As a prominent female composer educated at the court of Louis the XIV, Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre already has a notable place in history. Among her compositions are a dozen cantatas based on Biblical texts. As most of her male counterparts primarily composed secular cantatas set to mythological texts, Jacquet de La Guerre’s sacred cantatas stand out as anomalous in the repertoire. Questions arise as to where they were performed and why they were written. The main barrier to this knowledge is the lack of primary sources on her daily life. This study proposes a new methodology to reevaluate Jacquet de La Guerre’s role in developing the French cantata form as a unique genre, further clarify the function and value of her sacred cantatas, and reconsider their place in the canon. Traditional methodologies in historical musicology, though foundational and valuable, by nature obscure relevant insight and appreciation of these works, which defy traditional categorization. To fill in the gaps in primary sources and broaden and deepen our understanding of French sacred cantatas and Jacquet de La Guerre’s work, this study uses Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory, a sociological and philosophical model for describing and assembling information, in combination with Steven Feld’s series of qualitative, ethnographic questions for music evaluation, a sociomusicological and ethnomusicological model introduced in his article “Sound Structure as Social Structure.” In doing so, this study markedly diverges in perspective from traditional musicological and theoretical approaches. The goal of this methodology is to first reexamine Jacquet de La Guerre scholarship as a check for inherited assumptions or unconscious bias in the approach and then proceed with critical inquiry in this fresh space to unpack the function and value of her sacred cantatas. This study sheds light on the relatively rare and currently underperformed sacred cantata form in eighteenth century France, using Jacquet de La Guerre’s sacred cantatas as a case study. It finds that Jacquet de La Guerre’s sacred cantatas were experimental, progressive, and intellectual in form; likely meant for entertainment, edification, and instruction in function; and highly regarded in value. The methodology described and then employed in this study takes considerable strides in reassessing Jacquet de La Guerre’s activity as both a respected intellectual and celebrated composer in early modern France, in highlighting her role in developing the French cantata form, in clarifying the function and value of her sacred cantatas, and in demonstrating how this reassembled knowledge creates more informed and compelling performances of her music. / 2026-09-25T00:00:00Z

Etre témoin de son temps, transmettre la connaissance du passé et restituer le lien entre un présent et un passé rompu par un grand événement tel que la Révolution est un travail auquel s’est astreint Mme de Genlis pendant plus de la moitié de sa vie. Dans ses romans comme dans ses contes et ses Mémoires, la notion de temps et d’histoire se développe dans le récit à travers les thèmes abordés et crée la forme narrative. L’articulation des différents niveaux temporels est encore plus sensible dans les romans historiques étudiés : Mademoiselle de Clermont, La Duchesse de La Vallière, Madame de Maintenon, Mademoiselle de La Fayette, Jeanne de France et Inès de Castro. L’hypothèse est de mettre en évidence, sur la base de la « référence croisée » telle que définie par Paul Ricoeur, « la fiction emprunterait autant à l’histoire que l’histoire emprunte à la fiction ». Madame de Genlis la romancière nous entraîne dans des époques révolues plus ou moins proches, en suivant le destin d’une héroïne englobé dans un temps plus ample, celui de l’Histoire. La conviction de l’auteur étant que le roman historique est la forme de roman la plus favorable au développement des conceptions morales, c’est une véritable étude du coeur humain et des moeurs d’une époque qui sont proposées dans ces romans. La vie de cour met à nu, à travers le comportement des courtisans, les passions, les vertus et les vices des hommes. Mme de Genlis la narratrice construit des structures narratives où, par un jeu subtil entre le temps du raconter et le temps du raconté, se succèdent narration au passé et commentaire au présent ; récit cadre et récit enchâssé. Le sujet des six romans est emprunté à l’Histoire sur lequel vient se superposer un temps historique plus récent, échappant parfois inconsciemment à l’auteur. C’est le temps de l’univers mental de Mme de Genlis, reflet des préoccupations de son temps : le rapport des femmes au pouvoir, la liberté de choisir son mari, la tentation du couvent, le bonheur dans la vertu. Malgré l’adjectif « historique », ses romans racontent un passé glorifié mais restent tendus vers le présent. / To be a witness of one’s era, to transmit the knowledge of the past and to restore the bond between a present and a past broken by a great event such as the French Revolution is a work to which Mme de Genlis devoted more than half of her life. In her novels as in her tales and her Memoirs, the notion of time and history develops in the narrative through the topics approached and creates the narrative form. The articulation of the various temporal levels is even more sensitive in the historical novels: Miss de Clermont, The Duchess of The Vallière, Madam de Maintenon, Miss of The La Fayette, Jeanne of France and Inès de Castro. The assumption is to bring to light, on the basis of the "cross reference" such as defined by Paul Ricoeur, " the fiction would borrow as much from history as history borrows from fiction " Mame de Genlis, the novelist, carries us away in bygone times that seem more or less close to us, we follow the destiny of a heroin encompassing a time much larger than her own, that of History. The conviction of the author is that the historical novel is the most favorable one to the development of moral concepts; it is a true study of the human heart and one time moral standards which are proposed in these novels. The life at court exposes, through the behavior of the courtiers, the passions, the virtues and the defects of Men. Mme de Genlis, the narrator, builds narrative structures where, by a subtle play between the time of telling and the time of what is told, follow one another narration of the past and comment at the present; a narrative framework and an embedded narrative. The subject of the six novels is borrowed from History on which are superimposed a more recent historical time, that sometimes unconsciously escapes from the author. It is the time of the mental universe of Mme de Genlis, a reflection of the concerns of her era: the women’s relation with power, the freedom to choose one’s husband, the temptation of the convent, and the happiness in virtue. In spite of the “historical” adjective that her novels do have since they tell the story of a glorified past yet they remain very much related to our present time.

The release of the two films, Madame Bovary (1992) by Claude Chabrol and Le Colonel Chabert (1994) by Yves Angelo, arouses an interest in a method which studies the rapport between the seventh art and literature. Following the studies of the narratologists, Gerard Genette, Yves Reuter, Gerard-Denis Farcy, Celestino Deleyto, Andre Gaudreault and Francois Jost, a method of analyzing and studying the relationship between literature and cinema can be developed. The principal interest of a comparative study can reside in the relationship between the story and the narration of the two genres of works. The study conducted at this level of analysis allows the appreciation of the impoverishments or the enrichments operated by the adapter. The comparative analysis of the works of Flaubert, Chabrol, Balzac, and Angelo reveal the problems relative to the cinematographic adaptation.

(in English): The aim of the thesis is to analyze three selected works of Charles Péguy: Le Mystère de la charité de Jeanne d'Arc, Le Mystère du porche de la deuxième vertu and Le Mystère des saints Innocents. The particular Mysteries will be divided into main thematic units and their primary development lines will be researched. Subsequently, there will be observed the thematic evolution of all three works and their interconnection. Both their differences and their common topics will be assessed. It will be reflected what suffering and hope mean to the author and in which manner are these key themes expressed in the text. Then the concentration will be focused on the nature and development of the main characters, and their connection to the author's life. Equally, it will be necessary to mention the author's theology, his attitude towards the church practice of that time and the resulting influence on his work. Finally, there will be synthesized the message of this three selected works.

A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. / "Why do women read the romance?" cannot be answered by Anglo-American feminist literary criticism; a critique is brought against feminist definitions of gender and genre, and the question, "Why did women begin to write (novels)?" Gender definition and genre formation are integrally interrelated in the modern period; this can be traced through textual analyses of textual practices in early nineteenth century texts. Analyses of Wuthering Heights, Emma, and Madame Bovary enable critique to be brought against tenets central to feminist criticism: the figure and function of the female author; the definitions of gender, desire and sexuality; the social and the sexual contracts; and the role of Oedipus in feminist-psychoanalytical debates. Moi's Sexual/Textual Politics provides a. critique of feminism, Armstrong's Desire and Domestic Fiction a feminist history of the novel, and Radway's Reading the Romance a feminist account of romance fiction. / Andrew Chakane 2018

No. of bitstreams: 1 Regiane Magalhaes Boainain.pdf: 961207 bytes, checksum: 81f7fce303e70ae11fb21a2d0180db6f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-09-26 / The present research focuses on the study of the interdiscursivity and the digressions in Madame Pommery by Hilário Tácito. This dissertation objective is to raise data on how tradition is worked in this novel, aiming at explaining its effects in the text. The leading hypothesis in this research is that the strategy of bringing tradition by means of intertextuality modalities has double feature in Madame Pommery. This writing procedure can both denote criticism to the models from the early XXth century or reverence, reinforcing the idea that, in the old, you may find the key to the modern. This dissertation also investigates in which aspects the digressions constitute the work s essence. Hypothetically we deduce that the digressions are strategies employed by the narrator to make the obedient reader, used to passive literature to be an active reader. The analyze of the work allowed us to prove that Tácito, by means of intertextuality modalities, seeks the tradition, not as a copy, but as a review of the past. His writing form both reverences a style and an author, as also signalizes the saturation of a literature not suitable to the reality lived in São Paulo in that time. The work points to new literary possibilities, which soon would be created by the Modernism. Moreover, by the analysis it is possible to affirm that Tácito s modernity is on the fact of being able to, by intertextuality and digression, take the reader out from passivity, involving him in the narrative. This way, Tácito shows the necessity of looking at the reading process from another extremity: the reader, who would only be studied by the Literary Criticism, from 1970 s on / A presente pesquisa centra-se no estudo da interdiscursividade e das digressões em Madame Pommery, de Hilário Tácito. O objetivo deste trabalho é levantar dados sobre a tradição na obra de Tácito, visando explicar seus efeitos no texto. A hipótese que norteia a pesquisa é de que a estratégia de trazer a tradição por meio de modalidades intertextuais tem caráter duplo em Madame Pommery. Esse procedimento de composição pode tanto indicar crítica aos modelos do início do século XX quanto homenagem, reforçando a idéia de que, no antigo, se pode ter a chave para o moderno. Esta dissertação também investiga em quais aspectos as digressões constituem a essência da obra. Hipoteticamente deduzimos que as digressões são estratégias empregadas pelo narrador para desautomatizar o leitor obediente, habituado a uma literatura pouco ousada. A análise da obra permitiu-nos comprovar que Tácito, por meio de modalidades intertextuais, busca a tradição, porém, não como uma cópia, mas como redimensionamento do passado. Sua forma de composição tanto homenageia um estilo e um autor, como também sinaliza a saturação de uma literatura não condizente com a realidade vivida por São Paulo na época. A obra aponta para novas possibilidades literárias que, logo, o Modernismo iria criar. Além disso, pela análise é possível afirmar que a modernidade de Tácito está no fato de conseguir, via intertextualidade e digressão, retirar o leitor da passividade, inserindo-o na narrativa. Com isso, Tácito mostra a necessidade de se olhar para a outra extremidade do processo de leitura: o leitor, que só viria a ser estudado pela Crítica Literária, a partir de 1970
