the experience through accounts and writings of working people.
