Thesis (MA (Dept. of Ancient Studies) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / Throughout the centuries artists have visualised the imaginative works of Publius Vergilius Maro in a variety of art forms. Paintings, frescoes, sculptures and even tapestries have made the wordscenes of his great epic, the Aeneid, concrete. The thesis investigates only the illustration of the epic in manuscripts and printed texts or translations. The illustrations of scenes in Book VI – the journey of Aeneas in the underworld – are studied using the reception-historical approach. This is to determine whether the illustrations of the Trojan hero’s journey in the underworld reflect the reception of the Aeneid in the different eras or periods. The illustrator is a “reader” of the Aeneid text or translation and consequently his/her illustration of a particular scene reflects his/her own visual interpretation thereof. Illustrations of Book VI in manuscripts like the Vergilius Vaticanus of late Antiquity and the mid- 15th century Riccardiana Vergilius of Apollonio di Giovanni are examined. A study of illustrations in printed texts or translations range from the 1502 Grüninger edition of Vergil edited by Sebastian Brant to the Book VI illustration of Thom Kapheim in a textbook published in 2001. The aim is to establish how illustrators associated with Book VI, interpreted it, how their environment and the spirit of the age influenced their visualisation and how their illustrations reflect the reception of the epic throughout the centuries. Such a study hopes to provide a contribution to Vergilian reception and Nachleben. In the process a better understanding can be obtained for the importance and changing role of Aeneid VI and the whole epic in different eras. It is found that the illustrators of the Aeneid – influenced by the different spirit of their times and environments – brought forth unique visual interpretations of scenes in Book VI that suggest a particular reception of the epic at that specific point of time. The illustrative spectrum of Book VI throughout the centuries can be summarised as follows: revival, allegorisation, pedagogic, realistic decoration and eventually increasingly unrealistic decoration. From late Antiquity to the beginning of the 21st century, the illustrative visualisation of the journey of Aeneas in the underworld indicates that there has always been a definitive response to Vergil and his epic.

Die Dissertation India Book House und die Comic-Serie Amar Chitra Katha (1970-2002) ist eine interdisziplinär angelegte Studie. Sie vermittelt Erkenntnisse über einen vernachlässigten Bereich der Mediengeschichte Indiens. Im ersten Teil wird das Modell "Kreislauf der Kultur" auf das Medienprodukt Amar Chitra Katha angewandt. Dabei werden fünf Prozesse berücksichtigt: Repräsentation, Produktion, Identität, Konsum und Regulierung. Im zweiten Teil werden ausgewählte ACK-Ausgaben aus den Kategorien Mythologie und Geschichte formal-inhaltlich analysiert und verglichen. Die jeweiligen Unterschiede in der Bearbeitungsform der ACK-Ausgaben werden auf die Erkenntnisse des ersten Teils bezogen. Dadurch konnten die arbeitsbedingten und verlagspolitischen Motive der Transformationen der ACK-Serie belegt werden.

The work Psiquê (2010) Angela Lake, was the object studied throughout this research. The author, rescuing the classical greek myth of Eros and Psyche, recounts the story of lovers with innovative features and instigators of the imagination. The author Teresa Colomer (2003), in The formation of the literary reader: children's storytelling and current youth has allowed us to understand a little more about the Lake trajectory within the historical context of children and youth literature in Brazil. The words deserve a single chapter, where you can discuss the importance of hybrid genre and its ability to unite prose and poetry without losing the quality of text, so we were guided by studies of Octavio Paz (2012), in The Bow and the lira. The author discusses the importance of word and its plural ability to be more than mere linguistic signs. The illustrations have preserved the poetic, as raised the multiplicity of meanings in this way were studied, first, alone. The light theories Sophie Van der Linden (2011) in Order to read the picture book could analyze the images so that each of them could exhibit its potency. But as word and image can not be dissociated from this context, we developed a final chapter to show the union between the two media. We note from the reflections of Mircea Eliade (2012), in Myth and reality that Psiquê extinguishes the boundaries of literary genres, recovering and returning the poetic origins / O presente trabalho procurou analisar como uma narrativa pode ser construída a partir da interação entre duas linguagens: verbal e visual. A obra Psiquê (2010) de Ângela Lago, foi o objeto estudado ao longo desta pesquisa. A autora, resgatando o clássico mito grego de Eros e Psiquê, reconta a história dos amantes com traços inovadores e instigadores da imaginação. A autora Teresa Colomer (2003), em A formação do leitor literário: narrativa infantil e juvenil atual nos permitiu compreender um pouco mais a respeito da trajetória de Lago dentro do contexto histórico da literatura infantojuvenil no Brasil. As palavras mereceram um capítulo único, no qual pode se discutir a importância do gênero híbrido e sua capacidade de unir prosa e poesia sem perder a qualidade do texto, para isso fomos orientados pelos estudos de Octávio Paz (2012), em O Arco e a lira. O autor discute a importância da palavra e sua capacidade plural em ser mais do que meros signos linguísticos. Já as ilustrações preservaram o poético, tal como suscitaram a multiplicidade de significados, desta forma foram estudadas, primeiramente, sozinhas. A luz das teorias de Sophie Van der Linden (2011), em Para ler o livro ilustrado conseguimos analisar as imagens de modo que cada uma delas pudesse exibir sua potência. Mas como palavra e imagem não podem ser dissociadas neste contexto, desenvolvemos um último capítulo a fim de mostrar a união entre os dois meios de comunicação. Constatamos a partir das reflexões de Mircea Eliade (2012), em Mito e realidade, que Psiquê extingue as fronteiras dos gêneros literários, resgatando o poético e retornando às origens

Les liens qu’entretient le cinéma avec les journaux illustrés ont été perçus très tôt par les observateurs. Or, si les historiens semblent s’accorder sur une « influence » de la presse illustrée sur la production comique du cinéma français, les journaux humoristiques s’intéressent peu au cinéma de manière générale et ignorent complètement, ou presque, les films comiques. Comment expliquer ce phénomène ? Cette thèse propose de développer trois pistes de réflexion. En premier lieu nous tentons d’appréhender la manière dont la presse illustrée a perçu l’émergence et l’essor du spectacle cinématographique au tournant du XIXe siècle jusqu’au milieu des années 1910. Pour la plupart des chroniqueurs le spectacle cinématographique apparaît comme un intrus parmi les spectacles scéniques parisiens, déportant en quelque sorte la rivalité entre théâtre et cinéma dans la presse illustrée. Puis, en nous intéressant aux proximités entre films et journaux, il apparaît que le cinéma emprunte aux journaux autant qu’il recycle leurs histoires comiques, les modernise. Cela nous conduit enfin à envisager les deux médias sous l’angle de leurs divergences, à la fois idéologiques et politiques, empêchant une rencontre qui semblait pourtant à première vue inévitable. / The links between the cinema and the illustrated press were perceived very early by the observers. Now, if historians seem to agree on an "influence" of the illustrated press on the comic production of French cinema, humorous newspapers are not very interested in cinema in general and completely, or almost completely, ignore comic films. How to explain this phenomenon ? This thesis proposes to develop three lines of thought. First, we try to understand the way in which the illustrated press saw the emergence and growth of the film show at the turn of the 19th century until the mid-1910s. For most chroniclers the cinema appears as an intruder among the Parisian stage shows, deporting in a way the rivalry between theater and cinema in the illustrated press. Then, by looking at the proximity between films and newspapers, it appears that cinema borrows from newspapers as much as it recycles their comic stories, modernizes them. This leads us finally to consider the two media from the angle of their differences, both ideological and political, preventing a meeting that seemed at first sight inevitable.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Thais Regina.pdf: 7142284 bytes, checksum: 2477288921627880d68c3803d0b9746f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-02-15 / Leguminosae Juss. is the third largest family of Angiosperms, comprising 727 genera and 19,325 species. Due the great N2 fixation in the soil, this family represents one of the leading families in floristic, phytosociological studies and recovery projects of degraded areas. However, some of these species have dormancy, which hinders germination. Such species variety can lead to difficulties in identification, particularly in sterile sample collection. Therefore this study aimed to develop a list with field tips, systematic identification keys and an illustrated guide, addressing the major vegetative diagnostic features of Leguminosae arboreal of Corredor de Biodiversidade Santa Maria, PR; as well as evaluate the germination test and treatments to overcome Seed dormancy of 10 Mimosa bimucronata (DC.) Kuntze. Samples have been collected in different areas of the Corridor. Legumes collected were photographed, recording morphological and vegetative stem rhytidome, staining the inner bark and / or sapwood, presence of gum shape of the leaflets, the presence of spines, glands, hairiness, and when present, flower and fruit. The samples were identified and housed into the Herbario da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná. For breaking dormancy were tested different treatment and also performed curve soaking to these seeds. Was prepared with a list of 29 tips field Leguminosae species found in the study area, which were made for one dichotomous key and a guide with plates illustrating the main diagnostic vegetative characteristics in order to assist in the identification of species of Leguminosae present in West of Paraná. The treatments with higher germination percentage and better germination speed were: immersion in sulfuric acid (10 min); soaking in acetone for 15 min, cutting the integument and immersion in water at 80oC (cooling in 24 hours), being the latter the most indicated. But all are efficient to overcome dormancy of M. bimucronata by increasing the percentage of germinated seeds and germination rate / Leguminosae é a terceira maior família de Angiospermas, compreendendo 727 gêneros e 19.325 espécies, representando uma das principais famílias em estudos florísticos e fitossociológicos. Tal riqueza pode ocasionar dificuldades na identificação, principalmente em coletas de amostras estéreis. O objetivo do presente estudo foi elaborar um guia ilustrado com dicas de campo, bem como uma chave de identificação abordando as principais características vegetativas diagnósticas das Leguminosae arbóreas do Corredor de Biodiversidade Santa Maria, o qual une a Faixa de Proteção do Lago de Itaipu ao Parque Nacional do Iguaçu. O corredor que reúne vários remanescentes de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual do sudoeste do Paraná e áreas reflorestadas. Foram coletadas amostras em diferentes áreas do corredor, sendo três remanescentes florestais (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Reserva Legal da Fazenda São José, Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural da Fazenda Santa Maria e matas ciliares do rio Bonito), e duas áreas reflorestadas (Faixa Seca e Faixa de Proteção do Lago de Itaipu). As leguminosas coletadas foram fotografadas ainda em campo, com câmera semiprofissional, registrando aspectos morfológicos vegetativos como tronco, ritidoma, coloração da casca interna e/ou alburno, presença de exsudato, formato dos folíolos, presença de acúleos, glândulas, pilosidade e, quando presentes, estruturas reprodutivas. As amostras foram identificadas e adicionadas ao Herbário da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná. Foram encontradas 29 espécies de Leguminosae, para as quais foram elaborados um guia com pranchas, ilustrando as principais características vegetativas diagnósticas, bem como uma chave dicotômica, a fim de auxiliar na identificação das espécies de Leguminosae presentes no sudoeste do Paraná. Características do tronco como ritidoma, casca interna e/ou alburno, formato e coloração dos folíolos, presença de exsudado, acúleos, pilosidade ou glândulas foram de grande valia em campo, pois permitiram a identificação das espécies de Leguminosae do Corredor de Biodiversidade Santa Maria

Victorian prisoners were increasingly out of sight due to the ending of public displays of punishment. Although punishment was hidden in the prison, prison life was a frequent subject for representation. In this dissertation, I examine the ways Victorian illustrated newspapers, paintings, and photographs mediated an encounter with prisoners during a time when the prison was closed to outsiders. Reports and images became a significant means by which many people learned about, and defined themselves in relation to, prisoners. Previous scholarship has focused on stereotypes of prisoners that defined them as the “criminal type,” but I argue prisoners were also depicted in more ambiguous ways that aligned them with “respectable” members of society. I focus on images that compare the worlds inside and outside the prison, which reveal instabilities in representations of “the prisoner” and the ways this figure was defined against a societal norm. Such images draw attention to the act of looking at prisoners and often challenge a notion of the prison as a space of one-sided surveillance.

This thesis investigates various representational modes and strategies in the Shanghai courtesan illustrations in Dianshizhai Pictorial. The aim of the study is to examine how Shanghai's early modern identity was imaged, imagined and contested through the courtesan figure. I argue that by establishing a new urban iconography, Dianshizhai Pictorial transformed the Shanghai courtesan from a traditional archetypical meiren to a universal image of the urban beauty. On the one hand, the modern city, previously an alien concept, was made familiar and acceptable through the image of the Shanghai courtesan. On the other hand, the ambivalence of the courtesan's new image mirrored a mixed feeling of fear, anxiety and disdain towards the emerging metropolis. The courtesan illustrations, hence, served as an important domain where different public understandings of the city were negotiated and expressed in pictorial terms.

Dans le cadre de cette étude, deux catalogues ont été établis : le premier dresse une liste critique et mise à jour des éditions attribuées à Antoine Vérard ; le second répertorie toutes les gravures figurant dans ces dernières, ainsi que leurs occurrences. Cette double recension a permis de mettre en évidence le travail de treize dessinateurs, dont le Maître de Robert Gaguin et, peut-être, le Maître de la Chroniques scandaleuse. Vérard, qui était vraisemblablement déjà libraire avant de se lancer dans l'édition, se serait surtout inspiré de l'œuvre des imprimeurs-libraires parisiens, lyonnais et strasbourgeois plutôt que des manuscrits. La façon dont il fit usage des gravures évolue au cours du temps. Cette évolution est probablement l'expression d'une mutation des attentes des lecteurs, toujours plus nombreux et possédant des bibliothèques de plus en plus fournies aux XVe et XVIe siècle. Le génie de notre libraire fut de s'adresser concurremment à toutes les catégories sociales de lecteurs, quelle que soit leur richesse (en particulier grâce à la personnalisation des exemplaires). Il contribua donc largement à la diffusion de l'art parisien du livre illustré. / For the purpose of my study, two catalogues were put together. The first one is a critical list of the editions attributed to Vérard (updating those of John Macfarlane and Mary Beth Winn). The second one is a list of all the cuts used in those editions with their occurrences. My analysis shows that these cuts were based on drawings of at least 13 artists. The Master of Robert Gaguin and, perhaps, the Master of the Chroniques scandaleuse were among them. Vérard probably sold books some time before he started publishing. The study shows that his use of woodcuts was inspired by bookseller-publishers from Paris, Lyons and Strasburg instead of following the manuscripts. The way Vérard used the cuts changed during his career. It could indicate an evolution in the way people read illustrations. Indeed, during the XVth and XVIth centuries, the number of book owners was continuously increasing, and so was the amount of books possessed by each of them. Vérard was probably one of the very few publishers able to produce books for every kind of reader (merchants, nobility, clergy, scholars, women), regardless of their wealth (thanks to the customisation of the copies). That is why we can say that he contributed greatly to the growing popularity of the Parisian art of illustrated books.

Czech Illustrated Magazines of the Second Half of the 19th Century Markéta Dlábková Abstract of the thesis Illustrated magazines are specific phenomenon in the 19th century culture. Between the 1860s and 1890s they published an enormous number of pictorial materials of diverse content and quality. Apart from general social importance they played a significant role in the world of art as well. Today they can serve as a beneficial source of knowledge about situation on Czech as well as European art scene in the period. The so-called penny-magazines of the 1830s can be seen as predecessors of illustrated magazines. They presented a cheap and popular source of knowledge and amusement, together with considerable amount of xylographic illustrations. However, it was the second half of the 19th century that witnessed a real boom of illustrated magazines. At the beginning of the 1840s, the Illustrated London News, the Leipziger Illustrirte Zeitung and L'Illustration established the character of this type of periodicals. In following years there were many other magazines rising throughout entire Europe. In the Czech lands, first examples of the type can be found at the end of the 1850s. Květy (1865-1872), Světozor (1867-1899) and Zlatá Praha (1884-1929) belong among the most successful periodicals. The thesis deals...
