<p>Although interest in the work of untrained artists has surged recently, appearing everywhere from the Venice Biennale to The New Yorker, the art world’s fascination with American autodidacts began nearly a century ago. My dissertation examines how and why American artists without formal training first crashed the gates of major museums and galleries between 1927 and 1940 through case studies on the most celebrated figures of the period: John Kane (1860–1934), Horace Pippin (1888–1946), and Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses (1860–1961). All three painters were exhibited as “modern primitives,” a category that emerged in the wake of the French naïve Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) but which took on a distinct character in the United States where it became a space for negotiating renewed debates about authenticity in American art as well as pervasive social anxieties over how immigration, race, and industrialization were changing the country. In addition to establishing how the “modern primitive" fit into the pluralistic landscape of American modernism, my dissertation reaches into the present, exploring how the interwar breakthroughs of Kane, Pippin, and Moses prefigured the ubiquity of self-taught artists—often referred to as “outsider” artists—in American museums today.</p> / Dissertation

Orientador: Ana Clara Bortoleto Nery / Banca: Sinésio Ferraz Bueno / Banca: César Romero Amaral Vieira / Resumo: O presente trabalho tem como preocupação central mapear as contribuições de Horace Manley Lane na constituição da escola republicana paulista, entre 1890 a 1910. O foco será a ação de Horace Lane junto aos administradores da instrução pública paulista, em especial, Caetano de Campos e Oscar Thompson. Além da revisão dos trabalhos que focam a influência protestante na organização da instrução pública paulista, tomamos como fontes privilegiadas os relatórios oficiais, artigos editados em periódicos educacionais produzidos no período, documentos pessoais de Horace Lane e a edição do livro Education in the State of São Paulo, de autoria do Oscar Thompson, Horace Lane e Carlos Reis, apresentado na Feira Internacional de Saint Louis em 1904. O objetivo central é analisar atuação de Lane na instrução pública e evidenciar a influência da ação protestante em terras paulistas. Esta pesquisa está apoiada nas premissas de Marta Carvalho de uma História Cultural dos Saberes Pedagógicos, dialogando em torno, de suas práticas, seus agentes, suas representações e apropriações para uma nova compreensão da escola. Como resultado, este estudo permite dar visibilidade às contribuições de Horace Lane na consolidação da instrução pública paulista proposta pelos republicanos / Abstract: The purpose of this study is to chart the contributions of Horce Manley in the constitution of the republican school of São Paulo, from around 1890 to 1910. The main focus is the actions of Horace Lane along the administrators of the public instruction of São Paulo, specially Caetano de Campos and Oscar Thompson. Besides the revision of studies that focus on the protestant influence in the organization of the public instruction of São Paulo, we used as privileged sources the official reports, personal documents of Horace Lane and the edition of the book „Eduaction in the State of São Paulo‟, whose authors are Oscar Thompson, Horace Lane and Carlos Reis. This book was presented at the Saint Louis International fair back in 1904. The main purpose is to analyze the interaction of Lane in the public instruction and to point the protestant influence of it. This research is supported in the assumptions of Marta Carvalho from the research "Cultural History of the pedagogical knowledge", discussing around her practices, her agents, her representations and appropriations for a new comprehension of the school. As a result, this study allows us to highlight the contributions of Horace Lane in the consolidation of the public instruction of São Paulo from the Republicans / Mestre

O modus loquendi empregado de acordo com um propósito pré-definido era já entre os antigos tema fecundo, uma vez admitido que o sucesso ou o fracasso de um orador poderia ser determinado unicamente pela sua habilidade retórica. O humor se constituía desde os filósofos pré-socráticos como um poderoso (e perigoso) instrumento capaz de potencializar os efeitos de um bom discurso ou desmoralizar definitivamente aquele que não soubesse usá-lo, por exemplo, com parcimônia e elegância. Multiplicam-se, assim, reflexões sobre a utilidade do riso que visam esclarecer a natureza do que o desencadeia, além de regulamentar o emprego do risível considerando critérios muito bem demarcados. É nesse contexto que se insere o De risu, capítulo III do sexto livro da Institutio oratoria de Quintiliano - o mais extenso dentre os cinco capítulos do livro. Com a tradução do De risu, buscamos sublinhar as especificidades desse ?tratado de uso conveniente do humor? em seu diálogo com a tradição retórica e poética antigas, observando a percepção de Quintiliano sobre o assunto à luz dos autores ali explicitamente citados - quais sejam: Cícero, Catulo e Horácio - nas obras mais frequentemente aludidas no De risu (De oratore II, Carmina Catulli, Sermones) / Abstract: In the Satires (I, I, 24), Horace defends the cunning of laughter on the laborious craft of saying the truth. The modus loquendi used in accordance with a predefined purpose was already recognized among ancient authors as a fruitful subject, once it is admitted that the success or failure of an orator could only be determined by his rhetorical ability. Humour has been constituted, since the post-socratic philosophers, as a powerful (and dangerous) instrument capable of potentializing the effects of an outstanding speech or demoralizing decisively the one who does not make dexterous and parsimonious use of all the inexhaustible resources offered by the method of laughter. Thus, there is a proliferation of reflections on the utility of laughter that intend to clarify the nature of that which releases it, besides regulating the deployment of the laughable, taking into consideration strongly demarcated criteria. It is within this context that the De risu is inserted, the third chapter of the sixth book of Quintilian's Institutio oratoria - the most extensive amongst the five chapters of the book. Through the translation of the De risu, we seek to highlight the specificities of this ?treatise of convenient use of humor? in its dialogue with rhetorical and poetical ancient tradition, observing Quintilian's perception about the subject at the light of authors explicitly mentioned therein - namely: Cicero, Catullus and Horace - in the works most often alluded in the De risu (De Oratore II, Carmina Catulli, Sermones) / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

Our hypothesis is that Horatio approximates the Emperor through the relationships of patronage, by the friendship of patrons and, thereby, the speech that the poet constructs about the Prince reflects the obligations of a client to their patron. In this sense, we have divided our dissertation in three chapters: in the first, we will present the life of Horace, the political dimension of his work and the importance of the rhetoric and the memory for the construction of his laudatory speech; in the second, we will show the rise of Augustus in the Roman political life and the gradual process of building his authority over the years, the amicitia and patronage relationships established with Maecenas and Augustus; in addition, the importance of recitatio and books for dissemination and circulation of his works among the readers and listeners; in our third chapter will present, in fact, the images of the Emperor Augustus in the poems of Horace, by analyzing the importance of the construction of the speech on its domus Augusta, the idea of rescue of the virtues of ancestors and, finally, the promise of a lasting peace and prosperity. For this purpose, we use the concepts of speech, memory, representation and power in the construction of the text. Thus, we will make a reading of the poems of Horace as a speech that maintains a close relationship with his political and social context, because he writes his verses on the idea that his work would be a monument that would bequeath to the future generations the memories of the Emperor and its deeds for Rome and the Romans. / Nessa dissertação, nos propomos a apresentar uma análise da obra do poeta romano Horácio (65-8 a.C.), de modo a analisar as representações do Imperador romano Augusto e sua domus em seu livro IV das Odes e no poema Carmen Saeculare. Nossa hipótese é a de que Horácio se aproxima do Imperador por meio das relações de patronato, por intermédio da amizade de Mecenas e, desse modo, o discurso que o poeta constrói sobre o Príncipe reflete as obrigações de um cliente para com seu patrono. Nesse sentido, dividimos nossa dissertação em três capítulos: no primeiro, apresentaremos a vida de Horácio, a dimensão política de sua obra e a importância da retórica e da memória para a construção de seu discurso laudatório; no segundo, mostraremos a ascensão de Augusto na política romana e o processo paulatino de construção de sua autoridade ao longo dos anos, as relações de amicitia e de patronato estabelecidas com Mecenas e Augusto; além disso, a importância da recitatio e dos livros para divulgação e circulação de suas obras entre o público leitor ouvinte; em nosso terceiro capítulo apresentaremos, de fato, as imagens do Imperador Augusto nos poemas horacianos, ao analisar a importância da construção do discurso sobre sua domus Augusta, a ideia de resgate das virtudes dos antepassados e, por fim, a promessa de uma paz e prosperidade duradoura. Para tanto, usamos os conceitos de discurso, memória, representação e poder na construção do texto. Assim, faremos uma leitura dos poemas de Horácio como um discurso que mantém uma relação íntima com seu contexto político e social, haja vista que o mesmo escreve seus versos apoiando-se na ideia de que sua obra seria um monumento, o qual legaria às gerações posteriores as memórias do Imperador e de seus feitos para Roma e os romanos.

Recentemente, tem aumentado o interesse acadêmico nas figurações do Baco romano, que, até então, não havia recebido tanta atenção quanto o Dioniso grego. Novos estudos têm mostrado como o repertório dionisíaco proliferou no Período Augustano, produzindo novas metáforas atreladas às transformações sociais, políticas e culturais da época. Horácio, o poeta que mais desenvolveu os temas dionisíacos entre os augustanos, apresenta diversas facetas do deus em diferentes gêneros poéticos, reservando a ele um lugar de destaque em suas Odes. Esta pesquisa preenche uma lacuna nos estudos de poética latina, discutindo questões associadas a Baco e ao simpósio em Horácio, tendo em vista os papéis do deus como herói deificado, divindade simpótica e orgiástica e patrono da poesia, em associação a temas como o amor, a política, a guerra, a patronagem e a composição poética. A tese divide-se em seis capítulos: dois capítulos introdutórios em que são considerados antecedentes e aspectos gerais de Baco e do simpósio, e quatro capítulos com a análise desses temas em Horácio. No terceiro capítulo, o enfoque é sobre o furor dionisíaco como impulso poético. Nos capítulos quatro e cinco, o simpósio - presidido por Líber - é observado como um cenário metafórico em que a persona poética de Horácio relaciona-se com amantes, patronos, poetas e amigos; um lugar onde o vinho combina com política, guerra, amor, amizade e poesia. No capítulo final, são analisadas questões de composição poética associadas ao engenho e ao furor poético dionisíacos. / Recently, scholarly interest in the representations of the Roman Bacchus has increased, which had not received as much attention as the Greek Dionysus. New studies have shown how the dionysiac repertoire proliferated in the Augustan Age, producing new metaphors linked to cultural, social and political transformations that took place in the period. Horace, who is the most prolific of the Augustan poets in the use of dionysiac imagery, presents different aspects of the god in different genres, reserving a special place to him in his Odes. This research fulfills a gap in the studies of Latin poetics, exploring issues associated with Bacchus and the symposium in Horace, considering the gods roles as deified hero, sympotic and orgiastic divinity and patron of poetry in association with themes such as love, politics, war, patronage and poetic composition. The thesis is divided into six chapters, with two introductory chapters on the antecedents and general aspects of Bacchus and the symposium, and four chapters with an analysis of these themes in Horace. In the third chapter, I investigate the Bacchic enthusiasm as a metaphor for the poetic impulse. In chapters and four and five, I observe the symposium - presided over by Liber - as a metaphorical setting where the poet interacts with lovers, patrons, other poets and friends; a place where wine combines with politics, war, love, friendship and poetry. In the last chapter, I consider issues of poetic composition connected with dionysiac ingenium and poetic furor.

Cette étude analyse l’emploi des couleurs dans l’intégralité des oeuvres de Lucrèce, Catulle, Virgile, Horace, Tibulle, Properce et Ovide. Cette étude a été conduite à partir d’un référentiel de termes de couleur unique et considérablement élargi par rapport à l’habitude en ce domaine : aux termes courants, comme albus, niger, ruber, etc., ont été ajoutés un grand nombre d’autres termes porteurs implicites de couleur comme aurum (l’or), ebur (l’ivoire), marmor (le marbre) ou encore sanguis (le sang), dès lors que l’occurrence était pertinente. Un inventaire exhaustif et quantifié de tous les termes de couleur, de toutes leurs occurrences dans chacune des oeuvres fait l’objet d’un document annexe (292 pages), enrichi de tableaux de synthèse et de ratios : il est ainsi possible de vérifier immédiatement la présence ou l’absence d’un terme, de connaître sa fréquence d’apparition chez chaque poète, dans chacun de ses poèmes. L’étude s’est attachée à analyser et comparer les emplois de chaque terme chez chacun des poètes, à souligner les symbolismes, les alliances et les contrastes de couleurs que privilégie chaque poète, à étudier la manière dont chacun peint portraits, paysages, scènes diverses, à s’interroger sur les raisons des lacunes ou des concentrations de couleurs au sein des poèmes. Ainsi on a pu mettre en évidence selon les thèmes (épopée, élégie ou satire), la profonde cohérence entre le style, la personnalité de chaque poète et sa palette de couleurs, sa manière d’en user. / This study examines the use of color in the entirety of poetic works by Lucretius, Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid. This study was conducted using a single reference tool of color-related terms, which allows a more thorough analysis of early Latin poetry than has typically been the case. To common terms such as albus, niger, and ruber, have been added numerous terms which implicitly signal the presence of color within the text, such as aurum (gold), ebur (ivory), marmor (marble), and sanguis (blood). A comprehensive inventory of color terms appears in a 292-pages appendix that contains summary tables showing where each term can be found in the works studied. It is therefore possible to immediately verify the presence or absence of a color term, and to map the frequency with which it appears in a particular poem or in the work of a particular poet. This study seeks to analyze and compare the use of color terms as used by each poet ; to highlight the symbolism as well as the color combinations and contrasts favored by each poet; to study the ways in which each poet paints portraits, landscapes, and various other scenes with words ; to raise questions about the absence or concentration of color in the heart of particular poems. By doing so, it becomes possible to demonstrate - in the case of epic, elegy, or satire - the profound coherence linking poetic style, the personality of the poet, the color palette, and the manner in which it is used.

Anyone who has gazed at a cloud free sky during daytime certainly havenoticed that the colour of the sky is blue. A careful observer may also havenoticed that the sky can look darker or lighter blue. The actual reasonsbehind this nature phenomena were not resolved until the second half ofthe 19th century but the variation of blue was already investigated duringthe time of Enlightenment by the Genovan scientist, aristocrat and mountainexplorer Horace Benedict de Saussure (1740{1799). De Saussure wasa scientist of his time and he measured many natural constants. When deSaussure climbed the Alp mountains he noticed that the sky turned darkerwith a more intense blue, at higher altitudes. To get a relative measure onhow blue the sky was, de Saussure invented a device he called cyanometer.It is a colour chart containing dierent hues of blue, starting with very lightblue, ranging all the way to dark blue. With this simple device de Saussurecould get a recordable measurement on how blue the sky was at the timefor the observation.This thesis deals with the cyanometer as a scientic instrument. It is ofinterest to investigate the cyanometer from a history of ideas perspective,so that this scientic instrument can be put in a visual culture context.Moreover, an investigation of how de Saussure developed the instrumentcan also show his thinking for the modications of it that he made. Further,the visual culture ideas can be applied on the main article de Saussure wroteabout the cyanometer in 1789.During the period when de Saussure was an active mountain explorer,he made several cyanometers which all varied in layout and the number ofblue colour sections included. In this thesis an analyse of the four dierentoriginal cyanometers that de Saussure made will be done. This analysis includesa quantitative comparison between the versions and a discussion onhow the instrument was made and operated. In order to trace a biographicalviewpoint on the cyanometer the thesis will also discuss how de Saussure'sidea, to measure the blueness of the sky, developed after his lifetime.

This dissertation proposes a new interpretative approach to the theatrical material in Horace’s Sermones and Epistles. In particular, it focuses on a selection of poems in which Horace employs a wide array of dramatic devices to depict and discuss the patron-client relationship (Sermones 1.9, 2.5, 2.7 and Epistles 1.17 and 1.18). These devices include dialogue, stage directions, stock characters, expressly theatrical metaphors, and diction echoing playwrights such as Plautus and Terence. I argue that Horace intentionally activates the language of the stage in order to spotlight the theatricality involved in performing the role of a client. In so doing, the poet characterizes the client as an actor and underlines the scripted nature of the words and gestures that he directs toward his patron. In each of these poems, Horace employs a variety of negative stereotypes in order to associate the client with different kinds of performers (e.g., the parasitus, captator, servus, scurra, and planus). In the process, he confronts criticism that he himself likely received in the extrapoetic world impugning his amicitia with his own patron, Maecenas. Horace defends himself against charges of acting and sycophancy by demonstrating that an element of performance is endemic to the patron-client relationship itself. The dissertation is organized as a series of close readings of the five poems that best illustrate Horace’s correlation between dramatic and social performance. For each poem, I identify and interpret the dramatic elements and illustrate how they complement and enhance the dramatic subtext. Chapter 1 concentrates on Sermones 1.9, in which Horace encounters a pest seeking an introduction to Maecenas. Chapter 2 deals with Sermones 2.5, the dialogue between Tiresias and Ulysses on the subject of inheritance-hunting (captatio). Chapter 3 explores Sermones 2.7, in which Horace’s slave Davus accuses him of proteanism when it comes to Maecenas. Chapter 4 presents comparanda from Horace’s Epistles 1.17 and 1.18, in which Horace utilizes the same dramatic devices to shape his advice to two prospective clients. Taken together, these analyses uncover new layers in Horace’s multifaceted depiction of the patron-client relationship, and provide additional insight into his poetic personae and poetic program.
