Analyses of Eighteenth-century French translations of English literature have often been reduced to criticizing so-called "belles infideles". Thus, the complexity of translation and ideological issues has been ignored. The first translations of works by Swift and Pope partake in this tradition as inherited from the Eighteenth century, but they also lay down the groundwork for the Enlightenment. Translating Swiftian satire in Gulliver's Travels , Pope's "badinage" in The Rape of the Lock, Clifton's medical history in the context of Newton's ideas, or social satire in Joseph Andrews, regardless of the degree of "fidelity", is never an innocent process. These issues are coupled with formal ones, translational as well as esthetic, when poetry or the Eighteenth-century novel-style texts are translated. / The importance of the Abbe Desfontaines (1685--1745) is undeniable. As a journalist, he comments, criticizes, and analyses not only the translations of English texts, but also the movement along which English ideas are translated within the French system. His numerous satirical texts also reveal him positioning himself before of the issues of the time. Allowing himself more freedom as a translator, he belongs to the first ones to proceed to the translation of English literature between 1727 and 1743. / In his translations, he adapts, imitates, or censors some elements seen as unacceptable in French. He has therefore been considered to be an "unfaithful translator", a position that does not account for his translation project which it is described in the important paratextual apparatus of his translations. His title pages, and especially his dedications, forewords, and introductions, reveal him as being aware of the most polemical aspects of these texts. So as to avoid the impasse encountered in criticizing the "fidelity" of his translations, I have focused on his paratextual apparatus in order to define his translation project and poetics.

This thesis reflects on the Lettres sur l'Architechure of Viel de Saint-Maux, published in Paris in 1787. This period represents a crisis point at which classical architechure and a traditional means of relating-to-the-world had exhausted themselves. In the Lettres, St.-Maux privileges original agrarian societies who worship the natural force of fecundity and the agricultural bounty that results from it. He claims that this worship supplied the radical base for their iconographic and symbolic forms as applied to architecture. Viel de St.-Maux's privileging of the generative forces of nature as a site for sacred imagining and ritual constructions of the agricultural environment belie a relation to the methodology and epistemology of Natural History as formulated by the Comte de Buffon. / Viel de Saint-Maux sought to resist the threat of an overweening rationality by valuing the wonderment cast by the discoveries of Science. He put his faith in natural science and applied this same compulsion to the ancient primitives who, he believed, knew divinely how to propitiate Nature and its fecundity. Fecundity and Agriculture become metaphors for cultural harmony, enlightenment and a re-fusion of the mystery of vitality into everyday life.

Este trabalho analisa o Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury e o de François Truffaut, em sua proposição de utilizar a oralidade (discurso oral) como forma de manutenção do literário e resistência à imposição e à censura ideológica. Efetua também uma análise comparatista das Utopias Negativas do século XX (obras Distópicas). Ao longo deste projeto, é feita uma análise do surgimento da escrita (alfabético-fonética), e sua estreita relação com o discurso oral. Tenta-se reproduzir a trajetória traçada pelo discurso oral, passando pelo desenvolvimento da tecnologia escrita, assim como a produção cultural tanto no meio oral quanto no escrito, junto com suas conseqüências e influências sobre pensamento humano. Da oralidade dos poemas homéricos à oralidade advinda com o desenvolvimento de aparelhos eletrônicos como o telefone, que, em plena modernidade, voltam a valorizar o discurso oral. Neste projeto a oralidade é vista como algo cíclico. / This thesis analyses Ray Bradbury’s and François Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451, in their proposal of using the oral discourse as a way of maintenance of the literacy as well as resistance to ideological imposition and censorship. It also brings a comparative analysis of the Negative Utopias of the twentieth century (Distopic Literature), along with the rise of writing (alphabetic-phonetic writing), and its close relation to oral discourse. It tries to reproduce the path trailed by oral discourse, passing through the development of writing technology, as well as the cultural production both in the oral and in the writing media, along with its consequences and influences to human thought. From Homer’s oral poems to the oral discourse emerged with the development of electronic devices such as the telephone, which enhance oral discourse in modern times. In this project oral discourse is seen as something cyclical.

Notre travail interroge la représentation et l'attachement à la ville natale dans l'œuvre romanesque de François Mauriac, romancier français (1885-1970) et de Fouad al Takarli, romancier irakien (1927-2008). Notre point de départ est le suivant: le monde s'est métamorphosé, à cause de la mondialisation, en un petit village où l'individu cherche à trouver sa place. Aussi éprouvons-nous la nécessité de définir le lieu natal pour mieux protéger l'existence et l'identité de l'homme moderne. Nous partons de la question préliminaire suivante: « quelle est l'importance qu'acquiert la ville natale dans l'existence humaine? » A partir de la réponse ou des réponses proposées, nous étudions les représentations de la ville natale dans les romans de notre corpus. Combinant une interrogation à la fois comparative, théorique, historique, thématique et analytique, nous analysons la façon dont est présenté ce thème. Notre parcours nous conduit à étudier l'évolution du genre romanesque de façon comparative, pour souligner la spécificité de l'art romanesque français, et pour présenter une partie de l'art narratif dans le monde arabe, surtout en Irak. Nous étudions également les aspects et significations de l'espace et notamment de l'espace littéraire. Nous présentons différentes images de la ville natale dans l'œuvre romanesque de Mauriac et de Takarli. Ces images surgissent des souvenirs et de l'enfance. Des images documentaires représentent, elles, la vie réelle. Des images symboliques enfin traduisent l'attachement à la ville natale. / The literary work discusses the representation and the predestination clinging to the hometown in the novels of François Mauriac, French novelist (1885-1970) and Fouad al Takarli, Iraq; novelist (1927-2008). The starting point is: globalization has changed the world into a small village where the individual seeks to find one's place. Thus there is a strong need to define the native place in order to better protect the existence and identity of modern man. The start is with the following preliminary question: "What is the inherent importance acquired by the hometown in human existence?" based on the answers or the proposed answers, we study the representations of the hometown in selected studies to our work. Combining comparative, theoretical, historical, thematic and analytical questions, we analyze how this theme is presented. The research will be conducted to study the development of the novel on a comparative basis and to highlight the quintessence of the French romantic art, and also to present some of the narrative art in the Arab world, especially in Iraq. The study will probe the aspects and meanings of space and especially the Iiterary space. The study aims to present different images of the hometown in the novels of Mauriac and Takarli. These images emanate from memories and childhood. And they Documentary images recording for a reallife. Finally, the symbolic images reflect the predestined clinging to the hometown.

Concebendo-a como uma forma simbólica, o principal aporte teórico-metodológico mobilizado para a análise foi o Referencial da Hermenêutica de Profundidade (HP). A metodologia sugere três momentos analíticos, não estanques e nem lineares: a análise sócio-histórica, a análise formal ou discursiva e a interpretação/reinterpretação. Nosso movimento analítico propõe, também, uma aproximação da HP com a concepção de Paratextos Editoriais apresentada por Gérad Genette. Apresentado o contexto em que a proposta de pesquisa surgiu e se desenvolveu, e a análise hermenêutica propriamente dita, finalizamos este trabalho com uma discussão sobre a Hermenêutica de Profundidade como um método em desenvolvimento em Educação Matemática, apontando, segundo nosso ponto de vista, as potencialidades e as limitações deste referencial teórico-metodológico para este campo de pesquisa / This work has as its goal to analyse the Essais sur l'enseignement en général, et sur celui des mathématiques en particulier, a book written by Silvestre François Lacroix. Taking the book as a symbolic form, the main methodological framework for the analysis was the Hermeneutic of Depth in its three analitical movements: the sociohistorical analysis, the formal (or discursive) analysis, and the interpretation/(re)interpretation of the symbolic form. As a complimentary element in our methodological framework we also took the dispositions of Gérard Genette on what he calls “Editorial Paratexts”. This report was composed by some initial remarks on how the research proposal arose and how it was effectivelly developed, the hermeneutical analysis itself, and some final remarks on how, according to our point of view, the Hermeneutic of Depth can be implemented in Mathematics Education, which are its strenght and limitations

O objeto de estudo é o filme Thirty Two Short Films about Glenn Gould (1993), do canadense François Girard. O universo musical do filme sugere uma análise específica, muito além da mera funcionalidade da música em relação à diegese. O objetivo é evidenciar como Girard executa cinematograficamente uma leitura sobre posicionamentos estéticos do pianista Glenn Gould e, com isto, ampliar a reflexão em torno da interface música/cinema. A metodologia adotada dialoga, em parte, com a abordagem de cunho fenomenológico de Michel Chion. Entretanto, pelo fato de ser um filme no qual a presença da música, além de assunto, constitui o principal modo de expressão, optou-se por estabelecer, sempre que necessário, aproximações entre a teoria do cinema e da música / Abstract: This thesis proposes an analysis of the film/music relationship through discussions at the interface between Musicology and Film Theory. The chosen subject is François Girard¿s film Thirty-two short films about Glenn Gould (1993). A specific approach is required in order to study the music in this film because of the musical world interpreted here by Girard. The idea is to show how Girard gives a cinematic reading of Glenn Gould¿s aesthetical position and, through this reflection, to provide a contribution to the field of Film Music. The theoretical support for this thesis comprises a number of influential authors on music and cinema theory, with focus on Michel Chion¿s phenomenological orientation / Doutorado / Doutor em Multimeios
